Tubao Region, one of the most important industrial bases in the Eilanhill Empire, is a super giant production factory No. 3 directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.
This is a planet and a factory. This is a huge existence of a factory and a planet.
There are rest areas and residential areas for workers here, as well as almost endless factory buildings as far as the eye can see.
There are supporting production facilities here for any parts you can think of. If production capacity coordination is required, they can also be directly deployed from other industrial areas through the space port.
There are 2 billion puppet robots specializing in production on the entire planet, with 110 million workers and 30 million cloned top industrial technicians.
As the pearl of the empire's industry, the industrial production of this planet never stops. The roar of machines never stops. With the blessing of nuclear fusion reactors, the equipment on the planet can operate almost materially.
Morak, the dwarf in charge of managing this planet, once proudly said that as the expansion of the empire never stops, the fire in the earth castle factory will not be extinguished.
Smith, the Minister of Industry, also once told people that if you only need to visit the Tuba District, you will have no doubt about the prosperity of the empire.
The official documentation of the earthen castle describes the terrifying scale of the entire planet's industrial zone in no exaggeration: If all the production capacity of the factories here were converted to stainless steel washbasins, and they only needed to start work for one day, the Eilandhill Empire would be destroyed within a hundred years.
There is no need to produce stainless steel basins anymore.
At the same time, it is also a place where elves are almost invisible. For the elves who respect nature, this place is simply the hell described in the Book of Revelation.
No matter how it is managed, the air here is filled with the smell of steel; no matter how many trees are planted here, the sky here is always hazy.
In order to make this place barely meet the healthy standards of human life, elven magicians are regularly dispatched to this planet to perform comprehensive management tasks.
After paying such a heavy price, the fortress area of the Eilanhill Empire has reached a terrifyingly exaggerated production capacity.
According to General Luo Kai of the Imperial General Staff, the bullets produced here in one minute are enough to fight a war.
At this moment, a floating magic array lit up at the bottom of a spaceship, and it landed lightly on the huge landing pad specially prepared for the spaceship.
The Z-30 aircraft parked around were neatly arranged. The Space Force officer responsible for picking up the plane was a colonel. He stood at attention and saluted everyone who got off the plane with a smile on his face: "Good afternoon! Gentlemen!"
"Sir!" All the soldiers who stepped off the plane had high military ranks. They were basically captains, lieutenants, or at least second lieutenants.
They are all pilots, and they are all ace pilots in various units. The most famous one is the super ace Olank who just shot down 1,000 enemy flying devices.
"Do you know the reason why I've called you here?" the colonel who picked up the plane asked as he led the way.
"Yes, sir!" A handsome pilot wearing a military cap crookedly replied with a smile.
"After experiments, the Logistics Department of the Imperial Army has decided to phase out the Z-type fighter jets and F-type fighter jets and replace them with the latest space weapons." The officer said to Oulanke and others while walking.
About a few hundred meters away on his left hand side is the huge air transport station. A spacecraft is launched from here almost every 10 minutes to transport the produced products to the Star Ring Factory Area of Tubao 3.
.
The factories on the ground produce parts or other industrial equipment, while the Star Ring factories produce spacecrafts. Everyone has different divisions of labor and different manufacturing fields.
The group of people soon arrived at the factory area, which was a super automated factory with a factory building dozens of meters high.
The people walking around were either clone engineers or specially designed puppet production robots.
Different from combat robots, production robots have completely different shapes and appearances because they have to adapt to different tasks. Some robots are very tall, while others are less than one meter tall.
Some robots' fingers are as slender as probes, while some robots' hands are just thick pliers. They are designed to meet a certain process, and they are almost useless except for their own work.
However, such differentiation has brought about an amazing increase in production capacity. Special robots can no longer be replaced in the production process.
Above everyone's heads, maglev trains roared past. Trains loaded with supplies transported parts produced by other factories here at super high speeds, and then transported the things produced here to the finished product airport.
From time to time, there are also passenger trains full of resting workers leaving. They go directly to nearby residential areas. Workers taking a break on shift shifts will take these vehicles to return to their homes.
There are hundreds of one-nanometer level photolithography machines on the entire planet producing chips, and the chips produced supply the platforms that need chips on the entire planet.
