119.Revenge-class destroyer

In three months, the size of Dawn City has more than doubled, and buildings with more than 10 floors have begun to appear. With continued awakening, the city's population has increased to 40,000 people.

The reason why Dawn City is developing so fast is that a large number of robots were introduced from Damask Holdings Group.

According to the agreement reached between Glosse-Shelbia, Fourth Group will use its own resource output and industrial production as guarantee to introduce 10 million robots. Most of them are B-1 combat robots, and only 1,000 are B-2 super combat robots.

The first batch of 10,000 B-1 combat robots and 100 B-2 super combat robots have arrived. Among them, the B-2 robots all serve as Fourth Civilization's ground troops, and the B-1 combat robots are programmed to be competent in many aspects of work.

These include fire brigade, security brigade, construction workers, porters, miners and truck drivers. These low-tech jobs can be left to the B-1 combat robot.

Now a large number of B-1 robots have begun to appear on the streets of Dawn City, busy everywhere, thus saving a lot of manpower, so Dawn City began to expand crazily outwards.

All temporarily unemployed construction workers took part in SCV driving training to prepare for driving SCVs in the future. Those who are interested in going further will also participate in training as architects, structural engineers, etc. to upgrade from construction positions to management positions.

And because of the development of cities and the gradual increase in population, there has also begun to be a large demand for education and entertainment.

After having enough robot labor force, Tang Xiao began to order a large number of additional schools, which will make talents more flexible and can improve their abilities at any time.

Including language schools, various professional schools, and even a higher education institution to cultivate advanced intellectuals.

In terms of entertainment, following the establishment of the film company, Dawn City also established its first media company-Dawn Media. This can be said to be the official mouthpiece of Fourth Civilization. There are two main programs: Voice of the Galaxy and Dawn Channel.

The Voice of the Galaxy program extracts appropriate information from Galactic Republic and HoloNet, edits it and then broadcasts it, allowing everyone to understand the news happening in the galaxy at any time.

Dawn Channel is the main theme program, mainly targeting the development of Tang Xiao and Fourth Civilization.

The emergence of entertainment media has also derived a series of manufacturing needs, mainly to popularize television, computers and the Internet for residents. This is another connected industrial chain.

With the development of cities and the increase in demand from all aspects, the requirements for infrastructure are also growing exponentially. There will never be enough factories and labor.

At this time, several reporters came over with long guns and short cannons, saluted Tang Xiao respectfully, and then said, "Mr. Manager, the mothership is ready. The maiden voyage ceremony of Revenge-class light destroyer will be held in the afternoon, and we will broadcast the entire process live."

"No problem, let's go, we'll go back to the mothership." Tang Xiao nodded.

After a burst of familiar music sounded, the beautiful reporter lady appeared in front of the camera, "Friends from the audience, this is Fourth Civilization Dawn Channel. Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. Because after three months of overtime construction work, our Fourth Civilization's first 100-meter-class warship finally made its maiden voyage!"

The camera zoomed out, and they could be seen in the huge Glory mothership Hangar Platform. However, under the intentional control of the director, the audience could only see a corner of a spaceship through the camera, and could not see the whole picture at all, which aroused interest.

The reporter continued, "Under the leadership of our wise manager - Tang Xiao, Fourth Civilization is developing rapidly every day. The maiden voyage of Revenge-class light destroyer means that our Fourth Civilization Navy force has taken the first step out of the star system and towards the galaxy!"

Then the camera focused on Tang Xiao, who was wearing a military uniform and holding a sword in his hand. The reporter said, "Now we invite our manager Tang Xiao to give an important speech."

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, stepped forward to stand in front of the high platform, and said loudly, "The first minute after I woke up, I made up my mind - our journey is the sea of stars!!..."

After an impassioned speech, Tang Xiao waved his hand violently. Following his movement, the live broadcast camera turned and two large battleships appeared in front of all the audience.

Revenge-class light destroyer, and there are two ships! This is because before the research and development of this destroyer was completed, Tang Xiao had already started the construction of the destroyer dock. Therefore, after the team of Feng Yongwang completed the research and development of the destroyer, there were already two destroyer docks, so the construction of two destroyers was started at the same time.

This light destroyer has a short and stubby shape. The bridge is located behind the hull, and a long pole more than ten meters long extends from the front end. This is the electromagnetic interference device of the warship, which can emit a powerful electromagnetic field to affect the operation of the electronic system of targets within a certain range.

The total length of the destroyer is 108.7 meters. After removing the electromagnetic interference device, the length of the hull is 95.9 meters, the widest part is 34.4 meters, and the total height of the bridge is 41.6 meters. Equipped with two plasma bomb launchers, two large electromagnetic cannons, and two large blue laser cannons.

The warship is not equipped with close-in defense firepower, but the two blue laser cannons can undertake certain interception tasks. The main air defense force is completed by four Wraith fighter carried externally.

The destroyer has a full crew of 74 people, of which 40 B-1 combat robots are mainly used for chores. The warship has a total weight of 15,000 tons and a full load weight of 17,065 tons.

At this moment, the two Revenge-class light destroyers were hung with red flowers made of red silk. All members of the warships lined up outside the hatch, looking solemnly in the direction of Tang Xiao.

"Now I announce! Revenge-class light destroyer, maiden voyage!" Tang Xiao said loudly.

On Dawn Star Planet, the residents of Fourth Civilization watching the live broadcast burst into cheers. At the same time, in the hangar, the two captains said loudly, "Stand at attention! Salute to the manager!!"

All the crew members saluted Tang Xiao in unison, even the B-1 combat robots were no exception.

"Turn backwards! Board the ship!!" The captain ordered again, and all the crew members turned around and entered the battleship in formation.

Only 5 minutes later, the two Revenge-class light destroyer started to launch at the same time. Under the action of the anti-gravity device, they rose to a position of 5 meters above the ground.

Tang Xiao drew out his sword and waved it forward. Two hundred-meter-long warships advanced at the same time. The red flowers wrapped in front of the warships were pulled away, forming four long red silks that gently brushed over the warships.

Just like two fully armed warriors, embarking on the endless battlefield.
