078 Underground of the Institute

"Hatsufeng, how is the PTX-006 Raptor L/R moving in and working?"

It's still not big.,But for the small Lori,It's definitely not a small director's room.,Xue Feng signed his name on various applications.,While casually asking about the first wind with the virtual image of blue hair and blue eyes on his computer.,Some of the things that are happening in the institute now.。

"The moving in of the R machine has ended, and the remaining spare parts of the L-level and the parts that have been salvaged and can still be used are being sorted out and moved in according to the classification, Sister Xuefeng."

"I didn't expect the L machine to fall in the end, and sure enough, there was a mistake in the deformation structure designed by the group of people at the headquarters that could not be ignored. By the way, what about the test pilot, that is, the southern Hibiki Cao Chang who fell with the airframe? ”

"We've already warned them, not to mention that the birds of prey aren't ours, and forcibly transforming and then disintegrating the body won't count us on our heads anyway. But seriously, it's admirable that the pilot, who is a model of a soldier, followed the orders of his commander to transform after we explained that he couldn't deform. And the final examination results were only minor injuries, which is really incredible. ”

"Minor injuries? Well, this guy is okay if the shuttle falls. ”

"Shuttle accidents? Search starts...... Finish. Ah, really! In 183, Mao's Heavy Industries requested more pilots to be mobilized to conduct various tests to further evaluate the indicators of the undead, and its shuttle carrying the elite pilots of the Cosmic Unification Army seemed to have crashed into something when it entered the atmosphere, and there was a major accident, and there were two survivors in the end: Nanbu Hibiki and Exerine Browning, right? ”

"All the others died, and both were only slightly injured! Even Exerine was just cut through a few inconsequential holes?! Are these two guys monsters?! ”

"Well, who knows. No matter what the world is, there will never be a shortage of demons and monsters! ”

Xue Feng handed aside the documents he had reviewed, leaned back in his seat, and took a small bite of ice cream in his hand. It's almost September, but it's still hot, and ice cream is almost becoming a standard. Especially for researchers who do a lot of mental work and need to supplement with a considerable amount of sugar.

As the director of a research institute, even if it is a large research institute, the things that need to be handled are far smaller than those of an ordinary large enterprise. What's more, Xuefeng's strategy of closing the country to the outside world has made it unnecessary for him to deal with a lot of diplomatic matters.

"So, what is the arrangement of that Southern Hibiki Cao Chang now?"

"Right now, he is recuperating in the medical room of our research institute, and the relevant application procedures have been submitted, and depending on the situation there, it is estimated that the approval will be completed immediately. After all, his former boss was ......"

"Understood, when his transfer procedures are completed, I will go to see him again. At that time, just leave the undead T to him to drive. ”

"Okay, Sister Xuefeng. By the way, Sister Xuefeng, how to deal with the Raptor L/R two machines? ”

"Is it possible to repair the L machine?"

"According to our findings, although it can be repaired, basically all the spare parts that are shipped to our side may be depleted, and the final estimate is not much different from before."

"So, let's not repair the L machine, and use all the usable parts of the L machine to strengthen the R machine. Its skeleton must be strengthened to the point that it will not disintegrate directly even if the transformation fails. The enhancement plan will be presented to me at least 185 years ago. ”

"Understand...... Hey, where are you going, Sister Xuefeng? ”

At this time, Xue Feng had finished eating a cup of ice cream, stood up and walked outside the house: "Ah, I'm going to see Yang Yan, Shiranui and Kuroshio." ”

"I don't know how far they've come, I'll leave it to you here, Hatsufeng."

I don't know how deep underground, in a huge artificial cavity, countless machines are busy working. Booms, stamping machines, hydraulic cranes, multi-rail frame lifts, aerial work platforms and countless other large machinery are busy in this underground space, busy and orderly.

But in this busy work, there is no human existence, or rather, no existence other than machinery.

In other words, here is an underground unmanned secret base in use!

As a result, the base is dimly lit by no other lights than the indicator lights on the mechanical equipment.

In the most remote part of this hollow, more than a dozen excavators that seem to be specially modified, with huge twisted bodies and mysterious glowing patterns, are constantly moving forward, and seem to be constantly expanding the space of this secret base.

However, the excavated rubble did not form a long dragon behind it like other excavators, but instead there were pieces of metal ingots that shimmered in the faint light.

These ingots are collected by machines at regular intervals and transported to large platforms with countless patterns carved on the surface. In the next moment, some of the structures on the platform changed, and some of the patterns lit up, forming a complete alchemy array.

