Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 507
"Memphis, do you currently have any way to improve the combat effectiveness of mass-produced models?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Lan felt that the key point of this problem was to improve the strength of the transport fleet.

And this cannot get around improving the combat effectiveness of the mass-produced model.

At present, the White Eagle camp and the Jagged camp have basically obtained the oil supply from the United States of Oran, and the consumption of mass-produced oil is no longer a problem.

Therefore, he wanted to see if there was any way to improve the combat power of those mass-produced warships, so as to ensure the safety of the transport fleet.

If feasible, he can let the ship girls take turns to escort the transport fleet between the port area and Oran, just like how he dispatched a small fleet of ship girls in the previous games.

And his words also attracted Saratoga's interest. During this time, Little Gaga was also thinking about how to open up the transportation route. She looked at Lin Lan and understood that the commander must also be thinking about this issue.

"The combat power of the mass-produced model has been improved... Commander, it's not impossible, it's just..."

After listening to the question Lin Lan asked her, Memphis paused with hesitation on her face, then looked at little Lori Ingraham, who was standing beside her, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and said:

"Ingraham, show the commander the experimental file TA-031."

"Okay, Commander, look."

The little destroyer loli in a black and green coat took out the tablet from her pocket, tapped it twice, and handed it to Lin Lan.

After taking Ingraham's tablet, Lin Lan found that the name of the experimental file written on it was indeed a technology that relied on the Rubik's cube energy engine to overload and greatly improve the combat effectiveness of mass-produced warships in a short period of time.

But as Lin Lan read the experimental files, he soon discovered the most important problem.

Rubik's cube energy is good to say, he has seen in this file that the White Eagle camp has the technology to rely on the mental Rubik's cube to manufacture the Rubik's cube energy reactor, and the mental Rubik's cube that needs to be consumed is also within an acceptable range.

If they build a Rubik's Cube energy reactor on the artificial island, the Rubik's Cube energy produced will not only be enough for a mass-produced fleet, but it will not even be a problem to power the entire Oran.

But the problem is that once the mass-produced warship turns on the Rubik's Cube energy engine overload function, the durability of the engine will be greatly reduced.

If it is only turned on for a short period of time, it is okay to say, as long as the maintenance work is done before the engine is completely damaged, it will not be a problem.

But starting from the western continent of the United States of Oran, even if the ship's mother advances at full speed, it will take nearly half a month to reach the port area.

During this period, if there is no large harbor suitable for docking for maintenance, these mass-produced models will not be able to return to the port area smoothly.

What's more, if you fight the Sirens along the way, the mass-produced warships will definitely be attacked by the Siren fleet. These large-scale warships that look magnificent are the favorite living targets of the Siren executors.

"Commander, I have already read the TA-031 file. It seems that you have discovered the most critical problem."

Saratoga walked from her sister to Lin Lan's side, with a rare seriousness on her face.

"Sister Sarah and New Jersey have already analyzed it. If you want to use this technology to carry out oil transportation tasks in mass production, unless there is a base between our port area and the Oranxi mainland that can be used as a maintenance point."

"But unfortunately, we have already checked the charts with Bismarck and the others. There are no islands suitable for bases in this sea area."

"And even if there are islands suitable for building bases, it is difficult for us to ensure that the bases will not be breached by the Siren fleet. Even the iron-blooded floating island fortresses cannot do this."

After saying all this, Saratoga sighed a little sadly, and concluded:
"If it doesn't work, we can only use a stupid method to make up for the lack of combat power of the transport fleet by relying on the number of expeditions."

Listening to Saratoga's words, Lin Lan originally had no other options, but when he heard Little Gaga use the Iron-Blooded Floating Island Fortress as an example, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Wait, I figured out a way!"

His abrupt opening instantly attracted the surprised eyes of all the White Eagle girls.

Even Akashi, who was tied to the chair, raised his kitten ears and turned curiously.

Seeing that his girls were staring at him, Lin Lan didn't want to show off, with a smile on his face, he reached out and gently stroked little Jiajia's head, and said to the girls:
"Thanks to little Jiajia's reminder, I suddenly remembered a solution that can only be solved in this different world."

"When I was studying at the Hongye Naval Academy, I saw a large movable sea platform called the Ocean Fortress from the history textbook of the United States of Oran."

Hearing him mention this name, Memphis asked suspiciously:

"Global Fortress? Commander, I know the technology you are talking about, but according to the records of this country, the technology for making the Global Fortress is the same as that of Batian Mecha, and has been lost."

Princeton also held the baton in his hand, looked at Lin Lan and continued:

"Commander, Memphis is right."

The rigorous pink-haired white eagle light aviation girl stared at Lin Lan's face and recalled carefully:
"I have also seen the blueprints of the Goelia Consortium in the Fortress of the World. It is undeniable that this large mobile offshore platform can indeed be used as a mass-produced maintenance base, and it can effectively avoid the attack of the Siren fleet."

"However, the United States of Oran has given up building the World Ocean Fortress for at least a hundred years. Even the finished products have been destroyed in the war with the Natlan Empire, and the wreckage has not been recovered yet."

Having said that, Princeton looked at Lin Lan who was in deep thought and continued to explain patiently:
"Commander, this super-large facility needs to apply a lot of unique mechanical technology, material science and energy science that only belong to this different world country. If we want to develop and manufacture the Ocean Fortress, no kidding, it can be said that we have to start from scratch."

Princeton is not pouring cold water on Lin Lan, Lin Lan understands that his ship girl is also seeking truth from facts.

After all, they are outsiders who came to Oran from other worlds. Unlike the sirens who have already arrived, they have not been in the United States of Oran for a long time.

Whether it is Batian Mecha or Universal Fortress, it is a cutting-edge technology developed by Oran civilization based on its own accumulation of thousands of years. It is obviously unrealistic to master it so quickly.

But the corner of Lin Lan's mouth... showed a slight smile.

"Princeton, you are right. If we rely solely on us to develop and manufacture the Ocean Fortress, it will definitely consume a lot of time and energy."

Lin Lan looked at the White Eagle Qinghang girl standing shoulder to shoulder with Memphis in front of him, and said with a smile:
"But why don't we let the Oran people rely on their own strength to re-develop and manufacture the Ocean Fortress?"

Hearing his words, not only Memphis, Princeton and the others were stunned, but even Little Gaga's eyes showed a sudden realization.

Commander is right!
The reason why the United States of Oran lost the technology of the World Ocean Fortress and Batian Mecha, apart from the previous Siren blockade, the most important reason is that the consortiums do not share technology with each other.

They already knew this in the process of gathering information when they first came to Oran.

A hundred years ago, in order to restore the people's livelihood and economy from the century-old war with the Natlan Empire as quickly as possible, the United States of Oran let the financial groups compete with each other and provided a lot of support.

But with the rise of the five major consortiums, these five major consortiums have monopolized most of the technology and resources, and the former government of Oran was restrained by these five major consortia.

Many cutting-edge technologies have been divided up by the five major consortiums, making the overall technological level of the United States of Oran stagnant.

But now, except for the Tianxing consortium and the Noah Dexin consortium, which are still controlled by the Siren, all of these five major consortiums have been in the hands of the commander.

When they and the commander take down the headquarters of the Tianxing Consortium in Huanyang City, at that time, the entire United States of Oran will be formally integrated into a brand new country.

A country that only obeys the command of the commander and serves the port area.
