On the evening of the 29th, after Lu Chen entered the dock, the task of Bai Xiao's escort team had been completed, but the superiors were still worried about Lu Chen's safety.

So let Bai Xiao and the others wait in place, ready to ask Lu Chen tomorrow whether they would continue to shelter or prepare to sail to sea after transforming the ship.

On the morning of the 30th, Lu Chen got up and washed up in the RV, and then came to the side of the holographic platform to prepare for the design of the transformation plan.

The coast guard ship is displayed on the holographic platform, and the data shows that the entire coast guard ship is 160 meters long, 26 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, four large diesel engines, a speed of 25 knots, and the ability to travel a distance of 5,000 nautical miles, with a gun emplacement reserved in the bow and a helicopter platform in the stern.

Looking at this data, Lu Chen felt that this giant ship had a lot of room for transformation, first of all, the power system,

The original power system was four high-power marine diesel engines provided by the large MAN company, with a total output of 5,000 horsepower.

However, the fuel consumption is serious, and Lu Chen does not have so much oil to use, and one of its own oil production platforms also needs to trade the extracted oil to the Dragon Kingdom official, so the power system has to be retransformed.

Of course, the ideal is to use a nuclear reactor for power, but its own uranium ore has been mined, and no new uranium mine has been found yet.

Therefore, it can only be driven by electric energy, and in the early stage, because of its own fuel shortage and environmental impact, it is relatively deep in the study of motors.

The technical conditions for the use of an all-electric propulsion system have been fully met, and the technologies such as high-energy batteries and high-speed propulsion motors are available in-house.

Lu Chen enlarged the coast guard ship, then took out the four diesel engines, modified the original space, installed two sets of electric propulsion systems in the symmetrical two spaces, and then installed two removable battery compartments in the other two spaces.

Lu Chen's design standard, these two battery compartments weigh up to 5 tons, can store millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity, and after all the equipment is turned on, it is enough to drive a distance of more than 8,000 nautical miles in the sea continuously.

After the power transformation was completed, Lu Chen aimed at the keel position again,

After researching a special titanium alloy by himself, it has always been used in submarine prospecting robots, and this time it can be put to great use.

After calculating the consumption of replacing the original keel with this special envoy titanium alloy keel, 500 tons of materials need to be used, Lu Chen feels that the consumption is a bit too large, if the made titanium alloy is used, there are too many materials, and he does not have so many reserves.

However, if you use nano nests for transformation, you need to prepare at least 100 tons of titanium alloy and other materials if you use the materials provided by yourself.

So Lu Chen took this as a long-term project, and then transformed it after the materials were sufficient.

However, the keel cannot be transformed for the time being, but all the cabins under the ship's control room can be hollowed out, and then a large server matrix can be built inside to be used as a data center for artificial intelligence.

Then carry out some mechanization transformation in the ship, so that artificial intelligence can monitor the status of the ship and navigation data in real time.

Then install a liftable twin electromagnetic gun on the reserved gun position in the bow position, set up a replaceable power supply battery and ammunition depot next to it, select 50 kg projectile, design attack distance of 50 kilometers, ammunition reserve of 1000 rounds, and set up an automatic ammunition feeding device.

In addition, considering that the current sea surface is seriously frozen, it is also necessary to add an ice-breaking device to the bow of the ship, otherwise it will be the tragedy of the Titanic back then.

Finally, in the original helipad, because I am used to using UAVs, so in the original cabin for storing helicopters, it is directly transformed into a UAV hangar, and the upper apron is used to place reconnaissance UAVs, and the UAV cabin below is an attack UAV.

The attack drone used the multi-barreled electromagnetic gun on the original gunboat, but Lu Chen weakened it, after all, the drone cabin here is not so big, so the designed drone laughed a lot,

Finally, there is the problem of aerial bombs, after all, if it is only an electromagnetic gun, it can carry out point attacks, but it cannot be used for surface attacks, and in case you encounter other types of mutant beasts such as giant ants in the future, bombs that attack in a large area can play a good role.

However, Lu Chen had not studied bombs before, and now it is a little too late to research, so he is now using some mining explosives found in the mining area for transformation.

After all these designs were completed, Lu Chen looked at the coast guard ship on the platform, and always felt that there was still something missing.

Suddenly thinking that he had not yet named his first ship, after thinking for a while, Lu Chen decided to name the coast guard ship "Morning Star", which means his wish for the stars and the sea.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen suddenly found that there was still a lack of air defense systems, and reserved the positions of two air defense electromagnetic guns on each side of the sides.

