Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, the matter of the Estar Federation having other super flagships, he was clear, the 8 super flagships in a mothballed state, of which 2 were the latest model of super flagships, and among the remaining 6 ships, 5 were warships that were successively eliminated after being updated years and decades ago, and the other 1 was even the first super flagship of the Estar Federation that had been decommissioned more than a hundred years ago.

Although these super flagships are in a mothballed state, according to the information they have, they are also in a state of good maintenance and can be put into use on the battlefield.

According to the provisions of the super flagship non-proliferation agreement signed by various countries after the collapse of the Odin God Kingdom, countries or forces below the big power have strict quantitative control over the number of super flagships in active service.

This move is aimed at limiting the arms race between the various forces below the great powers, because the difference in national strength in the interstellar age is really heaven and hell, with superpowers and great powers accounting for 98% of the world's strength, and many other medium-level and small countries or forces accounting for the remaining 2%.

After the fall of Odin's kingdom, after a new round of reshuffle, the territory of the superpower and the great power is vast, and they also have a large number of extraterritorial resource development rights, and the material resources are extremely rich, check and balance each other, and the possibility of a large-scale war is infinitely reduced, while the middle-level countries and small countries are different or have different forces, or territories, or resources, etc., there are different degrees of shortcomings, friction between each other, frequent wars, and contrary to the general tone of world peace.

Therefore, the degree of development of military power is forcibly limited by the forces of superpowers and great powers, which are below the level of them.

The number of super flagships possessed by each country and each force must be finalized after the final discussion of the SNAC expert group based on a comprehensive assessment of their territory, economy, surrounding environment, historical factors, etc.

Led by the four superpowers, they have an astonishing number of super flagships of various types that are enough to sweep all the other countries, not to mention that they also have the current ultimate weapon of the human world, the other side of the strategic starship.

In addition to the four superpowers, there are also twenty-one powerful powers or forces, including two quasi-superpowers, and their number of superflagships is also staggering.

The total number of superflagships of ordinary large countries or non-state forces of equal strength generally fluctuates between 400~600, after all, the annual expenditure of supporting such a large number of troops is not a small amount.

Taking the large country of Tiannan Democracy as an example, a standard army corps is equipped with 5 super flagship standard combat star carriers and 3 dreadnoughts as standard, and ten standard army corps form a standard army group, which contains 50 standard combat star carriers and 30 dreadnoughts, and the leader is the more powerful two all-round support star carriers.

At present, the Tiannan Democratic State has a total of 8 standard group armies and 2 reinforced group armies, and the number of all super flagships in the strengthened group army must rise by about 30%, as for the number of conventional warships included, it is needless to mention, such a terrifying strength is really not comparable to other countries.

However, the strength of the Tiannan democracy has been able to rank among the top five of the 21 major countries.

Therefore, in the only remaining five-S-level base of the Odin God Kingdom located in the artificial wormhole space, there were a total of 15 million combat robots, and 600 flagship-level starships were mothballed, including all kinds of star carriers and dreadnoughts, among the conventional combat starships, at least 3,000 battleships, and there were many starships of various types below the battleships.

It's a pity...... Xiao Cheng's current strength is not yet able to build an extremely complex permanent artificial wormhole space-time gate, because a permanent artificial wormhole space-time gate structure is countless times more complex than an ordinary star gate, but fortunately, he has now successfully invited back Professor Xu Guang, who specializes in this trip, and it is only a matter of time and money to successfully build such a space-time gate.

The difference between a large country and a mid-level country is whether it has a powerful super flagship like an all-round support star carrier that is second only to the other side of the strategic starship.

An army with one all-around support starship is enough to compete with three times the number of comparable super-flagships without all-support starships.

And this kind of all-round support type of star carrier construction technology is not at all comparable to the standard combat type of star carrier, which can almost be said to be an insurmountable gap for middle-level countries without profound scientific and technological background.

The number of super flagships of intermediate countries or forces of equal strength is generally between 80~500, and the number is about 37, and the number of super flagships of some powerful intermediate countries even exceeds that of ordinary big countries, but it is because of an all-round support star carrier that it is blocked from the door of the big country club.

And the mid-level country destroyed by the mysterious Qingtian mercenary is only a middle-level country ranked at the bottom of the strength, but even so, it is enough to show that the strength of this Qingtian mercenary is indeed very strong, and the number of super flagships is at least between 100~200.

There are a total of 73 countries that have reached the level of small countries or forces of equal strength registered in the Interstellar Cooperation Alliance, and they also have super flagships, but they are at least one generation behind the intermediate countries in terms of technology and power, and the number of super flagships owned by a small country or force is generally between 3~50.

And having at least three super flagships is also one of the conditions for joining the Interstellar Partnership Alliance.

Because once it has a super flagship, it is a watershed in military strength, and an army composed of conventional warships has a certain chance of defeating a fleet with a super flagship unless it uses more than five times the military power, and the combat power composed of three super flagships is no longer what the conventional warship fleet can make up for with numbers.

Therefore, having three super flagships will also become a "stepping stone" to join the club of small countries or forces of equal strength, if you don't have three super flagships, then I'm sorry, no matter how strong your regular warship fleet is, how many there are, you will be turned away.

In short, the number of superflagships of middle-level countries and small countries or forces is strictly controlled by the SJC super-flagship non-proliferation agreement.

The super-flagships in active service cannot exceed the upper limit set by SNAW, otherwise they will be subject to severe economic and even military sanctions......
