From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 303 Project 08 Battleship

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk. I really thought this company was your 'life's work'?"

Nick Leeson leaned back in his chair leisurely and looked at the electronic ink paper in his hand. After receiving everyone's anonymous email, he skillfully converted it into a form and sent it to this paper. .

"A total of 20 company executives voted, and as a result, only two people truly regarded this company as their 'lifelong effort,' and the remaining 18 people chose to take their money and leave."

"You guys! What do you think of the company?! Is it a commodity that can be traded at will?!"

The human resources director who just expressed his dissatisfaction directly cursed at other people in the conference room.

'What a hard-working performance.'

Nick Leeson commented silently in his heart.

Although everyone sent anonymous emails, Nick Leeson knew that the emotional human resources director 100% chose to take the money and leave.

The old people who had been around longer than him didn't express their opinions, so he yelled first.

The remaining part was used by him to purchase the use rights of a piece of land from the autonomous government on the Nino-5 planet where the Cornerstone No. Industrial Space City belongs to his hometown, and then farmed it for retirement. .

"I hope you will be able to give a final answer in two days."

They had long seen through the performance of the human resources director, and originally thought of letting it go, but who knew that this guy directly scolded them, but now they really couldn't bear it.

After Milton walked out of the company building for the last time, as the 'Atlas' LOGO lit up, it also meant that this shipbuilding company had officially become another subsidiary of the Atlas Group.

Nick Leeson stood up and walked toward the door, accompanied by two Roma bodyguards.

When the conference room became quiet, he looked at Nick Leeson calmly and said:
"Mr. Nick, I hope you can give us more time to discuss internally. If possible, we will give a reply in 2 days."

However, Nick Leeson didn't bother to expose him, and it was not his turn to take action. Soon, a real old man from Poseidon Shipbuilding Company reprimanded him.

"I hope Atlas can be the best destination for you."

After saying this, Milton left here without looking back.

50% of the company's middle and low-level administrative clerks chose to leave with 'N+3' compensation, while the remaining 50% chose to stay in Poseidon after transferring to another position, or go to other subsidiaries of the Atlas Group. company.

What's more, it is ridiculous for a director in charge of human resources to seem to be so desperate to keep the company.

He gave 7% of the huge compensation given to him by Atlas to the retired employees of Poseidon to help them improve their lives.

Needless to say, the result was that the company executives of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company finally chose to take their money and leave.

In the end, it was the current president Milton who stopped this farce from continuing.

"Of course, no problem. Let's discuss it, gentlemen."

These company executives are like playing "Werewolf". While attacking others, they spare no effort to defend themselves, saying that they are the ones who really stick to the bottom line.

Soon, the conference room fell into a fierce quarrel.

If there is a chance in the future, Milton might come back to see how 'Poseidon' will develop in the future.
-
With a small group of people from the Atlas Group headquarters, along with several hosts hosting Lilith's clones and a bunch of autonomous operation and maintenance robots, they entered the former 'Poseidon Shipbuilding' and now 'Atlas Shipbuilding' 'After the headquarters building.

This shipbuilding company has officially completed a blood change.

The headquarters building, which was originally used for administrative staff, became almost empty on every floor after 90% of the company's administrative clerk positions were eliminated. After Amber learned about this situation, he simply concentrated the offices of all design groups, business development and other departments on the third floor, and converted the remaining floors into fitness, entertainment, food, learning and hotel-style rest areas.

Employees of Atlas can use these areas for free during non-working hours (after get off work every day, weekends and holidays) with their employee cards.

Employees of other companies in this Cornerstone No. 5 Industrial Space City can also come and enjoy the services here, but they need to pay.

For a time, this shipbuilding company acquired by Atlas Group became the most watched company in the Cornerstone 5 Industrial Space City.

Employees of other companies looked at their treatment and were extremely jealous.

Almost within the first week after the renovation of the building was completed, Lilith received 'job hopping' applications from employees of other companies in this industrial space city.
By the way, there are currently 5 shipyards of various types in the Cornerstone 42 Industrial Space City.

There are 12 giant and large shipyards capable of building battleships and heavy cruisers, and Poseidon Shipbuilding Company owns 6 of them - 3 giant and 3 large.

This is also because the company's previous business was mainly large and ultra-large cargo ships.

And this configuration is considered cheaper for Atlas. With the skilled workers working continuously, the shipyard here can start building 3 battleships and 3 heavy cruisers at the same time.

The only problem is that when the shipyards and skilled workers are fully utilized, the construction speed may be much slower than starting one or two shipyards alone.

However, with the addition of Lilith as the 'project management core', it can still significantly increase the construction speed of the entire shipyard.

Thus realizing Amber's wish to 'build a queue'.

Moreover, these shipyards can still be separated from the industrial satellite city, that is, they can be packaged and taken away by Atlas to the Lubion system to start production of capital ships 'legally'.

The last point is also the most critical point.

That is, what kind of warship is started to be built?
Although Poseidon's technical workers have built many very large cargo ships and are not lacking in experience in manufacturing large ships, they still have to provide them with a complete and operable blueprint.

At this time, a certain design team of the company, realizing that this might be their 'only chance in this life', submitted a blueprint of a battleship they had designed in their spare time.

Project 08 - Battleship
The total length is 3200 meters and the total mass is 2820 million tons.

The main gun is 30 battleship-level heavy particle cannons arranged at the bow of the ship.

Other attached armaments are 26 electromagnetic reconnection cannons arranged along the hull and 30 high-power charged particle cannons.

As for the high-energy laser turret, in the eyes of these designers, it is only allocated to this battleship as a close-defense weapon.

At the same time, they also retain 500 multifunctional missile/plasma torpedo silos.

According to them, after entering the engagement battle, the killing effect of missiles and plasma torpedoes has actually been ignored by many people.

In fact, if a plasma torpedo can successfully hit, it will be extremely lethal to all types of ships in service. Especially after hitting the main propulsion array at the stern of the ship, it will easily cause plasma chaos and shut down the entire power system. .

In addition, this 'Project 08' battleship can also carry 7 squadrons with a total of 70 shipborne HCPs for combat.
Among the current human military ships, Project 08 can enter the "first echelon" in terms of length, volume, and quality. In terms of various data, it has basically equalized the most cutting-edge "Kigan II" and "Requiem" of the Federation and the Empire. The Zhe'-class battleship can be said to be at its peak when it debuts.

But Amber looked at this battleship that was famous even in its previous life. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and sent a new message to the design team.

"The design is good, but it's not radical enough. Come up with your most radical plan so far."
