Following the escalator all the way to the main gun deck at the bow of the ship, Soshyan's senses were quickly surrounded by various noises, heat mist and flickering sparks. In the midst of this busyness, he immediately saw the person holding the data.
Standing on a small bench, he was talking to the surrounding technical priests, Mikaniz, the head of the Forgeborn Machine Forger and one of the most outstanding engineering masters in the Great Thorian Alliance.
Hearing Soshiyang's voice, the engineering master wearing protective clothing and a gray windbreaker turned around, revealing an old but tough face, as well as a snow-white beard and hair tied into thin braids.
"Oh, you are here, Lord Soshyan."
As he spoke, he did not forget to take a deep puff of the pipe in his mouth. When the smoke rose upwards, it twisted into strange and meaningful shapes.
"The progress is pretty smooth, of course if the sales can be higher."
As if he heard something in the engineering master's words, Soshiyang smiled slightly and waved to the surrounding mechanical sages to go about their business. The engineering master also jumped down from his stool, smoking a cigarette and walking all the way to a relatively quiet place.
The place.
"Master Engineer Mikazny, did you encounter any trouble or problem?"
"Well...it can't be said to be a problem. Although I was mentally prepared before coming here, I have also cooperated with these mechanical priests in the past..."
The frowning old dwarf furnace man had a serious smile on his face, as if he was remembering some things in the past.
"Please don't get me wrong. I'm not belittling them. Many of my compatriots do believe that they are strange religious lunatics who have turned good science into messy rituals. But I can understand all this. After all, the human empire is in a more advanced stage.
In such a complex environment, the evil power of the Supreme Heaven is terrifying. I have seen things that are enough to make people crazy, and I can understand their fear. In fact, there is no distinction between high and low in academic thinking. The inspiration of He Yi comes from
The laws that exist in reality come from the wisdom of our ancestors, and the technical spirit of the mechanical priests comes from a deeper place in the soul. In fact, we have the same origin."
Then the engineering master patted the beard covering his broad chest, and there was an ancient rune covered under the white snow.
"It's just that their biggest problem is that they are too unfocused and cannot devote their attention and efforts to the things in front of them. When they perform a task, they always seem to be calculating other things. If this continues,
The current progress will be extended sooner or later."
The other party said it very tactfully, but Soshiyang still heard what the big engineer wanted to complain about——
The members of the Mechanicus of Ulanhuda who were involved in the manufacture of the main cannon always used their working time to do other things, and most likely they were spying on and stealing Hearthborn technology.
To the Adeptus Mechanicus, this was unremarkable, but to this master engineer, it was a form of laziness and dereliction of duty, and it also disrupted the work progress of the Hearthborn.
Maybe Bangura had already instructed the sages to deliberately delay the construction progress and use this construction opportunity to steal as much technical knowledge as possible from the Hearthborn.
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan responded:
"I will remind Director Bangura, and thank you very much for supervising this project so patiently. I know it is difficult."
"Haha, this job is interesting for an old beard like me. I haven't hosted such a big project for many years. I'm still eager to ignite my own creative fire."
"The fire of creation?"
"Yes, it's in our blood, in our bones, the pure need to make things is rooted in the Hearthborn's soul. Maybe it's a heavy job for you, but this is Hearthborn
In the inner world of life, we use everything at hand, metals, rocks and other things to shape things that others have never seen and surprise everyone. In fact, I personally have no prejudice against the Adeptus Mechanicus. Religious rituals may have their existence.
Necessary, but... what is more disappointing is that religious rituals do not bring them a simpler and pure heart like believers. In fact, I am often shocked by their terrible utilitarianism and selfishness.
It seems that everything they do is to climb up on the heads of their fellow humans until they fall."
Soshiyang was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"I deeply agree, but this is shaped by the overall environment of the entire empire and the thousands of years of tradition and bad habits of the Adeptus Mechanicus...there is nothing we can do about it."
Afterwards, Soshyan asked about the approximate completion time, and Mikazny told him that it would take at least three years to complete the installation of this enhanced version of the plasma destroyer according to the ideal schedule. This also has to take into account the transportation of the core components.
delay, and there were no unexpected incidents at the construction site.
Fortunately, Soshyan is not in a hurry to use this giant ship now, and is waiting patiently.
However, after installing this special plasma destroyer, the length of the Abyss-class ship will also change. The original main gun deck needs to be extended partially, which means that its bow will become longer, and the final hull length will be
Reaching a huge 31km!
You must know that the longest warship currently known to the Empire, the Ultramarines' flagship Macragge's Glory, is only about 26km. The Avista's hull length was measured in detail after it was recovered, and the length of the ship is only 23km.
, which means that this Abyss-class warship is likely to be the longest warship currently in the empire. Of course, this is partly due to its unique ship type. If calculated in terms of tonnage, it is actually about the same as the Avesta, that is,
The multiple is 5-7%.
Finally, after walking around for a while, Soshyan returned to the bridge.
This place currently only houses equipment and has no decoration at all. Many places are even under construction. It looks a bit messy, but the area is large and the design is very unique. It is not a regular theater-style structure in the empire, but a
The layered tower structure is one hundred meters high and is roughly divided into four floors. Each floor represents a different functional area. In the middle is a transparent elevator. The top floor is the captain's command center, where a huge panoramic screen will be built.
It can make the captain feel like he is in the universe out of thin air, and all kinds of combat data will also be gathered here.
But when he came here, Soshyan saw an unexpected person.
"Instructor Sol?"
Thor, who was wearing silver-gray armor, stood in front of the imaging device, looking at the slowly rotating Abyss-class ship structure. There was no special expression on his face, just a little curiosity.
After everyone around him went about his business, Soshyan walked over alone, came to Sol, and whispered:
"Already...finished talking?"
Sol raised his brows slightly and replied softly:
"Well, we're done talking."
"Then what are you going to do with him?"
"What if my opinion is a little hard for you to accept?"
Soshyan put his hands on the railing of the imager, thought for a few seconds, and said slowly:
