The last human in the universe

Chapter 171 Combat Strength

This grading method places a small expectation on Zhao Changxing.He hopes that everyone can feel from it that even the most advanced "Everest"-class spacecraft formation, in the context of the entire civilization classification system, is only the most elementary "Mercury"-class formation.

He hopes that people can draw a certain amount of motivation from this, never be complacent about the current achievements, and always move forward.

Looking at the "Mercury"-class spaceship formation that only exists in the blueprint and has only one spaceship at the moment, and the other supporting spaceships, early-warning spaceships, mine-clearing spaceships, and small combat spaceships, Zhao Changxing couldn't help but start Thinking: "I don't know when our civilization will have the 'Venus' level, 'Earth' level, and even the more advanced 'Tianwang' level, 'Sea King' level spaceship combat formations? Presumably by that time, our civilization will have already You have stepped into the ranks of advanced civilization, and you don't have to worry about being destroyed by other existences..."

Of course, this is just imagination.The most important thing now is to actually build the "Mercury" class spaceship formation first, and train enough soldiers to make them form combat effectiveness.

As for the future, it is enough to crush the "Mercury"-class combat spaceship formation at this moment, and it can easily destroy its "Venus"-class spaceship formation with one-to-one without any damage. It must have reached at least a third-level civilization. come out.

After this military exercise, Zhao Changxing knew that it was the right time to fully promote military-related construction.

In the high orbit of planet No. [-], which is the earliest human civilization, the most well-developed, the most comprehensive infrastructure, and the most powerful industrial capacity, an airspace has been designated as a military restricted area, and large-scale construction has begun. Resources then began to gather in this place.

With the experience of building the "No. [-] machine", the new shipyard that can build the "Everest" class spacecraft in an industrialized and assembly line style has been completed in less than ten years.Along with it, more than [-] supporting parts factories were built together.

——The four levels of "Mount Everest", "Kunlun", "Taihang" and "Mount Tai" are still preserved within civilization after discussions.Among them, the "Mount Everest" class always refers to the most advanced main combat spacecraft in the current stage, the "Kunlun" class always refers to the main combat spacecraft of the next level, and so on.

With the development of science and technology, after the new generation of main combat spacecraft is manufactured, the original "Everest" class spacecraft will be downgraded to the "Kunlun" class, and so on.

These more than [-] supporting military factories can only produce some of the most core components of the various types and models of combat spaceships.Such as engines, such as combat systems, such as emergency repair tools, etc.For the rest, which are in the peripheral position, such as the temperature control system, the kitchen system, the water circulation system, etc., after discussion by the War Council, they decided to hand over the orders to the society, or the enterprises directly under the civilization, or private enterprises to complete, so as to Share the pressure of the military and properly create benefits for the society.

Of course, compared with ordinary civilian products, military orders have higher quality requirements, and once there is a breach of contract, the punishment will be more severe.

The number of factories and enterprises that have received orders from the military is as high as tens of thousands.

Through this indirect method, the civilized government of mankind has achieved the goal of uniting the forces of all civilizations to promote military strength to a certain extent.

Under such circumstances, the first official formation of "Mount Everest"-class main combat spacecraft began to conceive.At the same time, a larger-scale military expansion operation was launched throughout civilization.

At this stage, the War Council generally divides subordinate personnel into two categories.The first category is combat-related, including front-line soldiers, reservists, strategic and tactical researchers, etc. In short, they are all related to front-line combat.The second category is production-related personnel, including major military factories, research institutes, ground crews, etc., which are not related to front-line combat.

Production-related personnel can be recruited through social recruitment without special attention.At this moment, the most important thing to recruit for this military expansion is combat-related personnel.

At this stage, the total number of combat-related personnel is only about 100. In this round of military expansion, Zhao Changxing directly plans to increase the number by ten times, reaching the order of [-] million.

Along with this strategic shift, almost everyone in the entire human civilization has been directly or indirectly involved.

All major space cities have set up recruiting points, and the slogans and symbols of "Join the Army, Defend the Home and the Country" are full of major film and television media and public places.Numerous passenger ships belonging to the military shuttled through the major space cities, transporting the young men and women full of ambition and passion to the military restricted zone.

Here, the first phase of construction of the boot camp is complete.The recruits will receive basic space combat training and related knowledge explanations here, and get used to living under strict discipline to complete the transition from a civilian to a soldier.

