"The Federation will help you build a military factory?" Rybil sat down in his seat. "And then you're going to start the Zeon War of Independence again?"

"No, the Zeon Republic will become a member of the Earth Federation, and the military factories of the Zeon Republic will also become one of the contenders in the Federation's arms bid." Casbal put his hands on the table.

"That's really...... Then your advantage is not big, Zeon is completely behind the Federation in both MS and battleships, do you think we need a competitor who is completely behind? ”

"That's just before that, backed by a resource-rich federation, we can launch products that Zeon can't choose, and Zeon is not only a high-tech MS."

"Oh? Are you saying that Zeon can't choose a better product because of resources? ”

"That's right, the MS wasn't the best weapon at the time, he was just the most versatile and affordable equipment. Even Zagu chose the Zeonnik Society, which was more motivated by political factors than performance factors. For example, the performance of the YMS-03 Zida of the Zimad Society is almost equivalent to that of the high-mobility Zagu that has just been installed, and the MA of the MIP Society is left to rival the ms of a small team. But for various reasons, the Zeon Army did not adopt it. ”

"Zida? The MS that broke out of control a few years ago? Rybil recalled the information he had seen back then. A body that disintegrates when you fly is not very good. ”

"That's because there is no limiter installed on the body, which can increase the engine output without an upper limit, and it is strange that it does not lose control, and after installing the limiter, it is an excellent MS." Char pursed her lips vaguely. "The loss of control accident of YMS-05 during the test was much higher than that of 03, and I didn't see Zeon make a big report, and the 05 I drove had an accident when the engine output suddenly fell during the Battle of Granada, and it was still a real combat body. Not to mention the MIP Society's MA, 2 times the price of Zaku, 3 times more than the performance of Zaku, but because it could not be used on land, Bejilian Zabi was vetoed. The mobile tank, also produced by the MIP company, showed much better performance than the MS-06J Land Combat Zaku in the test, but it was also rejected because it could not fight in space, and it was said that the J-type Zagu could fight in space. ”

"You seem to be complaining about your body?" Rebiel looked at Casbar with interest.

"Driving a body with a sudden low power and being chased by more than 30 missiles, those who are lucky enough to survive will complain." Casbal looked apprehensive.

While chatting, Rybil also waited for General Gap's approval.

"The Zeonnic branch in Granada on the lunar surface can be handed over to you, there are several warship production lines and MS production lines, which should be able to meet your early maintenance and production needs, and later the Federation will sell you several Magellan-class spacedocks, you can watch and use." Rybil stood up. "Last question, is Minerva Rao Zabi your illegitimate daughter?"

Looking at the trace of panic in Casbal's eyes, Rabiel knew it. "I see, Minerva can be the next head of the Zabi family." Then Rybil left the conference room with his hands behind his back and happily.

Casbal's adjutant who came in later looked at Casbal with a gloomy face in the conference room, and was surprised.

"Chairman......

"I don't want to admit it, but it was all a mistake I made because I was too young."

Seeing that the adjutant was still dazed, Casbal, who took a long breath, pretended to be relaxed and stood up and moved. Then he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

"Are those nobles doing something?"

"Only the Lal family and the Mars family are very peaceful, and the rest of the families are clamoring all day long to send troops to reclaim their property."

Looking at the report handed over by the adjutant, a group of nobles under his hand held banquets all day long, coerced public opinion, instigated conflicts between the supporters of the Zabi family and the supporters of the Daken family, and even a small group of nobles and private soldiers were dispatched to fight the autumn breeze in the Duchy of Zeon. Look at Casbal's temples jumping and jumping.

"How many private soldiers are there?" Casbal searched his temples and asked weakly.

"6 Musai that we don't know about and 2 Pap-class, MS35 machines, are all old Type 05s. Intercepted by Kilian Zabi's personal guards, annihilated. ”

"That's really ......," Casbal couldn't hide the pain on his face. How many troops are still in the hands of the nobility? ”

"Two kvarquins with a completion rate of around 90 per cent, three Shell-class ships, and no more than 10 Msai ships. There are about 30 MSs, but 5 of them are legendary warriors. The adjutant pulled out another report.

