Luke dreamed up a new weapon in just a few words, which made Mrs. Michel couldn't help but consider the feasibility and cost of such a weapon.

The purchase price of a Tin Woodman is 700,000 Reichsmarks. The main cost is in neurons and alchemical muscle fibers. The rest are relatively cheap industrial products. The purchase price of a steam engine box is 150,000 Reichsmarks. The main cost is in the steam engine.

And on the high and low air pressure opposing piston system.

If the usage of alchemical materials inside the Tin Woodman is reduced, and the steam engine box provides most of the power, the cost of a Tin Wood Man can be reduced to 200,000 Reichsmarks, which is 350,000 Reichsmarks with the addition of the steam engine case.

The cost is much less than before.

Although in the Governor's vision, the Steam Tin Woodman is almost a disposable product when entering battle, but the steam-assisted force only damages the body structure, which can be repaired and parts replaced, and the head with concentrated neurons can be recycled and reused.

Calculated in this way, as long as the supplies can keep up, the cost of using the Steam Tin Man to fight is not too high.

Moreover, reducing the consumption of alchemical materials can also improve production efficiency and allow more factories to participate.

As for redesigning and supporting the delivery tools, it is not too difficult for the Urban Alchemists Association.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Michel replied to Luke: "Governor, I will ask the City Alchemist Association to formulate a manufacturing plan for the Steam Tin Man as soon as possible. It is estimated that the purchase price of each Steam Tin Man is 350,000 Reichsmarks. If the production scale is large,

If so, we should be able to lower the price to less than 300,000. How many Steam Tin Woodmen need to be produced in the first batch?"

Luke thought about it.

Since we are planning to use Steam Tin Woodmen as common consumables in future battlefields, of course the more the better.

"First equip the Furious Armored Assault Division with 10,000 Steam Tin Woodmen, and then prepare 100,000 sets of accessories." Luke, who had a new idea, asked the director of the Cape District Machinery Factory: "You have the ability to turn the war into a new one."

Was the fort built as a mobile steam Tin Man assembly factory?"

After receiving Luke's question, the powerful machine tribe thought for a while and replied: "Report to the Governor, install the production line inside the war fortress... It should be possible to design the internal structure a little bit."

Luke asked again: "Can the production system from raw material processing to formal clothing be installed?"

this……

Wei Meng felt that his iron head could not keep up with the governor's thoughts: "Sir, from steelmaking to casting, as well as alchemy, refining, and processing... so many processes cannot be accommodated in a war fortress."

"If one doesn't work, build a few more, or dozens more." Luke said to everyone present: "We need to change the way we use war fortresses in the past, and we need to give full play to our own advantages and avoid our own disadvantages.

Insufficient manpower is a problem we cannot solve.

Our advantages are: we have the world's top technology, the world's largest industrial cluster, a large number of skilled workers, and money!

If we can compress our factories into war fortresses, we can put the weapons production line at the enemy's doorstep. I can produce massive amounts of steam Tin Woodmen, war fortresses, and more advanced weapons.

Let our army use steel to disrupt the enemy's attack and use steel to destroy the enemy's defense."

Luke described a new model of war, and everyone couldn't help but fall into the illusion of this mobile war factory.

Is it possible?

It seems the theory is feasible.

Multiple war fortresses arrive on the battlefield and are spliced ​​together to form a production factory. Multiple production factories can form a production system. Together with the transport-type war fortress loaded with raw materials, production can be carried out anywhere.

The function of the Raging Wave Armored Assault Division is to protect the war factory. As long as the war factory combination is in operation, it can continuously produce steam Tin Woodmen to consume the enemy.

When the enemy is exhausted, the Furious Wave Armored Assault Division can then launch a general attack, which will definitely greatly reduce its own personnel losses.

This kind of rich man who first uses money to stun the opponent and then reaps the rewards is probably only something that only Raging Wave City can afford.

Wei Meng pondered for a long time before saying: "How to design the war factory... we still need serious consideration and demonstration, and we also need the cooperation of the City Alchemists Association."

Mrs. Mihir said: "The City Alchemists Association will cooperate with the development and construction of war factories."

Looking at the two people with sad faces, Luke said confidently: "Don't underestimate the technology you have now. Use this war as an opportunity for technological integration and self-transcendence. It won't take long for you to discover that many

Anything you imagine can come true.

Don’t consider the cost of the war factory, use the best alchemy technology and steam machinery technology. As long as it appears on the battlefield, we will definitely earn back all our investment.”

Luke knows very well that the ensuing chaos will lead to a new round of technological explosion, and the already rapid technological growth will usher in further substantial improvements.

The war factory may seem like a fantasy, but it is technically not difficult to realize. If the players’ whimsical ideas on the war fortress can be used in the war factory, so that the war factory can get rid of logistics, it will really be an inconvenience.

Weapons bound by distance can be produced wherever they go, and they can hit wherever they want.

Thinking about the challenges he may face in the further future, Luke feels that the war factory will be his trump card, and he must deploy it as soon as possible and conduct research and development while doing actual combat.

Wei Meng and Mrs. Michelle expressed that they would do their best to organize the development of the war factory.

Luke then talked about the construction of war fortresses and war assembly factories, and then asked Yin Buer: "How many people have been invited to the list I gave you?"

