Two Blueprint Types, Radar Concepts!

"Just one thousand points short of bringing my Survival Points back to the 20,000 mark!"

"Sure enough, only by causing more trouble and uncovering more secrets can we have more Survival Points!"

The dried-up pond of Survival Points seemed to have been filled with a spring of life. Seeing the number return to five digits, Su Mo couldn't help but clench his fist in excitement.

Although the daily environmental assessment Survival Points have increased significantly, if you just lie low every day, you can only get 600 points.

On the contrary, every time he caused trouble, he was able to reap the rewards of a whole month of hiding, which is simply outrageous.

Despite his sudden windfall, Su Mo remained remarkably clear-headed.

Before the ocean arrives, this great harvest may be the last.

In the next ten days or so, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the maximum I can accumulate is around 10,000 points. It's unlikely I'll be able to maintain my current level.

Therefore, all Survival Points must be spent in the right places to ensure that there is no waste.

After some deliberation, without rushing to upgrade the remaining robots, Su Mo recharged the four mechanics whose batteries were almost depleted before slowly making his way to the storage room on the third floor.

The manufacturing of the destroyer has now officially entered the normal track. All that is needed is to transport the materials there every day, and the Bionic Mechanoids will be able to assemble them.

What Su Mo needs to complete is the entire destroyer's operating system and Automatic Driving System.

Beyond this, given the conditions and time, even more sub-branches similar to detailed manipulation can be developed.

Only with more comprehensive considerations and a more complete Assisted Driving system can the performance of this 80-meter-long destroyer be brought to its fullest potential! After sitting on the stool next to the storage room and checking the attributes of the other small items brought out from the Liangfang Town ruins one by one, Su Mo returned to the first floor and focused his attention on the cube that occupied most of the garage space.

Most of the other items brought out of the ruins were of excellent quality, and a few were even of superb quality, with some magical little functions.

But for Su Mo, who was about to set sail to participate in a war involving billions of creatures, there was no "game-changing" help.

To survive and return victorious with enough spoils, the only thing that could give Su Mo the confidence to set sail and participate in this three-race struggle was the vertical missile launch module in his garage!

Su Mo had seen this item several times in his dreams and had handled it at least five times.

Su Mo was extremely clear about just how buggy this thing was, during his teaching in his sleep.

Once the massive box in front of us can be fully integrated, the firepower of the destroyers will directly surpass the average level of World War I and II, entering the modern era and achieving a leapfrog and explosive increase.

With a sacred feeling, after figuring out the structure of the outer package, Su Mo went to the toolbox, took out scissors, and gently cut the several ropes fixed to the missile launch module.

As the rope broke, the moisture-proof cloth covering it also lost its restraint and began to loosen.

With his hand resting on the corner of the moisture-proof cloth, Su Mo gently swished it! For the first time, the true form of the Vertical Launch Module appeared in the real world! The silver-white shell, without any gaps, was just like a large cube, and with the R33 paint scheme, it looked exceptionally domineering! Without rushing to get excited, based on his familiarity with this device in the dream, Su Mo went around clockwise to the back, placed his hand on the small corner below the third number 3 in the R33 paint scheme, and gently tapped it.

The next second, a small shell popped out.

Below the shell, there is a red button, and next to the button are the complete unfolding instructions.

The vertical missile launch module, when unfolded, measures 12 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 7.5 meters high.

"It really is this thing, exactly the same as the one I saw in my dream!"

"If this also matches, it means that Ma Fei didn't create it himself, but obtained it from somewhere else!"

"He didn't open it, so all the accessories should still be there!"

The garage was too small, with no room to unfold anything. After looking down and seeing a small square to the right of the button, Su Mo could no longer contain his excitement and carefully closed the lid.

"For games, I choose appraisal!"

After so much preparation, with a thought from Su Mo and the deduction of a point, the module's attributes began to slowly emerge.

[R33 Vertical Launching Missile Module (Rare)]

[Description]: Developed by [Company Name] and manufactured by [Company Name], this is a classic example of a vertical cold-launched missile with external power. It abandons the bulky size of the original launch system and instead adopts Module Technology with a folded structure. High-strength materials are used in the entire module framework, and it has been tested in millions of launches without failure.

[Includes blueprints]: R-1 Rocket Launcher blueprints, R-3 Short-Range Ballistic Missile blueprints. [Launch principle]: External propulsion.

[Compatible Missiles]: Compatible with all missiles with their own engines and all types of Rocket Launcher.

[Special Ability]: Brick Flying with Great Strength (All shells entering the firing system will have their power increased by 5%-35% by default, depending on the shell's attributes)

Artillery barrage (The firing system will enter a hot state within 60 seconds, with the default firing rate increased by 500%. After 60 seconds, it will be disabled for 1 hour).

Precision (the accuracy of the projectile will be improved by 100% when calculated by the guidance or fire control program).

[Restriction ①]: Missile launch requires corresponding radar guidance; otherwise, it will be impossible to launch.

[Restriction ②]: Rocket Propelled Grenades launch requires calculations in conjunction with the corresponding fire control program; otherwise, launch will fail. [Restriction ③]: Module loading must match the corresponding ship or shelter (ship: level 5 or above, shelter: level 10 or above).

[Recycling Price]: Main unit (5000 Disaster Points) + R-1 Rocket Launcher Blueprint (1000 Points) + R-3 Short-Range Ballistic Missile Blueprint (3000 Points)

"Good heavens, they're asking for a whopping 9000 points for this!"