"How did they hide these things...... Casbal didn't want to say anything when he heard that this was no less than the number of the Republic's open combat power.

"The colony satellites are small, but they're also huge." The adjutant shook his head. "It is not difficult to build a 300-meter-long secret dock in places such as the outer wall of the colony."

Casbal opened his mouth, but eventually only let out a sigh. "Think about how to frame the warships in the hands of the nobles, the fleet of the republic is too small now."

"What do you think of the Zeon Republic's request?" It wasn't until he got back to his flagship that Reybil turned around and got down to business.

"The gap between the strength of the Zeon Republic and the Principality of Zeon is too big, although it has more than eighty percent of the population of the upper side3, but without the protection of the corresponding troops, the fleet of the Principality of Zeon can kill the Republic within 3 days. You see what kind of land the republic owns, it is used for light industry, agriculture, pure residence, but there is no industrial use. They don't even have a dock to maintain the spaceship, so they can only replenish supplies and simply repair the warship in the port area. "The staff officer has been holding back for a day.

"Without the protection of the Federation fleet, the Republic is just a floating cloud, and besides, the Duchy has not been honest lately, the remnants of the lunar mobile fleet that broke through from Granada have gone to A. Bar Waku, and von Brown's observatory reports that the Zeon mineral asteroid Axis is heading towards the Earth's sphere, and it is expected to reach the Earth's circle in 3 months."

"The graviton radar equipped with this ship can already detect the gravitational waves of Axis and its frigate, and it is estimated that there are no less than 150 cruisers with a tonnage of no less than the Msey-class."

"...... "Staff officer, you and I will report the information I received today to Rebier."

"Axis...... Send a reconnaissance fleet to assess the possibility that Zeon dropped Axis on Earth as a meteorite, and I heard that a large amount of resources have been transported to A.B. Waku? Rebile remembered a message he had seen a few days ago from the Intelligence Department.

"That's right, we think that A.B. Waku is producing a fleet for decisive battles. According to Zeon's industrial capacity calculations, Zeon should have completed the rebuilding of the space fleet. ”

"Why isn't this message in the chain of command?"

"Because the Federation fleet is being built much faster than the Zeon Army......" said the technical staff officer who spoke looked up at the ceiling, "unimaginably fast......"

"Huh?" Listening to the staff officer's tired and unloving tone, Rebil's curiosity was aroused.

"Three months ago, Gabro's Lieutenant Colonel Ian Vasti Technology redesigned Gabro's production line, the new production line uses a large number of 3D printing technology, a small number of autonomous nanorobots called nanomaterials, the production cycle of the new warship is less than one-tenth of the previous one, for example, the assembly time of the enterprise level was originally close to half a year, has been shortened to three weeks, and the manufacturing time of more than 2 million man-hours has been shortened to less than 100,000 man-hours, and all of them are produced by automated production lines, It can be operated continuously for 24 hours.

In general, an enterprise-level manufacturing can now be made from raw materials into a warship in two months. The new Salamis, which can reach the level of building one in three weeks, is now severely limited by the production capacity of the Gabro base.

Now that the Third Fleet has completed construction, it is waiting for the crew to launch into the air at Gabro. ”

"The First Fleet's replenishment, replacement ships have already begun construction on the Luna II, where a brand new spaceyard is used, which is a little more productive than Gabro. The Second Fleet's replenishment and replacement ships were manufactured in von Brown. ”

"The new ship has a higher degree of automation in the second batch, and the new Salamis only needs a minimum of 5 people to fully play the performance of the warship, and even in extreme cases, it can also be used as an unmanned autonomous warship, taking into account damage management and maintenance to maintain a crew of about 60 people."

