In a sense, Mengzong gave Zhao Jian a domestic shipyard, on the one hand, to fund him, and secondly, to control him. After all, the other party is leading troops outside, and he is already subject to the king's order, if he is allowed to develop his foundation wantonly outside, even if the royal family promises a princess to the other party, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have some crooked thoughts such as "self-reliance as a king" after his strength becomes stronger!

For this reason, Meng Zong once said in front of Li Ti that the focus of support for Zhao Jian is the "way", and the core idea is to hold the other party's "roots" tightly in his own hands! As for Mengzong's thoughts, Zhao Jian also had a heart and took the initiative to follow the other party's wishes.

After Zhao Jian got the Qingdao No. 2 Shipyard, he did not completely abandon the maintenance station because it was upgraded to a base station. He bought two light cruisers and two destroyers directly from the old warships mothballed by the domestic navy, and then handed them over to the shipyard in Qingdao to carry out special upgrades for power and air defense.

In the renovation plan of the Zhao ship, the main armament of the two 5,500-ton light cruisers will be replaced from the original three twin 150mm to three triple 135mm rapid-fire guns, and the newly designed large elevation turret will be used. Secondary armament consisted of 20 twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 on deck and 8 on either side of the bottom of the ship. There are also two quadruple torpedo tubes, which can be used to carry the Erosion torpedo, a powerful anti-ship weapon.

The armament of the other two 2,000-ton destroyers was reduced according to the pattern of the two light cruisers, with three twin guns for the main guns, 14 for the secondary anti-aircraft guns, eight on the deck, six on the bottom, and two torpedo tubes in a triple assembly.

It is worth mentioning that these four ships have been canceled by Zhao Jian more than 7% of the crew cabins to carry more powerful power units and more fuel. As a result, the speed and range of these ships have been greatly enhanced, but the technicians in charge of the shipyard are very puzzled by this requirement.

Perhaps, from their conventional point of view, the self-sustaining power of these ships must be very poor, because there are not enough crews, and the shipwrecks have to overload, which will greatly reduce the combat efficiency of the warships. But for Zhao Jian, who has already learned the "Dafa of Preparation", the crew is a superfluous thing!

In addition to the 4 ships in China, the other 2 large and 1 small in the big construction plan are all arranged to be built on the side of the maintenance station.

The two large warships intended for Sichuan and Unicorn were temporarily unable to start construction due to the lack of excellent construction drawings, but the one that was intended for Meow Bo had a lot of ready-made destroyer wreckage as a reference. So it was quickly put together and a pretty good design drawing.

The standard displacement of the new ship is 2,200 tons, and the appearance is similar to that of the Bailu class, which belongs to the large destroyers at this time, but because it is equipped with special anti-submarine equipment, it occupies a considerable amount of space, so the conventional armament is relatively weak. There is a twin-mounted 135 rapid-fire gun in the front and rear and six anti-aircraft guns concentrated in the middle, and even the torpedo tubes are only a quadruple.

With such weak firepower, the ship Meow Bo may not even be able to defeat a destroyer of the same tonnage. But she's an out-and-out submarine nemesis! Because this ship is equipped with several special equipment that can cooperate with Meow Bo's "hearing ability", it has the ability to hunt submarines.

Although space submarines have the ability to temporarily hide in subspace, they will leave some dimensional rifts after they dive. Ordinary spaceships are unable to detect these invisible traces. Meow Bo, on the other hand, can use the "subspace sonar" to discover the location of these cracks. After discovering the submarine's hideout, Meow Bo only needs to fire a special dimensional concussion bomb into the crack to blow up the submarine hiding inside.

At first, Zhao Jian thought about transferring this equipment to the state, but then he thought that the origin of this thing was more difficult to explain than the erosion torpedo. So in the end, I had to give up.

"At the end of the day, we have a repair station with such a large production capacity, but can we still only produce such small destroyers?"

"As it stands...... That's true, that's right! ”

On the observation deck of the No. 1 large construction trough. Zhao Jian and Chi You stared at the four "Standard Type II" destroyers that were slowly taking shape below. It took only 20 hours for this batch of destroyers to be roughly formed from the official start of feeding, and it is expected that it will be completed in one more working day. Eight hours a day without overtime and four working days to produce four 2,000-ton fleet destroyers, a production speed that even the United States, which has the most complete production capacity at present, is beyond the reach of the United States.

Under the circumstance that large warships did not dare to start construction rashly, Zhao decided to build a batch of destroyers to supplement their combat strength. He currently has 10 3,000-ton low-level divine cores given by the Meng Sect in his hands, as well as some little guys who got them from the ship, a total of nearly 30.

Zhao Jian activated 16 in one breath, 6 of which were arranged to take over the hull of the freighter left behind by the Bozi team and take on the responsibility of logistics support, while the 10 given by the royal family were all incorporated into combat units. The four Standard II ships currently under construction and the six Standard I ships that have already been built are hulls built specifically for them.

These two types of destroyers, Type I is the air defense destroyer that is being renovated in China, and Type II is the mass production template of Meowbo's Magic Transformation Bailu class. Removed the subspace sonar that is not used by ordinary ship mothers and expanded the armament, making it a fleet-type destroyer that can act with the capital ship, but the retained dimensional shock bomb can also be used to blow up submarines with Meow Wave.

The 4 ships in China had to wait at least 5 months, but the 11 ships built here were in place within a week. In the naming of this group of children, Zhao Jian highlighted the word "water", and the rivers, lakes, oceans, streams, pools, and streams flowed...... It's all waves! And in order to facilitate the distinction and memory, Zhao Jian also made a uniform badge for them.

When Zhao Jian inspected the destroyer for the first time, these little guys standing in a row made Zhao Jian feel a strong sense of guilt.

"The thought of me going to put these lovely young girls on the battlefield makes me feel like I'm not human!"

"Don't doubt it, you're sure it's not human...... Kind! Chi You complained calmly.

With the addition of these destroyers, Zhao immediately set up two patrols, and put them in charge of guarding the maintenance station and the star field around the mining area, driving away those ships that strayed into their territory. And the preservation of this mobile force also allows Zhao Jian to carry out various activities more flexibly and freely in the Shattered Star Zone! (To be continued......)

PS: In terms of composition, the fleet of the small ship people lacks schoolchildren, so add some!
