Chapter 453: Atlas does not raise idlers
There was no grand welcome ceremony, and there was no crowd of people watching to congratulate, celebrating the two former federal generals who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" to join the Atlas family.
When the meeting started, other participants, including Isabel, saw Guterres and Van Fleet sitting next to Amber and understood what was going on.
Meetings here at Atlas are generally non-verbal, because everyone has a lot of things to do at this stage. Although there is an 'Atlas Administrative Management Module' to arrange each meeting reasonably, Personal daily work progress, but recently the number of daily tasks has increased a lot compared to before.
The 'Atlas Administrative Management Module' has been calculated to the extreme, and can only barely guarantee that everyone's working hours should not exceed 8 hours a day, but the increase in work intensity during working hours cannot be adjusted. .
Therefore, some of the meetings that had to be held during this period even skipped the opening greetings and got down to the real topic - how to deal with a large number of prisoners and captured equipment.
As for the disposal of captured equipment, it basically does not require much discussion. Atlas has formed a complete set of procedures in this regard.
After the defense battle of the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress, Atlas captured a large number of ships from the joint fleet of the military-industrial complex, as well as various equipment carried on the ships.
Amber and the others never planned to return these things.
If there was a conflict with the federal government on Para 4 before, they would still make gestures to prevent both parties from completely falling out, but these companies in the military-industrial complex are not so particular. , the processing method is also very simple.
Intact, slightly damaged, and moderately damaged but repairable military-standard warships will be directly incorporated into the battle order of the Atlas fleet to expand the strength of the combat fleet.
However, the large number of additional warships at once also caused the problem of "too many ships but too few" on Atlas' side.
Although the 'manned battleships' in the Atlas fleet are now equipped with mass-produced 'ten-year veteran' class shipboard control personalities as standard, and after continuous automation transformation, the required The number of crew members has also been greatly reduced.
Currently, it is basically maintained at the level of 60-70 people on escorts and destroyers, 120-220 people on cruisers, and no more than 400 people on battleships.
Compared with the current number of crews required for ships of all levels in the Federation and Empire, to exaggerate, it can be regarded as a zero level, but this time there are more than 240 more ships that can be used directly. The special situation of the battleship still makes Atlas's reserve crew somewhat stretched.
As for the prisoners on the battleships, Amber really doesn't like their uneven training levels. There is so much time to retrain these people, it is better to use the crew trained by Atlas itself, and in terms of loyalty The aspect is even higher.
So Amber's current approach is a two-pronged approach, while continuing to train new crew members, while allowing Lilith to apply unmanned fleet technology to these captured warships.
Although she suffered from severe 'Omnic Crisis PTSD' before, after communicating openly with Lilith several times and meeting Baninger and others who were transformed into 'Immortals', Amber In the end, the plan to form an unmanned fleet and the Immortal Legion was agreed upon.
After all, although there are risks in this thing, the fragrance is really delicious
As for the remaining 'big broken' battleships that have no repair value, they are completely useless to Atlas. All armed merchant ships will be dismantled and scrapped.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to deal with this process. One is to pull it into a special dock, or directly find an uninhabited place in deep space to set up a temporary 'disassembly operation frame', and then proceed in the reverse order of construction. Dismantling works.
In this process, some key components and subsystems - such as battleship fusion furnaces, fire control units, main guns and other 'high-value components', if they are intact and not damaged, will be inspected and maintained after for secondary use.
As for the remaining main structure of the ship that has no secondary use value, we will continue to complete the dismantling according to the planning process, and then remelt it as needed.
Because the structure of military warships is quite complicated, the internal pipeline layout is extremely complex, and the strength of the hull materials is also high, so it is relatively difficult to dismantle them. Before this, Atlas sold these ships directly to professional ship dismantling companies, which was also a way to quickly realize cash.
But this time, because the number of ships that needed to be dismantled was too large and the potential recycling value was relatively high, Amber directly asked the Financial Business Center to fully acquire several ship dismantling companies specifically for Atlas. Providing ship dismantling services.
The disassembled ‘high-value parts’ can also be stored in the warehouse and used as spare parts.
Another treatment method is to target ships that have been severely damaged and have basically lost their recycling value. After completing the harmless treatment, the fleet can directly use them as target ships for artillery training.
In addition to the captured battleships, the HCP or other vehicles carried inside are also treated in the same way as the battleships.
The ones that can be used are used directly, the ones that are not usable are dismantled and made into spare parts, and the remaining ones that have no recycling value are used as targets.
All in all, it is necessary to completely squeeze out all the value of these 'trophies', not even a piece of hull armor plate can be wasted.
Compared with the standardized treatment methods of these ‘trophies’, the treatment of prisoners of war has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
According to the final statistics, Atlas directly captured more than 300,000 people in this battle, 99% of which were crew members from captured ships of the United Fleet.
Since the ships of the Combined Fleet do not have the same high level of automation as Atlas, the number of crew members in each of their battleships is still relatively large, especially those of battleships and heavy-duty ships. Patrolling, there are usually two to three thousand prisoners.
If it were not for the A. Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress, it was originally planned to be a large living area in the future, responsible for receiving a large number of 'immigrants' such as employees' families. Not long ago, the construction of several large-scale synthetic protein factories and hydroponic towers was completed. It is difficult to accommodate the sudden increase of more than 300,000 people.
But even so, Amber doesn't want to just support these more than 300,000 people. After all, they can't create any value now, and they consume a lot of supplies every day - in Amber's view, this is purely 'burning money' .
“We at Atlas do not raise idle people, and now is a special period. Every penny of the group must be used where it should be used, so we must solve the problem of these 300,000 prisoners as soon as possible. "
While looking at the composition of the prisoners, Amber said:
"The following is my personal suggestion. Prisoners who are willing to stay and pass the identity verification can try to be included. If you pass the six-month internship probation period and there are no abnormalities, you will be converted into a full-time employee of Atlas, and the benefits and benefits will not be discounted.
As for those who are unwilling to stay, we don’t have to treat them like others. Just like companies, sending them to the asteroid belt to mine is not a waste of people like them.
Moreover, the companies in the military-industrial complex will definitely not pay any ransom for these employees, so we will 'spend some blood' ourselves and find a third-party transportation company to repatriate them to the Federation after the head count is completed. "
After finishing his general thoughts in one breath, Amber looked at the other people participating in the meeting.
"Let's speak freely next. Do you have any suggestions or questions? Just take the time to talk~"
