Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

In his vision, the ship should have at least 12 running gears, a length of 400 meters, a reduced width, and a correspondingly reduced height. It should also have a gun deck (the same structure as Rhodes Island) on each running gear, with large anti-ship weapons such as Aura Cannons mounted on the main deck, and a large number of rapid-fire ballistae and small and medium-sized anti-armor and anti-boarding weapons mounted on the sides.

For those who board the ship, unable to directly reach the main deck, they can only jump onto the secondary deck, where they'll be shot down from above. This is consistent with the design philosophy of the Great Yan Dynasty; who the hell wants to engage in close combat with you? Even if someone boards the ship, shooting them down is the first priority.

Moreover, due to the relatively wide secondary deck and the drop of the main deck, it is normal for them to resupply and dock with other small warships, or to drive out a few tanks from the warehouse to block unlucky guys like Ursus who like to board ships when necessary.

Imagine an assault soldier armed only with a jetpack and a scimitar, leaping across the distance between two ships, unable to land directly on the top deck of the other ship's U-shaped structure, but instead landing on the secondary decks on either side, connected by decks laid on top of the walking mechanism.

Then you think it's a few warlocks and snipers attacking you from the high ground? It's the gate that opens, two Stone Bull-class light anti-infantry fighting vehicles drive out, instantly making up for your lost childhood, and then retreating back into the armored wall to continue blocking and beating you with their secondary guns.

As for why the Great Yan is so keen on boarding operations, that question has to be asked of the demons and sea creatures. They are best at climbing onto the sides of warships and releasing a large number of sub-units to fight. The demons even use their tentacles to entangle the walking structures, making the warship unable to move.

Normally, at this time, the Great Yan Fleet would be constructed in the form of a fleet city, becoming a fortress that rises in layers to prevent the invasion of evil spirits, and the evil spirits would have to pay a huge price for every step they took forward.

The land-based ship sketch provided by Kazdel was completely different. Not only was its running gear directly exposed, making it vulnerable to enemy fire, but it also lacked sufficient rapid-fire and anti-ship firepower.

Even though they claimed to be equipped with drones, the old man was not optimistic about the drones' anti-armor capabilities.

Of course, the doctor and Lao Xia were not optimistic either, since they really didn't expect those drones to be effective against armor. The anti-armor weapons were the more than 30 twin-mounted thermobaric guns installed on the sides, and the anti-ship weapons relied on missiles.

"Ideally, we should design another land-based vessel specifically for take-off and landing of drones and air force units."

"Isn't that a cargo ship?" Terra's logistics industry is quite developed, with a large number of cargo drones carrying cargo boxes to exchange small supplies between cities and between cities and fleets.

"It's a bit more complicated than a cargo ship; the specific requirements include these..."

"Isn't the armor too thin?"

"No armor, just to reduce weight." "Are you trying to make a walking metal box? You can't even be bothered to put together a decent metal shell?"

"If this kind of land-based aircraft carrier is discovered, it's doomed. What's the point of having armor?"

"But it doesn't even have weapons. If it doesn't even have armor, why don't you buy two cargo ships to modify it?"

"Because there aren't enough cargo ships, and the extent of modification is not as good as building new ones..."

"Also, the pods for your electromagnetic crossbows are too small; they won't fit..."

"It can fit!" The meeting then entered into a formal discussion, or rather, an argument.

Sometimes we argue until we're red in the face, and sometimes we frown and rack our brains for a solution, but most of the time we're just discussing and researching what to do and what to do.

However, the underlying strategy is the same: focusing on long-range and high-power precision attacks, rather than the fleet combat strategies commonly used in Terra. In other words, it does not consider the functions of a mobile base, a front-line supply depot, or a small production and supply factory. Therefore, it does not need high protection and, unlike surface warships, it will not sink.

In a fight, the goal is to eliminate the enemy as far away as possible, rather than engaging in a chaotic exchange of kinetic energy projectiles and ending the afternoon unscathed.

Instead, the goal is to be able to take down others in one round, but to defeat others in one round. Land-based ships are different from sea ships; being knocked down is far from being rendered combat ineffective.

However, if it is melted by a large-scale molten metal missile, it will be completely rendered combat ineffective. Even if the ship is not destroyed, the people inside will be roasted to death.

After months of debate, a preliminary design drawing was produced, and the next step was to begin the formal technical verification and subsystem design process.

