Chapter 1,108: Giant Ship Cannon Doctrine and Aircraft Carrier Battle Group

The main axis area of ​​the space elevator is the gravity-free section of the entire Star Ring City, and it is also the port area of ​​the entire Star Ring City. Since the launch of the asteroid mining plan, countless small and medium-sized transport ships can be seen here waiting at the berth every day, waiting for robotic arms to load and unload ore in containers.

In addition to the transport ships transporting minerals, you can occasionally see a rectangular-shaped passenger ship floating out of the transfer station and flying towards the direction of the moon. Ever since Starring Trading announced the opening of the Earth-to-Moon flight, the people-to-people exchanges between Earth and Guanghan City have become more active.

Now the entire Guanghan City is no longer what it used to be. Living units surround the central square, connected to each other by graphene pipes, and are located on the surface of the moon. There are nearly ten thousand people living here, and the vast majority of them are young and middle-aged workers with higher education.

In order to meet the needs of citizens, Xinghuan Trading has also established municipal facilities such as elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, community colleges, hospitals, police offices, etc. around the central square, and has openly invited bids to the outside world to build hotels, bars, cafes, Dance halls, playgrounds and other entertainment facilities.

In addition to the permanent population, there are at least 4,000 passengers traveling between Guanghan City and Star Ring City every day. Among them are immigrants heading to the moon, pure tourists, or investors looking for opportunities.

Electrolytic chambers and lunar ice drilling wells rose from the ground to deliver a steady stream of oxygen and hydrogen to the colonies, as well as the rare earth mining stations waving their twisted arms and the lunar soil refinery that produced helium 3, which together supported the vast Industry and Economy of Cold Market.

Sixty percent of the world's iron and aluminum ores and 80% of its rare earth ores are maintained on these 36,000 kilometers of elevators.

It is precisely because of this that the 50% defense tax is so painful to the capitalists in the Western Hemisphere.

This knife literally cut into their chests, and they were called cowards for it...

Standing in the lift cabin of the space elevator, Wu Changfeng stood quietly by the window, looking out the window at the huge black ship.

"Seagull" is a name familiar to everyone. It uses the Honghe X1 engine and was named by Jiang Chen himself. It is the first 500,000-ton giant ship in the Star Ring Trade, and it is also the first interstellar giant ship in the true sense of the earth's civilization. From then on, the half-million-ton giant ships in the Star Ring trade, whether transport ships or battleships, were all named after the Seagull class.

The 600-meter-long hull is externally connected by a cantilever and an elevator main shaft. Seen from a distance, it is so burly that the spacecraft passing around it are as insignificant as duckweeds and ants.

In Wu Changfeng's eyes, the scale of this Seagull-class transport ship is already large enough. At least three "Liaoning" ships must be connected first to rival it in length.

However, even such a powerful giant ship cannot serve as the main force in fighting a harmonious civilization?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried about the future of earth civilization.

What kind of enemy are we facing?

"What are you looking at?" Lu Wei walked next to him and said with a smile.

Lu Wei, former captain of the destroyer Nanning, with the rank of admiral, is the Chinese representative along with Wu Changfeng.

When Wu Changfeng heard his colleague talking to him, Wu Changfeng turned around and was about to say something. However, when his eyes fell on his arm, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

As if he guessed the meaning in Wu Changfeng's eyes, Lu Wei sighed, reluctantly lifted up his sleeves and showed him the needle hole on his arm.

"Did you hit him too?" Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, without any expression on his face, but he gradually let down his guard.

"Do you think they would let us go so easily if I didn't get the injection?" Lu Wei put away his sleeves helplessly.

Wu Changfeng frowned slightly and quickly understood what he meant.

A smile appeared on his stern face, and he said softly.

"We haven't heard of any DNA telomere-modifying serum, nor have we injected anything."

"Of course, you don't think I would write that thing in the report, right?" Lu Wei smiled and shook his head, "I'm not that stupid. It will obviously bring us trouble."

Wu Changfeng nodded.

Hua has two seats on the Earth Defense Alliance Committee. What he was most worried about before was that he concealed the situation of the "serum", and Lu Wei handed it over to the country.

In this case, he will undoubtedly lose the trust of the organization and even cause the displeasure of some big shots. With the country's current influence on the Earth Defense Alliance, he might even be kicked out of his current position.

But now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

No one can resist the temptation of "immortality", especially people like them.

"Do you think we have any hope of winning this war?" Lu Weiyu smacked his lips as he looked at the Seagull-class transport ship outside the window.

After looking at his colleagues, Wu Changfeng said calmly, "I have no doubt that we will win in the end."

"General Wu is worthy of being born as a political commissar. He is so good at chatting," Lu Wei laughed dryly.

Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows. He was about to say, "It is not the job of a soldier to worry about what happens after a defeat." But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

If it were before, he could say this without any scruples as a soldier. In the short life of a human being, even in his lifetime, he will never see the day of war with extraterrestrial civilizations. However, now, his lifespan has been extended by more than eighty years. If technological progress is maintained, his lifespan may continue to be extended.

On the day of the doomsday battle, it seems that it is not impossible for them to have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes...

"In your opinion, what are our chances of winning?" Wu Changfeng asked.

"Less than 30%."

"Oh?" Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "There is still 30%?"

"Maybe it's an occupational disease," Lu Wei shrugged. "Now the Earth Defense Alliance has shown signs of giant ship and cannon doctrine, which worries me a lot."

"In your opinion, what route should we take?" Wu Changfeng asked.

Lu Wei smiled, "Don't forget that I was on a destroyer before. Naturally, I am more inclined to the aircraft carrier battle group theory. Use highly mobile destroyers to divide the battlefield, and then the aircraft carrier sends carrier-based aircraft to attack the opponent's weaknesses..."

"What if the artillery of our 'destroyer' is not enough to break through the opponent's defense?" Wu Changfeng said sharply.

Lu Wei opened his mouth, and after a long silence, he said helplessly, "So, we are all laymen."

Modern naval doctrine can serve as the theoretical basis for future interstellar fleet operations, but after all, the ocean and the universe are two completely different fields, and everything is still in the exploratory stage.

"I'm optimistic about you." Wu Changfeng patted Lu Wei's shoulder and grinned, "If the time comes to choose a fleet commander, I will vote for you."

"Haha, thank you first."

The space elevator gradually approached the gravity-free section, and the silhouette of the Seagull also changed from a distant silhouette to a position very close at hand.

However, at this moment, Wu Changfeng suddenly noticed that between the "bridge" between the Seagull and the space elevator, a group of soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons were boarding the ship.

"What are they doing?" Wu Changfeng frowned.

He took two steps forward, and the tip of his nose almost touched the window. Looking at the bridge between the Seagull and the space elevator, Lu Wei also frowned.

"Orbital airborne troops? Is this a military exercise? I remember that Star Ring Trade has not been at war with any country recently..."

While he was talking, the transport cabin carrying the team of soldiers had been sent into the Seagull. The mechanical arm holding the Seagull separated from the hull, and the engine at the tail began to ignite, pushing the huge hull to slowly move outward.

Just as the two of them were wondering where the transport ship would fly to, the elevator cabin they were riding in entered the orbit of the space elevator. They could only watch helplessly as Star Circle City and the Seagull accelerated away from them with their backs turned. Go to... (To be continued.) Enable new URL
