On a sunny afternoon, Chris sat behind his desk and was looking at an industrial production deployment list.
It has been almost a week since the Empire of Ailanshir entered a state of preparation for all-out war. Basically, the empire is still in a state of chaos. Everyone is not used to such a life, including the emperor Chris.
Everyone was busy all of a sudden, with countless government affairs to deal with. Every region was desperately building more military facilities, as if the enemy was going to invade tomorrow.
All production in various factories, including commercial groups and civilian enterprises, must be carefully deployed and adjusted.
In short, Chris barely slept this week. He was busy, busy, busy every day. It was as if those things could never be finished.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chris knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived, so he put down the documents in his hand and said, "Come in."
Sure enough, Luther brought a man in a white military uniform into Chris's office, and then stood aside with a smile.
"Long live our emperor!" Plunkeye stood at attention and saluted with his chin held high. The military salute from China was capable and energetic, which seemed appropriate on this sunny afternoon.
Chris waved his hand gently, indicating that the other party should not be so reserved, and then asked: "You know why I came to you, sit down, don't be restrained, and just talk about your views. I'm very interested."
"Your Majesty! The enemies we are fighting do not belong to any system that we already know. Their weapons are more powerful and can easily sink our destroyers!" Plunk Aik thought for a while and expressed his most intuitive feelings.
come out.
He thought for a moment and then said: "We have always suppressed our enemies with weapon systems. Whether we face demons, magicians or other races, we have full confidence in winning."
"However, the battle in the outer space of Higgs 5 made me feel the pressure brought by the enemy's weapons. We can only get a chance to fight the enemy by relying on numbers and withstanding the pressure of losses..." he recalled
Looking at that battle, I tried my best not to bring my own personal feelings to analyze that battle that didn't seem too cruel, but was far-reaching.
"Keep talking." Chris gestured to Luther to pour a glass of water for him, then gave Plunkeye a sign not to stop, and said, "I'm listening."
"I don't know why Your Majesty insists on nationwide mobilization, but I very clearly feel the pressure brought by the other party's force on us. Therefore, my personal opinion is that I hope the empire can invest in new technology and new warships to reduce the possibility of
The losses of our soldiers in the outbreak of the war." Plunkeye said seriously.
Chris nodded and said in agreement: "I'm already doing this. In fact, the construction of new warships has already begun. In the past few years, all our technical reserves have been used."
"All?" Plunkeye looked at His Majesty the Emperor in disbelief and muttered subconsciously.
Chris, who was sitting at the desk, continued to nod and admitted: "Yes, in fact, in terms of military technology, our imagination and China's imagination are actually not deviant."
"The composition of the space fleet is basically similar to that of the navy. It is familiar to you and unfamiliar to you." He said while opening a new holographic projection device in front of him.
This device is clearer and smarter than the previous holographic projections. After it is lit, it projects the silhouette of a battleship that Plunk is familiar with.
"Your Majesty, this is... the Exploration Level 1 space destroyer..." Plunkeye recognized this battleship that he had seen countless times at a glance.
The second most numerous type of warship built so far by the Elanshir Empire, it is widely used for patrol and security tasks.
In fact, this kind of warship also undertakes another very, very important task in the Elanshir Empire: training qualified talents for the imperial fleet.
It has also completed its mission very well, and in the past five years, it has provided thousands of qualified commanders to the Imperial Space Fleet.
"Yes, this is the Exploration-level 1 space destroyer that everyone is familiar with! When we were building the first such destroyer, we were designing the Exploration-level 2 space destroyer." Chris flicked his hand lightly, and the holographic projection appeared.
It turned into another larger battleship.
Plunk's Aike recognized it. It was an exploration level 2 space destroyer, now the backbone of the Airanshir Empire's space fleet.
There are thousands of this kind of destroyer, and it is also the most built warship in the Airanthil Empire. It can make long-distance space jumps and is more mature and powerful than the Exploration Level 1 destroyer.
Today, this kind of battleship basically undertakes all the tasks of the Airanthil Empire's space fleet, including space patrols, suppressing the planet's surface, conducting strategic decisive battles with possible enemy space fleets, etc.
