The leaders guessed correctly. In order to demonstrate the power of the Stars Group over the entire world, Yang Tianyi indeed planned to send the navy to cooperate with land-based missiles to complete this annual drama. However, in terms of ship selection, he did not use the weapons needed to The Javelin-class frigates that escort the Moon Crystal transport ships in the world of stars used the first batch of small transport ships produced by the Spirit Star Industrial Base.
Since the group's shipbuilding department has always adhered to the principle of quality first under his influence, transport ships that are 150 meters long and have a tonnage of about 10,000 tons need to be slightly modified on the original basis to become stars. The world's standard armed transport ship.
Dispensable shields, thin armor, and cheap firepower are also standard features for most space bandits and gangsters.
Perhaps the three transport ships used by Yang Tianyi this time are nothing in the world of stars, but for the Elysian Space World, which is still in the early space age at this time, it is already a terrifying force that can destroy all major countries without harm.
This transport ship named "Sparrow Class" was designed by the group's fledgling warship designers for several months after analyzing many warships in the world of stars and a large number of drawings sent to them by their bosses.
If the original plan to lengthen the body to more than 200 meters was not cut off by Harland, who has gradually calmed down, the firepower and tonnage of the bird-class transport ship would probably be much stronger than it is now.
But even so, this is the first transport ship that is completely designed and built by the group independently. Therefore, after rejecting some designers who are eager for quick success and quick success, Harland specifically issued an estimate of the cost of the first batch of ships in order to appease them. Without any restrictive instructions, the designers were allowed to apply a large number of high-tech technologies that were put into use for the first time on the Bird-class transport ship.
An ion thruster that can accelerate the spacecraft's cruising speed to 5% to 10% of the speed of light, a gravity detector that can use gravity fluctuations within the galaxy to detect targets, and dual shield defenses of deflection shield and ion shield.
Several sets of laser point defense systems installed throughout the hull and a swarm missile vertical launch system located in the center of the hull have increased their firepower to a level that is not weaker than that of regular naval frigates. In particular, the swarm missiles equipped with shield modulators and high-yield fusion warheads can definitely give a head-on blow to any enemy who underestimates bird-level strength due to their size.
Of course, such luxurious configurations may only appear on the first three completed Bird-class ships.
The cost of a single ship of more than 20 million World Credits is still a bit unaffordable for the current group. Haaland’s hope is that the shipbuilding department and naval designers can cut some unnecessary costs in the subsequent batch-built Sparrow-class ships. the cost of.
For example, reducing the consumption of high-quality fuel at the expense of reduced power, and replacing swarm missiles more suitable for fleet warfare with weapons such as small-caliber lasers or electromagnetic railguns.
It is hard to imagine how much more money the group would have spent in manufacturing these high-tech products without the continuous supply of various rare metals with extremely small reserves on the earth by Xius Samsung and Lingshen Star at an almost negligible cost. .
But now that the ships have been built, it is not an option to just let them lie in the dock and eat ashes because of the high cost. Therefore, Harland simply organized the three Sparrow-class ships into an exclusive route between the Earth and Little Moon. The ion thrusters, which were much faster than chemical thrusters, shortened their round trip time to ten About hours.
Including the time for loading at the mining station, the three Bird-class ships can transport tens of thousands of tons of natural moon crystals to the earth in less than half a day. These moon crystals will then be sent to a large processing plant integrated with the ship berth, and chemical additives will be used to blend these tens of thousands of tons of natural moon crystals into more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of tons of processed moon crystal sugar. .
In fact, Yang Tianyi and Harland did not plan to significantly increase the output of the moon crystal mining base in the short term. However, after the Yongdalim Kingdom recently placed an order for five million tons of moon crystal sugar to the group, they violently increased production. It became the only option.
In Harland's follow-up planning, the navy and army forces currently deployed by the group in the Star World branch are still far from meeting the group's actual needs. Therefore, the Lingshen Star Industrial Base will not be able to meet the actual needs of the group in the next few months. We will continue to expand the scale of the shipyard and strive to double the shipbuilding capacity again, at least to the extent that six Bird-class transport ships or three Javelin-class frigates can be started at the same time.
As for where the money to expand the industrial base and shipyard will come from, neither Yang Tianyi nor Harland is worried about this issue.
The massive military purchase orders from various civilized empires are enough to support them in completing two to three rounds of expansion plans. When the group expands to a certain extent with the "strong help" of various empires, they will definitely say no to some empires by then. Able.
According to Yang Tianyi's idea, after the number of Bird-class transport ships and Javelin-class frigates reaches a certain level, the group's interstellar trade in the star world should gradually get rid of the influence of the major smuggling groups and open up a course that belongs to the group, even if it is He doesn't hesitate to confront countless vicious space bandits.
But this is all for later. Yang Tianyi's attention is now focused on the three bird-class armed transport ships on the screen, hoping that their performance will be worthy of the high cost of construction.
...
"What on earth do your Qunxing Group want to do?! I order you to unlock my handcuffs immediately! Immediately!"
In the falling space station, in a secret compartment that blocked all signals, Delacourt and her die-hard men were all put in strong handcuffs and shackles, and were surrounded by more than a dozen big red Elysium Spaces. The robots guarded the place firmly.
The guns in their hands and the several corpses lying in a pool of blood in the room reveal why no one dares to escape under the eyes of the robots.
The Secretary-General obviously didn't realize that he had become a discarded son by Yang Tianyi. He still kept shouting at the indifferent robot guards who were standing there, issuing orders that could not be obeyed.
