Chapter 626: Temporary Fleet Commander
Earth-Moon L4 Lagrange point.
Countless carrier ships are in an endless stream, and giant construction manipulators from XCMG move slowly in space, moving prefabricated components to a predetermined position with precision, and then several climbing engineering robots quickly rush along the steel structure to the joint.
These engineering robots are specially designed by Jizhi Technology, they use special electromagnetic drive wheels, which can easily adhere to the steel parts in a weightless state, and at the same time, in order to cooperate with their construction, each construction part of the component is also reserved for a small groove for "labor".
After arriving at the target location, the robots divided their labor, some carried out oxygen-free welding, some changed out of the multi-functional manipulator to start screwing, and some carried out the connection of the line.
It can be said that this military spaceport, which is currently mainly used for docking warships, can be built into a main body that can be put into use in just one year, and these little robots have contributed a lot - this military port is currently capable of docking 20 warships, and it is still adding berths.
Unlike the military port on the ground, the L4 military port currently does not have the function of overhauling the hull of the ship, and can only carry out some simple minor repairs on the ship, such as replacing the battery module, welding a few wires, and working on the computer system. For major repairs, you still have to tow it to the spaceyard.
Of course, as a military port, the most important thing is to provide all kinds of supplies, and as the current mainstream unmanned spaceship, the most important supply is energy and weapons and equipment.
As a result, the L4 military port is also one of the most heavily defended places in the entire galaxy, and almost everyone on it lives and works in an "extremely transparent" environment.
As a result, it's not a good place to work β especially since the current man-made gravity environment only covers living and office areas, not warehouses and docks.
Well, it's just that in these places, human staff are also going to be relatively few.
β¦β¦
Yang Wenzhi clinged to the porthole tightly, looking down at the huge space building in front of him from "above" and "down".
From a distance, it looks like a giant short-handled "nail rake" that sits silently across the L4 Lagrange point.
The reason why it is said to be like a "nail rake" rather than a "comb" is because in addition to the three-kilometer-long docking, there is also a section of warehouse and work area of several hundred meters, which is like a hoe.
Under the lights, eighteen warships were quietly docked in the berths that had been built, in stark contrast to the huge scaffolding and the endless flow of spaceships on the side.
"Good fellow, this isn't an eagle, is it?" Smir also leaned over to watch, and couldn't help but praise at this time: "The eagle is not so big. β
"It's like a ground hawk, and the materials used in the ground shipyard and the space shipyard are different, and the structure has changed." Yang Wenzhi clenched his fists and let out a silent admiration.
He has also fought with aliens, and he has seen a lot of alien civilization materials, not to mention the blue star, there are eye stars, even if they are far away in the constellation Canis, the Krong and Tara people, who have the ability to launch space battles, have not been broken, and have been very NB civilizations thousands of years ago, their industrial capacity is still not worth mentioning under the huge industrial production system of human beings.
To put it mildly, according to the current level of human dumplings, if we really go all out, within five years, we will be able to arm a huge fleet of thousands of "Eagle" class warships.
Of course, the premise is that energy and weapon systems can keep up, especially ultra-long-range weapons such as rice grains.
ββIn this week's post-war summary, the unified understanding of the commanders who participated in the war is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the human technology tree, and the rice grain is the biggest reliance of the human race at present! If rice grains can achieve mass production at the price of cabbage, if the enemy can't come up with more awesome black technology, then only an overwhelming rice grain can sweep the enemy away!
With missiles in hand, where is the use of fighting the main gun?
It's just that everyone knows that the output of rice grains is really limited, so they need to engage in various main artillery tactics.
"Ground Hawk? It seems that it is also unmanned, so which one shall we go on? β
"I don't know, anyway, there are still two Song-class ships in the galaxy, so they should stop here." Yang Wenzhi stared out of the porthole a little greedily, and he wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture...... However, the military order still held back.
At this moment, as the Wenyue they were riding got closer and closer to the airport, there was also a bright light in the distance that quickly approached, and after a while, they saw that this battleship coming from afar was the New Song-class battleship.
