The hardest war in human history is over, but the aftermath is far from gone.

In the battle, most of the 83 warships were damaged, and in the end only more than 20 remained.

After the war, half of the country was destroyed by alien warships, and the losses were unprecedented. Fortunately, although the area covered by the alien cannon was large, the penetration force was not as high as expected, and the people hiding in the bomb shelter were basically unharmed.

Needless to say, outside the bomb shelter, there are very few survivors.

But problems also followed: all the buildings in the scorched earth area were destroyed, the infrastructure was completely lost, the electricity, water supply, communications, transportation, and all the facilities related to people's lives were all destroyed, and the entire scorched earth area lacked food, water and electricity, and even external transportation was completely cut off.

Although Lao Mi had stored a large amount of food and drinking water in the air-raid shelter in advance, in the face of the huge consumption of hundreds of millions of mouths, that reserve was just a drop in the bucket.

Many people tried to save themselves, but they had no idea what they were about to face, and only a few people on the edge of the scorched earth had taken the right direction and managed to get out of danger.

Lao Mi officially launched the rescue as soon as possible, but the rice-style rescue is like that.

In order to save more people from danger, Lao Mi immediately sought support from the international community, and no matter which country or region he came from, as long as he was willing to carry out rescue, he could freely enter the scorched earth area.

At this time, outer space is still a mess, but in the most basic humanitarian spirit, the friends have extended a helping hand to Lao Mi.

Even the old rival Da Mao gave Lao Mi a certain amount of assistance - schadenfreude and celebration are private things, and on the surface they must be expressing deep sympathy.

Well, whether it's for a show or for disgusting old rice, in short, people are making efforts and efforts, and no one can find fault with it.

According to later statistics, the loss of old rice was outrageous, and it would take at least thirty or fifty years to recover.

It is not enough to be reduced to a third-rate country, but I know with my ass that it is impossible to continue to maintain my original status, a new world order is being formed, and the eyes of my friends invariably turn to Yanjing.

Yanjing's losses were not small, a total of 26 warships, 13 were damaged, 7 were heavily damaged, and only two aerospace carriers and four expeditionary class were left intact.

The losses are not uncatastrophic, but these six warships are already the strongest space military force in all mankind, and there is no one!

Fists are not the truth, but at this time, no one dares to ignore the military power that Yanjing possesses.

The friends are soberly aware that the ancient eastern power has not only re-emerged, but also re-ascended to the top of the world and become the de facto leader of Blue Star.

Even if you don't want to, you can't help but admit this fact.

Yanjing is also soberly aware that this battle is just an attack by crushing the aliens, and the aliens who escaped from Jupiter are scattered to the outer reaches of the solar system, and it will not be long before they will make a comeback!

The top priority is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, reorganize the fleet, and prepare for another alien attack.

However, cleaning the battlefield is not so simple, the scope of this battle is very large, there are many fragments, and a large number of battleship wreckage and weapons and equipment are scattered, which can not be completed overnight, and can only save people first and then think about other things.

Yanjing sent all the rescue forces out, and even Luojian Mountain sent a rescue team, including Ou Zhanpeng, to rush into the battlefield in the newly assembled No. 028 battleship. ….

I thought that there would be no survivors, but after the rescue was launched, I found that many people had survived.

The reason is also very simple, the core compartment of the expeditionary series of warships is so large, and there are dozens of members on a battleship, and they are basically concentrated on the bridge during the war, even if the core cabin is destroyed, the bridge can support it for a period of time.

Only when the bridge is destroyed with exactly one shot will there be a situation in which all people will be killed.

Unfortunately, most of the ship's core compartment was battered by aliens, and only a few lucky ones escaped.

But just two days later, the rescue operation was forced to abort because of the asteroid!

The Forward Fleet has pushed them all away, and theoretically, this batch of asteroids will only pass by the Earth, and will not be close

Contact, but nothing is absolute, what if an asteroid can't be thought of, and has to be thrown into the warm embrace of the earth?

The human fleet, which has not yet had time to replenish, sets sail again, ready for the unexpected.

Fortunately, there was no danger, only a few asteroids broke into the battlefield, making the already chaotic wreckage even more chaotic, but regardless of volume or mass, the debris is only a fraction of the asteroid, and it is impossible to change the direction of the asteroid with this level of impact.

