The Kingdom of Libel in the southwest corner of the West Samlian continent
It has been more than four months since Ling last visited this peaceful country.
Even for a country with the most cutting-edge force guidance technology on this continent, the scenery on the roadside is no different from the countryside.
The original association base located on the northwest shore of Lake Valyria is now the location of the Lieber branch of the Rozenberk Workshop.
There are a total of forty-three technicians and 270 general staff among the subordinate employees. The technicians are members of the Thirteenth Workshop, while the general staff are reinforced Jaegers. They originally left with Kenparela after he evacuated, but
Zai Ling contacted Ken Parela and said that they needed a group of men to work. These people who used to work here came back here in just one month after they evacuated. There were even more people here than at the original association base.
There are several times more people. Ken Parela has transferred members from other countries.
In addition to belonging to the Body-Eating Snake, they all have another identity, that is, "people from the Liber Kingdom."
People join the association for their own reasons. Some lost their families in the Hundred Days War, some did bad things, some were desperate because of social death, and some simply came to seek excitement...
Bai Mian didn't know if he took in hundreds or thousands of similar guys back then, and trained them into enhanced hunters with simple hints to strengthen their physical abilities. But they actually all had their own ideas. Uncle Wiseman wasn't that good.
It is enough to implant hints of deep consciousness into everyone, but even to the simplest level, ordinary people who do not have the patience for mental magic cannot have the idea of treason, even if Wiseman disappears. As for those who are patient? Those who are patient?
They all became candidates for execution, and then began to carry out various killing missions under the arrangements of the Thousand Ringbreakers.
In terms of the organizational form of the Body-Eating Snake, both the Apostles and Executors of the Snake are at the cadre level.
The apostles each have their own subordinates, and after Wiseman "disappeared", Ken Parella, who recruited the enhanced hunters, modified the hint rules. The executor was set to be the superior of the enhanced hunters. Any one
Executors have the right to mobilize enhanced hunters to take action.
But this is only the authority within the organization. In fact, they are also human beings, and they also have their own relatives and friends. Some of them still retain their past interpersonal relationships. They just hide their identities in the other world, and they also work underground.
How does the reader feel?
As for the technicians... in fact, some of them are even active employees of ZCF. The original airship technology was invented by ZCF. The airships of the association did not come out of thin air, but were based on the predecessors. The so-called predecessors are Russell.
The workshop manager and Madoc workshop manager and their group of people.
Among the forty-three technicians currently located at the original association base, less than half are old shipwrights who participated in the design and manufacture of the Red Ark Gulorias. However, they were careful not to reveal their identities, and it took three years to build it.
A lot of effort went into the completed El Seyu.
Since the two-person Rozenbelk Workshop and the Russell Workshop, a family of four, announced their cooperation, technicians originally affiliated with zcf have come here for "technical exchanges" as a matter of course.
Externally it is an "expatriate", but internally it is a situation that everyone is well aware of.
At this time, the factory was under full construction of two sixty-class warships.
Although it has not been made public, the Queen and Crown Prince of Liber are very aware of the situation here. That was before and after the signing of the non-war pact four months ago, by Olibat Lezeyanor Ereboni
The royal family of the Asian Empire applied to Queen Alicia for the construction of these two ships.
Originally, ZCF's world-leading shipbuilding technology could not be easily exported. Even if it exported force-guiding technology to other countries in the past, it usually did not directly take out the latest technology. But Olibat explained that there is no need to reach El Saiyu.
After the speed and volume were increased, it didn't matter if it was a little slower, Queen Alicia agreed. After all, the price he offered was too tempting in Alicia's opinion.
The design drawings of the train gun are a national secret that theoretically cannot be leaked. In exchange for the most advanced airship technology, it is a proposal that the Queen cannot refuse.
Ling has no psychological burden about giving Ogua the old blueprints she obtained from the Leinfur special technicians many years ago. The empire will not stand still, and Libel will not do it blatantly even if he builds the train cannon.
