In fact, everyone here got one thing wrong.
The shipbuilding plan that Lin Fan mentioned to support the Federation's interstellar fleet for a hundred years was not calculated based on the Federation's current shipbuilding capabilities.
Instead, it is calculated based on the estimated shipbuilding capabilities of the Federation that are increasing year by year.
For example, the Federation can produce 1 billion warships every year now, but will it also be 1 billion in a hundred years
As the population increases and the territory expands, it may be possible to produce tens of billions of ships per year in a hundred years!
Lin Fan's own estimate is that the Ai Luo metal in the Weiss galaxy cluster can provide the federation with at least 500 billion key materials for Nether-class battleships.
Moreover, this is based on the fact that the pioneer fleet is only briefly exploring. In fact, the reserves of Ai Luo metal in the Weiss galaxy group will only be greater!
Therefore, no matter what the considerations were, the Vis galaxy group was the most important strategic target in Lin Fan's eyes among the 27 galaxy groups.
"Okay, Lin Fan has explained the situation. What do you think of Star Fleet's plan?"
From the main seat, Lin Zhen clapped his hands as he looked at the shocked bosses below.
"Of course I support it!"
"Yes, we must support it!"
There were almost no objections, and everyone expressed support for the plan proposed by Lin Fan.
After all, there isn't a single idiot here.
Today's Federation is still under the threat of the Zerg. In order to deal with this threat, the Federation must have more powerful force.
Whether it's for the federation or for the interests of their respective families.
All the big guys had no choice but to support Lin Fan.
"good!"
"Since everyone agrees, then the subsequent actions will be decided by"
—
One month later.
Local Group of galaxies, satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, Large Magellanic Cloud.
This original Star Fleet headquarters, as a purely military galaxy, is also one of the satellite galaxies guarding the Milky Way. Even though it is no longer the headquarters of the Federation Fleet, it is still very important because
This is the garrison base camp in the federal core area.
Except for the 90% of the fleet stationed in the Mels Galaxy Group all year round, the Large Magellanic Cloud is the home base for the remaining 10% of the fleet.
Speaking of which, the commander of the Large Magellanic Cloud is still an acquaintance.
When Lin Fan first had his own fleet, one of his most capable commanders was Chris Rhodes!
On the bridge of the flagship Adam, Chris, who is already over a hundred years old, looks like he is only 30 years old.
Not only the appearance, but also the physical function test will give the same result.
This is an adult male around thirty years old!
He was a four-star admiral on the ship, and he was obviously the one with the highest military rank among Lin Fan's original commanders.
Looking at the starry sky in the distance through the porthole, Chris was a little excited!
After all, as a soldier, who doesn’t want to go to the battlefield and make achievements
Not only others would do this, but even all the officers and soldiers of the entire Federation Starfleet thought so.
However, since Galaxy System 1, humans have had no enemies.
Well, it can't be said that there are no enemies. After all, the Mels Galaxy Group has been fighting with the Zerg.
But the problem is, all that work has been taken away by the Dreadnought Fleet, and the main fleet sequence has nothing to do at all.
This stifled the entire federal fleet.
You know, for soldiers, the battlefield is what they yearn for.
To put it nicely, it is called protecting the family and the country. To put it more bluntly, it is the fastest way to promotion.
In an era without war, if you want to be promoted, you can only rely on seniority.
Although Lin Fan also disliked the seniority faction, and had personally promoted the overthrow of the seniority faction in the federal fleet.
However, when the war ended and the fleet had nothing to fight, staying senior seemed to be the only option.
Therefore, when a new round of expansion begins and the fleet sets off, everyone in the entire federal fleet, from the top commanders to the grassroots soldiers, is not excited!
"Commander, the first and second galaxy clusters of the first star fleet in the core area have completed preparations for the expedition and are ready to go at any time!"
The adjutant came to Chris, saluted and reported.
Although the federal core area, that is, the garrison in the Large Magellanic Cloud has ten galaxy clusters, which is a constellation-level fleet and a total of 10 billion warships.
However, not many fleets were arranged for the expedition to the Vis galaxy group.
After all, the federal core area also requires fleets to be stationed, and it is impossible to send out all fleets.
Therefore, for this expedition, Lin Fan only arranged two galaxy clusters, and Chris personally led the attack!
Of course, that doesn't mean that the remaining fleet has nothing to do.
After all, in the entire thirty-year plan, the Federation aims to capture all 27 galaxy groups in this area. There are still battles ahead, and the Federation fleet stationed in the core area can take turns to go out.
"What is the status of the fleet assembly of the affiliated civilization?"
"Commander, the assembly of the fleets of affiliated civilizations is currently 78% complete, and it is expected that they will be fully assembled in three days!"
Yes, for this expedition, Lin Fan not only mobilized the two galaxy clusters in the core area, but also issued war missions to the affiliated civilizations, thereby assembling an affiliated civilization fleet composed of 200 billion battleships.
After all, the two galaxy clusters of the Federation only have 2 billion battleships. Even if the Weiss galaxy cluster is full of dwarf galaxies with few stars, each galaxy still has at least several billion stars.
Although the number of stars is not equal to the number of star systems, it is definitely not something that only 2 billion warships can garrison!
Therefore, the Federation needs affiliated civilizations to provide a large number of fleets to garrison the areas that the Federation has captured.
And these 200 billion affiliated civilization fleets are only the first batch assembled.
After Chris leads the fleet to the Vis Galaxy Group and seizes the bridgehead, these fleets of affiliated civilizations will be continuously transported to the Vis Galaxy Group through the Federation's super star gate to share the federal garrison pressure!
"Very good. In addition, the engineering fleet should not hold back. Within three days, one hundred super star gates must be completed, otherwise it will affect our advancement speed!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After the explanation, Chris withdrew his gaze and turned towards his exclusive commander's position.
"Now I order the First and Second Galaxy Clusters of the First Star Group Fleet to immediately start the hyperspace engines, targeting the Weiss Galaxy Group and the Cassano Galaxy!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Commander, the first and second galaxy clusters have all completed the activation of hyperspace engines, and the target locations have been distributed!"
"Set off!"
"yes!"
