Chapter 1 General Administration of Astronautics

Volume III, Chapter I, General Space Administration

The General Administration of Aerospace of Order Star was set up in the western suburbs of Saroyan, a large area of farmland was expropriated, and the core area of nearly 100 square kilometers was a large construction site at this time.

This was a huge investment by the Duchy of Marcellus to stimulate the economy. The Blackfire Company and the Moke Company provided the capital and technology, and the Duchy of Marcellus provided labor and land. The future General Directorate of Space of the Order Star is shared by the three families, and the first director is the Duke of Whitehead.

The Duke of Whitehead, who had relinquished all power, devoted all his energies to the construction of the General Space Administration. He actively contacted scientific researchers, organized workers to expand the land, built the airport, and first built several important roads.

Although the General Space Administration is not what it should be, several ultra-high-altitude airships donated by Blackfire have begun to take off in rotation to carry the stationed scientific researchers to conduct data collection and conduct some experiments under extreme conditions.

Build as you learn.

The Duke of Whitehead also modified one of the ultra-high-altitude airships, loaded them with the newly developed Silver Wing of the Magic Company and the latest fighter jets of the Black Fire Company, formed the first interstellar force of the Order Star, and appointed Anne, who had left the Imperial Navy, as the commander of this interstellar force.

Although the combat range of this interstellar force still cannot fly out of the planet's gravity, and it is somewhat unworthy of the name, the Duke of Whitehead has unlimited expectations for this 3,000-strong army.

Annie, who already knew that an interstellar war was approaching, seized every moment to train this interstellar army. She knew that Young Master Liang would never let this army only stay in the airspace of 100,000 meters, and the current training was all to prepare for officially entering the orbit of the Order Star in the future, or even beyond.

And according to the information revealed by the Elysee Avenue, the equipment provided by the Black Fire Company and the Moke Company can enter space with only a little modification.

Anne, who had completed a flight training, landed on the temporary office building of the General Space Administration in a silver wing. The entire site is littered with small buildings like this, which were built by magicians for temporary lodging and office.

The newly produced Silver Wing of the Demon Science Company has added the design ideas of the Starlink individual mecha, and the alchemy technology of the Great Tomb provides the support of magic rules, so that the Silver Wing has a certain space combat capability.

The new Magic Thermocore makes steam generation even more efficient. The vapor ionizes through the gas magic engine and breaks down into oxygen and hydrogen, which then burns and erupts, giving the Silver Wing a higher level of kinetic energy.

The mecha part makes extensive use of Starlink's technology. Many of these components cannot be produced by Order Star, and the Great Tomb cannot be manufactured in large quantities, so it can only be imported through Scarab Corporation. For example, in the case of joint combat systems, until the Great Graveyard gets the subspace database out, buying is the only way to get it.

The weapon part retains the alchemy rifle used by the original Silver Wing.

Starlink individual mecha concentrates long guns and short cannons, energy weapons, and miniature missile launch matrix...... A variety of weapon systems certainly give the individual soldiers of the Star Alliance a very strong firepower, but so many weapons installed in the limited mecha space are themselves an encroachment on the mecha's protective capabilities.

When designing this Silver Wing, Moke prioritized the cost......

The import part of the mecha is a large amount of foreign trade expenses, and if you save a little here, you will have more alliance credits to purchase other necessary goods.

In addition, the weapons sector should not be overly dependent on imports. The Order Star's Alchemy Rifle does not have much technical disadvantage, and only by constantly optimizing it can it establish its own individual weapon system.

There is a complete set of alchemy rifle production lines inside the Great Tomb, and what Da Liang has to do is to ask the Alchemy Laboratory to design a set of alchemy styles for the new alchemy rifle, so that one gun can give full play to the effect of the entire individual weapon system of the Star Alliance.

And when the alchemy laboratory had not yet come up with a usable technique, the dwarven craftsmen of the Great Tomb took the lead in completing the design of the rune rifle. Later, after the alchemy laboratory developed the matching technique, there was the rune alchemy rifle that is now used by the Silver Wing Mecha.

Experimental...... The Rune Alchemy Rifle can effectively penetrate the frontal armor of the Federation-standard individual mecha under the normal armor-piercing technique; In the face of enemy heavily armored units, you can use the Corrosion Technique to penetrate them; The bombing technique can be locked in advance to complete automatic guidance at a certain distance.

