MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 215 Skyfire light cruiser

  Chapter 215 Skyfire Light Cruiser

"Shipyard... Do you want me to help you build a battleship?" Tony Stark immediately guessed David's thoughts, thinking that the Winter River next to the town of Winter is extremely wide, and the water depth does not seem to be shallow. It seems that you can go directly to the Dark Elves' Eternal Night Empire along the river.

  In this case, it is not surprising that David wants to develop the navy.

   "Stark Industries didn't take over the work of warships. I may need some time to figure out what is needed for warship manufacturing."

  Because it was built in Cold Winter Town, it is impossible for him to directly introduce related technologies, purchase factories, and recruit corresponding personnel like in his own world.

  Tony Stark insisted on using an automated production line in Cold Winter Town, and relied on Jarvis, the artificial intelligence, to take charge of the management. The main reason was that he could take care of it alone.

   There is another important reason, that is, not long ago, Tony didn't think he would become the main arms supplier of Winter Town, helping David establish the Winter Kingdom, or even the Winter Empire, and then dominate the whole world.

Now his thoughts have changed a little bit, and he feels that helping David build a huge empire is not a bad thing for the world, and it seems that he can continue to show his own value in the process, which is also a good experience for him .

   "What kind of warship do you want to build? Battleship? Aircraft carrier? Missile destroyer?"

   "It doesn't need to be that exaggerated."

  Rindong River is very wide. Standing on this side of the Rindong River, the weather is slightly worse and you can’t see the other side. This kind of wideness will give people the illusion of being by the sea.

  David also explored a distance upstream. According to the area he explored, although the width of the Winter River is narrower than the corner next to the town of Winter, the width is still amazing.

   It can be said that the width of the Cold Winter River is enough to accommodate any surface ship on Earth. What really limits the appearance of these ships on the Cold Winter River should be the water depth.

  He needs to conduct additional investigations for this data, and it might be possible to ask Tony to get some detection equipment.

"Even if you build an aircraft carrier, Winter Town doesn't have enough sailors and naval aviation at the moment." David's idea is to use the warship transformed from Skyfire as the main combat force, supplemented by sailors trained by James Norrington Pilot small ships, and then train and train more sailors while building bigger and stronger warships.

   When the sailors are almost trained, the navy should have a prototype.

  He doesn't have to worry about the navy being trapped in a river. According to the description of the dark elf Cecil, David already knows that he can go to sea by sailing westward along the Winter River.

   That is to say, Rinwinter Town actually has an 'outlet', Rinwinter Navy is a veritable navy!

   "So, you just wanted me to build some boats?"

   "Large ships will also be built in the future." David felt that since Tony was not satisfied with only building some small ships, then he would make a big deal for him: "Even space battleships will be built in the future."

   "..." Tony looked like you were fooling me: "Space battleships and surface ships are not the same thing at all!"

   "They're both boats...no difference."

  David noticed that Tony had an expression of "I'm not an idiot, I believe you are to blame", but his eyeballs rolled around, obviously already moved.

  Scientists like Tony cannot resist the temptation of advanced technology and the use of various advanced technologies!

  Manufacturing space battleships is not easy for him in his own world, and he has to face all kinds of difficulties.

   But here in Cold Winter Town, not only can they get the full support of David, the lord, but they can even get in touch with advanced technologies from other worlds for the first time.

   Apart from other things, the Cybertron technology alone is enough for him to study for a while! And in Winter Town, he can even directly ask the Cybertronians for their technical knowledge.

  How can going back to your own world have these advantages?

   "A small ship, right? Leave it to me!"

   He doesn’t have to worry about the raw materials. The Cybertronians of the Digger can easily provide him with a large amount of raw materials. All Tony has to do is to design a reasonable automated shipyard!

   "But there is a problem."

"What?"

   "What are your ships going to be powered by?"

"this…"

  Large warships on the earth use heavy fuel oil; small boats use diesel oil, and a small part use gasoline.

  He didn't find this kind of thing in Cold Winter Town, and of course he didn't look for it on purpose.

   "Use crystal ore!"

  David felt that the crystal ore was the main resource that Goldfinger gave him, whether it was used as an energy source or as a strengthening material, the effect was very powerful.

  If it weren't for the fact that the current inventory is not enough, he doesn't need to ask Tony to help him build the Ark reactor at all.

  Of course, the completion of the Ark reactor not only ensures the basic power consumption of Cold Winter Town, but also allows David to use the crystal mine in several specific directions-weapons and energy.

