515. Construction plan for Antarctic airport

The twin island base covered in ice and snow.

Rorschach, who had just returned to the base hall, couldn't wait to hold an impromptu roundtable meeting.

Except for Iron Man David and the carrier-based machine spirit Cortana.

Even Servo Skull, who was working hard to dismantle the T'au Empire battle suit and gain technological experience for the title of Micro Knight and Sage, was called over.

And the reason why Rorschach came to them.

Just to discuss how his simulation rewards should be chosen.

At this moment, Luo Xia, who raised a vibranium palm and rubbed his chin, glanced at the people in front of him.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Now there is such a thing. We can immediately obtain a brand-new Cobra-class destroyer, or through various means, the opportunity to obtain an Emperor-class battleship. Please note that it is an opportunity to obtain, which means that we will There is a possibility of failure, rather than being safe like a Cobra-class destroyer.”

“So, if you have any ideas, you can share them.”

After hearing Rorschach's inquiry.

Iron Man David, whose eyes flashed with blue light, shook his metal head slightly.

But it didn't say much, but turned to look at Raditus who was parked on the metal round table.

"Ah, first of all, we would like to congratulate the primarch for once again gaining favor from the great emperor. This is a precious honor that deserves to be remembered by all of us."

"Although according to the concepts and ideas of our Adeptus Mechanicus, big is good, big is wonderful, and the value of the Emperor-class battleship and the Cobra-class destroyer are not comparable at all, but we still need to consider the impact of practical factors."

"Currently, the number of all our sub-bases, including the automatic servo robots in Latovilla, is about 70,000 to 80,000. Counting the reserve quantity of the Shizi Island Foundry, let's calculate it as 100,000."

"If the Primarch chooses the Emperor-class battleship, the first thing we need is a low-Earth orbit airport that can be used for daily parking and maintenance. Then all the production lines of the foundry will need to be temporarily stopped. After all, we only deal with the construction of airports. Metal materials are a very troublesome thing.”

"Since the original body will not recruit a large number of mortals to participate in construction tasks, the number of automatic servo robots must be expanded several times to carry out basic work. In fact, even if we want to recruit mortal servants, the number of people we control now is not enough. of."

"Don't look at me strangely, this is not over yet... If everything goes well and the airport is completed, I remember that the Emperor-class battleship needs at least 25,000 skilled crew members to be able to barely move. Please note that here Activation refers to starting the subspace engine. If you want to deploy the void shield and control the weapon array, I think one million people is a more ideal number. "

At this moment, Raditus was lying on the metal round table with his short robotic arm waving back and forth.

It spoke quickly to the people around it.

And it finished every sentence.

Luo Xia's brows frowned, and her expression gradually changed.

"Dear Primarch, I can prove that what your technical priest said is basically correct. The original Tempest battle barge had more than two million mortal servants stationed in my body all year round, and it was maintained daily. The number of servants required is just a few more."

At this moment, Cortana, the carrier-based aircraft soul that looked like a giant metal caterpillar, spoke to Rorschach in a mechanical tone.

And after hearing the other party's words.

Rorschach, who squinted his eyes, took a deep breath and asked again in a deep voice:

"So, what if we were realistic and just chose Cobra-class destroyers?"

"Master Primarch, according to the ship data I know, the Cobra-class destroyer is only 1.5 kilometers long, 0.3 kilometers wide, and weighs about 5.7 million tons. There is no need to build a near-ground airport. Any sub-base It can be converted into a dock. Moreover, due to the relatively small size of the ship, many internal facilities can be transformed on a large scale. Some equipment locations that originally required manual control can be turned into fully automated facilities. In this way, fifteen thousand The number of human crew members can be reduced to 5,000 to 3,000 people, which can greatly reduce the burden on our team.”

At this moment, Reditus's eyes flashed red.

It seemed to calculate all the data and then reported to Rorschach.

Rorschach did not continue to speak. He waved to everyone, disbanding the temporary round table meeting.

The next moment, Raditus, driving the anti-gravity engine, slowly rose into the air.

It circled back and forth a few times facing the carrier-based machine soul that was slowly moving its metal limbs, and then flew straight into the base passage.

After the huge carrier-based aircraft soul Cortana also left the base hall.

Iron Man David, who had remained silent, leaned slightly towards Rorschach and said:

"My Lord, if you really can't give up the Emperor-class battleship, you can get it first. Although Reditus's words are true, our power is not static. As time goes by, we You can conquer more places and gain more populations, so that the Emperor-class battleship can become one of your vehicles..."

"There is no need to persuade me, David. As the original body, my goal should be the Queen of Glory class battleship, rather than hesitating for a mere Emperor-class battleship!"

At this moment, Rorschach, whose brows gradually relaxed, seemed to have made up his mind.

He suddenly smiled at Iron Man David and said softly:

"There are no enemies in the local world that need Emperor-class battleships to deal with, and wasting a lot of productivity and population for an Emperor-class battleship is a loss-making thing."

"And whether the subspace engine can be used in the local world also requires us to verify it ourselves, so a Cobra-class destroyer that can be obtained immediately is actually our best choice."

"David, I remember that the Antarctic base has always been vacant, right? How is the construction there?"

After hearing Rorschach's inquiry.

Iron Man David's eyes flashed blue light.

It spoke slowly:

"My Lord, do you want to set up the Antarctic base as our dock? That is indeed a suitable place. The automatic servo robots and some mechanical creations left there before did not have any important tasks, so I can only set them the basic goals of expanding and maintaining the base."

"Now, if the land of the Antarctic base is indeed suitable, it is also worth looking forward to building an airport in and out of Terra in the Antarctic in the future."

Thank you all for your support!
