Chapter 2640

"Sir, we are ready to fire at any time." Sophie sent me a message after the fleet was ready.

"You are a fleet commander now. I'm just going to be a scout here temporarily. If you have any decision, you can make it yourself. Don't ask me."

"All right." Sophie was not polite to me either. She accepted my advice directly and began to command the fleet.

Because the distance between the two sides is still far away, Sophie did not let the fleet cross in order to pursue the maximum firepower density, but still kept the current course and speed unchanged. After all the warships said they were ready, Sophie ordered the first main turret of the Christina to fire.

"Main turret one, firing order confirmed. When the new bomb is loaded, it will be fired immediately. "

As the order was given, the autoloader in the turret immediately rolled up, and a small looking shell was pushed out of the loader, and then entered the conveyor belt behind the gun barrel along the slide. Then, a mechanical arm pushed the shell on the conveyor belt into the gun barrel with the gun door opened in front.

the shell is a calibration guided bomb for calibration purposes. Instead of liquefied crystal powder, it is filled with a very powerful magic gel. This kind of thing is like all-purpose glue. No matter what solid material is encountered, it will stick to it immediately. It takes a lot of trouble and time to clean it down.

, of course, the role of this gel is not to stick the enemy's warship to a certain place without moving it. After all, the sea itself is not equipped with a fixed capacity. Even if the gel is covered with a warship, it will not be able to stop the other party from moving forward.

has three real functions. First, cost savings.

The price of liquefied magic crystal steam is very expensive. Even if the cannons of our guild have high precision, it is unlikely to hit the first shot in the process of calibration. Therefore, almost 100% of the first shell will miss. Since the liquid shell in the shell is doomed to be expensive, it will not continue to be used. Therefore, this super cheap gel has become the first choice ammunition. After all, compared with a few thousand crystal coins, it is much cheaper and cheaper than ten crystal coins.

apart from the price advantage, this gel has the characteristic of strong contractility. The explosive charge contained in the special projectile can explode in the air. After the explosion, the power of the central charge will release the gel, but because of the super adhesive force of the gel, it will not be completely blown away, but will become a huge plastic film. When any point of this film touches the warship, the other parts around it will be quickly pulled onto the warship and completely covered by the colloid itself. That is to say, if the gel meets one point, it will be covered by a warship, so that the maximum hit can be guaranteed.

of course, it is useless to hit the light, because this gel is not toxic except for its difficulty in cleaning up, two is not corrosive, and three is less explosive. In fact, such a thing itself is not much deterrent. However, we added something else in the gel. This is a kind of magic enhanced crystal made from scraps produced in the production process of magic crystal. The crystal is made of leftover material, so the particles are very small. They are uniformly added to those gels and can be fixed in the middle without falling off. When the gel is covered on the warship, these crystals will be glued together on the surface of the warship. And because of the gel characteristics, the enemy wants to get these crystals down, and at least needs to enter a shipyard for several days to work, which is basically impossible on the battlefield.

It's no big deal to be covered by some crystals on the warship, but these crystals have very special abilities. As we all know, the magic stone can absorb the free magic energy in nature to supplement its own energy, but the low-level magic stone has no self charging ability. It's not that they can't absorb energy, but they don't absorb it as fast as they emit, so unless it's in a high energy field, the total energy is always decreasing.

Although the characteristics of white magic stone, a kind of low-grade magic stone, determines that they can hardly be reused, we can make its scraps produce different effects. The crushed crystal fragments themselves are small pieces of white magic stone, so they will absorb energy like large pieces of white magic stone. Moreover, the speed of energy absorption of white magic stone is only related to the surrounding energy density and its surface area, but the speed of energy loss depends entirely on its own quality. Therefore, for the white devils, the larger the size, the faster the loss of magic power, because their surface area and the total mass ratio of internal magic stones are low. On the contrary, the magic loss speed of small pieces of magic stones will be much slower. Even if the pieces of white magic stones are small enough, they can even achieve a kind of balance, so that their magic power is always stable on a horizontal line without rising or falling.

the spinel fragment added to the gel is a stable magic crystal fragment which is small enough to achieve the magic energy absorption and loss balance. Because the surface area of the fragments is larger than the internal volume, the speed of absorbing magic energy is relatively fast. Because the speed of internal absorption and dissipation is above a balance point, this kind of magic crystal fragment becomes a small magic field generator which can absorb and release magic energy continuously.When a mage uses magic, it can be sensed by other mages in advance. This is achieved by magic wave. These magic crystal fragments that constantly absorb and release magic are small magic wave generators that constantly release magic waves. All warships in our guild are equipped with special magic wave capturing devices. That is to say, as long as the opponent's warship is attached to this piece of smectite, we can track and locate its exact location from a long distance.

, you can see that our bullet is actually an automatic tracker. Although it can be cleaned up, it costs a lot. At least, at least in this battle, the enemy can not be cleaned up. So, this kind of thing is very easy to use.

