One Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight Tomorrow

The Earth Castle Region, one of the most important industrial bases of the Alan Hill Empire, is the No. 3 super-giant production factory directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

This is a planet, and it is also a factory, and a factory is a huge existence of a planet.

There are rest areas and residential areas for workers, as well as factory buildings that can hardly be seen as far as the eye can see.

Any parts you can think of have supporting production facilities here, and if production capacity coordination is required, they can also be directly deployed from other industrial areas through the space port.

There are 2 billion puppet robots specialized in production on the entire planet, with 110 million workers and 30 million cloned top industrial technicians.

As the pearl of imperial industry, the industrial production of this planet never stops. The roar of the machine never stops, and with the blessing of the nuclear fusion reactor, the equipment on the planet can almost continue to operate materially.

Morakot, the dwarf who was in charge of managing the planet, once proudly said that if the expansion of the empire did not stop, the fire in the Tubao factory would not go out.

Smith, the Minister of Industry, also once said to people that one only needs to visit the Tubao District to have a firm belief in the prosperity of the empire.

Regarding the official records of the earth castle, it is no exaggeration to describe the terrifying scale of the entire planet's industrial zone: If all the factories here are converted to stainless steel washbasins, it only needs to start work for one day, and the Alan Hill Empire will be able to survive within a hundred years. There is no need to produce stainless steel washbasins anymore.

At the same time, this is also a place where the elves are almost invisible-for the elves who admire nature, this place is simply the hell described in the book of apocalypse.

No matter how it is managed, the air here is filled with a smell of steel; no matter how many trees are planted here, the sky here is always hazy.

In order to make it barely meet the healthy standard of human life, the magicians of the elves are regularly sent to this planet to perform comprehensive management tasks.

After paying such a high price, the earth castle area of ​​the Ireland Hill Empire has reached a terrifyingly exaggerated production capacity.

According to General Luo Kai of the Imperial General Staff, the bullets produced here in one minute are enough to fight a war.

At this moment, a floating magic circle lit up at the bottom of a spaceship, and it landed lightly on the huge apron specially prepared for the spaceship.

The Z-30 planes parked around were lined up neatly, and the Space Force officer in charge of picking up the plane was a colonel. He stood at attention and saluted everyone who got off the plane with a smile on his face: "Good afternoon! Gentlemen!"

"Sir!" All the soldiers who got off the plane were not of low rank,

Basically captains, lieutenants, or at least ensigns.

They are all pilots, and they are all ace pilots in various units. The most famous is the super ace Oranc who has just shot down 1000 enemy flying devices.

"Do you know why you are here?" The colonel who picked up the plane asked while leading the way.

"Yes, sir!" A handsome pilot with a military cap on one side replied with a smile.

"After experiments, the Logistics Department of the Imperial Army decided to start phasing out the Z-type fighters and F-type fighters and replace them with the latest space weapons." The officer said to Oranke and the others as they walked.

About a few hundred meters away on his left is the huge air transport terminal. Here, a spacecraft is launched almost every 10 minutes to transport the produced products to the star ring factory area on Tubao 3.

The factories on the ground produce parts or other industrial equipment, and the Halo factories produce spaceships. Everyone has a different division of labor, and the field of manufacture is also different.

A group of people soon came to the factory area, which is a super-automated factory with a factory building tens of meters high.

Those walking around were either clone engineers or specially made puppet production robots.

Unlike combat robots, production robots are completely different in size and appearance because they have to adapt to different jobs. Some robots are tall, while others are less than a meter tall.

Some robots have fingers as thin as probes, and some robots have a hand that is just a thick pincer. They are designed to satisfy a certain process, and they are almost useless outside of their own jobs.

However, after such differentiation, it has brought a very amazing increase in production capacity. Special robots are irreplaceable in the production process.

Above everyone's heads, the maglev train roared past, and the train loaded with supplies transported the parts produced by other factories to here at super high speed, and then transported the things produced here to the finished product airport.

From time to time, there are passenger trains full of resting workers leaving. They go straight to nearby residential areas, and workers on shifts will take these vehicles to return to their homes.

