Chapter 226 Mass Production Plan

Still not working...

Thinking.

Chongyan erased all the model frames drawn on the blackboard. It was not enough, still not enough.

Either make it bigger and use a more powerful engine to drive the airship, or make it smaller and compress the internal space in exchange for a higher load.

Relying on the original template would not be able to meet the lord's requirements, he was very clear about this.

He considered moving the entire steam engine of the steam spider to increase the movement speed, but that plan would cause the already small load to further decline, turning it into a pure infantry transport unit.

He chose to add a sail on each wing of the airship that could move quickly with the help of wind power, so as to increase the weight to a minimum while speeding up the bulky airship.

Although the design drawings have not yet come out, he has increased the engine output by 5%, from the 80% that the dean handed over to him at the beginning to 90%.

90% is the upper limit of the engine output. Every step down is extremely difficult. The remaining 10% is the gap between them and the first movers that must be filled with time.

Relying on continuous improvement to turn the airship into a qualified transport boat, the weight must be able to transport the steam spider, which is the minimum requirement.

Chongyan knocked on the table. The steam spider has project information, so the development speed is faster than starting from scratch, and it is said that foreign aid has been invited to assist in the research.

Relying on the small factory affiliated with the School of Engineering, it has begun to try to produce the preliminary finalized steam spider on a small scale, reducing the risk of self-explosion and accidental injury to friendly forces.

The small factory of the School of Engineering has 50% of the efficiency of the standard factory. The steam-driven hydraulic press can assist in processing most of the larger parts and frame structures.

Like a heavy hammer falling, the steel frame is forged one by one.

Then the excellent rune craftsman apprentices selected will use chalk to draw the positions where the reinforcement runes need to be engraved along the blueprint. After the runes are engraved, the workers will assemble them bit by bit. According to the standard process, this should not require the participation of the dean. Just like he taught the territory workers to make fishing boats, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper after he has figured out the method and process.

As a unit of the fifth era, the internal structure of the Steam Spider has begun to become complicated. It is a unit to be deployed on the battlefield. There must be someone familiar with the overall process to supervise it, and this responsibility falls on the head of the academy.

Two units per week, eight units can be produced per month.

The monthly manpower investment is 200, and each Steam Spider consumes an additional three units of floating stones - the main feature is that it is powerful enough to fly.

The current 30 infantry squads in the territory need 15 weeks to be fully equipped to the squad level, and only five weeks to be equipped to the platoon level.

With the bonus of blood purification, the speed of skilled work of rune craftsmen apprentices and workers is faster than that of the people under other lords.

The Steam Spider has made a breakthrough, and now the pressure of scientific research will be given to Chongyan.

There is no way. Rhanna is more familiar with only structures such as steam spiders and steam mechas. Ji Lin also gives priority to her to assist in the research and development of steam spiders and put them into production as soon as possible. Although she has a strong research ability, she is not a special talent in scientific research, and she can't help in areas she doesn't understand.

The research and development progress of the steam spiders and the steam mechas are also improving rapidly.

Seeing those territory standard steam spiders, which are much thicker than the original steam spiders, shaking their bodies and walking down the production line with white mist from the exhaust pipes on their backs, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Three units of floating stones, one unit of floating stones is sold for 40 gold in the market.

20% movement speed bonus, all-terrain adaptability is enhanced.

50% increase in carrying capacity, each steam spider can now carry an additional 300 kilograms of supplies/equipment.

Safety is improved, the steam spider can increase the load brought by the floating stone to install more protective parts for itself to avoid accidents.

Armor rate is increased, the armor strength of the new steam spider can reach 90, resisting most low-era projectile attacks... There is no need to worry about being unlucky enough to be hit by a direct shot at the open mechanical structure inside and cause it to collapse. The steam spider designed in that world completely exposes the structure to the outside, and multiple rounds of musket intensive volleys can make it collapse as long as it hits the key parts.

Three units of floating stones are still quite painful.

It's a pity that the territory does not have long-range weapons for such units, but 30mm infantry support artillery can be mounted on it.

The replaceable barrels and ammunition carried by a steam spider are enough for the accompanying shooting team to destroy their hands and still have some left.

The territory also has its own construct units, which have combat constructs of the same level as monster infantry.

"Thank you."

Although she said she was assisting in scientific research, Jeanna's actual office was still in the city hall. She added a chair next to Ji Lin and sat next to him at the same desk to work.

She stuck to Ji Lin every day and had no intention of leaving.

It was indeed a bit of a shame to let the other party who should have rested to work... so Ji Lin also felt a little sorry in his heart.

He took Jeanna for a walk in the territory... and specially avoided the church of the Church of the God of Light. Due to official business, he could not leave the territory too far and take her to play in the dense forest.

There is the holy city of Trancón that you can go to, but if you run into acquaintances there it won’t be a simple matter of social death.

He really didn't dare to take Jeanna with him.

"Jeanna, is there anything you want?"

Ji Lin looked at Jeanna who was sitting next to him. She shook her head and put down the paper and pen in her hand.
