==========
A04 Floating Dockyard is a group of large docks located in A04. It has the largest dock with a design tonnage of 5000 tons. Of course, for the current largest Pengzu floating ship, which is only 1000 tons, this dock is only a laying ground for future development. It’s just the foundation of the building, and what’s staying in it now are the civilian airships that are being built.

At the beginning, the Pengzu was quite idealistic about the arrangement for the construction of the airship.

The high-level control personnel did not ask the front-line technicians, so they presumptuously concentrated the design, manufacturing, and maintenance departments of the floating ship on the No. A14 floating island where the floating power design department was located.

However, when this group of leaders visited the shipyard that was about to be relocated, a maintenance worker gave a bloody head: "If the spaceship is broken, how do you send it to A14? If there is something wrong with A14 The question is, is it true that the entire friend clan will stop building spaceships?"

In fact, these high-level executives are quite wronged. They only follow the advice of the elders' house to concentrate these technologies and strengthen their development capabilities. Now, there is a very simple "eggs can't be put in one basket" principle. To crush.

Although the high-level people also quibble that they can use Yinshen level transportation, but that is just a joke.

So soon, the planning department re-analyzed and found out that there were many unrealistic aspects of the three-way plan, and then carried out rectification under the supervision of the elders' house, and at the same time mobilized a large number of people from the front line to the planning team to prepare for future plans. Perfection helps a lot.

Afterwards, Pengzu revised the plan, and while A14 was used as a development zone for mechanical technology (taking into account pumice power), it also designed and built a 2000-ton dock, a 1000-ton dock, and three 3-ton docks on each territorial island. The shipyard, and later each territory island, is equipped with a small ship modification department.

The floating shipyard of A04 was established at that time.

"Because A04 is the administrative center of our family, it can be expected that there will be a lot of spaceships entering and leaving in the future. Of course, the number of spaceships entering and exiting is a problem of the airport. We don't need to say more, but if the number of entering and exiting is too large, there will inevitably be some bumps. Therefore, the future maintenance work of the shipyard will obviously be a bit severe, so we have built a larger number and scale of shipyards than usual."

"..."

In the beehive-like shipyard, the Yiren employee as the reception staff was introducing the situation of the shipyard while leading Kong Huan and others to the interior of the shipyard, but the worker's language application was obviously a bit speechless.

'It's inevitable to bump and bump', although the fact is true, after all, the number is too large, even if the probability remains the same, the number of problems will inevitably increase, but why does this sound uncomfortable?It seems as if there is something wrong with the spaceship and it will be sent to the shipyard for repair.

At this time, the three of them obviously had such thoughts in their hearts, so that the eyes of the three of them looked at the employees a little strangely, but the workers continued to talk without knowing it.

"Although we haven't increased the number of docks much, we plan to increase the number of maintenance workers and their technical level for future hull development. However, the population problem of our family is relatively serious, and most of the people on the island have their own jobs. , the Dunjia people and Yueling people can't go to the island for the time being, and there will be no more shipyard workers in a while."

"Therefore, we can only further improve the theoretical level of existing workers and their practical ability to expand the soft power of the shipyard."

Stopping outside the opening of a large factory building, the workers proudly pointed to the second largest dock (04 tons) marked with 'A02-2000 Dock, 2000T', and asked expectantly: "What's inside this The experimental spacecraft that you sent over some time ago, Elder Void, is now in the late stage of maintenance. The main reason is that the design department is discussing how to improve the "overload problem of the magnetic field power engine". Do you want to go see it now?"

"Let's see, anyway, this time it's just a stroll."

In fact, Void also has a mission, but it is not that urgent, and the previous magnetic field spaceship is indeed related to my mission. It is the main power engine of the future floating ship - the experimental ship of the magnetic field engine. This time I have harvested so much data. , a great opportunity to formally promote the technical improvement of the whole family of engines.

As a result, the group quickly passed the inspection of the guards and entered the large factory building.

Because the floating ship is not a ship floating in the water, it has the word 'ship', but it is actually more like an airplane, so there is nothing related to the ship in the factory building, and the entire dock looks more like a human being. The world's largest aircraft manufacturing plant.

