"Wow! Is this to play the riot stream, or to prepare the riot space battleship. Fang Yuan's eyes were shining, as if he could already imagine that kind of spectacular scene.

Admiral Rhodes suddenly remembered something and said: "It turns out that this is the meaning of the Dawn-level project that began to be developed in cooperation with the North Bear Military Industry a few months ago. ”

"Cooperate with the Northern Bear Military Industry?" Fang Yuan looked sideways at Admiral Rhodes, a little curious.

"Relying on one country to produce space warships, even if it is fully produced, the speed will not be too fast, and cooperative production can speed up the manufacture of warships." Admiral Rhodes explained.

Fang Yuan understood as soon as he heard this, Mao Xiong's aerospace technology was actually very good.

Cooperative research and development of space battleships is a good direction.

Moreover, if you really want to play the flow of violent troops, and it is still space battleships, then it is obviously not enough to rely on the productivity of a country alone.

Then, let more countries join the manufacture of space warships, gather the strength of all mankind, and promote the transformation of science and technology into combat effectiveness.

Donghai only needs to focus on manufacturing solar furnaces and some core components, and the rest is handed over to countries with strong scientific and technological strength, such as Mao Xiong, with a higher division of labor and cooperation.

In fact, cooperative R&D projects are a very common thing in a market economy.

There are relatively few projects in the research and development of international military cooperation, but they are not impossible.

Among the top-ranked fighters, there are international cooperation research and development.

"Dawning, how's the data?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"I heard that the design is the lower rank of the Shenzhou, which belongs to the space frigate class." Admiral Rhodes told what he had heard.

"Space frigates? That hull should be smaller and faster, right? ”

The space frigates in Fang Yuan's impression are usually small ships in the space fleet, mainly air-to-air, competing for air supremacy while conserving large ships in the escort fleet.

"According to the plans of the Space Fleet, it is." Admiral Rhodes bowed his head.

"When will you see the Aurora-class space frigates?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"It should be soon, your dad should know this. Didn't you call home the other day? Admiral Rhodes asked curiously.

"He didn't say that." Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said again: "And just a three-minute phone call, can you explain this matter clearly?" ”

"Also, the news I heard is that this project has been going on for three or four months, and it must be going well with the mature technology of the Shenzhou to be transferred to a smaller space frigate."

The Huaxia Space Fleet has been participating in the war, and Admiral Rhodes has not had time to understand things in the rear, so these news are heard occasionally.

Fang Yuan looked at Yang Yuping and asked, "The Dawning-class space frigate is also equipped with a solar furnace, right?" The professor should know the inside story, right? ”

Yang Yuping coughed a few times and said: "I know that I know something, the demand for the inner wall materials of the solar furnace by the Academy of Military Sciences has indeed increased greatly, and I have also looked at the technical parameters, there is such a military project." ”

"There are technical parameters, what is the design of the Dawning class?" Fang Yuan's eyes sparkled and asked.

"Judging from the design parameters seen, the ship is 73 meters long, the hull is more slender than the Shenzhou, the volume is only half of the Shenzhou, and the weight is lighter......"

Yang Yuping introduced the technical parameters of the Dawning-class space frigate he saw, and then said: "I just saw a rough design parameter. However, the Academy of Military Sciences has put forward some requirements for solar furnaces. ”

"What requirements?"

"There is a demand for solar furnaces to be more miniaturized."

"How many solar furnaces does an Dawning class have?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"The design is six solar furnaces, and from the theoretical parameters of the design, the speed of the Dawning class is 30% faster than that of Shenzhou." Yang Yuping replied.

The speed is 30% faster, which doesn't sound like much faster, but this is already a very exaggerated improvement on a space battleship.

"So much faster?" Admiral Rhodes didn't expect it to be so much faster.

"The positioning of the Dawning class is a space frigate, and the positioning of the Shenzhou is a space destroyer, which is for sure. However, the reason why it can be so much faster is also because Shenzhou is the first space battleship, and it is groping its way forward......"

Yang Yuping explained slightly: "The Dawning class was developed under the mature technology of the Shenzhou, so the performance is stronger in all aspects. However, the difference in ship types doomed the Dawning class to cooperate with the Shenzhou in battle.

"Moreover, it is almost time for Shenzhou to do structural upgrades, and if it goes well, the performance will be improved in all aspects."

Fang Yuan asked again, "Since the Dawning class is a space frigate, it needs to be a little bit of a force to exert its power, right?" How long do you have to wait for combat power to develop? ”

"It shouldn't take long, the task of building solar furnaces issued by the Academy of Military Sciences is twenty-four in a month." Yang Yuping gave a side answer.

Fang Yuan and Admiral Rhodes listened and their eyes widened again.

"Twenty-four solar furnaces a month, isn't that to assemble four Dawn-class, four a month, this is a dumpling?" Fang Yuan was surprised.

"Actually, it's okay. The two countries cooperate in production, and there is the decentralization of the mature technology of the Shenzhou, and the wartime production capacity is tilted, four ships a month, which is not particularly exaggerated. Yang Yuping said with a smile.

"How many solar furnaces have been completed so far?" Fang Yuan was curious to know when he would see the Dawn class join the battle.

"Last month, the first batch of Dawning-class adapted solar furnaces were delivered, and I think it's coming soon." Yang Yuping replied.

……

After Admiral Rhodes returned to the Crater Front Headquarters, he had a small meeting, and then received an order from the Tokai Headquarters to transfer personnel.

The crew of the Shenzhou and Chixian were all commended, and then half of the crew members were transferred back to the East China Sea.

The moment he saw this personnel transfer, Admiral Rhodes knew that the Dawning class was coming.

Last time, when the Chixian participated in the war, half of the Shenzhou crew was also transferred.

Now, the Shenzhou and Chixian have personnel orders at the same time, which is obviously transferred back to drive the Dawning-class space frigate.

The headquarters of the Space Fleet in the East China Sea has been training the crews of space warships.

However, training alone cannot be compared with actual combat.

In terms of actual combat experience, the crews of Shenzhou and Chixian have gone through actual combat, and each of them is a treasure.

The crews of the Shenzhou and Chixian were transferred back, and the new and old crews were matched to quickly improve the combat effectiveness, and at the same time to train more space-battle-tested crews to accumulate talents for the future space fleet.

The captain of the Shenzhou was also transferred back and promoted to vice admiral and served as the chief instructor of the Huaxia Space Fleet.

Therefore, the position of the captain of the Shenzhou became vacant.

The Shenzhou has always been a special ship for the military scientific research class, and according to the original plan, the Shenzhou will slowly be handed over to the military scientific research class.

It's just that the military scientific research class is too young, and it needs an experienced old captain to take it.

That's why the headquarters will transfer Yu Hongsheng to serve as the captain of the Shenzhou.
