Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 168: Change at the Whim

"Just two types of spacecraft? Or are there smaller frigates that are currently undetectable?"

After receiving this news, Yue Yuan had new doubts, but this doubt would probably not be solved until the other fleet arrived at Aldebaran, and it did not affect his judgment.

There are still two years and three months to go.

Humanity has learned a little more about the composition of the unknown fleet, so in the next two years, the arrangement of some things will have to be adjusted according to this information.

Now the first echelon headed by the Kunlun ship has completed half of the refueling work, and the next is the Tianqin formation and the Wudangshan and Emeishan formations.

In addition, after two years of hard work, resource and energy mining and transportation work have entered the fast lane, so the two space docks can start work again.

As soon as this news was sent to the Engineering Department, the heads of the Production Department and the Industrial Department ran to the bridge of the Tianqin to find Yue Yuan.

"Chief General, it's too hasty to build a warship at this time." The director of the Production Department just stepped into the bridge and shouted loudly.

He felt bitter. He had just worked hard for two years, and the various materials mined were just enough to make up for the various items consumed by people in society. But before he could be happy for a few days, a piece of news came to his ears from the engineering department.

Hearing the news that the two space docks were going to work at full capacity, he felt a sense of militarism, so he found the bridge.

Hearing the unfriendly words, Yue Yuan was not angry. He just turned around and looked at the Minister of Production and the Minister of Industry. After the two floated in front of him, he smiled and said, "Where did you hear the news that you want to build warships? We don't build warships."

"Don't build warships?"

The two were stunned. Why start the space dock if you don't build warships?

"Since you are here, let's take a look together. It happens that you also need to evaluate the resources of this plan." Yue Yuan said.

The space dock started construction, but it was not the Mountain-class battleship, the Ganymede IV-class battleship and the frigate to be built.

Because Yue Yuan knew the current situation very well, it would take a lot of time to build these spacecraft, and it would also take a lot of time to train the shipboard combat personnel. It is not advisable to cram at the last minute.

"Captain, what are you doing?" Hearing that they were not building a warship, the Minister of Industry could not help but be curious.

"Be patient." Yue Yuan pointed to the empty seat in the bridge and asked the two to wait for a moment.

Yue Yuan did not care where the news that he was going to build a warship was released, but he also sat down in the seat next to the two and waited, but found that the bridge of the Tianqin was actually in a state of weightlessness, and it made no difference whether he sat or not.

He simply turned around and looked out the porthole and waited quietly.

Because Long Xiaolin had already notified them, Yue Yuan did not wait long before he found that the automatic door of the bridge was opened.

He turned his head and saw that indeed, two people floated in along the guide rod. After arriving not far from Yue Yuan, they skillfully opened their magnetic boots and landed steadily on the floor of the bridge.

"Captain!" X2

"Well, how about it, are the design drawings drawn?" Yue Yuan said straight to the point.

"With the cooperation of Dr. Yu Nanfeng, there will be no problem, Chief. The design drawings have been drawn."

The speaker was Gao Kun from the research institute. He is no longer the fat man he used to be. After taking some muscle gene expression drugs, he also has a good figure, but his height remains the same.

The one who came with Gao Kun was Yu Nanfeng, whom he mentioned. What Yue Yuan asked to do was indeed inseparable from this engineering and dynamics leader.

"You guys come and take a look." At this time, Yue Yuan said to the two ministers who came before, asking them to take a look at the design drawings brought by Gao Kun.

The two also came over, but before they could speak, Yu Nanfeng on the side introduced them. It seems that Yu Nanfeng also knew that sufficient materials and energy were needed to start the construction, which was inseparable from the cooperation of these two.

"Ministers, this thing is called a simplified self-destructing intelligent shuttle. Its structure is very simple, just a shuttle shell with conventional fusion thrusters and steering engines. The system is equipped with an independent combat artificial intelligence AI, and then a 100 million ton equivalent hydrogen bomb is stuffed inside the shuttle.

The general manager means that the space dock will fully produce these things within the next two years, specifically for indiscriminate attacks on residential spacecraft of unknown fleets."

Yue Yuan also looked at the two ministers, and then took over the conversation and said: "You look at the list of materials required to build a self-destructing shuttle, and estimate how many we can produce in two years."

Humanity has three space carriers equipped with self-destructing drones, but the amount of ammunition that self-destructing drones can carry is not large. They are generally only used for interference or special destruction of warships' outer structures, secondary turrets, etc., or to make up for the gaps in the destroyed battleships.

It is impossible for these self-destructing drones to blow through the battleships.

And there is a disadvantage of self-destructing aircraft, that is, their command AI is carried on the mothership.

Yue Yuan felt that there were too few self-destruct drones. Each of the three motherships only carried 10,000 drones, for a total of 30,000 drones.

This was not enough to meet his plan of a surprise attack on the enemy's rear.

"If it is really as the design says, then it will be no problem to build 2,000 shuttles within two years, but only shuttles, and the hydrogen bombs carried are not counted separately." said the director of the production department.

"Although it's a little less, with the cooperation of 30,000 drones from three space carriers, it should be about the same." Yue Yuan touched his chin. Hydrogen bombs don't need to be produced in the dock. As long as the hydrogen elements collected are enough, there will be as many hydrogen bombs as needed.

The manufacturing process of hydrogen bombs is so skilled that humans can't be more skilled. At this stage, only 1% of the manufacturing process requires human participation.

In fact, Yue Yuan only told Yu Nanfeng and the others about the general purpose. In fact, he even thought about how to arrange these self-destructing shuttles.

That is to disperse these self-destructing shuttles in the asteroid belt. When the fight really breaks out, they can be used as surprise troops.

If it weren't for the discovery that the opponent only has two types of battleships and residential ships, Yue Yuan would not have this idea, because these things are unlikely to break through the frigate defense circle.

Using the various parameters of human frigates as a reference simulation, you will know.

Although I don't know why the opponent's fleet only has battleships, since I have found an opportunity, I should use it.

After finalizing this matter, time passed in the humans' busy rush to work.

More than two years passed in a flash.

At this time, humans had completed all arrangements three months in advance, and then quietly waited for the unknown civilization fleet to enter the deceleration phase.

"Slow down, slow down!"

While waiting, waiting, while the fleet was still silent, a ray of light suddenly lit up somewhere in the space in that direction.

This ray of light crossed the dark space and reached the telescope that humans had been watching for a long time.

"It's the tail flame of the probe! Their probe has finally slowed down!"

The information observed by the telescope was immediately synchronized to the bridge of the Tianqin.

The people who had been holding their breath and waiting in the bridge also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally slowed down. If they didn't slow down, they would directly rush into the asteroid belt. By then, maybe before the other fleet slowed down, the probe would first discover the human warships hidden behind various asteroid fragments in the asteroid belt.
