Chapter 252(1/3)
The Curtain Opens (Give Counting Tickets)
——
In early August of the 54th year of the Rune Calendar (every 10 days is one day, and each month is divided into four days), the temporary gunboat plan was officially finalized
The previous ugly plan has been improved to some extent, turning the original single-barreled gunboat into a five-barreled gunboat, and it looks much more pleasing to the eye after the stupid and thick chimney is removed;
The totem application of this ship only lies in the skeleton structure (to prevent self-fire), the main gun, and the fire control and loading system. The rest are all made of ordinary materials.
Ordinary materials on the hull are easy to manufacture. Whether it is raw material production or subsequent processing, there are many domestic factories that can easily complete it;
As for the remaining totem components, although the various demands during manufacturing will be high, they also have their own solutions.——
In mid-August, the selection of upstream factories was completed and production line adjustments began;
As far as the skeleton is concerned, because the magic plants can be fused with each other using a 'totem welding gun' in the later stage, it is not necessary to manufacture the entire large piece at the same time;
During manufacturing, a complete totem structure can be divided into small branches, and then individually engraved on small parts;
These small parts will be sent to the superior factory for the next stage of processing. After one or several steps, they will become "ribs", "gun body fixing plates" and other frame components, and finally sent to the assembly plant for final completion.
Integrate.
The manufacturing of reaction chambers can be roughly divided into the above-mentioned steps. Each type of chamber body branch is handed over to certain factories to be made, and then sent to the gun factory for assembly, and then sent to the final assembly plant to complete the 'shipping'.
Under this arrangement, while the witch doctors were spending time building the final assembly plant, that is, the dock and related equipment, many private factories assigned to work had already begun production.
——
At the end of August (31st to 40th), the upstream factory completed the production line inspection and started mass production.
——
In early October, the witch doctors concentrated on completing the design and construction of eight dry docks and corresponding totem engineering machinery.
Time went back about a month and a half, and the witch doctors had already completed eight dry docks along the deep-water port, leaving room for future expansion;
The parts manufactured by the upstream processing plants have become large pieces and are piled up in the shipyard warehouse in categories;
As a result, the 'final assembly' work and assembly verification work were seamlessly connected.
Of course, this command method will only be used in significant military operations such as 'capturing advanced salamanders', and will not become a routine means of fighting the enemy.
At the same time, a list of totem industrial products with optional items such as 'Music Player', 'Bread Oven', 'Super Luxurious Palace-style Totem Building', etc. was sent to the plateau city-state for its senior officials to choose.
After they have made a 'demonstration', they are still considering whether to promote it among the private sector;
As for the promised weapons, the relevant research institute submitted a heavily weakened '8mm single-shot slow-fire gun' that can cause damage to horn-hoofed species, but cannot penetrate the troll's skull and chest and back muscles.
Through decision-making, it becomes the only weapon that can be provided to the top brass of the Hornhoof species.
On the other side, there is a "technical analysis center room" located in the dock room. At this time, several engineers are wearing headphones and holding drawings in their hands to study something seriously;
Judging from the contrast between the outside and the inside, what they are doing at this time seems to echo the technician in the large operation room of the shipyard?
In fact, this is indeed the case. One of the items they are checking at this time is the 'plan' and 'variables' when manually operating the 'large-scale fusion';
For example, the fit of totem branches after large workpieces are combined.
One thing about building a ship by assembling parts is relatively inconvenient;
At this time, there are more than 40,000 controllable plants in the volcano base, and the number of warriors hired by the Hornhoof species is obviously not enough to fully utilize them;
Therefore, after the military held a small meeting, in order to ensure the success rate of the capture operation, they decided to recruit 15,000 troll warriors from the private sector to control the remaining plants.
Second, Nesta was promoted to the third level in the 46th year of the Rune Calendar. After that, he fully liberalized the 'second level' promotion method. As a result, in the past nine years, he had the highest qualifications and completed the accumulated experience.
23 witch doctors successfully upgraded themselves to the second level and completed the complete elves transformation;
Although there is the word "war" in the name of the more than 300 "war witch" elves, most of them are still doing research in various fields at this time, except for Cui Wenli and a few others who originally worked in the ruling government or led the army.
Those who hold positions have shown no intention of abandoning their writing and joining the army, and the headquarters certainly has no plans to persuade them to leave their research positions;
As for the five hundred pure soldiers, the vast majority are active and non-active officers and non-commissioned officers, and a few are civilian 'people';
Those pure witch doctors who were promoted in a straight line or curved way were still in the Rune Council and leading various research institutes as always.
After that, the technician put the 'welding gun' back into the multifunctional arm aside, took out another similar object from it, and pointed it at the area that had been pieced together.
Therefore, whether it is 'sea to land' or 'land to land', the firing range adjustment data required during artillery bombardment will inevitably be a variable and huge amount of calculation;
Whether it is the inner circle controlled by the horned hoof species, or the outer circle controlled by the trolls during war, these plants serve as 'restrictions' in wartime, and there is no need to rush forward for melee combat;
Upstream, the parts production side has been running in for more than a month. Regardless of the specifications of each part or the inscription of the branch totem, adjustments have been made to the process for excellence;
"Okay, you should take a closer look." After saying this, the technician pressed the start button with his finger.
