In the next week, Chu Jungui did not rush to put the completed design into practice, but handed it over to Kaitian and Zhizhi for inspection and final revision. In the extra time, he expanded the orbital station platform and expanded the area.
doubled and began to develop the upper and lower structures.
The expanded rail station can accommodate a thousand engineers, and has warehouses and medium-sized processing workshops that can process some parts on-site.
At this moment, the White Feather has been transformed into more than a dozen sections and hundreds of large and small equipment components, floating around the orbital station, fixed with cables, waiting for the moment of construction.
From the scale of the orbital station, we can roughly see Chu Jungui’s ambition. He definitely doesn’t just want to build a starship.
On the edge of the N77 war zone, a huge mobile base was flying slowly. Behind the base was an asteroid-like battleship, followed by dozens of starships of various sizes.
In the center of the grand command hall of the base, an old man was meditating on a huge star map. On the epaulette of his military uniform was a golden-purple rose made of stars, which was the symbol of the federal marshal.
Images of generals appeared one after another in front of the old man. As soon as they appeared, they bowed and saluted the old man with great respect. The old man remained silent and did not respond at all, as if he had never seen these people before.
It wasn't until a beautiful female general appeared that the old man regained his composure and said, "Everyone is here, let's have a meeting."
He cleared his throat, reached out and touched the star map, which switched to a schematic diagram of the war zone with detailed information, and then said: "This battle has lasted for four months. According to the scheduled plan, the opponent's mobile base and capital ships should have been
Forced into a blind corner, forcing them to withdraw from the battle. But now, our losses here have exceeded the plan during the entire campaign, but we have not yet caught the tail of the opponent's mobile base. Is this kind of battle situation normal? "
All the generals were silent.
The old man didn't seem to want to wait for their answer, and continued: "The battle damage rate of our hunter-destroyer fleet was 30% higher than expected. This directly led to the shortage of high-speed reconnaissance lag fleet, which allowed the opponent's mobile base to find gaps several times.
Escaped. Is that so?"
A bearded general said bravely: "This is indeed the reason I summarized in the battle report."
"The reason?" The old man said calmly, "This is the result, not the cause. The reason should be where these high-speed starships were destroyed and in whose hands they were destroyed. Now, can you give me
Got an answer?"
"According to statistics, 40% of them were damaged in battles with the Swan and its fleet, and the other 20% were lost for unknown reasons..."
The old man interrupted him directly, "There is an unknown reason! Okay, you can find the reason yourself. As for the Swan, is the captain the girl named Lin Xi?"
"Yes."
The old man laughed and said: "It's the Lin family again. My children have been competing with Lin Xuanshang for decades, and now the third generation has begun to meet on the battlefield? Aren't there a lot of our younger generations? What Gan Bo?
, Xino, there is another one who is more popular...well, what is her name? Egg...Agnes, there are so many future generals, but you can't beat her?"
The bearded admiral was a little embarrassed and carefully explained: "They all serve in the comprehensive army, and few of them simply command starships. As for the command of the hunter-destroyer fleet, it is not up to them. At least not yet."
The old man nodded without comment, then pulled out another galaxy and asked: "We have invested so many troops on this planet, why don't we have a base now?"
Seeing Planet No. 4 in the center of the star map, everyone's expressions became a little strange. The old man took in all their strangeness, snorted, and said: "Everyone here must be disappointed if this battle is like this."
It’s uncomfortable. If this situation continues, it will be even more uncomfortable for you. The federal principle is not to increase the level of intervention and maintain the current limit.”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked much better, and some even breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man's tone suddenly turned stern. He looked at the burly general farthest away from him and said: "This war was started by the Lancers. If we lose, half of the responsibility will be lost."
It will be carried by the Lancers. In a war of this scale, if accountability is seriously pursued, the Lancer designation can be cancelled."
The general's face instantly became very ugly, and he said: "War is obviously the first..."
"That's the Federation's Star Fleet." The old man interrupted him directly.
The atmosphere of the meeting became increasingly depressing. The old man commented on several more battle reports, and finally said: "Originally, I planned to go to the center of the war zone to take a look, but now it seems that there is no need for it. The N77 war zone was classified as an autonomous war zone by the parliament, and the federal government could only
Limited intervention. I have no intention of overturning the resolution of the parliament, so you can do your own thing."
A general asked cautiously: "Excuse me, how was the battle across the line?"
"Passive." The old man only said one sentence.
Everyone was happy and worried, and the old man said slowly: "I'm going to take a rest. Since you are here, let's discuss how to fight in the next stage."
The old man turned and left, but the images of the generals were still left in the command hall. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. After a long time, a tall and thin general said: "Let the whole army attack and fight the opponent?"
Another general shook his head: "I think we should continue the previous policy and continue to consume their energy and supplies."
"Still consuming? They have been consuming it for several months. Shouldn't their supplies be at the bottom long ago?"
"Accidents will always happen. According to intelligence, the supplies they supplement are only 20% of normal needs. As long as we continue to maintain pressure, they may collapse at any time."
"But they held up longer than normal."
A general said: "Maybe they are very frugal, maybe they have a lot of supplies in the early stage, or maybe there are several secret planetary bases that have not been discovered yet. No matter which one it is, it just lasts a little longer.
.As long as we maintain the current pressure, or do you think any of you are going to touch those two battleships?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent again. After a while, no new strategy was discussed. Most people still wanted to maintain the previous strategy, continue to bleed blood and consume supplies for the Shengtang, and wait for the Shengtang to collapse.
.
In the office, the old man sat in a chair and silently watched their discussion without saying a word.
After a while, the huge mobile base began to turn, and the fleet began to prepare for the jump. After a flash of light, the star field became empty, as if nothing had happened.
At Base No. 2, Chu Jungui was expanding production capacity while accelerating the production of energy capsules. Energy is needed everywhere now, so the production capacity of the power furnace has been increased several times, but it is still not enough.
Chu Jungui didn't know that he could now complete the entire energy supply of a destroyer in one day, or replenish a light cruiser in three days. This supply capacity has exceeded half of that of an ordinary mobile base.