If all goes well, it should be able to enter the manufacturing phase in a year at most, and enter service two years later, just in time for the final battles of the World War, thus making up for the fact that Kazdel's offensive capabilities are far weaker than its defensive capabilities.

Chapter 54 The Dematerializer of the Leitanian Fleet

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After several months of trial production, the furnace and foundry are now ready for formal use. "Pour the materials!"

The processed ore powder is poured into the feed inlet. The complex smelting matrix, constructed by multiple sorcerers and multiple wet components, is used to simulate the capacity of the year. However, it can only achieve about 70% of the effect, so it is only used for commonly used materials with low production requirements.

As for the special alloys used in key components, they still need to be smelted in-house every year.

However, even so, it was something that left the workers hired by Da Yan speechless. "Add fuel! Heat to the maximum reaction temperature!" The four Originium fuel rods slowly sank into the reactor and were sent into various wet components through blood vessel-like pipes. They were absorbed by the artificial nervous system and converted into an Originium spell effect field.

The resulting dendritic crystals are intercepted by the SEI membrane and discharged along with the completely discarded hardened cell material (Ore disease crystals) through the waste outlet. Workers wearing masks use shovels and rakes to hook these things out and put them into yellow bins marked "Biocontaminated Waste".

These yellow bins will be loaded onto trucks and transported to the nearest waste treatment plant. After undergoing complex microbial and physicochemical reactions and being rendered harmless through burial, and then processed by time and geothermal energy, they will become new source soil after several years.

At ultra-high temperatures, the heteroferrite component in D32 steel gradually precipitates out and is replaced by RAM material added to it. As more Originium crystal powder is added, its loose and porous parts are gradually filled with low-energy Originium components.

The Originium particles are linked together with their constituent molecules, forming a structure similar to an energy storage tank.

Ultimately, a piece of synthetic dragon steel was obtained, possessing extremely strong high-temperature resistance and good metallic strength. It also has a certain degree of magic resistance.

Unlike the golden-red liquid of conventional steel when it comes out of the furnace, the molten steel of Longgang Steel has a strange bluish-white color. The incandescent temperature envelops the entire foundry in a layer of high temperature. The molten steel is poured into the mold of synthetic alumina sand, cast into preliminary Longgang Steel components, and then sent into the annealing furnace for slow annealing and cooling, waiting for the surface to form a rust-red surface that resembles the color of synthetic alumina.

After processing, the cold forging hammer in the forging workshop was put into use. Eight sets of hydraulic systems lifted the heavy forging hammer, and the repulsive field created by Angelina's wet parts entered the energy storage state, putting the 150,000-ton forging press into the power storage and ready state. The moment the first piece of Longgang material that had completed heat treatment was sent to the forging hammer, the heavy forging hammer was pushed down heavily by the repulsive field.

"Bang!" The sound of metal colliding was painful to the ears, even after multiple sound-absorbing treatments. The sturdy steel was gradually shaped into a disc-shaped part.

Each drop of the forging hammer seemed to shake the entire factory. Metal was no more solid than clay in the face of such force, and was easily squeezed, stretched, twisted, and molded.

After subsequent processing and anti-acid and anti-rust treatment, the dark blue-black giant road wheels were slowly dragged out of the workshop by a crane and piled outside, awaiting the stress release process.

The sounds of impact and the sharp whistling of the pressure relief valve gradually intensified. The monster, which had been lying dormant for decades, slowly began to awaken, exhaling flames and inhaling rocks. Its complex and magnificent heart began to beat, gradually increasing in strength and speed.

The supporting factories of Da Yan that received the orders finally put their last worry at ease. They hadn't received so many orders in a long time. Kazdel's industrial scale was still incomparable to that of an old empire like Da Yan. After the latter released the bidding requirements, it found dozens of supporting factories in a short period of time, while Kazdel would probably have to rob Peter to pay Paul.

The first keel was laid on the slipway, and the tower cutter cut the delivered plates and wires. The wet welding equipment and the Covenant's welding equipment worked together to gradually weld them into shape. This was not a warship, but an old-fashioned cargo ship that was not very advanced, designed to familiarize the workers with the process of building large ships.

It might not even be as advanced as the large ships of the gentry families in the Great Yan who were involved in smuggling. It was just the largest class of transport ships that the Great Yan government allowed the private sector to build. It was mainly used for transporting ores and sand, and also for some other transportation purposes. After being modified and equipped with anti-magic resistance equipment, it could also be used to transport ultra-pure Originium Ingots.