In sniper mode, the Hawkeye can be turned on to perform over-the-horizon attacks, and in the case of datalink sharing, the nearest companion of the target can be used for secondary aiming.

The mech's defense capability is improved, which is an unexpected bonus after solving the weapon. The free space can install more protection modules for the mecha, especially the reinforcement of the power system, which greatly improves the survivability of the mecha on the battlefield.

The Silver Wing individual mecha, which takes into account offense, defense, and high mobility, and is controlled by a magician, shows actual combat effectiveness far beyond the regular military units of the Star Alliance.

However, considering the scarcity of mages, the Silver Wing Mech certainly can't be used as arbitrarily as a regular army. Therefore, in order to cooperate with the Silver Wing Mecha, Blackfire Company used existing aviation technology to develop an interstellar fighter for air supremacy operations; Moke has also made a low-profile version of the individual mecha, equipped with ordinary soldiers, for starship landing battles.

Generally speaking, there is not much generation difference between Order Star and Star Alliance in terms of individual weapons, and some things that can be done with technology, and the magic technology of the Great Tomb can also be done in different directions. With the technical help of the Scarab Company in terms of weapons, plus the import of some components, the Great Tomb has made a decent set of individual weapons after absorbing the military characteristics of the Order Star.

The passable in Da Liang's eyes is undoubtedly like an artifact in Anne's eyes.

The all-enveloping style gives a very safe feeling, and the flight maneuvers that had to be done carefully in the past can now be tried more boldly. In addition, when the helmet is closed, it appears in the field of vision with numbers and images, which can allow her to better grasp the changes in the outside world. Not only can she talk to her teammates who are thousands of miles away, but she can also see what her teammates see through data sharing.

It took Anne a long time to get used to the strong dynamics, and she barely got used to the feeling of being in the air.

And the weapon in her hand shocked her even more. Just at an altitude of 100,000 meters, she turned on the sniper mode and shot through the over-the-horizon eagle eye, supplemented by the vision of her lurking teammates, and the bullet fired bypassed the obstacle and accurately hit the target on the ground, shooting through a special armor plate.

There is also a magic amplification device built into the mecha, which allows her to then throw a burst fireball, which explodes a two-meter-deep crater in the ground.

The Silverwing Mecha is nothing short of the previous Silverwing. When Annie was shocked by the alchemy technology in the ancient magic era, she was also thinking about what kind of powerful enemy it was, and she needed Young Master Liang to create such a powerful weapon.

Disarming the mech, the wings are folded and the feet form support. The mech's frontal armor unfolded, and Anne stepped out of it. After the square mecha cabin was recovered, Anne handed over the Silver Wing mecha to the logistics maintenance personnel and walked into the office building of the General Space Administration.

At this time, the Duke of Whitehead was standing behind the windowsill of his office and watching a super-high-altitude airship taking off, and high-speed warplanes swept by from higher airspace.

On the ground in front of the office building, the engineering team is driving an excavator to dig a circular pit hundreds of meters in diameter. In order to keep the Space Directorate alive in the event of an interstellar war, most of the Agency's offices will be set up underground.

In order to speed up the construction progress, the Salo Yang University Alliance sent many magicians who specialized in earth magic. Da Liang also secretly sent some craftsmen who participated in the construction of the large tomb to guide the layout of the underground engineering of the General Space Administration.

The power of the Great Grave can't cope with a long-term interstellar war, and Da Liang won't put his high-level combat power into a low-end war of attrition.

Da Liang has seen the all-dimensional war of the hero world.

When everyone has a certain amount of top-level force, they will be very cautious about the use of top-level force. Only when the battle reaches a certain scale and a decisive battle is formed, will we see high-end armed fighting. Most of the time, ultimate creatures, even when they're on the battlefield, stay in the rear to form a deterrent, rather than risk a battle to win or lose a normal battle.

In the strategic stalemate, 90 percent of conflicts are fought without ultimate creatures, and they don't necessarily participate in the battle, even on the battlefield. Both sides will try to preserve their own ultimate creatures and trap the enemy's ultimate creatures as much as possible in ordinary contact battles, so most of a war is a contest of conventional military forces between the two sides.

Good steel is used on the blade, and if Da Liang wants to leave his strongest military power last, he must support the order interstellar army.

The Duke of Whitehead, who is well versed in the art of war, is certainly aware of the role of the General Directorate of Order, Star and Space in this interstellar war. It is to constantly concentrate the materials of the order star, train the interstellar army, send the most superior soldiers into space, and then use millions of lives to win strategic time, and wait for the moment of the final decisive battle.

