A week has passed since the Epsilon Eridani battle. Human beings, who have been suppressed for decades, can finally take a breath.
Epsilon Eridani is extremely important to humans, because Solar System is located on the edge of Orion Arm, which can be said to be a remote place.
And if you want to go out from Solar System, or attack Solar System from the outside, Epsilon Eridani is a strategic node that cannot be bypassed.
Therefore, as long as Epsilon Eridani is in human hands, Proxima, Barnard's Star and Solar System behind it are safe.
Of course, if the opponent is a level 4 or above civilization, mastering Warp Drive Engine is a different story!
However, Lin Fan knows that in the entire Orion Arm, there is only one Level 4 Civilization, and its location is a full 20,000 light years away from Solar System! People have no interest in the remote areas of Solar System.
Of course, even if there is no hatred, we have to fight, unless humans are prepared to stay in these four Star System and never get out.
Originally, after decades of extensive mining of Solar System Asteroid Belt resources, almost all the valuable ones have been mined.
Fortunately, Oakes Empire was driven out of Solar System in time, so that humans can go to Kuiper Belt to obtain resources.
Nowadays, resources can be obtained through Proxima, Barnard's Star and Epsilon Eridani, giving the federation resource guarantee for its subsequent shipbuilding plan!
Therefore, Presidential Palace held an emergency meeting and finally made three important decisions about the next five years.
1. First Fleet and Fourth Fleet are jointly responsible for the Star Path defense line of Epsilon Eridani.
2. Go all out to develop Proxima, Barnard's Star and Epsilon Eridani, including the infrastructure of Life Planet, the transformation of non-Life Planet, and the development of Resource Star!
Third, Federal Fleet massively expanded its army and rebuilt its second, Third Fleet organization.
4. Popularize genetic enhancement potions and Brain Development Potion to the entire federal population, spawn more scientists, and promote the explosive development of federal science and technology!
To put it simply, the first Fourth Fleet is guarding the Star Path of Tianyuan Four. On this basis, the Federation must fully develop and expand its military and prepare for war.
The fourth point is the most important. You must know that although Lin Fan has obtained several Level 4 Civilization technologies from the system, as far as the technology tree is concerned, this is very abnormal.
Except for Warp Drive Engine, Energy Shield and Nuclear Fusion, the federal technology is still in the early stage of Level 3 Civilization, while Oakes Empire is the mid-stage of Level 3 Civilization.
Even if it is the strongest warship in the Federation, to put it bluntly, it has the defense power and jump ability of Level 4 Civilization, but its attack power and speed are still Level 3 Civilization.
In other words, with the current 40,000 battleships, it is okay to defeat Oakes Empire's 100,000 battleships. If we encounter a Oakes Empire army with three to four hundred thousand battleships, then I'm sorry. Even if we can win, we will suffer huge losses, and even be disabled. And Oakes Empire does not only have one army!
After all, Energy Shield is not omnipotent. If it is focused on by dozens of warships, it will be destroyed in an instant!
This is also the reason why we can't start a full-scale war with the Oakes Empire yet. We can delay it as long as possible. Time is beneficial to mankind.
But Lin Fan is not prepared to delay for too long. After all, he has a system mission to destroy Oakes Empire within ten years. More than a year has passed now!
Lin Fan plans to wait for the completion of the first five-year plan before proceeding with the plan to attack Oakes Empire.
Uranus, in the simulated battle room.
"Li Cangqiong, you are exactly what I thought. Your fleet command talent is also not weak. Have you ever thought about following the path of Fleet Commander?"
"Can I?"
After several Fleet Simulation battles, Lin Fan discovered that his hunch was indeed correct.
Li Cangqiong In addition to Mech Piloting's extremely excellent abilities, his talent in fleet command is also excellent!
Although he has not been taught systematically and is no match for Lin Fan in the simulated battle, this does not affect Lin Fan's recognition of his talent!
"Well, if you wish, I can arrange for you to return to the Interstellar Military Academy and ask the dean to open a small stove for you to provide you with special training!"
"Yes, thank you Commander for your training, I am willing to return to the Interstellar Military Academy for further study!"
"Okay, it just so happens that there won't be any war in the next five years. You go back and wait for the news. I will arrange for you to go there in the next few days!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Li Cangqiong was a little excited. Since he was abused by Lin Fan last time and realized the difference, he has gradually become Lin Fan's little fanboy.
As a little fan of Lin Fan, what does he desire most? Just like Lin Fan, Fleet Commander like a military god, and Humanity's Strongest Mech Pilot, and he is also the most outstanding scientist in mankind.
Now that I have the opportunity to take a step forward on the road of Fleet Commander, this means that I can get closer to Lin Fan. How can Li Cangqiong not be excited?
In addition to Li Cangqiong, Xia Tina and Zhang Zhiwei have also been receiving training from Lin Fan recently. Now their strength can firmly rank third and fourth behind Guard Mech Squadron.
As for the first and second places, they are naturally Zhang Hu and Li Cangqiong. But according to Zhang Hu himself, Li Cangqiong is no less than him. In a few months, Guard Mech Squadron's strongest pilot will definitely be Li Cangqiong's.
And Emma is now the commander of the fourth team of First Division Fleet.
Under Lin Fan's special greeting, Chris also paid special attention to Emma on weekdays and often gave her some experience in fleet command.
Chris once told Lin Fan that Emma is the second most talented Fleet Commander he has ever seen, and the first is naturally Lin Fan.
As for why Liang Xingchen is not number one?
As Chris said, in terms of pure talent, Lin Fan and Emma are much better than Liang Xingchen!
Now Emma is only 21 years old. In a few years and with more actual combat experience, he will definitely be the strongest Fleet Commander among the younger generation besides Lin Fan!
Even Chris directly proposed to let Emma command a squadron. Now he only leads a squadron, which is really overqualified.
However, Lin Fan still refused for the time being. After all, Emma was only a major. Now commanding a squadron was already a low-ranking, high-ranking job. But because Lin Fan was there, no one in the fleet dared to say anything.
But if you want Emma to command the squadron now, that will be a big problem!
You must know that the squadron is usually commanded by Major General or a lieutenant general. Now directly pulling Emma up is very bad and may directly harm her!
Back then, Lin Fan was even more evil than Emma. Although he was promoted at a frighteningly fast speed, he was promoted based on actual military merit, so no one would say anything!
But Emma's situation is different. Lin Fan does not deny that her commanding talent is very high, but the key is that she has no military exploits at all now.
Chris also slapped his head about this, he took it too much for granted!
