Overall, this spaceship is more like a combination of second-level civilization technology and third-level civilization. Compared with the most advanced combat spacecraft produced by the second-level peak civilization, this spaceship surpasses it in some aspects, such as energy and propulsion efficiency - the energy source of the second-level peak civilization is still nuclear fusion, and this spaceship adopts Annihilation of matter and antimatter.
But in some places, the ship fell behind. For example, the overall flight control system of the spacecraft, such as certain materials, certain properties, etc.
Overall, after a comprehensive evaluation by scientists and military experts, they believe that the overall performance and combat effectiveness of this spacecraft should still exceed that of the second-level peak civilization, but it does not have an overwhelming advantage.
Compared with the second-level pinnacle civilizations such as the Deep Space Civilization, this spaceship operates well. Facing spaceships of the same level, it should be able to achieve a one-to-two or one-to-three exchange ratio. Any more would not be possible.
Compared with the real third-level civilization, there is still a considerable gap. Its comprehensive performance and combat effectiveness are not even comparable to the Yuanhang spacecraft in its intact period.
The Yuan Voyage spacecraft has a vacuum cannon, but it does not.
At this moment, inside its weightless spacecraft, among the numerous combat readiness supplies, life support systems, etc., many Space Force soldiers who had previously been trained in the simulation cabin, with the help of their respective auxiliary exoskeleton systems, Underneath, they flew quickly in the sky, and each arrived at their proper position.
There are about a thousand warriors in this spaceship. These warriors are divided into the following parts to ensure the normal operation of the spacecraft and external combat.
The first is undoubtedly the chain of command. The command system consists of a captain, three to five deputy captains, a staff director and more than 30 staff officers, as well as corresponding intelligence, information processing, scientific consultants and other processing personnel, responsible for the management and management of the entire spacecraft. command.
The second is the internal protection system. In normal times, the personnel of the internal protection system are responsible for the daily maintenance of the spacecraft. During wartime, they are responsible for the emergency repair of the spacecraft to ensure that the spacecraft can face the battle in the best condition. Because the internal security system is extremely important, it is directly led by a deputy captain.
The third is the combat system. There is nothing much to say about this system. It is responsible for directly implementing the will of the spacecraft leadership and manipulating the corresponding weapons to attack the enemy.
The fourth is the logistics system. The logistics system is mainly responsible for the management of energy, materials, medical care, repairs, canteens, etc. in the spacecraft.
In addition, there are some smaller systems, such as the captain's guard, which is responsible for the captain's safety and also for maintaining the internal order of the spacecraft, such as the ship's military court, such as the disciplinary department, etc., but they are all generally classified under among the remaining four categories.
After all, the number of warriors in the spaceship is not too many, so there is no need to set it too finely to waste personnel.
When all the soldiers were in their positions, the first military exercise of human civilization since arriving in the Lakai 9352 galaxy officially began.
Confronting this spaceship were some combat spacecraft that had been eliminated by the space force in the past. There are about 30 of them in total, of which there are six that are larger than this spacecraft made with the most advanced technology. The rest are also the more powerful and more powerful batch of the eliminated spaceships. The exercise scenario is a space encounter under restricted conditions.
Zhao Changxing, a group of civilization leaders, and war committee members sat in the director's office, watching the big screen in front of them attentively, looking at the rows of data and the bright spots or light clusters representing different spacecrafts, different stars, and different celestial bodies. .
In the vast space, a spaceship and a fleet were traveling quickly, approaching each other head on. When the distance between the two parties was still millions of kilometers, the director made a decision.
"With the equipment of the No. 1 aircraft, the enemy fleet has been discovered at this moment. The enemy fleet has not discovered the No. 1 aircraft."
This spacecraft does not yet have a name, and is only temporarily called Unit 1.
After receiving the judgment, the temporary captain of Unit 1 immediately issued an attack order. In an instant, thousands of electromagnetic cannons roared simultaneously on Unit 1, firing a torrent of precise electromagnetic cannon projectiles. At the same time, Unit 1 immediately started maneuvering, changed its trajectory, hid again, and began to reduce its own speed.
After being attacked by electromagnetic cannon projectiles, three warships in the enemy fleet were immediately marked for destruction and were withdrawn from the battle sequence. The remaining combat spacecraft immediately formed a combat formation and began to counterattack the No. 1 aircraft.
But at this moment, Unit 1 has hidden in other directions. All attacks launched at the coordinates calculated by calculating the ballistic trajectory failed. Even if the air and space scanning system was turned on to its maximum power, it could not find any trace of Unit 1. They tried to release a large number of spy satellites, but they were accurately destroyed one by one as soon as they were released. They tried to release jamming bombs and hide their specific positions by creating a large number of echoes, but failed. They tried to escape, but their propulsion power was simply no match for the enemy.
