The Wandering Planet

After a short flight faster than the speed of light, the Wannian Fengxue successfully returned to hyperspace.

However, it did not return directly to the wandering earth, but docked in the space dock built on the new satellite in the wandering earth orbit - the Eye of Gehros, which is the base of the human space fleet.

In fact, it should no longer be called the Eye of Gehros, because the coalition government has already chosen an official name for this earth satellite-New Moon, which can be called New Moon, or New Moon Star, Anyway, that's the new name for the Eye of Ghroth.

It is undeniable that the name is simple and rude, but it has won the support of the most people.

After all, in cultures all over the world, the moon always represents longing, and now people place this longing on this new earth satellite, and "Crescent Moon" has naturally become the name with the highest number of votes.

Qiao Li also thinks this name is quite good, at least much better than the long and stinky name of Eye of Gehros. So from that day on, this new Earth satellite was officially named Crescent Moon.

After the Wannian Fengxue landed in the space dock, Qiao Li walked out of the hatch, and then went down a long space elevator all the way down to the surface of the new moon.

After a month of construction, the space facilities here have been preliminarily perfected. A large continuous dome-style airtight chamber, groups of solar power generation panel arrays, mineral generators relying on heavy nuclear fusion technology to generate electricity, and various other industrial or military facilities.

It seems that this place has become a city on the surface of the moon. It mainly maintains transportation with the wandering earth through the planetary engine transmission tower that looks like a metal mountain in the distance.

When the amount of things that need to be transported is particularly large, it will also be transported by launching a launch vehicle, just like the sea transport on the earth, to supplement the insufficient transport capacity of the transmission tower.

With the space elevator as the center, there are other space facilities within a radius of 500 kilometers, all of which are much smaller than the dock where the Wannian Fengxue docked.

They are scattered here and there, like nomadic tents on the prairie in the early days of the development of the American West, a prelude to the mass entry of humans into space.

Among them, the space dock that has just started construction is the largest, and its volume may be dozens of times that of the Wannian Fengxue, but so far only a construction frame has been erected, like the skeleton of a giant beast.

This is used to build higher-level interstellar battleships, such as the space battleships such as the Ark.

At present, the daily maintenance of the Ark still needs to be carried out on the ground, which is not only troublesome but also inefficient. It can be called maintenance for five minutes and two hours. This is one of the reasons why the Wandering Earth rarely uses the Ark.

With this space dock large enough to accommodate battleships, the daily maintenance of the Ark will become much more convenient. In space, without being bound by gravity, many operations that are very troublesome on the ground will become a breeze.

This is the Crescent Base of the Wandering Earth, which can be described as an outpost for human space development. It can also act independently from the Earth when necessary. It has now been recognized as the headquarters of the future human space fleet.

The person in charge of managing here is George, the British representative among the permanent council representatives of the coalition government. He is also the main person in charge of the construction of the space force on the wandering earth. Fleet management and construction are his strengths, but what needs to be built now is a space fleet .

After Qiao Li arrived on the surface of the planet, he came to the headquarters of the New Moon Base to say hello to him, and it happened to be a chance to find out what happened on the wandering earth during his absence.

George greeted him warmly, and personally introduced to Qiao Lv the current situation on the Wandering Earth and the Crescent Base.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult this time." George said with emotion, "The enemy actually brought down the moon."

Qiao Lu nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to the support of Wannian Fengxue, otherwise we would have had to give up that plane."

This time, the Wannian Fengxue played a key role at the last moment. The importance of developing a space fleet can be seen. It is impossible for a qualified space civilization to have no interstellar warships.

George continued: "We are also preparing for the construction of the next interstellar warship. The initial plan is a destroyer-class warship, which is expected to be three times the size of the Wannian Fengxue. We hope to further strengthen the combat capabilities of our space force."

Following the direction of his line of sight, Qiao Lu saw that there was a larger dock next to the Wannian Fengxue dock, and the skeleton of a starship was gradually taking shape inside. It might be the destroyer that George mentioned.

"Although it is still in the stage of building the skeleton, we can use the fire energy to quickly shape it after the skeleton is built and the construction materials are put on it. The Wannian Fengxue also completed it in this way." George explained.

So it seems that it will not be too far from the completion of this destroyer. As the most widely used ship type in the modern navy, ships of this level should also be able to play a lot of roles in space.

It's just that such a behemoth that is equivalent to three Wannian Fengxue ships, that is, six space carriers, is actually only a destroyer class in the space fleet.

There are almost tens of thousands of people on the Wannian Fengxue ship, and such a destroyer will have to carry tens of thousands of people. Think about higher-level cruisers and battleships, and even larger space carriers. At that time, it really cannot be formed by the population of a planet.

Qiao Lv couldn't help asking: "What standard are these starship levels of ours calculated according to? Did you set up a standard to divide them?"

George shook his head and said, "No, it is calculated according to the standards of Cybertron civilization. Calculating from the fact that the Ark is the highest-level battleship, we know that the Wannian Fengxue should be regarded as a frigate."

"I see."

The Ark is a product of the ancient Cybertronian civilization, so the standards adopted are naturally extremely high, and the current Wandering Earth really cannot hold a candle to it.

If it were not calculated according to such strict standards, the Wannian Fengxue would not be classified as a frigate.

"Is this good? Build a space fleet according to this standard." Qiao Lv asked with some concern.

George smiled and said: "No problem, we have no experience in building space fleets, and it is more likely to deviate from the actual situation if we set a standard by ourselves. What's more, when facing other interstellar races, the other party will not follow the 'human' standard." Standard' come and engage us in fleet warfare."

It is not unreasonable to say this. In this vast universe, there are not only human races, and it is impossible for the wandering earth to face all human fleets.

It is better to demand oneself according to the highest standard than to talk about "star rating" like the human beings in "Three-Body" all day long, but it is better to be unable to hit even a drop of water.

Arrogance is the biggest obstacle to survival, so carefully classifying Wannian Fengxue as a frigate can be regarded as a kind of vigilance to the wandering earth.

There will always be more powerful enemies in the vast universe. The wandering earth may just be watching the sky from a well. Since the ancient Cybertron civilization has left such a standard, let’s use this standard as the goal first!