Rescue operations continued, but no survivors were found.

After the rescue, it was a long clearing operation, and the personnel involved in the operation found a lot of alien warship wreckage and removed a batch of alien weapons from the wreckage.

This thing is in the same vein as the weapon system on the broken ship, which is powered by wireless power transmission.

Experiments have shown that this weapon is quite a good weapon, with both penetration and thermal damage, but it is not a laser or any other known energy weapon, and the exact mechanism is still to be studied.

For convenience, Gong Yiding gave this thing a less apt name: Thermal Cannon.

As a result, all the friends who got the heat and light cannon were all sent back to the ground as soon as possible, and the top scientific researchers were gathered to study day and night.

It was different when he fell into the ship, and with a wave of his hand, Gong Yiding loaded most of the thermal cannons onto the new battleship.

First, there is more gain, and second, the base knows far more about alien weapons than other small partners, and it is enough to leave two samples, and the others are also idle, so it is better to install them on the battleship to shine.

Aside from weapons, there were few other gains, but countries tried to return the collected alien warship fragments to the ground for detailed research in all directions.

Without high-performance materials, high-performance warships cannot be built.

In addition, countries have also found a lot of giant species and a small number of brain fish on the battlefield!

The successful capture of the aliens made the friends overjoyed and happily sent them back to ...... Well, I wanted to send it back to the ground immediately, but for safety reasons, I finally slowed it down, and only after I made a good isolation measure did I send the aliens back to Earth for research.

Unfortunately, within a few days, the captured giant species died cleanly, and the autopsy found that this thing did not have a few normal organs at all, and it did not look like a creature at all!

When the news was announced, those researchers were quite excited, but they didn't know that Luojian Mountain already knew what the giant species was, and even kept some embryos of the giant species, and if necessary, they could clone a batch of giant species at any time. ….

There's no way, step by step, step by step, the gap is there, if you want to catch up, how can it be so easy?

There were too many debris on the battlefield and it was too messy to be cleaned up for a while, and after the asteroid group passed through, the personnel belonging to Luoshipshan returned to the moon under the orders of their superiors and continued their original work.

On the second day after returning to Luojian Mountain, a brief celebration party was held at the base, with no lights and no sound, and it was during the meal, Gong Yiding suddenly stood in front and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone, I just received the commendation order in person, now is a special period, so we won't hold a celebration party, let's talk a few words!"

As he spoke, the already quiet restaurant could be heard, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

Gong Yiding clicked on the terminal and pulled up a document: "The commendation order is announced below...... Ou Zhanpeng!"

No one was surprised, and the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause, if it were not for discipline, I was afraid that there would be applause and whistles.

Ou Zhanpeng stood up with a smile, Gong Yiding personally changed him into a new military rank, and hung a battle flag medal that had just been made around his neck.

This is the highest military honor awarded only in wartime, and since the establishment of this medal, few people have received it.

"Say a few words." Gong Yiding reminded in a whisper.

The applause exploded again, and Xu Qing shot very hard.

Ou Zhanpeng turned around and saluted, and the applause gradually calmed down.

In front of everyone, Ou Zhanpeng's face changed, and it took a while before he spit out a sentence: "Hey, let me say something

Yes? Don't say it, don't say it!"

"If you don't say anything, hurry down and replace the next one!" Xie Yu shouted loudly.

Ou Zhanpeng didn't say a word, abdicated and gave way.

Which Cheng thought that Gong Yiding's gaze fell directly on Xie Yu: "Come on!"

"Me?" Xie Yu was surprised.

Ou Zhanpeng pushed him directly: "Go up, you!"

Gong Yiding hung a medal on Xie Yu's chest.

It's just a meal, and more than 30 medals were issued in one go, and the applause in the restaurant didn't stop.

There are too many people who have received meritorious service awards this time, and the work of a meal cannot be finished at all, otherwise the stationmaster of Gongda can send another round.

At dinner, Ou Zhanpeng suddenly found that the 3D printer had stopped, and there was a group of people surrounding there, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: What's going on? Something wrong with the machine?

Seeing the excitement is the nature of the melon-eating masses, seeing that Xie Yu was also in the crowd, Ou Zhanpeng immediately came up: "Old Xie, what's wrong?"