There are hundreds of one-nanometer-level lithography machines on the entire planet producing chips, and the chips produced supply the platforms that need chips on the entire planet.

Thousands of cargo spaceships arrive here every day, full of ore or metal ingots, providing raw materials for the operation of factories on the entire planet.

Compared with Alan Sirius, this place is more sci-fi and colder. Completely different from the diversified and de-industrialized imperial capital, everything here is constantly turning the most primitive ores into the most cutting-edge industrial products.

In Tubao, flashing neon billboards can only be seen in residential areas, but conveyor belts and loading and unloading robots can be seen everywhere. Huge cranes of various types set off the chimneys more than 200 meters high, emitting faint blue smoke day and night.

"Did you see this? This is a new type of weapon that shines in the new 6th area." He led a group of people to the factory that produced the latest space weapons. The factory building here still smelled of paint.

According to the requirements of the elves, all the decoration materials used here are of first-class environmental quality—just like modern home decoration, every material is of environmental quality, so it may not be necessary to put them together.

Seeing these huge humanoid weapons that are undergoing final assembly and debugging, a group of well-informed pilots immediately showed disappointment: "Cut... isn't this a large UIPA... It seems that I have never seen it before." Same."

"This is much more complicated than you think." The colonel officer smiled and comforted the disappointed ace pilots.

"Come on, let our chief engineer... Ms. Luo Ke introduce this, the future cosmic weapon of the empire!" The colonel introduced solemnly, and pointed to the beautiful engineer who was supervising the assistants to operate and debug the computer.

That's right, she is the beautiful engineer in the No. 9 experimental space station, and she is now assigned here to be responsible for the production of the first batch of Zaku.

As for the poor male engineer who borrowed the concept of UIPA, he is still engaged in related research work in the No. 9 experimental space station.

The programmer missed his love after all, and the beautiful engineer Luo Ke is still single-no one is a winner in this love war.

"Don't underestimate it. Although it looks like UIPA, there is almost no connection between the two except for the principle. It uses the latest perception technology, which is faster than the corresponding speed before." Put down your hand With the job done, Rocco began his introduction to the new weapon.

The Alan Hill Empire is obviously spared no expense for this kind of weapon that may change the course of the war. Because of the fear of natural population loss, as well as concerns about population shortage, the Irish Empire has been trying to reduce the consumption of war on population.

This is the core reason why the Alan Hill Empire uses a large number of clones and puppet robots.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the weapon designers of Alan Hill can be said to spare no expense on Zaku, a weapon that can only be driven by natural people.

What does it mean to spare no expense? Sparing no expense means that Zaku used a lot of the latest technology that he was reluctant to use because it was expensive. In short, compared with the previous weapons and equipment, its level of refinement is far beyond imagination.

"Enhanced UIPA?" Hearing Luo Ke's introduction, a pilot didn't buy it, and said flirting with the beautiful woman.

"Listen to me." Luo Ke picked the curly hair on his shoulders with his fingers, with a charming voice.

"Okay, tell me." Sure enough, the ace pilot who is very popular with girls and can be said to have read countless girls knows more about style than programmers, so he no longer interrupted Luo Ke's introduction.

Luo Ke is not interested in pilots. She continued her work and introduced: "After improving the perception technology, we have also added some new control technologies. Including brand-new propulsion thinking control technology and neural response enhancement technology."

Natural people don't have propellers, they can control Zaku through their souls or mental power, and keep Zaku in the same motion as themselves, but they can hardly rely on their souls to control Zaku's propellers.

This requires computer assistance, as well as some adaptive training - the previous experimental model Zaku did not have these new features, but on the mass-produced Zaku, these new technologies have been applied.

Sometimes the test machine is not necessarily more advanced than the mass production machine, and sometimes the test machine is indeed more powerful than the mass production machine - this is completely random, and the mass production machine is not necessarily a verification machine with weakened performance .

"As long as the driver uses his brain, this new weapon called Zaku can fly freely in the universe." Luo Ke has been debugging these new technologies and equipment supporting these technologies recently, so she is very interested in these things. Have confidence.

