A week has passed since the battle in Tianyuan Four. Human beings, who have been suppressed for decades, can finally take a breath.
Ephesus is extremely important to humans because the solar system is located on the edge of the Orion Arm, which can be said to be a remote place.
If you want to leave the solar system or attack the solar system from the outside, Tianyuan 4 is a strategic node that cannot be bypassed.
Therefore, as long as Ephesus is in human hands, Proxima, Barnard, and the solar system behind it will be safe.
Of course, if the opponent is a level 4 or above civilization and has mastered the jump engine, it's a different matter!
However, Lin Fan knew that there was only one Level 4 civilization in the entire Orion Arm, and its location was a full 20,000 light-years away from the solar system! People have no interest in the remote areas of the solar system.
Of course, even if there is no hatred, we still have to fight, unless humans are prepared to stay in these four star systems and never leave.
Originally, after decades of extensive exploitation of the resources in the asteroid belt of the solar system, almost all the valuable resources have been exploited.
Fortunately, the Orx Empire was driven out of the solar system in time, allowing humans to go to the Kuiper Belt to obtain resources.
Nowadays, resources can be obtained through Linlin, Barnard and Tianyuan Four, which ensures the resources for the federation's subsequent shipbuilding plan!
Therefore, the Presidential Palace convened an emergency meeting and finally made three important decisions about the next five years.
1. The First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet are jointly responsible for the Star Road defense line of Tianyuan Four.
2. Go all out to develop Link, Barnard and Tianyuan IV, including the infrastructure of living planets, the transformation of non-living planets, and the development of resource stars!
3. The federal fleet will be greatly expanded and the establishment of the second and third fleets will be rebuilt.
4. Popularize gene enhancement potions and brain development potions to the entire federal population, spawn more scientists, and promote the explosive development of federal science and technology!
To put it simply, the First and Fourth Fleets guard the Star Way of Tianyuan Four. On this basis, the Federation must fully develop and expand its military to prepare for war.
The fourth point is the most important. You must know that although Lin Fan has obtained several fourth-level civilization technologies from the system, as far as the technology tree is concerned, this is very abnormal.
Except for jump engines, energy shields and nuclear fusion, the Federation's technology is still in the early stages of level three civilization, while the Oaks Empire is in the middle stage of level three civilization.
Even if it is the strongest warship in the Federation, to put it bluntly, it has the defense power and jump ability of a fourth-level civilization, but its attack power and speed are still that of a third-level civilization.
In other words, with the current 40,000 warships, it is okay to defeat the Oaks Empire's less than 100,000 warships. If we encounter an Oaks Empire Legion with 30,000 or 400,000 warships, then I'm sorry, even if we can win, we will suffer huge losses. Even he himself was disabled, and the Oaks Empire did not only have one legion!
After all, the energy shield is not omnipotent. If it is focused on by dozens of warships, it will be destroyed in an instant!
This is also the reason why we can't start a full-scale war with the Oaks Empire yet. We can delay it as long as possible. Time is beneficial to mankind.
But Lin Fan was not prepared to delay for too long. After all, he had a systematic mission to destroy the Oaks Empire within ten years. More than a year had already passed!
Lin Fan planned to wait for the completion of the first five-year plan before proceeding with the plan to attack the Oaks Empire.
Ouranos, in the simulated battle room.
"Li Cangqiong, you are just as I thought. Your fleet command talent is also not weak. Have you ever thought about following the path of a fleet commander?"
"Can I?"
After several fleet simulated battles, Lin Fan found that his hunch was indeed correct.
In addition to his excellent mecha driving ability, Li Cangqiong's fleet commanding talent is equally excellent!
Although he had no systematic teaching and was no match for Lin Fan in the simulated battle, this did not affect Lin Fan's recognition of his talent!
"Well, if you wish, I can arrange for you to return to the Interstellar Military Academy and ask the dean to open a small stove for you to conduct special training for you!"
"Yes, thank you Commander for your training, I am willing to return to the Interstellar Military Academy for further study!"
"Okay, it just so happens that there won't be any war in the next five years. You go back and wait for the news. I will arrange for you to go there in the next few days!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Li Cangqiong was a little excited. Ever since he was abused by Lin Fan last time and realized the difference, he has gradually become Lin Fan's little fanboy.
As a little fan of Lin Fan, what does he desire most? Just like Lin Fan, he is a fleet commander like a military god, the strongest pilot in mankind, and the most outstanding scientist in mankind.
Now that he has the opportunity to take a step forward on the road of fleet commander, this means that he can get closer to Lin Fan. How can Li Cangqiong not be excited
In addition to Li Cangqiong, Xia Tina and Zhang Zhiwei have also been receiving training from Lin Fan recently. Now their strength can firmly rank third and fourth in the Guards Mecha Squadron.
As for first and second place, they are naturally Zhang Hu and Li Cangqiong. However, Zhang Hu himself said that Li Cangqiong was no less than him. In a few months, the strongest pilot in the Guards Mecha Squadron would definitely be Li Cangqiong.
And Emma is now the commander of the Fourth Squadron of the First Squadron.
Under Lin Fan's special greeting, Chris also paid special attention to Emma and often gave her some experience in fleet command.
Chris once told Lin Fan that Emma was the second most talented fleet commander he had ever seen, and the first was naturally Lin Fan.
As for why Liang Xingchen is not number one
As far as Chris said, in terms of pure talent, Lin Fan and Emma are much better than Liang Xingchen!
Emma is only 21 years old now. In a few years and with more actual combat experience, Emma will definitely be the strongest fleet commander among the younger generation besides Lin Fan!
Even Chris directly proposed to let Emma command a squadron. Now only leading a small squadron is a bit overkill.
However, Lin Fan still refused for the time being. After all, Emma was only a major, and now commanding a squadron was already a low-ranking, high-ranking job. However, because Lin Fan was there, no one in the fleet dared to say anything.
But if you want Emma to command the squadron now, that will be a big problem!
You must know that squadrons are usually commanded by major generals or lieutenant generals. It is very bad to directly drag Emma up now, and it may directly harm her!
Back then, Lin Fan was even more evil than Emma. Although he was promoted at a frighteningly fast rate, he was promoted based on actual military merit, so no one would say anything!
But Emma's situation was different. Lin Fan did not deny that her commanding talent was very high, but the key was that she had no military exploits at all.
Chris also slapped his head at this, he took it for granted!
