Galaxy Domination Guide

Bai Zhongqi looked at the holographic screen in front of him, which was displaying the receiving and production status of military aid equipment for Country C.

With the establishment of the Star Alliance, Bai Zhongqi had provided Country C with a massive amount of military equipment, in quantities so vast it was almost frightening. Just for the most advanced J-20evo space-air fighter jets alone, Iridium Star prepared to provide around 2000 units to the Country C Air Force, and that was just what Iridium Star manufactured for them.

Country C could also produce them if they had the need.

Iridium Star United Empire had already expanded its atomic substance construction capacity to more than double. Once the construction of the orbital complex on Emerald Sea Star is completed, Iridium Star will possess over five times the manufacturing capacity of the initial R19 fleet. This atomic substance construction equipment will continuously provide Iridium Star with various products.

Bai Zhongqi assigned four atomic substance construction devices to be in charge of military aid production, while the rest of the devices were still mainly used for producing equipment and products needed by Iridium Star.

In addition to the J-20evo as a representative aid product, Iridium Star was also manufacturing other weapons such as the modified Y-20 and newly designed H-20 for Country C. Some weapons that do not have spacefaring capabilities were to be built by the people of Country C themselves on the acquired neuron production lines, and Iridium Star would provide them with some raw materials as appropriate.

The production plan Bai Zhongqi saw included, besides the J-20evo fighters, the Army's White Rhino Class amphibious combat vehicles, Saber-toothed Tiger Individual Armor; Air Force's modified Z-20MAG universal helicopter, Z-22 transport rotorcraft, Z-24 armed helicopter, and others. These equipment items were often limited in size, and their production speed was very fast.

As soon as one batch was produced, it was loaded onto Iridium Star's giant whale cargo ships and transported to the mainland of Country C. Large, cumbersome models like the Y-20 and Y-25, however, were to be directly built by the people of Country C.

Chancellor His Majesty had just received news that at a certain production base located in Qin, the first neuron production line had been installed and debugged with the assistance of Iridium Star's engineering personnel, and the first product to come online was the modified parachuting version of the Y-20.

The second production line currently being installed at this site will also produce a super-giant parachuting transport aircraft, namely the Y-25.

At this time, it was naturally impossible for Country C to fully digest and absorb Iridium Star technology as everything was just starting. However, it did not prevent them from directly utilizing the programs and production equipment set up by the people of Iridium Star, and then producing products that were many times more advanced than those of the current era.

All the technology for the military aid products had been provided to Country C, and producing a complex weapon platform was no more difficult than using a washing machine. The steps were even somewhat similar: first, place various raw materials into the input of the neuron production line; second, press the switch; third, wait for a while before pulling out the produced equipment.

The production time for the parachuting version of the Y-20 was only 110 minutes. Although this transport plane was much larger than the J-20evo, its lower technical difficulty meant that its production time was not significantly longer.

This production line had already successively produced 8 Y-20 parachuting versions within one day, more than the total number previously from the development of the Y-20 prototype to the current mass-produced models.

This situation filled the military of Country C with anticipation. In not too long a time, they would accumulate a large batch of ultra-modern weapons.

Not all military aid weapons were left to Country C to manufacture. Three types of weapons were to be manufactured and provided by Iridium Star, and the related technology was not transferred to the people of Country C. These three pieces of weaponry were future Navy weapons, three types of space-air warships.

Space-air warships are different from starships; the former are deployed within gravity wells and, although capable of space navigation, do not possess interstellar flight capabilities, with their combat targets still being enemies on the planet.

The latter, however, are mainly used in the universe as their battlefield, capable of crossing light-years, and are usually also significantly large weapons.

The former are part of the Earth Defense Forces, while the latter belong to the Universe Army.

For the Navy of Country C in this military aid plan, the biggest gain was the three types of space-air warships. They are: the 003 class nuclear-powered space-air carrier, the 059 class nuclear-powered space-air destroyer, and the 021 class space-air escort vessel.

The 003 class nuclear-powered space-air carrier was a huge vessel with a full-load displacement of 320,000 tons, powered by a fusion reactor and equipped with an anti-gravity engine, allowing it free deployment in the ocean, sky, and space. Its combat ability was even comparable to some starships, even equipped with a lightweight shield system.

It had 4 20WM electromagnetic cannons and 2 electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons, 1024 universal missile launch units, and a fully enclosed hangar capable of accommodating up to 288 Killer Bee unmanned combat aircraft.

Such a type of warship was, in fact, more than sufficient for Iridium Star's own Planetary Defense Forces. Iridium Star planned to manufacture 3 of the 003 class space-air carriers for Country C. These three space-air carriers would also become the core key to Country C's leading planetary military.

The Kilo class space-air destroyer, with a full-load displacement of 15,000 tons, also employs fusion power and anti-gravity engines, serving as the armed escort for the type 003 space-air carrier. Its armaments include two 15WM electromagnetic cannons, two 20WM particle cannons, and 128 universal missile launch units. It also features a hangar that can accommodate two small aircraft.

