Now, with the Infinity as the center, all ten battleships are linked. Due to the need for retrofits, all of these ships were turned off from their power furnaces, and the Infinity was replaced with an external source of energy.

This was all due to the fact that the dockyard of the Infinity was too small to fit all of these battleships in, but that didn't affect the effect of the refit in the slightest.

Because these players have opened their brains and invented an interesting construction machine.

These tech nerds have designed an unmanned engineering ship that is only five meters long, specifically designed to carry out external modifications and repairs on these battleships.

Resembling a giant crab, the vessels boast two large, multi-purpose robotic arms, 360-degree miniature engine vents and gravity attitude adjustments, and are powered by an Ark reactor.

These small construction vessels can be used for repairs and retrofits without interruption. However, due to the limited production capacity of the Infinity dockyard, only four of these engineering vessels could be built in a day.

According to the plan, each supply ship will need ten of these engineering ships for external modifications, and the internal modifications will be handled by a large number of small engineering robots and clone engineers!

It took a total of 25 days to build a hundred engineering ships, which met the needs of the entire supply ship renovation operation.

It takes a lot of materials to build so many engineering ships, and fortunately, there are large nanomaterial processing workshops on the Infinity that can recycle the materials on these battleships and then remake them into other accessories that can be assembled into engineering ships.

At the same time, the components required for the transformation are also manufactured one by one in the in-house nanofabrication workshop of Infinity, and then installed on these supply ships by engineering ships.

Through the hanging windows on the bridge, Yun Qi could clearly see that a large number of engineering ships were like industrious bees, constantly going back and forth between the supply ship and the Infinity, sending the dismantled parts back to the Infinity one by one, and then installing the new components on the outside of the supply ship.

At the same time, there are thousands of engineering robots and hundreds of clone engineers to drastically transform the entire interior of the warship.

Soon, the supply ship, which had been dismantled, and even the internal keel was exposed, gradually became plump again. Twenty days later, the ten supply ships were officially refitted.

Although they were both converted from battleships of the same type, there were huge differences between the two supply ships.

The supply ship was quite bloated, and its entire slender body was completely out of shape, becoming a huge fat man. The exterior armor is unusually weak, but the interior is very spacious.

According to Roy Sr.'s design, this type of supply ship can carry nearly two million tons of various materials, and each supply ship can be equipped with ecological farms and nanomaterial manufacturing plants. As long as there is enough substance, it can be continuously converted into various organic matter, and then a variety of animals and plants can be propagated in large quantities through the ecological garden to meet the dietary needs of the entire fleet.

At the same time, the nano factory of each battleship is capable of supplying various ammunition and repair parts for the entire hull, and the supply ship itself is equipped with a large number of fast transport ships like coffins. These transports, which are less than 10 meters in size, can quickly travel back and forth with warships and supply ships during battle, providing large quantities of supplies and ammunition for the warships. It was the square coffin board shape that made Yun Qi a little unhappy! But Old Roy insisted that this shape was to maximize the use of internal space, so Yun Qi could only nod and acquiesce!

Under Old Roy's theory of maximizing space utilization, these five supply ships alone could meet all the supply needs of Yunqi's two fleets.

However, Abt's design of the supply ship II is also unique.

In contrast to the purely functional design of the old Roy, Abt's design was more inclined towards combat supply ships.

While heavy weapons, including the main gun, were removed, Abt added more defensive weapons, and tweaked the ship's power supply system to allow its shields to last longer, while greatly increasing the ship's mobility and top speed.

However, the sacrifice that comes with this is that the carrying capacity of the Type 2 supply ship is only one-third of that of the Type 1.

In other words, only three Type II supply ships can top the last Type 1 supply ship.

Although carrying less cargo, the combat supply ship can even accompany the entire fleet to force its way through the enemy's encirclement network, and even if it is unfortunate enough to be besieged by the enemy, he has enough defense to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

Therefore, these two types of supply ships have their own advantages and disadvantages. Combined, it is possible to meet the needs of almost every combat situation.

With supply ships, it's time for a supply spree.

The officers and men of the whole fleet, who have been thrifty for several days, can finally open meat today.

I saw that a large number of escort fighters were ejected by the battleships one after another, and the hard salvage operation began!

Soon, these beautifully shaped fighters dragged a huge meteorite behind their butts and struggled to fly in the direction of the supply ship. When it was delivered to the destination, an engineering ship took over, chopped up some oversized meteorites, and then sent them to various supply ships in batches to convert them into various materials for storage.

Relying on the solid ice collected from here, Iona and the others finally took a good bath. During this time, even water needs to be used sparingly. After all, there will be a certain loss of water circulation, and once the loss exceeds a certain limit, there will be a large-scale shortage of water resources.

And a large amount of electrolyzed water is also needed on the battleship to produce oxygen, so water reserves are crucial for each battleship.

The problem of water shortage was even more serious than Yun Qi imagined, so in order to save water, Yun Qi had to ban the number of baths for the officers and men on the ship. He's a big man, but for beauty-loving ladies, not taking a bath is simply killing them.

During this period, Yun Qi was bombed by Angela and them more than once, if it weren't for the rapid completion of these supply ships, Yun Qi estimated that he would definitely be killed by the broken words of these girls!

Fed up with suffering without resources. Yun Qi looted all the small meteorite wreckage within hundreds of thousands of kilometers in the surrounding area in one go.

However, the density of small meteorites in the Kuiper Belt is too low, and even if these escort fighters break their legs, they will only collect tens of thousands of tons of effective resources. No matter how far away the resource is, it is not that the escort fighters cannot be searched, but once it exceeds a certain limit, with the towing speed of the escort fighters, it will not be able to rush back into the fleet!

After all, the entire fleet is still driving at high speed, far away, and with the acceleration ability of fighters, it will not be able to catch up with the galloping fleet at all, and it will be fatal at that time.

Thinking of this, Yun Qi began to consider whether to stop for a while to replenish when he was close to Ceres.

According to the fleet's detection, in the current traveling orbit, the fleet can only meet Ceres. If you miss Ceres, you will have to sail for three months before you can meet Saturn.
