Chapter 1374： Technical player

The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed the eastern mountain barrier, casting a tiny golden glow on the rolling hills, and the high-altitude wind whistling across the shimmering shield above the sky fortress, after several layers of barriers were filtered and channeled. , The cold high air flow turned into a comfortable breeze, the Empire flag hung over the control center swayed in the wind, and the sword and plow emblem depicted by the pale gold silk thread rolled up and down Rebecca’s main road on the upper deck along with the airflow. The upside stopped, and looked up at the superstructure of the Earthly Dawn gradually glowing with a metal texture in the morning light, and a silly smile slowly appeared on his face.

She has become accustomed to the life on this aerial fortress, and recently she has become more and more fond of welcoming the sunrise of the day on the upper deck of the Earthly Dawn.

"Good morning, creator," the voice of the main brain of the fortress came from a low-power speaker nearby. The Earthly Dawn sensed Rebecca's location and proactively greeted, "Today's sun is very good."

"Good morning, today is indeed a good weather," Rebecca smiled and beckoned to the monitoring device not far away, with a happy expression on her face almost emitting light, "It feels very suitable to throw something at the wasteland. Something full of art"

"As you said, today is a good day for departure," The Earthly Dawn's voice sounded calm and gentle, and a hum from low to high sounded in the depths of this anti-gravity giant ship. This is what it is doing. The movement of its 22 sets of auxiliary propulsion engines warming up, "Do you need to arrange rail transportation to the No. 2 industrial deck? The nearest pipe entrance is fifty meters on your left."

"Okay," Rebecca nodded, and walked towards a nearby raised facility protruding from the deck. "Yes, by the way, tell Commander Jinna that I have completed the calibration of the last supercritical accelerator. She can use it anytime."

"Understood, the notification message has been sent." The mastermind's voice immediately sounded, and Rebecca had already arrived in front of the raised facility. Accompanied by a slight mechanical friction sound, the arc-shaped protective plate rose up, revealing the accommodating inside. The rail transit cabin resembling a cylinder for several people, Rebecca slid into it in a light car and buckled the safety lock, and the traffic cabin sank into the track groove buried under the deck, towards the second industrial deck. The component manufacturing plant that drove quickly to the purification device is located there.

The scale of the Earthly Dawn is amazing, and its interior has a multi-layer three-dimensional structure with extremely high space utilization. It is not an easy task to drive in such a huge "flying city". Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Rebecca and When the magicians and bachelors of mechanics designed this fortress, they designed a very complete transportation system for it, including magic vehicles used on the surface of the deck, a rapid-moving rail transit system between the same floors and sub-zones. The rapid lifting mechanism that runs through the entire fortress from top to bottom and can lead to various "floors". Among these three systems, rail transit plays the most important role.

The original design inspiration of this thing came from the giant tree of Thorin, which is larger in scale than the Earthly Dawn. Therefore, in order to facilitate the transportation of personnel and supplies, Bertila built a plant in the giant tree like a nutrient vessel. "Transportation pipeline", this mature and effective design inspired the thinking power of Rebecca's technical team. These smart people got together and thought about it, and successfully reproduced this convenient transportation system with the power of industry and machinery. Use a comparison.

The cylindrical traffic cabin slid quickly in the track groove. A part of the track groove was an "observation window" made of high-strength artificial crystal. Rebecca sat on the seat and looked at the outside scene through the observation window. All "roads" are buried under the deck, but the traffic track is not dark and nothing. On the contrary, under the deck of the Earthly Dawn is the main structure of the fortress, wrapped in layers of heavy armor and high-strength shields. , Is the powerhouse of this behemoth of war and the assembly factory of many killing machines. Most of the ship-borne troops are stationed in the soldiers’ dormitory on the lower deck most of the time, and today, there are still many areas under the deck. The expansion construction continues.

In the front is a slightly dim space. When the traffic cabin quickly passed by from above, Rebecca saw a huge platform emerging in the dim, high-power engineering lights illuminating the central area of ​​the platform, a large number of engineering machinery and uniforms The magician and Bachelor of Mechanics are busy on the platform. The light of welding and cutting is constantly flickering in the body of the behemoth. The obvious golden markings show that they were not produced by Earthly Dawn's own factory, but from the nearby "Hector" flying fortress.

