Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 430 Naval Development
Tokaido, Linhai County, Qinghe Kingdom's first shipyard.

After nearly ten years of development, the No. [-] Shipyard has developed from a barren land into the largest shipyard in Qinghe Kingdom.

The entire shipyard covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, with ten [-]-ton docks, ten [-]-ton docks and three [-]-ton docks.

At the same time, there are hundreds of master-level craftsmen, five master-level craftsmen, thousands of senior technical personnel under them, plus more than 1 apprentices and junior skilled workers, which constitute the huge scale of the entire shipyard.

Up to now, the No. [-] Shipyard has removed hundreds of tons of gunboats and warships with a displacement of [-] tons. A few years ago, a warship with a displacement of more than [-] tons was produced and tested. Now it has Five ships were produced, temporarily becoming the new generation of main battleships of the Qinghe Kingdom.

Now, as the technology of the shipyard matures, more technologies are developed, and the main battleship of the new generation of Qinghe Kingdom is produced.

In addition, in this shipyard, a series of shipbuilding technologies such as transport ships, aircraft carriers, and submarines are still being overcome.

It's just because Qinghe Kingdom started everything from scratch, and there is no reference, so now it can only be a little bit of research and development, which may require more investment and a lot of time.

However, Qinghe Kingdom has now developed to its current scale, with a complete talent training system, a large population, complete technology patent rights, and technology transformation can also allow these technology developers and teams to have enough income to ensure that these R&D personnel have sufficient research. power.

For example, in the Qinghe Kingdom, there are as many as [-] various research institutes related to ships.

Moreover, the development of the first shipyard has also led to the development of the entire Linhai County, and even the development of Tokaido. Various parts factories, small assembly plants, warship artillery, radar, shells, machine guns, etc. manufacturing plants have made the entire Tokaido become The Qinghe Kingdom's most important shipbuilding industry base.

Coupled with the now-developed Ocean University, as well as the spin-off University of Shipbuilding Industry, Naval University, and other professional universities, Tokaido has come from behind and become a developed area second only to Chuo-do.

Walking into the shipyard and walking on the flat concrete avenue, you can see dry docks along the way. Various steel behemoths lie in these docks and become perfect little by little.

Those moving workers are busy on the ship, just like ants building a nest.

While walking, the director of the shipyard who led Di Feng introduced the situation of the No. [-] shipyard to Di Feng.

"Your Majesty, what you see now is a transport ship with a displacement of [-] tons under construction.

According to the books in the library, we have unified the container data and formulated relevant rules and regulations and evaluation standards.

Therefore, we can build corresponding ships according to the transportation of these materials. For example, the current one is an offshore transport ship.

This ship, if launched, can carry [-] tons of supplies at one time.In this way, from the coastal county to the newly developed mountain and sea port, a lot of land transportation time can be reduced, and the consumption is more efficient than the rune train. "

Shanhai Port, the newly established port of Qinghe Kingdom.

In Tokaido, with the development of the first shipyard, in these years, because Tokaido is the only road close to the ocean in the Qinghe Kingdom, a group of workers and master craftsmen were subsequently separated from the first shipyard to establish the No. [-] shipyard of the Qinghe Kingdom. The second shipyard, and the third shipyard.

At the same time, Tokaido established five commercial ports and two military ports in suitable areas in each county.

Later on Chiwu Road, with the expansion of the Mountain Legion to the east, some monsters in the eastern mountain region were wiped out, and a batch of new territories were opened up for the Qinghe Kingdom.

Then, during the development process, the Mountain Legion discovered an excellent port located in a mountainous area, with an interior of [-] square kilometers and a flat and open terrain around it, but there were hills at the entrance of the port to block the sea breeze.

In the entire northern mountain region, the area occupied by the Qinghe Kingdom at this time is actually only more than 1000 kilometers long, while the entire mountain region is actually more than 2000 kilometers long.

However, in the mountain area to the east of Quanjun County, it is actually facing the sea in the south, so it is only necessary to open up the mountainous area of ​​[-] kilometers and build a road, and then the materials from the Tokaido can be transported to the south coast by sea, and then sent to the The land behind the mountains.

This kind of speed and distance is more convenient than transporting by land, and at the same time, there is an additional material transportation route.

