After listening to Lin Beauty's explanation, Feng Jun still found it a little hard to believe his ears. "You don't want the battleship final assembly workshop?"
"Final assembly places the greatest demands on comprehensive management capabilities. If possible, of course everyone would want it," Lin Beauty said. She had a clear grasp of the situation, but reality still had to be faced. "However, everyone estimated that the factory's initial production capacity would most likely belong to the Federation..."
If the factory could be completed within fifteen years and begin producing finished products in twenty years, then by that time... barring any major surprises, the battleships Xia Nation currently possessed would basically be sufficient.
Moreover, everyone believed that battleship production required a period of adjustment. There was no need to hand over substandard components, but even if they were melted down and remanufactured, there was no need to rush to master final assembly technology.
Final assembly technology was truly difficult. What it tested was not one's assembly skills, but the ability to comprehensively manage and integrate the entire system.
System-wide integration and management engineering could not be built up merely by piling on hardware.
Xia Nation believed that, since the initial production capacity would all be provided to the Federation, there was no need to hastily master final assembly technology. They could first thoroughly understand the specifications and performance of every component through continuous production, then begin trying final assembly afterward. That would be much easier.
Of course, there would still be small-scale combination trials in many detailed areas. But generally speaking, this production model could use others' needs to hone their own technology. It was a case of sharpening the axe without delaying the chopping of wood.
Once their technology truly matured, perhaps they would not even need the Federation's
