Han Yang has actually been thinking about this matter.
There is indeed a need for a mechanism like joint military exercises, and Han Yang has no objection to this. However, the joint military exercise will limit the number of warships participating in each civilization, and the current technological level of human civilization is at the bottom of the Yuanshan Alliance.
Without the numerical advantage, even participating in military exercises would be humiliating oneself. Han Yang had excused himself before.
But this time, after hundreds of years of all-out development, human civilization has made great progress in all aspects, and it has some confidence to participate in joint military exercises.
The location of the joint military exercise is fixed, and it is held in a galaxy called Pollux.
This galaxy is roughly located in the center of the four major civilizations of the Yuanshan Alliance, and is roughly the same distance from each civilization, between 30 and 35 light years.
At the current fleet speed of human civilization, it would take almost 80 years to sail here alone. Obviously, we will not be able to catch up with this joint military exercise, but if you want to catch up with the next one, you should prepare to go now.
After comprehensively thinking about the current level of technological development and specific military transformation and application, Han Yang agreed.
"Okay. Our human civilization will participate in the next military exercise."
In front of them, the civilized ambassadors, each sitting in a glass cubicle, looked at each other and seemed to be relieved at the same time.
Han Yang was a little confused: "Whether we humans participate seems to be very important to you?"
The ambassador of Yuanshan Civilization is Li Qino, the leader of the Yuanshan Observation Group who was in the Eta galaxy, and he is an old acquaintance with Han Yang.
Seeing Han Yang agree at this moment, Li Qino immediately became enthusiastic: "Dear Head of State Han Liang, the mechanism of the joint military exercise is as follows: Because of the long distance, the cost of carrying enough supplies for the participating fleets is extremely high, and the subjects of the joint military exercise are Due to the large number of resources and the huge consumption of materials, the alliance stipulates that each member civilization builds a logistics base in the Pollux system, obtains supplies from the mainland, and supplies the participating fleets.
In order to encourage the development of science and technology and promote the improvement of combat power, there are regulations regarding the distribution of material supply:
After the exercise, the civilization with the highest comprehensive score will bear the smallest share of material supplies, and the civilization with the lowest comprehensive score will bear the largest share of material supplies as a slight punishment.
When there was the Eta civilization before, the distribution of material shares was like this: the first place was 5%, then 15%, 25%, and the last place was 55%.
Now that there is no Eta civilization, the distribution share of materials is 20%, 25%, and 55%.
Now that your human civilization has decided to participate in the military exercise, and the participating civilizations have been raised to four again, then, in my opinion, the distribution of material supply shares can still return to the previous mechanism. "
Han Yang suddenly realized this and was a little bit dumbfounded.
It turns out you were waiting for me here.
The number of participating fleets is limited to 1,000 warships per fleet, so the total number is 4,000. Including logistics spacecraft, etc., the total number of battleships is estimated to be five to six thousand.
This is a quite large fleet. To supply such a fleet with supplies requires a lot of manpower and engineering power.
Once the exercise results are at the bottom and assumes the largest share of material supplies, it is obvious that it will need to send the largest number of engineers and workers, and provide the corresponding mechanical equipment to the distant Castor and work there for a long time.
This is not a big burden for a civilization.
No wonder these guys are so enthusiastic about inviting human civilization to participate in military exercises. This is entirely due to the incompetence of human civilization in terms of technology and combat capabilities, so we decided to leave the most arduous tasks to humans so that we could save civilization resources.
Once the human fleet participates in the exercise, the share of the remaining three civilizations will immediately be greatly reduced.
There is not much to say about the key aspects of human civilization. You are not good at technology and your performance in the exercises is at the bottom. Who can you blame?
Seeing Han Liang's silence, Ambassador Fix seemed a little nervous, and immediately said: "Dear Head of State Han Liang, the Yuanshan Alliance joint military exercise is of extremely important significance. It can not only promote scientific and technological and military exchanges among civilizations, but also enhance Combat power is also important for maintaining peace and stability in the Yuanshan Star Territory..."
"We as human civilization will participate."
Han Yang interrupted without waiting for him to finish: "If we are at the bottom, we will be responsible for shouldering the heaviest material supply task."
Li Qino and other three ambassadors were immediately overjoyed: "Human civilization is a great civilization with a glorious tradition and a glorious history. Even if the performance is not good for a while, it will definitely learn from shame and be brave, and the performance will soon improve. We wish Human civilization can achieve good results in joint military exercises."
Han Yang smiled helplessly in his heart.
You guys have already said it, what else do I have to say.
