Galaxy Domination Guide

Bai Zhongqi looked at the C Country military officers, who were utterly shocked, and felt a bit of dark satisfaction. The J-20evo was the weapon with the highest technology content provided by Iridium Star to C Country at this stage, and it was also the only weapon capable of space combat.

Of course, due to its limited range, it would more often conduct operations not far outside the atmosphere; in reality, it was still tasked with defense missions on Earth's surface. Hence, the J-20evo could also be considered among the atmospheric defense weapons.

Calling it a defensive weapon was naturally inaccurate; every C Country military officer present could imagine what a terrifying offensive weapon it was.

With extremely high speed, dual stealth capabilities in electromagnetic and optical spectrums, unmatched range, plus the ability to carry a bunch of Exquisite Class missiles and fire electromagnetic cannon shells with power comparable to howitzers.

Tang Xinhua, as an Air Force officer, was so excited that he was practically jumping up and down, "With just one of these fighters, it could take on the entire Air Force of a midlevel power on Earth by itself!"

Su Guokai was also delighted, "As long as we can equip one or two regiments with J-20evos, the Air Force would be able to achieve complete global air dominance."

Wang Peng also expressed his amazement, "With this kind of fighter, the significance of aircraft carriers is greatly reduced. Just fly in the sky, even if it means circling the Earth several times before landing. The ability to deploy force and firepower like this is terrifying."

The Iridium Star Lieutenant Colonel guiding them said, "If the alliance is ultimately successful, then all technical data and production of this fighter can be completely transferred to you. Like all the atmospheric defense weapons we are providing to future Star Alliance member states this time, it is manufactured by a neuron production line.

Once the production process is preset, from material creation to processing to final assembly, it's all completed in one go. With sufficient materials prepared, the neuron production line can produce a J-20evo in 90 minutes."

Tang Xinhua nearly popped his eyes out, he couldn't believe what he had heard, "A fighter produced in 90 minutes? That means 16 could be produced in a day, and with non-stop manufacturing, you could make 480 in a month?"

The Iridium Star Lieutenant Colonel nodded, "In theory, yes. However, if the equipment doesn't run smoothly or there are other adjustments in between, it might be slightly less than that figure, but a monthly output of over 460 units is easily achievable."

Every word he uttered was like a spell filled with temptation, "Due to the use of the neuron production line, the demands on raw materials and processing are greatly reduced.

According to our calculations, based on the current market price of raw materials on Earth, excluding labor costs, electricity, maintenance fees, and other miscellaneous items, just the raw materials and processing parts alone, the cost to produce one J-20evo is approximately just 800,000 RMB."

Tang Xinhua was utterly confused; his temper lost to the level of Iridium Star's technology, which was beyond what C Country could normally comprehend at this point.

"The price of a luxury sedan is enough to produce such an air-space fighter, even if we made a thousand of them, wouldn't it only cost a few hundred million RMB?"

The Iridium Star Lieutenant Colonel confirmed, "That's correct."

The crowd was immersed in shock, but there were also those who thought deeply about the issues at hand. The neuron production line was something they had heard about, no longer just at the level of black technology, it significantly increased production speed and reduced costs, achieving even more frightening large-scale precision manufacturing. But the problem followed.

A military-industrial enterprise would just need one neuron production line, equipped with a delivery team, a maintenance team, and a supervisory team—that's all. The neuron production line was truly integrated from raw material intake to finished product, with no room for workers' intervention in between.

What was more frightening, it completely obviated the need for intermediate links—producing a fighter jet no longer required electronics factories that made radars, nor aero-engine manufacturers, nor any supporting businesses.

The highly complex and precise aerospace industry, which might require tens of thousands of people to produce a single fighter jet, now could be handled by just a few dozen people.

What would the rest of those people do then? It was an exceedingly alarming thought. The industrial system that the nation had built over decades with the effort of several generations would all become useless.

And yet, C Country had no choice but to accept it because what they faced was the production force of the future, with no reason to abandon the chance of new technology to take care of the outdated old technology.

This was, in fact, a hidden yet clear trap in the grand Star Alliance structure designed by Bai Zhongqi. If C Country wanted to grasp the new technology, it had to phase out the old production modes, causing a large number of labor forces unable to keep up with the new era.

And to deal with this surplus labor force, it was necessary to follow Iridium Star in developing the Universe and to retrain C Country's population in skills and knowledge. A massive population would become mobile in this process, thus becoming the seeds for Bai Zhongqi to expand his own Iridium Star Civilization, to be scattered to other planets.

The people of C-country were only faintly perceiving hints of what was to come, and when the true revolution of productivity arrived, it would be even more intense and stirring than anything they could currently imagine.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The military personnel of C-country were now more amazed and secretly delighted by the weapons that would soon become part of their nation's arsenal. The J-20evo was the only physical item they saw that day; the rest of the military aid weapons were displayed to them in the form of documents and videos.

