Moon, Taiyue combat command center.
Major Yang Wenzhi was holding coffee and waiting for his roommate to "go to work" together.
In the past few months, the two of them, as former ace pilots, had received various intensive trainings from the Space Defense Convention and the Space Flight Force, and even personally controlled a space fighter that was said to be only two in the world.
The design of this fighter is similar to that of ordinary ground fighters. It also adopts a hydrodynamic design in appearance and is equipped with air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles. At first glance, one would think that this is a "seventh-generation machine" from which country.
But after boarding the plane, all the pilots in training knew there was something about this thing.
Because its engine is so powerful that it can theoretically reach speeds of hundreds of Mach in space.
Of course, as flight testers, they would definitely not dare to personally try to perform various maneuvers against the G force at hundreds of Mach. They are more interested in touching the upper limit of the operation of human flesh in future air combat, and from Various attempts at atmospheric re-entry into space.
They originally thought that such testing and training would continue until mankind's space and atmospheric dual-purpose fighters were completely installed.
But half a month ago, they accepted a new mission and gathered in the underground command hall with a large group of pilots who were training at the same time to start "playing games."
Yes, in their opinion...it's almost like playing an air combat game.
It's just that compared to traditional FPS shooting games that require higher reaction speeds, the games they play require them to use their brains and cooperate more - similar to RTS games, such as Red Alert and StarCraft.
Although this kind of game also tests operation, compared with shooting games, it pays more attention to tactics and layout.
After all, Aita, the "system hanger", is involved in the game. Who can react faster than her...
"Okay, dear, you have to understand that there is no Christmas on the moon, only New Year's... In a few days, the organization should notify you of the holiday." Major Smil casually promised his wife, and then hung up decisively. Drop communications.
"Lao Yang, you really failed at Christmas." Smil shrugged at Yang Wenzhi, stood up and took his own thermos cup: "Also, why didn't you rush me today?"
"I was thinking about a question." Yang Wenzhi came to his senses, smiled and turned around to go out.
"What's the problem?" Smil closed the door and followed closely.
"Our current simulation battle is mainly to prepare for future space battleship battles."
"Well, is there a problem?"
"There is a problem." Yang Wenzhi stood still and waited for his roommate. The two of them had formed a deep comrade-in-arms relationship in the past few months. They even flew the same pair of fighter planes, and they cooperated very closely.
In the past half month, they have been training the cooperation between space battleships and Aita, and then targetedly destroying a certain virtual enemy battleship.
Frankly speaking, if the enemy warship is not fast and the distance is close enough, then once the distance is extended, for example, to three light seconds away, the hit rate of the main gun will be very impressive.
What? You said you can release sublight speed missiles?
According to tests, the acceleration time of sub-light speed missiles is too long. If the opponent has an over-distance observation plan, the sub-light speed missiles can still be easily intercepted before they accelerate to sub-light speed.
"There are two ways to operate an RTS game. One is to concentrate the troops on one point, and the other is one-on-one and one-point." As he walked, Yang Wenzhi said: "What we have been training is one-on-one. The main problem now is If you're a little far away, you won't be able to hit."
"Then what?"
"If we can find a few more groups of people to cooperate with us, each responsible for different lead times and trajectories, the hit rate will definitely be much better."
Smil stopped, thought for a few seconds and nodded slowly: "It's interesting. In the past, coordinated attacks mainly relied on task allocation before and during war. It can only be said that they were used for different targets, or different parts of the same target... like In today's ultra-fast-paced space war, the lead time can only be allocated by Aita."
"Yes." Yang Wenzhi watched as colleagues walked into the elevator one after another in front of him, and he quickly took two steps: "When we go to work later, we will find a few groups to compile the total and see if we can cooperate. Now the distance is getting farther. The gameplay that relies entirely on luck is too demanding on character.”
"really."
The two people walked into the elevator and saw that the people around them were not very familiar, so they did not continue chatting, but quietly waited for the elevator to go down.
Not long after, the two appeared in the hall.