Let’s start planning.
When this news was announced to the society, the entire human civilization immediately became excited.
Countless people are excited and looking forward to it, hoping that the human fleet will come back with good results and show off to civilization. As a result, the pressure immediately spread to the scientific community, the military industry and the military.
The top leaders of these three fields immediately took action, began to comprehensively take stock of the scientific and technological progress of more than a hundred years, and began to design the latest warships.
You don’t know if you don’t take stock, but you will be shocked if you take stock.
Previously, we only knew that human civilization and science and technology were developing rapidly, but because there were no external threats for the time being, there was no large-scale transformation into military industry. Now when we take stock, we immediately find that almost all technologies related to the military industry have extremely significant breakthroughs.
In terms of electromagnetic guns, a certain research institute has made a major breakthrough in the stability of electronic control. It claims to be able to fire 10,000 rounds of high-speed electromagnetic guns without the temperature increase of key components exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, which is extremely astonishing.
In terms of armor, breakthroughs in multi-layer composite armor technology and materials technology are claimed to be able to create armor that can withstand large-scale high-speed electromagnetic gun projectiles head-on.
In terms of precision radar, it is claimed that it can not miss even a grain of interstellar dust. In terms of thrusters, just three years ago, the new high-power ion thruster passed the acceptance inspection and could achieve a 26% increase in thrust while saving 10% of working fluid and 22% of energy supply.
In addition, there are a lot of breakthroughs in hull structure, stability, rapid repair capabilities, long-range detection radar, nuclear fusion, heat dissipation, etc.
Han Yang was filled with relief.
The huge investment in scientific research for hundreds of years has finally not been wasted.
So under Han Yang's leadership, the design work of the new warship began immediately. It took only one year to complete the design and finalization, and truly entered the manufacturing stage.
Pollux is too far away. To get there before the military exercise begins, the fleet must set off within ten years.
It was not easy to complete the warship manufacturing work in ten years.
However, the entire civilization has shown great enthusiasm for this. People seem to regard this as a way to enhance the status of civilization, enhance their sense of pride and achievement in peaceful times, and have exploded with work efficiency far beyond ordinary times. .
With the participation of Han Yang's huge computing power, this efficiency has reached an unimaginable level.
Four years later, the first new Stardust-class battleship was completed, testing began, and minor adjustments were made.
Five years later, the first Nebula-class battleship was completed. Another year later, the new asteroid-class battleship was completed.
At this time, the Stardust-class battleship has been finalized, and after adjusting some details, large-scale manufacturing has truly begun.
In the ninth year, a drill fleet consisting entirely of new warships, with a total of 4 Asteroid-class warships, 50 Nebula-class warships, 946 Stardust-class warships, and a total of 1,000 warships was completed and delivered to military.
In the past few years, the military has adopted a method of selecting the best from the best, and mobilized a total of 160,000 outstanding soldiers from the fleet to conduct special training specifically for the interstellar environment and exercise subjects of Pollux.
After several years of hard training, fully half of the people were eliminated, and finally only 80,000 people remained to become the controllers of this new fleet.
These 80,000 people immediately became heroic figures that attracted the attention of the entire civilization. Some grassroots local governments heard that someone in their jurisdiction had been selected for the military exercise, and even the chief officials personally went to the soldier's home to express condolences and encouragement.
Those who lost the election were devastated and devastated. But there was no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.
When the fleet set off for the Pollux system, Han Liang, the head of human civilization, personally came forward and came to the Earth's space base to support the soldiers.
This scene was also sent to everyone paying attention through ubiquitous camera equipment, pushing emotions to the highest climax.
The soldiers were full of confidence one by one and lined up into the space carrier.
The space carrier set off and sailed into the vast space.
Even in space, the soldiers will not enter hibernation, but will continue to conduct high-density and high-intensity training.
After all, time is too tight. There is no time to start training on the use of new battleships and new equipment in the solar system, so we can only make up for it in space.
As the fleet set off, the entire human civilization did not relax, but began to carry out technological research and development and military-industrial transformation work more efficiently.
After all, 50 years later, the second participating fleet will set off.
Even Han Yang felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He had to admit that this mechanism was indeed of great significance in promoting the advancement of civilization and science and technology.
I just don’t know what kind of results the human fleet can achieve in this military exercise.
"No matter what the results are, I won't get involved this time."
Han Yang has made up his mind.
Even if his grades were at the bottom, he would not interfere. He also hopes that through this mechanism, he can cultivate better military talents and be more useful in real civilized life and death wars.
