This grading method has a small expectation placed on Zhao Changxing. He hopes that everyone can feel from it that even the most advanced "Everest" class spacecraft formation, placed in the context of the entire civilization grading system,
It's just the most basic "Mercury" class formation.
He hopes that people can draw a certain amount of motivation from this, never be complacent with current achievements, and always move forward.
Looking at the "Mercury" class spacecraft formation that only existed in the blueprint, with only one spaceship at the moment, and the rest of the supporting aerospace carriers, early warning spacecrafts, demining spacecrafts, and small combat spacecrafts, Zhao Changxing couldn't help but start.
Thinking: "I wonder when our civilization will have a 'Venus' class, 'Earth' class, and even more advanced 'King' class, 'Neptune' class spacecraft combat formations? Presumably by that time, our civilization will also have
Now that you have entered the ranks of advanced civilization, you no longer have to worry about being destroyed by other existences..."
Of course, this is just a fantasy. The most important thing now is to actually build the "Mercury" class spacecraft formation and train enough soldiers to form combat effectiveness.
As for the future, it is enough to crush the current "Mercury" class combat spacecraft formation, and it can destroy its "Venus" class spacecraft formation with one to one hundred with ease and without any damage. Presumably, it must have reached at least the third level of civilization.
come out.
After this military exercise, Zhao Changxing knew that it was the right time to comprehensively promote military-related construction.
In the high orbit of Planet 3, which is the earliest human civilization has set foot in, has the most complete development, the most comprehensive infrastructure, and the most powerful industrial capacity, an airspace has been designated as a military restricted area, and large-scale construction has begun.
Resources then began to converge on this place.
With the experience of building "Unit 1", a new dock that can industrialize and build the "Everest" class spacecraft in an assembly line was built in less than ten years. Along with it, the Gundam was built
More than 3,000 supporting parts factories.
——The four levels of "Everest", "Kunlun", "Taihang" and "Taishan" are still retained within the civilization after discussion. Among them, the "Everest" level always refers to the most advanced in the current stage.
The main combat spacecraft of the "Kunlun" class always refers to the main combat spacecraft of the next level, and so on.
With the development of science and technology, after a new generation of main combat spacecraft is manufactured, the original "Everest" class spacecraft will be downgraded to the "Kunlun" class, and so on.
What these more than 3,000 supporting military factories can produce are only some of the most core components of these various types and models of combat spacecraft. For example, engines, combat systems, emergency repair tools, etc. The rest
, those in a peripheral position, such as temperature control systems, kitchen systems, water circulation systems, etc., after discussion, the war committee decided to hand over the orders to the society, or civilized enterprises, or private enterprises to complete, in order to share the military burden.
to reduce pressure and appropriately create benefits for society.
Of course, compared with ordinary civilian products, military orders have higher quality requirements. Once a breach of contract occurs, the penalties will be more severe.
The number of factories and companies that have received orders from the military has reached tens of thousands.
Through this indirect method, the government of human civilization has achieved to a certain extent the purpose of gathering the power of all civilizations to promote the improvement of military strength.
Under this situation, the first formal "Everest" class main combat spacecraft formation began to be conceived. At the same time, larger-scale military expansion operations were launched throughout the entire civilization.
At this stage, the War Council has broadly divided its subordinate personnel into two categories. The first category is combat-related, including front-line soldiers, reserve forces, strategic and tactical researchers, etc. In short, all are related to front-line combat. The second category is
Production-related personnel, including major military factories, research institutes, ground staff, etc., are not related to front-line combat.
Production-related personnel can be recruited through social recruitment, and no special attention is required. At this time, in this military expansion, the most important recruitment is combat-related personnel.
At this stage, the total number of combat-related personnel is only about one hundred thousand. In this round of military expansion, Zhao Changxing directly plans to increase it tenfold, reaching the level of one million.
With this shift in strategic levels, almost everyone in the entire human civilization has been directly or indirectly involved.
Recruitment points have been set up in all major space cities, and slogans and symbols of "Enlist in the army to protect your home and country" are full of major film and television media and public places. Countless passenger ships belonging to the military are operating in various major space cities.
Shuttle through the city, transporting boatloads of young men and women full of ambition and passion to the military restricted area.
Here, the first phase of the recruit training camp has been completed. The recruits will receive basic space combat training and relevant knowledge explanations here, and become accustomed to living under strict discipline, completing the transition from a civilian to a soldier.
.
