Federation Year 70 years.
Three full years have passed since the selection of the first Legion Commander.
The development speed of the Federation in the past three years is simply staggering. At the moment when Brain Development Potion 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, most of which are civilian technologies, and key technologies are not so easy to break through.
However, even so, the general technology of the Federation can match the mid-to-late stage of Level 3 Civilization, which is already a very remarkable thing.
You need to know which ordinary Level 3 Civilization has not experienced thousands or even tens of thousands of years before it can reach the mid-term or even late-stage level?
However, human beings had just entered the Level 3 Civilization stage more than ten years ago. In just over ten years, they have already crossed the path that other civilizations have followed for thousands of years.
In fact, if we want to be more serious, it should only take five years. After all, the Federation began to popularize Brain Development Potion 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 Shield, Warp Drive Engine, energy weapons, etc., they are actually no weaker than the early Level 4 Civilization.
Of course, if you want to compare it with the veteran Level 4 Civilization, the gap is still quite big.
Apart from anything else, in terms of energy weapons, the main guns of the Federation's battleships are now slightly stronger than those of the Oakes Empire Aegis Warship. You must know that Aegis Warship is a castrated product sold to it by the Babawi Empire, which is far from what Babawi Empire itself uses.
It is worth mentioning that the composition of the warships of the two major federal armies has once again undergone major changes, and the warships have become more unified. In addition to the flagship, the current federal main fleet only has one type of warship, and that is Orca-class Battleship. As for the main aircraft carrier fleet, it is no longer equipped, and has been eliminated and used by the local Garrison Fleet.
The culprit behind all this is the mecha.
As I said before, today's mechas are completely useless when facing the Level 4 Civilization battleship. After all, the weapons are too small and the power is too weak!
You can't let a mecha carry a battleship's main gun, right? After all, the caliber of the battleship's main gun is more than ten meters. Who can carry it?
And even if you can carry the main gun, do you still need to carry a battleship-level Nuclear Fusion device with you? Otherwise, are you sure you have enough energy to fire?
Because of this reason, it was no longer possible to develop mechas, and the voice of canceling the mecha organization in Interstellar Fleet became a big hit. The Federation at that time really almost threw the mechas into the garbage!
However, there was also a lot of opposition at the time. After all, mechas were not simply used to attack warships, but were used more for planetary airborne operations, fortress raiding operations, etc.
Speaking of which, since the creation of Energy Shield, Federal Fleet has really never used mechas in anti-ship combat.
Therefore, the final result is to temporarily retain the mecha establishment and retain the mecha research and development team, but no longer set up a carrier carrier specifically for mechas, because this is a waste of fleet establishment.
Instead, the mecha legions were dispersed within each Orca-class Battleship. Because of this, at the beginning of the design of the Orca-class Battleship, a mecha depot and corresponding ejection ports were designed inside it.
Now each Orca-class Battleship carries a squadron of mechas, which is 300 units, which is the same as the former flagship Uranus of Lin Fan.
One benefit after this change is that the entire fleet of mechas has not been reduced, but it has saved 2,000 warships. At the same time, the number of killer whales built has also increased from 432,000 to 480,000!
In other words, now that the Federation's Main Legion is fully equipped, it has one 10-million-ton heavy battleship (Legion Commander flagship), 11 8-million-ton heavy battleships (the commander's flagship from second to Twelfth Fleet), and 240,000 Orca-class Battleship.
In terms of personnel, the standard personnel of each Orca-class Battleship is 892 people. Of course, this is only the personnel to 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 full strength of more than 30 million people, while a full army requires a full 400 million people to operate.
If it were more than ten years ago, humans would definitely not be able to provide so many people to support the two legions. After all, the two legions will need 800 million people when fully staffed. Add in the local Garrison Fleet, the ground troops of various planets, as well as the personnel of various star ports, fortresses, etc., there is no need to think about more than one billion.
What is the concept of more than one billion? Today, the entire human population only has a population of 15 billion and more than one billion soldiers, which is one-tenth of the entire human population.
The most important thing is that Interstellar Fleet is not just a random person, it requires more than one billion highly professional talents of the right age!
This was originally an impossible thing, but the emergence of genetic enhancement potions made it possible!
Many retired soldiers who were in their 60s, 70s, or even 80s have had their lifespans increased and their physical functions continued to recover after using genetic enhancement drugs.
Most elderly people can restore their physical functions to those in their thirties and forties after using it, so a large number of veterans who have been retired for a long time quickly returned to Interstellar Fleet after simple training.
Today's federation, let alone two large legions, even if it wants to fully staff four legions, it can still gather enough people if it is squeezed.
In addition, the Federation has transformed into a veritable giant by selling equipment to the Kabart Empire and Io Federation over the years. Interstellar Fleet's salary is now famously high.
Besides, who can resist the temptation of giant ships and cannons? Who doesn't have the dream of sitting in the captain's position and commanding a battleship or even a fleet? Who doesn't hope that one day he can become a human military god like Liang Xingchen or Lin Fan?
Well, the most important thing is that once a media went to Io Federation for an interview, and the content was about the requirements for choosing a mate for Angels girl.
So, the girls said that they don't like cowardly men, they only like brave men on the battlefield!
Later, when this interview was broadcast in the federation, the recruitment points on all planets in the federation were almost trampled by crazy crowds.
Moreover, don't think that only human men do this, there are even a large number of women who do the same. It can only be said that angel girls are really the type of men and women who kill each other!
All in all, these series of things mean that the Federation has no shortage of soldiers at all.
Especially now that the new smart Industrial Robots has completely liberated the labor force.
The author is out on HIGH today, so I posted it a little late. Please try to post Chapter 5 before six o'clock!
