The last human in the universe

Chapter 170 Level (addition for winning the Science Fiction Starlight New Book Award)
On the whole, this spaceship is more like a combination of the technology of the second-level civilization and the third-level civilization.Compared with the most advanced combat spacecraft manufactured by the second-level peak civilization, this spaceship surpasses in some aspects, such as energy and propulsion efficiency-the energy source of the second-level civilization peak is still nuclear fusion, and this spaceship adopts Matter and antimatter annihilation.

But in some places, the spaceship is a little behind.For example, the overall flight control system of the spacecraft, such as certain materials and certain properties.

On the whole, after a comprehensive evaluation by scientists and military experts, they believe that the comprehensive performance and combat effectiveness of this spaceship should still exceed the second-level peak civilization, but it does not have an overwhelming advantage.

Compared with the second-level peak civilization like the deep space civilization, this spaceship operates well. Facing the same level of spaceship, it should be able to play a one-to-two, one-to-three exchange ratio, and it should not be enough.

Compared with the real third-level civilization, there is still a considerable gap.Its comprehensive performance and combat effectiveness are not even comparable to the Yuanhang spaceship in its prime.

The Voyager ship has vacuum cannons, but it doesn't.

At this moment, inside its gravity-free spaceship, in the gaps between numerous combat readiness materials and life support systems, many space fighters who have been trained in the simulation cabin before, with the help of their respective auxiliary exoskeleton systems, Underneath, the volley flew quickly, and each came to their respective positions.

In this spaceship, there are about a thousand fighters in total.These fighters are divided into the following parts to ensure the normal operation of the spaceship and external battles.

The first is undoubtedly the chain of command.The command system consists of a captain, three to five deputy captains, a chief of staff, more than [-] staff officers, and corresponding intelligence, information processing, scientific consultants and other disposal personnel, responsible for the management and coordination of the entire spacecraft. command.

The second is the internal protection system.In normal times, the personnel of the internal protection system are responsible for the daily maintenance of the spacecraft, and in wartime, they are responsible for the emergency repair of the spacecraft to ensure that the spacecraft can face the battle in the best condition.Because the internal security system is extremely important, it is directly led by a deputy captain.

The third is the combat system.There is nothing to say about this system. It is responsible for directly implementing the will of the spaceship leadership and manipulating the corresponding weapons to attack the enemy.

The fourth is the logistics system.The logistics system is mainly responsible for the management of energy, materials, medical services, repairs, and canteens in the spacecraft.

In addition, there are some smaller systems, such as the captain's guard, which is responsible for maintaining the internal order of the spaceship while being responsible for the safety of the captain, such as the military court on board, such as the discipline department, etc., but they are all generally classified into among the remaining four categories.

After all, the number of soldiers in the spaceship is not too much, so there is no need to set it too finely to cause a waste of personnel.

When all the soldiers were in their positions, the first military exercise after human civilization came to the Rakai 9352 galaxy officially started.

Confronting this spaceship are some combat spaceships eliminated by the space force in the past.There are about 30 of them in total, and there are a full six of them that are larger than this spaceship made with the most advanced technology.The rest are also the stronger and more powerful batch of spaceships that have been eliminated.The exercise scenario is a space encounter under restricted conditions.

Zhao Changxing, a group of civilization leaders, and the war commissioners sat upright in the director's department, watching the big screen in front of them attentively, looking at the rows of data and the bright spots or light clusters representing different spaceships, different stars, and different celestial bodies .

In the vast space, a spaceship and a fleet were moving fast, approaching each other head-on.Just when the distance between the two sides was still several million kilometers away, the director department made a judgment.

"With the equipment of the No. [-] aircraft, the enemy fleet has been discovered at this moment. The enemy fleet has not found the No. [-] aircraft."

This spaceship does not yet have a name, and is only temporarily called No. [-] aircraft.

After receiving the judgment, the interim captain of aircraft No. [-] immediately issued an attack command.In an instant, on the No. [-] machine, thousands of electromagnetic cannons roared at the same time, firing a torrent of precise electromagnetic cannon projectiles.At the same time, the No. [-] machine immediately began to maneuver, changed its trajectory, hid itself again, and began to reduce its own speed.

Under the attack of electromagnetic artillery projectiles, three warships in the enemy fleet were immediately marked as destroyed, and they withdrew from the battle sequence.The remaining combat spaceships immediately formed a battle formation and began to counterattack the No. [-] aircraft.

But at this moment, the No. [-] machine has been hidden in other directions.All the attacks to the coordinates calculated by ballistic calculations failed.And even if the aerospace scanning system is turned on to the maximum power, it can't find the trace of No. [-] unit at all.They tried to release a large number of spy satellites, but they were destroyed one by one with precision as soon as they were released.They tried to release jamming bombs to hide their specific location by creating a large number of echoes, but they failed.They tried to escape, but their propulsion power was simply not comparable to that of the enemy.

