"Wow! Is this going to play violent soldiers, or prepare to violent space battleships." Fang Yuan's eyes were bright, as if he could already imagine the spectacular scene.
Admiral Rod suddenly remembered one thing and said: "It turns out that this is what the Dawn-class project started with Beixiong Military Industry a few months ago."
"Cooperate with Beixiong Military Industry?" Fang Yuan looked sideways at General Luode, somewhat curious.
"A country alone produces space battleships, even if they produce them at full capacity, the speed will not be too fast. Cooperative production can speed up the production of battleships." Admiral Rhodes explained.
Fang Yuan understood that when he heard this, Mao Xiong's aerospace technology was actually very good.
Co-development of space battleships is a good direction.
Moreover, if you really want to play violent forces, and the violent ones are space battleships, then the productivity of a country alone is obviously not enough.
Then, let more countries join the manufacturing of space battleships, gather the power of all mankind, and promote the transformation of technology into combat effectiveness.
The East China Sea only needs to focus on manufacturing solar furnaces and some of the core components, and the rest is handed over to countries with strong scientific and technological strength such as Mao Xiong. The division of labor and cooperation are more efficient.
In fact, cooperative research and development projects are very common in a market economy.
There are relatively few international military-industrial cooperative research and development projects, but not without them.
Among the top fighters are those developed through international cooperation.
"Dawn Grade, how is the data?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"I heard that the design is the next level of the Shenzhou, which belongs to the space frigate level." Admiral Rod told the news.
"Space frigate? The hull should be smaller and faster, right?"
The space frigates in Fang Yuan's impression are usually small ships in the space fleet, mainly air-to-air, and while vying for air supremacy, they are escorting large ships in the fleet.
"According to the plan of the space fleet, it is true." Admiral Rod nodded.
"When can I see the Dawn-class space frigate?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"It should be soon. Your dad should know this. Didn't you call home the other day?" Admiral Rod asked curiously.
"He didn't say anything about it." Fang Yuan shrugged, and said: "And it's only three minutes to call, can you explain this clearly?"
"Yes, the news I heard is that this project has been going on for three or four months, and it must be smoothly distributed with the mature technology of the Shenzhou to a smaller space frigate."
The China Space Fleet has been participating in the war, and Admiral Rhodes has no time to learn about the rear, so these news are heard occasionally.
Fang Yuan looked at Yang Yuping and asked, "The Dawn-class space frigate is also equipped with a solar furnace? The professor should know the inside story, right?"
Yang Yuping coughed a few times and said: "I know that I know some. The demand for the inner wall materials of the solar furnace by the Military Academy of Sciences has indeed increased. I have also read the technical parameters. There is such a military project."
"There are technical parameters, what is the design of Dawn Grade?" Fang Yuan asked with bright eyes.
"From the design parameters seen, the length of the ship is 73 meters, the hull is more slender than the Shenzhou, the volume is only half of the Shenzhou, and the weight is lighter..."
Yang Yuping introduced the technical parameters of the Shuguang-class space frigate he saw, and then said: "I also only saw a rough design parameter. However, the Academy of Military Sciences has put forward some requirements for the solar furnace."
"any request?"
"The solar furnace is required to be more miniaturized."
"How many solar furnaces are installed in a Dawn class?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"The design is six solar furnaces. Judging from the theoretical parameters of the design, the Dawn-class speed is 30% faster than the Shenzhou." Yang Yuping replied.
The speed is 30% faster. It doesn't sound like it is much faster, but it is already a very exaggerated improvement when placed on a space battleship.
"So much faster?" Admiral Rod did not expect to be so much faster.
"The Dawn-class is positioned as a space frigate, and Shenzhou is positioned as a space destroyer. It is fast. However, the reason why it can be so much faster is also because Shenzhou is the first space battleship and is groping forward..."
Yang Yuping explained it a little bit: "The Dawn-class was developed under the mature technology of the Shenzhou, so it has stronger performance in all aspects. However, the difference in ship types doomed the Dawn-class to cooperate with the Shenzhou in combat.
"Furthermore, it is almost time for the Shenzhou ship to undergo a structural upgrade. If it goes well, all aspects of performance will improve."
Fang Yuan asked again: "Since the Dawn class is a space frigate, it needs a certain number to exert its power? How long will it take to build combat effectiveness?"
"It shouldn't take long. The solar furnace construction task issued by the Academy of Military Sciences is twenty-four a month." Yang Yuping gave a side answer.
Fang Yuan and General Luode listened, and their eyes widened again.
"Twenty-four solar furnaces a month, isn't it necessary to assemble four Dawn-class ships, four a month, are these dumplings?" Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
"Actually, it's okay. The two countries cooperate in production, and the Shenzhou has mature technology decentralized, and the productivity is inclined during wartime. Four ships a month are not particularly exaggerated." Yang Yuping smiled.
"How many solar furnaces have been completed now?" Fang Yuan wanted to know when he would see Dawn Grade join the battle.
"Last month, the first batch of Dawn-class adapted solar furnaces have been delivered, I think it will be soon." Yang Yuping replied.
...
After Admiral Rod returned to the front-line headquarters of the Ring Mountain, he held a small meeting, and then received an order from the East China Sea headquarters.
The crew of Shenzhou and Chixian were all rewarded, and then half of the crew were transferred back to the East China Sea.
The moment he saw the personnel's transfer order, Admiral Rod knew that the Dawn Class was coming.
Last time, when Chixian participated in the war, half of the Shenzhou crew was transferred.
At the moment, Shenzhou and Chixian have personnel transfer orders at the same time, which is obviously transferred back to fly the Shuguang-class space frigate.
The space fleet headquarters in the East China Sea has been training the crew of space battleships.
However, pure training cannot be compared with actual combat.
In terms of actual combat experience, each of the crew members of the Shenzhou and Chixian ships who have undergone actual combat is a treasure.
The crew of the Shenzhou and Chixian were transferred back, and the new and old crews were matched to quickly improve the combat effectiveness. At the same time, more combat-tested space warship crews were trained to accumulate talents for the future space fleet.
The captain of the Shenzhou was also transferred back, promoted to lieutenant general, and served as the chief instructor of the China Space Fleet.
Therefore, the position of the captain of the Shenzhou was vacant.
The Shenzhou has always been used as a special ship for the military research team. According to the original plan, the Shenzhou will be slowly handed over to the military research team.
It's just that the military scientific research class is too young and needs an experienced old captain to take along.
That's why the headquarters will call Yu Hong to be the captain of the Shenzhou.