"It can completely do irregular flight movements, and can avoid most of the intercepting firepower. It is much more flexible than the Z-type fighter jet." Calling up a test flight video, Luo Ke pointed at this trajectory and said.

Seeing this trajectory, Oak Lanke's eyes lit up - if he wants to fly out of this trajectory smoothly, using the Z fighter requires very complicated operations.

He can even say with certainty that apart from him, few pilots dare to say that they can rely on both hands and feet to drive a Z fighter to make such complicated maneuvers!

Obviously, although the test pilot on Zaku is also a master, there is still a big gap compared with the experienced Oranke.

Since the opponent was able to drive Zaku to make such a sky-defying maneuver, it meant that at least in terms of control, this brand new weapon had surpassed his Z-type fighter that had been carefully tuned by the ground crew.

"With the propellers on both legs, it can change its flight direction at any time, saving a lot of engine space." Luo Ke continued to introduce the anti-weapon performance of this weapon: "So it can carry more fuel , can fly longer distances, have stronger defenses, and can support sharper attacks."

"Go on." Now there are not many pilots who are absent-minded. They are all strong fighters who fight on the front line of the war and risk their own lives. They are naturally very professional in their own fields.

As the content of the introduction continues to increase, they can already feel the powerful performance of the new weapons.

For ace pilots like them, more powerful performance means a greater probability of survival on the battlefield and more achievements.

Therefore, the eyes of the ace pilots here are sharp. They are all eager to know what kind of performance this weapon has and how high it can raise them on the battlefield.

"In terms of energy utilization, it uses our latest scientific research results, and the energy mobilization speed is faster... Don't underestimate this technology, we only use this technology on the latest Invincible-class battleship! Now, this technology It has already sunk to a mecha weapon of Zaku's level, which is already very rare." Luo Ke lived up to everyone's expectations and continued to introduce.

Similar technology sinking often happens. It is normal for low-end products or smaller products to use the previous high-end technology and bulky technical equipment.

For example, the technology that was only used in the Volkswagen Magotan class before is now used in the Sagitar class. Some of the technologies and configurations of the BMW 5 Series have now been transferred to the BMW 3 Series.

"With such a technology, Zaku's defense is faster and more reliable. It can use less energy to strengthen the local magic defense barrier, and can resist most single-body fire attacks." Luo Ke explained while adjusting I took a data chart and introduced the gap between the existing technology and the latest technology in detail.

Although the difference is calculated in milliseconds, it is reflected in actual combat, even if it is 0.0001 milliseconds more, that is too much!

"In terms of weapons, it is also much more powerful than the Z fighter." When it comes to weapons, all the pilots are more focused. This is the basis for their achievements, and it is something that everyone is very concerned about.

"Look, everyone, this is a shoulder-mounted disposable rocket launcher. At close range, it can easily penetrate the watchman's battleship defense." After walking tens of meters into the factory building with everyone, Luo Ke pointed to a door. Said the giant bazooka.

This is a weapon that was previously used to suppress the rebellion in the new 6th district, and has now begun mass production. Although it is a one-time weapon, it can give Zaku the ability to destroy large warships, so it is also one of the very important core equipment.

Another core equipment of Zaku is the technology from the Heavenly Sword Sect - lightsaber. After this technology was improved, it evolved into the energy sword technology of the Alan Hill Empire.

Luo Ke pointed to the two charged sword hilts placed on Zaku's waist, and introduced: "Also, have you seen this lightsaber? It can use this technology from the Heavenly Sword Sect to fight. , the fighting power is ten times stronger than that of the Z Fighter!"

"The electromagnetic machine gun is designed on the shoulder. If necessary, it can be discarded at any time, and there are more ammunition stored... But this is not its main weapon." Pointing to the electromagnetic machine gun on Zaku's shoulder Locke did not introduce the suppression system in detail.

This thing is also found on Z-fighters. It is the core weapon and equipment of Z-type fighters. The actual combat effect is average, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Even before Zaku was born, the Alan Hill Empire military was always looking for alternatives to electromagnetic weapons, because on the battlefield, electromagnetic cannons had shown signs of decline, and their power was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Alternatives will soon be developed, and that is Zaku's current core equipment, the particle beam gun.