Old Xia has almost all the dismantled equipment here. Since the honeycomb is scrapped, there is no need to keep the machine tools at all levels of the entire production line on it. Instead, they can be dismantled and used for other purposes.

For these cutting and milling machines that routinely process Alliance superalloy materials, processing steel is as simple as turning wood with a modern CNC machine tool.

The moment the super-heavy island alloy cutting head touched the metal blank, it didn't even make a sound. The reinforced steel that the old man was worried about, which might break the blade, disappeared without a trace. The built-in quantum numerical control board and the precise electromagnetic force field suspension frame were stable without the slightest tremor. The entire cutting tool was suspended in this precisely controlled force field frame, which could minimize the loss of precision caused by mechanical structure and physical friction and collision.

At the same time, there is no issue with the axis, so this thing can process the target blank at any angle and in any posture.

Otherwise, no master craftsman could possibly mold all those oddly shaped curved parts for Lao Xia's arc jet engine.

Heat sinks, pressurized pipes, complex transmission components, and gear sets with strength so high that they only exist under ideal conditions were gradually transformed from piles of ore into physical objects.

Especially that gear set and fastener set, the parameters were proposed by the old man according to the most ideal requirements, and we never expected that the metallurgical workshop would actually produce it for us.

The old man was immediately worried that the blank made by Agor's alloy technology might break on the spot.

As a result, Lao Xia's machine tool steadily held up the materials and easily shaped the Argonautical alloy into the desired form.

Although cutting processes are extremely wasteful of material in every sense, they also have the advantages of minimal strength loss and high performance recovery.

If we disregard cost and simply want to test our heavy industrial capabilities to the maximum extent possible, there's no problem. Using other processes would require too high a level of skill from the workers.

"This thing just doesn't need any human intervention?" The old man, wearing a safety helmet, watched in disbelief as the blades suspended in the force field slid, rotated, moved forward and backward according to certain rules, and automatically changed different blades and heads, as if no workers needed to intervene at all.

His biggest question was where Kazdel would find so many qualified heavy industry workers. Even if ordinary young workers could be trained, the production of such high-precision machine parts could not be accomplished by those young workers; it would require professional master craftsmen to oversee the process.

"Does this thing really need someone to watch over it?" Old Xia was also dumbfounded. "Wouldn't we be worked to death?"

He was already surprised that such a large-scale industrial zone would require over 100,000 workers.

It's unimaginable if these automated CNC machine tools still needed workers to supervise them.

In his mind, an industrial facility of this size would only need one supervisor, two maintenance engineers, one process engineer, and one assistant, totaling five people.

Considering Terra's level, having three or four thousand people would have been considered extremely inefficient. However, the expert team hired by the group and the calculations by Little Tiger showed that at least 12 workers needed to be recruited, not even counting cleaners and miscellaneous errand staff.

Moreover, this is largely due to the fact that most of the spare parts that do not need to be produced by themselves are outsourced to Dayan's supporting factories.

They produced the entire industrial chain themselves. Even if they poured all the young workers in Kazdel into it, and then conscripted all the able-bodied men from the surrounding cities of Da Yan, they still might not be able to gather enough. Kal'tsit was amazed for a long time, saying that this was the foundation of an old, thousand-year-old empire.

"Fortunately, it's much better than I expected..." Old Xia was worried that such high-intensity production might damage the non-renewable cutting tools, since these things can't be replaced once they're worn out.

As it turned out, just like shaving wood, the wear was negligible, almost a non-destructive process. The only loss was the rapid consumption of cutting fluid. Fortunately, through technical breakthroughs, a substitute for this low-strength material was finally developed.

On the slipway, the metal structure was growing slowly but steadily, several engineering engineers stood intently at the control panel, and welding drones flew back and forth on the frame.

While the main shaft, engine box, and travel transmission system were being manufactured in sections, they were also being installed simultaneously. This highly challenging synchronous production process was a real headache for the Kazdel people, who were working on large shipbuilding for the first time.

Even with strict regulations and safety rules, accidents continue to occur. In fact, if it weren't for the high quality of spare parts, the accident rate would be several times higher.

The crowd and drones were like ants swarming around the bones of a metal behemoth, like a rewind of the metal behemoth's decaying process. The skeleton gradually took shape, the steel flesh grew firmly from the bottom up, and the shimmering silver blood vessels intertwined within its body. The crowd seemed to become the behemoth's blood flowing through every vein.

