Age of Mysticism

Luke imagined a new weapon in a few words, and Mrs. Mihir couldn't help but consider the feasibility and cost of this weapon.

The purchase price of a Tin Woodman is 700,000 Reichsmarks. The main cost is neurons and alchemy muscle fibers, and the rest are relatively cheap industrial products. The purchase price of a steam chassis is 150,000 Reichsmarks, and the main cost is the steam engine and the high and low pressure hedging piston system.

If the amount of alchemy materials used inside the Tin Woodman is reduced, and the steam box provides most of the power, the cost of a Tin Woodman can be reduced to 200,000 Reichsmarks, and the steam box is 350,000 Reichsmarks.

Much less than before.

Although in this vision of the governor, the steam iron woodman is almost a one-time product when it is put into battle, but the steam-assisted force only damages the body structure, which can be repaired and replaced, and the head with concentrated neurons can be recycled and reused. . Calculated in this way, as long as the supplies can keep up, the cost of using the steam tin man to fight is not too high.

Moreover, reducing the consumption of alchemy materials can also improve production efficiency and allow more factories to participate.

As for the redesign and supporting delivery tools, it is not too difficult for the Urban Alchemists Association.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Mihir replied to Luke: "Governor, I will ask the Urban Alchemists Association to formulate a manufacturing plan for the steam iron woodman as soon as possible. The estimated purchase price of each steam iron woodman is 350,000 Reichsmarks. If the production scale is large If so, the price should be lowered to less than 300,000. May I ask how many steam iron woodmen need to be produced in the first batch?"

Luke thought about it.

Since the Steam Tin Woodman is going to be put into the future battlefield as a common consumable, of course, the more the better.

"First equip the Raging Wave Armored Assault Division with 10,000 steam iron woodmen, and then prepare 100,000 sets of accessories." Luke, who had a new idea, asked Wei Meng, the director of the Haijiao Machinery Factory: "You have the ability to turn war Is the fort built as a mobile steam tin woodman assembly factory?"

The mighty mechanical tribe received Luke's question, thought for a while and replied: "Report to the Governor, install the production line inside the war fortress... a little design of the internal structure should be able to do it."

Luke asked again: "Can the production system from raw material processing to formal clothing be installed?"

This……

Wei Meng felt that his iron head could not keep up with the thinking of the governor: "My lord, from steelmaking to casting, as well as gold refining and processing... so many processes cannot be accommodated in a war fortress."

"If one is not enough, build a few more, or dozens more." Luke said to everyone sitting here: "We have to change the way we used to use war fortresses in the past, and we must give full play to our own advantages and avoid our own disadvantages." .

Insufficient manpower is a problem we cannot solve.

And our advantages are: the world's top technology, the world's largest industrial group, a large number of skilled workers, rich!

If we can compress our factories into war forts, we can put weapons production lines on the enemy's doorstep. I can produce massive steam iron woodmen, war fortresses, and more advanced weapons. Let our army break the enemy's attack with steel and destroy the enemy's defense with steel. "

Luke paints a picture of a whole new kind of warfare, and everyone can't help but fall into the hallucinations of this mobile war factory.

Is it possible?

It seems the theory works.

Multiple war fortresses arrive at the battlefield to be stitched together to form a production factory. Multiple production factories can form a production system, and with the transport-type war fortress loaded with raw materials, you can go wherever you want to produce.

The function of the Raging Waves Armored Assault Division is to protect the war factory. As long as the war factory combination starts, it will continuously produce steam iron woodmen to consume the enemy.

When the enemy is exhausted, the Raging Wave Armored Assault Division will launch a general attack, which will definitely greatly reduce its own personnel losses.

This kind of local tyrant's style of using money to stun the opponent first and then reaping it, probably only Rage City can play.

Wei Meng pondered for a long time before saying: "How to design the war factory... We still need to seriously consider and demonstrate, and also need the cooperation of the Urban Alchemist Association."

Mrs. Mihir said: "The Urban Alchemist Association will cooperate with the development and construction of the War Factory."

