Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 78 Preparing for Gun Inspection

Guo Zhiwei appeared somewhat lacking in confidence when talking about veteran employees.

Lorraine waved her hand and said:

"It's already a great achievement that these veteran employees have survived. Now let them rest and recuperate. I can afford to support these 100-plus veteran employees."

Lorraine looked at the distant dock and asked.

Do you have steel cables in your warehouse?

Guo Zhiwei was visibly taken aback when he heard Luo Lin's question.

"I really don't know about that. I suggest you ask Ms. Han Xiao."

"Okay, go back and ask if you can use steel cables to make a large net."

Guo Zhiwei thought for a moment, then answered.

"That shouldn't be a big problem; it just depends on how big you want it."

Lorraine suddenly changed the subject, inquiring about the zombie situation in the area.

"You've been here for so many years, have you seen any other types of zombies besides humanoid ones, such as animal-type ones?"

Guo Zhiwei frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"I suggest you ask Liu Haiyang about this. Apart from assisting the security department in clearing out zombies a few times in the early stages of the apocalypse, we haven't seen any zombies since."

Lorraine nodded. There was no rush. He would definitely discuss some things with Liu Haiyang in the next couple of days anyway.

"You have several unfinished ships here."

Lorraine had just seen two ship hulls covered with red, white and blue plastic sheeting in the dry dock.

"In the dry dock nearby is a littoral combat ship with a trimaran structure, and in the dry dock further away is an experimental catamaran, but you will need to consult Chief Engineer Huang for its specific model and function."

Guo Zhiwei then pointed to two large factory buildings behind the two dry docks.

"These two workshops are responsible for assembling the modular structure of another littoral combat ship. With all staff working, the remaining 40% of the work on this littoral combat ship in the dry dock will be completed within three months."

Lorraine became interested upon hearing this.

"Your equipment here is quite advanced."

When the topic came up, Guo Zhiwei proudly introduced it to Luo Lin.

"We have introduced the latest industrial artificial intelligence, which has reduced the current shipbuilding cycle by 25% compared to before."

"So your servers are always under maintenance?"

"Our technicians have been maintaining it regularly, and it still maintains its operational efficiency. But this is also a factor that has caused the conflict."

Lorraine narrowed her eyes, quickly calculating in her mind.

"This way we don't need to move the servers from the customs building, but the security for these servers will need to be increased."

"Okay, have Liu Haiyang and Liu Yufeng come over this afternoon, and then all of you managers come over tomorrow morning for a short meeting."

"clear."

"Alright, take these people back first."

By this time, the canned goods in the two containers had already been moved back to the warehouse by the workers. After the crowd left, Lorraine returned to the flagship.

Afterwards, Lorraine and her group met in the cockpit to hold a short meeting and discuss their next steps.

"Cleveland, organize the previous plans for the follow-up of the Patrol Type 1 mechanical dog and send them to Platinum and Ouyang Nian."

In his plan, these fifty robotic dogs will initially be used as the main defensive force; in the later stages, they will serve as mobile cameras, responsible for patrolling the defense line and checking for loopholes. With slight modifications, they can even serve as robotic police officers responsible for maintaining public order.

Ouyang Nian was the first to express his opinion.

"As long as these modified mechanical dogs are used to their fullest potential, I won't comment on anything else."

She then turned to look at Platinum.

"I don't have many problems, but later on, as a robotic police officer, I may need to use special ammunition for law enforcement."

"That's clear. We can replace them with plastic or rubber bullets to reduce the output per shot and increase firepower endurance, ensuring that people will run around screaming in pain."

Platinum and the others shuddered at Lorraine's wicked chuckle, and an idea popped into their heads.

Those who cause trouble will be in for a world of hurt!

"Ahem, next topic, next topic."

Lorraine stopped chuckling and turned her attention back to the next issue to be discussed.

"The task of improving the air pistol is entrusted to you. Prioritize portability and lethality."

"No problem, leave it to me."

After receiving Ouyang Nian's assurance, Lorraine turned her attention to Platinum.

"I plan to have Liu Yufeng and Liu Haiyang select a few retired personnel with firm will and noble ideals, and have you lead these people to practice archery. The compound bows and arrows will be kept in our custody."

Upon hearing Lorraine's specific plan, Platinum breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still didn't understand Lorraine's actions.

"Training these people shouldn't be a problem; these compound bows have all the necessary parts, and we can quickly train a group of excellent archers. But what's the point of doing it?"

"Quickly eliminate all unstable factors, restore normal production here as soon as possible, and ensure that this place remains pure even after we leave."

Lorraine stated unequivocally that this place must be developed into their base.

"Then I have no problem."

Although Platinum didn't know what event Lorraine used to trigger these destabilizing factors, she vaguely sensed that it was related to the ominous premonition Lorraine had mentioned earlier.

"Cleveland, allocate resources and begin production of the Patrol Type 1 mechanical dog."

【Received. The cargo ship is approaching. Prepare to collect the supplies.】

"Cleveland, remember to take those two green wooden boxes out first."

【receive. 】

"What have you found this time?"

When it comes to green wooden crates, Platinum's first thought is weapons. He can't let them run into smuggled weapons, can he?

"You take Platinum with you and go take a look. I'll stay here and work on the modification plan."

"come on."

Lorraine and Platinum walked side by side toward the aft deck.

Along the way, Lorraine told Platinum in great detail how they discovered the green wooden boxes.

"According to your description, these guns, which are not real guns, were placed in VCI rustproof bags, and then the guns were wrapped in tarpaulin, and the boxes were sealed with nails."

"Yes."

Lorraine nodded, indicating that Platinum was right.

I will not comment until I see the actual product.

Platinum couldn't understand why they would go to such great lengths to seal and preserve these guns that weren't real.

The two stood on the aft deck of the flagship, watching the cargo ship slowly approach. The flagship extended its mechanical arm and placed two wooden crates on the deck.

To avoid affecting the subsequent handling of goods, Lorraine and Platinum dragged the two wooden crates back to the preparation room.

Lorraine opened the box she had opened earlier and handed the gun, which resembled an AK, to Platinum.

As soon as Bai Jingang took the weapon, he felt that the weight of the gun was wrong.