Under the mysterious effect of the activated alchemy array, these metal ingots began to undergo various morphological changes, from pieces of rectangular metal ingots to metal parts of various shapes and sizes.

After confirming that the batch of ingots has been completely deformed, the alchemy array will be silenced again, and the molded parts will be transported by another machine, but at the same time, the platform will once again be dumped with the same number of standard ingots as the last time.

The parts that are transported away will be installed on the surrounding machinery and equipment under the action of various mechanical equipment, so that the cavity here will continue to expand and continue to fill the space expanded by the excavator.

So, the above process is repeated again. In this way, countless pieces of clay turned into metal ingots, and then, under the influence of the alchemy array, they became various parts needed for this secret base.

However, there are still some metal parts that have not been used for the expansion of the base and the normal replacement of machinery and equipment. Instead, it was installed in the middle of the hollow, and although it now only appeared to be a faint prototype, unable to see the exact form, but enough to be called a behemoth.

Beneath the hollow busyness, the number displayed above the door frame beneath what appeared to be a large elevator was getting smaller and smaller until it finally reached zero, when the door opened.

Yukikaze stepped out of the large elevator and onto the hollow central platform, below which was the behemoth that was constantly being assembled.

"I haven't been down for a month, but it seems to have gotten a lot bigger."

Xue Feng looked at the entire base and said with a slight sigh.

"To be exact, it has expanded by a third, and now it is about twice the size of the surface research institute."

An energetic voice came from the loudspeaker beside Yukikaze, and after a buzzing sound, a small projector was activated, and a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of Yukikaze.

The little girl with a brown double ponytail and purple eyes is stretching her waist energetically, and she is the eldest sister of the four sisters who came here with Xue Feng: Yang Yan.

"Because of the various mechanical equipment, the work efficiency here is more than dozens of times that of pure mechanical equipment. In particular, the fixed alchemy excavator that can directly train the soil into metal, and the combined alchemy platform that can combine a variety of alchemy circles, both of which directly allow us to no longer need the supply of external raw materials. ”

"And because of the base-level magic energy conversion reactor, we can even be self-sufficient in energy, and it's normal to have this kind of efficiency."

"But the shortcomings are also obvious," Yang Yan spread his hands helplessly, "Because it is fixed refining, the nature of the smelted metal, although it is quite high in ordinary alloys, but it is not comparable to real high-grade alloys at all, not to mention special metals such as Olihagang and Elysee alloys." ”

"Yang Yan, you are also clear, everyone voted for the original alloy choice, and the A56 alloy we use now is the best alloy we have in mass production."

The corners of Xue Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and he said helplessly.

"If I could, I'd like you to use a higher grade alloy."

"We know, but we're a little reluctant anyway." With Yang Yan's words, this empty high-power lighting device was activated, and the empty hole that was originally dim was shrouded in pure white light in the blink of an eye, "However, if you just use these ordinary alloys......

The behemoth under the snow wind also completely revealed its own form.

The whole is like a rectangular coffin, with a length of more than 500 meters, a width of 100 meters at the widest point, and a width of 40 meters at the narrowest point. The height is not clear because it has not yet been built, but the existing height is about fifty meters.

Although it has not yet been concretely formed, and only the basic frame of the outer armor has been completed, it can already be vaguely seen that this behemoth is a 500-meter-level battleship!

That's right, now under Xuefeng, in the huge cavity directly below the research institute, what is being built is the Yangyan-class MK-I type air defense escort ship designed by Xuefeng based on the HL-01 air defense destroyer: Guardian for fleet air defense and escort missions!

"With these ordinary alloys alone, our armor may not even withstand a few shells of the anti-aircraft level......"

"What we are building now is a fleet-type air defense escort ship, not a heavily armored escort ship, or a decisive battleship of a thousand, if it really needs to use armor to face the enemy, it is estimated that the entire fleet is facing the final desperate situation."

"At that time, a battleship really doesn't matter anymore, or it's completely powerless......"

"What's more, the most important thing we need now is not a battleship for a decisive battle, but to prove that we can really build our own warship."

"If we can't finish even the most basic air defense escort ships......"

Yang Yan was also silent after hearing Xue Feng's words. What Xue Feng said was not wrong, and he also understood that the most important thing for everyone to do now was not to organize a large fleet or develop any ace-class battleship, but to build their first battleship at all costs.

Only after the completion of this warship and the availability of sufficient combat exercises and data can the design and manufacture of that ...... be started A battleship known as "impossible to be born and exist"!

Because that's the standard that the Overwatch Dragon must complete if he wants to take a step forward......