Over the years, with the development of the Qinghe Kingdom, although the Qinghe Kingdom's current level and fleet strength are unable to do ocean-going operations, there is no problem in offshore operations.

With the uninterrupted patrols and cleanups of the offshore defense fleets, the mermaids in the coastal areas were cleaned up.

In order to deal with those murlocs, the Qinghe Kingdom Shipyard also specially developed targeted detection methods and targeted weapons to clean up the entire coastal area.

On the sea, trade from that sea naval power has become more and more frequent as time goes by.Although the Qinghe Kingdom is not expanding abroad at this time, it does not have any ocean-going fleet.

But through this naval force, I also learned a lot about the situation in the eastern sea.

According to the description of the eastern naval forces, the eastern ocean has been merged with land masses one after another, and a large number of islands have appeared, as well as fog forces.

The ocean must also be vast, and the range of thousands of kilometers is the ocean. The pirate forces have already left the original island and entered the depths of the ocean to conquer.

The navy itself has a population of one million, and it still has a certain order, so it cannot be relocated, but it trades with the Qinghe Kingdom.

Some marine resources, especially deep-sea fishing, provided the Qinghe Kingdom with fish resources, and through the sale of these materials, the naval forces used them to purchase some bolt-action rifles and bullets inspired by gunpowder.

As well as various alloy cold weapons, and under the ally relationship, the Qinghe Kingdom allows the sale of a batch of food to the naval forces every year.

However, the Qinghe Kingdom does not want to develop overseas, just because the Qinghe Kingdom needs internal stability, and has no motivation to expand, and does not have enough warships.

But this day will come sooner or later, so we must prepare early.The continuous upgrading of shipbuilding technology from the first shipyard has led to the birth of a new generation of warships in the Qinghe Kingdom.

Following the leadership of the factory manager, in a water-filled dock, a silver-white warship floated quietly on the water.

At first glance, this warship is unusually clean and tidy, with sharp edges and corners, and it looks like an exquisite work of art.

In front of the battleship, a continuous-firing cannon and its associated radar replaced the large-caliber main gun, allowing the main gun, which had to be reloaded by humans, to fire twenty rounds in one minute.

Achieve the firepower advantage that the original three-pack can't do.Moreover, the cooperation of the radar also makes the hit rate of the main gun higher, but because the electronic components in the Qinghe Kingdom have not yet made a major breakthrough, the computer has not yet been manufactured.

But if the electronic technology is improved in the future, then the various weapons of the Qinghe Kingdom can continue to break through and become more powerful.

"Your Majesty, this ship is the latest third-generation warship developed by our first shipyard.

This battleship replaced the dual-mounted main guns originally installed on the second-generation capital ship with continuous-fire radar artillery, which improved the hit rate, and the rate of fire of one main gun can reach that of the original two dual-mounted guns. Fire strikes from mounted artillery.

Because of this, we no longer need to equip more artillery, and can free up more deck space to install other equipment.

The third-generation main battleship, with a displacement of [-] tons, is equipped with three radar cannons, six close-in anti-aircraft guns, a twelve-barrel rocket launcher, four torpedo launchers, and a helicopter platform.

In addition, the interior of the battleship has been simplified, and the volume of the warehouse has been expanded, so that the battleship can carry more ammunition and supplies. "

"very good."

Looking at this giant steel beast tens of meters high and more than 100 meters long, and listening to the director's introduction to the data of this warship, Di Feng felt very satisfied.

"After launching, all the troops will hurry up to carry out the sailing test and weapon test, and try to complete it this morning. After confirming that there is no problem with this warship, the Lord's Mansion and the General Administration Office will place a batch of production orders for the main battleship."

"Yes."

At this time, for the factory manager, there is no better thing for his own achievements to be approved by His Majesty the King.

Seeing Di Feng agreeing, the factory manager said excitedly.

"We must follow His Majesty's instructions to complete the ship's test mission as soon as possible and provide the kingdom with more warships."

Afterwards, Di Feng visited the supply ships, landing ships, and other ships being developed by the First Shipyard.Because the shipbuilding of the Qinghe Kingdom started from nothing.

The various ships are only based on combat simulations and books obtained from other worlds, but because there are only names, there are not many details, and various technologies require a little breakthrough.