Due to Bai Zhongqi's personal preferences, many were sourced from weapons currently under development by the C-country military, enhanced with some black technology.

The H-10 is a super-large, subsonic stealth bomber adopting a flying wing structure, with extensive use of composite materials. It has a cruising speed of 0.87 Mach, a top speed of 0.96 Mach, a payload of 95 tons, a maximum takeoff weight of 277 tons, and a range of one week.

The H-20, a heavy supersonic stealth bomber, features a blended wing body with a supercritical swept wing. It has a range of one week and a maximum speed of 4 Mach, with a payload of 36 tons.

The Y-20STOVL model directly adopted the "Fatty" large transporter, already in service with the C-country Air Force, with little change in appearance but also used electric propulsion engines, achieving vertical take-off and landing capabilities, a payload of 66 tons, a cruising speed of 960 kilometers per hour, and a range of 72 hours.

The Y-22TOVL model used variable-tilt-wing electrical plasma fanjet propulsion similar to the Y-20STOVL, achieving faster speeds than typical helicopters, with a top speed of 740 kilometers per hour. It carries a payload of 31 tons, can transport 50 passengers, has a range of 72 hours, and can land on water surfaces.

The Y-25STOVL, a super-large transport aircraft with a lineage of power and vertical take-off and landing technology has an extreme payload capacity of up to 242 tons, a cruising speed of 880 kilometers per hour, and a range of 72 hours.

The Z-20MAG model was quite different from traditional helicopters. With a maximum takeoff weight of 10 tons, it used foldable ducted twin rotors with all-electric propulsion. The ducted rotors could fold upwards when not in use and open out on the upper sides of the fuselage during flight.

Extremely maneuverable, it could use ground-effect to maintain low-altitude flight just meters or even centimeters above the ground, with a maximum altitude of ten thousand meters. It had a cruising speed of 500 kilometers per hour and a range of 2000 kilometers.

It could carry 12 infantry soldiers and two crew members and was suited for commuting, anti-submarine warfare, special operations, electronic warfare, and cargo slinging. It could flexibly carry different weapons due to its robust armor, essentially replacing the Army's infantry fighting vehicles.

The Qiang-9 Black Panther Armed Machine, equipped with electric propulsion plasma fanjet engines, could not be classified as either an armed helicopter or a traditional attack aircraft. It lacked traditional wings and appeared as a stealth-designed helicopter fuselage fitted with two fanjet engines mounted on top of the middle section.

Due to its small size and efficient aerodynamics, it could reach a maximum speed of 2 Mach. Its maximum takeoff weight was 22 tons, with a combat radius of 3000 kilometers. It had visible stealth, electromagnetic stealth, and the capability for electromagnetic battlefield suppression. Its primary weapons were Exquisite Class guided rockets and 23mm Gauss auto cannons.

In essence, it could essentially replace the tank, the king of land warfare, which had been in existence for a hundred years.

With the advancement of technology to this level, the cost and performance of flight had greatly improved, severely weakening the significance of traditional land and naval forces. The majority of land and sea warfare weapons could be replaced by the aforementioned aircraft.

Bombers could cruise for long periods and perform strike missions, and transporters could quickly deploy troops, eliminating the need for any frontline bases. For situations occurring at sea, aircraft could arrive on scene much faster than ships. Additionally, enhanced take-off and landing capabilities virtually removed any obstacles to the use of these craft.

Having reviewed all this equipment, Wang Peng found it a bit hard to accept and raised a question, "So are we going to replace all the Army and Navy with these kinds of planes in the future?"

The Iridium Star Lieutenant Colonel responded, "Infantry units can never be truly replaced, and Iridium Star will provide the technology for Powered Individual Armor to C-country soldiers. However, the significance of other military branches, such as the artillery, Armored Soldiers, and certain branches of the Navy, has been greatly diminished."

Many in attendance from the Army and Navy wanted to object, but the facts were right before their eyes. Utilizing these aircraft, the military could deploy more firepower and troops without any restrictions.

"We've also added some Army equipment to the military aid list, including amphibious combat vehicles, Ground-based Electromagnetic Guns, etc. Iridium Star has also designed some Navy Warships, including giant aircraft carriers, Aegis Destroyers, and Attack Nuclear Submarines. We can offer these as well.

However, I still want to remind you all that even if a ten-thousand-ton Aegis Destroyer can launch thousands of Exquisite Missiles and is equipped with powerful Electromagnetic Cannons, such a large target can easily be attacked by just a few aircraft, which could cause serious damage even if not sunk, and repairs would be troublesome.

Tanks and armored vehicles on the ground would face the same reality; no matter how fast they moved, they could easily be spotted and attacked by aircraft.

Therefore, Iridium Star's advice is that C-country's military peers should gradually adjust the composition and scale of the Army and Navy, and eventually unify the military branches into an integrated Defense Forces, achieving a combined land, sea, and air defense. Additionally, focusing more on the establishment of the Star Alliance Universe Army is a very practical measure."
