Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 467 The Necessity of Expansion

Less than a year has passed since Violet Island returned to the Federation.Therefore, most of the factories on the island are still under construction, and only a small number of parts factories that need to supply the Malan Island Shipyard have been completed early.

There is still a certain gap between the anti-aircraft weapons designed by Brand and the anti-aircraft guns carried by the ship girls. Of course, the gap does not include Bismarck's hand-pulled chicken. This kind of anti-aircraft weapon cannot even knock down swordfish. No wonder Will always be hacked.

Speaking of Swordfish, the Royal Navy's Swordfish is a magical aircraft. At least on the Atlantic battlefield, what it did was worthy of the title of Swordfish with a broken leg.

Under the leadership of Colorado, Huang Jiang continuously visited the manufacturing factory of the Sea Soul Mothership and related ship accessories.Most of them were not organized by Huang Jiang, but were factories brought over by Stoll's connections.Although Jialan collar is trying to achieve complete autonomy, technology is not something that can be independent if you want to be independent. Almost all the manufacturing powerhouses in history started from copycats. No one is more noble than anyone else. , to be said to be noble, is just to wash yourself cleanly after taking control of the right to speak.

Although Huangjiang has great ambitions, there is no way to achieve such an astonishing feat of leading the way in technology in just a few years.Take the Sea Soul Mothership as an example. Except for the hull structure and materials, as well as Nikola's power system, most of the other equipment follows the technology of Carnation Ling. There are innovations in small details, but the technical ideas are not the same. Not much new stuff.

The same goes for most of the factories on Violet Island. Most of the things they produce are based on the drawings of the Carnation Shipyard and are produced with minor changes. For those that are a little more extreme, they even just change the signatures on the drawings and add a few more typos. Steel seal.

Of course, Huang Jiang couldn't get Carnation's technology to lead the bottom of the box.After Huang Jiang returned from Lanhuadan Island, he used the power system of the first-generation Sea Soul Mothership to exchange a large amount of resource ship technology with the governor of the Carnation Territory, almost bringing back the Federation's largest ship technology in a package.

He knew that there must be next-generation technology in Carnation Collar, but what he had in hand was technology that had already been proven.There is no huge benefit to both parties from this exchange. The most important part of the power system of the Sea Soul Mothership is its generator. Because it needs to carry as many resources as possible, this space-occupying equipment must be as small as possible.

However, if Carnation takes the lead and lets the Sea Soul Mothership only appear as a supply platform, and the task of transporting resources is handed over to a large number of resource ships at the back, then this kind of miniaturization is actually unnecessary.

Huang Jiang has reason to believe that they will do this. Castration is what arms dealers are best at. Once they do this, customers who buy the Sea Soul Mothership from the Carnation Territory must also purchase the matching resource ship from there. In this way If so, the benefits will definitely be maximized.

On the Huangjiang side, although there are still several difficulties in the resource ship's power system that have not been broken through, this is a mature thing. The old engineers on Malan Island more or less know the principles involved and can dismantle each part one by one. After a few years of exploring parts, we can always figure out this technology. After all, the sale of resource ships is not prohibited.

The reason why Huangjiang handed over the drawings of the generator was originally to obtain the parliamentary vote of the Carnation Leader. The resource ship was considered a gift, and it was unexpected to receive a complete set of power system drawings.Of course, this thing is considered top secret in Carnation Territory, so there is another condition for this transaction. Carnation Territory cannot sell the brand new Sea Soul Mothership to other parties.

It is obvious that Carnation Ling intends to do this as its own business.Huang Jiang has no idea to participate in the competition in this market. Jialan's Sea Soul Mothership must be given priority to its own ship girls. There will be no idle time for productivity in the next few years. You must know that Huang Jiang's hand There are hundreds of ship girls on board, and they have all been summoned. Even if it is a group of 12 people for supply, the demand for the Sea Soul Mothership is still quite large.

"They're all old things..." After walking around, Huang Jiang frowned a little. The equipment produced in front of him was simply a copy of the blueprint of the carnation collar, and most of the equipment was used to support resource ships. It is not consistent with the compatibility of the Violet. It is no wonder that after the launch of the Iliao Island, the research and development of the Violet was somewhat stagnant.

"According to Mr. Stohr." Reputation is now on Malan Island, so she is fully aware of the difficulties encountered by the shipyard. "The biggest problem now is the power system of the Violet, which was originally used on standard resource ships. Although the power system of the Violet can also be used, due to the larger tonnage and higher requirements of the Violet, the speed cannot meet the requirements." "This is also expected." Huang Jiang sighed, no matter where the power system is placed , are technologies that continue to make breakthroughs. Whether it is a gas turbine or a steam turbine, the most important thing now is to increase the power of the Violet. If it is equipped with a steam turbine like the Iris that uses standard resource ship power, the speed of the Violet will continue It is difficult to keep up with the ship mother troops in the state of economic speed.

This is definitely not possible.

"Fortunately, the number of motherships we currently have is sufficient." Shengsheng said.

Huang Jiang also nodded, but he did not dare to relax, at least until he found the resource island that originally belonged to Edelweiss Collar, he could not stop his expansion.Without the ability to provide self-sufficient resources, stopping would undoubtedly put one's neck into the hands of the tulip collar.

Although Jialan Ling is currently still affiliated with Tulip Ling, neither Huang Jiang nor Jian Niang will let this status be maintained for a long time.

From the perspective of the ship girls, to give a similar example, they have had enough of the idiot governor over in the port area.

From Huang Jiang's perspective, it means letting the planning go as far as it can go.Although Milton has not issued any order to Huang Jiang so far, both parties know that Milton has the power to do so. Although Huang Jiang can choose whether to execute it or not, once he fails to execute it, Milton will It's justifiable to suppress yourself.

Just like Milton is now imposing a mining tax on Cycad Island. Although Cycad Island is nominally the territory of Huangjiang, Huangjiang is also nominally a subordinate of Milton. This behavior is an overstep, but it is not excessive. Looking at the entire federation, no one would blame a governor for such a "little thing."

At present, Huangjiang has not touched Milton's cake, so Tulip is relatively restrained.Once Kejialan continues to expand, it will definitely touch the interests of the Kenna family.

If there is no resource island of its own by then, it is almost certain that the Tulip Territory will block the resource supply channel.

Huangjiang must make plans first.

The person who can make the gentle Erich say: "The Kenner family are all a bunch of trash, but these people are stealing from your mother." Such a person is definitely not a good person.