Colleagues have almost arrived. Since there are still a few minutes before work time, everyone is discussing or complaining in a low voice as usual - many people feel that there is no holiday for Christmas. Isn't it too much? A little too "that".
After Yang Wenzhi and Smil put down their respective documents and cups, they looked at each other and planned to go to their familiar brothers to discuss the plan. After all... these days, when facing cunning virtual enemies, who can win? The team is small, and everyone is holding back their enthusiasm - none of the people here are fools, and would really think that they are "playing games."
This is obviously preparing for the future fleet war!
At this moment, a Mao Li Mao Qi's voice suddenly sounded from the top of the building. It was General Nicholas from the training headquarters.
"Attention all participating team members, please return to your seat and start roll call."
Yang Wenzhi and Smil immediately pulled out their chairs, stood up straight, and looked straight ahead.
Then, after the roll call ended, another voice sounded.
"Soldiers and comrades, I am Qin Weiguo from the Taiyue Combat Command."
General Qin's voice was calm and serious: "From now on, your personal communications will enter the control system."
Everyone remained motionless, but surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.
Yang Wenzhi maintained his posture and began to exert force on his fingers attached to the seam of his trousers.
As soldiers, everyone here knows what it means to start regulating personal communications.
"In the past half month, the virtual enemies you have faced in training are the real enemies that mankind will face soon."
"They are an expeditionary army that was launched three years ago. They come from the depths of the distant Virgo Super Galaxy Group. Their only destination is the solar system, and their only purpose is to destroy human civilization."
"You all already know about the ruined space city in the Blue Star System, and you also know that the Blue Star people had a splendid civilization five thousand years ago, but now, they are thousands of light years away. A person stuck in the Triangulum Galaxy cannot even travel through space."
"Now, let me tell you, the enemy we are about to face is the enemy who destroyed the Blue Star civilization five thousand years ago."
"And you will take over the Auriga Fleet and the Ursa Minor Fleet that have already set off to the battlefield, and fight against these evil forces that attempt to destroy human civilization and slaughter tens of billions of humans."
"All humanity is with you."
"Take a break."
…
Yang Wenzhi clenched his hands into fists. Even though he had undergone rigorous training, he was shaking with excitement and nervousness at this moment.
He turned to look at his teammates sitting next to him, and saw Smil holding the tea cup and preparing to take a sip, but his teeth kept holding the rim of the cup.
Looking at each other, the two people's eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions, which were a mixture of excitement, nervousness, worry... and many other emotions.
At this moment, another prompt from Aita came from the headset, indicating that the mission briefing and military information had been released.
Yang Wenzhi instantly looked at the monitor.
Data began to pop up on the monitor. In the modeling, the Executor fleet was even "close at hand".
Only less than 100 light seconds away.
"In three hours, the enemy fleet will enter the MiLi attack range. Please follow the order to lock and observe the target in advance."
"In five hours, the enemy fleet will enter an effective attack range of 10 light seconds. Main gun commanders are asked to follow the training steps to lock and observe the target in advance."
"Please note, this is not training."
Following Aita's voice, Yang Wenzhi saw that the true face of the enemy fleet began to appear on the monitor.
It was a super fleet with a space aircraft carrier and an entire fleet of thirty-six battleships!
As the order was executed, every enemy warship was marked with a locked mark, and the mothership was targeted by five grains of rice!
Yang Wenzhi aimed the main gun at his target - it was a large battleship that was "close" to the mothership. Judging from the parameters, the target was even four times the size of the "Eagle" class battleship!
Beside him, Smil growled and complained: "Damn...why are there only two sub-light speed missiles?"
"I don't know..." Yang Wenzhi looked at the target's aiming diagram and clenched his fists again.
This... still follows the training routine...
In silence, Yang Wenzhi looked back at the second floor.
Through the glass, he could clearly see that countless generals were discussing something, and the arguments were fierce.
There was even a young man in regular clothes.
Yang Wenzhi knew that this young man was Ye Ming, Academician Ye.
A beacon of science and technology for the entire human civilization.
