Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Time passed by quickly like a white horse passing by, and all the galaxies ruled by the Lord of Stars were immersed in a busy atmosphere of development.

"Captain Mendeleev, we have just completed the construction of two hundred frigates and four hundred and fifty destroyers. They are now neatly docked in the space dock. You can send personnel to receive them and drive these warships away at any time."

Malzahar, the person in charge of warship construction, called Mendeleev's personal terminal number and passed the good news to him after Mendeleev answered the call.

Because only when the navy successfully receives and takes away the completed warships can the space dock continue to invest in the construction of a new round of warships.

"Is it completed? So quickly?" Mendeleev stared at Malzaha in surprise, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

Just a few years ago, before the first expedition was launched, these warships were still under intense construction. According to the schedule provided by the logistics department at the time, it was originally expected to take another year or so to be completed, but now it has suddenly been brought forward by a whole year!

How could this not shock Mendeleev? In the past few years, since he embarked on his first expedition, he had been busy dealing with naval affairs and had no time to pay attention to the progress of warship construction.

But now Malzahar told him that the construction of hundreds of warships had been completed.

"Captain Mendeleev, have you forgotten that the Star Lord personally expanded the space dock last time?"

Malzahar, with a broad smile on his face, looked at Mendeleev and gently reminded him, "Ever since the Star Lord personally expanded the space dock, the space inside has been greatly increased, allowing us to build warships faster."

"Oh! I have been so busy lately that I even forgot about the personal action of the Lord of the Stars." Mendeleev shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

Since the beginning of his first expedition, Mendeleev had been constantly busy, not only responsible for the defense of the Star Sea but also for the various affairs of the expeditionary fleet. Such a busy schedule had almost made him forget the important event personally handled by the Star Lord.

"It seems that Captain Mendeleev is really busy!" Malzaha said jokingly with a smile on his face.

Mendeleev smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. There are just too many things to do. I forget about them if I'm not careful."

His tone was apologetic and bitter.

Malzahar smiled and consoled him, "It's alright, we all understand. However, since you're done with your work, please arrange for personnel to take over these warships as soon as possible."

After all, we can only start building the next batch of warships after your navy has taken these warships away. Time is of the essence, and we cannot delay the progress of building new warships."

Mendeleev nodded and replied seriously, "Don't worry, I will immediately arrange for the right personnel to take over these warships. It will definitely not affect your construction work."

Malzahar nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Captain Mendeleev. I hope we can maintain this good cooperative relationship."

"By the way, Malzahar, how long will it take to complete the construction of the cruisers and battleships?"

Mendeleev remembered that he had forgotten to ask about the situation of cruisers and battleships. Now he did not pay attention to the construction speed of frigates and destroyers, which led to the current chaos. He should ask more about the construction progress and make preparations in advance.

"Let me check the construction progress first." Malzaha heard Mendeleev's question and quickly checked it in his personal terminal.

"It will take more than three years for the cruisers and battleships to be completed and delivered to the navy for use." Malzaha said to Mendeleev after checking the information.

Mendeleev frowned and asked, "Another three years? Hasn't the Space Dock already been expanded by the Star Lord? Why hasn't the speed of building cruisers and battleships changed?"

He felt that according to common sense, since the space dock had been expanded, the speed of building warships should have increased, and it should not take so long.

Malzahar heard Mendeleev's puzzled question and patiently explained: "Although we have expanded the space dock, the resources and technology required to build large warships such as cruisers and battleships are very complex.

Even with the increased efficiency of production and the expansion of the space dock, it will still take time to ensure that each ship is built to the highest standards.

In addition, we also need to consider other factors, such as the training of technicians, equipment updates, etc., which all require time to prepare.

It's impossible to increase the construction speed of cruisers and battleships by expanding the space dock. The construction difficulty of cruisers and frigates is also different."

Mendeleev nodded, expressing his understanding: "Okay, then wait patiently for another three years."

After all, building a qualified cruiser or battleship is not a simple matter, it involves many aspects of work, and they do not want to sacrifice the quality of the battleship in a hurry.

"Captain Mendeleev, do you have any questions?"

"No more doubts." Mendeleev shook his head.

"Well, I'll go get busy first. You can just arrange for someone to come and drive the warship away!"

"it is good."

After the two chatted for a few words, Malzahar hung up the phone and turned to the construction of the new warship.

Mendeleev began to arrange the list of personnel to receive the warships. This time, more than 600 warships needed to be received at once. If too few people were sent, it would be impossible to successfully drive so many warships back to the naval base.

Therefore, Mendeleev had to carefully select a sufficient number of experienced crew members. After much deliberation, he finally finalized a detailed list of personnel and sent it to the relevant personnel.

"Knock knock" After a while, there was a knock on Mendeleev's office door.

"Come in!" Mendeleev shouted.

"Captain Mendeleev, are you looking for me?" A naval officer strode into the office, saluted Mendeleev, and asked.

"The main reason I asked you to come here this time is to arrange for you to carry out the mission." Mendeleev looked at the officer in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Captain Mendeleev, what is your mission?"

"Us, your mission this time is very simple. Lead your men to the space dock, receive the newly built warships, and drive them back to the naval base."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
