"Report, our detachment has arrived at the predetermined area, request instructions!"

"Report to the General Headquarters that our detachment is about to break away from the main force on its own and carry out the construction of the No. 1 military station."

Not seeing the scenery of the outside world, and knowing that it was futile, Zhou Xiaoduan still stared out the window, trying to find the shadow of the command ship.

Since Huaxia Shoufu stepped down, he has been a quality inspection manager of Baiwang Group for so many years.

He also signed up for this war.

However, he is not a professional soldier and has no experience in the army, so he can only do some logistics work, this time in charge of the construction of the No. 1 military station.

Military stations refer to the supply and transfer agencies set up by the army on the rear lines of communication, which are mainly responsible for supplying supplies, receiving the wounded and sick, and entertaining passing troops.

According to their location and mission area, military stations are divided into base military stations and field military stations.

Of course, the space station is different from the traditional military station, which is mainly responsible for resource exploration and mining, establishing spacecraft production lines on the spot, replenishing materials and warships to the front line in real time, and taking into account the exploration of the space environment in the region.

The No. 1 military station is only thirty light years away from Tang Yaoxing, flying at a thousand times the speed of light, and it can fly back in less than three days.

This location is a planetary dense region centered on two red dwarfs, rich in resources and suitable for large-scale production activities.

"Slow down and choose the production location in the shortest time!" Zhou Xiaoduan's two high-speed scientific research ships and eight Type 10 patrol transport ships began to slow down and conduct location search work.

The spacecraft is equipped with general-purpose observation equipment, which can clearly observe high-definition scenes in the range of three light-years against a starless background.

On a planet with a diameter of more than 5,000 kilometers, patrol transport ships unloaded hundreds of millions of industrial robots and began busy construction.

The task of the No. 1 station is to achieve the goal of producing one billion battleships per year within three years and to build a complete line of defense within six years.

This task is very heavy, but Zhou Xiaoduan is still confident that it will be completed, and the production is all unmanned combat spacecraft, and the requirements are not so high, as long as they can be used.

Interstellar warfare, without the difference in technology generation, is the number, just like in World War II, the huge number of T34 finally climbed the fine and small number of tigers and leopards.

"Mr. Wang, Zhou Xiaoduan has already led the team to build the No. 1 military station." Liu Jinlong walked into the command room and said to Wang Dao.

Wang Dao nodded, indicating that he knew, and said, "I hope he can do well." ”

"Well, it should be no problem, the No. 1 military station is so close to the base camp, it is safe, and it is suitable for him, who has never been a soldier." Liu Jinlong grinned.

Wang Dao shook his head and said: "In the space war, how can there be an absolutely safe place, if you are unlucky, and one of the other party's detachments happens to collide, then there is no way." ”

"Hehe, he won't carry it like that." Liu Jinlong didn't care about this.

With Huaxia's scientific and technological strength, the observation and detection of the universe can achieve high-definition imaging within three light years and clear imaging within five light years, with a maximum observation distance of ten light years.

Therefore, the distance between the military stations should not be less than 20 light years, and attention should be paid to avoiding stellar backgrounds, lest the other party find out and be directly hit to the lair, which will be a tragedy.

If the opponent's effective observation distance is twice that of Huaxia, it means that its scientific and technological level is ahead of Huaxia in an all-round way, and there is no need to launch an expedition, just defend directly, and wait for the opponent to fight is the best choice.

"Station 2 is a hundred light years away from Station 1, and it will take twenty days to arrive." Wang Dao sighed.

Because the maximum speed of Ceres, the largest mass, is more than 600 light speeds, and no matter from the perspective of combat effectiveness or economy, it is most appropriate to maintain its cruising speed of 400 light speed.

In addition, the pilot fleet also needs to leave enough reaction distance to conduct pathfinding and reconnaissance, and the entire large fleet will move at a constant speed of four hundred lights.

The time dilation effect is linear, at the speed of 1,000 lights, the fleet flies for two days, and the outside time passes for half a day, and the expansion rate is about 75 percent.

At the speed of 400 light, flying for two days, the outside time is about one day, and the expansion rate is only half.

"Don't worry about this, it's going to be a long time!" Liu Jinlong touched his head and said.

For this guy whose head is already basically stuffed with muscles, these math and science problems are indeed a bit difficult for him.

"The longer the better, so that we can have more and more warships, and one more warship, one more certainty of victory." Wang Dao sighed.

The journey was indeed long, especially since it was not yet possible to determine where the enemy was.

The ship 01108 encountered the other party in the Southern Cross, and it was about 3,000 light years away from Tang Yaoxing in a straight line, and it flew at the speed of 400 lights, which was only three years and nine months.

But fleet flight must not always be a straight line, matter in space exists objectively, no matter how fast you are, all kinds of celestial bodies are there.

If there is a star ahead, will the fleet still be able to crash into it? If you do this, you don't know if the stars are injured or not, and the fleet will definitely hit your head.

Therefore, the route can only be a zigzag curve, and the distance is magnified invisibly I don't know how many times, and it will take at least ten years to fly to the encounter point.

Not to mention, after arriving at the location, you have to search for the opponent, and the encounter point is not necessarily near the opponent's base camp, it can only be said that the probability there is relatively large.

If the four battleships encountered were also scientific research ships that ran out thousands of light-years like ship 01108, then they would have to be found.

Four billion spaceships look like a lot, but when they are scattered into the Milky Way galaxy with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and a central thickness of about 12,000 light-years, it is just a drop in the ocean, and the density is amazingly low.

On the premise of ensuring basic combat strength, the entire fleet can control a spherical space with a diameter of 100 light years if it is evenly dispersed, regardless of the combat formation.

Even the Southern Cross is the smallest constellation in the Milky Way, with a diameter of more than 1,2000 light-years, and it takes a long time to explore.

"Isn't there any news from ship 01108?" Wang Dao asked.

Liu Jinlong pursed his lips and replied, "No, I should still be going around in circles." ”

From the 01108 ship sent back the message, less than three days before the departure of the army, it has been a week now, and his second message has not been received.

Even if it was destroyed, the ship 01108 was supposed to send a message before it was destroyed, which can only be explained by the fact that they took the initiative to communicate silently.

Quantum communication is not omnipotent, after a hundred years of research, Huaxia has three means of shielding quantum communication, no less than ten kinds of interference means, and can also intercept, crack and track quantum signals.

As an evenly matched enemy, you can't take it lightly that the other side can't do this.

Therefore, for the safety of itself and Huaxia, No. 01108 is the best choice to take the initiative to communicate silently.
