Five years have passed unknowingly, and now the core civilization of the alliance is busy replacing the joint battleships, while the other civilizations have also begun to purchase the previous generation of federal standard battleships from the federation.
Only the Federation has taken no action.
The new generation of warships was originally planned to be put into production in 1728, but five years have passed and it still has not started.
The whole project is stuck...
It's not a technical problem, it's a problem with the raw materials.
According to Jiang Xinlan's and Bai Zhi's designs, the new generation of Mosasaurus-class general-purpose battleships did meet the standards proposed by Lin Fan, but they encountered difficulties due to energy supply issues.
Although Luo Li designed a brand new battleship energy system, passed the test and was finalized, there were problems during mass production.
Although one of the key materials can be produced in the laboratory, it cannot be mass-produced.
In the past two years, we have not been able to find a suitable alternative material.
Therefore, there were only three choices before Lin Fan.
First, continue to look for alternative materials and strive to achieve mass production as soon as possible.
The second is to abandon the entire plan and start over from scratch to redesign the energy core system of the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship.
The third is to shelve the plan of Soryu-class general-purpose battleships and use joint battleships for replacement.
"Luo Li, if we redesign a new energy system, how long will it take?"
"It should take as little as three years and as many as five years to complete!"
"Can we ensure that we won't encounter similar problems again?"
"I can only say that I am 99% sure!"
Shaking her head, Luo Li replied.
She has technology, but the problem is that most of the more advanced technologies are based on rare materials.
The problem on the Federation's side is here. The Kunsa world is located on the edge of the black community. It has only been born for more than 10 billion years, so it is considered an extremely young black community.
As for the surrounding black communities, the situation is generally the same.
Therefore, the shortage of special resources is inevitable.
This also resulted in a large number of technologies in Luo Li's mind being unable to be realized due to resource constraints.
Therefore, instead of saying that Luo Li is developing new energy systems, it is better to say that he is looking for other ways to realize the existing technology in his mind with existing technology and limited resources.
It's like throwing a scientist on a planet with only indigenous people. It's really difficult...
"Let's do this, let's prepare in two ways!"
"On the one hand, the federal fleet will be equipped with joint battleships from now on!"
"On the other hand, the Canglong-class universal battleship project continues, Luo Li, you are still trying to find a breakthrough!"
"If the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship project is successful, then we will replace it with a new generation of battleships, and the already equipped joint battleships will be processed and resold to other civilizations!"
"But if the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship project still fails, then we will have to continue to replace it with a combined battleship!"
"After all... we don't have much time left."
------
Since the last meeting, the federal fleet has also begun to change its equipment.
Of course, the Soryu-class project is still going on, and the current replacement is a joint battleship. This is a last resort choice.
Soon, another five years passed.
Commonwealth year 1735.
When Luo Li was developing a new energy system, although she failed to complete her original idea, she happened to develop a brand new battleship energy core system, a technology that even the Great Xia Federation had never touched before.
Dual-core chaos energy core device!
Guli
This is a system that can absolutely synchronize two different chaos cores. Although each of the energy cores has lower requirements than Lin Fan, when the two cores are completely synchronized and function at the same time, they can reach the level before Lin Fan. Exactly three times what was requested!
Now comes the problem.
It used to be a problem of insufficient energy supply, but now it suddenly becomes an energy surplus?
It doesn't matter, Bai Wei said that she had originally designed several weapon plans, but most of them were passed due to insufficient energy supply.
But now, it seems that this problem is gone.
Therefore, those previous plans can be taken out and re-evaluated.
final...
Commonwealth year 1738.
After eight years of delay, the Canglong-class general-purpose battleship project was finally successful.
Lin Fan's original requirement for this project was that the overall performance should reach 100% of that of a combined battleship.
However, after countless tests and battle simulations, Luo Li came up with a set of data.
That is to say, the overall performance of the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship has reached 578% of that of the combined battleship, far exceeding the requirements set by the federation.
The most exaggerated thing is that the standard number of crew members on the battleship has been directly reduced to 24 people.
This also means that the Federation can use the same number of people to form more fleets.
------
Federal calendar year 1833.
The cross-black cavity detection technology developed by Luo Li finally captured the Norea Empire's army.
More than seven thousand fleets!
Coming towards the alliance territory in a mighty manner.
"Everyone, according to the latest intelligence, the Norea Empire has mobilized more than 7,000 legions and is coming to kill us!"
"Currently, there are only twenty black communities left in our outer area. It is expected that a war will break out in at most twenty years!"
"But this time...I decided to take the initiative!"
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the military leaders of various civilizations below began to make a noise.
Really, Lin Fan's words about wanting to take the initiative scared them.
Defensively, we still have the advantage of fighting within the universe, but if you want to take the initiative, you will directly throw away all this advantage.
In terms of hard power, even if all civilizations in the alliance have replaced their joint battleships, the time is still too short anyway!
In more than a hundred years, even if these civilizations worked hard enough, they could form about 1,200 legions in total.
And what about the other party?
More than 7,000 legions!!!
Moreover, the overall combat power of the battleship is similar to that of the combined battleship.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, defense is still the best option.
Especially taking advantage of the fact that the core civilization is not excluded in the universe to defend!
But why are you trying to take the initiative?
"Everyone, the enemy's route this time is the same as last time, and when Norea's army arrives, there will also be three black communities who will bear the brunt."
"But this time... don't even think about deceiving them!"
"So, if we still stay on this front, we need to deploy our troops to the three black cavities."
"We originally had insufficient troops, but if we are divided into three parts like this, what else are we going to fight for?"
"So, I decided to set the decisive battle here!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan opened a three-dimensional black space diagram and pointed at one of the places.