Perhaps, she never considered herself a chess piece from the beginning, and a proud chess player would not easily accept the fact that she was just a chess piece.
Suddenly, the head of a robot turned slightly in Delacourt's direction, and a ray of light shot out from the holographic projector next to the sensor. It was the figure of Harland, the CEO of the group. In the projection, he was wearing a black suit and slowly shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. It looked like it was a real-time image.
"Mr. Mensah! What happened? What ulterior plans does your Star Group have?!"
Delacourt looked at the other party's red hair that she remembered so deeply, and loudly begged for mercy: "Now let us, no, just let me leave here, and I promise not to reveal the slightest bit of news. What do you Star Group want to do? Just do whatever you want, the blissful space is yours!"
Seeing Haaland's leisurely look, Delacourt finally understood her true status at this time, so she no longer cared about the dignity of the Supreme Secretary-General, and begged the other party, so she had to give it to Haaland directly. Kneel down.
"Interesting, Ms. Delacourt."
Harland raised his right hand, took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said disdainfully: "It was you who wanted our Star Group to become the slaves of the Elysian Space. Why are you willing to hand over the space station to us now?"
While speaking, he moved his left hand, and the external nerve sensor located behind his ear immediately transmitted his thoughts to a robot next to the Secretary-General. The robot guard squatted down, entered a few numbers on Delacourt's electronic handcuffs, and then opened all the shackles on the other person.
Ignoring the life and death of his subordinates, the secretary-general, sensing something was wrong, ran desperately out of the room and came to the once bustling but now deserted streets of the space station.
Through the huge transparent dome, she was horrified to find that the distance between the space station and the earth seemed to be much shorter than before, and through the sound of structural collapse that came from time to time in her ears, she had a fairly good understanding of her own little land. Delacourt dared to conclude that the space station's artificial gravity system had all shut down and was falling towards the earth.
Just as she was looking around for a device that could contact the ground, the robot carrying Harland's projection quickly came to her side, and with its strong hands stopped the Secretary-General from squandering the last half hour of her life.
"Ms. Delacourt, you are a very smart woman, so I suggest that you accept your ending calmly. It will be good for both of us."
Harland's cynical voice came from the robot's sound-producing device. The profound meaning revealed in it made the Secretary-General, who was still walking on the road, stop. The diamond-encrusted high heels under his feet no longer made a crisp sound on the ground. ring.
Looking at the control building still billowing smoke in the distance, the Secretary-General smiled bitterly and said sadly: "I understand, is this your plan? Let the Star Group become the savior of all mankind, and then replace it in a grand way. What was the status of Elysium Space and the National Cooperation Bureau? I have to say that helping you at that time is the thing I regret most in my life."
"You made two mistakes. First of all, the group does not intend to become the new National Cooperation Bureau. Such a loose system is not conducive to management. Secondly, if you are willing to cooperate with us, maybe the chairman will consider giving you a decent The ending, such as being hijacked by terrorists and being forced to crash the space station.”
The robot controlled by Harland took out an organic information extraction chip from his waist - this is one of the latest achievements of the scientific research department. As long as this chip is put into the organic information extractor connected to the brain, the information converted by the chip will It can be retrieved directly through the Star Hub database, eliminating the backward method of requiring another human brain as an adapter.
However, using this method requires a high degree of cooperation from the person whose information is being extracted. Otherwise, the sophisticated organic chip will easily be burned by the random thoughts of the determined person along with his brain, leaving the group with neither information nor the ability to capture the target alive.
As the Secretary-General of Defense of Elysium, Delacourt has done countless things to the people at the bottom of the earth over the years, and she can also be said to have done many evil things. The latent agent Kruger that Spider had dealt with before was not a big fish compared to her master.
Therefore, as long as the group has the information in her head, it will be easier and more comfortable for the group to destroy the already weakened Armadanai and the National Cooperation Bureau, and it will not even require any effort at all. The only thing they need to do is put this completely true information on the Internet, and leave the rest to those with clear consciences.
In view of the fact that the space station was still falling in height and the sound of structural cracking was getting closer and closer to his ears, Delacourt did not think for too long and quickly nodded with relief, indicating that Haaland could use the sharp piece. The blade's extractor was lodged in her head.
The fairly good degree of cooperation allowed the secretary-general to feel no pain in the last days of her life. Instead, she could clearly appreciate the arc of the earth in the distance while extracting information, and lamented that she was on the space station. I have been on the planet for too long, but I have always ignored that the earth is actually the real home of mankind.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good. Delacourt, who had thought through a lot of things, took off her diamond-encrusted high heels and lay sprawled on the asphalt road that she had rarely even stepped on in the past, looking at the earth that was getting closer and closer to her. He showed a satisfied smile.
Finally, dozens of swarm missiles that passed through the heavy blockade of laser point anti-cannons arrived as scheduled. The bombing impact point accurate to meters eliminated most of the mass of the entire space station in the boundless space, leaving only a small amount. The metal parts that were not burned by the atmosphere turned into the most brilliant meteor shower ever seen over the North American continent.
From the engineering miracle that everyone longed for to the meteors in the sky that make everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After overlooking the earth in space for nearly sixty years, the Elysian Space finally returned to its mother's arms with the help of the Star Group.
All the high-value organic information in Delacourt's mind was uploaded minutes before the space station was completely destroyed.
Looking at the countdown that stopped beating on the big screen and the good news coming from observation stations around the world, Yang Tianyi glanced at the two leaders in the conference room who had not yet signed the contract, and showed an imperceptible smile.
Now is the time for the Group to deal the final blow to Armadyne and the old world system.