However, many people already know from the information brought back from Plunk Aik that this kind of warship is now...out of date.
"When the Exploration Level 2 space destroyer was being built, the Exploration Level 3 space destroyer had actually been designed," Chris continued.
He stretched out his hand again, and with a slight stroke, a brand-new warship that the fleet commander had never seen before appeared in front of him.
Plunkeye was very sure that he had never seen such a larger and newer warship. However, he did hear that the Space Fleet canceled the construction plan of a brand new destroyer.
"In fact, many new technologies have not been put into production because we did not have strong enemies before, so there was no urgency to improve weapons and equipment." Chris explained: "Two weeks ago, even I thought
"Economic construction is our most urgent task now."
"But now, the situation has changed." Chris gently moved the projection in front of him with his hand, and another type of battleship that Plunk Aik knew appeared between Chris and him.
"Violent class...cruiser!" Plunkeye recognized it as just his flagship, or rather a new warship that was the flagship of all regional fleets.
"Yes! Violent-class cruiser! Just like the Exploration-class 1 destroyer, we were designing the Violent-class 2 cruiser almost at the same time that the construction of the Violent-class 1 cruiser started!" Chris said with a smile: "There is no way, the reason why there is no
We started mass production immediately, and we also considered saving money at that time..."
Will a country provide all the best and most powerful weapons to its soldiers? Slogan three says so, but in fact, it will never!
This may be a sad and uncomfortable answer, but it is a bloody fact that must be admitted.
Because advanced weapons are immature and prone to various problems, they require experimentation and modification, so they cannot be delivered to the soldiers who need them as soon as possible.
However, this is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is that the country has no money! There is only one disease in this world, the disease of poverty! There is also only one sin in this world, and poverty is the original sin!
If the United States was willing to provide its military with the best weapons, then the warships currently used by the U.S. Navy should be the Zumwalt, and the U.S. Navy's carrier-based aircraft should be the A-12, and the U.S. Air Force would not close the F-22 production line.
.
The United States, which has a lot of money, will use inferior weapons because of poverty, and the already invincible Eilandhir Empire will naturally make the same choice.
In an era where the world is already invincible, it is a very wasteful idea in itself for Chris to make up his mind to produce a warship that is seriously overpowered.
So Chris, like almost all other policymakers, chose to take a rest and concentrate on prioritizing economic development.
Because no matter from which aspect you look at it, the Elanshir Empire is not perfect. It is still poor and has not reached its peak.
On the way to the strongest state, the more you concentrate on development, the more time you save. Everyone knows this truth.
Just two weeks ago, there were more than 200 major planets that the Elanshir Empire needed to continue large-scale investment in construction, and as many as 1,700 planets that needed to continue to upgrade their modernization level.
If you include those mineral stars and some messy universes that need to be developed, Chris would have to spend trillions of gold coins every day to ensure that the empire construction proceeds in an orderly manner.
Even so, without the help of Nuwa, a supercomputer, it would still be an impossible task to straighten out the development relationship between these planets.
However, all this changed fundamentally after the Battle of Planet Higgs 5 broke out!
Those unknown enemies disappeared silently after destroying all traces of humanity on the planet Higgs 5.
For Chris, who already knows the secret that Chinese civilization has encountered such an enemy, he must be vigilant.
Therefore, Chris adjusted the strategy of developing first and then detonating troops, preparing to quickly replenish troops and make all preparations for the upcoming war.
"Yes, when we were building the Violent Level 1 space cruiser, we already had the design of the Violent Level 2 space cruiser." Chris continued without waiting for Plunkeye to say anything.
He briefly introduced this violent level 2 space cruiser: "It is equipped with two magic laser cannons, with more powerful firepower and faster speed! In fact, we also have more powerful battleships, which are now being built.
"
In fact, compared to the Violent Class 1 space cruiser, the Violent Class 2 is uglier. Its waist is still very thin, like a dumbbell shape. In order to accommodate the two magic laser cannons and the more powerful power at the tail, it
The middle part appears thinner.
