The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

It was a huge ship that was half built, but just by seeing the completed hull, one could feel the power of industrial technology.Different from the angular box shape of the ships developed by Tartarus before, this semi-finished giant ship has a raised back, covered by thick armor, is a huge ecological dome.

Oregana has learned a lesson this time. She has carefully planned the residential area, internal traffic structure, and optimized the dock.The hull is larger than the Solar Ark, and the cost is far more than the Solar Ark, but as a colonial ship, she is enough to crush her predecessors in terms of performance and comfort.

emmmmm...Although just think about it for two more seconds, any comfort can crush the Solar Ark. (cover face)

The densely packed mechanical arms are running, slowly and accurately installing the armor, external structures and equipment. The autonomous construction machinery is flying up and down like a worker bee. In the middle of these machinery, the spherical work capsule driven by the engineer can be seen from time to time. The look of coming and going.

This huge man-made object and the enthusiastic working atmosphere immediately overwhelmed these children who had been educated in the Naval Academy for a period of time.

"This is the newly designed colonial ship, named the Negative Toad class." The teacher in charge of the team explained while keeping the children from running around, "It will take some time for the first two ships to be completed... …It should have been finished a long time ago, but when expanding the armament some time ago, some energy cores and thruster components were moved to the dreadnought production line, so it was delayed for a while."

In the practical class of engineering subjects, the children of the first class were directly pulled to the industrial station to watch the flagship building. I am afraid that only this school can do this.Reminiscent of the usual club activities, such as taking a submarine deep into the seabed to study the ecology of large cephalopods; taking a self-made modified car for a desert rally; cutting window grilles; using a space glider to break into the atmosphere from a high-orbit empty castle; It doesn't seem like a big deal to go and see the flagship production line if the device is carved on an asteroid or something. (far eye)

Just like girls of this age, the little ones kept chattering when they got excited——

"It's really big..."

"Amazing!"

"Teacher! Teacher! Let's take a closer look?"

"Can I put on standard clothes and go out to watch?"

"Can I get in the boat now?"

The two teaching assistants hired in other civilizations worked hard to maintain discipline. After the children finally calmed down, the teacher said with a smile (restricted by class teacher):

"No. For safety's sake, it's better for everyone to stay here. This practical class focuses more on 'seeing'. The practice and operation will have to wait until next time."

"Hmm... Can I do it myself in the next practical class?" A blond girl with a red rabbit ear headband raised her hand and asked, "I want to try boat building too!"

"Flagship manufacturing is still a bit early, and it has gone beyond your current knowledge. Now it is just for you to understand first. After the advanced subjects, you will learn systematically according to different majors." The teacher touched her. Head, said, "Practical operation, you have to learn from the most basic part of industrial production, so next time we will visit New Eden's second space mining site and the first labor reformation facility. Next time, we will talk about it next time. Focus on what's in front of you."

"understood!"

Behind them, a shuttle bypassed the open berth and swiftly entered the dock.

When Oregana got off the boat, she saw an unusual shuttle machine parked on the berth next to it—the two sides of the body of this shuttle machine have fixed wings that adapt to aerodynamics and keep the body stable. Designed for frequent travel between the surface of the planet and the universe.

She remembered this design. Before, the Tin Woodman used to show off this design in front of her, saying that her apprentice Mayo Asuka had such a broad mind and so high comprehension. Look at this wing, this power system, this structure!What a clever combination!It is easy to operate and saves propellant. For small machines, this ratio is difficult to achieve perfect. Do you know that!

In the end, the design that the Tin Woodman thought was great was adopted by the Tartarus Naval Academy and a batch was purchased, but other civilizations had no interest in this shuttle—one was that the price was a bit expensive, and the other was that it was a one-day round trip. You are the only Naval Academy who has been on the track and the ground more than ten or twenty times, you know!

"Just in time for the children to come to the practical class?" Oregana showed a warm smile, and subconsciously looked around in the port area. "Not bad."

Following Oregana and Ruriko was Admiral Millis Ent Rockmar who came here together. She was wearing the uniform provided by Yukikaze (but felt that her chest was a bit tight).After multiple scans, she was proven safe from the Dark Worm, and was allowed to travel to New Eden with Oregana.

She really wanted to know how Tartarus's military strength and industrial production capacity were. As a result, she saw a row of large industrial manufacturing stations lined up in a row, neatly anchored in the universe, and a ship on a large open-air slipway A large ship is gradually being completed.

It is the level of shipbuilding at the level of history books!

"Does the Legion Chief like children?" After hearing Oregana's muttering, she asked.

