Volume 20 Chapter 7 Simple Super Weapon

"Boss, shall I show you around our new ship?" King Chuang, who had just climbed onto the ship, said to me while wiping the water off his body.

"That's fine." I said while looking at the naval gun on the bow of the ship: "You don't need to read anything else. Just introduce the characteristics of this ship...

Wang said and began to take us to visit. Of course, there were too many cannibals and it was impossible to bring them all together, so in the end only their leader and a few young cannibals followed us to start the tour.

Chuang Wang first took us all to the bow, and then let us visit the three turrets located on the bow. If you want to say what is the most conspicuous thing on a battleship, it is naturally the naval gun.

Moreover, the ship in front of me is also a multi-functional battleship, so its naval guns are particularly prominent.

Looking at the cannon barrel above their heads, which was as thick as a city sewer, even the cannibals were surprised. "How big is this cannon?" I asked, patting the turret base.

Chuang Wang excitedly explained to me: "This ship uses the same five-gun turret as the Biling-class super battleship, but the Biling-class uses a three-in-front and two-in-the-back layout, that is, there are three in front of the island. There are two turrets in the front, and two turrets in the back. Since this ship needs to leave space to load the mobile Angel, it uses a two-in-one-in-the-front layout, that is, two turrets in the front deck and one in the back.

These three turrets all use a five-unit structure and are equipped with the Tianwei II artillery newly developed by the guild. The caliber is still 1mm less. It can share the same shell with the Shenwei cannon on the Biling-class super battleship. "

"The universal artillery shells save money, but without two turrets, doesn't the bombardment power of this new ship drop a lot?"

Upon hearing this, King Chuang quickly explained: "No, no, no, the Tianwei II artillery uses a special gas guide structure and barrel reinforcement technology. Therefore, although the shells are the same, the propellant can be loaded with 100% more 20, so the range will be much greater. Also, the biggest difference between the Tianwei II and the Shenwei cannon is that the Shenwei cannon is semi-mechanically loaded manually, but the Tianwei II uses a magazine-type ammunition supply. structure, so the firing speed is six or seven times faster than the Shenwei cannon. Don't look at the five main gun turrets of the Biling class with a total of twenty-five main guns. In real terms, these twenty-five guns may not be as good as one main gun on this ship. The firing speed of the turret is fast. Therefore, although the number of the ship's cannons seems to have been reduced and the diameter has not been increased, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Biling class.

This ship's artillery combat capabilities are enough to be able to compete with three Biling-class super battleships without falling behind. "

"Can the barrel of such a large-caliber rapid-fire gun withstand the impact?" I asked worriedly, looking at the thick barrel above my head.

King Chuang said with a smile: "So this cannon is a new technology? If it is a Shenwei cannon fired at this rate of fire, it will probably explode in a few minutes, but you don't have to worry about the Tianwei Type 2. Forget it. If it keeps firing shells at the ultimate speed, its actual service life will be more than three times that of the Shenwei Cannon. And when the service life is up, you only need to replace the barrel and rotating bomb chamber, and it can continue to be used like new."

I nodded and said, "Didn't we originally plan to have other weapons on this ship? Take me to see them."

Chuang Wang quickly took us to a position in the middle of the hull, where the island was recessed inward to leave a semicircular area. There is an obvious rotating chassis in the middle of this area, and a very strange device stands on the chassis. The structure of this thing is very simple. It is two long triangular brackets standing on the ground. A steel beam is horizontally placed at the top of the two triangles. The middle of the steel beam is connected to the steel beam at an angle of 90 degrees and is connected to a steel beam about one meter long. It looks like a long object like the bottom of a boat turned upside down.

"Why does this thing look so like...?,.

Before I finished speaking, I saw someone beckoning from the Chuang Dynasty ship island, and then I saw a round hole less than half a meter in diameter suddenly opened in the center of the rotating disk, and then I heard a chirping sound. There was an exhaust sound, and a long white arrow-shaped object was thrown up vertically from the round hole. Although I have never seen this thing in the game, this does not hinder my understanding of it.

This thing is clearly a missile. Of course, it may just be a direct-fire rocket without tracking capabilities, but since our guild can already use the guidance arrow magic array to make missiles, I am more willing to believe that this is a missile, and it is not a mobile angel. It's a small pocket-sized missile the size of a pen that you carry with you, but it's a real big guy.

When the missile was ejected, the steel beam on the top also rotated, causing the object fixed on the steel beam to become parallel to the missile. When the missile was ejected, it was immediately sucked into the long object, and then landed on the long object with a clang. After fixing the missile, the top steel beam and the bottom rotating platform immediately moved at the same time. The steel beam rotated forty-five degrees, causing the missile to change from pointing straight into the sky to pointing diagonally at the sky, while the bottom rotating chassis continued to move. The steel beam and the bracket rotated at a certain angle, so that the missile only wanted to head toward the bow of the ship.