The first phase of military training lasts for five years.During this process, recruits who did not meet the requirements would be dismissed continuously, and the number of recruits who could pass the assessment and remain in the army to become regular soldiers was probably less than 1.However, even among the [-] people left in the end, there are probably less than a hundred people who can obtain the qualifications to enter the "No. [-] Machine" and conduct practical training.

Most of the remaining people will be assigned to ground support, machinery, logistics and other positions, and even the front-line combat troops will not be able to enter.The remaining lucky ones are eligible to receive training in the sub-level spacecraft such as the early warning spacecraft, small combat spacecraft, minelayers, and aerospace carriers of the "Mount Everest"-class main combat spacecraft formation.

Corresponding to the most stringent selection criteria, there are extremely high welfare benefits.

Even the lowest rank, who can only stay in positions such as ground support and machinery, and has only obtained the lowest rank of "third-class soldier", the salary of the official soldier is far beyond the average level of society.

In addition to numerous benefits and guarantees, the salary of a third-class soldier is enough to support an entire family to live on the average level of society.If you perform well, get the best results in the final assessment, get the rank of "Lieutenant", and become one of the lucky ones who can enter the No. [-] machine for practical training, your salary will be greatly improved.

Scientists at the Social Research Institute once worried that too high a salary would lead to an uneven development of civilization, allowing too many people to focus only on becoming soldiers, thus neglecting the rest of society.In this regard, Zhao Changxing's opinion is that in this relatively special stage of civilization development, it is still necessary to implement a certain degree of "military first strategy".

The future is not without the possibility of adjustment.

Under such circumstances, the first "Mount Everest" class main combat spacecraft finally left the dock and was handed over to the military.The supporting space carrier, early warning spacecraft, small combat spacecraft, etc. were also completed in the next two years and were also handed over to the military.

However, about 20 soldiers who are in charge of manipulating the first "Mercury"-class main combat spaceship formation in the history of human civilization have been selected through layers, and all of them have the highest quality. They have been waiting for this moment. [-] years.

More than 20 years of rigorous training and more than 20 years of military career have already engraved the things he is responsible for in the depths of his genes like instinct.

After just one year of adaptive training, the War Council submitted a report to Zhao Changxing.

The first "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation has formed combat effectiveness.

"It's not enough, it's not enough."

Yes, just one "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation is far from enough to protect the safety of human civilization and the happy life of the people.

In the third year after this, the second "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation was delivered to the military.Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, until the tenth.

Regardless of the combat spaceship or other things, once it enters a regularized and streamlined construction mode, once the power of industry is unleashed, the construction speed will increase rapidly.

The construction of the first spacecraft may take ten years, and the second spacecraft may only take two years, or even less.

After the construction of the ten "Mercury"-class main combat spaceship formations was completed, the major factories in the military restricted area turned to build the next-level "asteroid"-level spaceship formations, and the next level, suitable for A formation of Comet-class spacecraft for smaller missions.

One side is equipment, the other side is personnel, both are advancing rapidly and steadily.

On the other hand, with the increase in delivered equipment, the War Council can finally conduct military exercises that are more simulated and closer to actual combat scenarios.

No matter how perfect the theoretical system is, it is only a castle in the air. Without actual combat tests, people will never know how huge omissions exist in their theoretical system.

As a result, the Lakai 9352 galaxy fell into the rumble of "war".

On the edge of the huge star, two formations of "Mercury"-class main combat spaceships encountered each other unexpectedly, and immediately tried their best to protect themselves and kill the enemy. suject".

Near a certain asteroid, a formation of "comet"-class combat spaceships in charge of defense, with the assistance of many ground turrets, stubbornly resisted the attack of a formation of "asteroid"-level spaceships - this is a drill "Asteroid Defense and Offensive Warfare Subjects".

In addition, there are also a wide variety of "major planet offensive and defensive warfare subjects", "space environment space army special operations subjects", "large planet offensive and defensive warfare subjects with macro-atmosphere", "space field operations" subjects", "special warfare subjects on the surface of ice planets" and so on.

The total number is as high as hundreds of species.

Even so, the military has not conducted combat exercises related to gas giants and gas ice giants.Because there are no planets of this type in this star system.

　Uh, let me explain, the award I mentioned yesterday is not a grand award, but an award from the Qidian Science Fiction Channel. Every month, two new books are selected to win the Rising Star Award of the month, which is considered a monthly award.

　　I saw a lot of book friends asking me what the award was and where it was held, sweat.

　　But it's still a joy, and it's worth celebrating.
