Mars orbit First Fleet star port group.

After finishing his speech and announcing the disbandment, Lin Fan looked at Emma in the audience.

To be honest, just like Emma's good looks and figure, even if you don't look for it deliberately, you will notice it casually when you look around.

However, Emma obviously had his own pride. When the disbandment was announced, he immediately turned around and left to report to the Fleet Staff Headquarters.

For her, she will rely on her own efforts and strength to finally come to Lin Fan's side. Before that, she will not forcefully go to Lin Fan's side!

"Still as arrogant as ever!"

Lin Fan looked at Emma who turned around and left, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Commander, we are going to observe the testing of new warships."

"Well, let's go!"

New warship, this is a new generation warship designed by the Federation using Warp Drive Engine, Nuclear Fusion energy and Energy Shield. The finalized name is Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser.

Based on the application of new technologies, the Federation's future battleships will be unified (excluding aircraft carriers), and there will no longer be frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.

After all, with Warp Drive Engine, Nuclear Fusion energy, and even Energy Shield, the fleet only needs one comprehensive warship.

Therefore, Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser was born. This is a new type of Battlecruiser, which integrates attack, defense and speed. It far exceeds all previous ship types in every aspect!

Lin Fan and Liang Xue took Uranus to the test airspace, and entered Research Ship, who was already waiting here, through a traffic boat.

"Lin Fan, are you here?"

"Well, I just finished the matter of the new recruits and came over immediately."

"Elder Bai, let's start!"

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me!"

Since Liang Xingchen directly cut off Bai Zixuan's communication last time, now he is full of anger when he sees Liang Xingchen!

"Start the experimental ship Energy Shield!"

"Yes Energy Shield has been activated!"

Lin Fan looked at the screen, and could vaguely see that a light blue force field appeared outside the Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser, wrapping the entire battleship.

"Check the energy output of Nuclear Fusion and the maintenance of the energy shield"

"Report, Nuclear Fusion energy output is stable, and shield maintenance only takes up 2% of the maximum energy output!"

"Very good, let's start the next item, Lin Fan, it's up to you!"

"Okay!"

This is why Lin Fan specially sent Uranus here. Since we want to test it, we will use one of the strongest battleships in the Federation!

"Uranus, I am Lin Fan. I now order Main Cannon to fire three consecutive shots at the experimental ship!"

"Uranus understand! The target has been locked. Firing is in progress!"

Uranus, which was 3 million kilometers away from the experimental ship, began to gather energy on the main gun, and then an energy projectile was shot out and flew towards the experimental ship. Then the second and third rounds were fired continuously within a few seconds!

"Report, the three consecutive shots have been completed! It is expected to hit the target in 7 seconds!"

"Okay, stay on standby!"

"Yes!"

A few seconds later, the first energy bomb slammed into the experimental ship, but was completely blocked by the light blue shield and did not cause any damage! Then, the second and third rounds also arrived one after another.

"Report, the shield completion rate dropped to 92%, 84%, and 76%!"

"Okay, check the shield recharge speed!"

"Understood! Direct 80% of the Nuclear Fusion energy output to the energy shield device and start recharging!"

"Report, the recharging speed is stable at one percent every five seconds!"

Why only use 80% of energy output?

After all, the battleship itself also needs energy, the energy for firing the ship's guns, the energy for the battleship's engine, etc. You can't use 100% of the energy on the shield, can you?

"Commander Liang, it seems that the expected results have been achieved!"

Lin Fan listened to the data report from the scientific research team, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Liang Xingchen who was full of excitement.

"Haha, yes, according to this data, when confronting the Oakes Empire warship, it should be able to withstand at least 20 consecutive shots from the opponent's main gun! When a large number of Snow Leopards form an army, even if the Adams is used head-on, I won't worry anymore."

"Speaking of Adams, I think there may be changes!"

"How to say?"

"We learned before that Ninth Prince is the most doting son of Emperor Oakes Empire. What are the two choices the Emperor is most likely to make after his death?"

"Tell me about it!"

"One possibility is to directly execute Adams, or even execute the entire fleet to vent their anger! Then use other fleets to attack the Federation."

"There is a possibility. If this is the case, I can breathe a sigh of relief. What we need now is time!"

"Commander Liang, the other possibility is that we may not be able to relax. If it were me, I would still want Adams to die. I would not execute him directly, but order him to lead the remaining army to advance without retreating, attack desperately, and let him die on the battlefield."

Liang Xingchen's expression changed after hearing what Lin Fan said.

That's right, they have to be executed anyway, why not let them attack desperately, die on the battlefield, and exert their final warm-up!

If so, it would be a bit troublesome. After all, an army that is not afraid of death is the most difficult to deal with when there is not much difference in weapons.

Take the tactics used by Lin Fan in Asteroid Belt as an example. If Adams was ready to die at that time and had not thought about going back, then he would not choose to retreat, but directly continue to move forward.

In this way, the outcome of the entire battle will be completely changed, and Fourth Fleet will be completely defeated.

"Commander Liang, actually I don't think you need to worry too much. As far as I know, Oakes Empire's communication methods are not much more advanced than those of the Federation. Waiting for the news to reach the emperor's ears and then issuing the order to Adams cannot be done in a short time. According to my estimation, it will take at least 2 or 3 months to get the results."

"That's what you said, but just in case, we need to prepare now!"

"Indeed, we cannot let them have the same opportunity as last time to cross Asteroid Belt. At present, in terms of military strength, the opponent is still twice ours. If we want to defeat Adams's remnant army at the minimum cost, the battlefield must be placed within Asteroid Belt."

"Well, in this case, I will make arrangements to increase the monitoring of Asteroid Belt!"

"Okay!"
