On the planet No. 2194, another huge "spaceship" is slowly rising. It is hundreds of meters long from front to back and as high as several floors. The propellers and floating magic arrays below are densely packed, making it look very spectacular.
Logically speaking, at such a height, there is no need to activate the thrusters to help the spacecraft rise, so this strange-looking spacecraft must be carrying a large amount of cargo.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The ascending spacecraft is entirely made of ferrous iron that has been simply smelted and processed.
In order to improve the strength of the battleship outer shell, the Ilanthil Empire used a large amount of titanium alloy and ferrite. Although these metals are rare metals in the vast universe, the overall reserves are actually not low.
In the Airanhir Empire, which has countless planets as resource planets, the total amount of ore mined every day has reached astronomical figures.
On the planet in front of us, in a huge open-air mine, a super ore cutting machine weighing 20,000 tons is working tirelessly.
Just one track of this huge land monster is heavier than a small car. There are six such tracks, and these tracks carry an extremely large body! Every time this excavator drives around the mine,
It takes a full 2 days!
However, because it has a rotating cutting device that is larger than a Ferris wheel, each step forward of this ore cutting machine can dig out 15 tons of original ore for the Eilanhill Empire.
These raw ores will be transported to the back of the excavating and cutting machine by a conveyor belt, and then one after another huge super-load dump trucks will pick up the fallen ore and transport them to the refining plant.
Each dump truck is as spectacular as a moving hill. Each wheel has a diameter of more than 2 meters. This is far from the largest dump truck in the Eilandhill Empire. A dump truck of this size is used entirely because its price is relatively low.
It's cheaper and the performance is pretty good.
There are five mines like this on the planet. Super huge mines can be seen clearly even from low-Earth orbit in space.
The Airansil Empire's desire for resources is beyond anyone's imagination, and the Star Empire's consumption of resources at full capacity is definitely faster than anyone's imagination!
Dump trucks will transport the ore to the refining plants outside the mines. The huge crushers in these refining plants first crush the raw ore, smashing the ore into pieces that are not much smaller than an ordinary family car.
Then, the further crushing equipment will continue to crush the already crushed raw ore, crushing them into slag not much larger than BB bullets.
In fact, the work of crushing the ore is far from over here. Such debris will be transported to the ball mill for further grinding.
Yes, grind! Those huge ores the size of a car will eventually turn into flour here!
After such magical rough processing, the mineral processing work has just begun. Different metals have different physical properties. The principles of vibration, centrifugation, floating and even magnetism are used to screen out the metals that are really needed layer by layer, and discard the remaining slag.
.
The scarce associated metals will be collected and transported to corresponding other processing plants, and the remaining parts will be the metals to be processed on a large scale here.
Soon, these metal powders will be added with some additives and placed on a rolling chain for heating. The powder will be heated and sintered here into pieces similar to metal sheets.
Such a strengthless board will eventually be broken mechanically, just like breaking pieces of chocolate.
The broken pieces are finally sent to the blast furnace on a conveyor belt, where rare metals and other elements are added, and the required metal ingots are smelted depending on the temperature.
For the Elanshir Empire, it was not until this time that a piece of metal material that could be used was produced.
Whether it's armor on a battleship, steel pipes for artillery, or even screws or springs, they all have to be produced and processed from these metal ingots with different properties.
Countless metal ingots, including gold ingots, silver ingots, copper ingots, iron ingots, steel ingots, ferrite ingots, etc., were transported together, loaded onto spaceships, and launched into space.
In the universe, countless transport spaceships gather these materials together, and then finally combine them to become a brand new Airanthil Empire star battleship!
Not only is the space army expanding rapidly, in the past five months, the individual weapon output of the Airanhill Empire has been the same as in the past two years combined!
Human troops began to desperately equip themselves with electromagnetic rifles. The eliminated assault rifles were assigned to the weaker races of the orcs, and also to some thin demons.
10mm caliber assault rifles specially manufactured for demons and orcs have also begun to be installed in large numbers of troops.
Within a week, the Demon Clan of the Elanshir Empire formed 20 infantry divisions. The composition of these infantry divisions is very different from traditional infantry divisions, because the establishment of these infantry divisions is used solely for reconnaissance and testing and weakening.
Enemy devil dog formation.
Purely in terms of numbers, these Demon Infantry Divisions have a standard establishment of 3 regiments with 5,000 people. However, including the Demon Dogs, the size of the entire division is almost on par with military-level units.
Demon dogs can also help demon soldiers carry ammunition and transport supplies, so they can save a lot of transportation vehicles.
Therefore, in addition to being equipped with weapons such as assault rifles and mortars, these troops look like a "World War I era" force that mainly relies on livestock transportation.
The situation of the Orcs is better. They don't have "partners" like demon dogs. However, their cars and armored vehicles all have to use a larger and unique design, which in itself is a headache.
Fortunately, the Elanshir Empire has large armored vehicles specially designed for soldiers wearing powered exoskeletons, which can be used by the orcs.
The Air Force is also undergoing huge changes. The original air force pilots of the Airan Hill Empire, including those currently in training, have basically been transferred to the Space Force.
Therefore, various types of drones have begun to spread on a large scale. There is no way. Although they are still unable to perform complex air combat missions, air supremacy on the surface of the planet is actually not that important now.
"Huh..." Not far away, another spacecraft took off into the sky, swaying its huge body, climbing cumbersomely above the clouds, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the past half year or so, many changes have taken place in the Eilanhill Empire. For example, racial integration was progressing slowly in the past.
