The space on the outskirts of Weixing City, which originally belonged to the secret research institute, was treated by Gu Hang as a superposition with the Storm God Kingdom, which was just the beginning.

The more than 50 black boxes that Gu Hang had drawn out in this wave of thirty times have all been placed.

As the production capacity and raw material demand of the black box factory increases, it will become more and more conspicuous to put it in a single place.

Since time and space are distorted, there is no need to put them in one place.

In the next period of time, Gu Hang and Wu Jiarong ran to many places on the Angry Owl Star. Nominally, the other part of the alliance in Weixing City, in Xiongya Province, in the Far North Industrial City, and in Scaro Star Port City, each built a new secret research institute under the jurisdiction of Wu Jiarong.

But in fact, these so-called research institutes are essentially just a 'channel'.

These places are all connected to one place in subspace, and they are the same place, that is, the real black box factory.

This means that supplies transported to any of the secret research institutes can be sent to the Black Box Factory located in the Storm God Kingdom. The things produced in it can also be freely brought to any of the research institutes.

This will further solve the problem of secrecy, no longer like when it was concentrated in one place, there will be abnormal raw material consumption and product output, and the dispersion will be more secretive.

At the same time, it also saves the difficulty of transportation.

Wu Jiarong was full of praise for the Governor's design.

She was then given a new task by the Governor: to oversee the construction of the Union shipyard.

This conversation took place in the Alliance Starport.

Gu Hang and Wu Jiarong took the rail subway and went up to Xinggang. He walked around the starport and inspected it.

The Star Harbor of the Angry Owl Star has been under construction for five years, and has introduced external investment, and the construction speed is very fast.

Up to now, its scale is no less than that of the famous Yancheng Star Port.

Of course, there are also starports on Koroga, and there is more than one. Fifteen of the forty nest capitals have their own starports, varying in size. Without a starport, there would be no large-scale interstellar cargo exchange.

But think about it, if nothing else, it's just the star port of Korojia's famous Yancheng, corresponding to four billion people; Even if there are a large number of immigrants on the Angry Owl Star now, there are only 150 million people, and the scale of the starports in the two places is actually about the same, which shows how much effort the Angry Owl Star Starport has put into the construction.

- It can also be explained from the side that the construction of the starport on Koroga is very bad.

Moreover, the difference between the two places is not just in scale.

The construction of the starport of the Angry Owl Star came from the design blueprint of the starport drawn by Gu Hang at the beginning, and the construction was done by inviting external construction ships to help. In terms of the rationality of the overall design, in terms of the efficiency of handling goods and personnel, it is not comparable to the famous Yancheng Star Port of the same scale.

Gu Hang was relatively satisfied with this, but also gave his own instructions.

First of all, the scale of the starport of the Raging Star will be further expanded, and it will be equipped with orbital defense equipment to transform into a star castle. The entire planet should have a dual defense system from the starport to the surface. When the alliance's naval construction catches up in the future, it should be the three-layer defense of naval ships-star forts-surface.

At this point, it can be said that the defense of the Raging Owl is foolproof.

At the same time, the ever-expanding scale of the star port, corresponding to Gu Hang's planning, the productivity of the angry star will also grow at a long-term and high-speed rate. The Raging Owl will be an important engine for the development of the entire alliance, not only where safety must be guaranteed, but also cargo throughput will be a blood vessel and a lifeline.

The powerful shipyard to be built in the future will also need to be accommodated on a larger scale in the starport.

Eventually, it may become a space city.

As for the current Union shipyard, it actually has a certain scale. In the past few years, at least the Traveler ship has been able to be produced here. The flights operated by the alliance have also been fixed through the Black Arrow, the Angry Owl, and Koroga.

Although, due to the size of the traveler, it is not yet able to do large-scale transportation, it is only suitable for the exchange of public officials and the transportation of some documents.

But at least, there is already a connection to each other.

At the request of Gu Hang at the beginning, the foundation of the Alliance Shipyard was to go big and better. At present, when there is a real need for expansion, the expansion space left over from the past has played a lot of role and can save a lot of work.

Wu Jiarong will continue to travel back and forth between the surface and the star port for a long time in the future.