The huge cigar-shaped spaceship was currently standing in the center of the workshop, with hundreds of workers revolving around it, and there seemed to be a bunch of technicians discussing something around it at the bottom of the ship.

"Go and have a look."

A large number of brackets connect the various layers of the tens of meters high spaceship. During this period, the light of electric welding shines, which makes the small number of people in the workshop show a trace of busyness. The feeling of going to work in a factory of a large company. (PS: I was still a student when I was a fantasy human being, ga.)
"Li Gong, three elders have come over to see how Jianyu is doing."

"Ah, oh, elder, welcome."

Although he said words of welcome verbally, the technician obviously didn't have any intention of stopping. At this time, he was still holding the line in his hand carefully, discussing with the technicians around him, and thinking about some problems.

Patting the worker who brought him in lightly, Kong Huan shook his head, then retreated a little distance and said: "Just find someone who is familiar with the situation and has nothing to do."

"Don't bother people who are busy. Many times, when your thoughts are disturbed, it is difficult to recover. If you lose some important inspiration, there is no place to cry." Seeing the workers in the factory, he even felt a sense of intimacy.

"Han Huan, there are actually two places you are most suitable for." 8051 interrupted suddenly.

Dazed for a moment, Kong Huan looked at 8051, and Dark Blood also looked at him strangely.

"These two places, one is the research department..."

Kong Huan nodded, and Dark Blood hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"The other is the spiritual leader of the friends, referred to as the mascot."

"Pfft!" Kong Huan was shocked, and Anxue nodded violently.

Seeing that the empty fantasy has a tendency to go berserk, 8051 decisively changed the subject.

"Speaking of it is illusory, according to the report submitted by Lingyue and the others, the hull of the floating ship is too fragile, and the enemy's attack is almost knocked down by a single shot. Isn't it good to use floating ships to fight?"

"Cut, what a messed up mascot." He gave 8051 a dissatisfied look, and said empty-handedly, "As for the results of the battle, that's because the civilian airships have wooden shells."

Shaking his head, Kong Huan looked up at the magnetic field spaceship, which was also carved in wood. Except for the magnetic field engine wrapped on the shell of the hull like claws, the design of the entire spaceship is actually the same as other airships: steel skeleton, wood Made of shell, side windows, double bridges, pumice energy tanks in sections.

Because at the time of design, people did not expect to encounter bugs so soon, and the other races of Double Moon Star did not have any races that could threaten the existing airships. To deal with creatures like pterosaurs in the sky, you only need to A small amount of 20mm guns on the ship is sufficient, even epic creatures can fight.

Therefore, when these floating ships designed for the double moon star suddenly encounter the universe-level Zerg, they will be so vulnerable.

Of course, the Peng family is a family that can sum up experience very well. After receiving the report from the front line, various design bureaus suspended all the design of steel-framed wood-hull ships and turned to research and development of steel-hulled floating ships.

These are all unknown to Darkblood and 8051 who have just returned to the Friends Clan.

"Elder, this Jean designer can explain it to you."

"Ah, very good," nodded, Kong Huan turned his head to look at the calm technician aside, and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you later, please explain to us the problem of the ship's transformation, and provide technical information for the technical bureau. technical opinion."

"Yes."

As he suddenly upgraded from an electric car designer to an airship design designer, Gene is obviously different from those crew members who were limited by self-thinking when they transferred from surface ship design to airship design. Therefore, he often , can provide good advice for shipyard designers.

For example, the landing bracket of the floating boat, the flat bottom of the floating boat, and even the design of the bottom hatch are all led by this technician.

"Jianyu 01A magnetic field-powered spaceship, due to the output problem of the magnetic field engine technology, if the energy controlled by the driver is too high, it will easily lead to the appearance of explosive speed, and damage to the engine and hull caused by overload, and may even cause short circuit fires, etc. dangerous situation, so we addressed this problem first by adding an overload limiter to it..."

