A new type of Federation warship has entered service.
Federation internal code name x307, Gonggong-class general-purpose battleship.
Thanks to the advantages of redesign, the Gonggong-class, as the Federation's second-class warship, actually applied space expansion and space storage technology earlier than the Pangu-class.
Therefore, the length of each Gonggong-class battleship is only 285 meters.
As for weapons, they are much inferior to those of the Pangu class.
After all, although it uses a three-core star core synchronization system, it is still much worse than Zero Point Energy.
Therefore, in addition to the space shield, the Gonggong class is only equipped with a set of castrated versions of the space compression cannon, two space penetration cannons, and three space cutting cannons.
But this is already much stronger than the combined battleship.
Of course, when the Gonggong-class began mass production, the brand-new Pangu-class II battleship also completed the design and entered the testing stage.
Once this type of warship begins mass production, it will gradually be used to replace the Pangu-class warships currently in service in the Federation.
The Pangu I-type battleship to be replaced will undergo castration modifications, cutting off the zero-point energy module, removing some of the shipboard weapons, and replacing it with a three-core star nuclear energy system.
Sent to serve in the Interstellar Channel Management Department.
In addition, the Federation's second batch of battle stars has also begun construction.
Eight ships in total!
It will be used by the 2nd to 8th legions of the pioneering fleet, the legions directly under the headquarters, and the flagship of the Elf Legion.
As I said before, the Federation's battle stars are very special. Almost every ship is designed individually. In the old Federation era...
Battle Star is not the same.
The last time, the construction of two sister ships, Kaitian and Pidi, started at the same time. In fact, this was the first time in human history that two identical battle stars were built.
Although this saves time, in fact, there are many objections in the federal fleet.
after all...
Battle stars have always been synonymous with uniqueness in human hearts.
Yes, every ship is unique.
This can already be regarded as a symbol of the Federation.
Once the unique label is gone, in the hearts of the federal people, the battle star will be no different from a mass-produced ship.
Moreover, as a flagship, it does require some special features.
However, for these reasons, is it really necessary to spend a lot of effort and design every battle star from scratch like the old Federation did?
To be more pragmatic, it is definitely not necessary.
Finally, after some deliberations by the military department, it was decided to adopt this plan.
Right now...
The same rough house, but different refined decoration.
In other words, the framework is the same, the technology is the same, and the internal equipment is the same.
However, as federal officers who will receive the battle star in the future, they can customize the appearance and interior decoration of the battle star before it is produced.
In other words, the Battleship Design Department will only provide rough prototypes of Battlestars from now on.
In this way, all problems will be solved.
Each battleship will still have the unique identification of each commander.
This made the commanders of each legion who were about to have battle stars very excited.
After all, who doesn’t want a flagship that is full of style and highly recognizable?
The commanders of the standard fleet below also vowed to work harder and strive to become commanders at the level of legion commander as soon as possible, so as to obtain a battle star of their own.
It can be said that although it is a bit more troublesome than the same design, there are still many benefits.
Of course, these legion commanders did not get their battle stars so quickly. Even with the space particle reconstruction technology, the construction period of each battle star is still as long as ten months.

Year 50 of the New Federation.
After several years of development, the scale of the federal-affiliated civilization fleet has been completely restored.
Not only has it been restored, but it has also greatly exceeded the scale before the Battle of Sextant A.
According to statistics, there are currently 4.8 million United Type I battleships and 1.8 million United Type II warships in the affiliated civilization's mercenary fleet.
However, because the passage on the side of sextant a is still not closed.
Therefore, about 80% of the troops here are deployed there.
In addition, the defense fleet also deployed a Pangu-level legion and two Gonggong-level legions there.
It can be seen how seriously the Federation attaches importance to Sextant A.
As for the pioneering fleet, it is still composed of nine legions, that is, the regular seven legions, plus the legions directly under the headquarters and the Elf Legion.
However, although the organization has not changed, the directly affiliated corps and the first and second corps among the regular corps have completed the change of equipment.
From the Pangu I-type battleship, it was transformed into the Pangu II-type battleship, which greatly increased its strength.
According to the military plan, among the remaining six legions, the five Pangu-level legions will complete all re-equipment work within three years.
As for the Arda-level legion of the elves, it will come later.
Because the Arda II battleship has just completed the design and entered the testing phase, mass production will not be until the end of next year at the earliest, or even the year after that.

Military meeting room.
"Everyone knows that although according to the current progress of the Federation, it is completely possible to launch an offensive against the Sculptor Galaxy Group in advance, allowing the Federation to become a sixth-order civilization with multiple galaxy groups."
"However, we will not be able to take this step until the problem of Sextant A is solved."
"After all, if the elite fleet leaves, if that civilization attacks again and the fleet is stronger and larger than before, the Federation will be very passive."
Mu Zhengfeng said seriously, while others nodded silently.
Indeed, the Federation has had complete control over this galaxy group for many years.
It stands to reason that the expansion of the outer galaxy group can be launched two or thirty years in advance.
But now...
It’s hard to describe in one word!!
According to the information sent back by Liu Tao, there is a terrifying mechanical civilization in Balt in the Sculptor galaxy group.
Because, if it wants to conquer the Sculptor Galaxy Group, the Federation must send out the most powerful pioneering fleet, and even part of the defense fleet must be sent out.
Follow the pioneering fleet and stabilize the territory that has been established.
However, this is tantamount to sending the Federation's strongest combat power. Even if the Federation's star ring technology has made breakthroughs, a single voyage will still take a year.
If at this time, the unknown civilization invades through the passage of Liu Fengyi A...
The pioneering fleet wanted to rush back, but it was too late.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to set out to conquer the Sculptor Galaxy Group at this moment.
Let alone this moment, as long as that channel is not resolved, the Federation will not be able to let go and start a big fight for a long time in the future.
"Commander, is there really no other way?"
"It didn't exist before, but now it exists. Otherwise, today's meeting would not have been held!"
"Really, can we destroy that passage?"
Hearing this, all the federal officers showed excitement.
A channel has restricted the expansion strategy of the entire federation. Don't feel aggrieved.
However...
"Destroying the passage, we still have no solution."
The faces of everyone who had been excited just now suddenly darkened.
"Don't worry, although we can't destroy the passage, the Central Academy of Sciences has found a way..."