When the deck is closed, the ship is almost halfway complete. The next steps are the installation of external equipment, superstructures and various electronic control devices, as well as more complex testing procedures.

The construction process is a test of one's industrial capabilities, as well as a process of modifying another warship that has not yet passed design verification.

Finally, after about a year of delays, the design passed verification and entered the construction process for the first ship, or experimental ship. It is 640 meters long, 42 meters wide, and equipped with four high-precision Originium railguns at its four corners.

It has four external drone bays, a fully open deck that can launch future large aircraft, and neatly arranged cruise missile launch systems fore and aft of the island superstructure. Its complex electronic and measurement systems are unlike anything the old man has ever seen before.

Normal land-based ships do not have such complex measurement and fire control systems, and their artillery systems are extremely complex.

Since it was an experimental ship, the doctor and Lao Xia crammed in every technology they could find.

Like that Sky Throne, whether it's practical or not is not important; what's important is verifying which of these technologies are suitable.

Once the experimental ship has cleared the mines, the four super-large shipyards can then begin simultaneously constructing eight warships. They don't plan to build the largest monster ship in the Great Yan Dynasty yet.

Such a massive construction demand required an even greater supply of minerals, raw materials, and parts, all of which the Great Yan could provide. Gradually, the surrounding towns, just like before, became appendages of the shipyard, and almost everyone on the streets served the shipyard, either directly or indirectly.

Trucks and transport boats carrying heavy metal components or ore rumbled across the wilderness outside the town. The long-term, heavy trampling by these land-based vessels had carved out a hard, rammed-earth road for the locals.

The continuous supply of food, consumer goods, and procurement orders also led to economic development. Many elderly people even felt as if they had returned to the era when the Great Yan people raised their banners and charged into the northern demonic ice plains.

"There's no need to send such memorials to me in the future..." The emperor disdainfully tossed aside a stack of joint memorials from local officials. Don't think he didn't know that these people had only spoken out because they had received bribes from Victoria, and also because they wanted to reap the benefits after seeing the shipyards built by those foreigners.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Treasury has finally received some silver, and these poor scoundrels are starting to look down on us." The eunuch beside him seized the opportunity to sow discord among the Qingliu faction.

"So, those foreigners were really just doing normal business?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, they are building ships on a large scale. It seems they are preparing for a major war with Naletania. They don't have the capacity to build them themselves, so they have to rely on our Great Yan."

These words made the emperor frown slightly. It was normal for foreign powers to acquire shipyards in their own country, but he was a little worried about using them to manufacture weapons and warships.

"Oh? How does it compare to my Great Yan warships?"

"Far from it..." The eunuch carefully placed the parameters and information he had gathered on the table. "Oh—"

The emperor took the data and glanced at it. He could only say that he knew a little about military affairs. After all, as the emperor, he did not need to personally go to the front line to lead troops. Knowing a little bit was enough.

The first thing you notice is the tonnage. The larger the tonnage, the more armor and the bigger the main guns it can carry. But this warship only has four twin rapid-fire guns as its main guns, and they are also quite large.

However, the caliber and length of the cannon barrel already determine that even if its power is twice as strong as the Great Flame Cannon of the same specifications, it will at most be barely enough to match the power of the main gun of a capital ship.

In fact, he was right; these four cannons were not even as powerful as the medium-sized naval cannons of the Great Yan.

However, it is highly accurate and has a fast rate of fire, making it an excellent de-essential for small and medium-sized ships. It features fully automatic loading, four sets of alternating blade cooling systems and two sets of pressurized turret-type independent power units, plus two sets of rotating rails for alternating firing and twin-barreled firing modes, allowing it to fire up to 35 rounds per minute.

Don't forget, this is a 220mm-class weapon. Considering the power of the Dragon Flame Bullet, it's roughly equivalent to a 280mm naval gun on Earth, capable of unleashing nearly 150 rounds at your head per minute. It's a genuine land-based ship demaster.

The second thing to look at is the size. The larger the size, the more marines and auxiliary armored units it can carry. Terra's landships are used in a similar way to the Kharak. The mothership will also carry a large number of vehicles and drones. In a real battle, you will not be dealing with a single sea ship, but an armored cluster centered around a warship.

It's so-so in terms of size, but I don't understand those four external drone bays. It looks more like an armed assault transport ship.