With the order from Sophie, the NPC gunner who operates the electromagnetic railgun immediately presses the switch next to it, which means that the loading is completed. Then the operators in the fighting room under the bridge begin to adjust the angle and direction of the artillery according to the firing parameters.

The Christina obviously inherited the design features of the guild's large warships, that is, all the cannons had two operating systems, one inside the bridge, protected by heavy armour. It is close to the communication room, which is the core of the battle of the warship. In normal combat, all the firepower on the warship is under unified control here. Of course, if it's destroyed or there's something wrong with the line, the personnel in the turret can also use manual operation.

At present, the Cristina has not officially participated in the war, so the operating system can not be out of order. The combat command system is still in charge of the battle command center in Cambridge. With the green light on behalf of the completion of loading, the operator quickly adjusted the firing parameters, and then directly pressed the launch button.

As the occurrence button was pressed, a circle of blue runes suddenly appeared at the bottom of the barrel of the electromagnetic cannon on the left side of the No.1 turret. The blue runes began to spread along the inner wall of the barrel, and finally a dense blue Rune was lit from the bottom of the barrel to the muzzle. With the appearance of these runes, a kind of buzzing sound began to appear in the whole barrel. In the inner wall of the barrel, there were a lot of arcs jumping back and forth, as if they would erupt at any time.

This state is complicated, but in fact, it is only a second or more. When all runes are lit up, a green magic array is suddenly lit up at the bottom of the shell. Then the shell originally sunk in the lower part of the barrel suddenly floats and slowly vibrates on the central axis of the barrel. After the shell is completely suspended, the bottom of the green suddenly began to become more and more bright, at the same time the shell began to rotate slowly in place, and the speed is faster and faster. After two seconds, the suspended shell has entered the state of high-speed rotation. At this time, the blue Rune in the whole barrel suddenly flashed suddenly, and a large number of dazzling electric arcs appeared behind the projectile in an instant. At the same time, the projectile seemed to emerge as a flash of lightning, and flew to the front fleet in an instant.

Boom. After a not too strong explosion, the sudden shell exploded directly in the air. The scattered yellow gel suddenly spread into a large net with a diameter of at least more than 200 meters, and at the same time, it continued to move diagonally to the sea at forty-five degree angle.

Because the shells appeared so suddenly, the fleet here was totally unprepared. The sudden opening of the gel took only one second to hit the stern of a battleship, and then the remaining gel was automatically contracted to the tail of the warship because of the contraction of the tension. It not only successfully covered the end of the warship, but also twisted the warship's propellers in a twisted way. As a result, the warship began to slow down slowly and gradually began to break away. Formation.

However, the formation of the main fleet did not slow down, but a new formation of the fleet continued to form.

Obviously, the other party has some means of communication that can replace the semaphore. Think about it, but it should be. The crystal communication device of our guild has been used for so long. Others must have found some communication technologies that can be used. However, it is hard to find such flexible communication technologies as ours for the time being. But warships are big enough that even the heaviest communication equipment can be installed.

I had already informed Sophie of the changes when the other side just started to adjust the formation. Sophie of course started to give instructions to a ship immediately.

At the same time, the three front main Forts of the Christina began to be filled with liquefied magic crystal steam shells. This time, it was replaced by a real liquefied magic crystal steam shell, which was at least seven or eight times larger than the previous one. The diameter of the shell before was only 30 cm. Although it was very large in terms of shell, it was still too small compared with the 1.65 caliber barrel. This time, the liquefied magic crystal steam cannonball is not the same. This is a regular large-scale cloud bomb for the main ship. The diameter of each round is more than 1.2 meters. The shell has no eggshell and propellant. It has only one warhead and its length is more than two meters. Such a big shell has several tons of self weight, and it is filled with liquefied magic crystal steam. You can imagine how powerful this thing is."Loading complete." After receiving the announcement, the battle command center did not launch immediately, but directly inquired about Sophie in the bridge overhead.

Without hesitation, Sophie ordered the fire. The operator below immediately pressed the firing button, followed by the six main guns on the three turrets, fired in sequence at 0.5 seconds interval. After the blue arc from the six rounds, the opposite fleet was almost shot at the same time.

The speed of the electromagnetic railgun is not the same concept as the general artillery. The speed of the shell is very amazing. Although there is no comparison with the speed of light, this speed is actually the limit on earth.

For the time being, the power of the shells was not known, so the six main guns of the Christina were all aimed at one target, and the result was that the six shells almost hit the marked warship in no order.

Hovering over the enemy fleet, I first saw six small explosions. Then I saw that the surrounding area of the warship suddenly turned into a vast expanse of white. That was the magic crystal vapor cloud diffused by the high-density liquefied magic crystal vapor. Then, I saw that cloud like things suddenly flashed, a circle of waves on the sea suddenly spread out, and the intense light made me block my eyes with my hands for a moment. When I looked down again, I saw a huge white mushroom cloud rising slowly. It was the cloud formed by the vaporized sea water. Below, there was only a little black metal debris left on the warship, and it was sinking slowly.