In this dark universe, the No. [-] machine changed its position like a stroll, relying on its outstanding stealth ability to always hide in the dark, and has never been discovered by the enemy fleet.Occasionally, it would launch a non-violent attack casually, injuring or destroying a warship, and the enemy fleet would have to respond violently.

Occasionally, a few projectiles will hit Unit [-], but they are completely unable to break through the defense of high-performance special steel plus metal hydrogen, which adopts active and passive dual blasting armor technology.

In the end, until all the energy sources of the enemy fleet were exhausted and they completely lost their mobility, the No. [-] aircraft launched a few medium-sized interstellar missiles casually and "destroyed" them.

During this process, the enemy fleet failed to find the true location of the No. [-] aircraft until it was completely wiped out.

I don't know how to die.

Even ordinary people who don't have much military knowledge can see from this encounter that the real strength of the No. [-] machine has not been used even half, and it has completely destroyed a team that once attracted people. Proud of the "mighty" fleet.

"Leader, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the No. [-] aircraft still has a huge room for improvement." A member of the War Committee reported: "Actually, the No. [-] aircraft is not suitable for such small-scale encounters. It is more suitable for large-scale battles." Large-scale battles, space field battles.

In our deduction, a spaceship like the No. [-] aircraft is more properly positioned as the "offensive core" of a fleet, assuming the responsibility of a "combat fulcrum".

The fleet should consist of the following types of ships:

The first is an space carrier responsible for battlefield projection, material supply, logistics support, and intelligence core. It can also be regarded as a space fortress; secondly, there are about a hundred small and medium-sized combat spaceships, which are responsible for fighting with the enemy. , eliminate small targets; third, at least [-] spy satellites, paired with one or two early warning spacecraft to build their own communication network and collect battlefield intelligence; fourth, two to four anti-missile spacecraft, Specially responsible for destroying enemy interstellar missiles and providing cover for our interstellar missiles. Fifth, at least one mine-sweeping and mine-laying spacecraft. Sixth...

The interstellar war should be systematic, and it should be a variety of spaceships with different functions working together, each taking on different responsibilities, so as to exert the greatest combat effectiveness.If there is such a system, then the combat effectiveness of the No. [-] machine will be increased many times.

Such a formation of spaceships would require about [-] soldiers in total. "

Zhao Changxing nodded: "When will we have such a complete formation of spaceships and form a combat force?"

The war commissioner thought for a moment and replied, "20 years."

"When I leave this galaxy, I will see ten such spaceship formations. The sub-level, independent spaceship formations suitable for smaller missions must have at least 20."

"Yes!"

Ten such spaceship formations would require more than 15 soldiers for the first-line soldiers alone.Coupled with the addition of 20 smaller one-level or two-level, more flexible spaceship formations, the number of front-line soldiers will approach 30.

Including the rest of the supporting personnel, such as ground support, reserve forces, military academies, rear areas, military factories, scientific research institutes, etc., the total number of personnel with a military establishment will surely exceed 500 million, and may even reach 600 million.

For a civilization with a total population of only [-] million people, this is quite a lot no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Changxing nodded: "How do you classify these spaceships?"

"According to different tonnage, comprehensive performance, and combat capabilities, we initially plan to divide them into four levels. The highest level is code-named 'Mount Everest', the highest peak in the Earth era. The lower levels are 'Kunlun' and 'Taihang' respectively. ', 'Tarzan'.

For the main combat spacecraft formation, we plan to use the 'Everest' class space carrier, 'Everest' class combat spacecraft and early warning spacecraft, minesweeping spacecraft, with a certain number of 'Kunlun' class, 'Taihang' class combat spacecraft, Collectively referred to as the Everest-class spacecraft formation. "

Zhao Changxing shook his head, thought for a while, and finally denied this grading method.

"When measuring the combat effectiveness of a spaceship formation, the level of civilization can also be included. Just use... just use the eight planets in the solar system to divide the levels from the inside to the outside."

Facing Zhao Changxing's words, everyone was a little puzzled.

"The most advanced and most powerful spaceship formation we have produced now is about at the peak of the second-level civilization. Let's call it the first level, the 'Mercury'-level spaceship formation. Below that, for the time being, ' Asteroid' class and 'Comet' class are used as code names. Above it are 'Venus' class, 'Earth' class, etc.

Taking the comprehensive strength of the 'Mercury'-class spaceship formation as a benchmark at the moment, when the comprehensive strength of the spaceship formation we have made has a qualitative leap compared with the current 'Mercury'-class spaceship formation and can form a crushing situation, it will be It can be called the 'Venus' class spacecraft formation. "

　Uh, it's actually quite a surprise to win an award...
