In the core area of Beta City, there was a long queue in front of the portal to Zeta District, and everyone's faces were full of eagerness, as if they were going to miss something big if they didn't hurry up.

The door frame of the portal is full of two-dimensional "ship mother" images, which is actually a "pain door". The beautiful young ladies were cos horn whales, big horn whales, killer whales, black whales, gray whales, fin whales, ghost whales and young kun, and also divided into navy and air force livery in dark blue and light gray, and enthusiastically distributed promotional materials to passers-by.

Looking at this scene, Herp, director of the Equipment Engineering Bureau of the Legion Committee, Katamon, director of the Aviation Bureau of the Science, Technology and Industry Committee, and Harlem, director of the Military Industry Bureau of the National Manufacturing Center, covered their faces in unison.

"Your Majesty Cheyenne can really do it, the Aviator Commune was led crooked by him, and many pilots have made the interactive interface of the main control ethereal spirit look like this. ”

"It's the age of ethereal spirits, from airplanes to warships, ethereal spirits are the core, and anthropomorphism is inevitable. After all, from the ethereal spirit to the wise spirit, the real soul is missing. ”

"The navy has officially established the carry-on ethereal spirits for officers and soldiers, and in the future, new warships will also be put into service as the main control ethereals, rather than equipment. ”

Following the team, the three senior managers of the Red Alliance's military industry muttered in a low voice.

The pedestrians in front and behind were also talking in low voices, and the topics were both related and very different from the three bureau chiefs.

"Kenny, aren't you on the night shift?

"The operating system of the robotic arm has been updated again, and I am afraid that what I learned in the training center before will be outdated, so I will go over and familiarize myself with it first. By the way, where are you going, why can't I see your class number? ”

"Hehe, I'm going to the supply tower to do the final stage of the integrated wiring inspection. ”

"It's too much, we can only install equipment outside and knock on the skin, but you get into the built battleship!"

"Who made you think that wiring was too troublesome before, and only took the mechanical arm operation certificate, and when I get the assembly certificate again, I can be a supervisor and shout at you. ”

"Are you going to work as a civil servant in a manufacturing center?

"It's just talking, but I really want to enter the mechanical commune in the future, if I don't have extraordinary strength, I have to rely on my professional certificate in this area, and then the florist business will be taken care of by my wife haha. ”

Most of the people crowded in front of the portal are going to the military industrial subdivision of the national manufacturing center, they are not full-time workers, but they have received corresponding training in normal times and can take on secondary jobs.

The Battle for the Heart of the Silver Moon has begun, and the army is rapidly expanding, requiring the construction of a large number of warplanes and warships. Relying on Zhiling Chenguang and the automatic production line alone was already too busy, the Red Union released the labor demand through the service center, and a large number of people entered the factory to fill the manpower gap.

These people are civilians, because they are still in the era of the alternation of the old and the new, unlike the new generation of the Red Alliance, who can achieve extraordinary strength as adults. They usually do the most ordinary work in various industries of society, and receive various part-time education in their spare time, and can take on all kinds of jobs that do not require extraordinary strength.

For civilians, basic guarantees are only a minimum of dignity and protection from freezing and starvation. People are afraid of comparison, who wouldn't want to be able to eat and dress better, live more comfortably, and be respected?

There are different ways to live a better life, and in other countries and places, plundering, exploiting, and abducting people by status, connections, strength, or wisdom are naturally shortcuts, and labor is only the stupidest and slowest way. But in the Red Union, labor is the most important and the fastest way.

A family of four can get four units of living space (27 cubic meters per unit), magic bread that not many people can eat as much as you want, and electricity to ensure a comfortable life for everyone to take a hot shower every day, ventilation and constant temperature of the space. In addition to this, there is a living allowance of close to one hundred red silver coins.

Red and silver coins are smaller units than red coins, and they cannot be cashed out and cannot be converted into contribution points, so they can only buy daily necessities such as food and clothing. One hundred red silver coins is enough to eat hot food every day between four bites, and you can also eat meat every other day.

