All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

After the scientists have fully mastered the production drawings handed over to the scientific research center today, they will be sent to various factories and shipyards to start construction work. Some production work arrangements also need to be prepared in advance.

Sitting in Speer's office in a small space, Ye Bai drank a cup of hot tea and said slowly:"Spere, when will the new round of shipbuilding plans for the 10 shipyards be completed?"

As the leader, Speer is familiar with all the industrial systems in the entire small space, all factories, shipyards, including the mining of raw material resource points, and the relevant data.

Hearing this, he replied without thinking:"Sir, according to the previously formulated shipbuilding plan, all 60 slipways of 6 shipyards are used to build small and medium-sized warships. The fastest batch is still 3 days away. Construction can be completed, and the slowest one takes 8 days."

"The other 40 slipways are all large warships, with the longest construction period, 10 days at the fastest and 28 days at the slowest."

Hearing this time, Ye Bai let out a long breath, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart. If the new round of shipbuilding plan could start a few days later, there would be no need to wait for such a long time.

Now As the construction drawings of a new batch of stronger warships begin, many of the warships that have been built in the shipyard will actually be eliminated by the main fleet, and they can only be temporarily replenished for the guard fleet after production.

In other words, a large amount of raw materials and a full 30 days were wasted. The main fleet was unable to obtain a single battleship addition except a group of Fletcher-class destroyers and Baltimore-class heavy cruisers.

Originally, after recruiting Fletcher and Si After the two rear admirals Pruance, Ye Bai also thought about using the new round of warships launched to expand the main fleet. Now this hope has once again failed.

But it is no wonder who is getting system rewards. Before, it was impossible for Ye Bai to know in advance what kind of clearance rewards he could get, and it was even less possible for him to know that he would be able to obtain the construction drawings of several more advanced warships this time.

Of course, it was impossible to change the previous shipbuilding plan in advance. We can't leave all the slipways in the shipyard empty. If the final system reward is not satisfactory, then it will be a waste of time.

After thinking about it, Ye Bai still asked unwillingly:"The shipbuilding work has just begun. It’s only 3 days, can we stop immediately and start building the newly acquired warships? Speer

's expression froze. He never expected that Ye Bai would suddenly propose such a plan. While complaining about his master's whim, he also replied seriously:"Sir, although the shipyard will only start construction for three days. But the keels have been laid on all slipways, and the small and medium-sized warships have even taken shape, and the construction of internal cabins and the installation of auxiliary equipment are in progress."

"If we stop the construction work at this time, not only will it take a few days to dismantle the completed hull, but the large amount of resources invested previously will also be wasted. Such a loss is too great. I do not recommend that adults do this.."

Hearing Speer's words, Ye Bai's eyes lit up. He was about to wave his hand and declare loudly that he didn't care about the consumption of raw materials, as long as he could free up the slipway and launch the construction plan of the new warship as soon as possible.

But it was obvious. Yes, after seeing Ye Bai's expression, Speer roughly guessed what he was thinking. Before Ye Bai spoke again, he continued:"Sir, there is another issue that needs attention, that is, the resource points in the small space have been We are fully mining, but our shipbuilding plan is too huge and the supply of raw materials can no longer keep up."

"The new battleships you brought out this time are indeed more powerful, and the consumption of raw materials will also increase. Especially the Yamato-class battleship, with a full load displacement of more than 70,000 tons, it takes a lot of resources to build such a behemoth. The raw materials will be twice that of the previous Nelson-class battleship. Relying on the output of resource points in a small space, I am afraid that……"

Speer didn't finish what he said, but Ye Bai completely understood what he meant. This meant that the raw material resources produced in the small space were not enough. According to the current shipbuilding plan, it could barely support it, but if construction started As for the construction plan of new warships, there will be a gap in the supply of raw materials.

Although he understood the meaning, Ye Bai was really confused. Ever since he used space crystals to open up a small space, and after many upgrades, the area of ​​the small space was quite large.

Although Ye Bai has not traveled through the entire small space, as far as he knows, not counting the ocean, the area of ​​land and islands alone has exceeded the combined area of ​​Yuntong Island and Island No. 308.

Every time a small space is upgraded, it is not only an expansion of the area, but most importantly, the system will reward a large number of resource points every time, almost doubling the growth.

