Zong Wudao's house, Han Lang's room.
Through the remote encrypted channel, Han Lang saw Lee Yu. No matter how far a person traveled, they would always think about their hometown, so Han Lang would contact Earth every once in a while.
"Why are you alone?" Han Lang asked Lee Yu curiously.
Lee Yu said excitedly, "Because I'm too busy. The flagship production line will be officially put into production in a few days. Ever since you left, Long Chuan and Tarin would only come out of the ruins when they agreed to meet you. They usually eat and sleep on the production line.
"This is the most critical moment. Long Chuan and Tarin are holding their ground. They asked me to send their regards to you."
"It's finally going into production!? That's great! " Han Lang waved his fist excitedly. Every time he heard good news from Earth, he would be excited.
Lee Yu nodded and took out four blueprints, waving them in front of Han Lang. She said in a deep voice, "Within three days, the production line will be officially put into operation. Long Chuan asked me to ask you for your opinion. Which of the four types of small aircraft carriers should we prioritize?"
"Sigh, I didn't expect Earth to have so many blueprints. We don't know which one to use. This was unimaginable in the past!"
Han Lang said in a deep voice, "My opinion is that it's better to specialize than to be all-rounded. After all, these four small aircraft carriers have different structures and tactical directions. If we build all four types, the workers will have to change jobs constantly, which is not good for production efficiency. The soldiers will also have to be trained according to the different performance of the ships. It's very troublesome."
"In the early stages, it's better to only build one type of aircraft carrier. Then, we will train the technical personnel needed for this type of aircraft carrier to maximize production efficiency and optimize the personnel structure."
"When we have our first flagship fleet and no one dares to think about Earth, we can consider building other types of ships."
Lee Yu nodded. "Long Chuan and I think so too. After all, what Earth needs now is a foothold. How can we establish a foothold in the Milky Way? Of course, the most effective way is to pull out a large enough fleet! I completely agree to build up the army first and then optimize it. "
"But these four types of aircraft carriers have their own advantages. We have to choose one."
Han Lang smiled and said, "I suggest choosing the Dark Axe class."
"Dark Axe rank?"
"That's right, the Nether Axe class, which means Underworld Tomahawk. Among the four types of aircraft carriers, the Nether Axe class doesn't have the highest defense, nor does it have the most drones, but it has the best overall performance."
"Not only does the Dark Axe have a thousand attack drones of various models, but it is also equipped with long-range cannons. It has some of the functions of a battleship. Since we don't plan to build battleships or smaller cruisers and destroyers, we will directly build the flagship fleet. A Dark Axe with an artillery system is very important to us."
Changing the topic, Han Lang asked, "What do you think is the biggest characteristic of our flagship fleet?"
Lee Yu thought for a moment. "Firepower?"
Han Lang said, "It's quantity! As long as Earth can pull out enough capital ships in the shortest time possible, no one will dare to bully us anymore! This number doesn't have to be higher than the 12 permanent members, but it must be enough to scare the wits out of existences like the Sali Empire! "
"The reason why I chose the Dark Axe class is because it's a very different type of aircraft carrier. It's fast, has a simple structure, and correspondingly requires the shortest time."
"In the same time, we can use this flagship production line to build a heavy-duty aircraft carrier, or we can build two high-speed aircraft carriers like the Dark Axe class. It goes without saying which one to choose, right?"
Lee Yu nodded heavily. "You're right. Even if the high-speed aircraft carrier's armor is a little weaker, it's still an aircraft carrier! It's also a flagship! A few years later, when we display a bunch of Dark Axe class at the doorstep of the Sali Empire, I guarantee they'll be scared out of their wits! "
"But then again, our brothers miss you very much. When will you come back?"
Han Lang shrugged and said, "That's not up to me. I'm still a wanted criminal in the Alliance. If I go back, I'll bring trouble to everyone."
Lee Yu sighed and did not say anything.
Everyone knew that Han Lang loved his hometown and was willing to sacrifice everything for it. However, fate made a fool out of him. Han Lang, who loved his hometown, could not return to Earth and could only wander outside.
Thinking of this, everyone felt upset. Han Lang's sacrifice for Earth had also become the motivation for the soldiers who stayed behind to fight. Now, every Earthling was devoted to building their hometown with all their enthusiasm.
Han Lang and Lee Yu chatted for a while longer. He told Lee Yu to keep it a secret. Then, Han Lang turned off the long-distance communication and set off for the Forgotten Realm's eighth planet.
After the battle with Wang Qin, Han Lang was determined to get himself a better starship. Therefore, Zong Wudao recommended a place called Pinewood Shipyard to Han Lang.
.....
To be precise, Pinewood Shipyard was not on the eighth planet, but on the fifth satellite outside the eighth planet's orbit.
The entire satellite was owned by Pinewood Shipyard. Han Lang's shuttle landed at the airport after being notified. When he got off, he saw many starships waiting to be modified. Most of them were frigates, and there were not many larger destroyers and cruisers.