The first phase of military training lasts for five years. During this process, recruits who do not meet the conditions will continue to be dismissed. In the end, the number of people who can pass the assessment and stay in the army and become formal soldiers is probably less than 10,000.
However, even among the 10,000 people who remain in the end, there are probably less than a hundred people who are qualified to enter "Unit No. 1" for practical training.
Most of the remaining people will be assigned to ground support, machinery, logistics and other positions, and cannot even enter the front-line combat troops. Only a small number of remaining lucky ones are qualified to join the "Everest" class main combat spacecraft formation.
Receive training in early warning spacecraft, small combat spacecraft, minelayers, space carriers and other secondary spacecraft.
Corresponding to the most stringent selection standards are extremely high welfare benefits.
Even for those with the lowest rank, who can only stay in ground support, mechanical and other positions, and have only obtained the lowest military rank of "Third Class Private", their salary is far higher than the average level of society.
In addition to a wide range of benefits and security, the salary of a third-class soldier is enough to provide a whole family with an average life in society. If you perform well and get the best score in the graduation examination, you will get "
With the rank of "Lieutenant", he has become one of the lucky 100 people who can enter Unit 1 for practical training, and his salary will be greatly improved.
Scientists at the Institute of Social Research were once worried that too high a salary would lead to uneven development of civilization, causing too many people to focus only on becoming soldiers, thereby neglecting other aspects of society. In this regard, Zhao Changxing’s opinion is,
In the current relatively special stage of civilization development, it is still necessary to implement a certain degree of "military-first strategy".
There is no possibility of adjustment in the future.
Under this situation, the first "Everest" class main combat spacecraft finally left the dock and was handed over to the military. The matching space carrier, early warning spacecraft, small combat spacecraft, etc. were also transferred in the next two days.
Construction was completed within the year and was also handed over to the military.
However, those responsible for operating this first "Mercury" class main combat spaceship formation in the history of human civilization are about 15,000 soldiers who have been selected through layers and all have the highest quality. They have been waiting for this moment.
More than twenty years.
After more than twenty years of rigorous training and more than twenty years of military career, the matters he is responsible for have been engraved deep in his genes like instinct.
After only one year of adaptive training, the War Commission submitted a report to Zhao Changxing.
The first "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation has formed combat effectiveness.
"This is not enough, far from enough."
Yes, just one "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation is far from enough to protect the safety of human civilization and the happy life of the people.
In the third year after this, the second "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation was delivered to the military. Then came the third, fourth, fifth, and up to the tenth.
Regardless of whether it is a combat spaceship or anything else, once it enters a formalized and streamlined construction mode, once the power of industry is unleashed, the construction speed will increase rapidly.
The construction of the first spacecraft may take ten years, and the construction of the second spacecraft may only take two years, or even less.
When all ten "Mercury"-class main combat spacecraft formations were completed, the major factories in the military restricted area began to fully construct the next-level "Asteroid"-class spacecraft formations, as well as the next-level, suitable
A formation of "Comet" class spacecraft for smaller missions.
On one side are the equipment, on the other are the personnel, both are advancing rapidly and steadily.
On the other hand, with the increase in delivered equipment, the War Council can finally conduct military exercises that are more simulated and closer to actual combat scenarios.
No matter how perfect the theoretical system is, it is just a castle in the air. Without practical testing, people will never know how huge omissions there are in their own theoretical system.
As a result, the Lakai 9352 galaxy fell into the rumbling "fire of war".
At the edge of a huge star, two "Mercury"-class main combat spacecraft formations encountered each other unexpectedly. They immediately used their own methods to protect themselves and kill the enemy. This was a drill for "fighting in a high-temperature and high-radiation environment near stars."
suject".
Near a certain asteroid, a defensive "Comet"-class combat spacecraft formation, with the assistance of numerous ground forts, tenaciously resisted the attack of an "asteroid"-class spacecraft formation - this was during a drill
"Asteroid Defense and Offensive Warfare Subjects".
In addition, there are a wide variety of "large planet offensive and defensive warfare subjects", "Space Environment Space Marine Special Operations Subjects", "large planet offensive and defensive warfare subjects with macro atmosphere", "space field operations"
Subjects", "Ice Planet Surface Special Operations Subjects" and so on.
The total number is up to hundreds of species.
Even so, the military has not yet conducted combat drills related to gas giant planets, gas ice giants, etc. because there are no such types of planets in this star system.