"Of course, but I don't like bears...Fortunately, our children are smart and sensible." Oregana said while grabbing the tail of the leopard dangling in her hand. "Every time I see these children When we attend class like this lively and ask questions around the teacher, we feel that everything we have done before is worthwhile.”

"Yes." A man in a suit, who seemed to have just come out of D○F from an Internet cafe, walked over with a smile. This is the salted fish house who has been in charge of logistics in the rear.Although he is usually a very good person, once he sees the battle damage record, he will suddenly change from a gentle and successful person to a fighting race who slams grenades and dies with the enemy.He hasn't lost any ships recently, so he seems to be in a pretty stable mood right now.

Xianyu Zhai stopped in front of Oregana and continued:

"But this is quite different from the school I imagined."

The legion commander raised the corner of his mouth:

"Well, when we were in elementary school, we didn't visit spacecraft manufacturing sites."

"Haha!" Xianyuzhai showed a look of reminiscence. Before crossing, he lived in the same city as the army commander, and he was very impressed with certain things: "There are no hot dry noodles sold at the school gate, and the school uniform is much more beautiful than ours back then. By the way... do we want to change the school uniforms of the Naval Academy to Soviet-style girls' school uniforms?"

Such as hot dry noodles.

"Is this the focus of attention! And we will not agree to change all the staff into Soviet-style school uniforms."

"Hey~~ Please accommodate me!"

"Then... let's change the cat's lotus seeds into the Soviet-style school uniform."

"Boss," Liu Lizi pulled his tail out of the army commander's hand expressionlessly, and then slapped his own boss on the face, "Be decent!"

"Meow!"

The strength of the leopard's tail is actually quite strong, it hit the nose and tears flowed...

"It hurts... Liu Lizi has grown up and become fierce..."

"It's because I grew up that I realized the heavy responsibility on my shoulders."

Milliss Ent Rockmar keenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with this group of people.

It is clearly at the forefront of the war, but... there is no atmosphere of heaviness, despair, and death that is unique to wartime at all.

This mentality is too positive.

It's kind of confusing.

Just thinking of this, a staff member with an electronic version came over, saluted the bosses, and said:

"Legion Commander, the last batch of components has arrived. The installation of the energy core will begin in the afternoon."

"Good job." Oregana applauded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Can the mineral supply keep up now?"

"No problem," Xianyu Zhai shook his hand, "The current scale of the mine team can maintain this level of shipbuilding, but if we want to continue laying infrastructure, I'm afraid we have to expand the mine team. But to expand the mine team, the mine has some problems. If it is small, a new mining area must be opened up. Of course, the most critical thing is the shortage of manpower.”

How long will it take to wait until the next round of graduation season... (covers face)

"Manpower problem... Are there fewer guys who have committed troubles recently?"

"There are few that meet the requirements..."

As we all know, the mines of Tartarus use criminals from various civilizations to mine.In Oregana's point of view, criminals are not enough to atone for their crimes just being locked up. They have to work and create value to make up for the losses they caused.Tartarus was willing to pay and give these criminals a chance at redemption.

Although the price is very low, but everyone has a look - the management is good, it won't torture prisoners to death, it's okay!Although the price is not high, it is better than eating plain rice.It is regarded as generating income, so criminals who are healthy, have a certain level of education, have a stable mental state, and have no anti-social tendencies will be provided to mine.The contract is not long, and will be sent back when the time is up.

But the number of prisoners who meet these four requirements is actually not many...

"How about adopting the employment system?" Liu Lizi shook his ears and said, "Although the efficiency of ordinary people operating mining barges is a bit low, liquidation-type mining platforms have been used for a long time in labor reformation centers. Higher than the average worker controlling a mining barge, or..."

The liquidation mining platform consists of a huge container wrapped in armor and 37 semi-buried mining lasers. The mining platform itself has no power and needs to be dragged to a designated location by a barge to anchor it to work properly.When working, every two miners control a semi-buried mining laser. They wear standard clothes and operate in the operating position (open air), highlighting a sense of romance and the times.

When the container is full, it will be transported away by the industrial ship next to it, and then sent into the empty container to continue the mining work.

The efficiency is surprisingly good.

"But now that the era of great interstellar voyages has just begun, everyone has busy things to do, so I'm afraid we won't be able to hire many people."

"That's right..."

In this day and age, those who like to do this kind of work are going to develop colonies in batches. It may not be easy to hire suitable personnel.Thinking of this, Liu Lizi drooped his ears and wagged his tail listlessly.

