Monster Factory

Upgrading to phase VII, the number of workers available for recruitment at the monster factory doubled to 640.

Prior to that, 320 monster places had been recruited by Ye Qing and put into factory production. The factory pipeline was also built on the basis of the quota of monster workers, and now the quota has doubled, but Ye Qing temporarily recruited only two wild giants, and eighteen monsters, to put into trial production of new products.

The Dragon Creek Beach factory at night is like a bright pearl blooming on the Zhongyun City coastline.

Centered on the moonlit rough mountain above the basement base, there are more than three kilometres of land on the left and right sides, situated in a large and tidy factory building. Here the lights are like brilliant stars in the Milky Way, the stars Romeib around the factory and on the side of the road, more shooting lights on the rough mountains, 360 degrees without any dead spots, sweeping across every piece of factory land.

Here, apart from the torpedo car production center, the most magnificent sealed boat platforms are just a few by the sea.

It is close to fifteen stories high, and a third of it is also built in sea water. Two steel gates by the sea have pushed the limits of people's perception of the door.

Of course, those two iron doors were not reserved for people. Ye Qing walked in through the maintenance corridor and saw two wild spirits of mountainous stature carefully wiping the hull with a “rag” that he didn't know where to draw from. In front of them, 20,000 tons of humpback whales, just a van.

But in front of Ye Qing, the humpback whale is a steel island, or steel fortress.

Its overall shape is diamond-shaped polyhedrons, which differ widely from the narrow hulls of ordinary civilian vessels. If you look from above, it's more like an armoured assault truck that magnifies countless times, or a future tank without a turret.

The smaller the area where the hull is in contact with the water, the less resistance the vessel is able to sail.

If this supermassive ship floats on the surface like a regular ship, I'm afraid most of the power will have to be used to counteract sea water resistance.

Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary ship, it is a nuclear powered ship with a maximum speed of over 130 knots of "air cushion” alloy giant ships.

With the most advanced nuclear power unit applications in the world, two electromagnetic engines with a total power of 400,000 kilowatts rely on ultra-supercritical generator units, emitting power close to two Nimitz-class carriers.

It is also 30 knots higher than the initial projected speed of 100 knots.

Standing in front of this giant ship over 100 meters long, Ye Qing feels a technological aesthetic that breaks the limits of heavy industrial manufacturing.

If someone has seen a large pelagic ship, or a large warship, at close range. You will find that the ships that were originally seen in the picture are not as powerful as they are in the picture. The bigger the ship, the more it looks like...

The more like a "building block” covered in iron leather, the crater depressed above the entire hull, the more clearly visible the contours of the dragonbone compartment, without any aesthetic.

Insiders always call it Master Jin's craftsmanship, but the outsiders can't figure out why, like frigates, destroyers, even aircraft carriers, these represent important ships of the highest industrial and technological standards in a country, how can they not even weld their hulls?

In fact, this can't be blamed on the shipmasters' golden craftsmanship.

Leather balls are a very common example of what we do very often. But good leather balls are stitched together in a piece of leather.

Because the ball is a quadratic surface, a whole planar piece of leather cannot make a spherical surface. Many small planes can only be combined to approximate the spherical surface, and the smaller the plane, the closer the combined shape is.

Likewise, the giant wheel that we see is the same principle.

The outline of a giant wheel is far more complex than a spherical surface, and it is also the largest physical product that human industry can manufacture.

A ship's enclosure, made of countless pieces of marine steel spliced together, these original horizontal steel plates need to be processed in one piece to change their original shape according to the contours of the gigantic wheel's enclosure.

Our human naked eye is able to recognize accuracy errors up to one-fifth of a millimeter. The human eye can recognize over 40 million pixels.

However, the processing and forming of complex curved steel plates has always been a global industrial problem.

Until now, CNC large and complex curved steel plate forming equipment is a heavy weapon that countries keep secret. At the same time, machining accuracy is often claimed to be less than one millimeter, and in actual machining, the error is mostly greater than one millimeter.

In the face of these data, modern industrial technology, trying to process countless pieces of marine steel into the naked eye without discerning precision errors, is simply impossible.

Not to mention the deformation of complex curved steel plates during transport installation and thermal deformation during welding after machining.

So, the most intuitive way to judge the technical capability of a shipyard is to see if the pits and depressions they create are too severe?

If it were too serious, the propaganda of the shipyard would blow again, and it would certainly be a half-changing barrel, and the interior of the ship would not do any good.

Good for the overall strength of a ship, not by these shell steel plates. Instead, look at the internal dragonbone structure, so the enclosure pit does not really affect the ship's performance.

However, standing next to the humpback super gigantic wheel, Ye Qing appreciates another very different industrial aesthetic.

Over 10,000 alloy modular forgings welded into the humpback whale number, regardless of the angle of Ye Qing's past, there will always be only “smooth”, "smooth”, “horizontal”.

It's like a polyhedral hull made up of a mirror, more like a craft to the limit, with no marine engineer coming, and no angular error.

The stretched line seems to break the bow angle of everything.

At the top of the humpback of the humpback, there is even a diamond-like black mirrored polyhedron device.

It is the secret weapon of the Whale.

Ye Qing walked into the inside of the humpback whale along a retractable member tunnel located in one side of the cabin.

A white industrial world, displayed in front of Ye Qing. The dark humpback whale interior, whether cabin walls or floors, is painted in white.

It is very easy for ordinary people to get lost in the sense of space and direction here, and of course the humpback does not host ordinary people.

Ye Qing walks 10 meters through a watertight door with automatic closing function. Each watertight door represents a watertight compartment.

At the same time, on both sides of the tunnel, a grille mesh will be extended, any watertight compartment will unfortunately enter the water, and pipe loss equipment inside the grille mesh will quickly drain sea water out of the compartment.

All circuits here are also waterproof, as small as a switch and a single illumination light, as large as a lubricant pump, air compressor and centralized control of the distribution board.

Ye Qing walked the light car familiar road here. After passing more than twenty watertight doors and climbing an escalator over five floors in height, Ye Qing came to the cockpit of the humpback whale.

In the cockpit, unlike any ship.

Standing here, overlooking the entire back of the Whale, you can also see clearly the four cargo hold caps above the back of the ship and the two giant steel gates blocking the bow.

By opening the front door, the humpback whale can sail the ocean and amaze the world.
