Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 101 The idea of ​​the Sea Soul Mothership

In the afternoon, Huangjiang arrived at Old Port.

The fishing boat renovated by Nicholas is quietly moored there.Before leaving, Huang Jiang used the merchant alliance's debt mortgage to purchase an old armed renovation equipment.This is a device that is more than 30 years old. The spray paint on the surface has begun to peel off due to bumps and bumps, exposing the silver-gray metal inside. However, these metals have not rusted, or in other words, 30 years is not enough time for them to rust. , It is indeed a product of advanced civilization.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, 30 years is considered the twilight years of a machine. Although it can still be used, it is no longer worth the high price.

The experimental boat was still in its initial testing stage. Due to time constraints, Nikola simply installed the equipment on the fishing boat without considering the installation space, comfort and the beauty of the hull. For this reason, he installed the equipment on the fishing boat. The structure of the fishing boat was completely remodeled.Because the equipment was too large to be accommodated in the cabin, it could only be placed on the deck, exposed to the air. But even so, the original location of the fishing boat was still not enough, so Nikola demolished almost everything except the fishing boat. Only the basic control room is left in the superstructure, and the entire deck is used to place this equipment. This makes the current ship look bare from a distance, and the armed renovation equipment on it looks very abrupt.

The generator was placed in the cabin. Due to lack of space, Nikola gave up several sealed cabins, which made the safety performance of the ship very insufficient. All this needs to be improved in subsequent rectifications.

Although there are huge flaws in the current ship repairs, this is indeed a real first step. As long as you take the first step, the road ahead will be much easier.

Huang Jiang followed Nicholas onto the ship.Because the space left for him in the hull was too small, the power to drive the generator could not be used in the previous way. Nikolai temporarily used an enlarged internal combustion engine to drive it directly, which made the energy efficiency ratio of the generator very low. Such poor efficiency made Nicholas, who pursued perfection, feel very embarrassed. When he visited the machine in Huangjiang, he kept talking about it and asked him to just give him a little more time.

Huang Jiang believed in Nikolai's ability, but the reality forced him to let this semi-finished product go directly to the battlefield: "Can this ship run the repair equipment now?"

After hearing Huang Jiang's question, Nicholas was stunned for a moment, and then gave an affirmative answer:
can.

"But the safety of the ship is worrying, and it cannot support even a slight fluctuation." Nicholas said frankly, "After all, it is too much for a fishing ship to pack an armed repair equipment, a generator and an internal combustion engine. It’s barely possible, besides the power of the fishing boat itself.”

Because of the above reasons, the speed of this ship has dropped to a shameful speed. It is only a little faster than a sailboat and it is an ordinary sailboat. It is beyond the reach of those special racing sailboats.

Huang Jiang shook his head and said: "At this stage, I don't need speed, I just need to be able to move. I just need a place in the sea where the sea soul can replenish resources. But this problem must be rectified in the future, I don't want Restoration ships drag down the speed of the entire fleet."

Huang Jiang touched the renovation equipment on the ship, and the cold metal texture stimulated his skin. He continued: "The problem of energy efficiency ratio is slowly changing. No matter how low it is, it cannot consume more resources than the sea soul running back and forth at full speed, right? ?”

Nicholas said it depends on the distance.

Huang Jiang shrugged and said, "The point is not resources, but time."

Then he looked at the blue sky and said, "How long will it take for a full test?"

"At least a month."

"It's too long. Basic stability tests and safety tests will be carried out first, and other tests will be carried out directly in actual combat." Huang Jiang said.

"What do you mean...?" Nicholas was a little surprised. "What I mean is that the problem of Iris Island should be solved." After discovering Iris Island, Huang Jiang continued to reveal to the outside world his will to take back the island, which can bring powerful influence to the islanders. The sense of security will also attract more capital to settle in Jialan Island. However, verbal promotion has its limit after all. It is time for Huangjiang to take this step.

"Toles." Huang Jiang suddenly turned around and said to Thors behind him, "Do you know the shipyard that sells cargo ships?"

Thors replied confidently: "Of course I do. I have a few good buddies who work in the shipyard. I wonder how big of a cargo ship you want to buy, Deacon?"

"The bigger, the better." Huang Jiang said, "But there is no need to customize it. Just buy a universal model. I need it for modification experiments."

"Do you want to put more refurbishment equipment on the ship?" Towers exclaimed, "Generally speaking, one unit is enough, right?"

"I don't want to guard my home all the time." Huang Jiang said with a smile, "In the future, if I break into the lair of Xifeng Drifting, one piece of equipment will not be enough to supply my sea soul."

"The structure of a cargo ship may not necessarily be able to support the vibrations when multiple renovation equipment are operated together." Nicholas reminded.

"Then change the structure."

Huang Jiang naturally knows that as someone who has experienced modern technology, he knows very well that the prerequisite for all technology is materials. Therefore, as early as the early days of Jiagang's establishment, Huang Jiang asked Kaleji to set up a steel research institute at his own expense. The team specializes in the research and development of special steel and alloy materials.The investment in R&D was not at 01:30, but fortunately, Luwei Flower Collar’s ​​order received a lot of dividends, and Huang Jiang invested all of it.

And this research team has another research goal, which is to study alternative alloys for aluminum.This is Huangjiang's preparation plan for the worst-case scenario. If the legendary tea island cannot be found in the vast sea, then this project is the only hope for Huangjiang, an aircraft carrier player.

"This ship is just the beginning." Huang Jiang looked at the sea and said slowly, "My goal is to create a ship that can carry dozens of armed repair equipment and can follow behind the Sea Soul Troops in wartime to meet the three requirements. A ship with more than ten Sea Soul supply requirements. In this case, Sea Soul can break away from the shackles of the island and be able to attack more deeply. I want to call it the Sea Soul Mothership. With it, even if it is far away from the island Cross-ocean strikes against mirages can also be done easily.”

"This is basically impossible." Thors was shocked but also said very clearly, "Even the largest cargo ship in the Federation cannot transport thirty pieces of armed repair equipment at one time. That thing is too heavy. "

"That's why we have to try it bit by bit." Huang Jiang stepped on the deck, "Start with one first."

Huang Jiang patted the edge of the boat, feeling that he had finally done something like a time traveler, and he was deeply moved.

At this moment, a black figure jumped out of the sea and jumped into the arms of the Huangjiang River with the rising sea water.

"Ah! Sir, are you startled by my sudden appearance~"
