Chapter 513 Industrial Command Ship Design

Air Island Joint Technology Research Institute, a subordinate aerospace ship design institute.

Because of the establishment of the engineering port, the territory can carry out research and improvement work on aerospace ships in the sky island world, and the aerospace ship team responsible for the research naturally leads its members to carry out research work here safely.

"It's so difficult, the design of large ships."

Sif lay on the table, raised the blueprint of the block and placed it in the sun. The light passed through the blueprint and cast a shadow on the table.

"In that case, the main structure and the keel part will not be able to withstand the pressure caused by the steering..."

When turning, the force of adjusting the hull acts on the connection points of various areas of the ship, and the local stress will be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than usual.

Under this kind of steering pressure, even the keel made of steel appears extremely fragile, until the pressure reaches the extreme of steel.

‘pop’

Break it in the middle like a soda cracker.

Imagine using a joint as a fulcrum to drive the entire ship to rotate. This force will act on the entire keel along the joint.

This is also the reason why the Seagull class, a connected aerospace ship, can only be compatible with five modules. The metal strength of the connection points does not guarantee its sufficient flexibility.

Forcibly driving may cause metal fatigue to the main structure, and then repeat the above fracture process.

The larger the ship, the greater the local stresses the ship will experience when turning.

Sometimes the ship cannot turn too fast, not because the engine power is insufficient, but because the hull structure of the ship itself does not allow such a fast turning speed.

As the deputy director of the aerospace ship design institute, Xifu is still worried about the complex demands put forward by the lord. As the director, Zhongyan has been going to the engineering port every day to check on the maintenance status.

Gui Yu knocked on the door lightly and looked at the girl with glasses in the room who looked sad.

Ji Lin had a mission and often ran away and had little time to accompany her, so she did her best to help Ji Lin solve some problems.

"Sister Guiyu...good morning! Hmm!"

As if she had been caught slacking off, Xif immediately sat up straight in her chair, and then watched Gui Yu take an entire draft of the blueprint out of her hand.

Different from Zhongyan's design that favors bionics, her design prefers a regular symmetrical geometric structure, and the complete superimposed frame is symmetrical and balanced.

The complete design of a long square ship appears on the paper. It is more like a flying iron box than a ship.

The hollow frame extending forward and left from the central iron box is the part where this industrial ship starts its work.

It was completely unexpected that she had participated in the design of the Seagull-class aerospace ship, which was based on living creatures.

"Well, the steering performance can be increased by adding auxiliary thrusters. Although the final steering speed is still very slow... the hull will not be particularly stressed."

The auxiliary thruster can significantly reduce the pressure on the hull.

Gui Yu said simply, using the tip of her pen to quickly outline sixteen points on the blueprint, indicating that she could design and install appropriate auxiliary steering and auxiliary propulsion engines at these places.

Okay, that’s it!

"Eh?"

Sif was stunned for a moment and tilted her head.

"You are not really designing a ship to sail on the sea. I have seen the floating stone engine. It can compress the space into a small enough size."

Gui Yu put down the pen and paper, handed the blueprint to Xif, who was sitting in front of her in a daze, and gently hit her head with the blueprint.

"The lower part of the ship itself needs to install a large number of load-bearing engines, and a special energy circuit needs to be designed...The energy circuit design of large ships is completely different from that of small ships."

A simple design framework is completely insufficient.

This is the biggest problem in designing from scratch. The wiring of large equipment is completely different from that of small circuits. Inexperienced people can easily waste a lot of time and resources on this issue.

It will be too late to wait until problems arise after the line is built to re-lay it.

Sif nodded, expressing her respect.

"It's amazing."

Gui Yu raised his chin slightly.

Although she is not that tall, in terms of knowledge reserve, there is no problem in crushing the territory back and forth dozens of times.

It’s just that the system won’t let her reveal it.

For someone like her who comes from a lower era, the system doesn't have the energy to block knowledge for her. As long as it doesn't do it too hard and sends out skills too fiercely, it will pretend not to see it.

This kind of little guidance is totally out of the question.

"Let me see if there is anything else that needs to be corrected."

Gui Yu lowered his head and looked at the blueprint.

This child is very talented, but she didn't see any big problems with the frame structure. It's the kind of thing that can be built in a shipyard without any problems.

A special large ship with a body length of 350 meters and a height of three stories... an industrial command ship.

Reserve a residential area for a thousand people to sustain life for at least three months, and be able to carry 10,000 tons of supplies at the same time... Reserve a small port for repairs and berthing.

It can carry a large number of aerial ships equipped with different equipment to conduct rapid mining operations on islands.

This was Ji Lin's request.

Because the industrial command ship needs to stay away from the fortress islands and rely on the small fleet it carries to efficiently develop islands that cannot be controlled by its territory.

The sufficient size means that the energy network of the industrial command ship can be equipped with large equipment that cannot be used by ordinary aerospace ships - such as large conveyor belts and thermo-optic flow ablation weapons.

There are also features of industrial civilization: impact drills/drilling machines.

The driller carried by the 350-meter-long industrial command ship is not the nail gun impact drill used by steam mechanized soldiers. The heavy mining machine, which is measured in meters, will crush the ore veins under the drive of steam.

The ore veins are turned into a very easy-to-mine mode, instead of requiring workers to use hoes and pickaxes to mine rocks one by one.

A steam-powered industrial heavy impact drill can crush a small ore vein in one day.

The mining volume of one hundred workers in one day is only the mining volume of this kind of mining machine with a several-meter-long alloy drill in ten minutes.

The only problem is that this thing can only be produced by a serious engineering civilization, and it requires a lot of pre-techniques. Ji Lin is still a tricky one-because the steam mechanized soldiers have a steam nail gun for auxiliary combat.

It saved him a lot of design time.

In addition, ordinary ships can't bear the recoil of this thing's vibration... and neither can the mechanical arm.

If they still plan to have a mechanical arm.

This kind of mining drill can only be used on super-large ships.

Each industrial command ship is designed to carry three such heavy mining impact drills to assist in work. In theory, it can complete the complete mining of a small island within three days to a week.

Eat up all the mining resources of the small island and throw them out to let the system recover.

(I'll take a day off tomorrow. I have something to do. QWQ.)
