Vol 3 Chapter 712: Naive

N7703 star field, planet 4.
Chu Jungui stood in the office of the orbital station, and out of the porthole, a 300-meter-long starship could be seen in its embryonic form. Several engineers were driving the single-handed machinery, working together to build a huge engine. Drag it out of the packing box and place it in the starship under construction. On the other side of the rail station, a dozen or so similar engine packing boxes are stacked, and a transport ship has just docked at the berth and begins to move out one integrated packing box after another.
These are all engines ordered by Chu Jun, all of which are mature models. Therefore, the Federation has a large amount of inventory, and the order is immediately shipped. The first batch of goods arrived in the N7703 galaxy only two days later than Chu Jun's return.
These engines are all standard packages, and an integrated box is an engine unit, which can serve as the auxiliary engine and the main attitude engine of the destroyer. They are all standard interfaces and standard sizes, can be plugged in and installed, and can be used once they are installed in the space reserved for the starship. As for the main engine, it is replaced by 4 engine units in parallel.
The speed of building starships by assembling is extremely fast. After all, most of them are standard modules, as long as they are assembled together. Chu Jun's subordinates are all skilled engineers, and their requirements for assembly accuracy are slightly lower than normal. Therefore, with the investment of thousands of engineers at a time, the construction of a destroyer can be completed in only 90 days. Now Chu Jungui can build two destroyers or four frigates at the same time.
The assembled starship was newly designed by wise men with reference to the existing mature design drawings and the requirements of Chu Jungui. Adhering to the concept of meeting the design requirements at the lowest cost, it inherits the simple, crude, practical and cheap features of the lightyear starship. The speed is 4 times faster than the standard version of the starship, and the combat power is 5% lower than the standard version, but the cost is only a quarter of the standard version.
The wise men named the newly designed assembling starship as the mass production type 2, and added a suffix for the different levels. This naming also reflects the characteristics of how to save trouble, anyway, there are still many areas to be improved in the future.
The size of the mass-produced Type 2 destroyer is a bit larger than the standard version, mainly because the main structure is thicker and larger than normal. Therefore, in order to achieve the same mobility, more thrust is needed. The solution is also very simple, just add two more engines. In addition, the armor should be thicker, and the energy consumption of the main gun is an old problem. The final result is that the energy consumption of the entire ship is twice that of the standard version.
But for light years, energy consumption has never been a problem.
Chu Jungui walked out of the office and flew to the lower factory to take a look around. Here the engineers are busy in the housing units. Hundreds of square modules are stacked in the factory, prefabricated crew cabins ordered from the Federation. There is not much space in the cabin, but the design is very compact, with beds, desks, lighting, lockers, and even a set of entertainment facilities.
At this moment, the engineers are removing the entertainment facilities and extra cabinets, adding beds, and turning the single room directly into a 4-person room.
Under normal circumstances, the starship actually has enough space, and there is no need to squeeze the space of the crew. Dynasty is also known for the superior treatment of the crew, and the non-commissioned officers on the starship have cabins with their own bathrooms. But the light-year starship is different. Although the size is larger than the standard starship, the main gun, armor and structure require a lot of extra space. Especially the Alpha main gun requires a lot of energy storage equipment, and the battery compartment alone needs more space. three times. Coupled with the subject's own cognitive deficits, this has resulted in the current situation. However, the wise man still listened to the opinions of Wilson and other generals, and slightly improved the crew's living conditions.
After watching the rail factory for a while, Chu Jun returned to the office and looked at the personal terminal, but he still didn't receive the news from Sino. There has been no news since he sent a letter about looting.
The area where Sinoe is active is already outside the Federation, there should be no strong enemies, and the danger often comes from the same planet thief. So Jungui Chu didn’t worry much at first, but Sinoe’s hand was a starship produced in Light Years, and he could fight with Billinde back and forth. Normal star thief could run away even if he couldn’t fight. ?
Chu Jun Gui faintly worried, but it was useless to worry. Sino is not a kid anymore, the commander of the dignified Federal Star Fleet Major General, if he can't even be a star thief, it won't be saved.
Suddenly a message popped up on the screen in front of him, with the dynasty fleet's mark on the title. When Chu Jungui opened it, he looked very strange.
This is a notice of material requisition sent by the 4th Fleet. According to the law of war, the fleet will send personnel to Light Years to conduct field investigations and recruit war materials on the spot to supplement military supplies.
This notice itself seems to be no problem. Units above the Dynasty Legion have the right to temporarily requisition materials during wartime. The law of war also has detailed regulations on the requisition, including what types of materials can be requisitioned, how to calculate the price, and how to compensate afterwards. Generally speaking, the requisitioned materials are all urgently needed materials, and the price calculation is definitely lower than the market price~EbookFREE.me~ but generally it will also be above the cost, so the party being requisitioned will not suffer too much.
But the problem is that it is not wartime, and Lightyear does not belong to the dynasty in name. Li Ruobai was an independent organization registered in the dynasty. It was just a case that was registered by name and did not need to pay taxes.
Another problem is that the notice says that it will give 10 days to prepare, and it also comes with a countdown timer. However, the notice was issued 9 days ago, and now there is less than 20 hours left for Chu Jun to return. As for why a notice runs for 9 days on the road, there are too many reasons.
Lightyear is actually closely related to the 4th Fleet. Since the 4th Fleet changed its defenses, Lightyear has been providing energy and basic materials. It has supplied more than 300 battery compartments and thousands of tons of alloys. In terms of pure contribution, light years has surpassed a single planetary base.
So this sudden notice seems a little strange. After thinking about it, Jun Chu forwarded the notice to Li Ruobai and Li Xinyi. A moment later, a transport ship passed through the storm clouds and arrived at the orbital station, bringing the replies from Li Xinyi and Li Ruobai at the same time.
What the girl meant was that I heard that the new battle was about to begin. The N77 star field was likely to be the target of a federal raid again, and the 4th Fleet was mediocre. Now I must do everything possible to increase its strength. She thinks that there is no big problem with the material collection, as long as you don't go too far, anyway, the dynasty will compensate after the war and will not lose money.
But Li Ruobai's view is completely opposite. He thinks that this enlistment is very weird. Even if the original intention of the 4th Fleet is good, it cannot be ruled out that the possibility of nonsense from below can not be ruled out. Before figuring out the other party's true intentions, you must never let the other party investigate wanton.
Seeing the two replies, Chu Jungui had roughly a decision. It seemed that the technical girl was still somewhat naive.