Looking at the two people who were facing sad faces, Luke said confidently: "Don't underestimate the technology you have now, use this war as an opportunity for technology integration and self-transcendence, you will find out in a short time, many Anything imagined can be realized.

Don't consider the cost of war factories either, use the best alchemy technology and steam machinery technology. As long as it appears on the battlefield, it will definitely earn back all our investment. "

Luke is very clear that the following chaos will lead to a new round of technological explosion, and the already rapid technological growth will usher in a further substantial improvement.

War Factory may seem like a fantasy, but it is not difficult to achieve technically. If you can use the player's whimsy on the war fortress to the war factory, so that the war factory can get rid of logistics, it is really a weapon that is not bound by distance, and it can be produced wherever it goes, and what it wants to fight Hit wherever you want.

Thinking about the challenges that may be faced in the further future, Luke felt that the war factory would be his trump card, and he had to deploy it as soon as possible, and develop it while actually fighting.

Wittmann and Mrs. Mihir said that they will definitely organize the development of the war factory with all their strength.

Luke talked about the construction of some war forts and war assembly factories, and turned to Ible and asked: "The list I gave you, how many people have you invited?"

Ible replied: "Governor, the list you gave me has a total of 1,256 people, we have contacted 865 people, 450 of them expressed their willingness to come to Rage City for development, and 364 people have already arrived.

According to your instructions, I gave them residence registration in Raging Waves City and properly arranged their residence. The Urban Alchemist Association also gives priority to their applications for membership, and the City Administration Department has allocated special funds for them to carry out research projects they want to do.

Others... We are still in active contact, and I believe more people will join Raging City. "

After listening to Ible's job introduction, Luke said again: "Show them the strength and sincerity of our Raging City, and let them know that the gates of Raging City are open to them at any time. But let them know that if you come first, you will definitely get More funding and resource support.

After the meeting, I will give you another list and try your best to invite the people I want. "

Ible replied immediately: "Yes, my lord governor, I promise to complete the task you assigned."

The development of the times is inseparable from technical talents.

Players of the lord type have summed up the "Roster of Tech Demons".

"Monster" is the name given to those young players with great potential in business football games. They often have very high development value and are extremely cheap.

The technical monsters in the era refer to those technicians who you ignore me now, but I will make you unattainable in the future.

Raging Waves City's status in the world in the economic and technological fields is very attractive to this kind of technological monster. Half of the people who can be contacted expressed their willingness to come to Rage City, which shows how big a loophole Luke has picked up.

Digging, keep digging.

Regardless of whether it is a big demon or a small demon, this governor... wants them all.

In addition to sending Ible all over the world to recruit technical demons, Luke also issued many world rewards through the Government Affairs Office. Through bounty missions, he invites bounty hunters and adventure teams to explore in designated places.

The purpose is to collect useful ancient relics, as well as high-value mysterious props.

Rage City gave Luke a platform to reach out to any corner of the world. There are many places where he does not need to go personally, and what he wants will come to him.

Accumulation is a silent process of moistening things, only waiting for the moment of accumulation.

The topic of planning the future came to an end for the time being, and Luke turned his attention back to the immediate things.

"Iscoran, what's the current situation in the Rio Republic?"

Viscount Iscoran gave an explanation of what he knew about the situation in Leo at the meeting.

With the Polaris Mercenary Group and mercenaries from all sides intervening in the Leo Civil War, the Watchers have firmly occupied several towns. There are still many people in Leo who still miss the old kingdom. When they saw the watchman gain power, they joined the Restoration Army. There were many nobles who raised troops to prepare for the king's division.

In short, the time for the founding of the Rio Republic is too short, and the people at the bottom have not gained much benefit, so they don't care who rules them. The Leo Council was overwhelmed by the full-scale Watchmen Restoration War, and had no time to pay attention to the crisis at sea.

With the financial support behind Raging City, Baron Jeff of Brilliant Island has assembled a rather large pirate fleet. The pirates usually break up into pieces, constantly attacking the ships of the Leo Republic, and occasionally attacking the coastal cities of Leo.