"If it were anyone else, they might have impulsively sold themselves out, but Ma Fei is the right person to give himself to!"

After confirming several times that the two blueprints on the attribute panel were indeed mixed in with the device, Su Mo finally felt relieved.

After using the destroyer's blueprints, the game had already given Su Mo a complete tutorial on how to use it in a dream, and had Su Mo experience it firsthand.

Among all the weapons and equipment on a first-class destroyer, this Vertical Launch System, while not the best, is definitely in the top three, making it a veritable "bomber" on wheels! Normally, when paired with a suitable phased-array radar, it can launch short-range ballistic missiles in quick succession to accurately strike targets locked on by the radar.

However, when the enemy approaches, the device can be raised and its angle changed, transforming it into a strafing weapon capable of firing 12 Rocket Launcher simultaneously, achieving super-strong firepower coverage in an instant.

It is precisely because of this bug-like attribute that Su Mo was willing to abandon his safety and rush in to investigate after seeing it in Ma Fei's refuge.

"Having the modules is just the beginning. I need to completely manufacture the matching radar and fire control system within the next ten days or so."

"At the same time, as soon as the next disaster strikes, we can go out to sea and kill 500 alien races to upgrade our Tier 5 Shelter and create an advanced version of the machine tool."

"With small and medium-sized machine tools, although missiles cannot be manufactured yet, Rocket Launcher can be produced."

"At that time, I will use RPGs for pinpoint strikes at close range, and activate the launch module directly at medium and long ranges to bombard the ground with Rocket Launcher!"

"With this kind of firepower, I'd like to see who can outmaneuver me!"

Letting out a long, relieved breath from the excitement, Su Mo covered the launch module with the moisture-proof cloth again and returned to the third floor. His mind was now fully engaged.

Previously, I was worried about how to find a reason to sell weapons to the Tundra Shelter, so as to ensure the absolute safety of the Tundra Shelter before its relocation.

But now it seems there's absolutely no need to worry.

There are still many technological links required for refuge, and upgrading any of them through system upgrades would be too wasteful in the fields that humans have researched.

It's actually more cost-effective to trade with official organizations like the Tundra Shelter.

After pondering for a while, Su Mo took out a notebook and began to plan all the items to be traded this time.

First and foremost is the most important thing: radar technology! Radar is a transliteration of the English word "radar," which means radio detection and ranging, and is therefore also known as radio positioning.

In use, radar illuminates a target by emitting Electromagnetic Wave and receives its echo, thereby obtaining information such as the distance from the target to the Electromagnetic Wave emission point, the rate of change of distance, azimuth, and altitude.

Radar first appeared during World War I, which is considered an ancient product for modern people who have experienced the knowledge explosion and rapid technological development.

Therefore, in terms of principle and manufacturing difficulty, it is not a problem for ordinary people to make a simple radar, as long as they have blueprints and instructions.

For the radars mounted on the destroyer, Su Mo didn't have many options.

Modern warships typically carry six types of radar: early Surveillance Radar, Guidance Radar, Phased Array Radar, Over-the-Horizon Radar, Fire Control Radar, and Navigation Anti-Collision Radar.

Of these six types of radar, for an 80-meter-long third-class destroyer, apart from the Navigation Anti-Collision Radar which must be equipped with 3-5 units to ensure navigation safety, the other five types can be equipped as needed.

"The Surveillance Radar used to distinguish friend from foe is unnecessary. Once at sea, even fellow humans could be enemies. I won't let any strangers on board, so this item can be eliminated directly to save on the budget."

"The guidance Guidance Radar used to guide the start and stop of carrier-based aircraft, as well as the Over-the-Horizon Radar, are even less needed. Even if there were aircraft now, I wouldn't know how to fly them!"

"Therefore, among the remaining options, we must choose between fire control and phased array radar!"

Focusing on circling the names of the two radars in his notebook, Su Mo began to slowly recall the information he had heard on a program hosted by a certain Strategic Deception Bureau.

Shipborne Phased Array Radar requires computer control of the feed phase of each radiating element on the array antenna.

Scanning is achieved by changing the shape and direction of the radar antenna beam.

This type of radar is currently the mainstream shipborne radar, but its origins are relatively recent.

It was only after the economic recovery began in the 1990s that they gradually increased in number.

Of course, as the mainstream technology, its technical and manufacturing standards are much higher than those of other radars.

In comparison, the Fire Control Radar that has been installed on ships since the 1950s certainly has lower requirements.

"Phase array technology has many requirements. Even if I got the blueprints, I'd probably have to spend an astronomical amount of Survival Points to manufacture it."

"If we're really going to do this, we might as well just use Fire Control Radar and long-range positioning radar for a rough implementation. Even if the accuracy is a bit lacking, I'll accept it!"

With a slam of his hand on the table, Su Mo scribbled a few lines on the Phased Array Radar with a pen, choosing to give up.

When the enemy is poor, strike with precision; when the enemy is rich, unleash overwhelming firepower.

For accuracy within one meter and accuracy within one hundred meters, Su Mo made the decision on the spot without hesitation.

"As long as I can manufacture short-range ballistic missiles, there is absolutely no difference between the enemy being at the center and within 100 meters."

"It would be better to use all the materials and Survival Points we save to manufacture ammunition. If one shot misses, I'll just fire a hundred rounds to cover the entire area!"