Now I feel much better when I look at the coast guard ship, and I can start to renovate it, but Lu Chen is not so big-hearted, and he will directly install the weapon system in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, first carry out the transformation of the power and hull, and reserve the position of the gun position.

After removing the weapon system on the coast guard ship and retaining the gun position, Lu Chen transferred the design to the nanocore.

And add the number and variety of existing materials, and finally after the calculation of the nanocore, a total of 4,000 energy points are required for this transformation.

Lu Chen looked at the time, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and the energy in the nanocore had accumulated to 6,700 points, which was enough for this use.

Lu Chen used 4,000 points of energy to make a nano worm nest, and after driving his RV out, he activated the worm nest to start the ship transformation.

Lu Chen looked at it and estimated that it would take a lot of time, so he drove the RV out first,

And just after Lu Chen came out, he received Li Yunpeng's communication, and after connecting, Li Yunpeng's voice came

"Mr. Lu, the coast guard ship has received it, right?"

"Team Leader Li, I have already received it, and some automation transformation is underway to facilitate unmanned driving,"

"Mr. Lu is still as powerful as ever! By the way, Mr. Lu, the superior called you this time to tell you that after receiving the ship, whether it is returning to the shelter or preparing to sail to sea, the team escorting you this time can always follow you and protect your safety if needed. ”

Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and felt that this proposal was not bad, and he had not yet designed a real guard robot, and the existing two except for the seabed prospecting robot had both the functions of prospecting and mining, and the tasks of the hexapod robot were very many

For example, maintenance, manufacturing, mining, guarding, attacking, etc., so Lu Chen is ready to wait for the ship to be transformed, and after going to sea to the No. 1 shelter, he will redesign two robots, the original hexapod robot will do his own old business of maintenance and manufacturing, and he will redesign a guard robot and mining robot,

Wait until the design is complete before you start exploring the world.

"Team Leader Li, thank you for your kindness, after the completion of this transformation, I am going to go to sea for a while, since the meteorite fell to the present, I have been busy, and I have not relaxed well, just take this opportunity to take a good rest"

"In that case, I will give Mr. Lu an identification code, so that if he encounters any trouble overseas, he can get help from local comrades by showing the identification code."

"Then think about Team Leader Li."

After hanging up the communication, Li Yunpeng asked someone to send a new order to Bai Xiao's side.

And Bai Xiao, who was waiting for the order, also received a new task, and after reading the mission briefing, Bai Xiao summoned the team members,

Two minutes later, all the team members were assembled, looking at the 20 team members in front of him, Bai Xiao said: "I just received an order from my superiors, I have communicated with Mr. Lu, and we need to continue to protect, and this time we are going to go to sea with Mr. Lu, so everyone must be vigilant,"

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Wait for each to clean up, and gather to find Mr. Lu in 5 minutes and disband!"

"Yes!"

After everyone disbanded, they quickly cleaned up, and then quickly gathered, and under the leadership of Bai Xiao, they began to meet with Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen hung up the phone, he contacted Shelter No. 1 and shouted that Shelter No. 1 should find a nearby shipyard and occupy it for the follow-up transformation of the "Morning Star".

After a while, Lu Chen saw Bai Xiao's convoy start approaching, and knew that he should have received an order, so he came over.

After Lu Chen got out of the car, Bai Xiao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu, our department was ordered to come to report, and we will act with Mr. Lu to protect Mr. Lu in the future." ”

"Team Leader Bai doesn't need to be so formal, everyone knows each other, relax, there should be no problem with this trip, now the inside is being renovated, and you can go to sea when the transformation is completed tomorrow, so today you can find a place to rest."

After a pause, Lu Chen said again: "By the way, I just remembered that after leaving tomorrow, your vehicle will not be able to get on the boat, so you still need to notify and let the people from your department drive the car back." ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Lu for reminding me." Bai Xiao is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not be the leader of this group.

After ordering the team members to camp nearby, Bai Xiao also notified the nearby stronghold to come over tomorrow to recover the vehicle.

That's it, all night without words,

The next day, Lu Chen walked into the dock, the Morningstar inside had been refitted, walked into the server matrix cabin under the bridge, and imported Zero's copy program into it.

After arriving at the bridge, after waiting for a while, all the systems on the ship began to start, except for the power system, which was not moving, other such as lighting, cameras, detectors, sensors, and heating and life support systems were all activated.

Seeing that Zero was conducting a self-inspection, Lu Chen stepped off the ship, drove the RV into the cabin, beckoned Bai Xiao and others to get on the boat, and after the zero self-inspection was completed and confirmed that there was no problem, he could go to sea.