Xie Yu shrugged: "The palace station master just received a notice that he said that he had summed up the lessons learned from the above, and he felt that the performance of the expeditionary class was not very good, so he ordered the construction to be stopped, and those in the fleet should also be retired."

"Is this a stop? What about what you don't finish?" Ou Zhanpeng is not too strange, as a transitional warship launched at a special time, the expeditionary class has completed its historical mission, and it is not surprising that it has been retired from active service.

"I guess I can finish this one." Xie Yu said, "I heard that the above is going to sell all the finished ones."

Ou Zhanpeng suddenly realized: "Hey, I thought something was wrong, let's go and eat!"

It was much later that he learned that all the expeditionary classes, including No. 028, had been sold, and only the Swift was retained. ….

The military organized manpower to disassemble the battleship as it was, carefully packed it and sent it back to the ground for reassembly, and parked it at the Interstellar War Memorial on the outskirts of Yanjing.

Its solid smoke hull was strewn with mottled and twisted marks, like a veteran silently pouring out those tragic pasts.

Everything gradually got back on track, and a few days later, a short time later, the draft design of the new warship and the reorganization of the fleet were also sent to the landing hill for the opinion of the base.

Well, mainly technical opinions.

After continuous discussions on the ground and the moon, the new plan was slowly released.

The first thing to finalize was the fighter improvement plan.

Facts have proved that aerospace fighters can still play a great role in space and are an indispensable workhorse of the fleet, so they must be strengthened.

The existing aerospace fighters, which have reached a very high level, do not need to be replaced, but it is hoped that the Falling Ship Mountain will add a shield to the fighters.

As long as the fighter follows the ship, the shield is constantly replenished.

Limited to the size of the fighter, the airborne shield cannot be as large as the battleship shield, and the protection is not so good.

It looks like a chicken rib, but on the battlefield of life and death in an instant, a shot is equivalent to renewing a life for the fighter, which is equivalent to doubling the survival rate of the fighter, why not?

The opinion of the military was that it was better to sacrifice the ammunition load than to add a shield.

Correspondingly, the aerospace carrier also needs to make necessary improvements, adding reactors and wireless power transmission systems to support more fighters.

The redesigned warship will also need to increase the total power of wireless transmission in preparation for the arrival of new fleets.

Next is the highlight of the restructuring plan, the battleship!

The design of the new battleship is very targeted.

Perhaps because the core cabin comes from the design concept of the alien species, which does not perform well in battle, the new design abandons this structure and instead has four smaller enclosed cabins, distributed on the left and right sides of the stern, connected by passages in peacetime and closed passages in wartime, and the entire crew is scattered in several independent airtight compartments.

Even if it is sunk by an enemy ship, it can ensure the safety of the crew to the greatest extent.

The solid smoke hull was also abandoned by the military, this thing has no effect in front of the thermoelectric cannon, but this thing is an excellent anti-radiation material, so it did not give up completely, but used this solid smoke to create an outer cladding for the hull, which is used to resist radiation, delay aging and increase life.

The new warship also adopts the advanced idea of combining warships, to put it simply, it is a core ship with four unmanned warships, which are combined together in peacetime, and it looks like a warship with a strange appearance.

Someone has given this structure a very nice and figurative name: plum blossom five petals!

This design scheme is actually the warship version of the air and space fighter with UAV, which is more mobile and flexible, and the survival rate is higher, as long as there is no problem with the main ship, the auxiliary warships can be swapped at will, and the tactical options are also richer.

To put it mildly, a combined battleship is a small fleet!

In terms of weapons, there are thermo-optical cannons in the distance, plasma cannons in the near range, unmanned warships are equipped with electromagnetic close-in defense guns as standard, and the main ship has one more electromagnetic cannon, and ordinary missiles are no longer prepared, but artillery missiles launched by electromagnetic cannons.

This thing flies much faster than a normal missile, especially in the initial stage, and the difficulty of interception is greatly increased.

The military also had the idea of making mushroom shells, but the space confrontation was often tens of thousands of kilometers away, and the hit rate of unguided weapons was really touching, so in the end it had no choice but to give up.

At this point, the design of the new battleship is completed and it enters the construction stage! .
