Chapter 226 Mass Production Plan

Still not working...

Thinking.

Chongyan erased all the model frames drawn on the blackboard. It was not enough, still not enough.

Either make it bigger and rely on a more powerful engine to drive the airship, or make it smaller and compress the internal space in exchange for a higher load.

Relying on the original template would not be able to meet the lord's requirements. He was very clear about this.

He considered moving the entire steam engine of the steam spider to increase the movement speed, but that plan would cause the already small load to further decline, turning it into a pure infantry transport unit.

He chose to add a sail on each wing of the airship that could move quickly with the help of wind power, so as to increase the weight to a minimum while speeding up the bulky airship.

Although the design drawings have not yet come out, he has increased the engine output by 5%, from the 80% that the dean handed over to him at the beginning to 90%.

90% is the upper limit of the engine output. Every step down is extremely difficult. The remaining 10% is the gap between them and the first movers that must be filled with time.

Relying on continuous improvement to turn the airship into a qualified transport boat, the weight must be able to transport the steam spider, which is the minimum requirement.

Chongyan knocked on the table. The steam spider has project information, so the development speed is faster than starting from scratch, and it is said that they have also invited foreign aid to assist in the research.

Relying on the small factory affiliated to the School of Engineering, it has begun to try to produce the preliminary finalized steam spider on a small scale, reducing the risk of self-explosion and accidental injury to friendly forces.

The small factory of the School of Engineering has 50% of the efficiency of the standard factory. The steam-driven hydraulic press can assist in processing most of the larger parts and frame structures.

Like a heavy hammer falling, the steel frame is forged one by one.

Then the excellent talisman craftsman apprentices selected for the frame draw the positions where the reinforcement talismans need to be engraved along the blueprint with chalk. After the talismans are engraved, the workers assemble them bit by bit. According to the standard process, this should not require the participation of the dean. Just like he taught the territory workers to make fishing boats, he could be a hands-off boss if he could figure out the method and process.

Steam spiders are units of the fifth era, and their internal structure has begun to become complicated. They are units that will be deployed on the battlefield. There must be someone familiar with the overall process to check on them, and this responsibility falls on the head of the academy.

Two units per week, eight units per month.

Two hundred people are invested monthly, and each steam spider consumes three units of floating stones - the main feature is a powerful brick flying.

The current thirty infantry squads in the territory need fifteen weeks to be fully equipped to the squad level, and only five weeks to be equipped to the platoon level.

With the bonus of blood purification, the speed of craftsmen apprentices and workers is faster than that of the people under other lords.

The steam spider has made a breakthrough, and now the pressure of scientific research will be given to Chongyan.

There is no way. The only structures that Ranna is familiar with are steam spiders and steam mechs. Ji Lin gave priority to her to assist in the research and development of steam spiders and put them into production as soon as possible. Although she has a strong research ability, she is not a special talent in scientific research, and she can't help in areas she doesn't understand.

The research and development progress of steam spiders and steam mechs is improving rapidly.

Seeing those territory standard steam spiders, which are much thicker than the original steam spiders, shaking their bodies, and the exhaust pipes on their backs spewing white mist and smoke as they walk down the production line, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Three units of floating stones, one unit of floating stones is sold for ten gold in the market.

20% movement speed bonus, enhanced all-terrain adaptability.

50% increase in carrying capacity, each steam spider can now carry an additional 300 kilograms of supplies/equipment.

Safety is improved. Steam spiders can increase the load brought by floating stones to install more protective parts for themselves to avoid accidents.

Armor rate is increased. The armor strength of the new steam spider can reach 90, which can resist most low-era projectile attacks... You don't have to worry about being unlucky enough to be hit by a direct shot at the open internal mechanical structure and cause it to collapse. The steam spiders designed in that world have their structures completely exposed to the outside. Multiple rounds of intensive volleys of muskets can cause them to collapse as long as they hit the key parts.

Three units of floating stones are still quite painful.

It's a pity that the territory does not have long-range weapons for such units. 30mm infantry support artillery can be installed on them.

The replaceable barrels and ammunition carried by a steam spider are enough to destroy the accompanying shooting team's hands and still have some left.

The territory has its own construct units, which have combat constructs of the same level as monster infantry.

"Thank you."

Although she was working as an assistant in scientific research, Jeanna's actual office was still in the city hall. She added a chair next to Ji Lin and sat next to him at the same desk.

She stuck to Ji Lin every day and had no intention of leaving.

It was indeed a bit... so Ji Lin felt a little sorry for asking someone who should have been resting to work.

He took Jeanna for a walk in the territory... and avoided the church of the Church of the God of Light. Due to official business, he couldn't leave the territory too far and take her to play in the dense forest.

There was the holy city of Tran to go to, but it wouldn't be a simple social death problem if he ran into an acquaintance there.

He really didn't dare to take Jeanna with him.

"Jeanna, is there anything you want?"

Ji Lin looked at Jeanna who was sitting next to him. She shook her head and put down the paper and pen in her hand.
