One hundred and thirty-eight three years (on)

Federal calendar year 70.

Three full years have passed since the selection of the commander of the First Army Corps.

In the past three years, the speed of development of the Federation is simply astounding. At the moment when the development of medicines in the brain is popularized by the whole people, various general technologies have exploded like a blowout, and new technologies are released almost every day.

Of course, this only refers to general technology, mostly civilian technology, and key technology is not so easy to break through.

However, even so, the general technology of the Federation can be compared to the middle and late stages of the third-level civilization, which is already a very remarkable thing.

To know which of the general third-level civilizations has not experienced thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach the level of the middle or even later stage?

However, more than ten years ago, human beings had only just stepped into the stage of the third-level civilization. After more than ten years, they have already crossed the path that other civilizations have taken for thousands of years.

In fact, if you want to be more serious, it should only take five years. After all, the Federation began to popularize the brain domain development medicine five years ago, and then the technology exploded.

In terms of key technologies, there is not much progress compared to three years ago, but whether it is energy shields, transition engines, energy weapons, etc., it is actually no weaker than the initial fourth-level civilization.

Of course, if you want to compare with the old fourth-level civilization, the gap is still quite large.

If nothing else, in terms of energy weapons, the main guns of the federation's warships are a little stronger than the Aux Empire's Aegis warships. You must know that the Aegis warship is a castration product sold to it by the Babawi Empire. The gap used by the Dimensional Empire itself is very far.

It is worth mentioning that the composition of the battleships of the two major legions of the Federation has undergone major changes again, and the battleships have become more unified. In addition to the flagships of the current Federation's main fleet, there is only one type of battleship, that is, the killer whale-class battleship. As for the main aircraft carrier fleet It is no longer equipped and has been eliminated for the use of the local guard fleet.

And the culprit behind all this is the mecha.

As I said before, the current mecha is completely useless when facing the fourth-level civilized warship. After all, the weapon is too small and the power is too weak!

------\u003e\u003e

You can't have a mech carry a battleship's main gun, can you? After all, the caliber of the main gun of a battleship is more than ten meters. Who can carry it?

And even if you can carry the main gun, do you still have to carry a warship-level nuclear fusion device with you? Otherwise, are you sure you have enough energy to fire?

For this reason,

No longer developing mechas, and canceling the sound of mechas in Starfleet, the sound of mechas in the Starfleet was a big fire. At that time, the Federation almost threw the mechas into the garbage!

However, there was a lot of opposition at that time. After all, the mecha was not simply used as an attacking warship, but was more used for planetary airborne operations and contribution to fortress raiding operations, etc.

Speaking of which, since the Energy Shield, the Federal Fleet has really never used mechas for ship-to-ship combat.

Therefore, the final result is to temporarily retain the mecha organization and retain the mecha research and development team, but no longer set up a carrier carrier for the mecha, because this is a waste of the fleet establishment.

Instead, the mecha corps was dispersed in each killer whale-class battleship. It is precisely because of this that at the beginning of the design of the killer whale-class battleship, a mecha library and corresponding ejection ports were designed in it. .

Today, every killer whale-class battleship carries a squadron of mechas, that is, 300 units, which is the same as Lin Fan's flagship Ouranos.

There is an advantage after this change, that is, the entire fleet of mechas has not been reduced, but it has saved the establishment of 2,000 warships, and the number of killer whales has also increased from 432,000 to 480,000!

That is to say, the Federation's main army now has a tens of millions of tons of heavy battleships, 11 8 million tons of heavy battleships, and 240,000 killer whales.

In terms of personnel, the standard personnel of each killer whale-class battleship is 892. Of course, this is only the personnel who maintain the operation of the warship. In addition, there are 300 mecha divisions and 500 ground staff.

Therefore, each standard main fleet has a terrifying number of more than 30 million people, while a full army requires a full 400 million people to operate.

If it was more than ten years ago, human beings would definitely not be able to have so many people to support the two legions. After all, the two legions will need 800 million people when they are fully staffed, plus the local guard fleet, the ground troops of each planet, and the star ports. , the fortress and other personnel, if there are more than one billion, don't even think about it.

What is the concept of more than one billion? Today, the entire human population is only 15 billion people, and more than one billion soldiers, that is one-tenth of the entire human population.

------\u003e\u003e

The most important thing is that Star Fleet is not just an individual, it needs more than one billion age-appropriate and highly professional talents!

This was originally an impossible thing, but the emergence of genetic enhancement agents made it possible!

Many retired soldiers who were originally in their 60s, 70s, or even 80s, after using the gene-enhancing drugs, their life expectancy has been increased, and their physical functions have continued to recover.

Most of the elderly can restore their physical functions to their 30s and 40s after use, so a large number of veterans who have been discharged from the army for a long time, after simple training, quickly returned to the Star Fleet.

In today's Federation, let alone the two major legions, if you want to fully organize the four major legions, you can squeeze enough people to get together.

In addition, over the years, the Federation has become a veritable giant by selling equipment to the Kabat Empire and the Io Federation. Now the wages of the Star Fleet are now notoriously high.

Besides, who can resist the temptation of a giant ship's cannon? Who doesn't have the dream of commanding a battleship or even a fleet from a captain's seat? Who doesn't expect that one day he can become a human war god like Liang Xingchen or Lin Fan?

Well, the most important thing is that once a media went to the Io Federation to conduct an interview, and the content was about the conditions for mate selection of angel girls.

So, the girls said that they don't like cowardly men, they only like heroic men on the battlefield!

Later, when this interview was broadcast in the federation, the recruiting points on all planets in the federation were almost flattened by the crazy crowd.

Moreover, don't think that only human men have done this, and even a large number of women have also participated. It can only be said that the angel girls are really both men and women!

In short, these series of things make the Federation not lacking soldiers at all.

Especially at the moment when the new intelligent industrial robot has completely liberated the labor force.
