Chapter 868

Although the original plan was to launch a counterattack after the completion of the Nantianmen plan, because the development and construction cycle of the large-scale Aerospace strategic carrier platform was somewhat too long, when European countries, even Lucia and Yanguo were ready for counterattack, the construction progress of the Luan bird large-scale Aerospace strategic carrier platform was still not even half.

After three years of testing and R & D, the theoretical research and development, as well as various tests and designs of the large Aerospace strategic carrier platform have been completed.

In the whole process of R & D and design, 3D printing technology has played an important role.

This technology makes the manufacturing of test prototypes much easier and greatly shortens the construction period, which can shorten the whole R & D and design process to three years, and start the construction of this super aircraft immediately after the design and development is completed.

It is more difficult than anyone can imagine to build a behemoth equivalent to at least four aircraft carriers.

Not to mention anything else, just the plant itself that can accommodate this behemoth can be regarded as a super project.

Without considering the demolition of the plant, it is also necessary to consider the problem of leaving the plant after the construction of the Luan bird large space strategic aircraft platform is completed.

Therefore, in addition to having enough space to accommodate a behemoth more than 600 meters wide and more than 200 meters long, the plant should also have a super gate at least 700 meters wide and comparable to a long-span suspension bridge.

It is difficult for designers and construction units to build such a plant in a conventional way.

However, there are always more ways than difficulties. After some attempts and research, the plant was erected and successfully completed.

If it is unrealistic to build a 700 meter wide gate, try a more realistic design.

Therefore, the design team designed the whole plant with the top fully open. After the completion of construction, the Luan bird large-scale Aerospace strategic carrier platform did not translate out of the plant from the ground, but directly took off and left the plant from the openable ceiling on the top of the plant.

This has undoubtedly greatly solved the construction problem of the plant, and such a huge plant can also be used as the hangar and maintenance site of Luan bird after it is retained.

After all, it's not easy to build such a large plant. It's too wasteful to dismantle it. Luan bird itself also needs hangar and maintenance site. It's a good choice to keep it.

Relying on 3D printing technology, the construction of the plant is also very fast, and the construction of Luan bird starts at the same time as the construction of the plant.

By the time the plant is fully completed, some basic parts of Luan bird have also been manufactured.

As for parts, it is also compared with the huge size of Luan bird. Some completed parts will not be smaller than a large civil airliner.

As for the most important wing skeleton, the 300 meter long skeleton, even if printed with 3D printing equipment, takes a lot of time to complete, and requires a special site. Therefore, the construction progress of Luan bird is not fast.

According to the expectation of construction progress, it will take about one year to basically complete the construction of the whole Luan bird, and then it will take about one year to outfitting. Finally, the training and running in of crew members will take about one or two years.

It will take at least three to five years for the whole Luan bird large-scale Aerospace strategic carrier platform to be put into actual combat.

But Europe can't wait.

During the three years when Luan bird was built and European countries were preparing to fight back, European countries tried to fight back several times on a small scale.

Three years is enough for European countries to complete the dressing of all their armies, and they have also purchased some small land ships and mobile bases from Yanguo, which has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army.

Relying on these troops with improved combat effectiveness, they tried to counterattack in some areas where the previous defense lines were broken and concave, trying to flatten the defense lines and push them back to their original positions.

Such counterattacks have achieved certain results. Although not every counterattack can achieve the expected operational objectives, with such attacks bit by bit, Europe has recovered some lost ground and gradually leveled the original uneven defense line like a dog's bite into a straight line.

They succeeded in bringing back most of the previously occupied areas of the whole defense line, and even played some prominent parts.

This gave Europeans a lot of confidence. They even began to formulate a counter offensive plan. The whole plan was written in great detail, which made people mistakenly think that they were preparing for a world war.

The Yanguo side also tried to carry out some attacks, starting from the completed defense line in the Middle East, and attacked the Cyprus Island close to Aleppo.

Because of the weak offensive of alien creatures in this direction, the joint force composed of Yanguo and the Middle East army successfully occupied the island of Cyprus and established a solid base on it.

Although alien creatures are powerful, their threat to humans has actually decreased a lot after humans can kill effectively and have shields to resist attacks.

The success of the Yanguo attack can well explain the problem.

After the improvement of human military science and technology, alien creatures can only rely on quantity to resist human attack.

This has also greatly encouraged countries to launch a counterattack and completely eliminate alien organisms from the blue star. At the same time, some European countries do not want to wait any longer.

After all, we have waited for three years. If we wait another three years, the morale of the people will be consumed.

Both Yanguo and Lucia are aware of this situation. After assessing the power currently available to mankind, although the two countries still do not agree to start a large-scale counterattack immediately, they do not oppose a small-scale counterattack in local areas first.

For example, recover the love sea area and the Apennine peninsula.

Before, the two regions, one because of the rise of sea level and the other because of their geographical location surrounded by the sea on three sides, were quickly occupied when alien creatures invaded.

European countries had a hard time defending alone, so there was naturally no way to face the fall of these two regions.

But now with the power to fight back, European countries certainly want to recover their lost land.

In particular, the Apennine peninsula is located in the middle of the whole Mediterranean. If we can recover the lost land, we can completely divide the whole Mediterranean into two parts, divide the forces of alien creatures into two, and then annihilate them region by region.

This strategy was soon adopted, and European countries began to gather forces. This time, Lucia also sent her troops to the peninsula of Asia Minor, ready to join the army of Yanguo here, and then launch an attack on the love sea area.
