Chapter 233: Armament Program
Once the matter has been resolved, the next thing to do is to execute it step by step. Although it is not explicitly stated, the relationship between humans and machines has undoubtedly entered a phase of cold collaboration. This is a secret to the people at the bottom, but to the upper echelons of humanity and the upper echelons of the Matrix, it is a near-public existence.
In fact, after the completion of the low-Earth orbit space station, the top brass of mankind understood that the relationship between the family and the machine was much closer than the so-called ceasefire hostility. It's a joke to be close allies, but to a certain extent the collaboration between the two sides has been going on silently β the end result of this collaboration is the orbital space station around the Earth.
Such a behemoth, its orbital ladder is spread across the main node areas of the earth, most of which are built on the territory of the Matrix Mechanical City. Without the acquiescence and help of the mechanical side, this orbital ladder would not have been able to be built at all.
"Maybe the mechanical side is getting better?" the legend goes.
They really didn't know what the doorway was, but they couldn't help but think about the situation in front of them.
Some people say that this is Yuan Hao using absolute force to force the creator to submit, and some people say that this is because the mechanical side was moved by Yuan Hao's will. Of course, some people say that this is a conspiracy between Yuan Hao and Machine City, the purpose of which is to enslave humans more covertly - this theory is not the mainstream of rumors. In the case that Yuan Hao has such a high prestige and such a good reputation, such a statement is only circulated among a very small number of people.
In today's human society, loving and obeying Yuan Hao is the real mainstream. The people who doubt and deny Yuan Hao are not even one percent.
The general trend is like this, the days are getting better day by day, and those ghosts and charms can only make a slander in their hearts, but they don't even dare to say anything against Yuan Hao.
In short, the current human society is still quite harmonious. The shortage of labor allows everyone to have their place, they have countless things to do, but there are not so many so-called unemployment problems.
Internal harmony, then external problems are not so difficult to solve. In fact, after the relevant decisions were made at the meeting, the rest of the matter basically had little to do with the humans on Earth. That was the centaur who belonged to Yuan Hao's original advance base, and he had always been in charge of things in the universe.
Don't think of things like moving comets too highly. In fact, this kind of thing is simply something that the difficult person will not do, and it will not be difficult.
Yuan Hao himself has never experienced such a thing, nor has his subordinates experienced it, but those people who have come from the cosmic century have really heard of it. In fact, such technology is the basis for building a space colony for the cosmic century.
The beginning of the cosmic century came from the depletion of energy and minerals on Earth. The people of the earth made the decision to migrate to the universe when the resources on the earth were exhausted.
However, immigrating the universe and crafting a large number of inhabitable space colonies itself also requires a lot of resources. However, the resources on Earth are not enough to support the colony development program, and the cost of transporting the materials from Earth to space is staggering.
So after the first three colonies were built, people found that building colonies with the resources of the earth was really quite a luxury.
Faced with high costs, it was decided to exploit the resources of space to develop the colony. One of the most crucial elements was the movement of mineral-rich asteroids to the Earth's sphere - Luna 2, Luna V, Solomon Fortress, Abawaku Fortress, Axis Fortress, etc., were all moved to the Earth sphere during this period.
In fact, the asteroids that were originally moved to the geosphere in the space colony were not only the ones mentioned above, but also some asteroids that were completely shattered due to the exhaustion of the resources of the square. The airspace between their wreckage Yokotan and side2 and side3 became known as the gravel belt.
It can be said that the mineral resource stars moved from the asteroid belt solved the problem of human construction resources in the cosmic century, and the comets transported from the more distant Icoper belt solved the problem of water resources needed by the colonies.
If you hadn't melted the ice on the comet and poured it into the colony moons, would you think the water on the colonies would have been transported from the earth? The colonies have mountains, lakes, and even man-made oceans, and they require a lot of water, and if they are all transported from the earth, the cost of the spacecraft will be too ......
In the era of large-scale construction and development, cost is very important.
Having said all this, the main thing is to explain how to tow asteroids and how to transport comets, which has long been a set of feasible rules and regulations in the cosmic century. It doesn't matter if it's the first time for Yuan Hao and them to do such a thing, as long as he follows such rules and regulations and does things according to the rules, then everything just needs to wait quietly - this is different from the universe century that requires a large number of pioneering immigrants, and when Yuan Hao arrives here, because of the large-scale Terminator-type robots, Yuan Hao can rest assured that he can entrust things to them to do.
