Chapter 40: The Age of Great Development

On May 25, the first year of the ephemeris, more than three months have passed since the fleet that wiped out the mechanical civilization, and in the brown dwarf galaxy occupied by the original mechanical civilization, various material spaceships shuttled back and forth, a busy scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After the main body of mechanical civilization was eliminated, the fleet entered a busy period of large-scale construction, various space docks were built, and countless mechanical civilization warships, whether complete or broken, were unified and concentrated, and then sown and swallowed vine into a shipload of primitive metal, which was continuously transported to giant industrial ships, manufactured into batches of alloy parts, and then sent to the space dock, turned into a mighty and majestic huge warship.

The reason for this is entirely because the metal craftsmanship of the mechanical civilization is not up to par, and the root of the fleet is not worth it, for example, the battleship armor alloy that the fleet is now producing, these alloys are all fine-tuned by high-level energy, such an alloy itself is more strong and lightweight, and it has a certain resistance to energy attacks itself. And the manufacturing technology of this alloy is completely unpossessed by mechanical civilizations, and the metal of their warships still uses the primitive smelting process, far behind the alloys used by the fleet now. As a last resort, the fleet had no choice but to retrain these warships. Those intact warships, Chen Peilin originally planned to sell them to the civilians of the fleet, after all, the civilians of the fleet have the right to buy fourth-class civilized warships. However, the internal structure of the warships of the mechanical civilization is completely unsuitable for human use, and the difficulty of modification is even greater than the construction of new warships. As a last resort, I had to recover the intact battleships.

The harvest of biocrystals this time is also very amazing, even more than the amount harvested at the Mars base. And they are all energy-rich amethysts. After the battle, the wide decks of all the industrial ships that participated in the battle were covered with a hundred-meter-high crystal forest, which made Chen Peilin have mixed feelings. The good news is that the fleet will not lack civilian resources for a long time in the future, but the worry is that how to harvest so many crystals is still a problem. In order to ensure that the seeds do not spread, these tasks cannot be handed over to others, and finally the problem was solved with the help of Natalie to design a robot that specializes in collecting seed seeds. The robot is very sensitive to seeds, and can quickly collect all the seeds it scans, and even then, it took nearly three days to complete. As for completing the harvest of the biocrystals, it was already a month later. It only took two days to collect crystals at the Martian base.

The resource stock of mechanical civilization is still quite amazing, and Chen Peilin was also shocked when he first came into contact with it. In addition to the resources that have been made into warships, the fleet has also discovered resource storage areas for mechanical civilizations. The pure metal collected inside is neatly placed, and almost all the resources needed by the fifth-level civilization have a large inventory, even the resources needed by the sixth-level civilization are not a few, after all, the mechanical civilization has collected several primitive galaxies, and the resources collected by the fleet in the solar system are simply the slag left over by the Martians! There is simply no comparison. According to Natalie's assessment, these resources could fully increase the current size of the fleet tenfold and have a surplus. Moreover, the fleet can also build five more combat fleets of sixth-level civilizations, a large number of sixth-level civilized industrial ships, agricultural ships, and immigrant ships, as well as a small number of seventh-level civilized small ships, and all fifth-level ships in the current fleet can be completely retired from active service.

After reaching this conclusion, Chen Peilin immediately consulted with the fleet's think tank and made a plan for a comprehensive upgrade of the fleet. In the next two years, it is planned to completely replace the fleet's existing warships, immigration ships, agricultural ships, industrial ships, and other ships with Tier 6 civilization warships. In this way, the overall survivability of the fleet will be maximized. At present, the population size of the fleet cannot go up, and it can only break through qualitatively. In this operation, the reason why the fleet was able to crush the enemy with complete superiority was entirely because the enemy's technological level was too low and his combat ability was too poor, and it was difficult to gain superiority even in huge numbers. But the fleet cannot encounter such a civilization forever. If the next fleet encounters a fifth-level civilization, I'm afraid that with these three fleets, it will only be able to flee for its life. Therefore, the fleet can only maximize the technological level of the warships in order to protect itself. Technology can be parsed slowly, but the warships that survive still have to be built desperately.