Leading everyone to fly to a steel wire of the magnetic field engine on the left side of the spacecraft hull, Gene pointed to a wire that was obviously newer than the surrounding wires and said: "This is where the wire that was short-circuited before has been replaced by us... ..."

Following this route, everyone moved forward all the way, and finally stopped at an area where the wooden shell was removed, exposing the internal circuit. Judging from the number of routes, this should be regarded as a core area.

"Here is directly connected to the cockpit, and we have equipped it with an automatic overload test circuit, which is called an 'overload controller'. The calcium carbide crystal structure in this controller will dissipate heat when it senses energy exceeding a certain level, and the side The thermal element of the sensor will then connect a circuit, which will activate the energy limiter."

"Under this structure, it is only necessary to set the output of the energy circuit. No matter how much control energy the pilot outputs, the energy provided by the spaceship's energy tank will not exceed this overload limit."

"That is to say, as long as this switch is turned on, the spaceship will not be short-circuited due to overload, and the speed will not exceed that dangerous value?" Kong Huan asked.

"That's true," nodded approvingly. Gene obviously didn't know that when Void was a human, he learned automation. His theoretical knowledge in this area is not weaker than him, but he just couldn't integrate with the world where his friends live.

However, the versatility of some design concepts can be used by the illusion after a little modification: "Researcher Jin, please see if there is such a situation: the control of the magnetic field spacecraft is the pilot output 'control energy'; According to the size of the driver's "control energy", the corresponding "power energy" of the spacecraft is provided; and the engine is under the supply of "power energy", and drives the magnetic field engine to generate a "deflection magnetic field" to fly in the planet's magnetic field."

"And this overload controller is to control the maximum value of the crew's 'control energy' output, so as to avoid overloading the engine?"

"That's true. I didn't expect the elder to be so researched."

Seeing that the elder actually understood the situation so well, the Jean technician who had been a bit lazy before lifted his spirits, and even a few technicians turned their heads to look at Kong Huan, as if looking forward to the other party's performance.

And because the interest had already settled down, Fang Huan also began to think about some revision opinions obtained from the knowledge of the human world. As for 8051 and Dark Blood, they were unexpectedly left out at this time.

"I'll look around, is 8051 going?"

Darkblood has no interest in this, she is more concerned with the actual combat power rather than these detailed designs, because she thinks that is the technician's job.

But 8051 seemed interested in everything, especially anything related to fantasy, so he just shook his head.

"Then, after Kong Huan is done here, call me again."

After finishing speaking, Dark Blood flew outside.At this time, the illusory imagination has just begun: "Think about it, because the 'power energy' of the control engine is basically the amplification of the 'control energy' through the energy tank, and as the provider of the 'control energy', The driver has a very low stability of the output of these energies, isn't it?"

The technicians nodded and noticed the problem at the same time.

"Because of this, the power provided by the magnetic field engine is very unstable, and because of the driver, the output of the engine fluctuates from time to time. It is not a problem for experienced drivers with high energy control, but most of them can drive for a long time. It is impossible for a driver to meet that extreme standard of refinement and stability."

"For example, if the driver's output 'control energy' is 10, then the 'power energy' output may be 1000, and the adjustment ratio of 1:100 will cause the engine's power changes to be extremely sensitive to the 'control energy'.

However, even for drivers with energy control Lv5, the fluctuation range of their 'control energy' is probably between 1 and 2.

In other words, the control energy may be 9 in the last second, and it may become 11 in the next second.And in this way, the 'power energy' was 900 in one second, and suddenly became 1100 in the next second.Even without considering the power fluctuations caused by the engine, this instability alone will greatly reduce the life of the engine..."

For a while, the technicians around all looked dignified. Because of the habits of their friends, their first consideration was to popularize the engine. Instead, they didn't think much about the engine itself. Before, they always thought of "just use it".

Now the number of pilots is small, and the number of sea trials is also very small. In addition, the engine was overloaded this time. The short design time of one and a half years made the design of the magnetic field engine unable to be perfect.

"So, what's your idea, Elder Void? Now that you've brought it up, it's obvious that there is a solution."

"Of course, the point is actually the overload controller you mentioned, Technician Jean."

"Overload controller?"