"But this proposal is very constructive." Oregana didn't think so. As long as the price is right and the working environment is safe, there will always be someone willing to do it. If you want to do it, you need to redesign the mining platform, because this time it is not a labor camp, so you have to improve safety and optimize the working environment."

"No problem, leave it to me." Xianyuzhai nodded, this is the matter of adding a ceiling to the open-air operation position, and it doesn't take much thought. "This small change won't take long."

"Then please," Oregana said with satisfaction, "try to hurry up on the colony ship, let's go to the end world first."

"Well, let's go."

"There is one thing I must tell you... Kidnapper, please don't damage the entire team of doomsday dreadnoughts this time. It hurts too much, this damn is really too hurt."

"Yeah, we know. Half the team won't lose."

"You said it." The salted fish house flicked out a recording pen, "If this batch of dreadnoughts returns to New Eden and enters the dock, it is less than half of what it is now... You still have the Fin Whale class, and I will give it to you." Sit on."

"Okay, okay, no problem." Oregana agreed wholeheartedly, "Are you still worried about what we do? It's really weird."

"It's best to rest assured..."

The shuttle leaves the Season of Dreams Station and heads to Star City, the center of New Eden.

There are currently four Titan ships moored in the port of Star City, two of which are still being fitted out and cannot be sailed out for the time being.The purpose of this time is to find the one with the longest history.

The Leviathan-class Titan ship, the Final World.

Milliss Ent Rockmar looked at the ships coming and going around the huge fortress, and asked in surprise:

"Are these civilian ships?"

"Well, there are a few routes around here, and everyone will use the beacons around Star City as temporary anchorages, so it's more convenient to transit." Oregana replied, "Look, there are all kinds of routes, and they come from seven different countries. same civilization."

In addition to the first batch of Meow Star, Gendaya, Xinghuan and United Plant, the follow-up Letitia, the League of Nations and Gameiras all joined the Consolidation Department one after another. After the opening of the business route , New Eden became lively.

Like the Guitar Galaxy in Volgo, but New Eden is safer and more orderly.

"It's the first time I've seen such a bustling galaxy with my own eyes." Millisent Rockmar looked out through the porthole at the ships in constant flow outside, as well as the advertising screens everywhere—now it was playing meow The advertisement for the vacation planet just developed by the stars is probably to open up the brand to attract customers. The price on it is surprisingly low, "I can't feel the breath of war at all."

"Actually, this galaxy is a fortress, and all the gravitational singularities have exaggerated fortress groups. And as long as there is a signal, several full-scale fleets can immediately enter the field to support." Oregana smiled "It's just that you can't see it from here."

"Oh!"

Soon, Millis Ent Rockmar saw the super flagship berth in Star City, the four huge warships that could only be compared to the big ships that appeared in the early history books.They seem to be cities made of steel, quietly dormant on the berths.Once they are needed, that powerful weapon can burn the sky and boil the sea in an instant, and wipe out the enemy.

Just seeing it is reassuring.

But a few minutes later, her impression was overturned again.

When everyone got out of the elevator and arrived at the bridge of the Final World, the Machine Soul was already waiting for them there.

"Hello, the end of the world." Oregana greeted familiarly, "Is the stove I bought for you last time useful?"

"Hmm! It's very easy to use!" The machine spirit looks very happy. "Although it took a little bit of work to lay out the gas pipes, it still looks good after completion. I tried to arrange it according to the kitchen in the memory of the war scythe boss. Usually put it in the back of the compartment, you see—”

She issued a few commands, and the wall on one side of the bridge suddenly unfolded, revealing the contents inside—

There are no internal pipelines or lights inside. There is only a washstand, a refrigerator, and a cooking table. The ancient gas stove that Oregana helped order is placed inside.Next to the cooking table, there is a wooden dining table covered with a red checked tablecloth, and two chairs are neatly placed on both sides of the table.

This guy built a small dining room with a kitchen in the bridge, and then delicately covered it with armor plates to the back.

Fortunately, it’s not obvious on the surface at all. It’s much better than an un (big) dead (character) admiral who spreads tatami inside the bridge and sits drinking matcha.

But is this something you should keep in your final weapon control room!Millisent Rockmar wanted to complain, but finally held back.

But I can't help it soon... If there is something beyond common sense, she has no confidence at all to hold back the complaints.

"Oh?! It's pretty decent!"

"Right!" Final Yan World showed a smug expression. "Let's not talk about that, I read the data collected from the master, and I have been studying it for a while. I have benefited a lot."

Milliss Ent Rockmar breathed a sigh of relief, as if the conversation was back on track.