This kind of life is the dream of ordinary people in the world of Fein, but in the Red Union, people who are sound and sober-minded and still live this kind of life dare not go out because it is too humiliating.

A living space of 100 cubic meters, even if the floor pressure is 2 meters, that is, a house of 50 square meters, is too crowded for a family of four......

I can only eat fresh vegetables and meat every few days, and the complexion on my face is obviously different from that of the person who eats at the meal, not to mention the cooking skills and the attention to drinks such as tea, coffee, and fruit wine, which do not mix into the basic topics of other people......

Wearing clothes and pants woven by automatic looms, not only the fabric is rough, but the color and style are also the most simple and concise......

In this kind of "low-income" family, children are taken care of by school, and there is no gap between them, and adults are embarrassed to show up.

But as long as you work, even if it's just sweeping the streets, the situation will be different.

Cleaners in various cities work eight hours a day, and there are forty contribution points a month. Drivers who drive public shuttles have 80 contribution points a month. To add a residential unit, you only need two to three hundred contribution points.

The training centres run by the service centre in conjunction with the commune associations are free of charge, and two or three hours a day are available to obtain an entry certificate for another profession in two or three months. At that time, even if you stay in the training center as a part-time lecturer, you can still have dozens of contribution points every month.

Cleaners are one of the most basic jobs for civilians who have no resources, and the vast majority of civilians move to more senior jobs within a year. Among them, machinery manufacturing is the industry with the most categories and the largest number of personnel. With an average monthly income of 120 contribution points, it is enough for a family of four to live a decent life. If it's just a part-time job, it's better than full-time manual labor.

The large crowd of civilians crowded here today is indeed here to contribute points, but not only to contribute points.

For civilians who do not have extraordinary strength and are unable to join the military and engage in other high-level jobs, there may not be any concept of serving the country. But to defend the country is to defend their existing life, and they understand this kind of superficial truth, and what they can do is to do their part with their labor.

In total, 200,000 nationally manufactured jobs have been posted by the Red Union National Service Center, but nearly 600,000 people are competing. Many people have easier and higher-paying jobs, and there are even many extraordinary people, which shows the popularity of the Red Union.

Many people in the crowd also discussed their signatures, and every part of each fighter plane and every warship, including every piece of skin, would have a digital signature that provided quality tracking.

Wrapped in such an atmosphere, the three directors passed through the portal to the Zeta area, and when they were in the vast forbidden area, their hearts still flowed with a burning breath.

"The central government is always prescient, and every step can pave the way for future development. ”

Sitting on the repulsion car, Help said with emotion. He is also the person who is most qualified to express this feeling, when the cardinal and the blue dragon took him to start the exploration of the aviation industry, the current situation is probably expected long ago.

Of course, not to mention the aircraft that pioneered aviation, and Help couldn't help coughing every time he remembered the shape of that thing.

"It's not a forced ......"

The younger Katamun finally had the courage to stand on a high place and look at the exchanges: "Ignoring those scattered workshops, just counting the Fleet City of Redstone, the Santarin Society, the Angel City of Saqiton, the Holy Order City of Valentine, and the Flying Boat District of Lion King City, there are nearly two million people in the Dawning Empire who are engaged in the construction of flying ships and warships, which is almost half of the population of our Red Alliance. ”

"We also rely on intelligent and automatic production lines and auxiliary mechanized production, as well as advanced design concepts, manufacturing processes and production management, so that less than 200,000 workers can surpass the Shuguang Empire in terms of production efficiency. ”

Harlem added: "Only one-tenth of these 200,000 workers are full-time, and the rest are all part-time. ”

Maxine Harlem was originally a famous figure at the same time as Mikhail, but after Harlem invented the magic guide gun, his interest shifted from the magic guide gun to the mechanical field, and later quit the scientific research institute and founded the mechanical commune.

After the development of the Machinery Commune was on the right track, he returned to the state department and participated in the preparation of the national manufacturing center, with the goal of creating a machining system dedicated to serving the overall needs of the country.

To put it simply, it's a gigafactory. All kinds of machinery and equipment, military equipment, as well as basic production and living materials that do not take into account individual needs are carried out by this super factory.

