Chapter 31: Lesson
The video of the asymmetrical air battle at that time appeared on the screen in front of me. I only saw that the three bounty hunter spaceships were uninhabited among the fleet of the fourth civilization. Their shields deal damage, even if they are equipped with infrared laser weapons, the lack of power will only cause a slight ripple on the shield.
On the other hand, the turbo laser cannons and blaster cannons of the three spaceships are absolutely one-shot kills against the blade fighters! 34 Fighters were destroyed, and 34 pilots were killed in action; 4 transport ships were destroyed, and 8 pilots were killed in action, which means they didn't even have a chance to escape!
"It wasn't until later that the visiting Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi came to their aid. Their spaceship piloting skills were very high, and they shot down all three of the bounty hunter's spaceships with one spaceship. Then they just left." Clement explained from the side.
Watching this tragic battle, Tang Xiao clenched his teeth, anger filled his heart, and under the influence of his force, the small objects around him trembled, as if a slight earthquake had occurred.
At the end of the video, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said after a long time: "Call Feng Yongwang and Guan Yan."
After the two scientists came over, he asked directly: "According to the current progress, how long will it take for the Phantom fighter to be successfully developed?"
"We are gradually speeding up the progress. After the two elite computer experts and engine experts joined, our progress has been further accelerated, but it is estimated that it will take half a year." After Feng Yongwang finished speaking, he glanced at the video and gritted his teeth. Said: "We will do our best to work overtime and even work around the clock to complete the research and development work."
"If you are busy, you will make mistakes. You should combine work and rest to complete the research and development at a normal speed. I don't want to make mistakes due to fatigue during the research process. It will be disastrous." Tang Xiao turned to Guan Yan after finishing speaking: "Continue Next, I need you to lead your team in two aspects of work."
"You say." Guan Yan nodded and replied.
"First, the small space dock should have been completed, and I need at least one usable light frigate to be able to enter our production line. Second, during this blank period, we need to further squeeze the potential of the blade fighter, and try to improve the combat effectiveness of this aircraft." Tang Xiao said.
Guan Yan nodded and replied, "As for the second one, we already have a plan now, Dr. Feng, tell me."
Feng Yongwang nodded and said: "We are analyzing the weapon system of the Wraith Fighter, and it should be completed soon. The main combat weapon of the Wraith Fighter is the Gemini missile, which is a very good air-to-air missile. After work, I will hand over the relevant results to Dr Guan's team to install this missile on the Blade fighter."
Guan Yan went on to say: "Then we are developing primary energy shields and small nuclear fusion engines. The technology in this area is relatively mature and should be available soon. By then, the energy supply of the blade fighter will be raised to a higher level." Correspondingly, the power of the infrared laser cannon can also be increased, and the equipment of the primary energy shield can also make the fighter even more powerful. It's just..."
"Tell me, I will try my best to solve any difficulties." Tang Xiao nodded and said.
"Insufficient manpower. Now our team has no free time to add more research projects. At present, the team analyzing the light frigate has only 6 people, which is far from enough. But increasing the number of staff also requires more laboratories, experimental equipment, and places, these will take time to build." Guan Yan said.
"I will try my best to satisfy the manpower and venue issues. Let's talk about the frigate issue first." Tang Xiao said.
"There are currently two primary light frigates to choose from, one is the Knight-class light frigate, and the other is the Hammer-class frigate. The former is 28.5 meters long and is a relatively versatile frigate with qualified firepower, speed, and armor. The Hammer class is 31.4 meters long, and it focuses more on armor protection and firepower. If you want to manufacture other frigate-class spaceships in the technology library, it will take more time to integrate the technology." Guan Yan replied.
"Give up on the Knight-class, and proceed directly to the analysis of the Hammer-class frigate. Spaceships of other technological systems are temporarily put on hold, and we will consider it when we have more teams." Tang Xiao made a decision directly.
"Okay, I ask the administrator to take more care of the personnel and the experimental site." After Guan Yan finished speaking, she and Feng Yongwang resigned.
Tang Xiao closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then opened his eyes, and said to Qi Jian: "The seized YV-865 Aurore-class cargo ship, arrange manpower for training as soon as possible, and train a crew to drive it as soon as possible. Or I think See if there are any elite drivers available to wake up."
"Yes." Qi Jian immediately agreed, "The wreckage of the other three bounty hunter spacecraft has been arranged for the recovery of the engineering spacecraft. At present, the recovered two turbo laser cannons can still be used. I plan to install these two cannons in a Go up a transport ship and use it as a gunboat to increase our firepower somewhat."
"You've done a good job, Qi Jian. You've tried your best, and it's not your fault. We didn't expect to be found so soon when we just came here. We had no choice." Tang Xiao said.
"No... Supreme Commander, this is my fault. I shouldn't have let our Fighters fight the pirates head-on... I let them die..." Qi Jian was extremely depressed and his body was shaking.
Tang Xiao walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe we will face even more tragic sacrifices in the future, but this is the path we need to walk. Let's grow together, Qi Jian, this is our first lesson. In the future, there will be more challenges waiting for us. Maybe today, because of your order, dozens of people will die, but maybe one day, thousands of people will die because of our words, This is our way. Treating human life as a number is both ironic and helpless."
Tang Xiao opened the personnel list, and he found that there are actually many pilots in the elite class who are on standby.
But for the time being, we can't use so many for the time being. It is really a waste of money to let these people fly the Blade Fighter. He only awakened one of them to pilot the YV-865 Aurore-class freighter, a black female pilot named Glory Judith.
Why is it a female pilot, who is black and has a nice name? It's not that Tang Xiao suddenly awakened to some unique XP, but because...
This product is completely a black tank! Looking at the information, she is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 172 kilograms, and she is not obese, that is to say, her body is full of lumps! In addition, her hobby is torturing people in the flight simulation training and then dragging them to the fighting arena for another brutal meal...
Tang Xiao decided on the spot that Judith and Quinto could be put into a team. If Quinto had any intentions, Judith would probably beat him up until his mother didn't even know him.
