Chapter 446: Expansion and Upgrading
ps: Thank you for the support of the 2 monthly tickets of Baise Hammer, and thank you for the support of the Supreme Longtian, thank you very much!
If it is said that after the earth civilization completed the layout of the expeditionary fleet, it gradually began to develop the meteorite star sea environment, then after about 30 years of painstaking cultivation, with the return of the earth expeditionary fleet, the earth civilization's pioneering behavior of the meteorite star sea area has also quickly entered a new development climax. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why there is such a change is that after returning to the earth civilization, after returning to the earth civilization, after some renovation and transformation, it was quickly equipped with new crews and sailed into the meteorite star sea, combined with the original completed force system of the meteorite star sea, forming a more powerful, systematic, dynamic and static, point-and-surface combination, enough to support the entire meteorite star sea to develop and secure the armed support force.
With the formal use of such a new strategic armament, in the overall security framework, the security of the meteorite star sea settlement area has suddenly been qualitatively improved, and under this favorable arrangement, the earth civilization has also increased its investment in the development of meteorite star sea migration, so that a new wave of development of the meteorite star sea has naturally formed.
This is not to say that in the previous decades, the earth civilization did not provide security for the meteorite star sea settlement area, on the contrary, as the bridgehead and frontier base for the earth civilization to develop the entire meteorite star sea, and also as a new and strategically valuable resource development base for the entire earth civilization, the earth civilization has always attached great importance to the safety and security of the meteorite star sea settlement area.
It can be said that in the previous decades of exploration activities, the earth civilization has always attached great importance to the security of the new settlement area, biased towards the development of meteorite dense belts, which is to actively avoid contact with other civilizations and reduce the probability of war and accidents.
It can be said that every year, the new sub-light warships, planetary military bases, ultra-long-range radar monitoring networks, microsatellite defense networks, and so on that they have spared no effort in terms of investment! The speed at which military strength has increased can be described as explosive growth!
Even in the investment of faster-than-light warships, the earth civilization is not stingy at all, in the construction tasks of various spaceships, the priority of the warships arranged in the direction of the meteorite star sea can also be said to be extremely high, on average, almost every three or two years, the meteorite star sea can be a new faster-than-light battleship, accumulated for nearly thirty years, and has formed a fleet of more than ten faster-light warships, such a fleet scale, even in the entire earth civilization, there are few fleets that can compare with the beauty。
It's just that the meteorite star sea is too rich, there are several new exploration immigration stars added every year, and the number of new immigrants every year is also hundreds of millions, plus the accumulation of decades, the total population of the immigration area is tens of billions, and the number of newborn babies in the immigration area alone is hundreds of millions every year, so it has caused the current situation of great defense pressure in the immigration area, even though there have been no major accidents for many years, but the security assessment mechanism of the earth's civilization has always had a low score on the security status of the meteorite star sea settlement area, so , in turn, restricts the development and investment of the earth civilization in the direction of the meteorite star sea.
However, this situation, with the return of the expeditionary fleet, was changed almost immediately!
The more than 20 faster-than-light warships of the expeditionary fleet, although in terms of absolute numbers, are only a tiny number in the sequence of faster-than-light ships of the earth's civilization, but if they are placed in the meteorite star sea, they are already twice as powerful as the faster-than-light fleet of the meteorite star sea.
What's more critical is that the super-light warships of the Earth Expeditionary Fleet are the most advanced, powerful, most difficult to manufacture, and most complex super-warships of the earth's civilization, and their combat performance is at least a grade stronger than that of ordinary super-lightspeed warships.
And after the departure of the expeditionary fleet, the earth civilization has never made a similar warship again, for no other reason, because of this most advanced warship, the manufacturing industry is too complex, the production capacity occupied is too great, and the cost performance is relatively low.
It can be said that the fleets stationed in the meteorite star sea now, don't look at their production time later, but in terms of performance, they are actually inferior, and the expeditionary fleet is still the most advanced and powerful warship sequence for that time, although it has been produced for more than 30 years.
The investment of such a new combat force can be imagined to change the security status of the entire Meteorite Star Sea Settlement Area, and it is naturally extremely huge.
You must know that the production difficulty of faster-than-light military warships is extremely high, and the annual production capacity is quite limited, and the entire fleet of 20 faster-than-light warships, even if it is the power of all the earth's civilizations, is the entire production capacity for several years.
However, at this stage of the development of the earth's civilization, the great business is also large, and all aspects need to be invested, even in terms of the production capacity of the faster-than-light spacecraft, it also needs to be distributed according to demand and priority, whether it is in industrial development, people's livelihood layout, commercial development, or military needs, the demand for faster-than-light spacecraft can be said to be unlimited, and the scale of the annual production capacity of conventional low-end superluminal spacecraft of the earth's civilization is not even enough.
The needs of all aspects are so great, if you calculate carefully, the needs of any aspect cannot be ignored, and how can it be easy to devote the power of the whole civilization to one thing, such an investment, even the mobilization force of the earth civilization when it launched an expedition to the Aize Fleet, is carefully considered, and in terms of the production capacity of military warships, it has not been able to occupy half of the total production capacity.
Therefore, there are deep-seated reasons for the inadequacy of the defense system of the Meteorite Star Sea Settlement Area for a long time, and under normal circumstances, if you want to completely change, it will never be completed overnight.
However, the return of the expeditionary fleet and its entry into the Meteorite Star Sea can be said to have changed the security status of the Meteorite Star Sea settlement area overnight.
A mobile combat force with a total scale of 30 superluminal spaceships, combined with the dense defense system of the settlement area, and sub-light speed warships all over the region, such a combat force is not even more than defensive operations, even to strike at the outside world, and already has super combat power!
