Thomas Mellon Rockefeller had prepared two ammunition production lines and an Ammunition Repackaging Production Line for the Huaxia Legion. As for the warheads, he arranged a small portable Melting Furnace, which could easily remelt and recast the warheads. Would this affect their power? He wasn't worried; as long as there was enough quantity, they could take down the Oni.
For the primers and firing powder needed for repackaging ammunition, Thomas had an Ocean Smuggling Plan that ensured a steady supply of ammunition for an entire regiment without interruption, even during Japan's Pacific War.
This Ocean Smuggling Plan stemmed from a peculiar memory from his past life: it involved Ocean Freight Submarines. Thomas Mellon Rockefeller instructed Xiao Rockefeller to acquire a group of ship designers from Newport News Shipbuilding to undertake what seemed an impossible task in the eyes of many. They were to design a super-large submarine capable of submerging, a teardrop-shaped submarine with an unarmed displacement of tons, utilizing Pump Propulsion technology.
After testing models and small-scale experimental vessels, all doubts vanished. The design boasted low resistance, minimal noise, high underwater stability, agility, and a more rational internal space with exceptional structural strength. Coupled with Thomas's proposal for a double-hulled structure, what initially seemed improbable gradually transformed into a feasible project.
Moreover, Thomas knew of a material that could expedite the emergence of this submarine: he had invested in the Carnegie Steel Company, which was developing Homogeneous Krupp-type Armor Steel. By adjusting the carbon and nickel content and adding elements like molybdenum, they created one of World War II's finest steels—a Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel. This steel exhibited high yield strength and excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, and weldability. Its yield strength could reach approximately [value], with tensile strength around [value], allowing it to withstand significant external forces without deforming or breaking. This enabled the submarine to transition from a riveted structure to a fully welded one, greatly enhancing its underwater strength beyond that of any existing submarine.
Once submerged at depths of [depth] meters, it would essentially enter the sonar detection blind spot of its era; anything below [depth] meters was practically considered sunken depth. Thus, this was why Thomas Mellon Rockefeller chose not to install weapons on this submarine—its depth would serve as its weapon. If detected and entering a combat zone, it could simply slip away underwater.
Additionally, Thomas introduced Pump Propulsion technology—an extraordinary advancement characterized by low noise levels and high propulsion efficiency while saving fuel. After presenting this design requirement and having engineers fabricate pump casings fitted onto a propeller, the propulsion efficiency astonished everyone present.
To maintain secrecy, Thomas notified his family that Newport News Shipbuilding would be under military control. In the coming months leading up to the war's onset, all workers and engineers involved in producing what was named the Abyss Super Submarine would undergo strict supervision and scrutiny.
Once this Abyss Submarine came into existence, it could exceed tons in carrying capacity for smuggling weapons and drugs, potentially bringing immense wealth to Thomas Mellon Rockefeller and his family behind him.
The Diesel-Electric Hybrid Power system was already quite mature; with its massive hull size, it could provide greater power and fuel capacity while ensuring safe long-distance navigation across the Pacific and Atlantic. However, Thomas also proposed incorporating Silver-Zinc Battery technology. Although he didn't fully understand it, he recognized its name from videos he had seen before; Silver-Zinc Batteries offered high energy density and discharge performance that could enable submarines to achieve higher speeds. Yet due to the high cost of silver, their widespread application on submarines was limited. However, since the Abyss Submarine wouldn't require mass production like combat submarines—following Thomas's Kyuutou Yuuma Zaku An no Tetsu Sankaku Keikaku—the fleet size would not exceed [number] vessels.
Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, smuggling operations above and below water could swiftly equip Wood Legion Commander with a well-armed force—one where weapons outnumbered personnel. After hostilities commenced, regular or irregular resupply would ensure this legion maintained optimal combat readiness.
The Huaxia Legion's configuration included three types of individual weapons: first was the Precision Rifle; second was the Garand Rifle; third was the Butter Gun. The so-called Precision Rifle was essentially a sniper variant produced by Springfield Armory based on the Garand Rifle design. The Garand Sniper Rifle Family consisted of three models that could all be fitted with silencers.