Being able to see the battleship docked at the dock with their own eyes was naturally a rare opportunity, so the two stopped talking and looked carefully.
I saw that the new Song-class battleship with the board number S-10 quickly slowed down when it was still thousands of meters away from the dock, and then started the attitude engine, and after a while, it relied on the engine to walk the last distance very accurately and docked accurately on the ship's position.
When it arrived, rectangular "mechanical arms" resembling carriages stretched out from both sides of the ship, clamping it firmly to the ship's position.
"So that's ......" Yang Wenzhi suddenly realized: "It seems that this robotic arm is the landing port." β
"Well, I guess so. I just don't know if there is artificial gravity. β
"You're thinking too much, but you're definitely not."
"Hey, we'll find out when we get off the boat."
As the two chatted, the Moon also stopped precisely on the ship's seat under Aita's automatic control.
When the distance was shortened, Yang Wenzhi realized how big the "mechanical arm" that fixed the ship was - it was indeed comparable to the carriage of a train.
Aita's command rang in his ears.
"Attention all crew members, you are about to enter a gravity-free zone, please check your spacesuit and breathing mask."
"After entering the gravity-free passage, please grasp the handrail, move slowly, and do not run, jump, or touch the inner wall of the gravity-free passage."
Following Aita's prompt, the two quickly checked their equipment before walking to the hatch with their suitcases.
The hatch opened, and when he took a step, Yang Wenzhi felt the gravity magically disappear. He followed Aita's prompt and quickly grabbed the handrail beside him - only then did he realize that the handrail was actually moving forward, and he could easily move forward by holding it.
And according to the display of the mask, there is also air here, and it seems that it is recommended to wear a mask and a spacesuit, mainly just in case.
At the end of the passage, Major General Tao Youliang and Major General Andrei Golashinov of the Taiyue Space Force had been waiting for a long time.
β¦β¦
Three hours later, Yang Wenzhi and the others were called to the operational command room after having lunch in this fortified fortress, which the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison jokingly called the "transparent prison."
"I'm not going to introduce myself." Major General Tao Youliang looked at the twelve commanders in the audience, and the expression on his face was extremely serious: "I won't paint a cake for you - you all know that sooner or later, our space force will board the battleship and go out of the galaxy." β
There was silence in the command room, and all the commanders listened silently.
"For the next month, you'll spend the next month aboard the S10 battleship, and you'll be in space as you sail."
"Over the course of the month, you'll be forming a temporary ship configuration to learn about and familiarize yourself with all the features of the ship β I know you've passed VR training, but training and hands-on training are two different things, and you can't afford to take it lightly."
"At the same time, in addition to familiarizing yourself with the ship's functions, you should not forget your responsibilities and our current state."
"Auriga, there are also eighteen Eagle-class and six New Song-class battleships that are maneuvering with the enemy fleet and looking for fighters."
"And you will take over the command of the six New Song-class warships and form a temporary fleet."
ββ¦β¦ Next, I announce the position of your interim force. β
"Yang Wenzhi."
"Here!" Yang Wenzhi immediately got up, his hands pressed against the seams of his trousers.
"Appoint you as the temporary captain of the S10 battleship, the temporary commander of the S10 exercise fleet, and the former chief of staff of the enemy."
A wave of heat surged in Yang Wenzhi's chest, and he instantly roared: "Yes!" β
"Alan Smir."
"Here!" Smir also got up instantly.
"Appoint you as the temporary fire control and attack commander of the S10 battleship, and the staff officer of the temporary staff meeting of the S10 exercise fleet."
"Zeng Yuanhai, you are appointed as the temporary reconnaissance commander of the S10 battleship and the staff officer of the temporary staff meeting of the S10 exercise fleet."
"Ikalovich, appoint you as the Temporary Fire Control and Defense Command Officer of the S10 Warship, and the Staff Officer of the Temporary Staff Council of the S10 Exercise Fleet......"
"Celtic, appoint you ......"
With the order of General Tao Youliang, everyone realized that the twelve of them just covered the twelve important positions of the entire ship - from captain to fire control to communication to circuit to engine......
