Chapter 124: The Mothership is Born
The series of warships produced by the Dawn mothership is divided into four classes by Lu Yuan - the first is the Morning Star class, which is mainly test ships and various support ships; the Aurora-class, frigates, special ships, and the kind of suicide gunboats that Yakumo Blue said; Dawn Moon, integrated cruiser; Chaoyang class, the main dreadnought.
As for why it is so named, it is simply because the mothership is called "Dawn", and these words are related to Dawn...... So everyone discussed it and it was decided.
According to this division rule, although the first battleship to be completed in the dockyard was a cruiser, it was still named "Daystar No. 1" because it was still an experimental prototype and was more of a technical verification. Only when the technology is mature and officially enters the mass production link, will it be divided by the Xiaoyue level, and the others are equal.
"We currently need 12 months to build such a cruiser, and the construction of the dockyard is no less slow. At the moment only two cruisers can be produced at the same time, and the construction of eight cruiser docks will take seven years! And the four dreadnought docks, it will take fifteen years to complete the construction......" At this time, Yakumo Purple and Yakumo Blue had already come behind Lu Yuan. Yakumo Lan dutifully introduced to him, "The most realistic problem at present is that we have problems with both the source of various materials and the procurement of standard equipment. But the biggest bottleneck at the moment is manpower, and a million people sounds like a lot, but in fact, all of them are invested in the construction of the dock, and these jobs cannot be completed. ”
Lu Yuan was silent, the problem of human resources is an unsolvable problem for the time being. Engineers who can participate in the construction of warships are difficult to train in the first place. It's definitely not the ones that the greenskins can be filled with. In contrast, in fact, the proportion of this engineer in the population structure of the Dawn is already sky-high. If you want more, you can only find a way from the world of Mass Effect.
"Want to try it?" Looking at Lu Yuan's frowning appearance, Yakumo Zi shook his head and said.
"What? You say flying a spaceship? I thought it hadn't been made yet......" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed! He suddenly said eagerly. No matter what, boys have always had a dream of a space battleship in their hearts since they were young, and Lu Yuan is one of the patients with advanced secondary disease.
"85 per cent, and there are some less important details left. Anyway, it's space outside, and you can't fall down. Yakumo Zi said indifferently, "Only you and Li Huamei have experience piloting a starship. Now that you're back, it's better to do a basic test before you go. ”
"No problem, I'll leave the test to me!" Yakumo Blue Eyes couldn't stop it, so he could only sort out the test sheet. Lu Yuan took it casually. Said with confidence. When I see him, I don't even look at it, and I talk big. Yakumo Zi still looked very approving of it. Yakumo Lan had no choice but to give the order for the battleship to stop. After a while, the construction machinery on both sides of the battleship was put away one after another, and the engineers who were working inside the "Daystar One" were all evacuated.
"Let's go inside." Lu Yuanxing said excitedly, and then walked in first.
Although the prototype of the golden cruiser is quite complete on the outside, when you go inside, you will find that it is only half of the work. When the three of them entered the cabin, even the main deck where they had landed was only half full. There is also a large open space on both sides of the simple fence on the side.
Lu Yuan looked at it carefully with interest. Although there are still large areas of exposed hulls inside, the walls are full of messy wiring, and many places have not yet installed lighting, so they simply put an energy lamp to charge it. Even so, those rigid metals, rough layouts, and cold colors give the interior of the battleship a kind of beauty of the big industrial era, which unexpectedly makes people's blood boil, so that Lu Yuan can't wait to pilot it! Even the mutilated numbers on paper were left behind by him!
He excitedly followed the instructions and walked down the hallway, about to step onto the bridge, and then ...... I saw a bunch of noisy bear children!
Lu Yuan turned around, and Yayun Zi spread his hands helplessly. Trying to get rid of these bears within the reach of the Dawn is a pipe dream!
