Chapter 631 Miraculous Fleet

Eight years is not a long time, and the heroic spirits who joined in those years were still young boys, and it is not a short time. With enough interests and the call of the strong, the Northland, which has gone through several defense wars, has completely taken off. up.

The distance between the newborn Lanmeng and the super empire probably requires a war to prove its strength.

This is not a peaceful earth. When everyone knows that the jihad is coming, any increase in national power will naturally be thrown into the field of war.

The Beidi Lan League has made a lot of money in arms in the past few years, but the most advanced and mature weapons and equipment are always only for their own use... What? Advanced weapons that have not yet been marked appear on the battlefield in other regions? Haven't the soldiers of Lanmeng seen it themselves?

Cough, those new arms, maybe you will see them after a while, maybe you will never see them again, for example, the super super goblin death rpg with a shooting range shorter than the explosion radius, for example, the one who accidentally purchased unstable goblin fuel The super flamethrower, it is said that it will fire in three seconds... That thing seems to be called a super bomber, and it is actually purchased by some countries.

Over the years, Lanmeng's military observers, arms dealers, and great engineers have traveled all over the world, and all kinds of weapons and equipment that have passed the actual combat test have been formed one by one, but some things are not bought.

"The new Polaris Fleet is the most advanced floating battleship in the Arashi League. Compared with the first generation of the Northern Lights Fleet, it has a longer hull, thicker armor, and stronger artillery..."

"I know better than you, so you don't need to explain to me."

Get rid of the engineers who talk all the way. I began to carefully check the data of this ship.

The New Polaris, the No. 1 Beidou-type mothership, has a length of 302 meters. The ship has a width of 60 meters, 20 magic crystal-charged heavy guns, four mage towers for maintaining the protective circle, and one offensive mage tower. The bow of the ship is equipped with two super main guns with a maximum range of nearly 30 kilometers. It has a built-in ship garage that can accommodate vultures. There are sixteen Type IV assault ships and four Hurricane Type II cruisers. Forty dwarf phoenix fighters.

If this doesn't look good, compare the data of the prototype of the Northern Lights back then. The difference is obvious.

Aurora Borealis, a super-heavy battleship with a length of 243 meters and a width of 40 meters. Nine magic crystal-charged heavy guns, seven medium-sized mage towers, one super mage tower, thirty-two small and medium-sized engineering heavy guns, the bow super main gun has a maximum range of nearly 30 kilometers, and a built-in ship garage that can accommodate three vulture-type assault ships ship.

The Aurora Borealis back then was a prototype carefully developed by the Oran Empire. It was indeed very powerful, and it could be used as a powerful gunboat. There is also a mage tower on it to enhance the combat power of the spellcaster, and there is a storage compartment for small ships inside, which can be regarded as fully functional. But in actual combat, many problems have been exposed.

If used as a gunboat, the super main cannon is so powerful that even a demigod-level behemoth can't afford it, but it consumes a lot of mana, and a mage tower that lacks power can easily become a decoration. And if they are attacked by the air knights, they can only rely on the engineering guns removed from the city walls. The anti-ground artillery is used to hit the knights in the air, and the range and accuracy are so bad that they can be ignored.

When launching a surprise attack on the ground, the main guns dare not be used casually, and they must rely on the engineering artillery, which is simply the battleship version of the ground attack aircraft, which is too dangerous and wasteful. As for the vulture assault ships, no one is likely to count on him.

The prototype of the Northern Lights can be a typical theoretical blueprint machine. It looks beautiful and has comprehensive design functions, but it is full of problems when it is used. All-powerful means that it is impossible. If I hadn’t converted it into an undead with unlimited battery life The battleship may have sunk long ago.

But the new Aurora Borealis is obviously a functional warship.

He gave up the large mage tower that was too expensive and impractical, and only chose the functional protection mage tower. I am afraid that the main task of the mage accompanying the ship is to provide protection for the battleship and maintain various protective spells. The offensive mage The tower will probably only be activated when the military division is stationed.

Then it completely eliminated the engineering artillery of the backward era, and doubled the number of magic crystal-charged heavy artillery that can consume magic minerals and gems. It abandoned the mage tower, which consumes a lot of energy, and the firepower of the double-mounted naval gun can also be directly doubled. , The power of medium and long-range artillery fire can be said to be doubled.

