The wingman of the carrier-based aircraft is also controlled by the same pilot and is equipped with an intelligent driving system.
These wingmen follow the host in combat, and sometimes they also act as shields for the host to defend against attacks from the front.
Entering the hangar, the staff and pilots here are also very busy.
Although they are basically clones, they all have compiled professional knowledge and skills in their brains.
But how to say it, these are all dead knowledge points. If you want to use them flexibly, you need constant practice.
So generally speaking, when there is nothing going on, the pilots of these carrier-based aircraft will also fly their fighter jets to shuttle and patrol in space.
Currently, the main patrol team of Tianjin 4 is several frigates patrolling with carrier-based aircraft.
The carrier-based aircraft has a unique shape that is not aerodynamic at all. It has a pointed head and an X-shaped wing in the middle. The tail of the fuselage and the tail of the wing are equipped with high-speed engines.
If these engines are started together, these space carrier-based aircraft can instantly reach super-high speeds and reach the enemy's warships in the fastest way to launch attacks.
In addition to carrier-based aircraft, some space mecha units, such as C-class Rangers, will be deployed in the star base in the future.
However, at present, the number of psychics in Li Xin's hands is insufficient to support the number of mechas.
After all, space mechas are different from ground combat mecha units. Ground-level D-level psychics can go to the battlefield.
However, in space, if one wants to fight, one must at least be able to use psychic power to activate the psychic jump engine, which is something that D-level psychics cannot do.
Therefore, the mecha hangar in the star base is still empty.
Passing through the main fortress of the star base, Li Xin came to the space dock. At this time, the dock here has reached 12 ship capacity units and can start building twelve space ships at the same time.
Standing on a high place, Li Xin looked down at the dock below. At present, the dock was crowded with workers busy working, like tiny ants.
Currently under construction are four transport ships, two space engineering ships, and six additional frigates.
The models of these six frigates are also different from the mainstream models of the blueprints given by the Seventh Wave.
But only the outer shell is different; the electronic equipment and weapons equipment inside are basically the same.
The new frigate is a Fang-class frigate, which is 280 meters long, 55 meters wide, and 60 meters high. The overall shape is a shuttle-shaped ship.
In terms of weapons, the main gun at the bow is an S-class small weapon slot. Of course, this smallness is from the perspective of the ship.
Any weapon on a ship, if used by other land units, would basically be large or even super-large.
This type of frigate can have 5 S weapon slots, of which the three S-class weapon slots at the bow are all equipped with gamma ray cannons.
The other two S weapon slots are equipped with kinetic railguns. The firing rate of this kinetic railgun is much faster than that of energy rays, but the flight of the projectile takes time, and the range is also shorter.
In terms of secondary weapons, the frigate will be equipped with five point defense systems, which are mainly small laser cannons or kinetic rapid-fire cannons.
Their purpose is to defend against the attacking mechas or carrier-based aircraft units.
As the name suggests, frigates are designed to protect the safety of large ships in the fleet.
Frigates are powerful weapons for carrier-based aircraft. This defense system can defend against attacks from a large number of carrier-based aircraft, missiles, or space torpedoes.
However, the frigate's weapons are not so useful when facing space mechas.
The mecha has a void shield. Once the mecha gets close to the frigate, the frigate is basically doomed.
Mechas are ridiculously powerful. Even in space battles, the only things that can compete with mechas, besides large ships, are mecha units of the same type that can stop them.
The main structure of the frigate currently under construction has been completed, and the ship-borne weapons are also being installed. It will take at most one month to complete and start sea trials.
Li Xin is very much looking forward to all of this.
Li Xin asked the person in charge who had followed him, "How many people are currently working in the Star Base?"
The person in charge said without hesitation: "Grand Marshal, the total number of people in the base has reached 210,000, of which about 50% are responsible for the continued expansion and maintenance of the star base."
"Among the outer stellar power stations, approximately 20% of the staff are engaged in expansion and maintenance."
"In the space dock, approximately 30% of the workers are responsible for building the dock and the ships within it."
After listening for a while, Li Xin said, "What's your biggest problem right now?"
The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "There are two biggest problems at present. One is the insufficient number of suitable alloys, which greatly affects our work efficiency."
"Secondly, we can have more staff. If we have more staff, the work can be done faster."
Li Xin nodded after listening to this. Of the two problems, the first one was relatively difficult to solve.
Alloys that can be used in space are mainly used to build ships and star bases, and the casting of this type of alloy is also relatively difficult.
There are already many metallurgical factories on the planet that serve these people in space.
Minerals are mined from the source, sent for preliminary refining, and then various materials are added for forging to create alloys.
There is a lot of loss involved and there are many requirements for materials.
The reason why there are only more than 200,000 people in the star base now is because of material limitations.
Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for more people to come up later."
"I'll give you two tasks."
The person in charge nearby immediately perked up and listened attentively.
Li Xin said, "I will provide you with sufficient manpower. First, we need to build a large alloy foundry in the star base. After that, we will continue to expand the space dock. The expansion of the star base can be temporarily slowed down."
"Second, use transport ships and engineering ships to build more mines in the asteroid belt."
"Smelting and casting alloys requires more minerals. We can build mines to directly mine them from space and smelt them directly in space."
"I will send you as many people as you want!"
"Yes! Grand Marshal!!"