At this time, the body of the Totem Engineering Machinery felt a slight vibration transmitted to the technician's hands, but the more specific reaction was almost impossible to observe;
If someone who doesn't understand comes to the scene in person, they may think that he is pretending at this time.
However, the serious expression on the technician's face is very persuasive, and his hands maintain a steady and persistent scanning motion. It seems that he is indeed carrying out some kind of important work.
"On behalf of Army W, I issue a formal order. Non-active officers will return to the army immediately. All sergeants will end their leave and prepare for war. The horn-hoofed vassal army will begin preparations for war. Twenty thousand levied troops will begin preparations for war."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work~" The technician's slightly distorted voice came from the equipment on the side.——
late October;
The eight dry docks specially built by the witch doctors are semi-open structures 80 meters long, 50 meters wide and 35 meters deep, and are naturally a combination of mechanical engineering and totem equipment;
At this time, the eight shipyards had already begun the assembly of their first gunboats.
Inside the dock, there are five large cranes spanning the left and right sides on the top, slightly smaller multi-functional arms on the walls, and construction platforms on the ground that can adjust the height;
A skilled worker is holding a totem engineering instrument with a root at the end connected to a 'multifunctional arm', and is processing large workpieces fixed by large and small cranes.
Finally, strengthen the ‘trap’ and divert casualties;
An unexpected product caused by the failure of the 'activated armor', the 'controllable magic plants' that have been introduced before have been produced and cultivated for several years. At this time, the number has reached 40,000, and has been
It spreads across the entire volcano group, turning it from the original barrenness into the greenery it is today;
Soon after, lists and weapon samples were delivered, totem trees were planted, and 25,000 hired horn-hoof warriors took rail cars to the camp near the southern volcanoes, and received the corresponding totem depictions one after another.
Just like now, the information at the intersection of large workpieces entered their ears after multiple amplifications, and was detected by an engineer as an 'error';
This error may not affect the totem effect in a short period of time, but after repeated bombardments, it may eventually be damaged prematurely, thereby transferring the pressure that should have been borne by it to other totem workpieces, reducing the integrity of the entire skeleton.
Lifespan is shortened.
Among them, two thousand tree elves are concentrated in the Central School and study in the lower grades and middle grades according to their birth batch;
Three hundred and fifty such trees were made, of which three hundred were placed in the mercenary camp, and fifty were placed in the outer northern city of the northern plateau. The former were led by the officers of the headquarters for unified use, while the latter sent an envoy to inform,
Let them go to care on their own.
After exploring a series of totem engraving plans for trolls, elves, wind wolves, black saber-toothed beasts, etc., the department now has a complete set of totem engraving research plans for other flesh-and-blood races. Therefore, after several
After dissecting hundreds of living animals (their lives and health were preserved as much as possible during the process), he mastered the ability of diagonal hoof species to carve totems.
In this way, the two thousand tree-born elves from the two batches became one batch alone. Freya, Nesta and other four witch doctors who were the first to complete the elves transformation, and more than a dozen people who participated in the first phase of the experiment.
Warriors and war wizards, if you add them all up and do the calculation, you will know
The Republic, with a total population of nearly 70,000, now has nearly 3,000 elves.
The outer armor based on three-dimensional totem inscriptions has been strengthened and focused on protecting the 'inner body';
It gave up melee weapons, strengthened its vine binding ability, and obtained four 203mm face-piercing armor-piercing cannons.
"Are you ready?" He asked somewhere before actually pressing the button with his finger touching the activation pattern.
"Pause, wait for me to record it. No. 12·13 Artifact 1-3-5 Intersection Area. Such an operation is risky."
Tasks such as enemy detection and shooting coordination are left to the witch doctor. The operator only needs to adjust the shooting elements according to the instructions, and then complete the attack;
In this way, ordinary witch doctors in single digits can use their own brain power to complete this task;
Additionally, these gunships will become truly disposable, no longer having to dodge the expected volcanic salamander counterattacks;
"Yes!" The military representative stood up and accepted the order.
However, operators in those trees will face huge risks. The current population base of the Republic makes the top management somewhat reluctant to take risks;
In the small office, the relevant person in charge of the executive government and the relevant person in charge of the research institute, after explaining their respective reports, said this to the "seniors" across the table.
Thirdly, the ‘Shooting Zhuyuan Adjustment Office’ was established with the witch doctor personally in charge;
When attacking from the sea, it is necessary to consider the dispersed layout of artillery positions and the possible high-speed movement capabilities of the target itself;
When attacking from the road, the 'target' and 'artillery position' will move in both directions during the battle.
Because of this, the Volcano Salamander and the Republic, two races that live on different planes, finally reached "peace" and lived "stablely" in their respective regions.
This arrangement not only reduces the consumption of cave wolf cell fluid, but also allows the 'Armor Breaker Type 1' and 'Bombarder Type 1' to gain a higher rate of fire and the ability to attack while traveling.
"Okay, continue."
While all this was proceeding in an orderly manner, good news from other levels also came one after another.
First, Big Tusk has finally completed the will integration of its new implant, and has begun to use the "external neural organs" to carry out the second step, integrating the core of the "living armor";
Secondly, the construction of three orbital lines starting from the headquarters and reaching the volcanoes has been completed, and in addition, three circles of arc-shaped heavy-duty tracks facing the volcanoes, each with a length of 100 kilometers, have been built;
To be continued...
