The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 519 "Flying Ant" Gunboat

"For the construction of some large units, such as the "Avenger" class aerospace battleship, if it is to be built automatically, it is necessary to build a huge automated factory, which will take a year or even several years. Even if it is built, if there is no supporting automation engineering, its construction speed will not be faster than semi-automatic construction.

"It is recommended that the commander find ways to develop a complete set of industrial systems with sufficient manpower and government enterprises. The same is true for selling privatization in the future."

Under strong rigid demand, the development speed of private enterprises is naturally not comparable to the construction speed of enterprises planned by the government. Under the premise of having technology and manpower, it will soon be effective.

At this time, the intelligent brain said again: "The enemy of Black Flag City is the alien beast, and the development of armaments must be targeted. Only in this way can Black Flag City move forward bravely in the battle with the alien beast. "

Intelligent Brain said a lot, and also made Li Meng give up the idea of ​​building an automated factory.

Li Meng previously believed that only by building an automated factory could the heavy industrial capacity of Black Flag City be greatly improved. Now it seems that this is not the case. There are many factors to increase production capacity, and automated factories are not the most important.

Li Meng asked: "Intelligent Brain, what suggestions do you have? ”

The intelligent brain replied: “If you can’t defeat the alien beasts with quality, then defeat them with quantity. When facing the fourth-stage alien beasts, the Sky Eye fighter has no advantage. Although the "Avenger" frigate is powerful enough, it can also develop a second anti-aircraft model, increase the number of small-caliber secondary guns, and kill the enemy with dense barrages, which can effectively kill the alien beasts. However, the "Avenger" frigate is a battleship, up to 150 meters long, and the construction period is not short. If there is not enough quantity, in the face of the alien beasts with absolute numerical advantage, the "Avenger" frigate does not have a strong survivability. It is recommended to develop a smaller anti-aircraft gunboat, which does not require too thick armor, does not require too advanced design, has a simple structure, is easy to build, and has a shorter construction period. It does not require a shipyard. Ordinary steel mills are capable of building it, which will allow Black Flag City to have a large number of gunboat fleets in a short period of time. ”

Design an anti-aircraft gunboat?

Without much hesitation, since the intelligent brain has made a suggestion, it proves that this suggestion is feasible.

Compared to himself, the intelligent brain is a professional in all aspects, and similar intelligent brains are always right.

Li Meng said: "Let's do it this way, design an anti-aircraft gunboat as soon as possible and build it with all our strength."

The blue light flashed, and a holographic image appeared next to the holographic bust of the intelligent brain.

It is a model, a model of a gunboat.

"This is a spare armed gunboat designed by Engineer No. 1 in his spare time. It is 60 meters long, 16 meters wide, and 15 meters high. It is an unmanned gunboat. It uses the upgraded version of the Sky Eye fighter AI. It has four lift engines, two thrust engines, and four auxiliary steering engines. The weapons include 18 20mm three-barrel magnetic acceleration guns, a range of 50,000 kilometers, powered by six supercapacitors, a standby time of 154 hours, and can carry 5 million rounds of ammunition. It has the ability to break through the atmosphere. Due to its simple structure, the construction period is 5-15 days, and it can be built in batches. "

Looking at the model of the gunboat, Li Meng muttered in his heart.

It seems that Engineer No. 1 really has nothing to do, and he actually designed some spare weapons and equipment.

The 60-meter-long gunboat is neither big nor small. The three-barrel 20mm caliber magnetic acceleration cannon is also specially designed for this kind of gunboat. The main enemy of the gunboat is the alien beast, and it does not need a too fast firing rate. Too many gun barrels and too fast firing rate will cause a great waste of bullets.

Although the firing rate is several times slower than that of the 7-barrel magnetic acceleration cannon, the gunboat has increased the number of turrets.

Eighteen turrets, four under the belly, four on the upper deck, and one on each side deck Five seats, the gunboat is armed to the teeth, facing the monsters attacking from any direction, there are attack angles.

Its appearance is also very strange, not as flat as the "Avenger" frigate, a bit like a transport ship, square, but not smooth, with a raised deck, the lines are very rough and tough.

All turrets can be retracted into the ship, which can reduce the loss of the turrets, and only come out during combat.

The engines are not parallel, but symmetrically placed vertically, which makes the engine nozzle look very thick.

Li Meng said: "This type of gunboat is called "Flying Ant"."

The number of "Flying Ant" gunboats is destined to be large, and this name is very suitable for it.

Intelligent brain: "Yes, it has been named and included in the construction plan. All factories capable of building "Flying Ant" gunboats are being evaluated, and the construction list is being distributed. It has been distributed. "

The biggest enemy at the moment is still the alien beast tribe in the Central Plains. As for the Red Thunder Beast tribe in the Japanese archipelago, it is the enemy to be faced in the future. At least for now, Black Flag City still has some time to prepare.

Although he knew the huge threat of the Red Thunder Beast tribe in the Japanese archipelago, Li Meng did not intend to affect the settlement circle plan because of this. While preparing for war, he also had to focus on the development of Black Flag City.

In any case, the development of Black Flag City cannot be stopped, because once it stops, it will be difficult for Black Flag City to gain a foothold in the land of China in the future.

Li Meng added: "The development of heavy industry will be handed over to Huameng Group, and we will fully support Huameng Group. Huameng Group will represent the government to fully develop heavy industry. We must increase the production capacity of Black Flag City at all costs. "

Intelligent Brain: "Yes, the relevant plan has been formulated. It is expected that within half a year, the heavy industrial capacity of Black Flag City will increase by 5-10 times, and the manpower required... Commander, based on the current population of Black Flag City, we have a labor gap of 100,000 to 300,000 people. If we cannot fill the gap in the labor force, we can only increase the automation of the factory and use robots instead of labor."

After thinking for a while, Li Meng waved his hand and said, "No, we can't just focus on the present. Don't worry about the labor gap. I will find a way to solve it. Half a year is enough."

There will always be a way. Plans can't keep up with changes. The settlement circle plan and the plan to conquer the mountain city people can only be carried out at the same time. Although it is a bit reluctant, the mountain city people are not like the alien beast tribe. It is not difficult to solve them.

"Hu..."

After taking a deep breath, Li Meng stood up and strode towards the direction of the elevator.

Behind him, the blue light flashed, and the holographic bust of the intelligent brain disappeared instantly.

And 666 in the training room and her assistants silently watched the commander leave.

Time passed quickly, and unknowingly, three days had passed.

On the third day of the mecha competition, the three-day mecha competition came to a perfect end with the final victory of one person.

For the citizens of Black Flag City, they have spent three unforgettable days, and it is time to return to work.