After Baron Jeff received the two first-class warships, he relied on these two warships to reorganize the brilliant fleet. He personally led the brilliant fleet to set up an ambush circle on the sea, and then let the pirates seduce the Leo Navy, and then attacked them with the strength of the ship and the guns.

If you encounter the large fleet of the Leo Navy, then go to Yubone Island to invite the cape anti-smuggling fleet.

Now the Leo Navy only dares to operate near the sea.

"The main force of the Leo Navy is concentrated in the four large military ports. They have already sensed that we will attack them, so they are constantly reinforcing the battleships day and night.

Coastal fire resistance has also increased a lot.

If the Leo Navy is huddled in the military port, if we attack by force, we will suffer very large losses.

And the watchers have repeatedly warned us that we are not allowed to launch any form of attack on Leo. "

Luke said: "Destroying Leo's maritime power and potential is to protect our maritime security and also to show the world our maritime dominance, so that our merchant ships can reach any sea area without being blocked.

This war will not be disturbed by any factors, no matter where the Leo Navy is hiding, they must be completely wiped out.

You continue to collect information about the Leo Navy, and I will negotiate with the Watcher. "

"Yes, my lord governor."

Luke then asked Mrs. Tasia, Queen of the Naga: "How is the Cape Anti-Smuggling Fleet preparing?"

Tacia replied: "Replying to the Governor... The main force of the cape anti-smuggling fleet has been training on Yubone Island. Now we have received 25 first-class warships, 50 modified armed ships, 136 speedboats, and 20 airships of various types." .

The anti-smuggling fleet in Haijiao District is fully staffed and ready to attack at any time. "

"How many ships can Raging City's Navy and Brilliance ship out?"

"The Raging Wave Navy can dispatch 15 first-class warships, 35 wooden dome-armored warships, 38 armed supply ships, and 23 airships.

Brilliant Island can dispatch 2 first-class warships, 46 other types of warships, and 6 airships.

In addition, Brilliant Island can also summon more than 200 pirate ships. Pirates cannot participate in the main battle at sea, but they can serve as guerrilla and blockade missions. "

Luke mentally calculated the number of ships that Raging City could put into this naval battle.

The speedboats that are not suitable for going out to the open sea are not counted. This time, our side can attack 42 first-class warships, 35 wooden dome-armored warships, and 134 other armed auxiliary ships.

There were also 49 airships.

After the Rio Navy had the ambition to compete with the Golden Shield Empire for sea power, there was a period of explosive warship building. Now Rio has about 200 wooden dome warships and more than 500 armed auxiliary ships. If the whole country is mobilized, it may be possible to recruit thousands of merchant ships. However, in the face of all-metal warships, armed auxiliary ships can only be beaten, and it is useless to have more merchant ships.

As for the airship...

Bombing sea targets from airships is a tactic.

However, if the airship flies low, it will become a target for surface ships; if it flies too high, the thrown weapon will not be able to hit it accurately. Moreover, one's own airship is equipped with magician and alchemy protective equipment, which can provide a protective screen for surface ships, so there is no need to worry too much about Leo's airship attack.

The victory or defeat at sea ultimately depends on the duel of the surface fleet.

The generational difference between Raging Waves City's sea power and Leo's navy is enough to make up for the numerical disadvantage.

"As for how to fight this war and what is the basic goal of this war, we will discuss it after meeting with the Admiral Raging Waves and Baron Jeff.

Everyone! "

Everyone present sat upright immediately.

Luke slowed down his speech and said in a very solemn tone: "This meeting is over, tomorrow's Raging City and today's Raging City are two different cities.

Every sector must be prepared for the most severe developments. Think carefully about how to stabilize the order of the city amid difficulties, and how to continue production when the war is approaching.

The most important thing is... let the citizens have confidence in our city and the ability of the Governor's House, the City Council, and the City Council to protect their lives and property.

The prosperity and development of the city is our confidence to face any challenges in the future. "

"Everything is under the orders of the governor!"
