When everyone heard this, they all realized the crux of the problem.

The difference between human beings and Atlanteans is only more than double in height, but the weight is more than double, and the space that Atlanteans need in their daily lives is not simply to magnify the needs of humans!

Take the Sky Harrier-class battleship that has been retired from active service as an example, the length of this kind of warship is equivalent to 60 percent of the Skyhawk class, but in the case of appearance, both the total volume and the internal space have shrunk more than doubled, even if the weapons installed on the ship are the same model, the combat effectiveness of the two Sky Harrier-class together cannot catch up with one Skyhawk-class.

Not to mention endurance and self-sufficiency, if the Sky Harrier-class had a endurance of thousands of light-years, the original deep space plan would not only send Skyhawk-class warships to carry out.

In the same way, the tallness of the Atlanteans led to a decrease in the utilization rate of the internal space of the battleship, and in the eyes of humans, the actual space inside the triangular battleship with a similar length to the God of War class is actually far from being as large as human imagination, not to mention that the shape of the triangular pyramid battleship itself is less than that of the cuboid.

Simply enlarging the length of a ship can expand the volume inside while maintaining the same shape, but the expansion of volume will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in mass, which will affect power and other aspects, and it is better to redesign a new ship.

However, from the beginning of the design to the final service of a new type of warship, it must go through a series of demonstration processes, which can take as little as three or five years or as many as more than ten years, during which the manufacture of prototypes for verification in all aspects is an important step that cannot be omitted.

A battleship is a weapon platform to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, omitting the steps of design and finalization. It is likely that the design error will lead to the catastrophic consequences of the ship's destruction and death,

It's just that the loss of a few warships is nothing, and if the battle is lost due to a design error, it is not just a matter of losses.

In addition, a small modification of the existing mature design can also save a lot of labor and construction costs, and speed up the speed of the army!

This is also the reason why humanity has followed the mature design of the Aquila-class on the God of War class, instead of redesigning a new warship that is more ornate and more innovative.

The giant ships of the expeditionary force that were hurriedly mounted during the Outer Bone War exposed a lot of problems in use. directly gave birth to the birth of the Aquila class.

The Atlanteans were based on the triangular battleship for various types of modifications, and it is believed that it was for the same reason. Otherwise, it would be impossible for either the force field battleship or the lotus peng battleship to equip the fleet in such a short period of time.

More than two hours later, the main force of the fleet and the Taihang rushed back to Midway Star four and a half minutes apart, and the 60 Ares class ships of the two main fleets and the 120 shock carriers of the four shock carrier clusters that had been assembled ahead of schedule were all in place.

The commanders of the six fleets immediately reported to Ye Fei. Accept Ye Fei's unified command.

In terms of the current establishment of the military of the republic. The establishment of the main fleet is equivalent to the corps-level units of the past. Most of the commanders are major generals, and a few are lieutenant generals. The shock carrier cluster is equivalent to a divisional unit, and the commander is basically a colonel.

In terms of preparation. The two main fleets are of the same level as the forward fleet, and both fleets are the elite of the expeditionary force, and the commander is a lieutenant general of the same rank as Ye Fei.

However, there must be a unified command in any battlefield, and even if everyone's military ranks and positions are completely equal, it is necessary to divide one, two, and three into one, two, and three, so as to avoid the taboo of multiple commands.

The reason why Ye Fei commanded was that first, it came from the direct appointment of the Ministry of National Defense, and second, Ye Fei was not only familiar with the situation of Midway, but also the senior commander of the military who had the most dealings with the Atlanteans, and had the most experience in actual combat.

Time was pressing, Ye Fei didn't have time to be polite at all, and after taking over the command of the support fleet, he immediately began to prepare for the battle.

The four warships of the forward fleet that had originally remained in Midway were transferred out of the system to join the main force, and the thirty warships were blocked at the exit of the reef passage to the Atlantis side, and the levitating shields of each ship were in place in advance, ready to open their light shields at any time.

The passage near Midway is not a narrow pass, the cross-loading area of the passage is very large, and it is impossible for thirty warships to block the passage. Therefore, Ye Fei transferred eighteen teleportation ships over and waited behind the advancing fleet, once the enemy broke through the interception of the advancing fleet, the teleporter needed to open the portal and go up - the corresponding teleportation ship on the base star side had already received a notification and was flying towards the giant planet.

The two supporting main fleets were divided into four groups in groups of fifteen ships, scattered up and down the front and left and right of the advancing fleet, protecting the flanks of the fleet.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Atlanteans, the support fleet was kept at a certain distance from the advancing fleet, just a little beyond the edge of the passage, to ensure that it would not be directly attacked by the Atlanteans until the forward fleet was defeated.

After all, these two fleets are not yet equipped with light shields, and the risk of directly facing the Atlanteans is too high.

The 120 shock carriers of the four shock clusters are arranged inside the galaxy - 720 power shock ships are indeed a fairly formidable force, but the power shock ships need enough room for maneuver, and the narrow passage is obviously not suitable for the impact mother ship cluster to exert its power.

If it is necessary to dispatch shock ships, 360 of the 90 warships of the three main fleets can be scraped together, which is equivalent to the strength of two shock carrier groups, which is enough to cope with the shock mother ship group from the interior of the galaxy to the battlefield.

One of the most important preparations is to arrange reconnaissance ships and early warning satellites, within a distance of about ten light seconds from the exit of the receiving channel, all the safe spaces are arranged with reconnaissance ships, and a large number of early warning satellites painted in gold and look like fragments of the Atlantis battleship are placed on the edge of the channel.

It is very rare for an asteroid to appear in a place like the reef passage, and disguised early warning satellites as asteroids in the past is likely to arouse the suspicion of the enemy before the war.

There is no such problem with the fragmentation of the Atlantean battleship, after all, the Atlanteans have just lost more than a thousand battleships in Midway not long ago, and it is normal to encounter battleship fragments.

Fourteen hours later, the belated Atlantis fleet finally appeared in the sight of the reconnaissance ship, and the news was sent back to the Kunlun, Ye Fei glanced at the time displayed on his personal terminal and said: "Write it down, at 15:38 on October 19, 2218, the Atlantis fleet entered the reconnaissance range of our army, and the whole army is ready to fight!" (To be continued......)

PS: The recent chapters are all written around the battle for the Midway Galaxy, and the most important resource in this place is Super Alloy, so I haven't changed the chapter name, since the book friend proposed it, let's change it.