Don't think about ending this rebellion, except for a certain part of the guys in human skin licensed by Yuan Hao, the other terminators are not even equipped with learning computers except for the basic logic control core. They are like real tools, and whatever they do needs the support of commands. They can't do anything without orders.
And the people who issued orders to them, apart from Yuan Hao himself, were only the Red Queen and Pingyuan. These two people are Yuan Hao's diehards, and their cores are all in the imprint and the small world of Jinzhou, so it is naturally impossible to betray Yuan Hao.
It can be said that the Terminator or something, like Brad, is the most trusted force in Yuan Hao's hands. Their loyalty to Yuan Hao was much stronger than that of those in Zion.
With such loyal subordinates, Yuan Hao naturally handed over many important things to them to do.
As for the humans of Zion, Yuan Hao said that he wanted to let them go to deep space step by step, and naturally after the third step of the Earth Recovery Plan, he moved some of them to the low-earth orbit space station and guided them to build real space warships.
β...... It has a powerful main gun and mobile suit delivery capabilities, can be used in the atmosphere, and has air supremacy...... This is the power that humanity must grasp. Yuan Hao said to these people who saw the sky of the universe for the first time.
"In the old days, people first said that whoever mastered the sea mastered the world, and later said that whoever mastered the sky mastered the ocean...... Now that you have begun to move towards the sea of stars, you must master the power to control the Celestial Domainβin this cosmic era, whoever controls the universe will control the world. When you come here, you will find that the so-called planet is just a point in the universe. Yuan Hao talked to them eloquently, using new theories to shape their minds and refresh their cognition.
It's a huge project, and it's a head-scratching one. However, Yuan Hao, who already wanted to achieve the corresponding goal, had no choice but to do so. The requirements for the battleship Yuan Hao are very high - not only to be able to have a good battle artillery bombardment ability, but also to have a strong ability to suppress the enemy, and at the same time to be able to ride on the MS.
This is a difficult thing for many people, though. Yuan Hao himself didn't think so.
"I don't limit the tonnage of the battleship too high, as long as you can ensure speed and mobility, the more natural the tonnage, the better, the naval gun uses 356 caliber particle cannons, three three-seaters, two in the front and one in the back. The front can be dry over the msai, and the tail can have a certain containment ability.
A Trojan-like large-caliber MEGA particle cannon system is not required. Because our warships are meant to be scaled, the so-called final word will be achieved by other weapons. In general, the hull of the ship is framed by the original hull of the Federation, and two single-mounted 203 long-diameter 203 electromagnetic guns are installed on the sides of the two sides, which can take into account the attack on the enemy......
However, the real ground suppression is dominated by ground-guided rockets located in the bottom magazine. Yuan Hao said the idea of the battleship he envisioned.
"It's kind of like the idea of an early battleship in the old days, with large-caliber main guns, secondary guns, secondary guns, and submarine bombs...... Such an idea will later be eliminated by full-weight firepower gunboats. The designer who came out of Zion commented.
Regarding Yuan Hao's suggestion, he frowned slightly and raised a corresponding objection: "Why do we put all the functions of the battleship together, why don't we let the battleship divide the labor? Let professional people do professional things?"
"We don't have that many manpower, and we don't have that much time!" Yuan Hao sighed and shook his head gently: "The power is only in your own hands......
According to the agreement we made with the machine, I will hand over the technology for the machine to enter and exit the universe on time...... That appointment was ten years later. Now that most of the time has passed, if we do not quickly assemble a force strong enough to protect ourselves, we will be overtaken by machinery in the days to come. β
Yuan Hao said what he was most worried about.
"So you're going to develop such a battleship, and increase your strength in a short period of time?" Zion's designers somewhat understood. "Yes...... As soon as the first battleship is launched and the relevant tests are carried out, I will produce twenty-four ships in the shortest possible time to form two combat-ready fleets, which is what we will do in the next three years. Yuan Hao looked at him very seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Only when the two fleets are fully equipped with combat effectiveness can we start the plan to develop a long-distance colonial ship group!"