You know, the scale of the faster-than-light fleet is the easiest thing to change quantitatively and lead to qualitative change, under the condition that your own territory remains unchanged, maybe when you have ten spaceships, let alone travel thousands of miles to fight abroad, even if you are cruising and escorting within your own territory, you can't make up a reasonable defensive front, and the entire fleet is busy patrolling everywhere all year round, but you can't take care of the east and the west, and you may not even be able to defend your own territory.
However, when you have fifteen warships, the situation has changed drastically, although the starry sky is large, with the flight performance of faster-than-light warships, you only need to be centered and still, you can control and defend the security situation within a certain distance, in this case, if the entire fleet wants to carry out combat cruises, the fleets can easily cooperate with each other to form an impermeable safety net, so that foreign enemies do not dare to have the slightest idea of attacking.
And once you have twenty warships, what you need to do at this time is not to be a dog, with the cooperation of the huge sub-light warships within the defense area, you may only need to leave ten battleships, you can defend your own territory well, and then the other ten warships will carry out foreign operations, which can clamp down on the enemy's twenty warships, and even break into the enemy camp and beat the place to the ground!
Now that the earth civilization is located in the territory of the meteorite star sea settlement area, there are thirty faster-than-light warships at once, which is not only limited to defense, not only can it be counterattacked, but it can even arrange a mobile combat fleet at any time to deter and deter other surrounding civilizations, in this way, the security of the immigrant star area of the meteorite star sea area of the earth civilization can be said to have a qualitative breakthrough immediately, and even the previous strategy of deliberately avoiding the area of other civilizations and advancing to the meteorite dense zone can be adjusted。
With a huge fleet in hand, even if there is a conflict with other civilizations at that time, who is afraid of everyone will have to say twice, not to mention the combat power of the earth civilization in the surrounding meteorite star sea, it is far more than the faster-than-light ships of these immigrant star regions.
In the surrounding star fields, the number of faster-than-light warships arranged by the earth civilization in the open and secretly is quite a lot, and those spaceships that were originally used to garrison spaceship trading channels and conduct various intelligence detection can be dispatched at any time to carry out countermeasures and operations when they are really needed.
After all, the earth civilization has been operating in the meteorite star sea for many years, although it is far less than the aboriginal civilization for a long time, but if any aboriginal civilization wants to bully and want to besiege the settlement area of the earth civilization, now just with the combat power of the earth civilization in the meteorite star sea, it is enough for those civilizations that are not long-sighted to taste the power of the earth civilization.
This is not to say that the combat power of the earth civilization in the meteorite star sea has such a majestic scale, it can crisscross the meteorite star sea and treat many civilizations as nothing.
To be honest, the current civilization height of the earth's civilization is already quite high, and the civilization that can be compared to the entire meteorite star sea is only those three overlord-level civilizations far away in the sky.
However, in terms of the accumulation of comprehensive strength of civilization, the current earth civilization is still far behind.
It is true that the earth civilization is capable of producing faster-than-light spaceships, and the annual output of spaceships is now very large, but if you count the number of years that civilization has existed, the gap with other civilizations is quite large.
The meteorite star sea civilization is multiplying, the history can be described as long, there is a random interstellar civilization here, and the civilization process of tens of thousands of years is commonplace, if it is a slightly more powerful civilization, hundreds of thousands of years of time are standard, more powerful, it has to have a history of millions of years, which can be described as an exaggeration.
Under the accumulation of such time, even if you exclude those old spaceships that have been eliminated because of too many years, those slightly more powerful civilizations, and tens of thousands of faster-than-light ships can also be obtained, although they may not be as rich as the earth civilization in terms of professional ship types and varieties, but the number is not much compared to the earth civilization.
Just like the Xize civilization that has collided with the earth civilization, the Xize civilization is the most in the meteorite star sea civilization circle, and it can only be regarded as a third-rate strength, but it is such a civilization, when it encounters the challenge of the earth civilization, it is easy to dispatch seventy or eighty faster-than-light spaceships to participate in the battle, it is conceivable that if the Xize civilization is given more time, it may not be difficult to dispatch hundreds of faster-than-light spaceships to come out!
Such terrifying strength is the subtle embodiment of the unfathomable strength of the Meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle.
This alone can show that there are still a lot of efforts that the earth civilization needs to make if it wants to completely conquer the meteorite star sea civilization circle.
After all, the development time of the earth's civilization is still too short, and stronger power needs to be accumulated for a longer time.
However, in terms of the current environment, the situation is very different.
You must know that the nearby vast star area, that is one of the least developed areas of the meteorite star sea, here is far from the core area of the meteorite star sea civilization, there are tens of thousands of light years away at every turn, are veritable remote mountainous areas, the civilization in this area, if you are recorded in terms of comprehensive strength, I am afraid that the strength level in the meteorite star sea civilization circle has to be ranked to the ninth and tenth gear.
As far as the earth civilization knows, the strength of the interstellar civilizations in the surrounding star regions can be described as more pitiful than the other, most interstellar civilizations can have two or three faster-than-light spaceships is considered good, within a radius of dozens of light-years, the strongest one, according to estimates, the number of faster-than-light spaceships is not more than ten.
In general, compared to the strength of the Earth civilization in the meteorite star sea, the surrounding neighbors are all poor and weak children who are not fully developed!
The external threat of the earth's civilization will only be truly revealed when a large number of interstellar civilizations gather together.
It is under this circumstance that the expansion behavior of the Earth civilization in the meteorite star sea has naturally begun to escalate! )