Thousands of cargo spacecraft arrive here every day, loaded with ores or metal ingots, providing raw materials for the operation of factories on the entire planet.
Compared with Ailansiris, this place is more sci-fi and colder. It is completely different from the diversified and de-industrialized imperial capital. Everything here is constantly turning the most primitive ores into the most cutting-edge.
Industrial products.
In Tubao, you can only see flashing neon billboards in residential areas, but you can see conveyor belts and loading and unloading robotic arms everywhere. Huge cranes of various types are set against the chimneys more than 200 meters high, which are constantly rising day and night.
Light blue smoke.
"Did you see this? This is the new weapon that is making a splash in New District 6." He led a group of people to the factory that produces the latest space weapons. The factory here still smelled of paint.
According to the requirements of the elves, all the decoration materials used here are of first-class environmental protection quality. Just like modern home decoration, every material is of environmental protection quality, and it may not be possible to put them together.
Seeing these huge humanoid weapons undergoing final assembly and debugging, a group of well-informed pilots immediately showed disappointed expressions: "Tch...isn't this just a large uipa...it sounds like I have never seen it before"
Same."
"This is much more complicated than you think." The colonel smiled and comforted these ace pilots who seemed to be very disappointed.
"Here, let our chief engineer...Miss Roko introduce to you this, the empire's future space weapon!" the colonel introduced solemnly, pointing to the beautiful engineer who was supervising the assistants' operation and debugging of the computer.
That's right, she is the beautiful engineer from the No. 9 Experimental Space Station. She is now assigned here to be responsible for the production and manufacturing of the first batch of Zaku.
As for the poor male engineer who borrowed the concept of UIPA, he is still engaged in related research work at the No. 9 Experimental Space Station.
The programmer missed his love after all, and the beautiful engineer Roko is still single. No one is the winner in this love war.
"Don't underestimate it. Although it looks like uipa, there is almost no connection between the two except the principle. It uses the latest sensing technology and has a higher response speed than the previous one." He put down his hand.
As part of his work, Rocco began to introduce new weapons.
The Eilandsil Empire obviously spares no expense for this kind of weapon that may change the course of the war. Because of the fear of natural population losses and concerns about population shortage, the Eilandsyr Empire has been trying to reduce the impact of war on the population.
Consumption.
This is the core reason why the Elanshir Empire uses a large number of clones and puppet robots.
Under the influence of this kind of thinking, it can be said that the weapons designers of Elanshir spared no effort in designing weapons like Zaku that can only be piloted by natural people.
What does "spare no expense" mean? "No expense is spared" means that Zaku used a lot of the latest technology that was previously reluctant to use because of its high cost. In short, compared with previous weapons and equipment, its sophistication is far beyond imagination.
"Enhanced uipa?" After hearing Roko's introduction, a pilot didn't buy it and started teasing the beauty.
"Listen to what I have to say." Luo Ke picked up the curly hair on his shoulders with his fingers, his voice full of charm.
"Okay, tell me." Sure enough, the ace pilot who was loved by girls and had countless girls knew more about style than programmers and stopped interrupting Rocco's introduction.
Roko was not interested in the pilot. She continued her work and introduced: "After improving the perception technology, we have also added some new control technologies. Including new propulsion thought control technology and neural response enhancement technology."
Natural people do not have propellers. They can control Zaku through their souls or mental power, allowing Zaku to maintain the same movement as themselves, but they can hardly rely on their souls to control Zaku's propellers.
This requires computer assistance and some adaptive training. The previous experimental model Zaku did not have these new functions, but on the mass-produced Zaku, these new technologies have been applied.
Sometimes the testing machine is not necessarily more advanced than the mass-produced machine. Sometimes the testing machine is indeed more powerful than the mass-produced machine. This is completely random. It does not necessarily mean that the mass-produced machine is a verification machine with weakened performance.
"As long as the driver uses his brain, this new weapon called Zaku can fly freely in the universe." Roko has been debugging these new technologies and the equipment that supports these technologies recently, so she is very familiar with these things.
Have confidence.
