Chapter 115 Parallel Connection Failure
If the congressmen can think of this, Elro can also think of it.
He wanted to raise this question, but the congressmen said it first.
Elro nodded and said, "Then develop the railgun route, long-range bombardment, which can be used as the first line of defense for drone carriers."
"I agree, let's do it, unlock the cruiser technology as soon as possible, have stronger drone carriers, and have stronger meat shield cannon cruisers."
"This requires trade coins, a lot of trade coins, we need rare resources in the S-01919 star system."
"Put aside the dispute and develop together, this is good, we need a buffer time."
"If necessary, you can show weakness first and stabilize the other party..."
...
S-01919 star system.
The starry sky is boundless, cold, dark and dead.
In an empty starry sky, a huge fleet is quietly hovering.
All "Nerus-class" industrial ships and "Charger-class" mining ships.
A total of 37 ships, 21 industrial ships and 16 mining ships.
Not far from the starry sky ahead, a warship can be seen flying out of the asteroids from time to time.
At this time, in a "Star-class" destroyer outside the asteroids...
When Rex received the news from the Thirteen-Man Council, he was relieved.
He is still the fleet commander, and the Thirteen-Man Council did not punish him.
And the order issued by the Thirteen-Man Council made Rex's eyes flash with doubt.
There was no order to attack, and the Thirteen-Man Council asked him to mine on the edge of the star system to obtain rare minerals.
Did the Thirteen-Man Council give up the habitable planet?
What about shelving disputes and jointly developing? This is a negative approach.
The "Warhammer" forces will find this place soon.
Will they watch the "Free Democratic Federation" obtain resources in the S-01919 star system?
Indeed, in the empty universe, it is conducive to the combat of drone groups.
But without the addition of new forces, can the current fleet defeat the enemy?
Rex is very skeptical about this.
"All ships, listen to the order. The battle plan has been changed. The advance fleet has become the escort fleet. All mining barges will set off immediately to the asteroid belt to collect rare minerals. Be careful not to go too deep."
"The escort fleet will immediately send drones for escort and cruise within a radius of 100,000 kilometers of the mining resource point. If an enemy fleet is found, evacuate first and do not fight."
"The industrial ship is waiting outside the asteroid belt, waiting to load the mineral powder..."
An order is an order. He can doubt the order, but he must execute it.
He has failed once, and he must obey the order.
Soon, the Thirteen Council will send more mining barges to arrive.
Rex knew that this failure made the Thirteen Council change its goal.
From controlling the S-01919 star system to obtaining rare mineral resources in the S-01919 star system.
Outside, with Rex's order, the originally motionless logistics fleet moved.
The engine at the tail of the dark yellow mining barge spewed out blue-white flames and rushed straight to the asteroid belt.
Although their hulls are not big, only 133 meters long, they are good at mining.
All the equipment on the hull is for mining.
The industrial ship did not move and remained in place.
The industrial ship does not have too thick armor, too strong shield, and the hull structure is also quite fragile.
Once entering the asteroid group, once hit by an asteroid, there is only one result.
That is the ship is destroyed and people are killed.
From the cargo hatches of some industrial ships, a number of "Earth Elf" drones flew out.
That was the returning warships directly remotely controlling the "Earth Elf" drones transported in the industrial ships to replenish the losses in the battle.
In order to control the S-01919 star system, the "Free Democratic Federation" has made full preparations.
In addition to the drones brought by the fleet, the industrial ships also carry more than 2,000 "Earth Elf" drones.
The purpose is to replenish the losses of the fleet in the battle.
...
S-01888 star system.
No matter when, in the dark starry sky, the planets are always so beautiful.
Even a yellowish earth planet looks so gorgeous.
Under the shining of the starlight, it exudes a faint halo.
In the orbit of Star No. 1, it is still busy.
The huge space-time gate hovers above the plane of the star ring as usual.
Hundreds of "Iron Slave" mining machines travel back and forth between the star ring and the space-time gate.
There is an endless stream of "Iron Slave" mining boats entering and leaving the space-time gate, and sometimes there is even a long queue.
Compared with four years ago, the asteroid clusters in the star ring have become more fragmented.
Sometimes even a dust area can be seen.
This is not a phenomenon of exhaustion. Even if the scale of mining is expanded tenfold, the reserves of the star ring can sustain mining for decades.
On the other side of the space-time gate, a huge semi-automated factory floats in the white void.
It is very huge, without any shape, and the metal buildings extend outward irregularly.
Many docks, engineering platforms, helipads, and harbors can be seen.
A large number of engineering machines shuttle through the white void, filling every inch of space.
Eventually, the automated factory will take on the shape of a hollow sphere.
Large and small shipyards are arranged in layers, and warships under construction can be seen in a large number of shipyards.
Eight battleships have been formed, just like a finished product, and the day of launching is not far away.
At this time, on a small dock platform, two people were standing behind the glass wall.
"Twenty thousand slave workers work here, and the production efficiency of the semi-automated factory has increased to 25%. In the future, the semi-automated factory will continue to expand until it covers every inch of space. To increase the production efficiency to 100%, it will take at least 100 Thousands of slave workers.”
The scale of the giant project is very exaggerated and shocking.
Li Meng was speechless as he looked at the metal world outside and the "slave worker" mining boats that kept flying past his eyes.
More than two years have passed outside, but nearly twenty years have passed in the fault space.
After twenty years of construction, the semi-automated factory is still being expanded, which shows its scale.
The diameter of the fault space can be a hundred kilometers. If every inch is filled, it will be a metal building with a diameter of a hundred kilometers.
"Due to military needs and in accordance with the requirements of the "King", the construction plan of 36 warships has been put on the schedule and is expected to be launched within 24 months, including 24 "Cobra" destroyers and "Firestorm" class destroyers. 12 escort ships.”
Having said this, Donald turned around and made an eagle salute to the "King".
The mechanical, hoarse voice continued to sound from the hood.
"King, I'm sorry. The research on the parallel device of subspace engines has failed. Subspace engines cannot be connected in parallel. Forcible parallel connection will interfere with each other and cannot open subspace cracks."
