An Unscientific Mechanic

"The Federation will assist you in building a military factory?" Rebir sat down on the seat. "And then you start the Zeon War of Independence again?"

"No, the Republic of Zeon will become a member country of the Earth Federation, and the military factories of the Republic of Zeon will also become one of the competitors in the Federation's arms bidding." Casper put his hands on the table.

"This is really...then your advantage is not that great. Zeon, whether it is ms or warships, is completely behind the Federation. Do you think we need a competitor that is completely behind?"

"That's just before that. Backed by the resource-rich Federation, we can launch products that Zeon can't choose. Zeon doesn't only have high-tech like ms."

"Oh? Are you saying that Zeon cannot choose another better product because of resource factors?"

"Exactly, ms was not the best weapon at that time, it was just the equipment with the highest versatility and the most affordable price. Even the choice of Zeonic's Zaku was more due to political factors than performance factors. For example The performance of the YMS-03 Zida of the Zima De Society is almost equivalent to that of the high-mobility Zaku just installed, and the MA of the MIP Society can match the ms of a small team. However, due to various factors, the Zeon Army did not use it. That's all."

"Zida? The MS that got out of control and disintegrated a few years ago?" Rebir recalled the information he saw back then. "A machine that disintegrates while flying can't be called excellent."

"That's because there is no limiter installed on the machine body, it can increase the engine output without limit, and it's no wonder that it doesn't lose control. After installing the limiter, it is an excellent mobile phone." Shaar curled his lips cryptically. "The out-of-control accidents of the YMS-05 during the test were much higher than those of the 03, and Zeon didn't make a lot of reports. The 05 I was driving had accidents where the engine output suddenly dropped during the Battle of Granada. It is still an actual combat aircraft. Not to mention MIP's MA, which is twice the price of Zaku and more than three times the performance of Zaku, but because it cannot be used on land, Zhabi rejected it. It is also produced by MIP The company's mobile tank showed far better performance than the MS-06J ground Zaku in the test, but it was also rejected because it could not fight in space, as if the J-type Zaku could fight in space."

"You seem to be complaining about your body?" Rebir looked at Kasbal with interest.

"Driving a machine with a sudden low output, being hunted down by more than 30 missiles, those who survived by chance will complain." Kasbal looked terrified.

While chatting, Rebil also waited for the approval from General Garp.

"The Zeonic branch in Granada on the lunar surface can be handed over to you. There are several warship production lines and ms production lines there, which should be able to meet your early maintenance and production needs. Later, the Federation will sell you several Magellan-class ones. Space dock, you can use it." Rebir stood up. "Last question, is Minerva Rao Zabi your illegitimate daughter?"

Seeing the panic flashing across Kasbal's eyes, Rebir knew it in his mind. "I see, Minerva can be the next head of the Zabi family." Then Rebir happily left the conference room with his hands behind his back.

Kaspar's adjutant who came in later looked at Kaspar with a gloomy face in the conference room, very surprised.

"Chairman..."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's all my mistakes because I was too young."

Seeing that the adjutant still looked dazed, Kaspar took a long breath and stood up and moved his body pretending to be relaxed. Then he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

"Did those nobles do something?"

"Only the Lal family and the Mars family are peaceful, and the rest of the families are clamoring all day long to send troops to take back their property."

Looking at the report handed in by the adjutant, a group of nobles under him held banquets all day long, coercing public opinion, stirring up conflicts between Zabi family supporters and Daken family supporters, and even a small group of noble private soldiers dispatched to the Principality of Zeon The autumn wind blows over there. Watch Kaspar's temple twitch.

"How many private soldiers are there?" Kaspar asked weakly, searching his temples.

"Six Musais that we don't know about and 2 Papu-class and ms35 aircraft, all of which are old Type 05s. They were intercepted by Kilen Zabi's pro-guards and annihilated."

"This is really..." Kaspar couldn't hide the pain on his face. "How many troops are still in the hands of the nobles?"

