Chapter 246 Prototype attack ship\r
Although the new blood spirit fruit tree has entered the mature stage and started to bear fruit, it will take a few days to harvest it.
Before that, another news came, which made Su Bai very excited.
The fast attack ship concept he proposed before, the prototype ship has been completed, and the test can be started today!
Su Bai decisively brought everyone to the port and saw the newly built attack ship.
Compared to the 100-meter-long Shashen, the attack ship was much smaller in size.
This prototype attack ship is less than 20 meters long and has a full crew of 15 people.
Neither the firepower nor the thickness of the armor can be compared to the Killer.
But in exchange, is a super high movement speed.
The drive system of the attack ship, composed of power stones and floating seahorses, is a bold innovation.
Although it can't be as flexible as the seahorse chariot, it's not far behind.
And the attack and defense ability, throwing off the seahorse chariot more than a dozen streets.
After all, the specifications of the attack ship are there, and the "727" has formal armor.
Just not as thick as a battleship.
Looking at the seahorse chariot, it really depends on hiding for defense.
If you can't dodge, just roll over.
This was also the reason why Su Bai had the Seahorse Chariot withdraw to the defensive circle in the previous battle.
In the face of numerous enemies, the space for personal bravery is limited.
Unless the level is really high, it can kill seven in seven out.
But then again, if the level is so high, there is no need to drive the seahorse chariot, just fly over and kill the Quartet.
So Su Bai is only going to keep a small part of the seahorse chariots, and the rest will be rebuilt into attack ships.
Now is the time to accept the results.
According to the preliminary plan, the attack ship was fully staffed with 15 people, including one captain, one chief mate, eight gunners, two helmsmen, and a chariot team accompanying the ship.
"Islander, this is the newly designed energy cannon."
Gabriel excitedly raised a gun barrel and showed it in front of Su Bai.
The length of the new energy cannon was shortened to two meters, the diameter of the muzzle was thirty centimeters, and the overall weight remained below one ton.
A silver-level mermaid can be easily controlled with the help of a robotic arm.
Even in an emergency, the mermaid can directly unload the energy cannon and use it in her hand.
However, mermaids are not known for their strength and cannot be maintained for a long time.
Emergency can be, let them run around with energy cannons, it is a little difficult for them.
After reading the energy cannon, Su Bai tried it on his hand and asked, "How is the linkage effect between the energy cannon and the gunner.
Gabriel replied: "Island owner rest assured, it has been tested and there is no problem.
Su Bai couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said: "Quickly start the attack ship and test it.
Gabriel agreed immediately.
Afterwards, Teresa brought fourteen other silver-level mermaids forward.
They are the test members this time.
Subsequent attack ships are also configured in the same way.
The captain is Gold and the crew is Silver.
Even if it encounters a surprise attack from a hostile powerhouse, it can resist one or two and persist until friendly forces rescue it.
Such an arrangement made Su Bai nodded again and again.
Very reasonable.
"Get on board!
Teresa gave an order and led people into the attack ship.
Subsequently, the attack ship sailed out of the port.
First, the rapid acceleration and sharp turn tests were carried out.
After collecting the data, start the second round of testing.
That is, the attack test.
On the armor of the attack ship, eight energy cannons protruded from the firing ports, aimed at the targets on the left and right sides, and launched a salvo.
Even in rough seas, the hit rate is impressive.
This is also due to the weight reduction of the new energy cannon, which is more convenient to operate.
It can be adjusted before launch to improve the hit rate.
Subsequently, the attack ship continued to attack the target while evading to test the effect of mobile warfare.
Gabriel explained on the side: "Islander, because the new energy cannon has reduced its intensity and is also linked with the gunner, the firing interval has been shortened by a quarter, and the charging can be completed in one and a half minutes.
Su Bai nodded, very satisfied.
The new type of energy cannon wants this effect, with rapid fire as the main, and firepower second.
For the tough task, leave it to the Shashen and the fortress island.
No matter how bad it is, there is still a large energy cannon on the main island.
That thing was shot out, and there was no grass in a radius of nearly a thousand meters.
In his vision, the charging time of the new energy cannon can be further shortened.
It's best to recharge within a minute.
However, this time the attack ship and the new energy cannon are only experimental products, not final.
Subsequent modifications will continue.
Collecting his thoughts, Su Bai looked at the attack ship that was sailing at full speed.
The current maximum speed is 55 knots, and the hull style can be modified in the future, and it can be further improved.
In the end, it can reach 60 knots, which is twice as fast as the Killing God.
It is difficult for ordinary energy cannons to hit such a high-speed attack ship.
Coupled with armor protection, the safety of the crew is guaranteed.
Heshlet, who has an extraction entry, has developed a new alloy formula, which is stronger than meteorite iron.
Although the cost is high.
But Su Bai cares.
Don't care at all.
The vast number of island owners help him pay the bill, and there is no shortage of money.
Whether it is an attack ship or the equipment used by your own people, you must use the best.
Under the urging of the floating seahorse and power stone, the attack ship returned to the port.
The audience immediately cheered.
Especially the dwarves, their faces turned red with excitement.
This test was a success.
Not in vain for their hard work.
Gabriel said loudly: "Islander, this test has been successfully completed. We did what you asked for!"
Su Bai was also very emotional and replied, "You have worked hard."
Teresa and her party returned from the attack ship and came to Su Bai to report the situation: "Islander, the new equipment is very useful and we like it very much.
Su Bai said: "That's good, what needs to be improved."
Teresa thought for a moment: "Mainly in terms of power, it is best to separate the floating seahorses responsible for forward and steering, so that the two helmsmen can control them separately and can more accurately execute the captain's orders."
Su Bai nodded and looked at Gabriel.
Gabriel replied: "It can be done by modifying the position and layout of the floating hippocampus, and in addition, the sound transmission device must be strengthened so that commands can be better transmitted in a noisy environment.
Then, Su Bai asked the other fourteen mermaids to come up with their ideas.
They are the actual experiencers and can more directly discover the inadequacies.
Gabriel will also give a solution in time.
Soon, the modification plan of the 2.5 attack ship was completely completed.
Gabriel put away the records and assured: "The revision will be completed within two days.
"Very good. 35 Su Bai expressed his approval, "If there is no problem in the next test, we will go to full production and build ten attack ships first. What is the expected output.
Gabriel replied: "Without affecting the energy cannon and equipment forging, one can be launched in ten days. The construction difficulty of an attack ship is much lower than that of a battleship, and all parts can be cast at the same time, and then assembled and debugged at the end. .
Su Bai became more and more satisfied.
His fleet will soon be galloping on the sea, and it is exciting to think about it.
After explaining the arrangements, Su Bai took people back to the main island.
And Teresa and her party were surrounded by other mermaids.
The mermaids discovered that it was a very cool thing to drive a warship.
In contrast, the seahorse chariot is not so fragrant.