"It can completely make irregular flight movements, and can avoid most interception firepower. It is much more flexible than the Z-type fighter." A test flight video was called up, and Roko pointed at the trajectory and said.
Seeing this trajectory, Olanke's eyes lit up. If he wanted to fly out of this trajectory smoothly, he would need to perform very complicated operations using the Z-Fighter.
He can even say with certainty that apart from him, there are not many pilots who dare to say that they can fly a Z-type fighter with both hands and feet to make such complex maneuvers!
Obviously, although the test pilot on Zaku is also a master, there is still a big gap compared with the experienced Olanke.
Since the other party was able to make such a heaven-defying maneuver with Zaku, it meant that at least in terms of control, this brand-new weapon was already superior to his Z-type fighter that had been carefully tuned by the ground crew.
"With the propellers on its legs, it can change its flight direction at any time, saving a lot of engine space." Rocco continued to introduce the incredible performance of this weapon: "So it can carry more fuel.
, can fly farther, have stronger defense, and can support sharper attacks."
"You continue." There are few pilots who are absent-minded now. They are all strong men fighting on the front line of the war and risking their own lives. They are naturally very professional in their own fields.
As the introduction content continues to increase, they can already feel the powerful performance of the new weapons.
For ace pilots like them, more powerful performance means a greater probability of survival on the battlefield and more achievements.
Therefore, when the ace pilots heard this, their eyes were sharp. They were all eager to know what kind of performance this weapon had and what height it could elevate them to on the battlefield.
"In terms of energy utilization, it uses our latest scientific research results, and the energy mobilization speed is faster... Don't underestimate this technology, we only use this technology on the latest invincible-class battleships! Now, this technology
It has already sunk to Zaku's level of mecha weapons, which is already very rare." Luo Ke lived up to expectations and continued to introduce.
Similar technology sinking often happens. It is normal for low-end products or smaller products to use previously high-end technology and use previously bulky technical equipment.
For example, technologies that were previously only used in the Volkswagen Magotan level are now used in the Sagitar level. Some technologies and configurations of the BMW 5 Series have now also been transferred to the BMW 3 Series.
"With such technology, Zaku's defense is faster and more reliable. It can use less energy to strengthen local magic defense barriers and can withstand most single-target fire attacks." Luo Ke explained while adjusting.
I took a data chart and introduced in detail the gap between existing technology and the latest technology.
Although the difference is calculated in milliseconds, in actual combat, even an extra 0.0001 millisecond is still a lot!
"In terms of weapons, it is much more powerful than the Z-Fighter." When it comes to weapons, all the pilots are more focused. This is the basis for their achievements and is something that everyone is very concerned about.
"Look, everyone, this is a shoulder-mounted disposable rocket launcher. At close range, it can easily penetrate the warship defense of the watcher." After leading everyone dozens of meters into the factory, Luo Ke pointed at a door.
The giant rocket launcher said.
This is a weapon that was previously used to suppress the rebellion in New District 6, and has now begun mass production. Although it is a one-time weapon, it can give Zaku the ability to destroy large battleships, so it is also one of the very important core equipment.
Another core equipment of Zaku is the technical lightsaber technique from the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect. After this technique was improved, it evolved into the energy sword technique of the Elanthir Empire.
Luo Ke pointed to the two charged sword hilts placed on Zaku's waist and introduced: "Also, have you seen this lightsaber? It can use this technology from the Sky Sword Sect to fight at close range.
, the combat effectiveness is ten times stronger than that of the Z-Fighter!"
"The electromagnetic cannon is designed on the shoulder. It can be discarded at any time if necessary. It also stores more ammunition...but this is not its main battle weapon." He pointed at the electromagnetic cannon on Zaku's shoulder with his hand.
Roko did not introduce the suppression system in detail.
This thing is also found on the Z-Fighter. It is considered the core weaponry of the Z-Fighter. Its actual combat effectiveness is average. It can only be said to be better than nothing.
Even before Zaku was born, the Airansil Emperor had been looking for alternatives to electromagnetic weapons, because on the battlefield, electromagnetic cannons had shown signs of decline and were somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of power.
A replacement was quickly developed, which is Zaku's current core equipment, the particle beam gun.
