48 years in the new federal calendar.

A new type of federal warship entered service.

The internal code of the Federation is X307, a co-worker-class pan-purpose warship.

Thanks to the advantages of the redesign, the Gonggong class, as a second-class warship of the Federation, applied space expansion and space storage technology one step ahead of the Pangu class.

Therefore, the length of each Gonggong-class warship is only 285 meters.

As for weapons, they are much worse than the Pangu class.

After all, although the three-core star-core synchronization system is used, it is still much worse than zero-point energy.

Therefore, in addition to the space shield, the co-worker class is equipped with only one castrated version of the space compression cannon, two space penetration cannons, and three space cutting cannons.

But this is already much stronger than a combined warship.

Of course, when the Gonggong-class began mass production, the new Pangu-class Type II battleship also completed its design and entered the testing stage.

Once mass production of this type of warship begins, it will gradually be used to replace the Pangu-class warships currently in service with the Federation.

The replaced Pangu I warships will be castrated and refitted, with the zero-point energy module removed, some of the ship's weapons removed, and replaced with a three-core star nuclear energy system.

Sent to serve in the Interstellar Waterway Management Department.

In addition, the second batch of battle stars of the Federation has also been built.

Exactly eight!

It will be used for the flagships of the 2nd to 8th Legions of the Pioneer Fleet, the Legions directly under the Headquarters, and the Elven Legion.

As mentioned earlier, the Federation's Battlestars are special, almost each of them is individually designed, in the old Federation era ...

Battlestars are not the same.

The last time, the two sister ships of Kaitian and Kaidi started construction at the same time, in fact, this is the first time in human history that two identical warstars have been built.

Although this is a time-saving exercise, in fact, there is a lot of opposition in the Federation fleet.

After all...

Battlestar has always been synonymous with uniqueness in the hearts of human beings.

Yes, each one is unique.

This is already a sign of the Federation.

Once the label of independence is gone, then in the hearts of the people of the Federation, the Battlestar is no different from a production ship.

Moreover, as a flagship, it does require some particularities.

But for these reasons, is it really necessary to put a lot of effort into it, as the old Federation did, and to redesign each Battlestar?

To be more pragmatic, it is certainly not necessary.

In the end, after some deliberation by the military department, it was decided to adopt one such scheme.

Namely...

The same rough room, different fine decoration.

That is, the framework is the same, the technology is the same, and the equipment inside is the same.

However, as a federal officer who will receive the Battlestar in the future, he can customize the appearance and interior decoration of the Battlestar before it is produced.

In other words, the Battleship Design Department will only provide rough houses for Battlestars in the future.

In this way, all the problems are solved.

Each warship will still have the unique recognition of each commander.

This made the commanders of the legions who were about to have the battle star very excited.

After all, who doesn't want a flagship that is recognizable and full of its own style?

And the commanders of the standard fleet below also vowed in their hearts that they would work harder to become commanders at the level of corps commanders as soon as possible, so as to obtain a battle star of their own.

It can be said that although it is a little more troublesome than the same design, there are still many benefits.

Of course, these legion leaders didn't get their battle stars so quickly, even with the space particle reconstruction technology, but the construction period of each battle star was still as long as ten months.

50 years after the new federal calendar.

After several years of development, the size of the civilization fleet attached to the Federation has been fully restored.

Not only recovered, but also significantly exceeded the scale before the battle of Sextant A.

According to statistics, there are now 4.8 million Combined I warships and 1.8 million Combined II warships in the affiliated civilization mercenary fleet.

However, the passage on the Sextant A side has not been closed.

So, about eighty percent of the troops are deployed over there.

In addition to this, the defense fleet also has 1 Pangea-class legion there, as well as 2 co-worker-class legions.

The importance that the Federation attaches to Sextant A can be seen.

As for the Pioneer Fleet, there are still nine legions, that is, the regular seven legions, plus the legions directly under the headquarters and the elven legions.

However, although the establishment has not changed, the directly subordinate legions, as well as the first and second legions in the regular legions, have completed the redress.

From the Pangu I battleship, it was refurbished with the Pangu II warship, and its strength increased greatly.

According to the plan of the military department, among the remaining six legions, five of the Pangu-class legions will complete all the refitting work within three years.

As for the Elven Arda Legion, it will be later.

Because the Alda II battleship has just completed its design and entered the testing process, if it is mass-produced, it will be the end of next year at the earliest, or even the year after next.

Conference room of the military department.

"Everyone knows that although according to the current progress of the Federation, it is completely possible to launch an offensive against the Jadeite Galaxy Group in advance, so that the Federation can become a sixth-order civilization with multiple galaxy groups."

"However, we will not be able to take this step until the problem of sextant A is solved."

"After all, if the elite fleet leaves, if that civilization attacks again, and the strength and scale of the fleet are stronger than before, the Federation will be very passive."

Mu Zhengfeng said solemnly, while the others also nodded silently.

Indeed, the Federation has been in complete control of the local group for years.

It stands to reason that the expansion of the outer group of galaxies can be carried out twenty or thirty years in advance.

But now...

It's hard to put into words!

According to the information sent back by Liu Tao, there is a terrifying mechanical civilization in Balt of the Jade Constellation Galaxy.

Because, in order to conquer the Jadeite galaxy group, the Federation must send the most powerful pioneer fleet, and even the defense fleet needs to be sent partially.

Follow behind the Pioneer Fleet and secure the territory you have already won.

However, this is tantamount to sending out the strongest combat power of the Federation, even if the Federation's star ring technology has made a breakthrough now, but a single voyage can take a year.

If at this time, that unknown civilization invades from Liu Fengyi's passage again...

The pioneer fleet wanted to rush back, but it was too late.

Therefore, it is a very dangerous thing to go to the Eurasian galaxy group at this moment.

Not to mention this moment, as long as that passage is not resolved, the Federation will not be able to let go of its hands for a long time in the future.

"Commander, is there really no other way?"

"There wasn't before, but now there is, otherwise, this meeting wouldn't have been held today!"

"Really, we have a way to destroy that passage?"

Hearing this, all the federal officers were excited.

A passage that has restrained the expansion strategy of the entire federation, don't be aggrieved.

However...

"Destroy the passage, we still can't do it."

The faces of the people who were still excited just now suddenly sank.

"Don't worry, we can't destroy the passage, but the Central Academy of Sciences has found a way..."

"Block the passage!"