"Nana~" didn't want his first time to be ruined like this, Lu Yuan flattered and called for Alona. As a result, Nana gave him a fierce look, and turned her head away with a hum, making Lao Lu stiffen there. However, Lu Yuan secretly ran back this time, but he didn't go to Nana for the first time, and he should be resented......
Lu Yuan scratched his head, so he had to familiarize himself with the driving situation first. Don't look at the fact that this battleship is 3.5 kilometers long, which is equivalent to the volume of three Star Alliance dreadnoughts put together. In fact, the cruiser's automation range is quite high, and most of the capacity will be occupied by shell armor, various weapons, vehicles, and ammunition, and the maintenance deck occupies seven of the ten decks, and only three provide free space for humans to move around without armor.
The entire battleship is almost all VI control zhì, and the design goal is very simple, and it is born for combat, so the rated crew is only 25+30 people. The last 30 of them are also members of the Marine Corps.
The bridge was located in the middle of the battleship, and the huge teardrop-shaped transparent porthole above the wheelhouse, from the outside, was nothing more than an inconspicuous patch of golden-polished shell. If you are not familiar with the structure of this kind of battleship, you will not be able to make a targeted attack at all, and destroy the bridge in one shot.
The wheelhouse, located on the main deck, has an area of about 1,000 square meters and has a triangular layout. Along the side are two rows of computers and holographic screens, on which various red and blue targets are constantly flashing, and the bear children are now playing here. The triangle near the tip and at the bottom of the triangle each has a peculiar-looking position—a large floating chair surrounded by a circle of holographic windows that are showing off the full number of battleships.
In front is the position of the pilot's controller, and behind is the captain, and the two are about a hundred meters apart.
There is no driver at the moment, and Lu Yuan transferred the pilot control to the captain. In addition, another important authority of the captain is to control the main gun and the firing button of the pyrolysis torpedo. Because the main gun is extremely powerful and can only be fired once every 30 seconds, it is extremely important to know the timing of the shot. As a top priority, most of this authority is in the hands of the captain.
The other 6 secondary guns and 24 close defense guns were handed over to the control platforms distributed along the perimeter of the cab, which were the ones that Alona and the others were playing. At present, they switched to the virtual system to jerk off, and they were shouting and shouting, completely ignoring Lu Yuan's feelings......
"Nana, they've been playing here for a long time, they've been hitting planes with close-range guns, and they're qualified testers." Hearing Yayun Lan say this, why did Lu Yuan feel that his heart was sour, as if he had been NTR for the first time?
*****
"Daystar One, let's go!" Lu Yuan said to himself, full of grievances and nowhere to say - because of the great gods on the side, Yakumo Lan was concentrating on eating fried tofu, the bear children were playing games, and Yakumo Zi was sleeping on him, and he didn't know why he could sleep so soundly when he was standing, and someone was completely taking care of him......
Lao Lu's heart burst into tears, and what about the Navy March?! What about the launching ceremony? What about champagne? What about flowers? …… I'd love to wave at the crowd!
It's a pity that there is nothing...... Only the holographic walls that appeared around the battleship cut off the connection between the dock and the mothership, and then the hull in front of the "Daystar One" opened, revealing the deep black cosmic world and the moon hanging at the edge of the field of vision.
"Let's go......" Lu Yuan said gloomily as he stood in front of his chair. He first warmed up the engine, and then started the mass core pair by pair. When the effect field stabilized, Lu Yuan stretched out his finger and lightly clicked on a holographic button that "started", and the hull began to vibrate.
“Surprise!” At this time, both the children who were playing the game and Yakumo Blue shouted together! Immediately, the main god Xing Yan, Ke Xue, Lady Dawn, Misha and all the friends on the boat applauded and walked out of the surrounding aisles.
A crackling crackle rang out, and confetti and streamers flew in the cab! A group of bear children bounced around the cab with their horns and pulled out a large cake from behind.
"Wow~!" Lu Yuan sighed in disbelief, and then a stream of water splashed down from the top of his head.
Yakumo smiled and carried a large bottle of champagne and poured him from head to toe.
