After Anna pressed a red button in front of her.
A huge cislunar space portal opened in the center of the base.
Various warship modules and parts surged out from inside like a flood, and were then towed by unmanned transport aircraft and sorted into categories and pulled to the mountains made of various modules in the innermost circle of the base.
As for the outermost circle of the base, it is composed of various conveyor belts, high-speed transport tracks, and 250 shipbuilding docks connected by unmanned transport aircraft.
Start by laying the first keel.
All 250 warships, like building blocks, are slowly taking shape in the slipway under the huge industrial robots and giant arms.
Only a dozen minutes had passed.
All 250 warships on the slipway had their entire keels laid in the center in less than 5 seconds.
"Colonel Graf, what do you think of this production system that cost Russia nearly 2000 billion rubles?"
After noticing that all the production lines had begun operating, Anna smiled and asked Graf beside her, "You only see 250 shipbuilding docks... but on Earth and in the asteroid belt, there are over 5 manufacturing companies producing these modules and parts."
"I believe that humans will have such a production system."
"Then the Zerg within the Milky Way will no longer be a cause for fear..."
"Perhaps you should wait until the first batch of warships rolls off the production line and undergoes further testing before making these remarks."
After seeing 250 slipways being used to build ships like cars, Graf still didn't have a good face for Anna from the Battle School. "And how do you plan to train the captains and crew on the warships? I don't think humans have that much talent right now..."
Chapter 428 A Battleship That Only Requires 5 People
Graf was right. Compared to the tens of thousands of fighter pilots that humans already had, captains and other crew members of human space battleships were actually even more scarce.
In fact, before Anna arrived.
Humanity has never had more than 2000 captains qualified to manage and operate a spaceship.
Those international fleets were trained at great expense in several schools, and those cheaper logistics and damage control personnel are not cabbages that can be easily purchased.
Take the number of slipways that Graf observed.
Even if the international fleet, captains, and damage control personnel were all dismantled, they still wouldn't be able to fill the 250 warships currently under construction, let alone the 4000-meter and 2000-meter class battleships.
"Haha...you'll know when the time comes."
After Graf raised his question with the same old-fashioned thinking, Anna was very proud and dragged Mai Mai and the female professor to visit the cafeteria and game room of the lunar shipbuilding base. "Anyway, the first batch of warships will be offline soon..."
……
The entire lunar shipbuilding base covers an area of dozens of square kilometers.
However, there are not many engineers and skilled workers working in the base with 250 slipways.
Therefore, even with a three-shift system and 10% more surplus personnel, there are actually no more than 1000 living people in this base with the highest level of secrecy in Russia.
Yes.
With the coordination of hundreds of thousands or even millions of artificial intelligence cores in the base.
When each shipyard is actually carrying out shipbuilding work, only one or two engineers are needed to carry out daily monitoring and handle some emergencies.
For previous human shipbuilding technology, this is truly like the efficiency difference between hand weaving and mechanical looms in history.
……
Although the time when the warships were taken offline was different.
But after Anna and the others stayed in this base for 28 hours.
The first batch of 250 100-meter-class warships on the slipway were launched one after another within a time difference of 5 minutes.
Just like Anna promised, it's like 'producing cars'.
For the second batch of 100-meter-class warships, after all these warships flew out of the production line, a new round of keel laying work began on the slipway.
And outside the base is a vast lunar plain.
He also opened the space doors one by one in a timely manner and came to the front of each docked warship.
Ander and the other 250 top-ranked students in the school walked out of the space gate one by one.
Next to each of them.
There are four damage control personnel and auxiliary personnel who gathered here from other places.
"Alright...you've already trained in the simulator many times before you came here."
After everyone was in place, Anna spoke to those in light spacesuits, "Let's board the ship now and carry out all the tests and operations in the mission one by one..."
Then the smiling principal.
Mai Mai was wearing a fully encapsulated helmet with not even a strand of hair showing.