"Look at this." Chris adjusted his sitting posture, and then swiped the holographic projection in front of him again, and a giant ship that was five times larger than the original violent level 2 cruiser appeared on it.
"What is this?" Seeing this super huge guy, Plunk's mouth started to feel dry.
As a soldier, he keenly felt that the battleship in front of him was more than ten times more powerful than the violent Level 1 battleships he had seen!
"This is the Invincible-class space battleship! It is also a super space fleet plan that Marshal Lawns has been following up." Chris replied.
As he spoke, he pointed at the huge battleship in front of him: "Did you see it? This is the future main force of the imperial fleet!"
"We have used a lot of advanced technologies on this battleship, including the strongest magic defense equipment to improve defense, and more powerful firepower." Chris briefly introduced this new battleship.
Then he asked Plunkeye to get closer to observe, and he continued: "This kind of warship was an absolute secret of the military before. There were only five generals who knew the entire plan! Even Prime Minister Desel did not know the entire plan.
."
"However, now, the war is approaching, so there is no need to continue the secret plan." Chris said while slowly turning the super huge battleship in front of him.
To be honest, because they have designed many models of battleships, the designers of the Airanthil Empire space battleships have begun to have some sense of aesthetics.
The battleship in front of me is slender and spectacular, more beautiful in appearance, and its functional areas are clear at a glance.
The Invincible-class space battleship has a star destroyer cannon installed on the bow! This energy beam cannon has a longer range, is more powerful, and even has the ability to destroy a planet.
Therefore, when it was designed and manufactured, it was named the Star Destroyer Cannon by His Majesty the Emperor himself. It is now the most powerful weapon that can be found in the hands of the Airanshir Empire.
Of course, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the warship equipped with this weapon, a magic laser cannon turret that can adjust the firing angle at will is installed directly on the deck of this super huge warship!
These magic laser cannons are divided into five turrets in a twin-mounted form and installed on this battleship, giving this battleship the ability to fight against five violent level 2 destroyers at the same time!
What's even more powerful is that according to the description on the projection, Plunk Aik knew that this brand-new super battleship is also equipped with a space magic defense barrier system that can be used repeatedly, as well as a new type of magic defense barrier array that exceeds the city level.
No explanation is needed. Plunk Aik knew that if he had such a battleship in his hands during the battle for Higgs 5, the other party would have no chance to fight back!
This kind of battleship, just like its class name, is absolutely invincible in the vast universe!
"I plan to build a sufficient number of these battleships in the future to ensure that the space fleet can continue to have a combat advantage when facing the enemy," Chris said.
It has to be said that whether it is the Chinese civilization or the Ilanthil Empire, they actually lack imagination when it comes to building weapons.
There is no other way. The Airanhill Empire has never fought a cosmic war, so for future cosmic wars, it can only rely on conjectures to design.
This also leads to an interesting question: when building space battleships, the designers of the Airanhill Empire inadvertently linked the space fleet and the naval fleet.
In fact, no matter where the war develops, the core steps are nothing more than three steps: discover the enemy, launch an attack, and destroy the target!
Therefore, in modern warfare, weapon designers strive to do everything they can to enhance their ability to detect enemies, extend the range at all costs, and ensure the power of weapons.
After thinking about it, in order to allow our side to discover enemy targets first and control a larger space area, we need more detectors and farther detection equipment.
This simple truth finally made the Eilanhir Empire decide to develop a decisive battle weapon that collects war zone intelligence, finds the opponent's location, and launches attacks first.
And this new type of weapon is actually the cosmic version of the aircraft carrier! The Airancire Empire had no imagination, so they directly moved the aircraft carrier into the universe and created the first type of aircraft carrier, the Airancire Empire's space aircraft carrier!
With this kind of space aircraft carrier, the Airansil Empire can deploy small "carrier-based aircraft" in the universe to find the opponent's fleet and launch attacks earlier.
As the first-generation space aircraft carrier, the battleship named Colossus is three times larger than the Invincible-class battleship!
