Chapter 986: Test Base
As Xiao Cheng, who studies the structure of starships, naturally likes it very much, and he took a commuter bicycle in the base all the way to the vicinity of the factory, he did not choose to go directly to the No. 1 battleship test factory where Yun Congming was located, but went up from the equipment test area on the lower floor.
Each equipment test area is divided into different independent workshops according to different functions, and even according to the export version and the self-use version, there are different teams responsible for the division of labor.
These engineers are basically young faces, very few people with old faces, in terms of the total number, less than thirty percent of the employees are technicians from the Starship Equipment Maintenance Department who have served in the major star thieves in the Shattered Star Domain, and they have been sent here to become the team after a short period of further study in the first batch of higher technical institutions established by the Tianxin Legion in advance.
Among the remaining sixty percent of the personnel, more than fifty percent are technical personnel who have returned from various star fields or recruited by themselves after the Tianxin Legion unified the Shattered Star Domain, most of these people are well-educated and have many years of on-the-job experience, and they are the main engineers and technical experts here.
There is also a percent, which is the top talents recruited by the Tianxin Legion through the talent introduction plan from the Tiannan Democratic State and other external countries under favorable conditions, of course, this is inseparable from the secret support of the old man An Cheng, otherwise, how could these people be willing to come to such a small place as the Shattered Star Domain?
These top engineers and experts are the top heads of various departments, and they have signed technical assistance agreements ranging from one year to five years with the Tianxin Legion, and they have more guidance on key technical research, and the technical level of the Tianxin Legion itself has improved by leaps and bounds, although it is far from being comparable to the technology mastered by Nuwa, but it has also had good development prospects.
Xiao Cheng naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, these people were also hired by him to teach in various colleges and universities in addition to work, and cultivate more outstanding talents for the Tianxin Army.
During the war with the Estar Federation, these people were all concentrated in the consulate of the Tiannan Democratic State and resettled, and they saw the war potential of the Tianxin Legion, and now they have returned here, and their attitude is much better than before.
Xiao Cheng didn't bother, and they quietly walked through the corridor outside.
In the meantime, engineering robots, transportation robots, and various auxiliary robots shuttled through the wide corridors, and from time to time a series of flying robots swept overhead, which were patrol robots in the base
Looking at the hundreds of busy staff, as well as the flashing lights of various tests, Xiao Cheng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, remembering that when he first arrived due to an accident, it was still a dilapidated scene.
There are mottled and painted bare metal walls everywhere, and a considerable part of the equipment is damaged and cannot be used properly.
At that time, the Dulong Star Bandits were entrenched here, and they only regarded this place as a hidden lair, and they were unable to repair it.
The star thieves could only open a part of the space of the base with violence, and coupled with the extremely low level of cognition and technology, this nearly 300-year-old base was completely buried of its due value.
However, in just a few years since the establishment of the Tianxin Legion, not only has the already dilapidated base been renovated, and all the development functions of all areas have been activated one by one, but also a large-scale expansion has been carried out on the basis of the original base, so that there is a thriving scene today.
If there is also this place as a cover, the outside world will not know that the true foundation of the Tianxin Legion has been transferred to the wormhole base of the Aitongzhuo Star Domain, where the ongoing construction and various experiments far exceed the level of this side.
Of course, these are all later words, leaving the equipment test center, Xiao Cheng came to the first starship test plant where Yun Congming was located.
Walking into the metal gate, he saw Yun Congming from a distance directing everyone to remove useless equipment.
Seeing Xiao Cheng come in, a smile appeared on his face, he gave a few instructions to his assistant, and walked over quickly.
"Captain, come here! It's waiting for you! ”
He pointed back as he spoke.
Xiao Cheng looked down, in the center of the test plant area of Nuoda, a huge battleship with a dark body was quietly supported in the center by many engineering supports, and the appearance was not unusual, the standard shuttle-shaped hull, the visual axis was more than 100 meters long, and it was not much different from the conventional frigate.
"There were only six thrusters inside, and I went out two days ago to test how well the thruster engine fits it." Yun Congming walked forward with him and introduced, "Conventional frigate thruster engines need to be arranged at least 16 to meet its maneuverability. ”
There are 4 more thrusters than we had previously estimated, because this is the first prototype test ship, and the materials are not fully considered for lightweight, if there are no problems with the hull, the next step will be to install various equipment modules one by one for testing, and start the production of the second test ship......"
Speaking of which, you haven't been back in a long time! This is my return gift to you, are you satisfied? ”
Yun Congming's face was full of smug smiles, it was difficult to find the haggard color that he had gone through all kinds of tortures, and it could be seen that he was indeed very happy here.
Xiao Cheng nodded: "This is indeed the best gift!" ”
Stretching out his hand a little, the basic information of the YE217 frigate, which was renamed "Spoiler", appeared on the light screen in front of him.
The two of them walked and chatted with the observation center on the upper floor, and the engineers below had basically completed the clearance of the equipment, and followed the brisk walk to the upper floor.
"Previously, we were equipped with our own standard frigate shipboard optical brain host processor chip, and it turned out that it could not meet the uniform magnetic distribution control of the hull and the intelligent control of the layer of armor structure, so we had to temporarily carry a clone chipset of our strongest host Tianxin."
However, due to the cost of Tianxin host, it cannot be popularized in the future, so it is necessary to develop or purchase a matching independent optical brain chipset. ”
I prefer the 'Whisper 256' shipborne optical brain chipset of the Tiannan Democratic Country, although it is marked as suitable for unconventional frigates, but in fact, it has exceeded the computing power required by the main engine of the frigate destroyer, and the price is also very appropriate. ”
"I still have to develop my own light-brain host chipset." Xiao Cheng shook his head, "In the future, this series of warships will become our main warships, if the core technology of the shipborne main engine is in the hands of outsiders, it will be stuck in the neck-"
"Anyway, at present, we have been supplemented by a batch of elite warships of the Estar Federation that are quite acceptable, and we are not in a hurry to replace this type of warship."