The shipyards of the alliance will be designed and built according to the newly obtained [shipyard blueprint]. Some key components can even be produced by the shipyard's relevant black box.

In the process of shipyard expansion, each completed dock will mean that a type of ship can be put into production.

The two civilian vessels, the Flying Dolphin and the Whale, are relatively simple, are fixed models, and do not change much, just follow the design blueprint.

However, patrol ships, frigates, destroyers, all the Alliance has now is the initial blueprint. Wu Jiarong wants to study these materials, knowledge and black boxes to complete further and specific model design.

There are currently four models planned.

The 'Blackfish-class' fast patrol ship is equipped with a shield generator, an S-size laser cannon and a kinetic energy cannon, and compared with conventional patrol ships, the engine is equipped with a spiritual engine unit that ordinary patrol ships are not willing to install, which is specialized in flexibility and speed.

This is to facilitate the patrol ship to engage in wolf pack tactics.

Although it is small, its protection is limited by the specifications of the patrol ship, it will not be very large, and the ship will explode when it hits, but the 'Blackfish class' can run fast and flexible by relying on it, it is easier to get rid of the lock, minimize the possibility of being hit, and it is easier to pull out of the formation and besiege ships much larger than itself.

In short, its design idea is to win flexibly with small boats against big boats.

The 'Silver Helmet' frigate has stronger shields, thicker armor, and can withstand a few M-sized firepower; it is equipped with rapid-fire kinetic energy cannons and laser cannons, and its interception capabilities are specialized, and its main goal is to block in front of the capital ship and act as a meat shield. As much as possible, intercept the artillery fire, landing modules, and space fighters projected by enemy ships.

The 'Silver Sword-class' high-speed torpedo ship, which is also a frigate, is simplified compared with the Silver Helmet in terms of energy shield and armor, and its interception capability is not very good; but it also specializes in speed and agility, strengthens its engines, and is equipped with S-type 'scalpel' missiles on the basis of reducing the conventional S-type firepower, and also insists on installing a set of M-type 'splitting axe' torpedo missiles on the frigate.

Torpedo missile weapons can use the ability to slow down at the end, and there is a chance that they can pass directly when they come into contact with the energy shield or the void shield, and damage the hull; Shipborne torpedo missiles are also very powerful and do not belong to conventional artillery fire. However, the problem is that it is easy to be intercepted and given away at low speeds. But as long as one shot, the shield does not work, and the interception is not stopped, then the enemy ship will have to eat a big one, especially the 'Sky Splitting Axe' itself is an M-class weapon. Not to mention frigates of the same class, even if a cruiser of a higher level eats a 'splitting axe', it will be a heavy blow.

This is also adhering to the idea of a small boat fighting a big ship, the 'Silver Sword Class' is small anyway, relatively cheap, and a gamble is a big profit.

The 'Mad Shark class' battle destroyer, this is a conventional gunboat, without any bells and whistles, with the 'Hot Hammer' macro cannon as the core, emphasizing protection and firepower balance.

The estimated cost of the Blackfish-class fast patrol ship is 32 million tax dollars per ship. The cost of the 'Silver Helmet level' reached 320 million tax coins. The cost of the 'Silver Sword-class' torpedo frigate is cheaper than that of the Silver Helmet, and one can be built for 240 million. The cost of the 'Shark-class' battle destroyer is 1.7 billion tax coins.

After the design of these four types of ships was completed, Gu Hang also communicated with his mother, and with the help of Ms. Wang Qi, he contacted his future father-in-law, the retired Admiral Lao Fofana, to evaluate these four types of ships.

After listening to Wu Jiarong's introduction carefully, the old general was silent for a long time, as if he had been affected by something.

After a while, the old general finally spoke: "Young man, don't be too ambitious. ”

“？”

Gu Hang was criticized by his father-in-law, and he was a little puzzled.

What's so 'ambitious' about this? The old general has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he has commanded many large and small ships, and has fought many naval battles of different scales.

Not really, right?

Moreover, I don't have to be ambitious, these ships are all blueprints and designs made by Wu Jiarong with the help of science and technology lottery.