The most important thing is that the reserves of these resource points are unlimited, and there is no need to worry about the resource points being mined out. Therefore, in the past, Ye Bai almost never worried about raw material resources.

Listening to what Speer meant now, as the scale of the Chinese fleet expanded and it occupied two small islands, the raw material resources were not enough. Doesn't this mean that the landlords have no surplus food?

"Aren’t there resource points on Yuntong Island and Small Island No. 308? There are also those resource points occupied in the outer sea area. Add these together, are there still insufficient raw materials?

Speer shook his head and explained:"Sir, the number of resource points on Yuntong Island and No. 308 Island is not large, and the types are not complete. All the production is supplied to the two islands.""

"Whether it is for the island's own use or for equipment sold to players, especially for repairing players' battleships, a large amount of raw materials are required, which are simply insufficient. They have always relied on small spaces for supply to meet demand."

Yes, Ye Bai understood this time. The reason why there is a shortage of raw materials in the small space is that in addition to the large-scale shipbuilding plan that consumes a lot of raw materials, it also needs to provide Yuntong Island and No. 308 Island. There will be problems with the blood transfusion between these two islands.

Ye Bai frowned tightly. This situation was something he had never experienced before. After all, he, Ye, had always prided himself on being rich and powerful. How could there be such a problem? When resources were lacking, it was the first time he encountered such a situation. He didn't know what to do for a while.

Ye Bai shook his head and couldn't think of any good ideas. He could only focus on the current situation again. Speer was drinking tea leisurely.

When he turned his attention, Ye Bai realized that Speer was so leisurely and didn't have the slightest expression of embarrassment. This made him feel a little dazed, but he also realized that, This guy might have a solution already.

After calming down, Ye Bai asked softly:"Spere, do you have any good solution to our current predicament? Speer put down the tea cup in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly:"Sir, if I use Master Qiu's words, the solution to this kind of problem is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure."

"In the case of open source, if we cannot add more resource points, if we want to obtain more raw material resources, we can only use foreign trade and use commercial activities to purchase large amounts of raw material resources from other islands."

"You don’t even need to purchase in large quantities, as long as it can meet the needs of Yuntong Island and Island No. 308, it will be enough, so that the small space does not need to provide blood transfusions to the two islands."

The Lord Qiu that Speer mentioned is none other than Qiu Haonan, who is currently in charge of people's livelihood and government affairs on Yuntong Island. He is originally a compatriot from the earth. It is normal for him to be able to say the words"increase income and reduce expenditure".

Moreover, Ye Bai also realized at this moment that Speer, Qiu Haonan, and even Zhou Guolai had communicated more than once, and they had probably discussed a plan for the problem of insufficient raw materials. No wonder this guy After he took the initiative to raise this issue, he just sat on Diaoyutai without panicking at all. Without replying to Speer immediately, Ye Bai continued to ask:"After talking about increasing revenue, what about reducing expenditure? What are your thoughts? Speer picked up the tea cup again and took a sip of water before continuing:"To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal to cut costs. It's just to modify our current shipbuilding plan and put limited resources into the construction of large main battleships." to reduce the number of small and medium-sized warships (Qian Dezhao) built"

"After all, the construction of these small and medium-sized warships requires much fewer resources, and the construction cycle is quite short. If there is demand, we can completely propose the construction of a large number of warships in the short term without any delay."

After listening to Speer's words, Ye Bai was also a little silent. I have to say that the plan that Speer or the three of them came up with in three years is indeed very suitable.

At least in the face of the current shortage of raw materials in the Chinese fleet. Under the circumstances, it is a quite appropriate solution. If you follow this plan, the problem of insufficient raw materials may still not be solved from the root. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But it can concentrate limited resources. , used in the most scarce places, it can also ensure a certain reserve of raw material resources. At critical moments, these reserve resources will play a great role.

However, this approach also has some shortcomings, disrupting the original The construction plan will even cause the expansion plan of the main fleet to be delayed. In a world of war, this problem is very fatal. The procurement of raw materials from abroad is not so stable. After all, the entire maritime world is trapped in In the midst of the war, all the indigenous forces are expanding their armies and preparing for war. The demand for raw materials is also not small. It is still unknown how much raw materials can be traded.
