Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

[Detected that the player is the first to sink the pirate force light cruiser, achieve system achievements, and get an achievement silver chest.] 】

Obediently, this is an achievement silver chest, among all the treasure chests that Ye Bai has opened at present, the most generous reward is the achievement treasure chest, I remember that as the first player to successfully sink the pirate force destroyer, Ye Bai obtained an achievement copper chest.

The rewards Ye Bai inside still have some impressions, the two radars and upgrade props, the monetary reward is the least valuable, and now he has successfully sunk the light cruiser of the pirate force, completed the achievement task again, and obtained an achievement silver box.

The rewards in the achievement silver box are more generous than the rewards in the achievement copper box anyway, but it is a pity that now Ye Bai can only grab the achievement reward for sinking a pirate warship of different levels, and the achievement reward for sinking an alien player’s battleship is no way.

It’s not that Ye Bai can’t beat it, but he can’t touch it at all, unless he is extremely lucky, not to mention that the level of the players is now at most to the level of a destroyer, so many Blue Star players wander in the great navigation world, and this achievement reward has long been snatched away by which lucky one.

Thinking that the achievement treasure chest was actually lost due to luck, Ye Bai felt a great heartache, and while pouting with some pity, he casually opened the achievement silver chest that had just appeared in the bridge.

[Congratulations to players for successfully opening the system achievement cash box and obtaining achievement rewards: a 20mm bullet production line, a 102mm bullet production line, and a 127mm bullet production line, with relevant manufacturing drawings and technology]

“what？”

Seeing the prompt information of the system, Ye Bai was surprised and inexplicable, and directly exported it into a dirty capital, what does the system mean, is it to let himself build a military factory?

With the disappearance of the achievement silver box, a bunch of 480 mini versions, like children’s toys appeared in the bridge, and the outside was shrouded in a layer of white light, Ye Bai, who had previously opened a destroyer from the treasure chest, of course, understood that this was the protection of the system, otherwise if it was really completely unfolded, the bridge could not be installed.

Although he was a little confused, Ye Bai still directly opened the system panel, borrowed the power of the system to throw these three production lines, production drawings, and technical manuals into the small space of the logistics cabin, and then did not greet Lü Teyans, and hurried to the logistics cabin with the guards.

As soon as he entered the logistics cabin, Ye Bai found that several production lines had returned to their own size, and were being placed next to a large number of private houses and warehouses built by construction workers, and a large number of farmers who had no work for the time being were circling around these equipment.

Seeing such a scene, Ye Bai immediately felt a headache, although he had considered building a complete military industrial system in the small space of the logistics cabin before, but there were too many things, production lines, technical manuals, drawings and even raw materials, resulting in Ye Bai’s idea has been unable to be implemented.

Originally, Ye Bai had temporarily given up this idea, and he didn’t have this plan in a short time, but as a result, he opened an achievement silver box, and actually made three production lines, with drawings and production technology, if he didn’t use it, where would Ye Bai be willing.

No matter what else, at least now as long as there are enough raw materials, Ye Bai can completely produce 20mm.102mm.127mm caliber shells by himself, to achieve self-sufficiency in ammunition, although all raw materials including gunpowder, copper, steel, etc. must all be purchased from the system mall, and the actual production cost does not know how much difference there is between buying directly from the system mall.

Let a group of guards drive away all these lively farmers, and then call the construction worker in charge of the construction of the small space of the logistics cabin, and tell him to temporarily put aside other work, build a factory building for the shell production plant as soon as possible, and install all three production lines.

Then Ye Bai opened the system mall, from which 10 ordnance engineers and a full 100 shell assemblers were recruited, the price of recruiting these technical talents is not low, shell assemblers and construction workers are the same as 500 pieces to recruit one, but ordnance engineers are expensive, need 1000 pieces to recruit one.

Fortunately, Ye Bai now only had three production lines of artillery shells in his hands, and 10 ordnance engineers to supervise and command was enough.

As an ordnance engineer and a professional in the military industry, as soon as he appeared, he roughly studied the production technology of shells of three calibers and related production line equipment, and then quickly obtained the price of the raw materials needed to produce artillery shells from Ye Bai.

As soon as they quickly calculated, the ordnance engineers came up with the production cost of producing their own shells, and Ye Bai compared the price of shells in the system mall, and almost rolled his eyes in anger.