The shipyards of the alliance have already begun to build docks for these types of ships. As long as the dockyard is built, all these ships can be produced properly.

Why is it so ambitious?

Moreover, the so-called 'cost' mentioned by Gu Hang is still high, but it is not actually the cost price.

After all, many things are produced in black boxes, or produced on the production line pulled out by black boxes, but the cost is not so high. It is estimated that the cost of the Coalition to actually produce these things ranges from one-tenth to one-half of the cost of the ship. The difference between these mainly depends on the proportion of black box output in ship construction.

The higher the percentage, the lower the cost.

This 'cost' is just Wu Jiarong's estimate of the cost according to the Imperial Navy's order prices for various shipyards.

But then, Old General Fofana told Gu Hang about the situation and price of the ships that the Pegasus fleet wanted when they placed an order with the shipyard of Flying Wing.

When it comes to specific parameters and design specifications, it is naturally not good to say much. However, after listening to it, Gu Hang also roughly understood why the old General Fofana would say this.

Take the 'Shark-class' battle destroyer as an example, the several models produced by the Flying Wing Star Shipyard, from the cheapest 1.2 billion to the most expensive 2.2 billion, are inferior to the 'Crazy Shark' in terms of technical specifications. In Gu Hang's opinion, the 'Crazy Shark' has no characteristics when it was designed, that is, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp, but in terms of this level of protection and firepower, it is already fierce among destroyers.

As a result, you say it's 1.7 billion?

The same is true of the 'Silver Helmet' and the 'Silver Sword'. The price of a frigate produced by the Flying Wing Star Shipyard is generally around 300 million, but even if it is a conventional frigate, compared with the 'Silver Sword', all the parameters are about the same, the protection is one level, and the normal firepower is also one level......

Then who went to Flying Wings to buy a ship?

Old Fofana didn't believe the price and performance parameters that Gu Hangkou said at all.

He thinks that this is Gu Hang talking nonsense.

The old man's earnest words sounded in Gu Hang's ears: "It's good that the Angry Owl Star can start building spaceships, and it proves that your work is productive." I'm also optimistic that the Angry Owl can grow up in the future, build good ships, and build big ships. However, the development of everything must follow objective conditions. You have to take one step at a time, develop well, and don't engage in all those messy bells and whistles, which will make you fall hard. Moreover, your so-called ship designer is either lying to you, or he is not capable of talking nonsense. Kill her, don't believe her. ”

"Mm-hmm, I'm taught. I'm going to kill that designer right away, and she dares to lie to me! ”

During the call, Gu Hang nodded frequently, indicating that he fully understood the good intentions of the old man.

After hanging up the communication, Captain Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Jiarong, who was listening, had a green face. When she saw the communication hang up, she immediately said, "Lord Governor! I didn't have ......"

"Okay, no more talk." Gu Hang had an excited smile on his face, "Now, immediately adjust the 'cost' of all ships by 30%!" ”

“？”

Gu Hang said earnestly: "You, you are still too sincere!" ”

"Uh, okay."

"How long will it be before our shipyards can run?"

Wu Jiarong settled down and said: "According to our plan, the first phase of the project will be completed in one year, and then the silver helmet level, silver sword level, and black fish level can be put into production; The second phase of the project will be completed in four years, and the existing four types of ships will be put into production by then; The third phase of the project will be completed in six years, and then we will be able to achieve the goal you set before: a two-year shipbuilding cycle, the production of one destroyer, three frigates, ten patrol ships...... Our first destroyer will not be commissioned until at least eight years later. ”

Captain Gu sighed.

Not to mention the 10-year Army and 100-year Navy.

It's the same with Xinghai.

According to this posture, even if it is opened, the alliance will not be able to really have its own naval fleet after eight years, and it will still be a small fleet with only one destroyer.

Of course, there should be more than three or ten patrol ships and frigates; Moreover, after the completion of the third phase of the project, the shipyards of the alliance will not stop construction, enter the complete shipbuilding cycle, and the speed of production of ships will become faster and faster.

If you really want to give Gu Hang a hundred years, I am afraid that he will really be able to have a very powerful fleet by then.

But a hundred years......
