Global Travel: Empire of Stars

"Didi~"

The holographic communication sound sounded, and the radar soldier quickly traced it back to the source:"Captain, is this communication from that giant starship?"

Lin Zhichen's eyes moved. He recovered from the shock of seeing the giant ship for the first time and immediately understood the origin of this starship:"Open communication"

"Zhi~"

On the holographic projector, Wu Tianyi's excited voice came:"Brother, we are~ developed~"

Yes, this huge starship is the large industrial colony ship promised by Cornelia, known as" mobile dock"、"-"Universal Production Factory".

Because it carries a large amount of industrial production equipment, the industrial colony ship has always been huge. Among similar warships, only the cargo transport ship and the colonial transport ship can surpass it.

"Lean over and take a look."Lin Zhichen ordered.

However, there is no need to lean over. For"little things" like the"Qinyuan", this large industrial colonial ship has a unique method - the hatch at the bottom of the hull opens, revealing a huge space.

""Qinyuan" enters directly from the hatch, accepts navigation guidance and drives to a suitable berth - a battleship can even be parked here! Why is the large industrial colony ship called a mobile dock?

Because it can Repairs and routine maintenance of starships can be carried out at any time. If there are enough materials, this place can be used as a ship factory to directly build starships of corresponding size!

"Brother, the dock of this giant ship has a total ship capacity of 24, and can build up to 24 frigates or 3 battleships at the same time!"Wu Tianyi, who came to greet him, saw Lin Zhichen staring at the dock and immediately understood what he wanted to know.

Ship capacity is a special unit for building starships in the new universe. It is usually used to measure the size of the dock.

Usually Say, a frigate has a ship capacity of 1 unit, a destroyer has a ship capacity of 2 units, a cruiser has a ship capacity of 4 units, and a battleship has a ship capacity of 8 units.

"Yes, we finally have our own dock! Lin Zhichen breathed out a sigh of relief.

With a shipyard, the significance is not to build ships immediately, but to start training shipbuilding craftsmen and engineers. In the early stage, they can repair damaged warships, and in the later stage, they can build ships by themselves. This is of great significance.

Shipbuilding industry in the interstellar era What does it mean?

Just like in the planetary age, the automobile industry can support the national economy, most of the industrial system in the interstellar age is in the shipbuilding industry

"Kenelia needs to remember this favor! Lin Zhichen sighed. He looked at the endless sea of machinery inside the huge ship. Countless engineering machines were lined up and stretched into the depths of the ship:

"How many people are needed to sail this ship?"

"Brother, this is the biggest difficulty!"Speaking of this, Wu Tianyi felt a headache:

"If you just want to sail and make this industrial colonial ship move, only a hundred and ten people will be enough. But if you want to use all the machinery and production capacity on this ship, you will need at least 3,000 people, including almost all the people. Category Engineer!

If you want to achieve maximum productivity, the number of people needs to be increased to 10,000!"

"Do we have enough people?"Lin Zhichen asked

"It is enough for the time being, but the reserve talents we have prepared are all for the construction of the base. If we deploy them like this, we will not have enough manpower!"Wu Tianyi replied

"If it's not enough, just keep training. Don't you think this giant ship is a perfect training academy? Any engineering talent can be cultivated here."When Lin Zhichen said this, Wu Tianyi suddenly woke up.

With the talent of God's reward for hard work, whenever this giant ship cultivates a group of talents, they can be transferred to establish a specialized factory. As long as there are NPCs, the dilemma of talent shortage will soon disappear. can solve

"I thought wrong."He suddenly felt relieved.

"What happened during the week I was out? Lin Zhichen said as he walked. He looked at the construction machinery of various shapes next to him, as if he was in a steel jungle. These are all manifestations of the industrial production capacity of this giant ship.

"There is nothing else, except that after the colonial industrial ship arrived, the star network has exploded."Link replied: (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Such a giant ship has never appeared in the solar system. When the Whale appeared, it scared a lot of people - many people thought that the larger the starship, the more powerful it was, but they didn't know that most combat ships were not as powerful as transport ships. big!

However, since then, our mercenary group has become even more famous. It has become the first mercenary group in the solar system. The number of people who come to the headquarters to apply for jobs every day is huge, which is comparable to the talent market in the old era."

"The Whale? It's a good name, that's what it will be from now on. How are the crew doing with their repairs?"he asked

"All have been repaired, and the new batch of pirate NPCs have been integrated into the group and can be used with confidence."Wu Tianyi said:

"Brother, I think we can take action. The Whale is parked like this. It is too conspicuous and wasteful."

"I came back with 4 million energy coins this time, which is enough for development in the future."As soon as Lin Zhichen said these words, there were gasps around him, obviously shocked by this huge number.

4 million energy coins are enough to form a small fleet - tens of thousands in number, from Titans to frigates , ranging from combat ships to auxiliary ships.

"We originally planned to purchase a batch of starships. Since we have our own shipyard, don't be too slow. We will buy the materials and build them ourselves. We will also train engineers to prepare for future industrial development. Lin Zhichen arranged:

"Manager Xu, you are the director of the Industry Department. Logically, this Whale also belongs to the Industry Department. You should make corresponding plans, contact Tianyi, prepare talents and materials, and start the shipbuilding plan as soon as possible!"

"Yes, leader!"Manager Xu Wen of the Ministry of Industry saluted excitedly, and then felt a little confused:"It's just the leader, we are short of transport ships, and shipbuilders have just been trained. I'm afraid at the beginning..."

"You consider these things, I only care about the results."Lin Zhichen waved his hand and interrupted the other party:"If it's too difficult, start with civilian transport ships. Once you're proficient, start building frigates and destroyers. Step by step, you can ask Tianyi to pay for the finance."

"I see."Xu Wen agreed.

"Although the"Giant Whale" is huge, it doesn't look too surprising. In fact, this is what industrial equipment is. It is mainly durable and easy to use, and most of it looks ordinary.

Soon, Lin Zhichen lost interest. Come to the rest room of the"Giant Whale" to rest.

In the next period of time, this will be the new headquarters of the Meteor Mercenary Group. In the Dakan galaxy, in the space close to the Dakan galaxy, suddenly space surges, The name"Qinyuan" quickly emerged from the virtual reality...
