Humans are forgetful creatures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It only takes a while to live a happy and peaceful life, and then you will quickly become insensitive, ignoring the appearance and behavior of yourself and your loved ones, and then immediately forget what you have done. Only the effects of events that have caused severe trauma to the soul will linger for a long time and will always be remembered. Even though three or five years have passed, this kind of event still seems to people as if it happened yesterday. Probably fear and hatred are the elixir that strengthens memory.

At the beginning of July 3067, the Feria Army, an invader from the universe, sneaked through the three-star defense line of the cosmic pass of the human world and launched a surprise attack on the largest city on the main planet, the northern capital, where the GDI plenary meeting was being held and the world's military and political dignitaries gathered. The Samsung War Zone made a strategic decision to use strategic weapons to wipe out the invading forces along with the first human city. Eight months have passed since then. In the discussion on the streets and alleys, the content about the northern capital has become less and less, and it is almost extinct. But everyone understands that no one will forget the destruction of the first city in the human world and the Governor of the planet Thunderondo, Major General Huang Er, who proposed the resolution to destroy it-

That's me.

March 6, 3068.

The whole of Samsung – no, the whole human world – should be cheering on this day to be exact. On this day, the inaugural ceremony of the Hyundai-class super-space warship was held at the lunar base. As many as 100,000 engineers and technicians, three-star officers and men, and the escort ship group of the Overmars fleet gathered at the scene. This new type of space warship can be called the pride of the human world, and in terms of the size of the ship, it has not even surpassed it in the previous generation materials in the special 301 Act blockade.

Designed and manufactured by Naito Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Naito Foundation, the Hyundai-class supership is 1,500 meters long, 460 meters wide and 130 meters high. Equipped with 16 sets of antimatter engines, it can theoretically have unlimited endurance; It can carry fifty ghost fighters or auxiliary combat objects of approximate size, and the bow of the ship is equipped with a gamma-ray cannon as the main gun, and the auxiliary cannon and missile silos exist in the form of plug-ins, which can be adjusted and installed at will; The defense is super strong, and in the absence of energy armor deployment, considering the average speed of internal renovation, the outer armor plate can basically be damaged by more than a thousand rounds of Feria fighter shells. If we are on the ghost machine, even if we go up to 200 planes and gnaw around and don't fight back, it will probably take more than a quarter of an hour to gnaw before we can see a slight effect.

In short, in the open airspace battlefield where there is no terrain influence, even if a perverted tactician like Dai Jiangnan and Hongxiang commanded the last detachment (this standard has been upgraded several times recently and is now being reformulated, the standard some time ago was a fleet of about fifty frigates as the main force) to meet it in any way.

Judging from the history of the development of space warships and related supporting engineering in the past 30 years, the design idea of this kind of warship is leapfrog and creative, which can be called a great leap forward after mankind enters the 31st century - however, this may not be accurate, as long as GDI insiders who are a little enthusiastic about military knowledge cannot help but suspect that this is simply a real result of the ignorance of the special 301 Act Management Committee and the direct transformation of the materials of the previous generation of civilization in private.

Because of a yellow speech held by myself at the Yangquan GDI Armaments Conference a year and a half ago, this new-generation warship with great power, magnificent and beautiful shape, and perfect and comfortable internal facilities unfortunately received a series of indecent names. First of all, due to the similar pronunciation of Hyundai and Hentai, coupled with the public misreading caused by my personal character problems, the name Hentai has been widely spread; Later, when I bragged to Hongxiang in the bar, I talked about this giant ship, and gave it nicknames such as "two-headed bird" for its special shape of the split, and it quickly spread everywhere. If it weren't for the Naito Foundation's deep pockets and willingness to spend money on media publicity, I would have to take away the naming rights of the modern ship. Now, although they have succeeded in making it known to everyone that this big guy is called Hyundai Ship, I believe that it will not be long before the nickname I have given will become more widespread and popular than this proper name.

