After Beta rebirth

16 Temperory mooring

The people who work together are all very good people. Even if the nominal boss is absent from work for so many days, the tasks that should be carried out are not missed at all, just like when Yan Zhi'an was around. Some matters that could not be resolved due to disputes or other reasons were placed on his desk, waiting for him to come back and deal with them.

Of course, the more urgent ones have already been dealt with by others using other methods.

After signing his name on a document for applying for consumables, Yan Zhi'an let out a small breath, picked up the two design drawings put together, and leaned back slightly on the soft back of the chair.

These are two design drawings to adapt to the latest models of starship gun barrels - in this era where star thieves are scurrying around, and there are even bugs that come out of nowhere to block the road from time to time, even if they are simply used to Merchant ships carrying cargo will also be equipped with a few starship cannons. One main gun and two secondary guns are the most basic and standard configuration. It is precisely because of this that the arms dealers who once disappeared in the peaceful era will not be suppressed by the governments of various alliances and empires as soon as they appear. Instead, they can run around openly and even develop under this name. Comparable to the power of a country.

Of course, Yuxingxing Shipyard is not only responsible for the work on commercial ships, but the work related to the military is not within the scope of Yan Zhi'an's responsibility. However, if he wanted to apply a little higher, it shouldn't be difficult to change his position. In fact, due to their professional relationship, except for those who directly entered the military, his old acquaintances were basically responsible for the work in that area.

His thoughts were drifting away for some reason, and Yan Zhi'an shook his head helplessly, feeling more and more like an old man who liked to reminisce about the past. Obviously, based on the current average age of people in the empire, whether it was his previous life or this life, he has not yet passed half of his life.

After gathering his thoughts and returning his attention to the two drawings in his hand, Yan Zhi'an frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that the two designs in his hand can meet the requirements of the starship currently under development, but the former focuses more on the burst of firepower in a short period of time, while the latter focuses more on battery life and energy saving-- He has seen both in person, tried them out personally, and made suggestions for subsequent improvements. He is even sure of the purchasing audience they will face in the future. Yan Zhi'an knew very well that both of them were excellent designs.

Unfortunately, their current funds and energy are only enough to develop one of them. If they have to use both hands, they will lose both. Even if he has general control over the future direction and results, he can't change this. After all, this is not a task that he can complete alone.

...That's why it's so difficult to make a decision.

For some problems, knowing the answer in advance does not mean that you can solve it perfectly all at once.

Raising his hand to press his eyebrows, Yan Zhi'an put down the drawing in his hand, preparing to consider this troublesome issue later, but he didn't expect that just as he picked up another document, there was a knock on the office door.

"Team leader," Lao Sheng, who had just entered the dock early and was unable to hear the gossip with the others, received a response. He opened the door and walked in, "The merchant ship Dawn of the Yuhong Chamber of Commerce requested to be temporarily docked for maintenance."

This kind of thing is not uncommon. There are countless accidents in interstellar navigation. In addition to common situations such as star thieves, bugs, and damage to the starship itself, there are also accidents beyond people's imagination. Those who are lucky can encounter a few electromagnetic storms, and those who are not lucky can directly crash into a sudden wormhole and suddenly escape to a remote galaxy that is not even marked on the star map. Good thing.

Therefore, in order to prevent these situations from causing trouble and chaos to the city, slightly larger places will have ports for temporary parking of starships. At most, the difference between being abandoned and not abandoned is that there is definitely enough space.

Although Yincheng is not a star port city, it still has the largest starship production base in Dongyan Kingdom. This kind of thing happens not only several times a year, but also once every few years. It is still normal. .

However, after hearing Lao Sheng's words, Yan Zhi'an couldn't help but frowned: "Yuhong Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, they said they encountered star pirates and encountered an electromagnetic storm while escaping. The equipment on the ship was seriously damaged." Although he felt a little strange about Yan Zhi'an's reaction, Lao Sheng still explained the situation in detail, "Looking at the marks on the shell, it does match their description."

"Have they been allowed to enter the port?" Yan Zhi'an asked again.

"Not yet," Lao Sheng was stunned for a moment, "The three groups are scheduled to conduct a trial voyage of the Type XII today. The docks are all full at the moment, and they are coordinating which one will be empty."

"Then don't let them in yet." Yan Zhi put down the documents in his hands and stood up. He paused and continued, "The captain of the Dawn and I are old acquaintances. Wait for me to go over and have a few words with him."

"Ah, okay." Apparently he still hadn't reacted. After Lao Sheng responded, he froze for a while before he realized what he was doing and contacted the people at the port, then trotted to keep up with Yan Zhi'an.

Obviously, being able to explain the situation to people in the port, the communication equipment on the Dawn was not seriously damaged. Not long after, a face with a square face and straight eyebrows appeared on the light screen. I don't know if it was due to the previous accident, but his face looked a little pale, and even his expression was a little stiff.

-- exactly like the black-and-white photo that once made headlines.