The construction speed of these warships is not fast, and Qinghe Kingdom is still lacking in personnel training. For this reason, Di Feng has no good solution, knowing that this is something that cannot be rushed, and can only wait for development step by step.

After all, the entire Qinghe Kingdom is also a big banner, not only shipbuilding, but also various fighter planes of the Air Force, and various mechanized equipment of the Army require talents.

Moreover, the armed forces of the sea, land and air forces have now expanded to more than 300 million, and the scale of troops developing towards 400 million is also a huge expenditure.

At the same time, there are various infrastructure constructions in the entire Qinghe Kingdom, and various investments in basic education, childbirth, agriculture, medical care, etc., which basically make the Qinghe Kingdom's annual budget more and more full. How much money to pay.

"Then take your time."

When Di Feng left the No. [-] Shipbuilding Factory, he sighed in his heart.

"Anyway, I still have a few hundred years, and my lifespan will be further improved soon. I can afford to wait for a few years or ten years."

With the rest of the troops in various regions, the General Administration Office is governing the regions, and the field armies, on the one hand, are supplementing and reducing their personnel, and at the same time, they are stationing and building defense lines for their respective borders.

Moreover, as the border defense regiments formed one after another entered the borders of various regions, the field regiments became much easier, and a new round of army preparations began.

According to the new plan, in the newly occupied area, thousands of ninja troops are scattered and stationed, secretly monitoring each area carefully.

At the same time, the No.13 Belief Legion is stationed in Southwest Road, the Snake Bone Legion is stationed in Longhu Road, and the Martial Arts Legion is stationed in Qingyuan Road. Together with the Guardian Legion, fifty frontier regiments are stationed on the western border of the newly occupied area, and the Mountain Legion is assigned Twenty border regiments are stationed in the northern mountains.

The Detachment of Women's Army teamed up with [-] frontier defense regiments are in charge of the forest area in the south of Longhu Road, which borders the ape tribe area in the forest.Now there is no direct conflict between the two sides, the apes have not gone out of the forest for the time being, and the Qinghe Kingdom is not planning to provoke the apes, just building a tight line of defense.

Build a large number of forts on the border, and connect them with minefields, trenches, barbed wire, and various roads to form a tight line of defense to ensure the internal security of the territory.

Because of this, the deployment of the First Wolf Totem Legion, and the withdrawal of the Knight Legion to Qinghe City, continue to perform the task of guarding. back.

The establishment of each legion has not yet been responsible for the current combat needs, and each legion has an establishment of [-] to [-] combat personnel, which is not suitable for continued expansion.

Therefore, for the existing three cavalry legions, each continues to expand by 1 people.At the same time, in view of the insufficient number of combat legions, the Lord's Mansion formed a garrison force.

This garrison force is equivalent to a normal combat force, but it does not have a legion number.Moreover, the largest combat unit is the regiment, with a staff of 2000.

Configure general light tanks, light armored vehicles, and infantry artillery as combat support units.

Now, with the expansion of the Qinghe Kingdom, the navy already has a force of 20, and the air force has a force of 15. In addition to the 110 million-strong establishment of the 200 field legions, there are also guards in various regions. Troops, the original border defense regiment and the newly formed [-] border defense regiments, the size of these local troops has expanded to [-] million.

At present, the total population of the Qinghe Kingdom has just exceeded 5000 million. If 500 million combat troops are formed on a regular basis, the ratio of soldiers to civilians will reach ten to one. The pressure on logistics supplies and daily consumption is huge, and it is not conducive to local construction. develop.

Therefore, Di Feng decided to expand all combat troops to about 400 million. Among them, the navy increased by 2000, the air force increased by 20, and then formed a support garrison, a total of [-] regiments, each regiment [-] people, a total of [-] people are guaranteed to be dispatched as soon as possible in case of emergency in various regions.

As for this strategic support force, Di Feng decided to deploy fifty regiments with 10 people outside Qinghe City after handing it over to the Lord's Mansion Staff Department and Logistics Department for discussion.

At the same time, in the west of the Grass Country in the newly occupied area, choose a newly established county to build a large military camp with 10 people stationed there.

And when this batch of new recruits is recruited, the total military strength of the entire Qinghe Kingdom will break through to 400 million, of which more than 100 million local guard troops can guarantee their own self-sufficiency and store a batch of supplies, which can be regarded as reducing the military strength of the kingdom. pressure.