Hector is a Gorgon-class flying fortress that has been accompanying the Earthly Dawn for a long time. Although its combat effectiveness is not strong, its "back" carries the largest foundry and composite industrial center of the entire aerospace battle group. Every five days, there will be a huge “cloud bottom” aircraft carrying rough metal ingots and other materials from the surface to Hector’s industrial center. The raw materials are in the hot forging furnaces and roaring machine tools. The space was processed into various components, and then assigned to various fortresses or fortresses including Earthly Dawn. The name of Hector was derived from this. In human legend, "Hector" is The name of the greatest craftsman in the first pioneering period (the establishment of the Gondor Empire).

"That platform should be the No. 2 maintenance hangar... After so long, it is almost finished." The traffic cabin quickly passed over the platform, and Rebecca's gaze was withdrawn from below. "With this new With the added hangar, our dragoon formation should be able to improve a lot of combat efficiency...What is left to be completed now?"

"Only a set of auxiliary cooling units in the A12 area are still under construction. After the completion of this facility, the Earthly Dawn will be allowed to sail at a faster speed and will reduce the cooling cycle of all main gun-level rainbow generators by 10%. "The mastermind's voice came immediately, "At present, the foundation construction has already passed halfway, and the materials and personnel are abundant, and the project will be completed as planned."

"Huh... that's good," Rebecca exhaled softly, "This fortress is finally about to be completed."

The Earthly Dawn was not completed when it set sail. Because the war broke out too quickly and was almost completely out of control at the beginning, this aerospace fortress rushed to the battlefield almost on the second day after the main function was just completed. In addition to guaranteeing basic navigation and combat capabilities, its large number of "subunits" and flagship fleet auxiliary modules were built on the road while combating. Its huge scale, fully functional factory facilities, and The excellent thinking ability of the technical team made this unprecedented thing possible, and until today, the Earthly Dawn finally reached the stage nearing completion.

"Do you plan to build a second sky fortress in the future?" After a few seconds of silence, the mastermind's voice came again, "As you said before...my sister ship."

"Of course, the ancestors said that the decisive weapons that are gone after the fight are unreliable. The energy-producing weapons are the most reliable. From the beginning, we did not intend to build only the Earthly Dawn. At least there must be a formation. ," Rebecca immediately nodded and said, "With the experience accumulated in you, coupled with the advancement of technology, your'sister' should be born soon... In fact, I even thought of the name in advance. !"

"Have you already figured out the name?" The main brain expressed moderate curiosity, "I did not retrieve the relevant information in the database..."

"I haven't filed for it yet. I didn't even tell Aunt Hetty and the ancestors." Rebecca waved her hand. "Since you are called the Earthly Dawn, I plan to call the new fortress the Gods. Twilight', you see that this day will be neat..."

The main brain suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he spoke again: "I think the high-level advisors of the theocracy may be a little sensitive to this name..."

"Then I will go back to discuss with them," Rebecca waved her hand again, with a look of "I think it's okay", "It's a big deal to change the name to the Noon of the Gods..."

The main brain doesn’t speak at all. It can handle the thousands of nerve signals that come from this huge fortress every moment, but it can’t handle the whimsical thoughts in the empire’s shot...

But it didn’t last long, because the traffic cabin had begun to slow down gradually. With a slight mechanical friction and the characteristic clicking sound of the repulsive mechanism flipping, Rebecca felt that she had stopped, and then the entire cylindrical traffic cabin began to be pushed. Going to the exit, after the protective panel was opened, she saw the pleasing open-air assembly platform on the No. 2 industrial deck, and the technical crystallization that she and nearly a hundred technicians were ready to go on the platform:

It is disassembled into seventeen components, which can be packaged and installed on a simple airdrop frame, and can be airdropped directly from the sky fortress to the surface of the purification device for assembly.