And these are all things that a modern space warship commander needs to understand and be familiar with - he doesn't need to know everything, but he definitely can't be a layman who doesn't know anything.
At the end of the meeting, the group of twelve people left the center of the warehouse and entered the S10 battleship through the weightless passage like a train car.
After landing, Yang Wenzhi quickly obtained the permission of the spaceship, and then began to follow the instructions, letting Aita control the spacecraft out of the airport and fly into the vast universe.
Four hours later, all the commanders on board the spacecraft gathered in the main control compartment for the first training seminar of the day.
β¦β¦
Although he was designated as a temporary captain from above, Yang Wenzhi knew that none of the people here were his subordinates - he and Smir had the same positions and status as these brothers except for the higher ranks.
Besides, there is such a thing as military rank, in times of war...... That's really nothing.
Who knows which brother will be able to make a big wave next time, and then directly promote to three levels in a row, and pay homage to the marquis?
Therefore, in the past few hours, he has actually been thinking about what kind of attitude, or "face", he should use to be the temporary captain.
After everyone sat down, seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, Yang Wenzhi coughed lightly: "Comrades, I won't say much else, everyone's instruction manual has already made it obvious, we are mainly familiar with the battleship this time, share our own experience, and carry out exchanges." β
"So, who's going to come first?" Yang Wenzhi looked at Zeng Yuanhai and Smir, both of whom were his friends, and Smir was a roommate and teammate, and the two were in charge of extremely important positions, so they should cooperate with him.
Unexpectedly, the two just smiled at him, and then they didn't take the initiative.
"Then I'll name you?"
When they heard the name call, most of them immediately became a little nervous, and soon someone said: "Captain Yang, as the commander, you should take the lead!" β
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We're all here to learn from the experience."
"Lao Yang, don't shirk!"
Seeing that everyone was squeezing their eyebrows at him, Yang Wenzhi was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Good guy, you are the technical position, okay!" I'm here to learn! β
"The captain is the most important position!"
ββ¦β¦ Okay, then I'll throw a brick at it. Yang Wenzhi glanced down at the tablet - of course, there was no speech on it, but there was a lot of experience in the past few hours today, and there was still a lot of merit under Aita's polishing and expansion.
"I carefully pondered the speeches of several leaders today." Yang Wenzhi glanced at the camera without leaving a trace, probably ...... The meetings of these people will also be uploaded directly to the front of the bigwigs, right?
But...... Whatever!
"Commander-in-Chief Qin said that we will be the future fleet commander......" Yang Wenzhi pursed his lips and exhaled lightly: "From the fact that our six groups of people have directly taken over the Ursa Minor fleet, it can be seen that in the future, it may be standard for six warships to form a strike combination." β
Everyone nodded.
After all, it was proven a week ago that the collective fire of five or six main guns is a configuration with an extremely high hit rate.
Moreover, human warships ...... Despite the fact that there are only about twenty ships in the Auriga, there will be a new batch of warships directly on the battlefield in a month's timeβand even in a steady stream! Eventually, hundreds, hundreds, or more of them will appear on the front lines!
You say, are they, the commanders who have been trained and have enough experience, still like now, two people commanding a warship?
Apparently it can't be!
At the very least, it should be the commander of a standard strike group, or "commander".
"And then, our other identity - former enemy commander."
"I think the above means that we should fully discuss the squad's striking tactics." Yang Wenzhi glanced at everyone as he spoke: "After all, we are still experienced!" β
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, Major Zeng Yuanhai suddenly frowned, and he subconsciously raised his hand to take a look.
In the next second, he shouted the whole thing: "! β
"What's wrong?" Yang Wenzhi was stunned and immediately asked.
"Look, what are the enemy ships doing!"
As Zeng Yuanhai pointed to the desktop, the next moment, he immediately called up the picture jointly generated by the ship in front and the probe.
I saw that the enemy fleet was fleeing in a "panic", and before I knew it, those small functional ships had been lined up in a circle.
At this time, the screen shows that powerful gravitational fluctuations are rising in the center of those functional ships.