"Two Gwakins with a completion rate of around 90%, three Mubei-class ships, and no more than 10 Musai ships. About MS30 ships, but 5 of them are legendary warriors." The adjutant pulled out another report Book.

"How did they put these things together..." Casbar didn't want to say anything when he heard that this was no less than the Republic's apparent combat power.

"The colonial satellite is small, but it's also very big." The adjutant shook his head. "It is not difficult to build a 300-meter-long secret dock in places such as the outer wall of the colony."

Kaspar opened his mouth, but it turned into a sigh. "Think about how to frame the battleships in the hands of the nobles. Now the Republic's fleet is too small."

"That's how you see the Zeon Republic's request?" Rebir turned to talk about business after returning to his flagship.

"The military strength gap between the Republic of Zeon and the Principality of Zeon is too great. Although it has more than 80% of the population of side3, without the protection of corresponding troops, the fleet of the Principality of Zeon can kill the Republic within 3 days. You Look at the land owned by the Republic. They are used for light industry, agriculture, and purely for residential use, but not for industrial use. They don’t even have a dock for maintaining spaceships. They can only supply supplies and simply repair warships in the port area .” The staff officer has been holding back his old trough for a day.

"Without the protection of the Federation Fleet, the Republic is just a floating cloud. Moreover, the Principality has been dishonest recently. The remnants of the Lunar Mobile Fleet that broke out from Granada have all gone to A Ba Vaku, according to the report of the Observatory of Von Braun. It is said that the Zeon mineral asteroid Axis is heading towards the Earth circle, and it is expected to reach the Earth circle in three months."

"The graviton radar equipped on this ship can already detect the gravitational waves of Axis and its escort fleet. It is estimated that the tonnage is no less than 150 cruisers of the Musai class."

"..." The staff officer reported the intelligence received today to Rebir one by one.

"Axis...send a scouting fleet to assess the possibility of Zeon throwing Axis on the earth as a meteorite. Have you heard that a large amount of resources have been transported to A Ba Vaku?" Rebil I remembered a message sent by the intelligence department that I saw a few days ago.

"That's right, we think A Ba Vaku is producing the fleet for the decisive battle. According to the calculation of Zeon's industrial capacity, Zeon should have completed the reconstruction of the space fleet."

"Why isn't this message in the chain of command?"

"Because the construction speed of the Federation Fleet far exceeds that of the Zeon Army..." The speaking technical staff officer looked up at the ceiling, "It's too fast to imagine..."

"Huh?" Rebil's curiosity was aroused when he heard the staff's tired and unloving tone.

"Three months ago, Lieutenant Colonel Ian Vasti of Gaburo redesigned Gaburo's production line. The new production line uses a large number of 3D printing technology and a small amount of autonomous nano-robots called nanomaterials. , The production cycle of new warships is less than one-tenth of the previous one. For example, the original assembly time of the enterprise class was nearly half a year, but it was shortened to three weeks, and the manufacturing time of more than 2 million man-hours was shortened to less than 100,000 man-hours. It is an automated production line that can run continuously for 24 hours.

On the whole, an enterprise-level manufacturing can now be manufactured from raw materials to a battleship in two months. The new type of Salamis can even reach the level of manufacturing a ship in three weeks. The current production level of the Gabro base is severely limited by the base's resource transportation capacity.

Now that the Third Fleet has been built, it is waiting for the crew to go to Gaburo to launch. "

"The replenishment and replacement ships of the First Fleet have already started construction on the Luna II. There, a brand new space dock is used, and the production efficiency is higher than that of Gaburo. The replenishment and replacement ships of the Second Fleet are carried out in Von Braun. manufacture."

"The new type of ship has a higher degree of automation in the second batch. The new type of Salamis only needs 5 people at least to fully utilize the performance of the warship. Even in extreme cases, it can also be used as an unmanned autonomous warship. Considering the damage It takes management and maintenance to maintain the crew at around 60 people."

"I see. The Third Fleet will return to Luna II for supplies first, and let them replenish the fleet. The Second Fleet will take over from the First Fleet to carry out the confrontation mission after the rest. Let's disband."