Nowadays, many rare races have appeared in the civil service of the Airanhill Empire.
For example, the demons. It turns out that the demons are basically excluded from the circle of government officials. Although there are demon officials, their proportion in the circle is so low that it is staggering.
Now, the number of public officials from the Demon Race has begun to increase, and handsome high-level Demon Race guys can be seen patrolling in police uniforms on the streets of many planets.
At the same time, some races that are about the same size as humans have begun to integrate into human society in large numbers.
For example, the Fox Clan, who are not good-looking and have always been unable to hold their own in the Orc Clan because of their weakness, have found a new position for themselves by using their wisdom and good communication skills.
If it is not unusual to see a demon policeman on the street, then seeing a demon policeman standing next to a fox policeman fully illustrates the problem.
In today's ruling hall, the governor is likely to be a human, and his secretary may be a succubus.
The likely composition of his ruling team is two humans, one dwarf, one elf, plus a demon and a fox.
Orcs and dragons also appear occasionally, and they also begin to serve as some local officials. However, these two races more often appear in the military system.
In the past six months, the military department has been worrying about how to expand its army!
Wagelund approved 21 lieutenant general promotion reports in one week, and he may approve 20 more in the next few days.
The demons expanded to 20 infantry divisions, the puppets expanded to 110 divisions, the humans expanded to 15 heavy armored divisions, 7 dwarf mixed divisions, 11 orc divisions, 2 elf divisions, and 2 dragon divisions.
Just to expand so many troops, Wageron, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the imperial armed forces, will have to promote and appoint 167 division commanders!
This is no joke. Promoting so many division commanders at once means promoting three times the number of regiment commanders, nine times the number of battalion commanders, and 27 times the number of company commanders!
Such a large-scale expansion is definitely a huge challenge to the talent pool of the Airanhill Empire's military. What's even more frightening is that this challenge is just the beginning!
Yes! This is just the beginning! The final plan of the Eiland Hill Empire is to expand at least 20,000 puppet divisions in the next two years, and ensure that one-tenth of them will be heavy armored divisions!
You read that right, a full 20,000! The number of puppets in each division must be no less than 10,000! Because the puppets have weak combat effectiveness, in order to ensure the overall combat effectiveness, the number of puppet robot masters can only be increased.
In other words, just for combat robots, the Airanhill Empire will produce 200 million of them in the next two years!
If the mobilization order is still not canceled in the third year, then this number will double again! The Elanshir Empire will deploy 400 million puppet battle robots at the same time!
No one dares to imagine how many robots would be produced if the Elanshir Empire remained mobilized in the fourth or fifth year.
Because that is already an astronomical number! Maybe one billion, maybe two billion! In short, it is really a number that makes one’s scalp numb!
Although hundreds of millions does not sound amazing, you must know that that is the increase in the number of combat puppet robots alone!
At the same time, there are also logistics departments, production factories, and weapons supplies that support these billions of puppet troops. They can also only be supported by robots.
In other words, the Airanhill Empire will produce more than 10 billion puppet robots in the next few years!
Just based on the number of people, it is equivalent to mass-producing the entire population of the earth within three to four years! This is no joke!
Of course, when natural people reproduce and accumulate a sufficient population, neither the top political leaders of the Airanhill Empire nor the military bosses will have enough patience.
Chris also began to ignore martial ethics. In order to make up for the "insufficiency" of human numbers, he approved the application of cloning technology.
After cloning and genetic modification, the Landseer Empire will be able to mass-produce 3 million pure "clone warriors" in the next two years.
These soldiers will be added to the frontline combat forces and perform the most dangerous combat missions! They are obviously different from the cloned parent body, which is also technically mandatory.
It seems that the number of these 3 million clones is not large, but you must know that these people are pure warriors cloned specifically for war!
They are not a population of three million, but three million soldiers capable of fighting! As long as these people open their eyes, they can be trained immediately and can go into battle in a short time!
Moreover, once this cloning technology is fully released, the Elanshir Empire can increase the production speed of clones when needed.
At that time, millions or even tens of millions of soldiers will be quickly mass-produced and then immediately put into battle.
This is all preparation for the next war, and it is all a bargaining chip for the Empire of Elanthir! No one wants to lose everything during the stud, so they must ensure victory in the next war!
On Jiuyou Planet, Lu Wuyue silently stared at the puppet sitting in the first place, waiting for Feng Xiaoqing to say something.
The second elder, Mrs. Han, also remained silent because she also knew that the current situation was actually very difficult to solve.
The empire's order for war mobilization has been issued for half a year, and Jiuyou still has not been able to contribute its own strength.
The two million prisoners of the Sky Sword Shen Sect who surrendered basically had no intention of continuing to participate in the war. This problem was indeed a headache.
The sword cultivators, who have long seen the powerful force of the Ailanthir Empire, believe that even the Ailanthir Empire cannot solve the problem, and adding them will not help.
Although there are still some swordsmen who repay their kindness and are willing to join the army, compared to other races or other planets, this ratio really puts Lu Wuyue to shame.
Therefore, today she called all the elders of Jiuyou and held such a meeting. She wanted to discuss a result so that she could repay the help and kindness of the Ailanhir Empire.
"Since you won't say anything, let me talk." The third elder, who had put on some weight because he ate well and slept well, broke the silence and said.
He looked at the crowd, then at Saint Lu Wuyue, and volunteered: "How about I take people to help, select 1,000 Jiuyou core disciples, and recruit 30,000 swordsmen...?"