The ground attack and air defense obviously mainly rely on the carrier-based aircraft and offensive ships among them, and the change of type from gunboat to mothership undoubtedly shows that this is its most important combat performance.

And I saw from another source that he actually has nearly a hundred Griffin Knights and 12 Aurora Knights, which undoubtedly shows its determination to strengthen the air knight duel... I am afraid that even two dragon knights will not will be shot down quickly.

Lanmeng's engineers are not stupid, even if I don't care, they have learned lessons from actual combat, and without hesitation, they gave up the old-fashioned carrier-based magic group and artillery bombardment, and chose the carrier-based battle between the carrier-based aircraft and the carrier-based aircraft Group, in order to strengthen its air and ground support capabilities, maximizing the strategic significance of floating warships to the entire battle situation.

"The seven are all motherships?"

I remember the few ships that were still under construction at that time, there should be no aircraft carrier model.

"The Beidou type are all aircraft carrier gunships with a certain bombardment capability. The old models were either sold or directly refitted. The new type motherships are mainly carrier-based aircraft. The actual combat has also proved the advantages of this combat method. , However, due to the limited production capacity of our shipyard, only four carrier-based aircraft have been deployed..."

I nodded and didn't even ask why. Shipbuilding is a waste of money. It also needs a sufficient foundation of industry, magic, and alchemy. The industrial foundation of the Northland is weak. I am already very satisfied to be able to do this. It seems that these years I really made a lot of money doing the arms business.

And after the mothership is made, those assault boats and small fighters also need to spend time and energy preparing, and it is not a short-term thing.

"Then the other three motherships are empty?"

"No, this time Her Highness Renee has brought more than a dozen infantry and knight squads, including the Avalanche Squad and the Silver Cross Knights, as well as the archers and spellcasters of the Northland Elves. They will play an important role in the landing battle. function. Then the fleet followed with 16 adult dragons, but they were all young dragons about ten meters in length."

I nodded in satisfaction. At least for now, it sounds more reliable. Renee and her fleet have already walked ahead of us, but the New Northern Lights was sent to pick them up.

As for those giant dragons, as the connection between Lanmeng and the underground dragon city is getting closer and closer, the black dragons and red dragons in the underground world have become the hired soldiers of Lanmeng. The ship has a high degree of fit, quick attack, strong air combat ability and can also cast spells, which makes up for the lack of flexibility of the mothership battle group, and is very popular with the military.

Of course, the old dragon is still very reserved, and Xiaohong's underground dragon city can't command them. Those little black dragons and young red dragons who have no house (dragon lair) and no wife (treasure mountain) have no integrity. There is also the so-called dignity of the dragon clan. Now that the dragon queen has ordered it, it is decent and can make money. The intensity of human wars is not high for the dragon clan. The danger of life is less than that of robbing houses and encountering dragon slayers. The income is stable and high , and a good reputation and honor, why not do it.

"It seems that Renee didn't just come to rescue this time..."

If they were purely here to save people, the warships would be empty, and it would be convenient to leave with people loaded on them. With heavy firepower and powerful fighters, they naturally planned to fight a good battle.

"Your Majesty said that this is the first head-to-head confrontation in the jihad, and our Lanmeng First Fleet must play with style and momentum..."

"...Then the little goblin will broadcast the whole process, so it's convenient to sell arms?"

The young captain of the New Northern Lights smiled and did not answer, but this silence has already proved my guess.

"The shrunken version of the mothership has already been mass-produced?"

"...the first ship was delivered to Bayer two months ago, but please don't call him the shrunken version, this is Bayer's commercial version."

I smiled and didn't say much. The carrying capacity of the mothership is limited and it's here to save people. Renee wouldn't foolishly fill it up with elite soldiers. She probably just brought a regiment of each unit. I plan to use the battlefield to collect data, and consider the adaptability of the various arms of the Lan League to the abyssal arms.

"It's really getting more and more decent..."

I sigh a little, maybe Renee is not an all-powerful queen who is good at handling government affairs, but in the military, the constant victories bring endless honor to the knight princess, and her excellent vision always makes correct and far-sighted choices. Step by step, her reputation is getting louder and louder, and she vaguely has the prestige of the leader of the younger generation.

"It seems that I really chose an excellent successor."

And a day later, the New Northern Lights rejoined the Beidou Fleet, and I saw Renee again, but this time, her situation was a little strange. (to be continued)

ps: Well, it seems that the status is not bad today, so I made a double update, and finally made up for what I owed before....