There was also a female professor with a playful look on her face, and Graf, who didn't look uncomfortable at all, and the four of them stood next to Ender.
Poor savior Ander, who is only 10 years old now, had to stand in fear next to a new 100-meter-class battleship with the four big guys in the school without any help from anyone.
Buzz! ~Hiss!~
After everyone connected and verified the smart watches on their hands with the quantum computer in the battleship.
On the plain, one after another, space gates leading to the interior of the warship opened.
Then the sound of battleship engines and engines rang out.
One after another, 100-meter-class warships quickly flew away from the lunar plain outside the base.
"Alright, Student Ander..." After the four of them also entered the last battleship on the plain through the space portal opened by their watches, Anna said to the Savior classmate next to them, "You can start the test. The rest of us need to go to this battleship for a while."
"Huh? Isn't the difficulty test Vika?"
"Uh... well!"
"I understand, Principal..."
After hearing what the principal said, Ander was stunned at first. He thought that the job of testing the battleship was done by Miss Vika, the number one person in the school, because no matter how he looked at it, "Invincible Vika" was more qualified than him.
But after seeing someone's expression of "What kind of illusion made you think Vika's warship would be such a tiny thing"...
The savior, Ander, quietly sat down in the captain's seat in the bridge and began to perform the test work that he had practiced hundreds of times in the simulator.
First, turn on the main engine switch.
After obtaining the main power, turn on the communication system and detection system.
Turn on the life support system.
Turn on the control system of the naval gun weapon.
Turn on the drone's delivery system.
then……
And then nothing happened.
Because all systems are handled by intelligent and high-speed quantum master computers, which assist the captain and crew in mental control.
So now, Ender only needs to put on the mind-control helmet next to the captain's throne.
During actual combat.
The standard crew of this warship, in addition to the captain who is mainly responsible for drone combat, of course also includes a power monitoring and warship flight personnel, a ship gun control personnel, a communications personnel, and a personnel specifically responsible for drone deployment and daily maintenance.
That is, this is a standard, five-crew, 100-meter-class human drone bombardment carrier.
However, when the battle is not so intense, or when the personnel are not so sufficient. In fact, when there is only one captain, it does not mean that such a warship cannot be started and fought. Compared with a full crew of five people, the combat effectiveness is actually just slightly lower.
So the lack of human crew that Graf is worried about is not a problem.
It doesn't exist for Anna.
Because almost 90% of the work has been handed over to the shipboard computer.
So students like Ender from the superpower school can drive this kind of battleship like a car in just a few days.
Even if an ordinary human captain were to replace them, in fact, in addition to being extremely dependent on computers when operating drones, their combat capabilities are much weaker than those of superpowers. If the captain is only responsible for driving a warship, they will not need more than a few months of learning.
Chapter 429: 100-meter-class drone bombardment ship's combat readiness
"Will you come with us? Mai... uh, Vika..."
After the savior Ender put on the dark mental control helmet and began to check the operation of various systems in the battleship, Anna asked the beautiful girl next to her.
However, Mai Mai, who was now tightly wrapped in a space suit and an encapsulated helmet, did not answer. She just shook her head and stood a few steps behind Ander, motionless.
"Well...have a good time today..."
When Anna saw that Mai Mai had turned into Valenti again today and stood behind the Savior without saying a word, she knew that the little sister was silently caring for her younger brother again.
"Please, Colonel Graf!"
Anna turned around and began to explain to the somewhat embarrassed old colonel that the current situation was entirely the result of the old man's information control regulations and his Young Savior Plan: "I will introduce you one by one, the functions of this mass-produced warship..."
"Well, you saw the bridge just now... That's where the captain and all five crew members operate."
After arriving at a room, Anna said to Graf beside her, "This is a small space destroyer with a standard crew of only five people, so there is a lot of living space and personal space inside. This is their meeting room and lounge..."
