Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

After several discussions and subsequent feasibility studies.

Basically, after delineating a rough range in terms of 'tonnage', 'volume', 'scale' and 'level'.

It is equivalent to pulling up the isolation line and leveling the ground.

The next thing that needs to be done is to dig the foundation and erect the high-rise building on this piece of ground.

In these two steps, it is natural to 'dig the foundation' first.

That is...

First determine what type of ship will be the main force of the fleet in the future.

This is a thinking problem:

——Is it a big ship, huge cannon, or water strike?

——Or aircraft carriers and mobile combat?

or...

Only children do multiple-choice questions, but adults know that they "want them all"?

"I want it all, of course I want it all,"

Su Wen said very firmly, almost without thinking,

"There is no way out these days to build a single ship type. We want to build a comprehensive main fleet. How can we do it without a mixed fleet?"

Well, obviously he had already thought about it.

But that's not bad.

Ordinary civilizations tend to choose between 'developing gunboats alone' and 'developing aircraft carriers alone'.

That's because their capabilities are limited.

——'Only children want it all, but adults know they can't stand it'.

Aircraft carriers and battleships are not only very different in weapon configuration, but also in hull structure.

In this case, both sides have become separate technological routes.

And there is more than one technology line.

To engage in aircraft carrier maneuver operations, you have to develop "carrier-based aircraft related subsystems", "flight deck and supporting facilities", and "carrier-based flight wing command system"... and so on;

On the other hand, if you are playing with big ships and big guns, then no matter what,

Things like 'large-caliber main gun', 'heavy armored belt', 'observation and range-finding equipment', 'gunnery command system' and the like, must be well matched, right?

It’s not that there is no interoperability between the two, but it’s really very few.

In most cases, separate research is required, resulting in a double investment.

This is something many civilizations cannot afford.

Not to mention that after the research and development of supporting technologies is completed, it will go from feasibility experiments to actual application and production.

During this period, there was another bottomless pit for swallowing gold.

A large number of R&D projects cannot always be smooth sailing.

In addition, many professionals are needed to take the lead, and if there are any obstacles or difficulties during this period, it may turn into a 'line conflict' or even a 'political struggle'...

Don't think that there won't be infighting between people on such a vital matter as national defense technology.

In fact, the more deadly the field, the more fierce the fight!

Just look at the series of shitty things that happened during the early founding of a country before Su Wen traveled through time, and you will know how deep the water is here.

Wherever there are differences in line and will affect the distribution of personnel and financial rights.

Those are undoubtedly the hardest hit areas for political struggles.

Therefore, many civilizations are stumbling and hopeless:

——It’s not that they don’t know that a two-pronged approach is most effective. The problem is that with a civilized system and the power of the government, it may not be able to implement it steadily!

This is also the root cause of the saying 'if you want it all, you can't stand it'.

...fortunately.

They couldn't bear it, but Su Wen could.

After all, there aren't that many shitty things in his empire.

Moreover, in terms of technological tree foundation and scientific research capabilities alone, the Suzheng Empire has great advantages in this regard.

not to mention.

The preliminary research done by the fellow on the 'mental Rubik's Cube-derived ship equipment technology' itself covered the two fields of 'gunboats' and 'aircraft carriers'.

Su Wen naturally followed the good advice and took advantage of the situation and grabbed it with both hands.

..

As an obvious big-ship cannonist.

The first thing Su Wen identified was naturally the battleship.

As mentioned before, in the new shipbuilding plan, in order to meet the needs of elite leader ships and mass-produced ships, two battleship designs were launched in one go.

The two designs have huge differences in requirements, so there are certain differences in the requirements indicators and specific design blueprints.

However, due to the modular design of the hull, from the perspective of 'hull structure' alone, the two sides still have enough in common to prevent them from going too far:

The hull structure is the largest part, but it is also the part with the lowest direct impact on combat.

The two battleships are designed to meet two different needs, but there are gaps in weapons, armor, power systems, energy networks, etc. The hull structure itself can be modularized and used universally to greatly reduce unnecessary workload.

For this reason, the tonnage of both sides is basically the same.

One weighs fifty-five thousand tons, while the other weighs slightly less, only fifty-one thousand tons.

