544. Retreat ...... Retire?
Saratoga and his party got important news that there was nothing to visit on Space Island.
They still wanted to go to the mainland of the Mufeng Headquarters as soon as possible so that they could get more and more comprehensive information.
Therefore, the USN delegation did not stop at the space island, and said goodbye to Kunlun in the afternoon of the same day, and left the space island on an ocean carrier and headed for Xingang.
After leaving the Space Island dock, several key representatives such as Saratoga, Missouri, and Hancock got together to summarize what they know so far.
Saratoga spoke first:
"According to my observations, the performance of the other side's Silver Fox fighter is a notch better than our Cougar as a whole, but this gap is not an absolute gap, and it is not impossible to make up for it with technology.
"In fact, there is no need to make up for it, because the F8U carrier-based aircraft we are testing, which can reach a maximum speed of Mach 1.7, and has installed an air search and fire control radar and an infrared scanner.
"F8U with the soon-to-be-developed Sidewinder air-to-air missile, can absolutely crush their current Silver Fox fighter, even if their next-generation aircraft comes out, at most it is on par with F8U.
"But our specialized, search for early warning aircraft research and development, we must speed up, TBM-3W can not continue to make do with this kind of thing, if there is no stronger early warning aircraft, on the battlefield will still suffer."
After Saratoga finished speaking, the representatives around him nodded their heads, and everyone watched the live broadcast at that time.
Saratoga lost on the AWACS aircraft at that time, and was passively beaten the whole time.
Hancock of the Essex family raised an eyebrow:
"Sarah, when you talk about AWACS, I suddenly think of something, we are planning AWACS aircraft, I have learned about it.
"Technicians tried to fit a larger radar antenna on the back of a twin-engine turboprop aircraft.
"However, in our battle today, the Lexington AWACS aircraft, as well as the opponent's twin-engine propeller reconnaissance aircraft reported by Otilia last time, also have no antennas on them.
"Does that mean we're going in the wrong direction? Should we ask designers to change their thinking? ”
Saratoga frowned and thought for a moment:
"There is no doubt that the AWACS aircraft of the other side are much stronger than ours, but it is also impossible for them to tell us why their AWACS aircraft do not have large antennas.
"Whether our design is going the wrong way is uncertain.
"Well, let's take as much detail as possible and give it to the designers as detailed as possible, but without emotion, for them to judge as professionals."
Hancock nodded slowly:
"That's all I can do......"
Here Missouri let out a sigh and continued:
"And then I think, the other, most important discovery, should be their amazing silver-white multi-legged machine, what did everyone think of about this kind of machine?"
Helena tentatively spoke:
"I think this discovery should correspond to another discovery, this space island, obviously a rapid construction site, but there are no ordinary workers here......
"All the basic work is done by almost directing these machines, that is, these machines are replacing the functions of most humans and a small number of low-level ships......"
The other delegates listened to Missouri's words and subconsciously whispered.
Colorado frowned and said:
"That is to say, their headquarters, in fact, does not need to shelter human beings, they can develop on their own, and they don't even need logistics, and almost all of them are combatants......"
Saratoga opened her mouth, and there was a word she wanted to say but didn't say.
Hancock subconsciously muttered:
"If you have a machine like theirs, you can indeed break away from humans and develop your own ......."
Colorado nodded very seriously and said:
"Human beings are born with inferiority and can't be changed at all, and those two guys in Bald are really too greedy to sign with Lexington today."
Missouri spread his hands:
"But if we want to maintain the current level of industry and continue to move forward, we must control enough population, and the population of the ship is obviously not enough, so we still have to continue to rely on humans."
Saratoga sensed that the meeting was about to transform into a meeting for the critique of human inferiority, and coughed heavily:
"Okay, okay, this topic has no results, stop here, our task is to collect information, everyone will record these situations, and leave them to the senators to judge."
The surrounding elders sighed and nodded.
After confirming the idea, Saratoga and Hancock worked together to sort out reports related to aircraft carriers and aircraft, and Missouri and Helena took the lead in sorting out other discoveries, including applying for the construction of machines.
The other side.
After Lexington said goodbye to Saratoga and his party, his mood was a little low.
Mainly because I blamed myself for being too conservative at the time and not starting the offensive early, giving Saratoga a chance to get more news.
Lexington looked up at the sea at sunset, then turned to look at the space base under construction.
The construction work was carried out as usual, and no one took the USN envoys who had just left to heart.
Lexington left the docks and walked all the way to the construction site of the rocket launch rack, where he found Mu Feng, who was directing the construction of the machine.
Lexington walked up to Mu Feng, lowered his head and said:
"Commander, I'm sorry."
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment:
"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Lexington shook his head:
"It's not uncomfortable, it just feels like I've done something wrong, I shouldn't have practiced with Saratoga, I still have too little life experience, and I fell for her......"
Mu Feng laughed when he heard this:
"What do you think, this kind of thing is normal, how can we not let others see the plane we are using? You can't hide it if you want to.
"Besides, the aircraft carriers of our headquarters should almost be fully upgraded, and the silver fox should almost be decommissioned."
Lexingxing was stunned when he heard this:
"What did you say, Commander? Silver fox...... Withdraw...... Retire? ”
Mu Feng smiled and nodded as a matter of course:
"Yes, based on the current international situation, in order to maintain the relative leading position of our command's combat effectiveness, in the near future, the aircraft carriers of the command will be replaced with new aircraft one after another.
"The radar and missile systems of other types of ships will also be comprehensively upgraded, and the new aircraft has been developed, I can give it to you in advance, but you don't need to use it for the time being."
Mu Feng said, set a fixed task for the construction robot, pulled Lexington, who had not yet reacted, and asked her to sit down on the stone beside him, and change her equipment.