Yin Buer replied: "Mr. Governor, there are a total of 1,256 people on the list you gave me. We have contacted 865 people, 450 of whom expressed their willingness to come to Nutao City for development, and 364 people have already arrived.

In accordance with your instructions, I gave them household registration in Nutao City and properly arranged their residence. The City Alchemist Association also gave priority to their membership applications, and the City Government Affairs Department has allocated special funds for them to carry out the research projects they want to do.

Others...we are still actively in contact, and I believe more people will join Raging Wave City."

After listening to Yin Buer's job introduction, Luke said: "Show them the strength and sincerity of our Raging Wave City, and let them know that the door of Raging Wave City is open to them at any time. But we must also let them know that those who come first will definitely get it.

More funds and resources support.

After the meeting, I will give you a list and do your best to invite the people I want."

Yin Buir immediately replied: "Yes, Mr. Governor, I promise to complete the tasks assigned by you."

The development of the times is inseparable from technical talents.

Lord type players have summed up the "Technical Demon Roster".

"Monster" is the name given to those young players with great potential in business football games. They often have very high development value and are extremely cheap.

The technical monsters in Era refer to those technicians who you ignore me now, but I will make you unable to reach them in the future.

The world's status of Raging Waves City in the economic and technological fields is very attractive to this kind of technical monster. Half of the people who can be contacted expressed their willingness to come to Raging Waves City, which shows how big a mistake Luke has picked up.

Dig people, keep poaching people.

No matter big demon or small demon, this governor... wants them all.

In addition to sending Yinbul to snare technical demons all over the world, Luke also released many world bounties through the Government Affairs Department. Through bounty missions, he invited bounty hunters and adventure teams to explore designated places.

The purpose is to collect useful ancient relics and high-value mysterious props.

The City of Raging Waves gave Luke a platform to reach out to any corner of the world. In many places, he didn't need to go there personally, and what he wanted would come to him.

Accumulation is a silent process of moisturizing things, and you only have to wait until the moment when you accumulate a lot.

The agenda of planning the future came to an end for the time being, and Luke turned his attention back to the immediate things.

"Inscolan, what's the situation in the Republic of Rio now?"

Viscount Inscolan gave an explanation at the meeting about what he knew about the situation in all parties in Rio.

As the Polaris Mercenary Group and mercenaries from all parties intervened in the civil war in Rio, the Watchers have firmly occupied several towns. There are still many people in Rio who still miss the old kingdom. When they see the Watchers gaining power, they join the Restoration Army one after another.

, there used to be many nobles who raised armies and divided their kingdoms to prepare for the king's army.

In short, the establishment of the Republic of Rio was too short, and the people at the bottom did not gain much benefit, so they did not care who ruled them. The Parliament of Rio was overwhelmed by the raging War of Restoration of the Watchers and had no time to pay attention to the crisis at sea.

Baron Jeff of Brilliant Island, with the financial support behind Raging Waves City, convened a large-scale pirate fleet. The pirates usually broke into pieces and continuously attacked the ships of the Republic of Leo. Occasionally, they would also focus on attacking Leo's ships.

Coastal cities.

After receiving two No. 1 machine-class battleships, Baron Jeff relied on these two battleships to reorganize the Brilliant Fleet. He personally led the Brilliant Fleet to set up an ambush circle at sea, and then asked the pirates to seduce Leo's navy, and then used the ships to

Jian Paoli and all the pirates attacked together.

If you encounter the Leo Navy's large fleet, go to Fishbone Island to hire the Cape District Anti-Smuggling Fleet.

Now the Leo Navy only dares to operate near offshore waters.

"The main force of Leo's navy is concentrated in four large military ports. They have smelled that we will launch an attack on them, so they are strengthening the warships day and night.

Shore fire defense capabilities have also been increased a lot.

If Leo's navy is huddled in the military port, we will suffer very heavy losses if we attack by force.

Moreover, the lookout has warned us many times and does not allow us to launch any form of attack on Leo."

Luke said: "Destroying Leo's maritime power and potential is to protect our maritime security, and also to show our maritime dominance to the world, so that our merchant ships can reach any sea area without being blocked.

This war will not be disturbed by any factors. No matter where the Leo Navy is hiding, they must be completely eliminated.

You continue to collect information about Leo's navy, and I will negotiate with the watchers."

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Luke then asked Mrs. Tasia, the Naga Queen: "How are the preparations for the anti-smuggling fleet in the Cape District?"

Tasia replied: "Reporting to the Governor... The main force of Cape District's anti-smuggling fleet has been training on Fishbone Island. Now we have received 25 No. 1 aircraft-class warships, 50 modified armed ships, 136 speedboats, and 20 airships of various types.

.

The Cape District anti-smuggling fleet is fully staffed and ready to attack at any time."

"How many ships can the Raging Waves City Navy and Brilliance send out?"

"The Furious Wave Navy can dispatch 15 No. 1 machine-class battleships, 35 wooden dome-armored battleships, 38 armed supply ships, and 23 airships.

Brilliant Island can dispatch 2 No. 1 aircraft-class battleships, 46 other warships, and 6 airships.

In addition, Brilliant Island can also summon more than two hundred pirate ships. Pirates cannot participate in the main battle at sea, but they can serve as guerrillas and blockades."