She got out of the traffic cabin and walked to the assembly platform happily. Halfway around, she saw an unexpected figure standing here. She was a tall blond woman. She was wearing a light-fitting air force commander white. Uniform, with a short decorative cloak over one shoulder, and long and soft blond hair tied into a single ponytail, looking heroic and refreshing.

That was the commander-in-chief of the empire’s air force, Gina Prince, a former griffon rider and an experienced "sky-rider". She participated in almost every battle on the road to the rise of the empire, When the cavalry unit was established, it became the first "pilot" of the empire at that time. As a young and emerging empire with many cutting-edge technologies, Cecil's domestic talents, whether in the military field or in the technical field, have the characteristics of youthfulness, and this Air Force commander is undoubtedly one of the best.

However, Rebecca felt that Miss Gina Prince’s greatest strength was not her ability in "air combat", but the unsuccessful record of attempts by more than one company to introduce her to her so far. Even Mr. Solderlin’s mother had visited her, and the two had a very happy conversation. They exchanged views on the rearing of griffins and warhawks for a whole day. In the end, if Solderlin hadn’t arrived in time, the two of them had a good time. I should be an alien sister...

Rebecca shook her head vigorously, and quickly got rid of the thoughts of running around in her head. She remembered that most of the gossip she heard came from the mouth of Amber, so it is better not to think about it, not to mention the ancestors and the ancestors before leaving. Aunt Hetty also specifically reminded me to listen to Commander Jinna’s instructions. Although I am the technical leader of the Earthly Dawn, he is only the technical leader. The entire air force including the Earthly Dawn should still listen to this. Ordered by a real professional soldier.

"Commander Jinna, why are you here?" Rebecca stepped forward and greeted Jinna, who didn't seem to find herself approaching. "I thought you were in the control center..."

"Your Royal Highness," Jin Na only noticed the existence of Rebecca, nodding with a smile on her face, "I received the message from you, and I am going to see the last set of supercritical accelerators completed. It is on the way. Passing by here, let me take a look at the condition of the purification device."

Rebecca smiled triumphantly. She had never learned to hide her feelings in front of praise: "It looks good, right?"

Jin Na turned her head and looked at the shiny metal devices on the assembly platform. The purification core that was split into three segments stood upright in the center of the platform like three giant columns made of a mixture of crystal and metal. Cushion pads and fixed frames are being carefully installed around them, while other components have been disassembled and packaged. They are currently neatly arranged on the edge of the platform, waiting for heavy vehicles to send them to the edge of the Earthly Dawn. "Drop Port", where the packaged components will be installed with a one-time airdrop frame, fly to the ground during a series of posture correction and deceleration, and be reorganized on-site by the surface recovery and engineering troops.

"It's indeed an incredible result." Jin Na is not good at technology, but she is quite aware of the huge boost to the entire battle once this plan is implemented. "The Western Front is now the one with the lowest'progress' in the entire alliance. But if the airdrop program goes on smoothly, we can catch up with our allies on several other fronts."

"It's definitely okay. We have tested it. These split components are easy to install," Rebecca seemed confident. "Moreover, during the airdrop process, there will be an entire air and space battle group covering the sky until The purification device is activated, and it is impossible for those monsters to interfere with the progress of the assembly on the ground..."

"No, I'm not worried about the assembly and start-up on the ground, what I worry about is the delivery itself..." Jin Na looked worried, "Are those disposable airdrop frames really okay? A high-powered one is welded directly on the big iron shelf. The anti-gravity ring or something...I went to take a look at the finished product yesterday, how can I say it, it feels a bit too...rough?"

Rebecca touched her chin: "I think it can...Should I ask the mechanics to weld two more fixed steel posts?"

"It's not that we weld two more steel posts... well, you are an expert in technology, so you can confirm that there is no problem," Jinna Prince shook her mouth and nodded helplessly, "Just now Duke Baldwin A message has been sent from the ground that his main ground force is ready to march and is just waiting for us to set off."

Prioritize ensuring air superiority, and then ground forces will follow up and ensure regional occupation. This is what Jin Na learned in this war.

"Yes, Commander Jinna, the Earthly Dawn is ready," Rebecca straightened up immediately and said loudly, "We can go!"
