Chapter 695: Upgrading the Industrial System
36,000 kilometers above the ground in a synchronous orbit.
In the depths of the heavily guarded space shipbuilding base, thousands of scientific researchers and engineering experts are busy at their respective posts, and on the huge slipway, two 350-meter-long, smooth black warships have been completed and are undergoing the final routine inspection procedures.
According to the design indicators, its maximum jump distance is one billion kilometers, and it can jump once in twelve hours, so that it only takes more than half a month to reach the position of the natural wormhole from near the lunar orbit.
"It still feels a little unsatisfactory, but it's acceptable."
Qin Feng on the observation platform looked at the two warships and muttered softly.
Xiao Yuehan beside him smiled and said: "Your Majesty, everything is difficult at the beginning, after all, it is the first time for the empire to try to build such a warship, it is understandable that the technical indicators are a little conservative, and after they are put into use for a period of time and accumulate enough experience, they can develop better warships." ”
"Well, that's the same thing."
Qin Feng nodded, although there is complete technical information, but the commissioning of each new capital warship is not a trivial matter, it belongs to an unprecedentedly huge system project, and there are too many things involved in all aspects.
In the main world, the director of the Ukrainian Black Sea Shipyard, Makarov, once said that the successful completion of the Varyag aircraft carrier requires the cooperation of the Soviet Union, the State Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission, nine ministries of defense industry, 8,000 supporting manufacturers, and millions of workers and technicians.
As a more complex and difficult starry warship, the conditions that need to be met are naturally more than equal, the hull alloy materials, supporting instruments and equipment, shipboard weapons and ammunition, air and space fighters, etc. must be redesigned and manufactured, and if it is necessary to upgrade the industrial production and manufacturing system of the empire on a large scale, as well as the training of various crew members, and the perfect logistics maintenance and support plan, etc., every link must not be sloppy.
Therefore, although this technology only cost one billion origins at the beginning, in order to ensure that the empire has the ability to build independently in batches as soon as possible, a lot of related supporting equipment and technical information have been exchanged in the future, plus the training of technical experts and engineers in this area, it took more than 40 billion origins to get it scattered.
Of course, such a price is worth it, the comprehensive performance of the new warships has opened up a significant generation gap with the Empire's active warships, the overall combat capability has been greatly improved, and even the Empire's technical level in the fields of space science and technology, industrial manufacturing, and high-power fusion reactors has improved a lot.
More importantly, this means that the empire has truly stood in front of the gate to the other side of the starry sea, and becoming an interstellar civilization in the full sense of the word is just around the corner.
Moments later, the director of the base came over to announce that the No. 1 battleship had completed all preparations before liftoff, and the entire crew was in place. Qin Feng then walked down the observation platform with a group of senior officers and boarded the ship along the special passage.
In the core main control room, Qin Feng completed the procedure of establishing the ultimate control authority on the command console in the central area, such a national important weapon, naturally it can only be controlled by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and must not be faked.
"Your Majesty, can you set sail now?" The captain came over and saluted.
"Yes."
Qin Feng said, entering the password command on the console in front of him, and pressed the red start button of the main energy reactor.
From the outside, the slender yet heavy hull trembled slightly, slowly leaving the slipway under the action of the anti-gravity field, and flew towards the void overhead. A full fleet of warships plus a number of special engineering ships followed, ready to deal with certain contingencies that could occur.
After a period of low-speed sailing, the battleship gradually increased to its maximum speed, and after confirming that everything was normal, with Qin Feng's permission, it finally entered the most important space jump test link.
All personnel in the main control room are dressed in special protective gear and sit in designated positions, and the magnetic safety latches automatically reach out to hold their bodies in place.
"Program Verified Passed ......"
"Spatial coordinates are accurately located ......"
"Energy Fills ......"
"Spatial Jump Engine Starts ......"
A pale red progress bar appeared on the stereoscopic projection screen, stretching unhurriedly, reaching its peak sixty seconds later.
Without warning, the battleship in the void was surrounded by a cloud of blue light, and after a few seconds, it vanished, leaving the place empty.
Somewhere in the airspace near Jupiter, a large cloud of dark blue light suddenly appeared, and after a moment, it slowly dispersed, revealing the battleship hidden inside.
Seeing the familiar Jupiter outside the bright porthole, the red spots on the planet's surface were clearly visible, and all the crew members couldn't help but cheer.
"The first space jump is over, the hull and all the instruments and equipment are normal, Your Majesty, everything is going well." The captain said happily.
Qin Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, continue the rest of the experimental projects, and when you go back, you will all have rewards!" ”
This is an expected result, after all, the scientific and technological level of the empire is there, and it is not far from breaking through this technological bottleneck, and now that there is a ready-made technical reference, everything is a matter of course.
As for the next generation of warships, the planning has also been completed, the 550-meter-long hull can reach a maximum jump distance of 3 billion kilometers, and it can jump once in six hours, so that it will take less than three days to reach the location of the natural wormhole from near the lunar orbit.
"Your Majesty, how many warships of this type are you going to build?" Song Xueyao asked.
Qin Feng pondered: "Let's build ten ships first, and when the relevant industrial system is perfected, we can start the manufacturing plan for the next generation of warships." ”
With the capabilities of the empire's large industrial system, ten warships can start construction at the same time, and it can be completed within half a year at most. Then, industrial workers and specialists with sufficient engineering experience can smoothly move on to the construction of new warships.
Therefore, the construction process of this first batch of warships is used for training, and the next generation of warships is the ideal target ship of the empire. In addition, supporting large transport ships, reconnaissance ships, early warning command ships and other types of ships will start construction one after another.
By the time the Empire is equipped with hundreds of these warships and formed a fully functional combat formation cluster, even the meteorite of the rot-clawed lizardmen will have the power to fight against it.
A day later, all the tests were successfully completed, and after returning to the shipbuilding base, the director of the base took the printed test appraisal report and sent it to the members of the evaluation panel for them to sign and approve one by one, and then to the important ministers of the military department, and finally to His Majesty the Emperor.
Qin Feng happily signed, marking the successful completion of this important project related to the fate of human civilization and the future of the empire.
Returning to the imperial palace at the top of Kunlun, Qin Feng accompanied the daughters for more than a month, and saw that there were no major events at home and abroad, so he decided to return to the Great Chu world to have a look.
The world that he crossed for the first time still maintained the appearance of an agricultural dynasty, but under the stimulus of prosperous overseas trade, the treasury had a rich surplus every year, so the taxes of the people of Li have been maintained at a low level, and the private industry has prospered, and there is gradually a prosperous era.
Mining bases on all continents are still in full swing, and most of the resources produced are being shipped back to the Overworld, and most of them are supplied to the Doomsday World.
"Actually...... This side is also a complete Star Sea World, and when the strength is enough in the future, maybe you can consider bringing a group of fleets over to expand the territory here. Qin Feng pondered in his heart.
Of course, this plan is far away, and it's just a matter of thinking about it now.
"Husband-sama,"
Zhao Xinyue, who was dressed up and had a delicate face, leaned over and bit his ear and said, "Let's go to learn to drive together later, and the queen mother will come later." ”
"Well, let's be together!"
Qin Feng agreed.
A moment later, on the martial arts arena in the National Teacher's Mansion, a brand-new electric car was buzzing and starting, Zhao Xinyue was excitedly sitting in the main driver's seat and controlling the steering wheel, and the radiant queen in a snow-white dress sat next to her and looked at her daughter with a smile.
For this kind of high-tech products in the main world, the mother and daughter can't put it down, and they will come over to pull Qin Feng to travel in the car whenever they are free.