Among them, the 55,000-ton class is the 'prestige' class that corresponds to the needs of elite leader ships.

——In the "tentative plan on the naming standards for naval ship classes" determined by the cabinet meeting, a new standard was proposed,

In the future, the ships that need to carry mental humanoids will be named according to the class name of the imperial mental humanoid prototype ship type;

The specific name is selected from all prototypes, but it must meet the corresponding level, that is, the new battleship is also named after the name of the battleship level among the mental humanoid prototypes;

As for the mass-produced ships in the 'tentative plan',

Or for some relatively special ship classes, it is considered that they can be named separately.

It is not necessary to stick to the old name of the mental prototype ship - this is also to distinguish the two and make it easier to distinguish.

...certainly.

There may also be duplicate names.

But in principle.

At least that's the case for now.

There is a high probability that the phenomenon of repetition will not occur so quickly.

In short.

Based on the above-mentioned 'naming standard tentative plan'.

In the new round of 'Q4 Shipbuilding Plan for ', two regular battleship designs are proposed.

They are named 'prestige' level and 'offensive' level respectively.

..

As the 'Prestige' class, the leader of the battle elite, it was decided from the beginning of the design to use the 'Mind Cube-derived technology' that the empire has mastered or is about to master as much as possible.

The design requirements of the elite leader ship itself are to ignore the cost and processing difficulty.

As much as possible, use the most cutting-edge technologies in the empire to pile up its performance.

...after all.

To put it bluntly.

Its construction volume will be very low.

Each elite leader ship must be equipped with a mental humanoid.

Below it are a large number of mass-produced ships of various levels, forming a squadron, or a battle group.

This kind of thinking led to it from the beginning.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for Su Wen to treat the elite leader ship as the main force of the fleet:

In terms of combat effectiveness, they are indeed the main force, but in terms of quantity, they are naturally inferior.

The build volume of this thing...that's in the single digits.

At least for now, in the shipbuilding plan for the fourth quarter of 2023, the targets they have proposed are indeed only single digits.

"Five ships,"

At the regular cabinet meeting, Su Wen happily raised his hand and said,

"Only five ships. There won't be enough money for more."

Everyone praised him for his kindness and deeply believed in it.

——Nothing else, purely because the 'prestige' level is too expensive.

In terms of armor...

t6 fantasy embodiment armor (mental network interference mode);

'Dream material' is the key to the 'Mind Cube-derived technology' used on elite ships.

Moreover, this technology itself is also the one that the Empire has the deepest control among so many derived technologies.

There is relatively a lot of information on it, and Su Wen has also personally fought with it, and has "actual combat experience" that other technologies do not have.

These data were originally recorded in his obsolete 'Rambler' mecha.

When it was later proposed for reference, it greatly accelerated the scientific research department's digestion of these technologies.

...no doubt.

Since it is the technology with the deepest mastery, when it comes to application, it is natural not to think about it.

after all.

Su Wen couldn't be so exaggerated as to hang high-condensed solid light panels directly on the hull...

That would be really funny.

Of course, thanks to the acquisition of the Selection Life Ark, the Scientific Research Department did make some improvements.

This is the so-called 'mind network interference mode':

The 'infinite refresh' effect of the 'dream materialization' material itself is controlled by the onboard computing device.

Therefore, as early as when I first bought it,

Helena and others have considered upgrading the tachyon computer originally responsible for main control based on the mind cube or artificial intelligence core.

to achieve better results.

Now, just as the 'mind network' technology has begun to be explored, we have come across a good time when hard light materials can be used.

It can't be said to be better.

So we decisively replaced the fixed tachyon computer and replaced it with a direct connection to the mental Rubik's Cube through a discrete hard-optical data network.

Through the 'local mental network', the armor can be equipped with a mental Rubik's Cube.

Or to be more specific, it is controlled by the mental humanoid itself.

Greatly improve the performance of 'Dream Realization Effect'.

Due to this improvement, it is equivalent to deriving the mental Rubik's Cube in the technical field at the same time.

The two lines of 'imagination materialization' and 'mental network' are both intersected and inserted into a single technology at the same time.

Achieved combined application.

Therefore, the Scientific Research Department specially added such a mark.