The crowd was boiling and cheering, and Hongxiang and I sat on the rostrum and watched Admiral Overmars. This ship does have epoch-making significance, some time ago the Austrian fleet fought for who would carry out this maiden voyage mission, and finally the admiral made the decision by Guo Yingying. The blind man can also see that the general attaches great importance to Guo Yingying. If this maiden mission is completed perfectly, Guo Yingying's rank of brigadier general will probably be able to jump up one level as a matter of course and be parallel to me. Speaking of which, the Overmars fleet now has four rear admirals and eight commodore generals, not to mention that Nagao Wang Xueping often comes to deal with them every time he is squeezed out by intentional or unintentional words, and even I feel the oppression deeply.

Thinking of this, I turned to Hongxiang and said, "There are really ****** generals here—but I don't know when your colonel will approve it." ”

He didn't listen to it at all, but looked intently at the modern ships that were starting their engines and preparing to take off, his face was full of envy, and he muttered: "Damn, it's cool to have a few of them." ”

Dai Jiangnan's eagle hook nose suddenly appeared in our field of vision, he walked over with a wicked smile all the way, and said triumphantly: "I am scheduled to take over the third ship, and it will be equipped in November." ”

Stimulated by his words, Hongxiang and I both let out a long "ah" scream, causing the surrounding crowd to turn their heads and watch. We hurriedly shrank our heads, and I asked in disbelief: "Aren't you so arrogant, just skip the Omi-class equipment?" ”

Hongxiang looked seriously out of balance in his mentality, and shouted: "Even your small sample is equipped, how many ships are you going to equip?" This is a big guy of 43 billion ships, and one is the annual financial revenue of a moderately wealthy province in the jurisdiction of the Southern Metropolis! Does the little mud stick have that much money? ”

The mud stick is a contemptuous term for the country, and the addition of the word "small" indicates bitter contempt and hatred. Because I danced very happily with the Chinese people before and after the July incident, I have been pulling hatred more recently, and this title is quite marketable and can be heard everywhere. However, Heguo is the big financier and general backstage of the Overmars fleet, so it seems quite uninteresting to mention this nickname on their territory. Hongxiang's custom identity setting is to be an overseas Chinese, in fact, he himself has nothing to do with Huaxia and the country, so he casually learned to use this "mud stick" to call it without any psychological burden.

"Oh, this is the basic plate of the Chinese people, can't you subtract the 'small' word? Be careful of offending them and affecting me, the third ship let others top, and I want to find trouble with you two stupid! Dai Jiangnan complained in a low voice, explaining: "This year's plan is to equip five ships, and the funds are basically solved by the GDI and the private consortium of the United States and the United States, one each of the United States and Europe, and then a loan from the World Bank." I didn't get any money to the south - they said it would take money to restore the ruined transportation network in North China and clean up the pollution, and all the money was left over to Huang Er. The Admiral had a very unpleasant quarrel with them about this. ”

"So, what is the long-term goal of the big mud stick?" Hongxiang interjected and asked.

Dai Jiangnan was already desperate for him, pretending not to hear these and continuing to talk about technical issues: "Within five years, equip the Samsung fleet with about thirty modern ships and wait for the opportunity to attack the Feria region." Of course, the exact scale and timing of the expedition will be determined after further information is obtained. ”

Grandma's, thirty such huge ships! If they have bad intentions and are so scoundrels, they can completely ignore the existence of anti-aircraft firepower, and if they don't fire a single shot, they can directly press down and flatten the important military and political points in the central area of Leilongdo. Hongxiang and I were full of worries because of this, although we still kept bragging with Dai Jiangnan and watching the take-off ceremony of the modern ship, but we couldn't stop playing ghost ideas in our hearts.

Guo Yingying lived up to expectations and successfully flew the first Hyundai-class giant ship, and will go to the middle of the Earth-Moon system to engage in a training battle with Kuibyshev's detachment. The performance of this operation is more significant, I asked Hongxiang, he was not interested, said that it was a big deal to watch the video later, or it would be better to edit. So the two of us drove away in advance, and on the way I asked him: "Tell me about the method of confrontation in the face of modern ships." ”

