The two fighter planes flew across the land quickly, flying towards the new energy base of Light Years.
Lin Xi and Li Xinyi took a fighter plane together, while the rest of the negotiating team took the Ark and rushed back later. Li Xinyi sat on the passenger seat and asked, "Is it really okay for us to come back this time without even talking about it?"
Lin Xi said: "We can't reach a conclusion anyway, so we might as well spend more time preparing for war. The purpose of this federal negotiation is to delay time and test our bottom line. They don't really need a ceasefire."
Li Xinyi shrugged and said, "War is not my area of expertise. If you think this is right, then so be it."
Lin Xi shook his head and said: "This is not a war, but politics. Negotiations are too forced at this time. We can't get what we want, and the Federation can't get what they want. In addition, although we have achieved two consecutive The victory in this battle was not enough to deal a blow to the Federation. At least in their minds now, the benefits of occupying Planet 4 still outweigh the risks."
"Then what do we do next?"
"The Planetary Marines are not even considered second-class citizens in the Federation military hierarchy, even the most elite troops. So whether we annihilate 100,000 or 500,000, it is not painful for the Federation. People are not It’s valuable, and the equipment is worthless. If necessary, the Federation can arm tens of millions of marine troops at any time. So what we have to do now is to give them a few more blows before the Federation’s counterattack arrives.”
With that said, Lin Xi threw a design sketch to Li Xinyi and said, "This is an idea of mine, and it's still in the sketch stage. The next step is your work."
Li Xinyi looked at it, was startled, and asked: "Let the underworld cannon fly? That's it? This is simple!"
Lin Xidao: "That's it, fly to the orbit, fire a shot, and then it's over. As long as it can meet this requirement, do it as simple or as cheap as possible."
"Simple and cheap, um, a little troublesome..." The girl was immersed in her own world, her hands flying with fingers, and a three-dimensional design drawing was quickly formed. Judging from the progress, it will probably be completed by the time she arrives at the base.
Lin Xi withdrew her gaze and looked at the land flying by in front of her.
Two fighter planes landed at the base one after another. In the open space in the distance, a new underworld cannon has taken shape. Thousands of engineers and more work beasts are climbing up and down to assemble it with all their strength. Engineers in these light years know very well that the faster the Hades Cannon can be assembled, the safer they will be.
Chu Jungui was discussing the design plan for a new generation of work beasts with Le Mans, Kai Tian and Zhi Zhe. Lin Xi came over and said, "Sorry, the negotiation was unsuccessful."
Chu Jun returned and said: "It was impossible to negotiate in the first place, so don't worry about it. That guy Crassus probably wouldn't think that this battle was lost in his own hands, but that it was all because of the underworld cannon. So sooner or later We still have to fight a few more battles.”
Lin Xi called Li Xinyi over and said, "I have a new idea, which should teach the federation a profound lesson. Xinyi has completed the design, take a look."
Chu Jungui took the design drawings, and with a flash of consciousness, he understood the core of the entire plan. This plan is to add an engine and a disposable energy storage battery to the Hades Cannon, and then fly into orbit to give the Federation fleet a hard blow. Since the war began, the Lightyear fleet has been hiding on the surface of the storm clouds, and some have even landed directly on planets, so the orbit is already controlled by the Federation. The Lightyear Fleet occasionally harassed them twice, but it was not painful. Therefore, the federal fleet was only prepared for small-scale harassment raids, and nothing happened for such a long time. It was probably because the defenses were lax.
The Queen Cannon is a real battleship main gun. Even if its power can only be classified as the lowest level, and it has to be labeled as a defective product, it is still the main gun of a battleship, and it is not at the same level as a heavy cruiser or something like that. of. According to convention, if an ordinary heavy cruiser can resist one shot, it is considered a first-class product, enough to be installed in first- and second-tier fleets. Elite heavy cruisers can barely survive two hits. Only a few famous heavy cruisers with outstanding designs, such as the Champion Knight, can survive three hits.
The birth of capital ships is to sweep away heavy patrols.
Chu Jungui quickly made a calculation. Most of the federal new standard heavy patrols were purchased for around 10 billion. To supply ammunition and consumables, another 3 billion would be needed. The personnel salary and pension would also be a large sum. What about the pension for thousands of sailors? It must be several billions. If you calculate it this way, the Hades Pao Yipao could have reimbursed the Federation 20 billion, but its cost was less than 2 billion.
Chu Jungui immediately made a decision and directly split the design drawings and began to produce engines, shields and disposable energy storage tanks. These spare parts are produced very quickly and do not require much precision, so they can be completed in about a week.
However, a single blow would certainly not satisfy Chu Jungui, nor would it satisfy the Federation. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the construction of the new base, Chu Jungui reluctantly opened two more production lines for the underworld cannon. For this reason, Brother Dao's Fattening progress has been affected.
