Chapter 1258 Taking the Initiative

Federal calendar year 1730.

Five years have passed unknowingly. Now the core civilization of the alliance is busy replacing its joint warships, and the other civilizations have begun to purchase the previous generation of federal standard warships from the Federation.

Only the Federation did not take any action.

The new generation of warships was originally planned to be put into production in 1728, but now, five years have passed, it has still not started.

The whole project is stuck.

There is no problem with the technology, but with the raw materials.

According to the designs of Jiang Xinlan and Bai Zhi, the new generation of Mosasaur-class general-purpose warships did meet the standards proposed by Lin Fan, but they were troubled by the problem of energy supply.

Although Luo Li designed a brand new battleship energy system, which passed the test and was finalized, problems arose during mass production.

One of the key materials can be produced in the laboratory, but cannot be mass-produced.

In the past two years, no suitable alternative material has been found.

Therefore, there were only three choices before Lin Fan.

First, continue to look for alternative materials and strive to achieve mass production as soon as possible.

Second, abandon the entire plan, start all over again, and redesign the energy core system of the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship.

Third, the plan for the Soryu-class general-purpose battleships was shelved and replaced with joint battleships.

"Luo Li, if we redesign a new energy system, how long will it take?"

“It should be completed in three years at the least, and five years at the most!”

“Can you ensure that you won’t encounter similar problems again?”

"I can only say that I'm 99% sure!"

Shaking her head, Luo Li replied.

She has the skills, but the problem is that the more advanced the technology, the more it is based on rare materials.

And this is the problem on the Federation's side. The Kunsa Realm is located on the edge of the black cavity. It has only been around for more than 10 billion years and is considered an extremely young black cavity world.

As for the surrounding black cavity worlds, the situation is roughly the same.

Therefore, the shortage of special resources is inevitable.

This also resulted in a large number of technologies in Luo Li's mind being unable to be realized due to resource limitations.

Therefore, rather than saying that Luo Li is developing a new energy system, it is better to say that he is looking for other ways to realize the existing technology in his mind with existing technology and limited resources.

It's like throwing a scientist onto a planet with only indigenous people.

"Well, let's prepare in two aspects!"

"On the one hand, the Federation Fleet will be equipped with joint warships from now on!"

"On the other hand, the Canglong-class general-purpose battleship project continues, and Luo Li, you are still trying to find a breakthrough!"

"If the Canglong-class general-purpose battleship project is successful, we will replace it with a new generation of battleships, and the already equipped joint battleships will be processed and resold to other civilizations!"

"But if the Canglong-class general-purpose battleship project still fails, then we will have no choice but to continue to replace it with a joint battleship!"

"After all, we don't have much time."

——

Since the last meeting, the federal fleet has also begun to change its equipment.

Of course, the Soryu-class project is still ongoing, and the current replacement is for the combined battleship, which is a last resort.

Soon, another five years passed.

Federal calendar year 1735.

When Luo Li was developing the all-new energy system, although she failed to complete her original idea, she happened to develop a brand new battleship energy core system, a technology that even the Great Xia Federation had never touched before.

Dual-core chaos energy core device!

This is a system that can absolutely synchronize two different chaos cores. Although each of the energy cores is lower than Lin Fan's requirements, when the two cores are completely synchronized and function at the same time, they can reach three times the requirements previously proposed by Lin Fan!

Now here comes the problem.

Before, it was a problem of insufficient energy supply, but now it has suddenly become a problem of energy surplus?

It doesn't matter. Bai Wei said that she had originally designed several weapon plans, but most of them were rejected due to insufficient energy supply.

But now, it seems that this problem has disappeared.

Therefore, the previous plans can be re-evaluated.

final.

Federal calendar year 1738.

After being delayed for eight years, the project of the Soryu-class general-purpose battleship was finally successful.

Lin Fan’s original requirement for this project was that the comprehensive performance reach 100% of the combined battleship.

However, after countless tests and battle simulations, Luo Li came up with a set of data.

That is, the comprehensive performance of the Soryu-class general-purpose battleships reached 578% of the joint battleships, far exceeding the requirements put forward by the Federation.

The most exaggerated thing is that the standard crew number of the battleship was directly reduced to 24 people.

This means that the Federation can form more fleets with the same number of people.

——

Federal calendar year 1833.

The cross-black cavity detection technology developed by Luo Li finally captured the army of the Noreya Empire.

A total of more than 7,000 fleets!

They marched towards the alliance territory in a mighty force.

"Everyone, according to the latest intelligence, the Noreya Empire has mobilized more than 7,000 legions and is heading towards us!"

"At present, there are only twenty black cavity realms left from our outer area. It is estimated that the war will break out in twenty years at most!"

"But this time, I decided to take the initiative!"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the military leaders of the various civilizations below began to make noise.

In fact, Lin Fan's words that he wanted to take the initiative to attack scared them.

In terms of defense, we still have the advantage of fighting within the universe, but if you take the initiative to attack, you will directly throw away all this advantage.

In terms of hard power, even though the civilizations in the alliance have already replaced their warships, the time is still too short!

In more than a hundred years, even if these civilizations tried their best, they only managed to form about 1,200 legions in total.

And what about the other party?

More than 7,000 troops!!!

Moreover, the overall combat capability of the battleship is similar to that of the combined battleship.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, defense is still the best option.

In particular, we can defend ourselves by taking advantage of the core civilization's advantage of not being excluded in the universe!

But what the hell is it that you want to take the initiative?

"Everyone, the enemy's route this time is the same as last time, and when the Noreya army arrives, the three Black Cavity Realms will also bear the brunt of the attack."

"But don't even think about fooling them this time!"

"So, if we still want to defend this front, we need to deploy our troops in the three black cavity realms."

"We already have insufficient troops, and now we are divided into three. What are we going to fight for?"

"So, I decided to set the final battle site here!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan opened a three-dimensional map of the black cavity space and pointed to one of the places.