Iridium Star plans to provide a total of 30 such space-air destroyers to Country C.

As for the final model, the type 021 space-air corvette, it has a displacement of only 352 tons. Naturally, such a small hull does not use fusion power but rather high-density energy cells, similar to the J-20 and other air force aircraft, though it can also sustain a fairly long operational duration.

Equipped as well with anti-gravity engines, its speed is the fastest among the three types of space-air warships, reaching up to Mach 2. However, its armaments are somewhat meager, consisting of a single 5WM electromagnetic cannon and eight universal missile launch units. Country C will obtain as many as 120 of these space-air warships.

Naturally, even the type 021 space-air corvette, with its formidable maneuverability and the power of its electromagnetic cannon, would have no trouble crushing any naval vessels on Earth, including US Navy aircraft carriers.

All three types of these space-air warships can travel on the ocean surface and even submerge underwater, a capability that even Bai Zhongqi found somewhat astonishing. This ability also spelled bad news for the submarine fleet of Country C.

The Navy of Country C will gradually shift its main force to this space-air fleet, while the existing fleet will undergo significant reductions. Older escort vessels like types 051 and 053 are set to retire, and even those of a prime age like types 051B, 051C, 052, and 052B no longer have a place in combat.

The type 052C/D and 054A warships will, however, undergo modifications, as they currently represent the strongest combat capability of the Navy of Country C and cannot be immediately abandoned. With the neuron production line, the Navy is determined to stop work on the type 052D Aegis destroyers after the 18th ship and the type 054A after the 30th ship.

The three type 055 ships already under construction will be completed under the convenient conditions provided by Iridium Star technology, with the last of the type 055 also directly produced on the neuron production line, meaning that the much-anticipated ten-thousand-ton destroyers will ultimately end after only four have been built.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Except for the 039A/B/C class AIP submarines, which will still be used for training, others like the Kilo class and type 039 will inevitably be retired. The future of nuclear submarines is unique, and further development plans for nuclear submarines have been indefinitely suspended. Only eight nuclear submarines from the 093 and 094 series will continue in service.

At this point, nuclear deterrence has become a joke, and if a nuclear strike from under the water were needed, any one type 021 space-air corvette hidden hundreds of meters underwater launching missiles with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers would be far more formidable than the old combination of strategic nuclear submarines and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

The same fate awaits surface aircraft carriers; the type 001A is nearing launch, so it is fortunate enough to enter service. But the keel of the type 002 aircraft carrier had not been laid long before the advent of the type 003 space-air carrier rendered the type 002 completely obsolete, and the shipyard had no objections to then dismantling it.

All these were measures of necessity; despite these warships being considered advanced and embodying countless hours of labor from Country C's military-industrial workers, being outdated means being outdated, and the people of Country C are ultimately very pragmatic.

Even the carrier-based aircraft on types 001 and 001A have become awkward. In the major refurbishment proposals for the two surface aircraft carriers provided by the Iridium Star people, substantial improvements to the avionics equipment were suggested, along with the installation of Global-Battlefield-Situation-Awareness and a new combat system, and the addition of sophisticated missile defense.

The bows were flattened and straightened, with two infill decks added on the left, increasing the number of parking spots. The main carrier-based aircraft were replaced with Killer Bees, with a standard mission layout capable of carrying 50 Killer Bee fighters.

All of Country C's fighters will possess VTOL capabilities in the future, even the massive J-20evo can be deployed on carriers, rendering the less powerful Flying Shark obsolete. It is unclear whether it was sentimental reasons or other considerations, but the Navy of Country C still pleaded with Iridium Star personnel to execute a modification plan for the Flying Shark.

In the plan, the new Flying Shark will also adopt condensed energy cells and electric ion propulsion. It will have Global-Battlefield-Situation-Awareness, a new data link, cloud combat systems, a quantum computer, and an artificial intelligence assistant. As for armaments, it could carry up to 40 sophisticated missiles.

Since the bows of types 001 and 001A were straightened, the new Flying Shark was simply designed as a short takeoff/vertical landing fighter, mainly intended for short takeoffs to ensure full-load launches within less than 80 meters.

Under the new configuration, types 001 and 001A carriers could deploy up to 36 J-15s for mission deployment.

Fairly speaking, although this upgrade is significant, its effectiveness is definitely not as good as newly designed fighters. Perhaps it could defeat enemies at the level of the F-22 in beyond-visual-range air combat and dogfights, but it simply cannot compare with the J-20evo and Killer Bee.

However, this does prevent a future where the two surface carriers only deploy drones and no manned aircraft. Bai Zhongqi did not see a problem with a carrier's flying squadron being entirely unmanned, but this is probably because the military of Country C has a fixed mindset and lacks full trust in unmanned systems.

A large number of Navy personnel have already entered deep sleep learning to master the use of new weapons.
