Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 1117 Insufficient Materials

"I don't understand. We have completed the production test and improved it, and have produced a product that can operate normally. Is there any trouble?"

Emma was about to answer, but Alyssa suddenly made a wait gesture.

She stared at the screen, visually confirmed it through the camera, and clicked on the automatic detection program. After ensuring that it was correct, she said to the personal terminal:

"I have confirmed that all the holes are aligned, and we can continue with the docking."

This docking refers to mounting the booster rocket on the Swan. Because it is in a gravity environment, Fang Lanyin is still a little uncomfortable with operating the crane, and it is difficult to make fine adjustments, so more people need to observe whether the holes are aligned.

After finishing all this, Alyssa turned back:

"Where were we talking about? Oh, there is already a finished product. Any other questions?"

"The problem is that there is only one finished product."

Irene said:

"We have tested the operation of the device, but we cannot test the effectiveness of the anti-reactor shield."

Because of the lack of manpower, Villania, who also went to help these days, added:

"In short, we need to build two or three more, or even more, for control tests."

"Then build it."

"That's the problem."

Villania spread her hands:

"We don't have enough materials."

Then Emma took out a list of materials and handed it to Alyssa. The latter took a look. Although there were a few rare metals on the list, they were not priceless and were commonly used in the shipbuilding industry.

"There should be stocks of these raw materials, right? Have they all been used up?"

As she spoke, Alyssa looked at Lieutenant Dui who was following her. The latter looked embarrassed and explained:

"According to the records in the terminal, there are sufficient supplies in this base, and the materials in the list are also full, but..."

Looking at Lieutenant Dui's expression, Alyssa understood.

Pocket-linquent, right?

A secret base like this that is marginalized but well-funded has not been taken seriously for a long time, and someone will definitely have bad intentions.

In the final analysis, it is still due to inadequate supervision.

"Is it not enough to have only one?"

"It is far from enough. We cannot convince the top leaders of the Rotating Water Federation to put it into use based on the data of a finished product."

It takes a long time for a product, especially a military product, to be put into the battlefield. Even during the war, many projects had to be rushed, but no one took a prototype and asked it to go into production.

You want data, but you don't have it. You only have one finished product. If something goes wrong with you and seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the Rotating Water Federation fleet, you will be shot a hundred times.

Banning asked Alyssa to come to this secret factory first because he was afraid that he could not convince the top leaders of the Water Spinning Federation. He wanted to get results here first, collect data, and preferably test it on the ship, so that he would have confidence.

But before all this could be implemented, Brigadier General Banning was gone, and the entire planet and even the entire galaxy might have fallen into the hands of the Red Maple Republic.

The Water Spinning Federation was at a critical moment, and even Alyssa, the very famous granddaughter of the hero, did not have the ability to convince the top leaders that the unproven and unknown device could protect the fleet reactor from interference.

In short, if you want to strengthen the persuasiveness, one finished product is definitely not enough, you need many, and it would be even better if you can collect confrontation data.

Having said that, there is only one finished product now, but haven't you produced a lot of defective products in the past few days? Can't you dismantle those things to recycle the raw materials and put them back into the automatic production line?

Of course not.

The premise of the automatic production line to produce things is that there are raw materials of standardized size, not everything you throw in can be rubbed out for you.

The automatic production line is not an automatic recycling plant, let alone a universal wishing machine.

So now we need to get the raw materials needed for the automatic factory, otherwise we can forget about the finished equipment. Even if the finished product is successful, if something goes wrong, there will be no replacement parts.

Verania and the others are just researchers, not alchemists who can be exchanged with equal value, and they can't get the required raw materials.

So they all came to Alyssa.

"We don't have much time, and there are warships of the Red Maple Republic everywhere in orbit..."

"I know this is difficult, but please think of a way."

Not long ago, Alyssa monitored the Red Maple Republic's communication on the public channel in low-Earth orbit through passive communication equipment. It is estimated that the Rotating Water Federation is preparing to counterattack this galaxy, which is why the Swan is now equipped with booster rockets.

As long as the opportunity of the Red Maple Republic and the Rotating Water Federation is seized, the Swan can take the opportunity to run away.

But now you tell me that more raw materials are needed to make finished products?

"Can't we postpone it?"

"No, this galaxy has the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer, which is the best area for collecting data. Once we miss this opportunity, even if we have ready-made production line manufacturing equipment, we still can't collect enough data."

Alyssa sighed. Although she often dances on the edge of a knife, it doesn't mean she likes it.

Now the Red Maple Republic has suppressed the planet. Maybe there are Red Maple Republic's assault landing ships and ground equipment patrols everywhere outside the base. It is definitely a very risky thing to run out to find raw materials at this time.

But again, Alyssa is used to dancing on the edge of a knife.

"I'm not a local and don't know much about this place. Lieutenant Duy, do you know where I can find the materials on the list around here?"

"You should be able to find it in a city about a hundred kilometers away from the base. I used to be a dock worker. I know there is one in the warehouse at the dock."

"The problem is the distance of one hundred kilometers..."

Driving a jet ski or flying motorcycle for a hundred kilometers, you will probably be shot once you are discovered.

But if you drive the Swan to find it, then there is no need to talk about returning. The target is too big, and you will definitely be discovered and besieged, and maybe even blown up by orbital bombing.

"I have a proposal regarding this."

Lieutenant Duy said:

"plz follow me."

He led everyone to the back of the base, that is, the side of the beach, and used his dog tag as identification to open a large hangar near the shore.

As the gate slowly lifted, a streamlined ship about fifty meters long, seven or eight meters wide, with a matt black color appeared in front of everyone.

This should not be a spaceship, because the bottom is still semicircular and is lifted from the ground on a support frame with wheels.

Alyssa looked over and noticed the propeller at the tail of the thing.

"Is this... a submarine?"

"A deep-diving support ship. I heard that it was sent here for sea trials thirty years ago. Later, after the data was collected, the ship stayed here."

"Thirty years ago? Is this thing still usable?"

Of course, the focus of military development is still starships, but armaments that can only be used on planets are also in demand, but their development is slower.

The problem is that this thing has been here for thirty years, and its reliability is quite questionable.

Moreover, Fang Lanyin only knows how to repair aircraft, but not submersibles. It is a problem to figure out how to repair them.

Hearing Alyssa's question, Lieutenant Duy scratched his head in embarrassment:

"It should be fine. We regularly maintain it. Last month we even went fishing in the nearby sea on it."

"..."

Are you soldiers too undisciplined?
