Chapter 1748: In a Flash

It is normal for a heavy warship in the interstellar era to carry more than 100,000 people.

And what does it mean to have 100,000 people on a warship?

Even this is just a small role in a heavy warship. Usually, the crew of a general heavy warship will be as high as hundreds of thousands, and even more than a million. Just like what Annie said, it is a moving city.

Therefore, on such a warship, maintenance alone is a huge project, and almost half of the members of the shipboard personnel are maintenance engineers, not combatants in the usual sense.

Of course, even as engineers, they will be put into battle when necessary.

But in most cases, such non-combatants do not need to take up arms.

"A moving city."

"That's right, it's a city moving in space. Our imagination is so scarce that the interstellar warships in various film and television works are almost all based on battleships or aircraft carriers. It's really ridiculous to think about it now."

Jin Xiantai smiled bitterly. He had to accept that Annie's complaint was a fact.

Humans use their own scarce imagination to imagine what interstellar warships look like.

But after thinking about it, it turned out to be based on battleships and aircraft carriers. It's really ridiculous.

But now Annie knows what heavy battleships look like in the interstellar era.

Not only is the appearance different from that of an aircraft carrier, but the number of crew members is so large that it's shocking.

This is just an ordinary heavy battleship.

According to the super battleship drawings provided by the inner civilization, the most powerful battleship is simply a mobile space fortress plus a port, which can not only accommodate millions of people, but also berth hundreds of heavy battleships.

Of course, even if the drawings are obtained, humans now do not have the resources and technology to build them.

Even what can be built now is only the smallest of the heavy battleships.

Speaking of it, it's really sad.

"For such a battleship, the captain's power is very great, not to mention as the commander of such a battleship cluster, you can imagine how much power such a person will have."

Annie said to Jin Xiantai with a hint of meaning.

After a little thought, Jin Xiantai understood.

Obviously, Annie was telling herself to perform well during further studies, strive to command a warship in the future, or even become the commander of a fleet, and master this authority.

"I know what to do, don't worry."

Jin Xiantai's answer made Annie very relieved.

"The United States and China will join forces to develop the moon, and prepare to turn the moon into a satellite aviation port for the earth. The ownership of the moon has now been determined, and the United States and China will jointly manage it."

Earlier, China and the United States began to discuss the division of interests on the moon.

In the face of the interests of the moon, neither the United States nor China will give up. If a proper solution is not found, will they have to fight again?

Obviously, this is definitely not a good choice.

Nowadays, both China and the United States need a stable and peaceful development environment, so some unnecessary conflicts should not happen if they can avoid them.

The Russian bear was dragged down by Afghanistan, so it could only pinch its nose and go to the Chinese camp to be the second. This is a very obvious example.

Therefore, on the basis of peace and stability, China and the United States quickly reached a consensus that everyone has the rights and interests of the moon together.

Of course, this result caused dissatisfaction among countries such as Russia, France, and the United Kingdom.

They shouted that the moon belongs to all mankind, so why should the benefits be divided between China and the United States? This is unreasonable.

However, since the technology is controlled by China and the United States, it is useless for these countries to shout, and finally they can only accept this fact.

Otherwise, what else can they do?

Is it possible to go to war with China and the United States?

In short, the five permanent members of the United Nations are now in name only. Anyone who is not a fool can see that China and the United States will dominate the interstellar era in the future.

The situation has also evolved from the five major powers coexisting in parallel to the coexistence of two powers.

You know, the emergence of the two major camps led by China and the United States is already very telling.

"This matter has little to do with us, and we don't care and don't say anything. But how is your investment in the Soviet Union? I heard from Selena that Director Lawrence sent a large number of people to the Soviet Union and invested a lot of money. Those big crocodiles on Wall Street also fooled the Soviets to open up the banking industry."

Jin Xiantai changed the subject and asked about the Soviet Union.

Anne put down her knife and fork, picked up her napkin and wiped her mouth, smiling and responding to Jin Xiantai: "Business development over there is going smoothly. A large amount of private deposits have been absorbed, and all of them have been converted into US dollars."

Jin Xiantai didn't wait for Anne to finish, and interrupted: "Now, you are waiting to reap the harvest, right? It seems that the situation over there has deteriorated to this extent."

