According to the plan, all formations of the Black Hole Cygnus X-1 Expeditionary Force fleet included the following units:

space carriers, 10 in number;

logistics support ships, the number of which is 20;

11 deep space resource development fleets, each fleet is equipped with 100 deep space resource development spacecraft;

Phantom Frigate, 10 in number, each fleet battle formation is 125 Phantom frigates;

Mirage reconnaissance ships, 100 units;

There are a total of 3,000 flight units of various functions such as shuttles, carrier ships, engineering maintenance airships, etc. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Yuan Haochen was already under the leadership of Tesla, the person in charge and chief engineer of the first space dock, and flew to the vicinity of the nearest space carrier docked in the space port of the space dock.

After a clever route change, the shuttle slowly approached the giant mothership moored at the edge of the spaceport under the guidance of the intelligent navigation and control system.

The closer you go, the more you marvel at the sheer size of this mothership. It is indeed the largest spaceship ever built by human civilization (not counting the space city).

"The space carrier is like a streamlined, enhanced version of the space city, which combines efficient mobility with the sustainable development of the space city." Chief Engineer Tesla pointed to the space carrier not far away and gave a serious introduction to everyone.

Because the Cygnus X-1 expedition lasted a long time, the round trip could be as long as 1,000 years. Therefore, Yuan Haochen demanded that the scientific and technological development of the entire expeditionary force should not stagnate. And the speed of the space city is too slow to meet the needs of the expedition. So, in the end, the expeditionary force chose the space carrier as the basis for the architecture of the entire fleet.

"With a total length of 8.1 kilometers, the widest point is 2.9 kilometers, and the highest point is 0.8 kilometers, all motherships have a complete central computer intelligent command system, equipped with at least three comprehensive spaceports, and the whole ship is divided into scientific research area, living area, support area, power area, resource storage area, ecological cycle area, and combat module area. Each mothership carries 120,000 people, including 15,000 members of the scientific research team, 20,000 members of the engineering construction team, 35,000 people in the battle formation, and 50,000 people in the logistics team......"

In the giant spaceport area of the space dock, countless engineering spaceships are shuttling back and forth at this moment, material delivery, equipment installation, and module testing are in full swing, and the compact and orderly work scene is presented in front of you.

"Good!" Yuan Haochen nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, the shuttle entered its interior through the space carrier's air port, and Tesla took Yuan Chen and others to take a closer look.

"10 space carriers and 20 logistics support ships have been built, and the rest is some detailed repairs and final inspections." Tesla continued to introduce Yuan Chen, "The construction of the Deep Space Resource Development Fleet and the Phantom Escort Fleet is still in progress. Excuse me, do you want to inspect it? ”

"Is there a finished Phantom frigate?" Yuan Haochen asked.

"Yes, 60% of the Mirage frigates have been built, 750 units."

As the chief engineer of the expeditionary fleet for the loser, Tesla is well aware of the actual progress of each task.

"Okay, let's go take a look at the Phantom frigate."

Yuan Haochen made a decision immediately, because, among all the flying units of the expeditionary fleet, except for the central command ship, only the Phantom frigate adopted ultra-solid defense technology. One of the purposes of Yuan's trip was to inspect the Phantom Frigate, which had been carefully designed and built by tens of thousands of scientific and engineering experts.

"Understood, let's go."

So, a delicate shuttle carried everyone to a giant work platform in another spaceport.

On top of the working platform, hundreds of imposing Mirage frigates are moored in a neat manner.

The shell of the Mirage frigate is extremely streamlined, with almost no edges and corners. The special high-gloss alloy shell reflects the cold light in the universe.

"There are three types of ships in the Phantom Frigate: A, B, and C. Type A is the smallest in size, responsible for fleet raids and pursuits, with a total length of 156 meters and a total of 80 soldiers. Type B ships are modest in size, with a total length of 313 meters, and are also the largest number of each battle formation, and are the main combat ships of the fleet, with a total load of 200 soldiers. Type C is the largest, with a total length of 512 meters, with ultra-long-range attack capabilities, loaded with heavy weapons, including the newly developed ultra-solid-state technology warhead, and can carry 500 soldiers......"

"The hull of each Mirage frigate is made from only three complete pieces of variable super-solid special alloy. When the strong interaction force field inside the battleship is activated, the Phantom Frigate will have super defense and enter the electromagnetic wave stealth state! ”

Tesla and several other military equipment experts proudly introduced Yuan.

"Very well, the defense of the convoy has indeed been greatly improved. Unfortunately, our offensive methods and firepower intensity are still limited by traditional techniques, and there are few major breakthroughs. Yuan Haochen looked at the majestic battleship phalanx in front of him, but said with a little regret.

In fact, whether it is a high-energy laser weapon, a super nuclear bomb, a gamma-ray cannon, a neutron beam cannon, an electromagnetic railgun, or an antimatter warhead or a newly developed warhead with ultra-solid technology, they are all weapons within the scope of throwing specialization.

Close-range mechanical strikes and long-range destructive throws (lasers and high-energy particles are essentially throwing photons and beams of high-energy particles) are the traditional methods of combat that have been used by human civilization since the dawn of time. It's just that after thousands of years of development, the object of throwing has gradually evolved from stone arrows to high-energy particles, photons, or other forms of cannonballs with greater energy.

"The traditional attack method is nothing more than the launch of destructive energy from point A to point B, and perhaps in the face of a truly advanced civilization, these attack methods are like a child's house." Yuan Haochen said with emotion, "So, we still have a long way to go to create a higher-level attack pattern!" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

This is really a very serious problem, just imagine, if in the face of a cosmic civilization with high-end space technology, these attack methods are likely to be completely ineffective. They may be able to create a spatial fault A in front of them, and then trigger a spatial fault B behind human civilization, so that the cannonballs we launch will explode our own chrysanthemums......
