Chapter 263 Fleet Insufficiency
Ross 154 planetary system, the base of the Fox Pirates.
Compared with the booming solar system, the galaxy here seems extremely desolate, whether it is the desolate scenery on the planets or the ships operating in space.
Even though the Qingluan Legion here has as many as 10,000 space battleships under its command, the number is still not comparable to the 40,000 battleships under the Xuanwu and Qinglong Legions in the solar system.
But even so, Li Jian, the commander of this seemingly abandoned legion, always maintained a very high intensity in the daily training of this legion.
In the Conqueror's combat command room, Li Jian sat opposite Fan Ren with a frown on his face, looking unhappy.
However, Fan Ren looked at the documents in his hand with a much more relaxed expression.
As previously proposed, the Qingluan Legion would be built into a powerful 'blue army' to occasionally launch 'exercise' attacks on the solar system. Obviously, the current Qingluan Legion does not have the ability to conduct these offensive exercises.
First of all, the most important indicator is mobility.
Li Jian also obtained a copy of all the data and information that the Peace Messenger had obtained during its trip to Sirius Prime.
After observing and learning from the Legion Staff and most of the front-line combat commanders, and comparing the data of ships equipped by most second-level civilizations, he helplessly discovered that the short-term maneuvering speed of the Hans civilization's battleships was not particularly fast.
In the main fleet configuration of most second-level civilizations, the movement speed of their warships, whether it is the jump engine that humans have not yet begun to assemble, or the overload technology of the afterburner, makes the Punisher's maneuvering speed far behind that of the same level warships.
This indicator is extremely deadly for the Punisher, which mainly uses melee attacks as its main attack method and is also the main battleship of human civilization.
You know, due to cost reasons, most civilizations have all used missiles, which are weapon systems with low technical content but long-range attack capabilities.
Although there are close combat weapons like electromagnetic railguns, as I said before, not many of them are installed due to the balance of the energy supply system.
To this end, Li Jian proposed a solution.
Propose to the design department to modify or redesign the Punisher into a new spacecraft with a weapon system that has long-range missile strike capability.
This is to make up for the Qingluan Legion's lack of spacecraft maneuverability, or the diversity of the fleet's configuration, so that they can use electromagnetic railguns or long-range missiles to attack spacecraft under reasonable conditions.
Rather than a ship card that only has melee attack capabilities.
Apart from mobility, the Qingluan Legion does not have many options in terms of special operations ships.
This includes specially equipped ships that can be responsible for setting up jump intercept generators, as well as other electromagnetic warfare type ships.
It is even said that in the hands of higher-level civilizations, they also have a very expensive logistics and maintenance ship.
This type of ship is capable of using a very advanced long-range nano-light-speed transmission technology within a range of 200 kilometers to make the attacked ship completely abandon its own armor repair device and obtain additional armor repairs when its own fleet suffers a non-one-time devastating blow on the battlefield.
In this way, not only can the power of the armor repair device, which consumes a lot of energy, be saved, thereby saving some energy, but it can also enable the attacking team to focus more on the attacking end of the battlefield.
Fan Ren looked at the documents in his hand.
It must be said that Li Jian's research on the information he obtained was very thorough. Although he was a legion commander with almost no actual combat experience, he did not lose his keen vision for the key factors that would affect the outcome of future wars.
In general, most of the content of this suggestion from the internal staff of the Qingluan Legion is acceptable to Fan Ren.
Because the Qingluan Legion is now a legion organization outside of the human organization and under the name of the Fox Pirates, it must shoulder its original responsibilities.
Li Jian himself knew that no matter what had been decided long before, the Qingluan Legion would be built into a Blue Army Legion to take on the responsibility of surprise combat exercises against the Qinglong and Xuanwu Legions in order to enhance the opponent's response capabilities.
There is another purpose that only he, Fan Ren and Liu Shengzhan know. The Qingluan Legion must have extremely high tactical qualities at the combatant level, and also have a certain degree of lead in equipment advantages.
Of course, there is another point that Li Jian also considered.
That's what the report proposes.
Currently, most of the ships equipped by the Blue Dragon Legion, whether it is the Punisher or the Young Dragon, are designed with the main combat purpose of rapid air defense, rescue, etc.
These spaceships have undergone a complete change in paint, making them different from human ships.
But if it is used for a long time, the Fox Pirates will inevitably be suspected of human civilization during future missions.
This is an outcome that is unacceptable and intolerable for both ordinary people and current human civilization.
Fan Ren closed the thick document, took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke under Li Jian's serious gaze.
"Boss, you mentioned the many demands of the Qingluan Army very timely."
After he said this, he couldn't help but think of the senior members of the committee who were now starving for funds and arguing over the funds for the two star gates. It was not difficult to understand.
After human civilization came into contact with the star market, it has an urgent need for technological products that far exceed human standards, which has also led to a shortage of star coins.
Whether it is the jump engine technology, the higher-speed overloaded afterburner, or the special and diverse types of ships, or even the hundreds of technological products in the civilian field, they are all things that humans currently do not have or are far from similar products.
But now, human civilization does not have enough star coins.
Not only that, they also owed a huge debt for the two star gates.
A high loan of 100 billion star coins.
However, it is clear that it will take some time for the problem of Star Coin to be resolved.
Fan Ren did not let Li Jian wait for long, and said to the voice receiver beside him: "Ah Dai, have you completed the design drawings I gave you a few days ago?"
"Boss, it's almost finished. The small multifunctional mother machine on the Conqueror is very powerful. In terms of raw material processing, from the comparison between the industry I obtained and that of the Galactic Alliance, this kind of machine is a means only possessed by top civilizations even in the Galactic Alliance."