Now I know what this is without King Chuang explaining it. This thing is basically a vertical missile launcher. The simple device on the top is actually the launcher. Its principle is just a few transmission devices and a few electromagnets. As long as they have the right tools, elementary school students can design it. The part under the launcher should be a conveyor belt, and the other side of the conveyor belt must be connected to the ammunition depot. In other words, this launcher can actually continuously launch the missiles in the ammunition depot one after another, and judging from the previous loading speed, the rate of fire of this thing may be exaggerated. Of course, although the technical content of these mechanical structures is very low when taken apart, they are quite high-tech when taken together. On this transmitter, there is nothing noteworthy about the mechanical operating devices. The real complexity should be the synchronization device. It is necessary to ensure precise synchronization between various machines. When there is a missile on the launcher, the second missile will never be ejected. Also, when the missile below is ejected, the launcher above must also be accurately positioned, otherwise if the missile is not caught, the missile will not be ejected. Let it fall to the deck, it will be great fun.

Just when I had just guessed the purpose of this thing, King Chuang also happened to introduce: "This is a missile vertical launch system designed to imitate the vertical missile launch system mounted on American cruisers in real life. The top of this The cost of the device is less than 5,000 crystal coins, and even if it is damaged, it can be replaced with a new one within ten minutes. The transportation system and ammunition depot below are protected by super armor, and non-launch missiles are completely within sealed armor. , will almost never be detonated by enemy artillery fire. Normally, no bombs are left on the launcher. When it needs to be launched, the first missile can be mounted and launched within five seconds, and the second missile can be loaded in just four seconds. , and this launcher can continue to fire at this speed until the missiles in the arsenal are empty."

"The launch speed is awesome, but I guess it won't be useful." I poured a basin of cold water over it, almost choking King Chuang to death. Seeing that he was still not convinced, I asked directly: "Is this equipped with liquefied magic crystal steam missiles?" King Chuang nodded immediately. I then asked: "This missile is so big, how much liquefied magic crystal vapor can it hold in one shot? Isn't it more than a thousand units?"

"It's one thousand two hundred units." The liquefied magic crystal steam in our guild is measured in one milliliter. The so-called one thousand two hundred units is actually 1.2 liters.

I nodded and continued: "The small liquefied magic crystal steam missile used by Mobile Angel only contains twenty units of liquefied magic crystal steam. Even with that kind of missile, one shot is enough to hit the outer armor of an ordinary battleship. Open a small hole. Even the previous Bi Ling class can at most withstand the attack of three pocket missiles at the same position. But your anti-ship type has a charge of 1,200 units, and its light explosive power is Sixty times that of a pocket missile. Because of its small size, the pocket missile does not undergo any additional processing. It only installs a trigger fuze and liquefied magic crystal steam at the warhead position. Your anti-ship missile is so big, there cannot be a simple liquefaction inside Does it have a magic crystal steam storage tank? Does it have a shaped charge structure? Does it have a metal jet structure? Does it have a secondary damage design for submunitions? Calculating it this way, the frontal destructive power of this anti-ship type is definitely more than the six-digit size of the pocket type. Ten times?"

King Chuang could only nod his head when he heard what I said. After all, this power is indeed more than that.

Seeing him nod, I continued: "How many missiles can a ship with such power be able to carry? Take the Bi Ling class as an example, what will happen after two missiles like this are fired?"

Seeing that I kept looking at him, King Chuang could only say: "If the Biling-class super battleship is hit by two missiles of this type, even if it only hits non-vital parts, it will be enough to make the entire ship lose its combat effectiveness. If you are unlucky, Direct sinking is also possible."

"Okay, even the Biling-class can only carry two rounds. How many rounds can those warships from other countries carry? As long as they hit, one round for one ship is no problem, right?"

King Chuang nodded again.

"One missile per ship, and this thing uses a guidance arrow magic array, which means it is a guidance arrow that has been magnified many times. With the guidance ability of the guidance arrow, flying creatures may still be able to hide. In the past, how did you avoid warships on the sea? The hit rate must be 100%. In other words, as long as you shoot out all the missiles in one go, the fleet on the opposite side will be completely destroyed. How do you expect it to have the chance to launch this kind of thing continuously? ? The enemy is not stupid. How many ships will be destroyed by this thing? Besides, this is not the only ship in the fleet equipped with this thing. I guess if there is a naval battle, this thing will only be able to make a profit at most. Four launches and there’s nothing to do.”

"Boss, you are so cruel. Did you say this thing is no longer a display?" King Chuang asked depressedly.

I nodded and said: "It's just a decoration, but it has to be placed there. You can think of it as a decoration specially used for battleships. You don't need it to appear in every battle, just put it to scare people."
