Upgrading to Phase 7, the number of workers that the Monster Factory can recruit has doubled to six hundred and forty.

Prior to this, the three hundred and twenty monster quotas had all been recruited by Ye Qing and put into the factory's production. The factory assembly line was also built according to the quota of monster workers, and now the quota has doubled, but Ye Qing has only recruited two savage djinns and eighteen monsters for the time being, which are used to put into the trial production of new products.

The Longxitan factory at night is like a bright pearl blooming on the coastline of Zhongyun City.

Centered on the moon-ring-shaped barren mountain above the underground base, there are more than three kilometers of land on the left and right sides, and there are neat and vast factories. The lights here are like shining stars in the Milky Way, densely scattered around the factory and on both sides of the road, and there are many spotlights on the barren hills, 360 degrees without any dead ends, sweeping every piece of land in the factory.

Here, in addition to the thunder automobile production center, the sealed slipway by the sea is the most magnificent.

It is nearly fifteen storeys tall and a third of it is still built in the sea. The two steel gates by the sea have broken through the limits of people's perception of the door.

Of course, the two iron doors were not reserved for people, Ye Qing walked in from the maintenance passage, and just saw two mountain-like savage giants carefully wiping the hull of the ship with a "rag" pulled from nowhere. In front of the two of them, the 20,000-ton humpback whale is just a truck.

But in front of Ye Qing, the Humpback Whale is a steel island, or a steel fortress.

Its overall shape is diamond-shaped polyhedron, which is very different from the narrow and narrow hull of ordinary civilian ships. If viewed from above, it looks more like an armored assault vehicle magnified countless times, or a futuristic tank without a turret.

The smaller the area of the hull in contact with the water, the less resistance the ship will have when sailing.

If the supership in front of you floats on the surface of the water like an ordinary ship, I am afraid that most of the power will be used to offset the resistance of the seawater.

It's a pity that this is not an ordinary ship, it is a nuclear-powered, "air cushion" alloy giant ship with a maximum speed of more than 130 knots.

Under the application of the world's top nuclear power units, two electromagnetic engines with a total power of 400,000 kilowatts, relying on ultra-supercritical generator sets, burst out of power, close to two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

It is also 30 knots higher than the initial estimate of 100 knots.

Standing in front of this giant ship with a length of more than 100 meters, what Ye Qing felt was a kind of scientific and technological beauty that broke through the limits of heavy industrial manufacturing.

If anyone has seen a large ocean-going ship up close, or a large warship. You will find that the ships you originally saw in the pictures are not as majestic and gorgeous as in the pictures. The bigger the ship, the more it looks......

The more it looks like a piece of "building blocks" covered with iron sheets, the entire hull is full of potholes, and the outline of the keel compartment is clearly visible, without any beauty at all.

Insiders always joke that the sheet metal master is not up to par, and laymen can't figure out why frigates, destroyers, and even aircraft carriers, which represent the highest level of industrial science and technology in a country, how can they not even weld their hulls well?

In fact, this really can't be blamed on the shipbuilders' sheet metal craftsmanship.

To take a simple example that we are very common, the ball is a very common thing. But good leather balls are made of pieces of leather spliced and stitched.

Because the ball is a quadric surface, the whole flat leather cannot be spherical. It is only possible to assemble many small planes into an approximate sphere, and the smaller the planes, the closer the shape will be.

In the same way, the same principle is true of the giant ship we see.

The contours of a giant ship are far more complex than a sphere, and it is also the largest physique product that human industry can make.

The hull of a ship is made of countless pieces of marine steel, and these originally horizontal steel plates need to be processed piece by piece according to the outline of the shell of the giant ship to change the original shape.

Our human eye can recognize the accuracy error to the extent of one-fifth of a millimeter. There are more than 40 million pixels that can be recognized by the human eye.

However, the processing and forming of complex curved steel plates has always been a problem in the world's industry.

Until now, CNC large-scale complex curved steel plate forming equipment is a secret heavy weapon from various countries. At the same time, the machining accuracy is often claimed to be less than one millimeter, and in actual processing, the error will be greater than one millimeter.

In the face of these data, it is impossible for modern industrial technology to process countless pieces of marine steel to the point that the accuracy error cannot be discerned by the naked eye.

Not to mention the deformation of the complex curved steel plate during transportation and installation after processing, and the thermal deformation generated during welding.

Therefore, the most intuitive way to judge the technical ability of a shipyard is to see whether the ships they build are too potholed?

If it is too serious, no matter how loud the propaganda slogan of this shipyard blows, it will definitely be a half-bucket, and the internal workmanship of the ship will not be much better.

Fortunately, the overall strength of a ship is not guaranteed by these shell steel plates. Instead, look at the internal keel structure, so the shell is potholed, which does not affect the performance of the ship too much.

However, standing next to the Humpback Whale Super Giant Ship, Ye Qing appreciated a completely different industrial beauty.

The Humpback Whale, welded with more than 10,000 alloy module forgings, no matter which angle Ye Qing looks at, will always be only "smooth", "smooth" and "horizontal".

It is like a polyhedral hull composed of mirrors, more like a craft that is delicate to the limit, and no ship engineer can pick out the slightest angle error when he comes.

The flamboyant lines seem to break through the bow of everything.

At the top of the humpback whale's diamond-shaped tortoiseback, there's even a diamond-black mirrored polyhedral device.

It is the Humpback Whale's secret weapon.

Ye Qing walked into the interior of the humpback whale along the member passage with a telescopic design located in the cabin on one side.

A white industrial world was displayed in front of Ye Qing. The dark interior of the Humpback Whale, both the bulkheads and the floor, is painted white.

It is very easy for ordinary people to lose their sense of space and direction when they walk here, and of course, the Humpback Whale does not accept ordinary people.

Every ten meters that Ye Qing walks, he will pass through a watertight door with an automatic opening and closing function. Each watertight door represents a watertight compartment.

At the same time, on both sides of the channel, there will be a grid network extending out, any watertight compartment unfortunately flooded, the damage management equipment inside the grid network will quickly discharge the seawater out of the cabin.

All circuits here are also waterproof and protected, from a switch and a light to a lubricating oil pump, air compressor, and centralized control distribution board.

Ye Qing walked here with a light car, and after passing through more than 20 watertight doors and ascending the escalator with a height of more than five floors, Ye Qing came to the cockpit of the Humpback Whale.

In the cockpit, unlike any other ship.

Standing here, you can overlook the entire back of the Humpback Whale, and you can clearly see the four cargo hatches above the back of the ship, and the two huge steel doors blocking the bow of the ship.

Open the front gate, and the humpback whale will be able to swim the sea, stunning the world...
