Six Hundred and Twenty-Five 0 Clues
The moon, Beiyuezhou.
The launching of the space carrier was uneventful. Although Beiyuezhou did not deliberately keep it secret, there were not many people who knew about it. On the contrary, the international base was the first to know the news.
After several rounds of consultations, the base group made a development plan for the space carrier and ordinary warships to go hand in hand.
Yankees don't want to be led by the nose by Beidu, but the reality is that people are strong and we are weak. No matter how unwilling and pragmatic Americans are, they can't go against objective laws. There is no way to follow Beiyuedu's footsteps.
After a year of rapid development, the current Beiyuezhou is not what it used to be. Regardless of the size of the base, the number of mines, smelting capacity, manufacturing capacity, industrial and agricultural production, and lunar soil extraction, great progress has been made. Its production capacity far exceeds A year ago, it was not only the strongest backing of the Beiyuezhou fleet, but also left the international base far behind.
The international base was very dissatisfied with this situation, and tried every means to surpass Beiyuezhou, even at the expense of slowing down the development of the international fleet, otherwise the international fleet would definitely not be the size it is now.
After a year, Beiyuezhou is still operated independently by Beidu, but the number of member countries of the base group has increased to fourteen.
The situation on the earth has not undergone a fundamental change. The main energy of the major countries in the world is still on the fight against insect plagues. There are very few countries that have the spare power to develop into space, but many countries with insufficient national power have racked their brains to drill into the base group. , I hope to catch this wave of rides.
Out of various considerations such as political interests and economic interests, the Yankees have selectively absorbed several member states, but there are quite a few countries that are in the inspection period.
The Yankees tried to internationalize and complicate the moon issue by recruiting new members, but Beidu didn't accept this at all, and only talked about their strength.
The competition between Beidu and the base group has long been turned on the bright side. As long as the eyes are not blind, one can see the filthiness of both sides.
Maozi's enthusiasm for going into space has never been extinguished, and he has always wanted to use the contradiction between Beiyuezhou and the international base to open the gap for going into space. Unfortunately, Beidu is very wary of the unscrupulous Maozi, and has been unwilling to agree to Maozi's request.
The pest plagues in Maozi are mainly concentrated in Siberia, and the disasters in its European territories are not serious. As the international situation stabilizes, the situation in Maozi is gradually improving, and the idea of self-reliance is gradually born.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how you say it, Maozi is one of the three spacefaring nations in the past, neither lacking in difficulties nor lacking in technology, no one can stop his determination to develop into space.
But aerospace engineering is under the watchful eye,
The launch of the spaceship can't be hidden from anyone at all. Just by looking at the size of the rocket, we can know where Maozi wants to send the spaceship.
As a vested interest, neither Beidu nor the base group could allow Maozi to join the Moon Club. As a result, Maozi’s spaceship had no problem going to the sky. Once there was a change of orbit to fly to the moon, problems would come, either being hit by an abandoned satellite, Either it was hit by an unknown object, or the spacecraft malfunctioned inexplicably. In a word, it is possible to go to the sky, but not to go to the moon!
No matter how rough Maozi's skills are, he wouldn't have so many accidents in a row. Anyone with a good brain knows that someone must be doing something secretly.
However, Yankee and Beidu did it very secretly. Maozi knew who did it, but he couldn't find any evidence.
The United States does not want to see Mao re-emerge, and the already rising Beijing does not want to have a strong and restless neighbor around it. Since Maozi has already shown signs of decline, let it decline forever.
In fact, even if Maozi was given a chance, Maozi would never want to catch up with Beiyuezhou and the international base. Two years was not long, but it was enough for Beidu and Washington to leave Moscow far behind.
There's nothing wrong with having one less spoiler on the moon.
In terms of armaments, after the Penglai, the orbital factory built the second space carrier Kunlun, which will form the dual core of the fleet with the Penglai and continue the unfinished journey of the expedition to Jupiter
In addition to the space carrier, the orbital factory is also responsible for the construction of supporting warships. Two fleets with the space carrier as the core and other battleships as auxiliary are slowly taking shape in the orbital factory.
In addition to paying attention to various chores in the northern capital, its main energy is still on Jupiter.
Although the alien fleet was successfully eliminated, the expedition fleet was also annihilated under the siege and interception of the aliens.
Since humans can make another expedition decision, the aliens must have similar ideas. Maybe one day, another alien fleet will leave Jupiter.
Humans have learned a lot of experience and lessons in the Battle of Raging Waves, and they have figured out the force value of aliens, but then again, this long-time battle has not exposed the weaknesses of human beings to aliens?
If the aliens attack again, they will probably learn to be smarter, and it takes more effort to deal with smart enemies.
To this end, the military has specially organized personnel to conduct a large number of actual combat exercises, hoping to find ways to maximize its strengths and circumvent weaknesses, and give full play to its own advantages.
But no matter how you look at it, there are only a handful of human advantages, and nuclear energy is undoubtedly the strongest golden finger that God bestows on mankind.
So the military, who didn't know how to avoid the shortcoming, got into the horns of the long horns. Except for all the missiles carrying nuclear warheads, all the shells were also nuclear weapons. If the shells with a net weight of only about ten kilograms hit the alien warship, half of them would be smashed in one shot. battleship.
The military also wanted to equip the fleet with a batch of rockets carrying nuclear warheads, but considering that the mobility of the rockets was far inferior to that of the missiles, they simply canceled the rockets on the battleships and replaced them with small missiles.
In response to the problems exposed in the Battle of Rage, the military has fully optimized the missiles used in space warfare. The new missiles are smaller, lighter and faster, and their maneuverability has also been greatly improved.
In order to save the limited space on the warship, the military has also carried out miniaturization experiments of nuclear power engines, hoping to apply the experimental results to aerospace fighters.
The experiment was indeed a success, but the laser used to detonate the fuel ball consumes extremely high energy. Unless a nuclear reactor is also installed on the fighter, the little power stored on the fighter will not be able to power the nuclear engine at all.
The military does have micro-reactors that can be installed in fighter jets, but even if the military spares no expense, the maintenance of the reactors is not a simple matter, and fighter jet maintenance will become a nightmare for ground crews.
In the end, the fighter is still equipped with recoil thrusters using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as raw materials, but a series of optimized designs have been carried out on the thrusters to reduce the volume and increase the power.
Time passed quickly, and several months passed in a blink of an eye. In late July, the second expedition fleet was formed, and in early August, the expedition fleet set sail as planned.
