Franchise God Episode 1282

Chapter 293 I’ll upload it for you (1)

To the west of the Seogwipo naval base in Jeju Island, there is a huge shipyard.

To minimize damage to the environment, the shipyard was built over the sea using semi-hydrophobic metal structures and was anchored longways to the land.

Although it is called a shipyard, it has a structure that is no different from that of a small independent city.

In addition to the shipbuilding facilities, there are also residential areas for employees and commercial areas, so everything can be resolved within the shipyard without having to leave.

It even has schools, hospitals, and theaters.

In this huge shipyard, equally huge floating objects were being built.

This ship, 4km long and 2km wide, is shaped like a rugby ball with pointed ends, and is more like a moving island than a ship.

Considering that the Ford carrier is 333m long, you would have to line up 12 Ford carriers to get the same length.

Offshore farms have rendered the battle for the world’s largest ship meaningless.

As if to mock the little kids playing under 500m, calling it a tanker or a cargo ship, it jumped 4km in one go.

The representative of the manufacturer, ‘Suyeong Mobile’, expressed his confident feelings at a press conference ahead of the launching ceremony.

“We could have made the offshore farm bigger. We have the capacity to do so. But we didn’t have to, so we settled for this size.”

A single 4km long offshore farm, even if much smaller than the current one, could easily feed a continent.

If we gave up livestock farming and produced only grain and fish, we could feed the world.

Therefore, the offshore farm did not need to be any larger than this. It was already oversized enough.

However, the reason we insisted on a battlefield size of 4km is because we don’t know what will happen in human affairs.

“I think it’s still oversized enough. But isn’t there an advantage to a bigger ship? At least the advantage of being less shaken by waves.”

The ceremony of breaking the champagne for the players was conducted by Jang Hyo-joo.

It was a grand event attended by the Jeju Governor and Navy leaders. The number of Jeju residents and tourists who came to see the event was also enormous.

“How on earth does such a big ship move?”

“What I’m saying is, how many and how big of a screw propeller would it take to make it move?”

“What about the power source? It would take a huge amount of oil to run it.”

“I heard that they installed a nuclear fusion reactor inside the ship. They say it moves with that power… …

“Wow, the ship is the size of a small city, so it has its own nuclear fusion power plant.”

The offshore farm did have propellers for propulsion, but they were merely decorative.

Pure propulsion is achieved by the gravitational repulsion force generated by the anti-gravity motor. This is the swimming motor that is famous in the world as an electric car motor.

Marine engineers were thrilled that the offshore farms were actually working.

“Is it really moving?”

“I thought the screw propeller was so small that it would never move… …

“Is it because the entire hull is made of lightweight titanium alloy? No matter what, it doesn’t make sense.”

Anyway, the offshore farm moved leisurely, and while receiving cheers from numerous people, it left the shipyard and headed to England.

Naturally, because the Suez Canal could not be used, the route went around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

The sight of a massive 4km long offshore structure speeding at a speed of up to 100km per hour shocked shipping companies around the world.

“It’s so big and heavy, but it’s so fast? What kind of engine is it using?”

“What? You’re saying that you’ve installed a swimming motor made by Suyeong Motors? So that’s an electric propulsion vessel?”

When it became known that the ship was electric, shipowners around the world were shocked.

“How about efficiency? Is the efficiency okay?”

“If it had its own nuclear fusion reactor, efficiency might have been ignored.”

“Then, I guess it might not be applicable to general ships… …

If turning the generator and turning the motor results in lower energy efficiency than existing propulsion methods such as LNG, it is meaningless.

If it had a nuclear fusion reactor, it would have been highly likely that it would have pushed ahead with pure output power, completely ignoring the energy efficiency of the motor.

Because generator efficiency and motor efficiency are completely separate issues.

However, the swimming mobile did not provide a clear solution to such doubts.

“I will not answer any questions other than those regarding the productivity and safety of the farm and the convenience of staying there. In particular, the propulsion specifications of the ship are confidential.”

With this attitude being maintained, ship owners who were curious about the efficiency of electric motor propulsion were frustrated and felt like they were going to explode.

Even after the offshore farms were shipped to the UK, the CEO of Suyeong Mobile remained at the shipyard and faithfully answered questions from foreign reporters.

For reference, domestic reporters hardly showed up except for Ulleung County Citizens Daily.

“How many crew members does the offshore farm consist of? And how many can it accommodate?”

“If we only consider survivability, with little consideration for livability, we can accommodate more than 5 million people. If we consider appropriate livability, we can accommodate less than 500,000 people. But right now, not a single person is on board.”

“What? There’s not a single person on that huge ship?”

“Yes. The control of the sea farm is entirely taken care of by Android Freedom. Furthermore, the farm itself can be seen as another large Android Freedom entity.”

“The swimming farm terrarium has already achieved a 100% complete unmanned system. All operations of the farm, as well as maintenance, repairs, renovations, and demolition, are handled by robots. There is absolutely no need for manpower.”

The CEO of Suyeong Mobile confidently continued his explanation while looking around at foreign reporters.

“We have also applied this perfect automation to offshore farms. We guarantee that in the future, offshore farms will not need any human intervention until the ship is decommissioned.”

