Chapter 339: Out of the Gate

Prior to this, the transport fleet had already sent a second wave of 20 Pterodactyl fighters, of which 8 were manned.

This is the current establishment of a new air-space fighter unit, in which manned fighters and intelligent fighters are paired 1:1 to form tactical squads.

One tactical squadron for every ten tactical squadrons and one tactical squadron for every five tactical squadrons.

During the last 18 days of sailing, Song Yuanting had already completed the formation of an air and space fighter flight group, and another nine teams at the Heavenly Realm Headquarters.

At this time, he directly contacted Dr. Weitmann, the research team of the Kuiper Belt Astronomy Institute, "Doctor, I am Song Yuanting, Minister of Defense, and I want to know if the white spots you are concerned about 3 light years away are used for any changes?" ”

Wittman's voice rang out, "We didn't see any change in the white spots, and we also observed the surrounding starry sky, and there was no change. ”

Song Yuanting thought for a moment and asked, "The boss said that they may be from the Barnard galaxy nearly 6 light years away, can we observe anything there?" ”

"No, the boss asked us to conduct a 24-hour observation, and at present, the six super telescopes here are all aimed in that direction, and there are no new discoveries."

Song Yuanting looked at the star map of the solar system beside him, immediately frowned, and said, "Since you have six super astronomical telescopes there, can you arrange for two to search and observe the trajectory direction of the meteorite Oumuamua before it enters the solar system?" ”

Weitman immediately understood what Song Yuanting meant, and said, "We have also observed before, it is the direction of Lyra, but we have not found any abnormal situation.

Later, after the white spot appeared in the direction of Barnard's system, we turned all six telescopes there to ensure that we could observe it 24 hours a day.

Since you're worried, I can arrange for two telescopes to be turned in the direction of Lyra, but observations in the direction of Barnard's system are not guaranteed to be watched 24 hours a day.

You know, I've got a limited number of people here, so ......."

Song Yuanting nodded and said, "Understood, I will coordinate with Dean Best as soon as possible and strive to send additional manpower to you." ”

"That's great, we've expanded here again, and a hundred more people can live there." Wittman cheered.

In the remote frontier of the solar system, there are so many research topics that can be carried out here, and there are indeed many new discoveries that humans could not see clearly through telescopes in the past.

For example, from the place where the observatory is located, look out 12 astronomical units away, where some scientists have observed that asteroids have become rare, and some even call it the "Kuiper Belt Cliff".

Some Dongying scientists speculate that there should be a large star in the starry sky beyond this, and its huge attraction has caused the asteroids in this area to become sparse.

Now, through the super telescope located here, Wittmann can clearly see the frozen planet the size of Neptune 22 astronomical units away.

Dongying scientists guessed correctly, there is really a ninth planet hidden here.

Previously, Du Qiu did not agree to send many astronomers to the observation station, only agreed to come in rotation.

Now that Song Yuanting has put forward a request to increase manpower, Weitman naturally can't ask for it.

At present, in the Kuiper Belt, Wonder Technology has initially established an observatory base, which can accommodate some scientists to conduct relevant research there.

At the same time, a team of construction robots is also building a defense system on a nearby asteroid, which will become the first line of defense against alien invasions.

Now that the entire magical technology has been fully mobilized, the production lines originally used for the production of civilian consumer products have been turned to the production of space fighters, warships, ground defense weapons, various medical equipment and other war materials.

Production of Pterodactyl fighters has increased to a staggering 30 units per day.

Fortunately, the level of artificial intelligence of Magic Technology is very high, otherwise the fighters produced would not have had time to train pilots to fly.

The 1,500-meter-long frigate, which was urgently designed on the basis of the transport ship, is being built in full swing with a construction period of 30 days.

To be able to have such an amazing speed, it is naturally inseparable from a large number of industrial robots, so the consumer electronics sold to other countries of Bluestar have naturally been affected.

After Song Yuanting saw today's short space battle, he had a new idea in his heart.

After ending the call with Weitman, he dialed the request to speak to Ning Shuangshuang again.

It didn't take long for Ning Shuangshuang's projection to appear in front of him.

"Minister Song, I heard that the meteorite is really an alien battleship? Already destroyed by a Pterodactyl fighter? ”

"Yes, I've ordered the Pterodactyl to collect the wreckage of the alien warship so that we can study what level of technology they are."

Ning Shuangshuang's face was serious, and he said appreciatively: "You are doing this very right. ”

"Minister Ning, after this battle, I have a preliminary judgment that the technological level of this alien civilization should not surpass us too much, which can be inferred from the fact that the Pterodactyl fighter can destroy this battleship."

"So, Pterodactyl fighters can threaten enemy warships?"

Song Yuanting shook his head and said, "It's not so sure yet, after all, this battleship is a little too small no matter how you look at it, maybe it's just an armed exploration spacecraft."

However, the power of its attack weapon also destroyed two of our Pterodactyl fighters, so I would like to make a suggestion to you. ”

"What advice?"

Song Yuanting said: "In view of the fact that the Pterodactyl fighter is easy to destroy, I do not recommend the production of Pterodactyl fighters piloted by human pilots, and the Pterodactyl fighters should all be unmanned, so that there is no need to support the human life support system, and the production speed can be further increased." ”

Ning Shuangshuang thought for a while and said, "I will convene relevant personnel to discuss this suggestion." ”

"Oh, by the way, the speed of the enemy's warship once reached 4,000 kilometers per second, which is faster than our existing aircraft, so scientists need to see if they can further increase the speed of our warships and fighters."

"Your Ministry of Defense will report the relevant process and data of this operation as soon as possible, and I will arrange special discussions and make targeted arrangements as soon as possible."

After Ning Shuangshuang ended the call with Song Yuanting, he wanted to dial through the projection call with Du Qiu, but before his hand was stretched out, he took it back.

Du Qiu has been in the laboratory since talking to her that night, and he hasn't left for 18 days.

All food was delivered by the robot butler, and all external call requests were declined.

Ning Shuangshuang heard Da Liu say that Du Qiu was also in retreat at the beginning, and took everyone to work out the world's most advanced CNC machining center in three months.

At this time, you shouldn't bother him.

However, it was determined that the meteorite was a spaceship of an alien civilization, and it was also equipped with weapons, so it seemed inappropriate to do this kind of news if Du Qiu was not informed.

After thinking about it, Ning Shuangshuang stood up, and she decided to come to the door in person.

It's just that when Ning Shuangshuang came to Du Qiu's laboratory, he saw a completely different scene.

Outside the door of the laboratory, there were two groups of people waiting, one was Dean Hao Jian of the Battleship Design Institute, and the other was Dean Huo Mingchuan of the Energy Research Institute.

When the two deans saw Ning Shuangshuang, they immediately stood up to greet each other.

"Why are you waiting here, isn't Du Qiu in retreat?"

Hao Jian's eyes lit up and said: "The boss is out of the customs, he notified us to come, it is said that there are major topics that we need to start studying immediately, I think the boss should have a clear direction." ”

"Yes, now Chen Guangnan of the Institute of Physics is listening to the teachings inside, and he will definitely get important guidance." Huo Mingchuan shook his head and said.

As the director of the Energy Research Institute, Huo Mingchuan has received key guidance from Du Qiu in the study of nuclear fusion.

For Du Qiu's ability, he admired the five-body throw, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have willingly devoted himself to magical technology.