When Harlem was training at the Central Center, he was really excited to hear about this grand goal. When it was actually put into practice, he encountered countless problems, but fortunately, with the progress of ethereal technology, one difficulty after another was overcome, and the prospect that the cardinal had described was no longer a vast astral realm in his eyes, but a star clearly visible at night.

At the beginning, the cardinal mentioned the concepts of "industrial four-point zero", "intelligent manufacturing", "streamlined manufacturing" and so on, saying that the national manufacturing center is an attempt. And not only an attempt in the direction of productivity, but also in the direction of production relations, and now Harlem also understands it.

"Industry is a complete set of links, from raw materials to semi-finished products, to parts, and finally to products, through circulation to people, and finally realize its value. Of all the links, what is the link where people can give full play to their value?"

"Knowledge allows us to discover more and better raw materials, wisdom allows us to invent more convenient tools and better processes, and humanity allows us to discover more needs, and ideals...... The ideal of making everyone happier is the purest, most powerful, and most correct driving force. ”

"In contrast, we can clearly see that the place where people can exert the greatest value in industry is not to participate in production, but to discover needs based on ideals, invent tools, and improve processes. ”

"So, the best thing for people to get the most out of is that people just have to create. What people need, what ideas, the manufacturing center turns it into a product, into a reality. People don't have to care about the intermediate production links, it can even adjust itself, improve and evolve based on people's choices in terms of efficiency, cost, and all levels and directions. ”

"To do this, we have to bring all the production processes together as a transparent backdrop. Everyone can use it in a legitimate and reasonable way, and it is not in the permanent possession of any person or organization. ”

"This is not only a high-level presentation of productive forces, but also a high-level presentation of production relations, and is an essential feature of the development of Datongist society to an advanced stage......

"It's just the beginning, so we're just exploring. However, I believe that even if this ideal is only initially realized, we will have enough of a productive advantage to crush the enemies of the old era, and far ahead of the enemies that will inevitably rise later. ”

Recalling the cardinal's prophecy, which seemed obscure at the time, Harlem's heart was now clear.

At the same time, a raging flame also ignited in his heart, and the battle to defend the silver moon in front of him was also a severe test for the national manufacturing center. Providing the army with enough and good equipment to meet the needs of the army to win this war is only the most basic task. Through this war, the national manufacturing center will also integrate other scattered production links, not only to make the Red Union further in terms of productivity, but also to make the production relationship clearer, which is the real victory.

At the very least, in the aftermath of this war, the national manufacturing center can open up the various communes and serve as a unified backdrop to support the production activities of the entire country at all levels.

While Harlem was secretly reviewing his goals, the other two bureau chiefs were discussing their goals.

"Old man Hook yelled that he didn't want a pure main gun battleship, not even the six-turret plan of the killer whale, and insisted on the four-turret plan, and smashed my table. The forbidden area battle is going to go wrong, and he can't bear the responsibility alone. ”

"If you install a secondary destruction hammer on the killer whale, you can remove the two twin 200-electric circle guns, and replace the missiles and torpedo vertical firing shafts. ”

"The standard hammer of destruction hasn't been tested yet, the secondary hammer of destruction...... How can I have that time? ”

"How about the Energy Release Commune? That's right, the commune that spun off from the Infrastructure Commune and studied BoomBoom all day long. ”

"Those goblins!?Catamun, there's a limit to joking!"

"After the Infinite Alliance mode was successfully verified on the Floating Fortress and the first Arrow Kun, we took another big step forward in the energy control level, and this is when the Commune is just in time to follow up and do more detailed applications. ”

"Then we have to fight a decisive battle after the situation is stabilized, and we can't let the technical risks be so big that they affect the course of the war!"

"Speaking of which...... Where are we going to see first, Archer Kun?"

"No, come with Harlem to see the bighorn whales and killer whales, they are still the main force in the early stages of the showdown. ”

The repulsion car turned into the tunnel and entered the underground slipway of the military industrial division of the National Manufacturing Center.