This weapon uses the magic array to gather particle energy, and its power and ballistic performance are far superior to electromagnetic cannons. The only disadvantage is that the charging time of this weapon at this stage is relatively long, and the ability to suppress continuous shooting is much weaker than that of the electromagnetic cannon.

However, all military representatives who have seen the actual combat of the particle beam gun are sure that this weapon is the direction of development and represents the future of warfare!

"The standard equipped weapon is a particle ray gun. This newly developed weapon is specially developed for Zaku... It hasn't had time to equip other warships or mechs..." Obviously, Luo Ke also thinks that this weapon represents the future.

So when she introduced this weapon, she was more detailed than when she introduced the electromagnetic cannon.

The ace pilots are also more interested in this weapon. They carefully watched the video of the weapon firing and attacking, and then followed Luo Ke to visit the actual objects placed on the production line.

As Zaku's weapon, it is too big for a human. Standing next to this light gun, these ace pilots seem to be figures.

"Particle ray guns can easily penetrate our existing armor, and have miraculous effects on magic defense barriers... At close range, they are even more powerful than magic laser cannons. This has been confirmed in the new 6th area, and what we provide is actual combat Data." Luo Ke habitually brushed aside the curly hair on his shoulders with his hand, and put his other hand in his pocket, quite like a royal sister: "With this weapon, Zaku can threaten the opponent at close range Destroy the enemy's core main battleship 'Adjudicator'!"

"The only shortcoming is that this weapon, named Zaku by His Majesty the Emperor himself, cannot be used by clones. We can only use natural people to drive and control it." Walking to the end of the production line, she said with some regret.

After finishing speaking, she looked at these pilots and showed a bright smile: "This is also the reason why you are here... Before they are mass-produced, you have to start adaptive training... Wait for them to be mass-produced." After the output, you will be the first batch of pilots to drive this cosmic weapon!"

"I know that many of you have been modified." She mentioned the genetic modification project of pilots without hesitation, as if she mentioned an ordinary technology research and development project.

For those painful memories that many pilots are unwilling to mention, Rocco just regards it as a technical attempt of the development of the times.

"Many people have enhanced genes and were participants in previous genetic modification experiments." When she talked about this, she was even a little envious—being able to be modified and become a stronger human being has always been something that many people yearn for.

"So your reaction speed is faster, and you can bear more pressure and overload. Originally, you were strengthened to adapt to the super version of the J-30 fighter, which is the enhanced J-40 fighter." Rocco also brought up a nearly forgotten weapons program.

The J-40 fighter project back then was a real challenge to the limits of human beings: the human physique became the only bottleneck restricting the development of weapons. In order to adapt to more powerful weapons, pilots had to transform their bodies and become hybrid genetic experiments. .

The result is actually very sad. Soon the era of the universe will come. No matter how powerful the J-40 fighter is, it is just a fighter in the atmosphere.

In the end, the J-40 project was cancelled, and the Z-type fighter project was put on the agenda. The super pilots who were originally transformed were transferred to the Space Force and started the adaptation training of the Z fighter.

When this matter was mentioned, many pilots showed regretful expressions on their faces. They are somewhat frustrated that their efforts are not being rewarded.

"But now, the J-40 fighter project has stalled, because fighter jets in the atmosphere are no longer able to determine the outcome of a war." Luo Ke didn't care about this, and she continued to say.

"The one who controls the universe can control the sky. You already know this very well, so your talents will be used in the war for the universe." Having said that, she pointed to the huge Zaku behind her and announced loudly Said: "Everyone, we will provide you with a debugging version of the enhanced Zaku. They are more powerful, faster, and more effective than the mass-produced version..."

"Only you can control such a monster. I hope you can bring victory to the empire while possessing powerful weapons!" After she finished speaking, she gave up her position to the colonel of the space army who had been following her all along.

"It's really exciting...to produce so many at one go..." Looking at the Zaku Legion on the assembly line, several ace fighter pilots who came to visit all sighed.

"So! When can we get such a body?" A pilot raised his arm and asked.

"Tomorrow." This time it was the colonel officer who gave them a tour to answer him.

Make up for it.