Rebill, who returned to his room, recalled several conversations he had with General Garp when the Minovsky particles were discovered and Zeon was confirmed to be developing a mobile weapon called MS.

At that time, neither I nor General Garp believed that warfare would be changed because of these new inventions. The brainstorming of the young staff officers organized by the two of them in private mostly came to the conclusion that if the ms can carry enough weapons to threaten the battleship, then the war will be dominated by Minovsky particles and ms.

However, most of the officers of the Federal Space Force are big ship gunners, and they don't believe that ms will threaten the battleship at all.

"It's just a fragile doll." That's how the old men of the Federal Equipment Development Committee commented on MS.

In the end, although Zeon has something to gain, the Federation can't? Based on the idea, the federation has also started the development of ms, but the progress is really unsatisfactory. This even made General Garp and himself anxious for a while.

Then, in 0075, Ian came, and the federation was gone forever on the road of the giant cannon of the big ship. Moreover, actual combat also showed that without the protection of Minovsky particles, Zeon's ms was in the middle of the federation's heavy fighter jets. In front of the naval guns, it really became a fragile doll.

Fortunately, the results of the RX project made the old man of the committee see the potential of ms, and ms was able to continue to develop.

It’s true that Xiao He is successful and Xiao He is defeated. Ian has already left a deep influence on the development of the federation’s equipment. Even the equipment developed by the federation itself is mostly heavy armor, high mobility, and a lot of external equipment. .

Now, the production line has changed? !

It is not that the Federation has not considered the application of fully automatic production lines, but what about workers?

Is that man going to start the Industrial Revolution?

Of course it's impossible...

After Ian completed the design of the new Salamis and the adjustment of the production line, he turned his energy to the development of the jump engine.

Among the quantum transition theory based on gn particles and the wormhole transition theory based on gravitons, Ian chose the latter, because Ian still has not observed the existence of the so-called God's egg particle in this world. But observing gravitons is relatively easy.

Moreover, the graviton technology in this world is not without it, it's just that it develops very slowly under the pressure of the omnipotent Minovsky particles.

After several months of (re)research, Ian developed the necessary pre-technology for the jump engine, the inertial control equipment. The prototype leap engine has already started production.

Looking at the slow progress of the laboratory's production of the jump engine, Ian felt that it would be better to improve the basic technology of the Federation, such as materials science, such as more advanced production technology.

"Why is the production technology of the Federation so far behind... The production technology cannot keep up, and the material science cannot keep up. There are basically no nanomaterials. It can be said that nanomaterials basically only exist in theory. The cost of laboratory manufacturing is high, and the speed So slow, what are you doing..." Ian rolled on the bed with his head in his arms.

Then Ian began to study the history of the Federation, and the Earth Federation was established in 1999. Hmm very united civilization.

The 67th Olympic Games will be held next year... emmm the timeline is aligned.

In other words, the year 0079 of the Universal Century is about 2163 in the Western calendar... Is it about 140 years behind the development of the 00 world? No wonder it’s been nearly 80 years since I migrated to the universe, and there are still many technologies that are far behind compared to the 2000th century...

After matching the timeline, Ian finally understood why the laboratory production efficiency of both the inertial control device and the gravity control device was so low.

"Forget it..." Ian left his research room and walked to the material R\u0026D group next door. "I hope the descendants of this world don't mess up. I don't want to wait hundreds of years to go home."

"Major Chen, help me build something, it may change the federation, or it may destroy the federation."

"...Then you should go to General Garp, not me, a small major, Lieutenant Colonel Varsity, you have made enough big news in the past few years, don't mess with me." Major Chen cried With all the hearts, destroy the Federation? Is this something I, a major, can explore?

"General Garp, you know I'm from outside the Earth."

"Of course, I knew it the first day you came."

"So, I have something to give to the Commonwealth but I'm not sure if it will destroy the Commonwealth."

"what?"

"Nano-robots that can add value by themselves can be used in both materials and engineering construction."
