In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Li Ming listened to the officer's report while taking notes, and his chief secretary, Wang, was rapidly typing on a laptop.

Li Ming directly asked, "General Zhang, is the capacity at our naval shipyard currently strained?"

"Chief, yes, it is. The main reason is the sheer number of fishing boats that need to be refitted, numbering in the thousands, and there are more fishing boats and ocean freighters to come."

"So, facing such a large number of ships, the two naval shipyards are still somewhat insufficient!"

Li Ming nodded. "Taraji is just our first base. We will have more naval bases in the future. Currently, we have over 60 naval bases under construction around the world. Once those bases are completed, the burden here will be much lighter."

The others present nodded in agreement. Seeing their reaction, Li Ming continued, "General Zhang, please continue!"

General Zhang quickly continued, "Normally, in the current naval warfare model, the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft should be the main force in naval combat. However, because we have made relevant modifications to missile destroyers and other ships, our missile ships and other vessels also have an attack range comparable to carrier-based aircraft."

"After our discussion, we believe that carrier-based aircraft should be upgraded and refitted. We need to walk on two legs, that is, to emphasize both the missile strike capability of ships and carrier-based aircraft, and develop them together."

Li Ming agreed with this approach. Currently, the naval vessel missiles on his side, in addition to upgrading existing stockpiles of missiles, are also producing a small number of new missiles for testing.

In addition, Li Ming's military industry strategy is to modify one generation, equip a small number of the next generation, and pre-research and develop the next generation, continuously improving military technology.

Overall, the future is promising.

General Zhang continued, "We have also carried out relevant modification and upgrade plans for carrier-based aircraft, upgrading the latest engines to significantly improve the range, maneuverability, and payload of the fighters."

"In addition, the fighter's fire control radar has also been upgraded. Currently, the radar's detection range for non-stealth targets has been increased to about 750 kilometers, and the detection range for stealth targets is about 550 kilometers. Using existing modified and upgraded air combat missiles, we can launch strikes against stealth targets at a distance of 450 kilometers and against non-stealth targets at a distance of 500 kilometers."

"In addition, the related seafood processing plant at our base is also under construction. We are currently upgrading the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and supporting ships that the Chief obtained, and it is expected that the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier strike group will form a stronger combat capability in half a month."

Li Ming was quite satisfied with this progress. Upgrading an aircraft carrier battle group in a month without affecting the refitting of ocean-going fishing boats is already very good.

It should be noted that the modification and upgrade of an aircraft carrier battle group is not that simple. First of all, the power of the aircraft carrier and the power system of the nuclear submarine must be replaced.

They need to replace all of their original reactors with safer and more reliable cold fusion reactors to power the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine.

Secondly, carrier-based aircraft, submarines, missile destroyers, frigates, etc. also need to be upgraded.

To some extent, this is no less difficult than rebuilding an aircraft carrier fleet. Except for the hull of the ship, which does not need to be rebuilt, many other things inside and out need to be replaced.

After all, the Tianying Empire's warships have a minimum service life of more than 10 years, and the highest has been in service for 20 or 30 years, so Li Ming needs to upgrade them to extend their service life.

The navy's future status will be very important, because if the army is a military branch that protects its own territory, the navy is a fist that can be punched out with a large operating radius.

Moreover, Li Ming vaguely learned from the system that there may be plate collisions in the future, and the entire global continent will be destroyed. At this time, the importance of the navy is beyond doubt.

That's why he is fully developing the navy.

While Li Ming was taking notes and thinking, General Zhang continued to explain the current situation of the entire base. Li Ming nodded repeatedly, and overall he was very satisfied with the current progress.

After Li Ming finished listening to General Zhang, he asked, "What is the Navy's current plan for building a navy with how many people and how much equipment?"

This question needs to be answered by the Navy Commander. An admiral wearing naval camouflage said, "Chief, our current plan is for the Navy to temporarily use the ships that the Chief obtained from the Tianying Empire and other countries. Of course, we must also ensure our own ship production capacity."

"According to the current overall situation, we can maintain a navy of about 13 aircraft carrier battle groups in order to achieve the goal of dominating the world. Future development will need to be modified based on future circumstances."

Li Ming continued to ask, "Are there sufficient naval soldiers and officer strength?"

"Chief, there is no need to worry about the troop strength. We can upgrade the ships on the one hand and recruit on the other!"

Li Ming nodded. At this time, the naval soldiers he recruited were going to operate those armed fishing boats, ocean-going fishing boats, and freighters.

"By the way, what are you planning to do with these ocean-going freighters?" Li Ming suddenly remembered that he had obtained many freighters, so he decided to ask.

"Chief, we plan to transform these freighters into specialized mobile fish and seafood processing workshops and storage workshops. After all, compared to the displacement of several thousand tons of these ocean-going fishing boats, the displacement of freighters is larger and more suitable for these things."

"According to our calculations, the ocean-going freighters that the Chief obtained are basically starting at around 50,000 tons, with only a few freighters of 10,000 to 20,000 tons. These small freighters can be used for coastal activities, and ocean-going freighters should follow ocean-going fishing boats. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Li Ming was very satisfied. "What can be processed on an ocean-going freighter after it is改造?"

"Chief, the processing capacity of such a large seafood processing ship transformed from an ocean-going freighter is very terrifying, basically no less than a small seafood and aquatic product processing plant. It can perform various preliminary processing of seafood, and even process finished products directly into canned foods and the like."

Great, great.

Li Ming was worried about what to do with these freighters. He initially took the freighters just for the containers, but he didn't expect these freighters to have this effect...