Annie nodded: "The Soviets are finished. Yuri has already controlled the Far East Military Region. As long as someone comes to the front, Yuri will find an opportunity to declare independence. By the way, do you want to notify China? If Yuri makes a fuss about independence, Vladivostok is likely to return to China's territory."

"Well, I'll contact Mr. Jin tonight. But are you really sure that the Soviet Union will be in chaos?"

"Sure, this is implemented according to your plan two years ago. After two years, we can now start to reap the harvest."

Two years!

Jin Xiantai sighed that time flies.

He has spent three years in the different time and space to make money.

And because of his relationship, the Soviet Union in the different time and space is about to collapse.

To be honest, Jin Xiantai feels like he is dreaming about this.

"Will the collapse of the Soviet Union have any impact on China?" Jin Xiantai sought some opinions from Annie.

Annie thought about it and said, "It will definitely have an impact, but it will be of great benefit to China. Once the Soviet Union is in chaos, its voice in the Chinese camp will be weakened, and it may even follow China's lead in the future and become China's younger brother.

Then waiting for the opening of the interstellar era, having a younger brother like Mao Xiong will bring great benefits to China."

Jin Xiantai pondered for a while and felt that it was indeed the case.

So, some worries in his heart dissipated immediately.

The Soviet Union split and Yuri's independence would weaken Mao Xiong, and a Mao Xiong who was so weak that he could not be strong would only follow China in the future and become a younger brother in the Chinese camp.

Even, China still has a chance to assimilate the Bear Country. After all, as humans enter and open the interstellar age, such a thing is not impossible.

By then, Chinese men in different time and space can find blonde girls as girlfriends without even going abroad.

It's exciting to think about it.

------Dividing line------

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the spring of 2019 in different time and space.

Over the past six months, humans have made great progress in the research of the technology provided by the Protoss civilization, and have begun to apply some research results to the earth.

However, most of them are military technologies, and there are very few civilian technologies, or even none at all.

Now basically all countries in the world have big meetings every few days, small meetings every day, and endless meetings, and there are many topics to discuss.

And this summer, the huge Bear Country collapsed.

This incident shocked the world.

Annie and a group of Wall Street crocodiles enjoyed and divided up the Bear Country feast and made a lot of money.

Kim Hyun-tae, on the other hand, followed the trainees at West Point and left the military academy to visit the Nevada Battleship Factory, where they began a three-month battleship simulation command course.

It is obvious that this group of people will definitely be the first space explorers in the near future, and all they are learning now is to prepare for that time.

Annie and Coco did not follow Kim Hyun-tae to Nevada, but stayed in West Point.

Annie herself did not go to Moscow, but remotely controlled her subordinates to do things there at West Point.

Coco went to kindergarten every day on schedule. This was the first time in three years that the little guy was so honest.

In the Nevada desert, the heavy interstellar battleship manufacturing plant of the United States was established on this desert.

When the trainees came to the factory, they were taken for a tour.

To be honest, they just took a quick look and did not look at it from beginning to end.

You know, this battleship manufacturing plant is very large, and it is not an easy task to visit it completely.

But the factory staff accompanying me said that the warship they are building now is more than ten kilometers long and more than thirty stories high, with a quota of 80,000 people. After the warship is built, there will even be a commercial district dedicated to the cultivation of organic vegetables and shopping and entertainment. It is really a mobile small city as Annie said.

Of course, due to the relationship between technology and resources, the warship under construction is only the smallest of the heavy warships, but even so, it is enough to shock the trainees.

The engineers are working in the open air under the scorching sun.

Next to the warship under construction, there are a lot of board houses.

It can be seen that the board houses are where the engineers sleep.

To be honest, this is also very hard. You know that the degree of hard work in the desert is far more than working in other environments.

There are a lot of special metal plates piled up here on the scene. Those workers who do not need to work at high altitudes call the crane to come over and start to transport the metal plates to the top, and start welding after fixing them.

This is the case in the United States, and the same is true in China.

Both countries are preparing for the interstellar era.

As advanced trainees, Jin Xiantai and his team now need to have a more intuitive understanding of the warship through this visit, and understand the environment and structure inside the warship.

Only in this way can they become qualified warship commanders and not be completely ignorant of the warship.

As the visit ended, Jin Xiantai and his team were engaged in intensive simulation training...