   As for the use of crystal mines, the crystal mine engines made by Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard have been improving and upgrading, and a huge version upgrade has been carried out after Tony arrived.

  At present, the latest third-generation crystal mine engine can fully meet David's requirements. Tony has already begun to consider replacing the Harrier fighter in Cold Winter Town with a crystal mine engine and conducted various tests.

   After discussing the matter of the shipyard, David solved the problem of the Winter Navy.

  The next step is to wait for James Norrington's report, and then provide him with various support according to Norrington's request.

  To David's surprise, he just chatted with the Avengers for a while, and when he left Stark Manor, Skyfire had already returned.

   "You are a bit efficient!"

"It didn't take much time to just scan a few warships." More importantly, Tianhuo, who has returned to his peak state, can use the teleportation ability relatively freely, which allows him to reach the target location in a very short time: " I wanted to scan the battleship USS New Jersey, but that ship was a bit too big."

   "Can't change into a battleship?"

  David remembers that Cybertron's compression technology is very powerful in this aspect, and the usual size of the battery is not much larger than other Autobots, but after turning into an aircraft carrier, a large number of Autobots can be loaded on the ship.

   "It's not impossible to change, but excessive use of compression and amplification technology will have an impact on its own structural strength, and it will also waste fire energy." Tianhuo explained, saying that it is not impossible to change, but if it becomes too large, it will affect the combat effectiveness.

  If it is said that the platoon becomes an aircraft carrier and also serves as a transport officer, then it is really meaningless to force Skyfire to become a huge battleship.

   "So...which ship did you end up picking?"

   “I scanned a vintage battleship in a place called London, and it was a good size.”

  Skyfire and David came to the pier of Cold Winter Town, and then transformed into a light cruiser under David's gaze.

  David had already guessed which warship it was when he heard about the old-fashioned warship in London. Now, when he saw the warship transformed into Skyfire, it was indeed the one he thought of.

  HMS Belfast light cruiser!

   At this time, the light cruiser was parked on the river not far from the pier. Because of the draft, Tianhuo had no way to dock beside the pier.

  David saw this situation and realized that the pier had to be expanded and remodeled, and another military pier had to be built.

  There are a few more things to do, so keep them in mind, and write them down in the schedule when you get back, so as not to forget them when you get busy.

Asked about the state of Tianhuo, Tianhuo said that he is in a very good state now, with strong fire and abundant energy. At this time, he can fight hundreds of Decepticons alone. Attack on the Winter River and enter the town of Winter.

   "By the way, I will stay here from now on, it's pretty good here, and I can get more sunshine!"

  Tianhuo said that it would be good for David to go about his own affairs, and he would stop on the river in the future, and just come to the river to find him when he needed it.

  Although his temper is not very good and his body has recovered to its peak, he is a very old Transformer after all.

   When there is nothing to do, it is very pleasant for Tianhuo to stay there quietly and bask in the sun.

   Moreover, the calm and beautiful natural scenery of Lindong Town also greatly relieved his emotions. As long as no one comes to provoke him, he can also be 'calm'.

David stood on the shore and watched for a while that there was no sound on the water, and he didn't know if it was Tianhuo who was asleep, so he had to ask Elias to park the battleship transformed into Tianhuo on the river, and the town Say hello to someone.

   It’s best to put up an announcement or something, telling the residents in the town that the huge metal battleship on the river is their battleship in Winter Town, and there is no need to panic or worry about it.

   Originally, Eva would do the work of spreading the word everywhere, but today Eva is not here, so David handed it over to Elias.

  Of course, Mr. Etiquette Officer knew what was going on, and David said that he would go back to Glamorgan Castle to rest for a while, so Elias, the Etiquette Officer, could leave for a while.

  So, Elias went to find Wetherby, and David walked in the direction of Fort Glamorgan...

   Not long after Eva woke up, through the light coming in from the window, she knew that it was getting late.

  Based on Eva's physical fitness, she has almost recovered. Get up and get dressed directly, want to see if you missed any important work?

  Although she has taken a step closer to David, the lord of Cold Winter Town, she is not prepared to give up her original job.

  She hopes that she can always serve as David's clerk and help David step by step to a higher peak.

   At this moment, Eva felt that the holy light in her body seemed to have some changes, and then a ray of light descended from the void, and she felt that her body seemed to have some changes.

   "This is... the baptism of the Holy Light?"
