Some people are responsible for the construction of the orbital station, and some are responsible for the management and operation. There is no need for Chu Jungui to stay in orbit longer, so he returned to the surface of the planet. Since the Federation is not planning to appear for a while, he just used this time to plan the future.
develop.
Judging from the battle report obtained by Lin Xi, the situation of the Ninth Fleet became increasingly unfavorable. It was not that the battle was not good enough, on the contrary, a group of new captains like Lin Xi appeared in the Ninth Fleet, and the battle was vigorous and impressive.
They actually came to a stalemate with the overwhelmingly superior Federation fleet.
But on the other hand, the material and energy reserves of the Ninth Fleet are also declining rapidly, and the combat readiness materials are no longer enough to last for a month. Retreat is a matter of time, and it is impossible to wait until the supplies are bottomed out. We will not be able to evacuate until then.
.
At this time, Chu Jungui's two bases on Planet 4 began to show their importance. Now the combined production capacity index of the two bases has exceeded the 100,000 mark, which means that as long as Chu Jungui is willing, in one day
Thousands of junk-level tanks can be produced. In an era when humans had just stepped out of space, this was already the production capacity of a superpower. Even in the 35th century, it was not low when viewed from a single base.
However, Chu Jungui is still not satisfied and is ready to continue to expand. Anyway, the base production capacity can increase by 25% every three days, and it can more than double after 12 days.
A base with a production capacity of 200,000 is called industrial power, and what is happening now can only be called an industrial revolution. In the plan of the experimental body, only when the production capacity exceeds one million can it be qualified to call itself a large industry.
Chu Jungui did not dare to underestimate Brother Dao at all. This guy was powerful and cunning, and had absorbed the experience and wisdom of many federal soldiers. He also had production capabilities similar to those of a biochemical factory, so he was quite difficult to deal with.
Chu Jungui did not intend to compete with it in terms of biotechnology and quantity, but only planned to crush it with the power of steel and gunpowder. His confidence was the crystal power furnace. With energy, everything would be possible.
A historical figure from the home star era said that if he was given enough power furnace, he could make the home star into steel.
Chu Jungui couldn't remember who said this, but he thought it made sense anyway.
In addition to expanding production capacity, the development between the two bases has become increasingly unbalanced. All important production and scientific research forces have been transferred to Base 2. The original Shadow of Doom only has the function of collecting raw materials for preliminary processing. In fact, Doomsday
As a pure survival and occupation base, Shadow's foundation is even better than Base 2, but now no one wants to stay there.
Chu Jungui now has to face this problem. No one wants to stay in the Shadow of Doom. Even if half of the living area in Base 2 is destroyed and only three or four people can sleep in a room, it is still worse than the Shadow of Doom.
It's so much better. After all, each dormitory has its own bathroom. In the eyes of the test subjects, this kind of thing has no other effect except a waste of resources and space. But ordinary humans don't seem to think so.
Chu Jungui now has a lot of production capacity in hand, and he feels that he can consider solving this problem. He spent three minutes of precious time thinking, ran through the research progress bar, and came up with a preliminary solution.
The solution is a prefabricated dormitory, with eight people per room, and every ten rooms are allocated public bathrooms and toilets, which are regarded as one unit. Each dormitory unit consumes roughly 500 production capacity, and the Shadow of Doom currently has more than 8,000 people, as well as hundreds of die-hards.
of prisoners.
The prisoners need not be taken care of. Continuing to maintain the standard treatment of 0.5 square meters will help them change their minds as soon as possible. For the remaining 8,000 people, counting their current living area, roughly 50 units will be needed to improve their living conditions to average
Room size for 8 people.
Chu Jungui gritted his teeth and decided to use 5% of the production capacity to produce 10 dormitory units every day and complete the entire improvement plan in 5 days. Although it would not meet the standards of Base 2 after completion, it was at least huge compared to before.
improve.
As for why it needs to be completed in 5 days instead of 1 day, that is because the test body has been carefully calculated. The 5000 production capacity of producing 10 units can also add value, and they can also increase by 25% every three days. So it takes a few days
, production capacity will increase even more.
As for human beings, according to Li Ruobai, most human beings will value hope more than the benefits. As long as they start to build new dormitories and see hope for them, people can generally calm down and wait for the day when the promise is fulfilled.
.
After solving the accommodation problem, the next step is to solve the coordination between the two bases. Now there will be a large transport fleet between the two bases every few days to transport materials and personnel. For safety, it is necessary every time
Hundreds of tanks were dispatched to escort.
Although the test body is not short of energy at all, there are many people in the transport fleet, and the time of these people is also a cost!
The improvement of production capacity is the accumulation of countless details. The later you go, the more attention you need to pay attention to details. Now Chu Jungui is devoting time and computing power to solve the efficiency problem of the transportation team.
If you want to reduce costs, improving efficiency is one way, and directly reducing costs is another way. The most direct way to reduce costs is to reduce escort tanks. This was originally one of the options, but after experiencing a baptism of S-class beasts,
Chu Jungui felt that safety was the most important thing. After all, if the guards were not strong enough, a single attack would be enough to wipe out the entire convoy.
In Chu Jungui's view, no matter how low the probability is, as long as the consequences of the event are unbearable, then it is an unbearable risk. Any 95 or 99 confidence level is nonsense, and most experts will die.
above this.
Improving efficiency means either increasing the fleet speed or increasing the transport volume of a single fleet.
Chu Jungui's most indispensable thing was energy and materials, so he removed these two constraints, ran the progress again, and finally came up with the best plan: use an ark for transportation.
There is a better solution: use a larger ark for transportation.
"Isn't this just an armed transport ship flying close to the ground?" Chu Jungui looked at the final plan and was speechless for a while.
After all, there are some differences between Ark and armed transport ships. Ark spends most of its time running on the ground, so its transportation capacity is much larger than that of armed transport ships, but its speed is relatively slower.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Chu Jungui decided to build a super large ark first to prepare for large-scale material transportation in the future.
The total length of the new Ark is more than 100 meters. The new 15-meter diameter tires and 20-meter retractable suspension can ensure that it can pass through most terrains, so the planned route is basically straight.
The reaction engine mounted on the Ark allows the Ark to weigh no more than 1,000 tons when fully loaded. If a few auxiliary jet engines are added, the Ark can even achieve a short-distance flight of several kilometers.
The cost and construction time of such a new Ark is only one-fifth of that of an armed transport ship, but its carrying capacity is tripled, at the cost of only 3 hours more transportation time between the two bases.