It would be too stupid to use it. It is just a trump card used to protect yourself.
The flying ship invented by Dr. Russell's team is still a "ship". It is usually designed for both air and sea use, and will not sink even if it falls into the water. Although it is different from ordinary naval warships, it is generally manufactured
The process is the same.
The first step is design. Without design drawings, all subsequent steps will not exist, and drawing design drawings takes time. The design time of a brand new flying battleship can be up to ten years, but if you want to reproduce it,
This step can be omitted if you are building a battleship or a sister ship of an existing battleship. The two light-winged Karejas customized by Oribat are the sister ships of the white-winged El Saiyu, so there are ready-made drawings that can be used.
. Even if it is enlarged from 42 sub-moments to 60 sub-moments, only slight modifications to the internal layout and other details are enough. The appearance design of the Karejas No. 1 ship and Karejas No. 2 ship
There are slight differences. In addition, there are also some differences in the main guns carried. The Karejas No. 1 ship still uses the main gun design of El Seyo, while the Karejas No. 2 ship uses the
Design drawings of train guns.
The second step is the preparation and hoarding of shipbuilding materials. This step usually requires several years of preparation. Although the Kingdom of Libel possesses the rare seven-flare stone vein, it does not have very rich iron ore resources and basically relies on
It is imported from the ally country Kalvad Republic. As a strategic material, the annual import volume of steel is limited. Therefore, in addition to the hull keel, Ling does not plan to use chromium steel and carbon steel commonly used in shipbuilding.
Use silicon-aluminum alloy. It's not that Ling intends to cut corners and make up for it, it's just that the preparation process of silicon-aluminum alloy in her hands is already very mature. This kind of cheap alloy that can be obtained by digging three feet into the ground and using stones as raw materials does not need to be used.
It's useless. Although the physical performance is slightly worse, the spell resistance to channeling magic is still higher than that of chromium steel.
The third step is to start construction. The time of this step depends on the efficiency of the workers and the type of ship being built. ZCF usually builds a passenger ship in a two-year cycle. (S1175 scheduled ship Linde entered service.
In s1177, the scheduled ship Secilia entered service.) Elseyu used various new technologies, so it took three years to complete the construction. (s1199~s1202), so the two Karejas
It doesn’t even take two years here. According to the construction Gantt chart formulated by Ling, starting from January 1, 1203, the test flight will be carried out about 15 months later, that is, April 1, 1204. On the other hand,
, the shipbuilders made extensive use of automated mechanical engineering dolls manufactured by Rozenberk. These dolls are based on the same design concept as those used in the construction of the new city in the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture.
Normally, Ling would also contact Tida Russell, who is the person in charge of shipbuilding here, through guided communication to remotely monitor the construction progress of Karejas. In the morning, she chatted with Oribat about the empire's upcoming flying fleet.
At that time, she suddenly had a whim and planned to conduct a phased acceptance. Calculating the time, the basic skeleton should have been formed.
By the way, it’s also the purpose of meeting Tida whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
However, in addition to Tida, Ling also felt the auras of two other extraordinary strong men appearing near her.
As if he noticed her alertness, the brown-haired middle-aged man looked up from the workshop where the keels were laid.
"Ah, it's Ling-chan!" Tida, who was wearing technician's dust-proof glasses, looked up and immediately recognized her friend in a small suit.
"Oh? Tida, she is the one." After hearing his daughter's words, Dan Russell also let down his guard.
His wife, Dr. Alicia Russell, who was beside him, fell into a daze for a moment, her eyes shining, and she murmured words like "It's so cute, I really want to hug her."
"Well, mom, please wipe your saliva. It will leave a bad impression on my good friend."
"Ahaha, your mother is like this. Okay, Erica, let's go up and say hello to the other owner here. Don't be rude." After saying this to Tiida, Dan walked over and took a photo.
He patted Erica in a white coat on the shoulder to bring her back to her senses.