In this dark universe, Unit 1 changed its position like a leisurely stroll, relying on its outstanding stealth ability to remain hidden in the dark, never being discovered by the enemy fleet. Occasionally, it would launch a moderately violent attack, damaging or destroying a warship, and the enemy fleet would have to make a violent response.
Occasionally, a few projectiles will hit the No. 1 machine, but they are completely unable to break through the defense of high-performance special steel and metallic hydrogen, which adopts active and passive dual blasting armor technology.
Finally, until all the energy of the enemy fleet was exhausted and it completely lost its mobility, Unit 1 launched several medium-sized interstellar missiles to "destroy" them.
During this process, the enemy fleet was unable to find the true location of the No. 1 aircraft until it was completely destroyed.
I don’t even know how I died.
Even ordinary people without much military knowledge can see from this encounter that the No. 1 machine's true strength was completely destroyed without even using half of it, which once attracted people's attention. Proud of the "powerful" fleet.
"Leader, in fact, the combat effectiveness of Unit 1 still has huge room for improvement." A member of the War Commission reported: "In fact, Unit 1 is not very suitable for such small-scale encounters. It is more suitable for large-scale encounters. Large-scale critical battles and space battles.
In our deduction, a spaceship like Unit 1 is more appropriately positioned as the 'offensive core' of a fleet, assuming the responsibility of the 'combat fulcrum'.
This fleet should consist of the following types of ships:
First, it is an aerospace carrier that is responsible for battlefield delivery, material supply, logistical support, and intelligence core. It can also be regarded as a space fortress; second, there are about a hundred small and medium-sized combat spacecraft, responsible for fighting with the enemy. , to eliminate small targets; third, there are at least 10,000 or more spy satellites, coupled with one or two early warning spacecraft, to build one's own communication network and collect battlefield intelligence; fourth, there are two to four anti-missile spacecraft. Specially responsible for destroying enemy interstellar missiles and providing cover for our interstellar missiles. Fifth, at least one minesweeping and mine-laying spacecraft. Sixth...
Interstellar warfare should be systematic. It should involve a variety of spacecraft with different functions working together, each assuming different responsibilities, so that the maximum combat effectiveness can be exerted. If there is such a system, then the combat effectiveness of the No. 1 machine will be increased many times.
Such a spacecraft formation would require a total of about 15,000 soldiers. "
Zhao Changxing nodded: "When can we have such a complete fleet of spacecraft and form a combat effectiveness?"
The war commissar thought for a moment and replied: "Twenty years."
"When I leave this galaxy, I want to see ten such spacecraft formations. The next level, independent spacecraft formations suitable for carrying out smaller missions, must have at least 20."
"yes!"
Ten such spaceship formations would require more than 150,000 frontline soldiers alone. Coupled with 20 one- or two-level smaller, more flexible spacecraft formations, the number of front-line soldiers is close to 300,000.
Counting the rest of the supporting personnel, such as ground support, reserve forces, military academies, rear lines, military factories, scientific research institutes, etc., the total number of personnel with military establishment will definitely exceed 5 million, and may even reach 6 million.
For a civilization with a total population of only 200 million, this is quite a lot from any aspect.
Zhao Changxing nodded: "How do you classify the levels of these spaceships?"
"Based on different tonnages, comprehensive performance, and combat capabilities, we initially plan to divide them into four levels. The highest level is codenamed after the highest peak in the earth's era, 'Mount Everest'. The lower levels are 'Kunlun' and 'Taihang'. ', 'Tarzan'.
For the main combat spacecraft formation, we plan to use the 'Everest' class space carrier, 'Everest' class combat spacecraft and early warning spacecraft, and mine clearance spacecraft, combined with a certain number of 'Kunlun' class and 'Taihang' class combat spacecraft. Collectively known as the Everest-class spacecraft formation. "
Zhao Changxing shook his head, thought for a moment, and finally rejected this classification method.
"When measuring the combat effectiveness of a spaceship formation, you can also add the civilization level into it. Just use... just use the eight planets in the solar system, and divide the levels from the inside to the outside."
Facing Zhao Changxing's words, everyone was a little confused.
"The most advanced and most combat-effective spaceship formation we are currently building has a technological level that is approximately at the peak of the second-level civilization. Let's call it the first level and call it the 'Mercury'-class spacecraft formation. Below that, we will temporarily call it ' Asteroid' class, 'Comet' class are used as code names. Above them, there are 'Venus' class, 'Earth' class, etc.
Taking the current comprehensive strength of the 'Mercury' class spacecraft formation as a benchmark, when will the comprehensive strength of the spacecraft formation we create make a qualitative leap compared to the current 'Mercury' class spacecraft formation and be able to form a crushing situation? You can call it a 'Venus' class spacecraft formation. "
