Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

"what?!"

Brie and Richelieu were both stunned for a moment. They had never thought about this question before.

"Theoretically, it's possible, meow."

Akashi replied, appearing out of nowhere.

"All equipment manufactured at the naval base can be used by the commander, whether it is carrier-based aircraft or other weapons."

"But since you're not a shipgirl, they can only exert their original power, nyan."

"..."

Lu Chen gave up the idea of ​​flying a carrier-based aircraft.

Without the buff of the ship girl, that thing is just a propeller plane. If it is flown out, it will be shot down like a turkey by anti-aircraft guns.

It would be better to rely on your own physical strength and beat the enemy to death with one punch.

"This is the torpedo factory. The monthly output is between 1200 and 1500, including anti-ship torpedoes, anti-submarine torpedoes, aviation torpedoes, etc...."

"This is the naval gun assembly plant. The current base is large enough to assemble naval guns below 380mm. For larger calibers, we have to go to the Dagang District..."

"This is a dock, used to repair the ship's hull and manufacture new warships. The monthly output is..."

"This is a small arms factory..."

"This is the shipgirl dormitory and bathhouse, uh, do you want to take a look?..."

Looking all the way, Lu Chen nodded frequently.

The amazing thing about Azure Tech is that they use the power of the Mind Cube to make some weapons that look like antiques from World War II very interesting.

And the production capacity is extremely developed.

This small naval base is almost equivalent to the industrial productivity of half of the European Union.

After walking around, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something:

"After seeing so much about the military industry, what about the others?"

"What about agriculture, light industry, and manufacturing? What crops do you usually grow? Potatoes? Wheat? What's the yield?"

"..."

Several people were stunned.

"Agriculture? What agriculture? What is light industry?"

Akashi and Brie were confused.

"Commander, we are all ship girls, not farmers."

"?"

"So what do you eat?"

"We drink warship fuel and coolant."

"Where do the bread and tea in the harbor come from?!"

"That's a snack, it doesn't consume much."

"..."

Lu Chen looked at the production report in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Without agriculture, light industry, education, medicine, or even basic science, our civilization has achieved leapfrog development.

They are far ahead in the military industry and can defeat most of the natives before the Space Age.

The production of artillery, fighter planes and torpedoes was so high that it was even possible to dump arms to other parts of the world.

congratulations.

Blue technology, shocking.

"Fuck, whose family maxed out military technology first when farming?!"

...

(Here’s another AI-drawn picture of Sister Li)

(Please give me flowers, evaluation votes, and free data. Thank you all~~).

Chapter 17 There are more torpedoes in the house than fish

The technology tree is crooked when you go out.

This is Lu Chen’s understanding of the current situation.

With the support of the Azure Ship Girls, the settlement quickly developed to the level of the pre-space age.

To be precise, military technology had developed to the pre-space age, scientific research had not yet begun, and agriculture and light industry were almost non-existent.

This feeling was intensified after he saw the inventory situation where he lived.

The next day.

Richelieu placed a thick stack of reports on Lu Chen's desk.

"Commander, I organized a round of inventory check yesterday. This is all the supplies we have. Please take a look."

As a secretary ship, she would compile statistics on various conditions of the residence every day.

For example, resource reserves, personnel changes, material consumption and production conditions, etc., and then report to Lu Chen.

The handwriting above is elegant and beautiful, and the indicators are listed neatly. Richelieu's work attitude and seriousness are beyond reproach.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lu Chen opened the report.

As a commander, it is your obligation to understand the reserves and consumption of various resources, and then plan the subsequent development route.

The first is strategic resources.

Iron ore: reserves of 1 tons, monthly output of 45 tons...

Coal mine: reserves of 1.5 tons, monthly output of 32 tons...

Tin ore: reserves of 0.2 tons, monthly output of 120 tons...

In addition, there are a variety of refined ores such as aluminum, magnesium, copper and even uranium.

The long-distance fleet led by Essex had settled down in the rich mining area of ​​the Balkan Peninsula, where mines and smelters were built.

Although the number of Bri and Manju is small, their output is close to that of a medium-sized mining group.

The heavy industry in the blue world is also developed.

Every half a month, the Brie fleet could be seen traveling back and forth between Athens and Constantinople, loaded with ore, to provide resources for the construction of the capital.

"That's right. Next time when the passage is opened, ask the port to send more people over."

Lu Chen was very satisfied with the mining team's work results.

Iron and coal are the cornerstones of modern industry. The higher the output, the faster the future infrastructure work will be.

Next comes the equipment.

"Currently, the port area has a total of 1612 available carrier-based aircraft, 582 torpedo planes, and fighter planes..."

“鱼雷储量为3240枚，610毫米鱼雷240枚，四联装533磁性鱼雷330枚……”

"155 160mm self-propelled artillery pieces, 4200 aerial bombs..."

"26 hydrogen bombs."

"?"

When the vanguard fleet set out, the port gave them a lot of equipment, which would last for a long time even if the naval base here did not produce it.

But he felt that he had seen something extraordinary.

"Where did you get the hydrogen bomb?!"

"Well, Akashi made it some time ago using captured Siren technology."

Richelieu thought about it.

"Minato is afraid that we will encounter a strong enemy, so he gave a few missiles to each carrier girl in the vanguard fleet."

"..."

"So Taiho, Kawei, Essex, and Glory actually have the ability to launch a nuclear strike..."

Thinking of the fight between Dafeng and Richelieu not long ago for the position of secretary ship, Lu Chen was shocked.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't get too excited.

"Great! We not only have thousands of planes and hundreds of large and small artillery pieces, but we even have nuclear weapons."

He felt that the martial virtues here were exceptionally abundant.

On Earth, he would have to make the representative of Eagle Family Fort roll down from the seat of the five permanent members during the United Nations meeting and then sit in his place.

He looked at the other supplies.

"Agricultural products: 20 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of corn, and some grain seeds."

"?"

Unlike the hundreds and thousands of carrier-based aircraft, torpedoes and artillery shells mentioned above, which came in a wide variety, the inventory of agricultural products seemed so simple and unpretentious.

Lu Chen confirmed again and again that the unit was kilograms, not tons or ten thousand tons.

"This was found in the house where you were born."

Richelieu added.

"..."

KanColles have no need to eat and only eat snacks occasionally, so they naturally have no agricultural technology.

There are more hydrogen bombs in the warehouse than rice.

"Commander, what do you think we should do next?"

After reading the statistical report, Sister Li waited for Lu Chen to plan future plans.

"..."

Lu Chen held his forehead in thought.

When economic activity is almost non-existent and there are so many weapons and equipment that the warehouses cannot store them all.

He thinks there are only two directions left:

"We now have two options."

"First, we should try our best to develop the agricultural and light industrial technologies here to prepare for the future."

"Second, turn your neighbors into tributary states and then exploit them sustainably."

……

……

Lu Chen temporarily chose the first option.

The main reason is that the crossing skill is still on CD, so it is impossible to suddenly appear and beat up the neighbors.

The secondary reason is that as a Chinese, they did not farm when they were reclaiming wasteland and rebuilding civilization.

He felt a ship girl crawling on his body, and his DNA protested against him frantically.

Even if the ship girls don't need to eat, from a long-term perspective, they should develop agriculture to some extent in case of emergency.

If there are guests from other worlds, we can't feed them fuel and coolant to drink.

While checking the super-dimensional star map, he discovered that there were millions of little girls in a distant world waiting for him to rescue them.

"So, do any of you know how to farm?"

He summoned all the ship girls of the vanguard fleet.