We are completely on the same page. When I saw such a ferocious weapon, the first thing I thought of was not how to use it to fight Feriya, but I was worried that I would be flattened by my own kind with this kind of thing. Hongxiang has obviously been thinking about it for quite some time. He immediately replied: "Use more modern ships, or warships with the ability to confront them, to fight against them!" But I haven't thought of any such power at the moment. At present, all the cruisers and below battleships in the GDI equipment catalog have to go aside, even strong battleships are not much worse, and there is no obvious advantage in cost. If there are more than 200 times the number of Feria fighters, maybe there will be a head. And the troops must be sufficient, as long as the troops are a little less, the commander's skill is very exquisite. ”

Although he told the truth, I could think of this kind of countermeasure with my intellect, and I didn't need him. Hongxiang saw that I was unhappy, and suddenly said: "Actually, it is mainly a matter of money, and in addition, I gave the people of China the first place and took the initiative in GDI." Otherwise, if everyone can share the spoils and receive money from any of them in North America and Europe, then we still have the possibility of equipping ourselves with this kind of weapon. ”

I glared at him angrily and said, "Don't mention those who don't, do you know how much money Nandu gave us, and how much do we have to spend a month on our daily expenses?" If you don't pull sponsorship elsewhere, a year's surplus will be enough to equip a few Omi-class. But after looking at the performance of the modern class, do you think it is necessary to equip the Omi class? ”

"There's no need, we have to change our strategy." Hongxiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Make every effort to reequip the army, replace it with a mechanized unit with strong air supremacy, and form a counter-deterrent force with scattered strong firepower points." The cost of a modern class is enough to equip three first-class mechanized divisions of the main Mk-3. In the event of a confrontation, with equal input, they were able to move more than 30,000 of our anti-aircraft fire points with one warship. No matter how thick the armor is, it can't withstand that kind of attrition, so they are absolutely reluctant to use such expensive modern ships to fight the army. ”

He said that it might be the only solution, but I feel a little sorry. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "So does the all-out expansion of your fleet that began last year mean that we have taken a detour and wasted time?" ”

Hongxiang shook his head and dismissed my doubts: "If it weren't for the fleet, you wouldn't be qualified to speak in the July Incident, and you can now be regarded as the second star of hope under Overmars. But we are now too far from their strength, and we must first determine the self-preservation forces, and secondly, use surprise forces to make a detour to catch up with the Overmars fleet. If you and I continue to follow his ass, we won't be able to catch up with him in the rest of our lives, and we will use him as cannon fodder. ”

It's rare for Hongxiang and I to discuss one thing so seriously. On the way back, we have been discussing this issue. His opinion is correct, and it is rare that he, a general of the air force, can selflessly propose to slow down the expansion of his army to expand the army, which shows that the prince of Taiyan is different, and the height of his standing is more than that of ordinary people. We chatted so much that we didn't know that the frigate had landed. Han Han, who was preparing to greet him at the airport, waited impatiently, and went directly to the ship to look for it, only to find that the two of us had not finished talking nonsense. She joined in and listened for five minutes, immediately making out what we were saying over and over again, and interjected:

"After talking for a long time, it is not wrong to expand the army, and I have prepared this kind of plan, so I will go back and discuss it. But what do you always say, 'absolutely restrain the strange soldiers of modern ship groups', what is that? That ship can't die from a million-ton nuclear bomb at a distance of two thousand meters, what good plan do you have? ”

Hongxiang proudly cocked Erlang's legs at Han Han, who often criticized his style problems, and only after grinding enough of Han Han's patience did he say his strategic idea:

"Build a relatively inexpensive, super-defensive, and capable mobile space fortress with super-powerful long-range strikes."

Han Han looked at me, didn't get any usable information from my face, closed his eyes and began to think silently. She was influenced by me during her college years, and she read a lot of science fiction books, obviously searching her mind for analogues of those things.