Without calculating labor costs, the price of shells produced by purchasing all the raw materials from the System Mall is actually 10% more expensive than the price of purchased finished shells directly from the System Mall, which is not a loss-making transaction.

After seeing this price comparison, Ye Bai instantly regretted it, he knew that it was like this, he would not recruit the 100 shell assemblers at all, anyway, before solving the problem of raw materials, he did not plan to use these three production lines, these people are not equivalent to eating white food.

Just as Ye Bai was so angry that he was about to turn around and leave, one of the leading ordnance engineers stopped him and told him some other information, which made Ye Bai change his original thoughts.

According to ordnance engineers, the scientific and technological level of these three shell production lines is not high, and even a little backward, so the loss of raw materials is relatively high, if you have your own industrial system, you can upgrade these production lines, increase production capacity, and reduce production costs.

The most critical (CACF) key is that because of the backwardness of the equipment, 100 shell assemblers can not make the three production lines run at full power, after all, many of the processes and steps require skilled workers to carry out manual work, which further increases the production cost.

In short, in the mouth of the ordnance engineer, these three shell production lines can only solve a problem of existence and non-existence, but there are a lot of defects, so that Ye Bai listens to the temple jumping, if it were not for the last words of this gushing ordnance engineer, Ye Bai would really turn around and leave.

“Although these three production lines have many disadvantages, they have a great advantage, that is, they can train workers, and after a long period of work, the technical level and level of these workers will be improved.”

This was the last sentence said by this ordnance engineer, and it was also this sentence that made Ye Bai’s dissatisfaction completely dissipate, like the crew, farmers, and construction workers recruited before, these shell assemblers also had different ranks, and when they were recruited, the ranks of these workers were random, high and low.

Before Ye Bai was very concerned about the level of the fleet crew, after all, the higher the level of the crew, the better the performance in battle, and the actual combat effectiveness of the fleet will be stronger, he was thinking about how to improve the level of the crew before, but he has never found a suitable method, only through long-term battles, to see if there will be any changes.

As a result, now the ordnance engineer actually gave a direct affirmative answer, that is, the long hours of work will upgrade the workers, which made Ye Bai, who was already preparing to put these three shell production lines on the shelf, hesitate instantly.

The upgrade of all the recruited personnel has become a piece of Ye Bai’s heart, and now that he has received an accurate answer, Ye Bai naturally does not want to miss it, unless he is the child of destiny in the great navigation world, and every recruitment can recruit the highest level personnel, otherwise cultivating talents can never escape.

For the training of talents, it is natural to hurry up or not, the sooner you start training, the sooner you can complete the upgrade, if from this aspect, the problem of high production costs seems to be less important.

What’s more, the cost of self-production is actually not outrageous, it is only one percent higher than the selling price of the system mall, besides, such a point of shell assemblers operating 3 shell production lines of different calibers at the same time, the production efficiency can be said to be pitifully low, so that although there is a loss, but it will not lose too much ah, at least Ye Bai now feels that he should be able to accept it.

After figuring this out, Ye Bai finally no longer hesitated and directly told the leading ordnance engineer, asking them to teach these shell assemblers how to operate these three shell production lines during this time, master the production technology of three different calibers, and wait until the construction of the factory is completed before starting to produce shells themselves.

However, although he can endure the loss of higher production costs, Ye Bai does not want to lose too much money in vain, and specially explained that at this stage, there is no problem in not pursuing the production of shells, even if the production speed is low.

The most important thing is to strengthen the training of shell assembly workers, focusing on improving their professional and technical level, so as to achieve the purpose of upgrading, to put it bluntly, simply training talents.

Anyway, up to now, no matter how many workers and even crew members only need Ye Bai to be responsible for their food, drink and accommodation, and do not have to pay salaries, labor costs can be described as quite low, if not, Ye Bai does not even want to cultivate talents.

After explaining these things, Ye Bai originally thought that even if it was over, who knew that he had not turned around, he was once again pulled by the ordnance engineer, and in Ye Bai’s doubtful gaze, the ordnance engineer slowly said the last request.

That is, since it is necessary to start these three shell production lines to produce shells by themselves, there are higher requirements for electricity, and the equipment of these three artillery shell production lines has a considerable demand for electricity.
