70 years of the federal calendar.
Three years have passed since the selection of the commander of the first regiment.
In the past three years, the development speed of the Federation has been amazing. With the popularization of brain development drugs, all kinds of general technologies have exploded like a blowout, and new technologies have been published almost every day.
Of course, this only refers to general science and technology, mostly civil technology, while key technologies are not so easy to break through.
However, even so, the general technology of the Federation can be comparable to that of the middle and late stage of the third level civilization, which is already a great thing.
We need to know which of the general three-level civilizations has not experienced thousands or even tens of thousands of years before it can reach the level of the middle or even later stage?
However, more than ten years ago, human beings just stepped into the stage of three-level civilization. Only more than ten years later, they have crossed the road of other civilizations for thousands of years.
In fact, if we want to be more serious, it should take only five years. After all, the federal government began to popularize brain development drugs five years ago, and then there was a big explosion of technology.
In terms of key technologies, there is actually not much progress compared with three years ago, but in terms of energy shields, jump engines, energy weapons and so on, they are no weaker than the initial level 4 civilization.
Of course, if you want to compare with the old level 4 civilization, there is still a big gap.
In terms of energy weapons, the main guns of the federal warships are slightly better than those of the Holy Shield warships of the oaks empire. You should know that the Holy Shield warships are castrated products sold by the babavi Empire, which is far from the use of the babavi Empire itself.
It is worth mentioning that the warship composition of the two major federal legions has undergone another major change, and the warships are more unified. Except for the flagship, there is only one kind of warship in today's federal main fleet, that is, Orca class battleship. As for the air carrier main fleet, it is no longer equipped and has been replaced by the local police fleet.
And the culprit is the mecha.
As I have said before, today's mecha has no effect in the face of class IV civilized warships. After all, the weapons are too small and the power is too weak!
You can't have a mecha carrying a warship's main gun, can you? After all, the caliber of the warship's main gun is more than ten meters. Who can carry it?
And even if you can carry the main gun, do you have to carry a warship level nuclear fusion device with you? Or are you sure you have enough energy to fire?
Because of this reason, the sound of no longer developing mecha and canceling the formation of mecha in the Starfleet caught fire. At that time, the Federation almost threw the mecha into the garbage!
However, there was a strong voice of opposition at that time. After all, the mecha was not only used as attack warships, but also used for airborne operations and fortress strategic operations.
In fact, since the energy shield, the federal fleet has never used mecha to fight against ships.
Therefore, the final result is to temporarily retain the fleet establishment and the R & D team of the fleet, but no longer set up carrier carriers for the fleet, because this is a waste of fleet establishment.
Instead, the mecha Corps is scattered in each killer whale class battleship. Because of this, at the beginning of the design of the killer whale class battleship, a mecha library and corresponding ejection ports were designed in it.
Today, each Orca class battleship carries a squadron of 300 units, which is consistent with Lin Fan's flagship Uranus.
After this change, there is an advantage, that is, the whole fleet has no reduction in mecha, but it has saved the establishment of 2000 warships. At the same time, the construction number of Orca class has also increased from 432000 to 480000!
In other words, the main force of the Federation now has a 10 million ton heavy battleship (commander's flagship), 11 8 million ton heavy battleships (commander's flagship of the second to the twelfth fleet), and 240000 Orca class battleships.
There are 892 crew members for the operation of the Orcas and 892 crew members for each division.
Therefore, each standard main fleet has a full complement of more than 30 million people, while a full complement Legion needs 400 million people to operate.
If it were more than ten years ago, mankind would not have been able to provide so many people to support the two legions. After all, the two legions will need 800 million people when they are full, plus the local guard fleet, the ground forces of various planets, as well as the personnel of various star ports, fortresses and so on.
What is the concept of more than one billion? Today, the entire human population is only 15 billion people, more than one billion soldiers, that is one tenth of the total human population.
The most important thing is that Starfleet is not just for anyone, it needs more than one billion age-matched and highly professional talents!
This is an impossible thing, but the emergence of gene enhancer makes it possible!
Many veterans in their 60s, 70s or even 80s have increased their life expectancy and recovered their physical functions after using gene fortified drugs.The vast majority of the elderly people can recover their physical functions in their 30s and 40s after use, so a large number of retired veterans quickly returned to the Starfleet after simple training.
Today's Federation, not to mention the full formation of two legions, is to have a full formation of four legions. If we want to squeeze them together, we can gather enough people.
In addition, through selling equipment to the Kabat Empire and the IOU Federation, the Federation has become a veritable giant in recent years. Now the wages of the Starfleet are notoriously high.
What's more, who can resist the temptation of the big ship cannon? Who doesn't have a dream to command a warship or even a fleet in the position of captain? Who doesn't expect to become a human military God like Liang Xingchen or Lin Fan one day?
Well, the most important thing is that once a media went to the IOF for an interview, the content of which was about the conditions of choosing a mate for an angel girl.
As a result, other girls said, they do not like cowardly men, only like the brave men on the battlefield!
Later, when this interview was broadcast in the Federation, the recruitment sites of all planets in the Federation were almost flattened by the crazy crowd.
Moreover, don't think that only human men do this, and even a large number of women also participate in it. It can only be said that angel girls are really men and women killing type!
In a word, these things make the Federation have no shortage of soldiers at all.
Especially with the new intelligent industrial robots, the labor force has been completely liberated.