"This is the armory. We have 100 secret force rifles and 5 sets of super armor that can survive in space for more than 10 hours."
"This is the personal space and bedroom for all passengers. Each one comes standard with a bathroom with a shower, and a 10-square-meter study..."
"This is the standard ship's kitchen. It can prepare and process any dish you can think of, as long as their cooking skills are up to par. Next to it is the food refrigeration warehouse and the greenhouse farm inside the battleship..."
As Anna said that food is fighting power, she opened the indoor farm next to the kitchen. Graf saw the smart greenhouse with shelves densely planted with lush green vegetables, and even two small orange trees at the door.
It seems that the battleship came off the production line just over ten minutes ago.
However, the battleship modules of this indoor farm had already been produced in a standard factory on Earth a month or two ago.
……
After walking through each room one by one, Anna brought Graf and the excited female professor to the combat section of the battleship.
In general.
After reaching the power and combat parts in the middle and rear part of the battleship.
The style of the entire battleship is no longer as friendly and soft as the living area.
All combat areas were physically isolated from the living quarters. There were no connecting doors between the cabins and the usual living quarters for the warship's crew. To enter, one had to use a space door opened on the wrist, and the interior was filled with a cold, mechanical feel and hard, straight metal elements.
While ensuring that even if the armor is penetrated, it will only affect the rear area of a single piece of armor, and will not affect the life support system and other compartments of the battleship, these cannons mounted on the outer shell of the combat part can also search for enemies and fire independently of the central main control computer. Even if one part is broken, the other artillery on the armor will not be affected.
In addition to the ship's more than 100 105MM and 45MM guns, and a 400MM main gun more than ten meters long at the front, the weapon system of the entire 100-meter-class drone gunnery ship is 1000 standard unmanned fighter jets docked in a space expansion warehouse.
In addition to these weapons, there are also the latest engines.
This level of destroyer also has a material warehouse that uses space expansion technology and a multi-functional warehouse that can be customized for special missions.
These warehouses and custom modules are located in the middle and rear section of the destroyer.
When needed, each battleship can transport about 10,000 tons of supplies, or after being converted into a multi-functional warehouse, it can transport about 1000 marines or the same number of space immigrants for interstellar colonization.
However, aside from one or two warships undergoing such modifications for testing, no other 100-meter-class destroyers have undergone similar functional modifications. This is because the ships humans will use to transport planetary marines and conduct space colonization will primarily be the hypersonic warships currently under construction, exceeding 2000 meters in length.
Because when a warship reaches more than 2000 meters, it will not only bring more space expansion cabins, making the crew's life more comfortable. After the space expansion technology is developed, a 2000-meter-long colony ship can be built with things like botanical gardens, shopping malls, bars, libraries, schools, kindergartens, swimming pools, etc.
Furthermore, the larger engines provided by the massive hulls, as well as the more powerful energy and power, allow those specialized troop transports and colony ships to have shields thicker than even 100-meter-class destroyers, faster-than-light speeds, and a more extensive network of built-in space gates than even smaller vessels...
This type of ship is not very flexible on the battlefield.
These large, specialized ships are a bit like the early propeller bombers humans had before World War II, which were superior to contemporary fighter planes in terms of speed and load capacity.
Of course, in addition to these professional ships used for transporting troops and colonization, there are also transport ships, medical ships, mineral mining ships, industrial manufacturing ships, repair ships, energy ships, and stargate ships that embody Anna's current best space technology, etc., a complete set of professional ships of the human technology system.
However, these specialized vessels, which were large and expensive, were not part of Anna's and her team's test ship mission. Besides, aside from the single Stargate ship that had been built, the other specialized vessels had not yet been completed...
……
When Anna took Graf and the female professor to open the space door from the combat section and return to the crew living area, the savior Ender had already started the spaceship and took off for more than half an hour.
The spacecraft is now on its way to the drone factory in the asteroid belt.