The federal army in orbit was not peaceful, and two transport fleets arrived in just 5 days. In addition to delivering supplies, they also transported seriously wounded soldiers and troops that needed to be reorganized back to the Federation.
On the orbital base, Kun frowned as he watched the transport ships shuttle back and forth in outer space. He hesitated for a moment, then connected to Hathaway's communication channel.
In the image, Hathaway's hair is messy and sweaty, and she is wiping sweat with a large towel.
Kun asked: "Are you practicing fighting again?"
The little princess smiled and said: "Yes! If you are bullied, you have to fight back yourself."
Kun said: "That Lin Xi data is abnormal. I suspect she used some mechanical parts or biochemical organs. This is simply cheating!"
"I'm sure she won't," Hathaway said.
Kun shrugged and said, "Whatever you want. By the way, don't you think the transport fleet these days is a little strange?"
"What's weird?" The little princess had already wiped her sweat, picked up a cup of sports drink and sipped it.
Kun looked quite serious: "These two fleets are too big, even bigger than the fleets that came before the war. And they came fully loaded. I saw that most of the transport ships transported food. We are here now There are less than 200,000 people instead of the original 600,000 people, and even 600,000 people will never be able to eat so much."
"Do you think we need to increase our troops again?"
Kun nodded and asked, "Did you hear any news over there?"
The little princess shook her head: "No, I haven't received any news in this regard."
Kun frowned and said: "I just saw a food refrigerator unloaded from a transport ship with blue stripes on it. This is a sign of high-end food. It is filled with pure natural fresh ingredients. Under normal circumstances, Only officers above the school level are treated like this. Moreover, the entire ship is filled with high-end ingredients. How many officers do we have left now? How can we eat so much!"
"Wait, let me check..." Hathaway picked up her personal terminal and began to check the status of the latest batch of fleets entering the port. After checking, I found out that the authority was insufficient!
Now the little princess really pays attention to it. Her authority in the war zone can be said to be second only to Crassus, Phil and other four people. She is ranked fifth and belongs to the core decision-making level in name only. She is the same as Kun. The parallel imports ranked 108th are qualitatively different.
After a brief thought, she began to contact the rear, preparing to investigate the source of the transport fleet.
At this moment, Crassus's voice sounded behind Kun: "No need to check, this is a small surprise I prepared for you. Of course, it is also a surprise for Lightyear."
"Surprise?!" Kun was skeptical of all the surprises Crassus said.
Crassus pointed to the distance and said: "She will appear soon."
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the boiling blue sun. The brightness has naturally been adjusted so that it looks gorgeous but not dazzling. But in fact, its radiation is extremely terrifying. Even if the Federation starship is parked for a long time, the outer shell coating will be damaged and it will need to be repainted soon.
At this moment, a small dot suddenly appeared in the center of the blue sun. The black spot gradually expanded, and it could be seen that it was an approaching starship. Kun looked at the outline of the starship, silently calculated the distance, and slowly opened his mouth.
After a while, the shape of the black spot could be clearly seen, and at this time Kun found that the whole room was shaking slightly, some dust particles were floating into the air abnormally, and there was an intermittent buzzing sound in his ears. All the strange phenomena were caused by the approaching starship. It was still far away, but it had already had a significant impact on the orbital station!
The starship finally got close enough, then turned and sailed slowly right in front of Kun's eyes. Its length seemed endless, and it didn't even take half a day to complete. Finally, it stopped on the specially extended and extended corridor of the orbital station, with most of the stern still visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Even if you can't calculate the length of the ship, just by looking at the engines whose single nozzle diameter is larger than that of the light cruiser, a layman can tell that this is a real battleship.
Kun was naturally no layman. After being shocked, he judged from the 3,800-meter-long hull, six main engines, and powerful hull lines that this was the Federation battleship: Sword of the Dawn.
It can be explained that the transport fleet sent so many high-end ingredients at this time. Ordinary crew members of the Federation battleships enjoy the treatment of school-level officers, so naturally so many ingredients are prepared for the Sword of the Dawn. The Sword of the Dawn has nearly 20,000 crew members and can carry 30,000 planetary marines if necessary, so it needs massive supplies.
It's just that Kun didn't understand that there was no dynasty fleet in the star field at all. The number of light years' starships was small and their quality was average. With three or five heavy cruisers, light years could be overwhelmed and unable to lift their heads. Why use capital ships?
Kun's thoughts suddenly diverged. Could it be said that the Federation is going to fully invade the dynasty from N77? But military common sense told him that this was impossible.
The little princess stopped drinking water for a moment before continuing. She and Crassus exchanged a calm look, and understood Crassus' true intention of calling the battleship over.
It's not just the anti-matter bombs that can penetrate storm clouds, the Sword of the Dawn's main cannon can also do the same.
