After the high-level meeting.
Li Xin and Liu Yang inspected their fleet together.
They were inspecting the 7th Security Defense Battle Group.
This is the battle group that Liu Yang is currently commanding, consisting of a total of twelve main fleets.
On Liu Yang's flagship, Li Xin looked at these warships.
Most of the warships were in good condition and looked as clean as new, but many of the warships in one fleet had scars on them.
Following Li Xin's gaze, Liu Yang also looked over. Seeing the situation of these warships, Liu Yang immediately explained:
"Grand Marshal, the ships of this fleet just returned from the battlefield outside Narbor Sky Fortress a month ago."
"They fought several battles in the frictional battlefields on the front lines, and achieved good results."
Li Xin nodded slightly, he guessed so.
The warships in today's fleet are all modular in design, especially the external armor.
Even if the battleship's armor is attacked and damaged, it can be quickly replaced after leaving the battle, especially after returning to the starport.
From the outside, it looks as clean as new.
The only ships that are still damaged are those that have just experienced a battle.
And judging from the shapes of these warships, these are not the warship models that Li Xin is familiar with.
Li Xin asked, "Has the fleet of the 7th Security Defense Battle Group been completely replaced with the latest models?"
Liu Yang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Grand Marshal!"
"The ships of the 7th Security and Defense Battle Group are now considered fourth-generation and a half warships."
"Battleships, currently, are the Daring class, cruisers are the Astute class, destroyers are the Astute class, and torpedo boats and frigates are the Friendly class and Standard class."
"The combat capabilities of these warships are much more powerful than those of previous generations."
"The hull and armor materials on the ship have been replaced with the latest materials, and the weapons have also undergone minor iterations."
"Even the carrier-based aircraft are the latest fourth-generation and a half fighters, which gives us a leading technological advantage in the battle with the Yelong Empire Fleet on the front line."
"With this, combined with the experience of our soldiers, the results of these rotations have been very good, and the casualty ratio is also very good."
When he said this, Liu Yang's face lit up.
He was the supreme commander of this battle group. The fleet fought well and achieved a great victory. He also had a bright face.
Li Xin kept nodding.
It is normal for ships to be updated and iterated.
In their previous battles, the warships used were all the same: the battleships were the Shining class and the cruisers were the Justice class.
The destroyers are of the Eye-catching class and the frigates are of the Fang class.
Except for the battleships, all other warships were built from design drawings obtained from blueprints.
In the first few decades, Li Xin's enemies were all third-generation ships, which required no updates or iterations of the warships.
The Galaxy Defense Group's research investment in new warships, except for battleships, is not high.
But after Li Xin summoned the Xingyuan Fleet and dismantled one of the Phantom-class battlecruisers.
Galaxy Defense Group's investment in this area has increased dramatically.
In addition, after beginning to conquer a large number of pioneering planets, the pressure on manpower was greatly reduced.
Elite scientific researchers from various planets were recruited and came to Tianjin to join the research on ships.
As a result, the speed of technological progress of the Galaxy Defense Group has been greatly accelerated.
Over the years, Galaxy Defense's small and medium-sized warships have undergone three iterations.
Each batch of warships has higher combat effectiveness than the previous generation of warships.
There are more iteration numbers for small and medium-sized warships, but there is only one iteration for large battleships, such as battleships.
It just evolved from the Shining level to the Courageous level.
Li Xin and Liu Yang came to a Kokang-class battleship for inspection.
Li Xin used his psychic power to wrap up the entire battleship and carefully examined the situation of the battleship.
From the perspective of overall structure, the functionality of the Daring-class battleship and the module combination of the battleship are basically no different from those of the Shining-class battleship.
Only minor adjustments.
There are two points to improve their combat effectiveness.
One is the replacement of the overall material, the materials used for the hull and armor, from the original composite military ship alloy.
Changed to zero alloy and zero armor.
This is the technology obtained from the dismantled Phantom-class battlecruiser.
After decades of research, a breakthrough has finally been made in materials.
The performance of Zero Element Alloy in all aspects is much stronger than the composite military ship alloy previously used by Galaxy Defense.
In terms of manufacturing, it is also more difficult.
Zero element alloys require adjusting the molecular structure of the material to maintain a more stable structure.
The zero-element alloy made of this metal has great advantages in dealing with physical and energy attacks.
The defense has increased, and it can withstand more attacks from the battleship's main guns.
Another point is the iteration of ship equipment and weapons.
The dismantled Phantom-class battlecruiser provided a good reference template, allowing the Galaxy Defense Group to increase its technological level at a faster rate.
With the continuous addition of high-level scientific researchers, some results have emerged.
These new equipment and weapons were loaded onto the Kangaroo-class battleships and other new classes of battleships.
However, the technology tree of the Xingyuan tribe is not completely related to that of humans, but it is definitely miles apart.
It will take some time to fully research the fifth generation of technological weapons.
However, zero-element armor has become popular because it is made of solid materials and the imagination of scientific researchers.
This is the fifth generation of armor material.
Now that new materials have been developed, the previous warships are gradually undergoing modifications.
For example, the Shining-class battleships, although their hull materials can no longer be modified, the external armor can be replaced with zero-element armor.
The dismantled armor will not be wasted. After repair, it can be sold to the Yaru Alliance, Zhun's sole surviving entity, and the Wilk race, which are its subordinates.
This is also the main reason why the new fleet is constantly rotated to the front line to fight.
Old models are now gradually undergoing renovation.
Thanks to the previous operation of the Moranok Interstellar Lord State, there are many space docks in this star field, and the logistics are very powerful.
In addition to the operations of the Galaxy Defense Group over the years, several life planets in this star field have been transformed into industrial worlds.
It is mainly used to provide logistical supply services for the Narbo Sky Fortress and the fleet stationed nearby.
