257. Ten-year plan
After several days of discussion, Tang Xiao and the military management of Fourth Civilization officially came up with the first ten-year plan.
This plan will be divided into three steps:
The first step is to make sure that all spaceships in the technology tree of "Homeworld" are used for foreign trade. At present, the first step is to mass-produce the warships. On the one hand, they can be used by themselves, and on the other hand, they can be sold directly when they are no longer needed.
And at this stage, the proceeds from the sale of warships should be used to reach cooperation with other forces in the galaxy, and the technology of the warships should be exchanged for productivity. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of cooperating with some planets with developed industries and large populations, using the human and material resources of these planets to build warship production lines for themselves, and then selling warships to them at a low price.
Then Space Shipyard of Dawn Star Planet needs to be integrated. Professor Chi Jianjun means that we can learn from Quat Planet's approach, connect the current battleship docks together, and build a Star Ring around the planet. In this way, the entire Star Ring is a huge warship factory, where the construction of warships is completed.
At this stage, Fourth Civilization will build a large number of warships in the "Homeworld" system for transition, and will use this to improve its production system. Afterwards, these used battleships can be sold, and even the blueprints can be sold, as long as the profit is sufficient.
Regardless of the fact that the battleships in "Homeworld" are generally not as advanced as the advanced battleships in "Star Wars", but compared with the boasts of Naboo's ability to independently develop the N-1 star fighter, you can understand that Draon Planet is actually very eager for these even less advanced battleship blueprints.
As long as there is demand, you can sell it at a high price.
The second step is to determine the future fleet combat framework.
The interstellar fleet after Fourth Civilization will adopt the structure of a battleship strike group with aircraft carriers as the core. Mainly, it can maximize the combat power of fighter jets. Whether it is the current Wraith fighter or the X-wing fighter listed as a contender in the future by Tang Xiao, such an aircraft carrier strike group can maximize their power.
Therefore, in such a fleet, the aircraft carrier is the core and the construction of the aircraft carrier is also carried out in stages.
In this step, the main productivity of Fourth Civilization will be placed on the spaceship of the Emergency Traders Alliance in "Sins of a Solar Empire".
Mainly with Sova-class Carrier as the core, Kohl-class Battlecruiser and Durov-class Battlecruiser as auxiliaries, and Martha-class Dreadnought as the main assault force.
These are capital ships above 1,000 meters, supplemented by Ragnarok-class Titan which is already under construction and planned to be produced by Hego-Damask II. Such a fleet will be enough to cope with the early space battles of Clone Wars.
The third step will be to further improve combat capabilities in the future.
Because Sova-class Carrier has limited combat capabilities, it is necessary to further develop a stronger aircraft carrier. By this time, if the war situation and the political situation are as expected, they will go in two different directions.
One direction is the direction of the technology tree of the Amarr Empire in "EVE". In fact, this direction Professor Chi Jianjun is quite criticized. Because among the different branches of "EVE", the battleship technology of Caldari Republic is relatively similar to the current technology, and it is easier to analyze.
However, Tang Xiao said that Amarr Empire's warships mainly use laser weapons, so their warships have full consideration in terms of energy transmission and laser capacitors. The characteristic of the world of "Star Wars" - explosive laser weapons, when placed on a battleship is the Turbolaser cannon. This can actually be directly connected seamlessly with the Amarr Empire battleship.
In this way, there is no need to develop the crystal laser weapon of the Amarr Empire, but the explosive laser weapon can be used directly to save research and development costs.
As the Amarr Empire warship continues to be developed, whether it is the 3088-meter-long Consul-class aircraft carrier or the 5216-meter-long Eternal-class Super Carrier, it will greatly improve the strength of the Fourth Civilization fleet.
The other direction is the UNSC technology tree in "Halo".
The UNSC warships are not very advanced, but their technology has two advantages. The first is practical, and the second is widespread. Whether it is a huge amount of army equipment or intra-atmospheric combat equipment, or warship technology ranging from Saber fighter to Endless-class Super Carrier, they can meet the needs of all aspects.
The UNSC technology tree can basically guarantee the combat requirements in most situations, allowing Fourth Civilization's army to develop in an all-round way. The Army wouldn't have been clamoring all day that Tang Xiao was biased... Of course, he was indeed biased.
This step of the plan does not require completion within 10 years, but it does require paving the way and preparing for the possible escalation of the war at any time, as well as the establishment of the Galactic Empire!
According to Tang Xiao's current judgment, he is unable to stop the establishment of the Galactic Empire, but at the very least he must be prepared for this outcome.
In addition to these three stages of the 10-year plan, Fourth Civilization also needs to continuously study the technology in "StarCraft" and "Mass Effect" as a supplement. Because although the technology of these two systems is not complete, it is very practical in some places.
For example, the individual weapons and equipment in "Mass Effect" have not only begun to be installed in the army in large numbers, but also Omni-tool, which is practical for scientific researchers and engineers, has basically completed research and is ready to start production.
There are also SCV, Wraith fighter, Goliath Mech, Siege Tank in "StarCraft", as well as Minotaur-class Battlecruiser to be developed in the future, etc., which are also very practical.
Finally, there is the technology in "Stellaris". This exists as the basic technology of Fourth Civilization. Naturally, research and development cannot be stopped.
According to the vision of Tang Xiao, if this 10-year plan can be completed, then Fourth Civilization will be able to compete with Galactic Republic in a local conflict in the future Clone Wars. Next, they will be qualified to move forward and find their own place in the dark future of the galaxy.
As for after the 10-year plan, many things may be out of control by then. For example, once Galactic Empire is established, then the Imperial-class Star Destroyer group, Executor-class Star Destroyer, Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, and maybe even Death Star will follow. At that time, a new plan will be needed!
Others don't know, but Tang Xiao has a clear mind. Among those 5 billion Cryo-embryo, not all of them are human beings! There are about 500 million in them, from other races, for example...
Protoss, Sangheili, Vasari...