Breathing continuously, Yang Wenzhi finally felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart that could not be eliminated, so he took a deep breath and stood up suddenly.
"Report!"
"explain."
"If we still have time to adjust the attitude of the main gun, I hope we can try a new concentrated preview tactic."
…
There are still five hours to "receive" the fire, which does not mean that the entire command center has to wait for the results of the battle.
If in the past, humans could choose to retreat to the Triangulum Galaxy after losing the war and rely on high-dimensional space membranes for defense, then a wormhole was discovered on YBTL04, the "fourth planet" in Auriga, and then the wormhole led directly to a After the ancient battlefield galaxy, and there are antimatter minerals in this galaxy...
All escape routes are gone.
Auriga, mankind will be determined to win.
The current location of the Auriga Fleet is the bottom line drawn by mankind.
What the frontline headquarters is discussing now is no longer how to fight between the Auriga Fleet and the Ursa Minor Fleet, but the issue of how the two subsequent fleets, the Andromeda Fleet and the Triangulum Fleet, will enter the battle line.
In order to rush the work, these two fleets are also built "Eagle" class unmanned fleets, with a total of forty-two ships - among which 12 Triangular fleets built in the space dock have set off ten days ago, and 30 ships are built from the ground. The Andromeda fleet built by the shipyard was a little later, and it just set off from the ground yesterday.
Today’s discussion is about the battlefield entry of these two fleets.
——Should we all enter from the Triangulum Galaxy, or should we separate part of it and make a detour, starting from the VSC-41 star gate and following the path of the Ursa Minor Fleet to form an encirclement.
Ye Ming did not express his position, because in his opinion... the current human warships are mainly "consumable" items.
If you can win, everyone will be happy. But if victory cannot be won... As long as the battle line and position can be maintained, then with the launch of the second-generation rice grains and the second-generation energy storage system, humans will come up with stronger main guns and more powerful weapons than the Eagle-class A second-generation warship with missiles, stronger shield systems, and more flexibility and speed!
In addition, space carriers and space fighters will also be launched...
Even if antimatter minerals can be mined and utilized, then mankind will directly enter the ultimate energy era and create antimatter engines and antimatter main guns!
Those should be the main force for mankind to conquer the stars and the sea.
Therefore, while everyone was discussing, Ye Ming was quietly thinking about how to solve the problem of collecting antimatter minerals.
At present, the location of the target galaxy that has been tentatively named "LCGC Galaxy" - which is actually the initials of Li Dongsheng and four others - has been roughly determined. It belongs to a very small galaxy in the local supercluster. In the past, it was always thought that The cluster is an immature nebula.
To store and utilize antimatter, Ye Ming had the technology for a long time, but to collect antimatter... Ye Ming had never considered it. After all, humans have never come into contact with resources at the level of "antimatter minerals" before.
You can’t just think about collecting something that “doesn’t exist”!
At this moment, all the generals' discussions disappeared.
Ye Ming suddenly came back to his senses and looked at General Qin who was looking at him: "What?"
"A commander just put forward a new prediction plan."
Ye Ming was startled for a moment, then turned his head and looked down.
Through the glass, he could see a domestic soldier standing upright.
"What's the plan?"
"They have been fighting against imaginary enemies in the past. They were very limited by the enemy's speed. In addition, we deliberately made the enemy very powerful, so they always won less and lost more." General Qin finished his introduction in a few words: "Now, this A team member named Yang Wenzhi proposed that multiple warships, or even all warships, preview one spacecraft at the same time... Well... it probably means that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt the enemy's ten fingers."
After finishing speaking, General Qin stared at Ye Ming: "He proposed that this is not simply concentrating firepower, but predicting all the trajectories and directions of the target enemy ships and striving to kill them with one strike - technically, this can be done Are you here?"
Ye Ming frowned slightly, then closed his eyes.
"Ita, can you do it?"
"What?"
"To do it, let's concentrate all the main guns and conduct an all-round prejudgment roll call on a spacecraft."
One second later.
"able."