Han Lang got off the shuttle and looked around. He found that the starships docked in the shipyard were the most popular models in the galaxy. There were the Falcon class, the Eris class, the Hound class, the Hummingbird class, and so on.
Zong Wudao had praised Pinewood Shipyard to the skies, claiming that it could provide the worst starships in the galaxy. This made Han Lang very confused. The worst starship? What did that mean? Wouldn't the starship be unusable if it was broken? What was there to brag about?
"You're Han Lang, right?" A young man in blue work attire walked over from afar. He looked quite simple and honest.
Han Lang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm Han Lang. I called yesterday to make an appointment."
The young man wiped the grease off his hands and extended his hand. "I'm Mo Xiaobei. Wu Song Lin is my master. He's waiting for you in the workshop."
Han Lang shook hands with Mo Xiaobei and followed him to a warehouse style workshop in front of them.
Pinewood Shipyard was named after the owner of the shipyard. Soon, Han Lang saw Wu Song Lin, whom Zong Wudao had praised highly. He was a skinny old man with a scar on his face and a pair of strange electronic glasses.
Wu Song Lin asked Xiao Bei to get a few bottles of drinks while he brought Han Lang to a simple wooden table in the workshop. He tossed the electronic glasses onto the table. This thing could see through the starship's armor to see the structure inside. It was used to check if the starship's structure was in good condition.
"How's Brother Wu Dao? I heard that you guys razed the Wang Family to the ground yesterday? "Wu Song Lin asked as soon as he sat down.
Han Lang smiled bitterly. "It wasn't us. It was Teacher Wu Dao and the others. I just followed them to watch the show."
"Teacher? You call him Teacher Wu Dao? "Wu Song Lin was startled." Did Brother Wu Dao accept you as his disciple? "
Han Lang hurriedly explained, "No, it's just a way to show respect. But I did learn a few things from them."
"Them? Not only are you learning from Wu Dao, who else are you learning from? Wu Yun? Ye Can? "Wu Song Lin asked curiously.
"A little bit of them."
Oh ~
Wu Song Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at Han Lang.
He brought some mineral water and a tablet computer used to display all kinds of starships.
Wu Song Lin said, "Since Brother Wu Dao introduced you, you're one of us. You don't have to be so polite. What kind of warship do you want, Brother Han Lang?"
Han Lang said, "It's fine if it's a battleship that's too big. I'm only one person, so I prefer a small and refined ship. Wang Qin of the Thunder Wang family has a silver frigate, and its performance is quite impressive, but I didn't see a similar model outside just now."
Pfft ~
Wu Song Lin immediately scoffed at Han Lang's words. He said disapprovingly, "I know his ship. It's an Eagle-class frigate. Its performance is not bad. Wang Qin modified it himself, so it's just so-so."
"Just so-so?" Han Lang was puzzled. "I've fought a few rounds with that Eagle-class frigate. That ship is very powerful."
Wu Song Lin and Mo Xiao Bei laughed. Mo Xiao Bei said, "It depends on how powerful it is. Just from the appearance of the Eagle-class frigate, even those who don't understand would know that it's an elite frigate. Using an elite frigate to sink a normal frigate isn't considered a skill."
Han Lang was startled. "Then what is considered a skill?"
Mo Xiao Bei said, "Of course it's using an ordinary frigate to destroy an elite frigate! To tell you the truth, my master used to build pirate ships for the space pirates. "
"To put it bluntly, pirate ships are the kind that look weak, but can explode with power that surpasses ships of the same level. We don't put effort on the surface, but put more effort on the inside."
"Put effort on the inside?" Han Lang asked curiously. "For example, installing two warp disruptors, or double entanglement beams?"
Mo Xiao Bei and his master Wu Song Lin laughed. Mo Xiao Bei said, "We usually don't recommend installing Entanglement beams and warp disruptors because those things only serve to slow down the enemy's ship and prevent them from using warp to escape."
"Just install an Engine Destroyer and all the problems will be solved. The Engine Destroyer can fire a magnetic reversion beam that destroys the enemy's engine. The warp engine of the ship that is hit will immediately burn down, and they won't be able to move a single step in space."
"However, the Engine Destroyer will cause collateral damage to the people on the ship. In addition, if the enemy's engine is burned down, even if they don't kill the crew, they won't be able to move and will die on the ship. That's why this thing is illegal in the Alliance."
"All in all, we'll take an ordinary looking battleship and spend a lot of effort to change all the normal equipment inside to the most terrifying and lethal ones. This modified battleship will be called a raider. Aside from being powerful, it's also deceptive …"
Mo Xiao Bei and Wu Song Lin introduced the various characteristics of the pirate ship to Han Lang. The more he listened, the more shocked he became.
There really are no good people in the Forgotten Realm!
No wonder Zong Wu Dao said that Wu Song Lin specialized in building the worst warships. It turned out that he was full of evil tricks and specialized in tricking people!