This weapon uses a magic array to focus particle energy, and its power and ballistic performance far exceed that of the electromagnetic cannon. The only disadvantage is that the charging time of this weapon is relatively long at this stage, and its ability to suppress continuous fire is weaker than that of the electromagnetic cannon.
A lot.
However, all military representatives who have seen the particle beam gun in action are certain that this weapon is the direction of development and represents the future of warfare!
"The standard weapon is a particle ray gun. This newly developed weapon was specially developed for Zaku... It has not yet been equipped with other battleships or mechas..." Obviously, Roko also thinks that this kind of weapon
Represents the future.
So when she introduced this weapon, she was much more detailed than when she introduced the electromagnetic machine gun before.
The ace pilots were also more interested in this weapon. They carefully watched the video of the weapon's firing attack, and followed Rocco to get closer to the actual objects placed on the production line.
As a Zaku weapon, it is too big for a human. Standing next to this kind of light gun, these ace pilots are like figures.
"The particle ray gun can easily penetrate our existing armor, and it is also very effective against magic defense barriers... At close range, the power is even more powerful than the magic laser cannon. This has been confirmed in the new area 6, and what we provide is actual combat
Data." Luo Ke habitually brushed away the curly hair on his shoulders with his hand, and put his other hand in his pocket, quite like a royal sister: "With this kind of weapon, Zaku can threaten the opponent at close range.
Advanced battleship, destroy the enemy's core main battleship 'Arbitrator'!"
"The only drawback is that this weapon, named Zaku by His Majesty the Emperor himself, cannot be used by clones. We can only use natural humans to drive and control it." When she reached the end of the production line, she said with some regret.
After finishing speaking, she looked at the pilots and showed a bright smile: "This is also the reason why you are here...Before they are mass-produced, you have to start adaptive training...wait for them to be measured.
After it is produced, you will be the first batch of pilots to drive this kind of space humanoid weapon!"
"I know that many of you have been modified." She mentioned the pilot genetic modification project without hesitation, as if she were mentioning an ordinary technology research and development project.
Regarding that painful memory that many pilots were unwilling to mention, Rocco just regarded it as a technological experiment with the development of the times.
"Many people have enhanced genes and are participants in previous genetic modification experiments." When she talked about this, she was even a little envious of being able to be modified and become more powerful humans, which has always been what many people yearn for.
"So your reaction speed is faster, and you can bear greater pressure and overload. Originally, you were strengthened to adapt to the super version of the J-30 fighter, which is the enhanced J-40 fighter." At this point.
, Rocco also mentioned an almost forgotten weapons project.
The J-40 fighter jet project of that year truly challenged the limits of mankind: the human body became the only bottleneck limiting the development of weapons. In order to adapt to more powerful weapons, the pilots had to transform their bodies and become hybrid genetic experiments.
.
The result is actually very sad. Soon the space age is coming, and no matter how powerful the J-40 fighter is, it is just an intra-atmospheric fighter.
In the end, the J-40 project was canceled and the Z-type fighter project was put on the agenda. The super pilots who had been transformed were transferred to the Space Force and began the adaptation training of the Z-type fighter.
Mentioning this matter, many pilots showed regretful expressions on their faces. Their efforts were not rewarded, which made them somewhat depressed.
"But now, the J-40 fighter jet project has been stalled, because fighter jets in the atmosphere can no longer determine the outcome of the war." Roko didn't care about this, and she continued.
"Those who control the universe can control the sky. You already know this very well, so your talents will be used in the war for the universe." After saying this, she pointed to the huge Zaku behind her and announced loudly.
Said: "Everyone, we will provide you with a debug version of the enhanced Zaku. They are more powerful, faster, and more effective than the mass-produced models..."
"Only you can control such a monster. I hope you can bring victory to the empire while possessing powerful weapons!" After she finished speaking, she gave up her position to the colonel of the Space Army who had been following her.
"It's really exciting... we actually produced so many at once..." Looking at the Zaku Legion on the production line, several ace fighter pilots who came to visit sighed.
"So! When can we get such an airframe?" A pilot raised his arm and asked.
"Tomorrow." The one who answered him this time was the colonel officer who brought them to visit——