The plan decided that in terms of military affairs, for a period of time in the future, the fleet's combat formations will only maintain three standing formations, that is, the first, second, and third fleets. The three fleets will all be equipped with sixth-level civilization warships, and while the three formations are retained, the number of warships will be expanded to a certain extent, so as to make the fleet's firepower more reasonable. Each fleet will be divided into five sub-fleets, each of which will be equipped with two aerospace carriers, ten battleships, twenty heavy cruisers, thirty search light cruisers, fifty destroyers and fifty frigates. In wartime, battleships and heavy cruisers were responsible for long-range firepower delivery, light cruisers and destroyers were responsible for close combat, and frigates were to guard the perimeter of the fleet against enemy attacks on the fleet headquarters. Of course, in the case of their own safety, the frigate can also join the battle ranks of destroyers. As the command center of the fleet, the aircraft carrier is responsible for the docking of small ships, the storage of combat resources, and the production of spare parts, and the carrier-based aircraft is responsible for surprise attacks on the enemy at close range. In this way, although there are still three fleets, each fleet has been expanded several times, and the combat capability has also increased exponentially.

On the civilian side, the fleet will have free access to all Level 4 technologies, though artificial intelligence will be restricted separately. Moreover, a large number of hovercraft and small warship design drawings were also published, so that all enterprises could carry out rapid production. The reason why it is so urgent is because Zhuge Wushuang reminded the fleet that many people have not worked yet and have been living on the fleet's subsidies. Although you can eat and clothe yourself, it is not enough to have other enjoyment. Now the mood of the people is already a little dissatisfied, and it is only because the fleet has been fighting that they have endured. Now that the war is over, it is necessary to consider this question. The opening of civilian technology will enable a large number of enterprises to start production, so that a large number of civilians will be hired by the fleet, and the economy of the fleet will be revitalized. And there is no need to be afraid of enterprises losing their ability to innovate, although now all the products of enterprises are the same, but slowly there will be competition, and after the enterprise digests these scientific and technological information, in order to improve the competitiveness of the product, I believe that a variety of characteristic commodities will appear. For these economic problems, Zhuge Wushuang has always taken over, Chen Peilin felt that it was feasible, so he agreed.

In addition, in order to speed up the progress of the fleet's scientific and technological digestion, the construction of a comprehensive university, which had been decided long ago, was also put on the agenda, and the fleet decided to set aside a special floor on the Earth, Venus, and Mars as the campus of the university. The three migrant ships are currently the most powerful warships of mankind, and the vast majority of the population lives on these three warships.

Some people once proposed to build a large immigration ship to open the academy, but considering that the academy is concentrated with the elite talents of the entire human race, there can be no mistakes, so before the fleet can build a new seventh-level battleship, all the academies are set up on these three battleships. Within the three comprehensive universities, there are different faculties according to different branches of science, and all of them have the right to recruit students separately for the entire fleet. All students can apply for the exam as long as they meet the admission conditions, and the fleet implements free education, before the age of twenty-five, all the contribution points used for survival are issued by the fleet, which can meet the basic living needs of these people, but if you want to get a better life, you have to find a way to earn contribution points.

As soon as the enrollment information of these three comprehensive universities was revealed, it immediately aroused people's enthusiasm, and the applicants almost paralyzed the network, but it was the central intellectual brain that extracted part of the computing power to solve the problem. Among them, the military academy is the most important. Because the fleet's victories in the two wars have made people full of absolute trust in the fleet's armed forces, and in particular, the scene of the combat formations destroying the enemy has made the young people's blood boil, and the people who applied for the fleet command department and the battleship control major were simply overcrowded, and even if many people did not meet the admission requirements at all, the enthusiasm of the people was not lowered, and the recruitment offices of carrier-based aircraft pilots and landing troops were also crowded. If you can't be a carrier-based soldier, you can't even pass the army exam, many people are desperately squeezing into the army, and in the end, many people don't care what they apply for, as long as they can join the army.

Chen Peilin and his family were happy with the people's trust and recognition of the fleet, but they were worried that the fleet would not need so many soldiers for a long time in the future. However, thinking that the environment in which the fleet is located may have a war at any time, therefore, as long as the conditions for joining the army are met, all will be admitted, anyway, most of the industrial production now uses robots, so many people have nothing to do, it is not okay, it is better to join the army, even if it is not on active duty, it is good to be assigned to the reserve, at least when there is a war in the future, there will be no embarrassing phenomenon of having ships and no one in the future.
