Monster Factory - 837

Upgrade to the seventh stage, the number of workers that the Monster Factory can recruit doubled to 640.

Prior to this, all three hundred and twenty monsters had been recruited by Ye Qing and put into factory production. The factory assembly line was also built according to the quota of monster workers. Now the quota has doubled, but Ye Qing only recruited two wild monsters and 18 monsters for the time being to put into trial production of new products.

The Longxitan factory at night is like a bright pearl blooming on the coastline of Zhongyun City.

Centered on the moon-ring barren hill above the underground base, on the left and right sides are more than three kilometers of land, and there are large and neat factory buildings. The lights here are like shining stars in the Milky Way. The stars are densely distributed around the factory buildings and on both sides of the road. There are many spotlights on the barren hills. The 360-degree land without any dead ends sweeps across every piece of the factory.

Here, apart from the Thunder Car production center, the sealed slipway on the seashore is the most magnificent.

It is nearly fifteen stories high, and one-third of it is still built in sea water. The two steel doors by the sea have broken through the limits of people’s perception of doors.

Of course, those two iron doors were not for people. Ye Qing walked in from the maintenance tunnel and just saw two wild giants with mountain-like figures carefully wiping the ship’s hull with a “rag” pulled from nowhere. In front of them, the 20,000-ton humpback whale is just a truck.

But in front of Ye Qing, the Humpback Whale is a steel island, or a steel fortress.

Its overall shape is a rhombus polyhedron, which is very different from the narrow and long hull of ordinary civil ships. If viewed from above, it is more like an armored assault vehicle magnified countless times, or a futuristic tank without a turret.

The smaller the contact area of the hull with water, the smaller the resistance when the ship is sailing.

If the super giant ship in front of us floats on the water like an ordinary ship, I am afraid that most of its power will be used to offset the resistance of the sea.

It is a pity that this is not an ordinary ship, it is a nuclear-powered “air cushion” alloy giant ship with a maximum speed of over 130 knots.

Under the application of the world’s top nuclear power units, two electromagnetic engines with a total power of 400,000 kilowatts, relying on ultra-supercritical generator sets, burst power, approaching two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

It is also 30 knots faster than the initial estimated speed of 100 knots.

Standing in front of this huge ship over a hundred meters in length, what Ye Qing felt was a technological beauty that broke the limits of heavy industrial manufacturing.

If anyone has witnessed a large ocean-going ship or a large warship at close range. You will find that the ship originally seen in the picture is not as mighty and gorgeous as in the picture. The bigger the ship looks, the more like…

The more like “building blocks” covered by iron sheets, the whole hull has pits and pits, and the outline of the keel compartment is clearly visible, without any aesthetic feeling at all.

The insiders always jokingly claim that the sheet metal masters are not good at craftsmanship. The outsiders can’t figure out why, like frigates, destroyers, and even aircraft carriers, these important ships, which represent the highest level of industrial technology in a country, can’t even weld their hulls well?

In fact, this can’t be blamed on the sheet metal craftsmanship of the shipbuilders.

To give us a very common simple example, the ball is a very common thing. But good leather balls are all stitched together with pieces of leather.

Because the ball is a quadric surface, the entire flat leather cannot be made into a spherical surface. Many small planes can only be combined into an approximate spherical surface. The smaller the plane, the closer the combined shape will be.

The same principle applies to the giant wheel we see.

The outline of a huge ship is far more complicated than a sphere, and it is also the largest product that can be manufactured by human industry.

The hull of a ship is made up of countless pieces of marine steel. These originally horizontal steel plates need to be processed piece by piece according to the outline of the huge ship hull to change the original shape.

Our human eyes can recognize accuracy errors up to one-fifth of a millimeter. The human eye can recognize more than 40 million pixels.

However, the processing and shaping of complex curved steel plates has always been a problem in the world’s industry.

Until now, CNC large-scale and complex curved steel plate forming equipment has been a secret weapon in various countries. At the same time, the machining accuracy is often claimed to be less than one millimeter. In actual machining, the error is mostly greater than one millimeter.

In the face of these data, it is impossible for modern industrial technology to process countless pieces of marine steel until the accuracy error cannot be discerned by the naked eye.

Not to mention the deformation of the complex curved steel plate during transportation and installation after processing, and the thermal deformation during welding.

Therefore, the most intuitive judgment of the technical capabilities of a shipyard is to see if the ships they build are too pitted.

If it is too serious, if the propaganda of this shipyard blows loudly, it must be a half bucket, and the internal workmanship of the ship will not be much better.

Fortunately, the overall strength of a ship is not guaranteed by these shell steel plates. But look at the internal keel structure, so the shell potholes do not affect the performance of the ship.

However, standing next to the Humpback Whale’s super giant ship, what Ye Qing admired was a completely different industrial beauty.

The humpback whale welded by more than 10,000 alloy module forgings, no matter what angle Ye Qing looks at, it will always be “smooth”, “smooth” and “horizontal”.

It is like a polyhedron hull composed of mirrors, more like an exquisite handicraft to the limit, any ship engineer can not pick out a slight angle error.

The blatant lines seem to be able to break through all the bow collision angles.

On the top of the humpback whale’s diamond-shaped turtle back, there is even a diamond-like black mirror polyhedron device.

It is the secret weapon of the Humpback Whale.

Ye Qing walked into the interior of the humpback whale along the member passage in the cabin on one side with a telescopic design.

A pure and white industrial world appeared in front of Ye Qing. The interior of the dark humpback whale, both the bulkhead and the floor, are painted in white.

Ordinary people walking here are very easy to lose their sense of space and direction. Of course, the humpback whale does not accept ordinary people.

Every time Ye Qing walked ten meters, he would pass a watertight door with automatic opening and closing function. Each watertight door represents a watertight compartment.

At the same time, on both sides of the aisle, there will be a grid extending out, any watertight compartment unfortunately enters water, and the pipe-damaged equipment inside the grid will quickly discharge the seawater out of the cabin.

All the circuits here are also protected against water, ranging from a single switch to a lighting lamp, as large as a lubricating oil pump, an air compressor, and a centralized control switchboard.

Ye Qing walked on a familiar road here. After passing more than 20 watertight doors and on an escalator that was more than five stories high, Ye Qing came to the cockpit of the humpback whale.

The cockpit is different from any ship.

Standing here, you can overlook the entire back of the Humpback Whale, and you can also clearly see the four cargo compartment hatches above the back of the ship and the two huge steel gates blocking the bow.

Open the front door, and the humpback whale can swim in the sea, which amazes the world.