In the gravel wasteland where you can see the Tower of Babel, six giant towers are distributed in a semicircle several kilometers apart, and under each giant tower there is a circle of eight eye-catching white rectangular signs, some of which are turned over, and they are similar to the underground hangar door.

There is something else under the door, far from the scale of an underground hangar. They are all huge slipways that are 100 meters deep, nearly 300 meters long, and 100 meters wide.

There are component processing yards around the underground slipway, most of which are bighorn whales less than sixty or seventy meters long, a few are killer whales more than 100 meters long, and even more than 200 meters long Arrow Kun-class floating ships can lie on the slipway.

However, in a more secluded part of the Zeta District, the Arrow Kun is made by Zhiling Chenguang plus full-time workers, and this is a work area where part-time workers can participate.

Six giant towers and forty-eight slipways are not even half the size of the Dawning Empire's fleet city, but it can lift close to ten warships into the air every day. Several towers are topped by warships, connected to them by long supply bridges.

The repulsion cars of the three directors entered the slipway through a special passageway, and the repulsion rail cars, which had several carriages side by side, carried the workers on the other side of the slipway to replace the original workers. It's a rotating shift, building day and night.

The central slipway is connected to the surrounding component processing yard by a huge track, so that there is no scaffolding or workers climbing up and down, and the lights around the slipway and the zenith are as dense as stars, converging into a brighter light than day, illuminating every detail of the slipway.

The giant mechanical arm resembles a steel demon crawling out of the ground, assembling the pieces together in several directions until the overall silhouette of the battleship is formed. Several mechanical arms, ranging from human arms to meters thick, surrounded the battleship. Behind or at the bottom of each or both of the arms, there is a person operating it.

The entire slipway is covered by a barrier that allows access to the supernatural power of a specific area. Some of the mechanical arms pull components, some weld the components together with magic, some hoist the node furnace, floating furnace, jet engine or turret and other equipment into the battleship, and some assemble the magic circle and lay the skin.

At least hundreds of robotic arms work around the battleship, and many processes are carried out at the same time, without interfering with each other. In the console above the slipway, the Ethereal Soul Server receives the virtual inspiration device of each robotic arm, as well as the massive amount of information from the floating cameras that travel through all corners, and automatically matches the manufacturing process explored by Zhiling Chenguang, popping up from time to time to indicate the completion of the progress of the green dot, the red dot in question, and the yellow dot in the unknown situation.

The job of the supervisor is to stop the red dots and yellow dots, to retrospectively track the operation process, and to find problems. Of course, most of the time it is only a reminder after the fact, and the operator himself can receive the warning at the same time, and the supervisor will rely on comprehensive information and personal experience to issue instructions to him.

Each slipway counts the component processing plant, and all the people are more than 1,000 people. For the current Red Alliance, such intensive human labor is completely regressive, but if it is all operated by the ethereal spirit, the large amount of uncertain information and instructions in the construction process of the warship will slow down the efficiency, and the situation will be much better if it is replaced.

Only in this way can we achieve the efficiency of only four or five days per battleship from scattered parts to final liftoff.

The workers were engrossed in the operation, and when they came in, they were all subjected to a group of soul cleansing techniques, and those who felt that they were not in a good state even drank a sip of diluted pain holy water. Although each process has a margin that can be paused, the surplus can be saved up several hours earlier and the ship can be lifted off several hours earlier, and in the slipway-based competition, it can also earn contribution points and honors.

The three bureau chiefs patrol the slipway to solve the problems they have piled up. On the slipway where they stayed, the killer whale had already entered the interior installation stage. Through the passage that protruded into the hull from the side, a number of officers and men in navy uniforms came and went, most of them with springs on their legs, and they were particularly excited.

"Awesome, I finally have killer whales......"

A short-haired female officer sat on the bridge of the ship, which had not yet been fitted with portholes, and patted the armrest of the captain's seat wrapped in foam cloth, her face glowing with happiness.

Turning his gaze to the officers and soldiers coming and going on the gangway, his expression became gloomy again.

She covered her face and muttered: "Two-thirds of the recruits, how will this battle be fought......"