“What kind of ingredients and how much are currently on board the offshore farm?”

The offshore farm has just been launched.

Even if the agricultural system is up and running, it will take several months to harvest the first crop.

So, it was a very general judgment that the only things currently on board were food supplies for immediate supply to England.

“Right now, the offshore farms are carrying wheat, more than 50 kinds of vegetables, beef, pork, chicken, duck, more than 30 kinds of fish, and more than 50 kinds of sauces including various spices. This is enough to feed 72 million people, including the UK and Ireland, for more than three months.”

“72 million people can eat for three months? Can all that food really fit in there?”

A murmur spread among the foreign correspondents.

When they say that it is three months’ worth of food for 72 million people, the 4km length of the battlefield suddenly feels too small.

“Also, the cultivation system is already in operation, the seeds have sprouted and sprouted. New crops will be produced before the food on board the ship runs out. And… …

There was a major lie in the CEO’s explanation.

I don’t even know that because I read the speech as Freedom told me to.

It is true that the refrigerated containers of sauce and meat were loaded.

But it wasn’t carrying flour or fish.

Additionally, the offshore farms had tanks for grain storage that were far smaller than previously thought.

This is because the purpose of the farm is geared towards production rather than ‘storage and transportation’.

It is possible to grow multiple crops of annual plants such as rice and wheat in one day, and there was no need to install a huge storage tank inside.

All you have to do is sow the seeds, harvest them, and then release them right away. You can also include a grinding process in between.

Fish can also be caught at high speeds by farming them in nets.

That’s why the offshore farm’s refrigerated containers are now filled with only meat.

Ha Su-yeong was flying slowly and low over the sea surface in an F-35B vertical takeoff and landing model.

The offshore farm rounded the Cape of Good Hope and approached Irish waters in just under two weeks.

Ha Su-yeong departed from Korea on an F35B and flew nonstop to the British coast, receiving aerial refueling services from the US military.

On the communication frequency, there was a constant stream of flattery and boasting about how skilled the pilots were.

“Master, we will soon pass through the tidal wave.”

“What about public opinion?”

“There are many voices of concern about whether the offshore farm can really overcome the tsunami. However, the general opinion is that the master must have the confidence to do so and is therefore taking action.”

“In this age of information overload, it’s not just fools who make mistakes.”

Even though the tsunami was over 10 meters high, it looked infinitely small and shabby compared to the massive size of the 4 km long offshore farm.

Even the offshore farms were over 150 meters above the water level.

This refers to the average hull height, excluding specific parts that protrude significantly from the hull, such as antennas or bridges.

The anchor’s boisterous voice rings out from the public frequency.

“Viewers, look! The offshore farm is passing through the tsunami belt with great pride! No matter how strong the tsunami is, it cannot capsize that huge floating object!”

The height of the tsunami belt is about io meters, and the longest width is 2 km. In comparison, the offshore farm is a huge ship that is over 150 meters high and a whopping 4 km long, so it can easily withstand a tsunami of that size…

“Now Britain is alive! Britain is alive!”

The offshore farm approached Dublin Bay, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, and stopped at the designated sea point, immediately sending out the official.

“We have a problem with the engine power unit, so we will have to stop the ship and do some maintenance. Fortunately, only the ship’s operation is affected, and the rest of the farm system is intact. For now, we will first unload food at Dublin Port.”

The original plan was to first supply food to Liverpool, and then visit Dublin, the capital of the Irish Republic.

But that was an external schedule, and the internal schedule was different.

“There are no critical issues with the power unit, but some maintenance is necessary due to the rushed start of operation. Please rest assured that there are no major issues with the offshore farm, so please wait patiently.”

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll send a ship.”

Once inside the tidal flat, Britain could now operate cargo ships to receive food directly from offshore farms.

Soon the British government was raking up every available cargo ship and concentrating it in Dublin Bay, using up the oil it had been saving for shipping.

After landing the F35B in Dublin, Ha Su-yeong took a helicopter to the offshore farm.

The British food convoy arrived before the Irish one.

“How much did you bring?”

“yes?”

“How much money did you bring?”

“Well, 400 million pounds has been initially set aside.”

A huge sum of money, equivalent to approximately 600 billion won.

But this is an absurdly small amount compared to the total amount of food that is known to have been loaded onto the offshore farms.

Add to this the recent spike in food prices in the UK… … .

“You know you can’t take it out all at once and have to do it every day, right?”

“I know.”

“Oh, just put all the money into this account. I’ll take care of shipping the items.”

“Yes? Oh, yes. Okay.”

At midnight, Ha Su-yeong finished spurting out sharply and issued a receipt to the person in charge.

“I deducted the amount from the deposit received today at the local market price. Please check the list and quantity.”

“thank you.”

The asking price was eye-poppingly high.

But the person in charge could not raise any objection.

Because it was set exactly in line with today’s, no, yesterday’s, British average price.

And the next day… … .

“No, why are you deducting more today than yesterday?”

“The prices have gone up. Don’t you know that the demand has increased because citizens who are tired of cheap food are looking for only high-quality ingredients?”

The person in charge immediately backed down and started to fight.