"I see, the Third Fleet will return to Luna II for supplies first, and let them replenish the fleet. The Second Fleet will take over the standoff from the First Fleet after the rest is over. Disband. ”

Returning to his room, Rybier recalls several conversations he had with General Gerp when the Minovsky particle was discovered and Zeon was confirmed to be developing a mobile weapon called MS.

At that time, both himself and General Gopp believed that the war would change because of these new inventions. The brainstorming of the young staff officers organized by the two of them in private mostly came to the conclusion that if the MS could carry enough weapons to threaten the battleship, then the war would be dominated by the Minovsky particle and the MS.

But the officers of the Federal Space Force, who are mostly big ships and giant guns, do not believe that MS will threaten the battleship at all.

"It's just a fragile doll." That's what the old men of the Federal Equipment Development Committee say about MS.

In the end, although Zeon has it, the Federation has it? The Federation has also started the development of MS, but the progress is really unsatisfactory. This even made General Gerp and himself anxious for a while.

Then, in 0075, Ian came, and the Federation was gone on the road of big ships and cannons, and the actual combat also showed that without the protection of the Minovsky particle, Zeon's MS really turned into a fragile doll in front of the Federation's heavy fighters and naval guns.

Fortunately, the results of the RX program allowed the old man of the committee to see the potential of ms, and ms was able to continue to develop.

It's really a success or a failure, Ian has left too much influence on the development of the Federation's equipment, even if the Federation's own research and development equipment, most of them are heavy armor, high mobility, and a lot of external equipment.

Now, the production lines have changed?!

The application of the federation of fully automatic production lines has not been considered, but what about the workers?

Was that man going to start the Industrial Revolution?

Of course it's impossible......

After completing the design and production line adjustments for the new Salamis, Ian turned his attention to the development of the jump engine.

Between the quantum transition theory based on GN particles and the wormhole jump theory based on gravity particles, Ian chose the latter, because Ian still has not observed the existence of the so-called God's egg particles in this world. But it is relatively easy to observe gravity.

Moreover, the world's graviton technology is not nothing, but under the crowding of the almighty Minovsky particle, the development is very slow.

After several months of (re)research, Ian developed the necessary pre-technology for the jump engine, the inertial control device. Production of the prototype jump engine has already begun.

Seeing the slow progress of the lab's production of the jump engine, Ian felt that it would be better to improve the basic technologies of the Federation, such as materials science, such as more advanced production technology.

"Why is the Federation's production technology so far behind...... The production process can't keep up, the materials science can't keep up, there are basically no nanomaterials, and even nanomaterials can be said to basically exist only in theory, the cost of laboratory manufacturing is high, the speed is slow, what are you doing......" Ian rolled on the bed with his head in his hands.

Ian then began researching the history of the Federation, and in 1999 he founded the Earth Federation. Well, very united civilization.

The 67th Olympic Games will be held next year...... The emmm timeline is aligned.

In other words, the year 0079 of the cosmic century is about 2163 years in the Western calendar...... Is it about 140 years behind the development of the 00 world? No wonder it has been nearly 80 years since I moved to the universe, and there are still many technologies that are much behind the 00th century......

On the timeline, Ian roughly understood why the laboratory production efficiency of both inertial and gravity control devices was so low.

"Forget it...... Ian left his lab and walked to the materials research and development group next door. I hope that the descendants of this world will not mess up, I don't want to wait a hundred years to go home. ”

"Major Chen, help me make something, it may be able to change the Federation, or it may destroy the Federation."

“…… Then you should go to General Gerp, not my little major, Lieutenant Colonel Vasti, you've made enough big news in the past few years, don't mess with me. "Major Chen has the heart to cry, destroy the Federation? Is this something I can explore as a major?

"Admiral Bill, you know I'm from outside the earth."

"Naturally, I knew it the first day you came."

"So, I have something to give to the Federation, but I'm not sure if this will destroy the Federation."

"What's that?"

"Self-increasing nanorobots can be used in both materials and engineering construction."