The newly designed hull can be said to be completely like a whale flying in the universe. It has large dock-like hatches on both sides, which are used to quickly release the small spacecraft carried inside.
This kind of small spacecraft is divided into two types, one is the "Z" type spacecraft that carries a pilot, and the other is the "F" type spacecraft that is completely driven by a puppet robot.
The two spacecrafts perform missions in a 1:4 ratio, with the drone acting as the wingman of the main fighter.
The Giant-class aircraft carrier can carry 500 fighter jets of two types. These aircraft can detect and patrol and detect enemy forces in the theater in advance; they can also expel enemy forces or launch attacks on them.
Because small, powerful weapons have not yet been developed, the main means of attack for these small spacecrafts is the nuclear bombs they carry.
Although the power is not outstanding, it can be regarded as providing a powerful attack method for small "carrier-based aircraft".
When the construction of the Titan-class space carrier began, the entire fleet of the Airanhir Empire copied the basic "structure" of the naval fleet without any imagination.
Cruisers and battleships form the core combat force, and aircraft carriers provide reconnaissance and long-range strike means - probably similar to the navy of World War I, but now these battleships are floating in the universe.
Whether it is a Z-type spacecraft or an F-type spacecraft, these small carrier-based spacecraft are all called carrier-based aircraft. This is also the tradition of the navy. No one raised any objection when they were used.
In short, the Airansil Empire has sent its naval fleet into the sky and is working hard to strengthen this fleet.
When he saw a brand new battleship, or a very familiar aircraft carrier and other battleships appearing in front of him again, Plunk Aik no longer knew whether to cry with emotion or laugh with excitement.
As a veteran of the navy, he has been serving in the navy since the days when the Imperial Navy of Eilandhill came south to Dothan.
During the expedition to the demon world, he once led a squadron to advance along the coastline, destroying the demons' coastal cities and weakening the demons' war potential.
Now, seeing a familiar war mode again and a battleship with similar functions, how could he not be extremely excited?
Just when he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, Chris said: "If the war does not break out within a year, then our fleet will be formed! And it will have preliminary combat effectiveness!"
As he spoke, he held out a second finger: "If the enemy has not arrived within two years, our fleet can grow to 1,000 times its current combat effectiveness! By that time, it will appear near Higgs 5
That kind of strange ball will no longer be a difficult threat!"
"And if those damn guys give us three years, I believe you will have enough power to teach these bastards a profound lesson." When he stretched out three fingers, he said: "After seeing this
How is it after our preparations? Having fought against the enemy, do you have confidence in the future battle?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! If our fleet has so many new warships, then the enemy's threat will not be a concern." With his chin held high, Plunkeye stood up from his position energetically and stood at attention in salute.
replied.
"Don't be blindly arrogant! Make our preparations as much as possible and do our best to get a chance to survive! This is our top priority now!" Chris said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are these battleships...really, really going to be built?" Plunk asked in a daze as he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Believe me! Battleships better than these battleships are already being designed! This time it's no joke! In the near future, we will bring over the most powerful weapons we can find to fight the enemy!"
Reese clenched his fists and replied.
As the Emperor of the Empire, and as the supreme ruler of the Empire, he certainly knows that there are many new weapons and equipment that are being developed and designed.
This time the empire did not hold back, but actually used all the most powerful technologies as he said.
The Invincible Level 2 space battleship is being designed, a larger interstellar aircraft carrier has also been designed, and the laser weapons designed for the Z and F carrier-based aircraft are also being accelerated for time trials.
In short, the empire is desperately strengthening its fleet, preparing to face the Watcher fleet that is still gathering in an unknown place.
Of course, the Airanhill Empire doesn't know that the other party is a force called the Watchers, nor does it know that the other party's fleet is equally large in size.
In the distant space, a super-huge warship, accompanied by countless strange balls, is rapidly approaching the Eilanhir Empire.
War, with everyone's expectations, or in other words, everyone's vigilance, is getting closer and closer!

It’s just one update today, I don’t want to divide it into chapters, so I just added a chapter, hehehehe.