It's brutal, but the technology difference makes it so hard for the Order.

"Father......" Anne knocked on the office door and walked in. The Director's Office was not as luxurious as the Governor's Palace, everything was newly built, and only the practical things needed were left, and other decorations that showed status were not used. Anne walked up to her father and said, "Our soldiers are now adapting to the new weapons. Truth be told, they ...... It's so advanced that it's hard to navigate on first contact. ”

The Duke left the window and sat down in his place, and he asked Anne to sit down before saying, "No matter how difficult it is, you must get used to these weapons as soon as possible." We are running out of time, we must train the first army that can participate in the war as soon as possible, and the soldiers who will join in the future will also need qualified instructors. ”

At this time, Anne already knew about the existence of the Star Alliance, and there was still an anti-aggression war waiting to be fought by herself. As the representative of the local forces of the Order Star, the General Space Administration must come up with a combatable army and fight with Young Master Liang. Anne replied, "Rest assured, I know what to do, the General Directorate of Aviation will not miss the first battle with Starlink."

……”

Next, Anne reported to the Duke of Whitehead on the progress of the interstellar force's training.

After listening to this, the Duke did not interfere with Annie's training, but instead asked, "Annie, I know that Young Master Liang has already established contact with him when he first came to Salo Yang. I want to investigate his identity, but you've been obstructing.

Now I know the reason why you are blocking me from investigating Young Master Liang, he does have a very, very powerful background, and I still don't know his details.

He knew that there were extraterrestrial civilizations, and he had been to the Star Alliance, and he would build starships.

Is he also from an extraterrestrial civilization? A civilization that is different from the Star Alliance, he is helping us, but he is actually using us to fight the Star Alliance? ”

The Duke of Whitehead did not know the origin of Da Liang at this time. Seeing Young Master Liang's methods and the technology in their hands that surpassed the Order Star made the Duke even more afraid to investigate.

Now the Star of Order is going to fight a war that is related to the fate of civilization. The duke has always considered whether Young Master Liang is friend or foe...... What is his purpose in helping Order Star fend off the invasion?

In order to dispel the doubts in his heart, the Duke could only ask his daughter again.

In the past, Da Liang told Anne not to reveal his identity, but he and his father have cooperated to this point, and it should be no problem to let his father know who he is facing.

Anne now has no more estrangement with the duke, and she also sees her father's soft side. So Anne said, "I met Young Master Liang on the way to take up his post in Saroyang. He is not from an extraterrestrial civilization, but from the ancient age of magic.

Including his subordinates, they were all heroes of the ancient magical age.

For some unknown reason, they slept beneath the Desert of Death for two thousand years, and then woke up two years ago.

The rest is basically clear to you...... The Ancient Age of Magic had magical alchemy technology far beyond ours, which was why Blackfire was so easy to create a magical potential activation potion. There are also special steels, hovercraft, and silver wing mechas, all of which make extensive use of ancient alchemy technology. ”

Listening to Anne's words, the Duke of Whitehead's eyes widened. He has been speculating about Young Master Liang's origin these days, and the most reasonable thing is that he comes from an extraterrestrial civilization and has the technology to surpass the Order Star in his hands.

But he really didn't expect that Young Master Liang and his subordinates were from the Ancient Magic Era, the ancestors of two thousand years ago.

"Are you sure?" The Duke still couldn't believe it, it was unbelievable.

Anne affirmed, "I'm sure." And according to my estimate, Young Master Liang had a very high status in the Ancient Age of Magic. There is an angel by his side......"

"Angel!" This is even more shocking to the Duke than Young Master Liang coming from the Ancient Magic Era, this is the ultimate creature, the guardian of the human race: "Which one?" ”

"It's Lord Julian...... Although her sister Juliet is also an angel, it seems that Julian is not a type of angel. They became paladins of the Holy See of the Most Good not because of the charism of the God of Light, but because they were angels in the first place. And, father, do you know about the army of hell and the demons on the ghosts? ”

There were two angels in the city, which made the Duke a little confused, and he nodded mechanically and replied, "The demon of the Ghost Sea." A strange group of demons who have not been far from the Exile Island since they appeared, and have not attacked anywhere. Let the already tense world almost forget them. ”

Anne's next words made the Duke almost faint: "That's because Master Liang didn't allow them to leave the Exile Island, and those Hell Army and Demons are our allies. ”