After a long time, she finally opened her eyes suddenly, grabbed me by the collar and asked, "You don't want to build that kind of thing, do you?" ”

I giggled twice and said, "What's there?" Well, it's better to set ambitious goals. You push the rest of the work and calculate how much it costs. In my opinion, it must be a lot cheaper than Ovimas's plan to equip thirty modern ships and auxiliary ships. By the way, you have to include our mineral industry, and if you can use our own resources, you will use your own, otherwise you will make money for others and go crazy. ”

Han Han stared at me for a long time before he sat back and muttered, "I think you're crazy." You only opened your first Internet café on Leilondo two years ago, and because of your exclusive monopoly, you are the only one now. But now that you're going to build a mobile space fortress, don't you think this kind of technological leap is too ridiculous? ”

"It's unreasonable, let's talk about it." I stood up and walked up the gangway, saying as I went, "Do you think that Hongxiang's idea and I are unreasonable, and that it should only exist in science fiction or technology hundreds of years from now?" However, you don't realize the existence of two more irrational things. ”

“what？” Han Han asked in hot pursuit.

"The first one, is our super concept space battleship, the modern class. You have to understand that the development of space warships is time-consuming. The research and development program for modern ships began at least ten years ago, and at that time such a thing could be developed, and the construction of a ship-building platform on the moon base began at the end of six or six years, and the platform and the first ship were built in fifteen months. It is unreasonable that everyone seems to be patronizing and cheering, but they have no idea how much the design, technological level and construction speed of such a thing are so different from our general scientific and technological level. ”

When Hongxiang heard this, he interjected: "Let's not talk about the research and development process, I think the modern level is simply plagiarizing the works of the previous generation." As for the manufacturing process, I suspect that Overmars' shipbuilding has absorbed some of the most important things from the previous generation of technology that was banned by Section 301, such as incremental production technology. The equipment production and recovery speed of the Wuji Army far exceeded that of the Heavenly Realm countries, because they dominated the incremental production technology. ”

Seeing Han Han's dazed expression, he explained: "In other words, we use the same materials to make a very complex machine equipment, and after using that technology, we can immediately increase the production speed by two or three times." If you follow the traditional shipbuilding process, a big guy like the modern class will not be able to come out in three or five years, but it only took them a total of fifteen months including the construction of the manufacturing platform. ”

"It's not fair!" Han Han shouted indignantly: "Why is this forbidden technique only given to them, not given to us? You guys really know, why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier? I wrote some materials to the general and the GDI plenary meeting, and if he didn't give it, I would have to make trouble for him. ”

I smiled a little and said, "It's useless, no one will admit that kind of thing exists." As for the 301 Act Management Committee, which has fattened several heavy industry enterprises in Heguo for decades, do you expect them to treat them fairly? If we get that secret information, they won't turn a blind eye to us like they did with the company and the Ovimas fleet, and they will have to rush over and confiscate all the information and impose a very high penalty! You haven't seen it, but I know of the instance. Every year, people in the Black Cat Forum capsize in the hands of the 301 Act Management Committee, and those people have mysteriously disappeared, and no one tells you that he has been sentenced to a few years or more than ten years. The fact that the subject of the crime that violates Act 301 does not enjoy human rights is a basic principle established when Act 301 was enacted 60 years ago. ”

Han Han was dizzy when he heard this, and said with a flat mouth: "You don't seem to be afraid of heaven and earth, but you have deep scruples about the 301 bill management committee?" I can't even figure out what the hell you're thinking. By the way, let's talk about our most direct question, about that cosmic fortress, didn't you say that the technological content of that is nothing, and there are two more excessive things? One is a modern ship, so what is the other? ”

At this point, we had left the cramped Yanagihara class and came to the wide tarmac. The cool breeze blew through, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed, closing my eyes and enjoying this momentary purity. After enjoying it for about five minutes, Han Han finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Have you sold enough guanzi?" Come on, you asked me to do the budget, and I can't stop delaying people's time here! ”

"Human beings are really animals who are good at getting used to everything and forgetting everything." I said leisurely, "Look, our capable Leilondo administrative second-in-command is not exempt from vulgarity. Please look down at the ground where you and I are standing, what is underneath? What about the intricate geography of the entire Samsung and the three asteroids that are set up just right? Those are all traces left by previous civilizations!"

Han Han was shocked by my words, and stared blankly at his feet, unable to speak. It was rare for me to see her like this, so I laughed out loud and said, "It seems that it is such a devastating idea, even you are surprised." In that case, the fortress should be named 'Gonggong'. I believe it will play an irreplaceable role in turning things around. (To be continued.) )