"I understand!" Hearing Yuan Hao say this, the battleship designer, who understood the urgency of the situation, nodded heavily.
He went and quickly gathered his men. Due to the integration of existing technology, and the corresponding warship, the red Pegasus, for reference, the final battleship designer came up with a pretty good design in just half a year.
β...... The total tonnage of the battleship is 68,000 tons, with a three-body integrated design, 380 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 40 meters high. The head and tail are slender, the waist is wide and thick, and the main propeller is placed on both waists and tail. A high-power vector propulsion device is used in the waist, and a high-power plasma thruster is used in the tail section. The battleship nuclear furnace was placed in thick armor under the bridge in the middle of the battleship.
The thickness of the nuclear furnace armor is 400mm, using Gundam Nimes alloy as the armor, the main armor belt of the battleship extends from the bow to the stern, and the key protection technology is adopted, the thickness of the main armor belt is 380mm, and the secondary armor belt is 200~250mm. The main guns of the battleship are three 4-pack 356mm caliber MEGA particle guns, the first two and the last one are located on the upper deck.
As for the 203mm, 80 times the diameter of the electromagnetic secondary gun is equipped with 8 guns, 4 on the left and right side decks, while the other 4 are placed at the bottom of the battleship, with a semi-hidden turret similar to the old DDG-1000. These four turrets are located behind the jack landing gear and can be concealed in normal times, but can be used in unexpected ways when necessary......
In fact, the electromagnetic guns of these four turrets can be used as ground attacks. And where the bottom of the battleship was surrounded by four turrets, I installed 4 universal vertical missile silos of 4*4,16 cells, which can launch guided rockets and missiles for various combat missions.
As for anti-aircraft firepower,...... The battleship is armed with 30 small anti-aircraft missile silos, while at the same time it is armed with 24 1130 close-in defense guns. A powerful barrage can be formed. Facing Yuan Hao, who came to inspect, the battleship designer excitedly introduced.
"What a powerful weapon. So how about the MS's ability to build up?" Yuan Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"Normally, we have four squads in the standby capacity...... If it's an emergency attack, the ability to mount it can be doubled. Said the battleship designer.
"Four squads and twelve machines, this is not bad!" Yuan Hao nodded with satisfaction.
It is not so simple to set up and prepare MS, especially now that MS has just begun to develop, and the related supporting facilities have not yet been completed, all kinds of tools and equipment are not so simple.
If it's just a simple ride on the MS, then even the worst Salamis class in the Federation can do more than ten machines, but what's the use of that?
Just throwing the MS out doesn't take into account recycling at all. It's just that the body and the pilot are consumables. Such a practice can only be so wasted when materials and soldiers are extremely abundant, and Yuan Hao's current situation is not suitable.
For him at the moment, every person, every organism is extremely important. Although it is not said to be extremely elite line, the relative elite is what Yuan Hao needs.
Preparing for war and developing the best warships is the first thing Yuan Hao did after letting mankind enter the universe. For this matter, Yuan Hao did it openly and with great fanfare.
The creator of the mechanical city soon learned of Yuan Hao's actions.
"What are you trying to do here?" With the help of the body of a terminator robot, the creator deposited one of his doppelgangers in it and found Yuan Hao, and asked him about it generously.
Because of the pursuit of the unity of image and personality, the appearance of this creator doppelganger is also an old existence. It looks kind. Of course, this is just the appearance, if his identity is pointed out in front of everyone, I am afraid that no one will think so.
"That's it, don't you see it?" Yuan Hao spread his hand, looking indifferent.
"I know you're producing warships, but why are you producing?" The creator clone stared at Yuan Hao tightly: "Do you still want to continue this war?"
"I don't have that idea yet. I know your background, and I know that in a few decades, we humans will not be able to catch up with you for the time being...... I'm not going to do the mantis arm as a car. The warships were just to balance the forces of the two sides. If you think this is our resistance to you, then you are up to you...... Equality is only possible to a certain extent in the strength of both sides. Our strength is not as good as yours, so we have to make up for this strength!" Yuan Hao said resolutely and clearly. He knew when he was and what to say.
"You ......" The creator clone looked solemn, and was about to get angry, but found that he had no reason to be angry, so he had to pause helplessly and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will do it yourself." β