There was no damage, no fracture, no explosion. The explosive force of the liquid magic crystal steam shell actually directly blasted the other party's warship into the sea bottom. I didn't see how the other party's warships were damaged. This kind of power can't be used to say that it is insane!

"President, what's the effect? Did you hit it? " Because I didn't report the situation, Sophie couldn't help but ask.

After hearing Sophie's words, I recovered from my shock, and after swallowing a little saliva, I began to say, "all six shells hit. As for power It's like a small nuclear bomb. The other warship was photographed directly into the bottom of the sea. I didn't see how it sank! The power is so terrible. Just one second. I blinked, and the whole ship was gone

To my surprise, Sophie was not so surprised at the result. Instead, she nodded and said, "it looks like I thought."

"You know that's the result?"

Sophie admitted: "I've seen it before when testing artillery. This is also reasonable. "

"And you use six shells at a time? No money for liquefying magic crystal steam? "

"I don't know the actual combat effect. I want to practice it."

"You've done it now. When dealing with enemy warships in the future, the most important thing is to shoot two guns together. Don't play with this kind of fire collecting. It's a waste of ammunition

"Good president. Oh, by the way, President, I have one more thing to report. "

"What's the matter?"

"The designers of the Cristina said that our warship has not been tested for command systems in complex naval situations, so we may not attack again later."

"No attack? Are you going to wait for a beating? "

"No, we want to bring the fleet closer, and then we're going to have a multi warship mix."

"It's up to you. As I said, I'll be a temporary guest, and you'll be the fleet commander."

"Oh, yes."

The so-called test command system is actually to let the warship in the situation of being attacked by the enemy to see if the command system is busy. Because the warships of the guild are taking the elite route, they have never suppressed the number of warships in the first line guild. In fact, the number of small warships will not be superior to those of large ones. Of course, the fact that quantity is not dominant does not mean that our combat effectiveness is not dominant.

Because all the warships of frost rose league are unified command system, the combat effectiveness of the battle is far better than that of the enemy fleet. Moreover, our guild warships always have an advantage in artillery range, so we can usually fly kites out of the enemy's range, and then directly knock out the other's warships with artillery shells. Anyway, the other side's range can't hit us, but we can hit them, and their speed is not as fast as ours.

It is precisely because the fleet of this guild has always used this tactic of "fighting less and more", so our combat mode has always relied on our command system. Command is very important in over the horizon attack and in the battle of winning more with less, so our warships must test whether this command system can adapt to the combat capability of new warships.

The two sides temporarily stopped fighting because the fleet needed to close in to test the command system. Of course, it's just that we stopped shelling on both sides, because the other side has no idea where we are.

Although we don't know our specific location, the other side has sunk a warship, so all the remaining warships have entered the serpentine maneuver state. Although such a way of navigation will increase the range and slow down the ship's speed, it is very good for avoiding long-range attack. After all, if the warship is constantly serpentine, the course cannot be predicted. If the shell flies for a long time, the probability of firing deviation will be greatly increased. Of course, the other side didn't know that it was useless, because our warships used electromagnetic railguns. At the speed of this thing, at this distance, the shell from the muzzle to hit the target would not exceed five seconds. It's really impossible to do anything at the speed of the warship at such a time. So they thought that we had to give up long-range artillery because of their snake like maneuver. In fact, we stopped the shelling voluntarily in order to test the command system.As the distance between the two sides approached, the lookout of the other side finally saw our fleet.

"Report. We have a target right ahead." On the flagship of the fleet, the lookout, who was in charge of observing the enemy, suddenly cried out.

Because our guild fleet and Japanese fleet have fought many large-scale naval battles before, guilds all over the world pay more attention to our guild fleet. For example, the top of our guild warship is equipped with super large caliber observation and aiming equipment, which can't be kept secret. After all, it's too big to be seen directly from afar. Our warships are wandering all over the world. Naturally, many people know that our warships are equipped with this kind of observation and targeting system.

Considering that there is no radar in the game and the effect of air detection is quite limited, we all know the advantages of this kind of observation and aiming equipment. Since they know the advantages of this kind of thing, other guilds are not stupid. Of course, they will copy them. It's a pity that the super large aperture lens used in the observation and aiming equipment can't even be produced by frost rose League, and can only be imported from the iron crusaders. Therefore, those guilds can't make such large sight glasses.

The larger the aperture of the telescope is, the more light is received, and the target can be found at a longer distance. This principle is very simple, but the problem is that lens grinding is a kind of non production and high-precision work. So far, even our guild can only guarantee the production of observation lens with a diameter of less than two meters. If it is larger, it is purely a chance. It's good to make one or two qualified lenses out of ten lenses. In contrast, the iron Crusader's five meter sight glass is just like cheating devices. We can't even think how they got it. Other guilds are helpless about this thing.

The fleet that is fighting us on the opposite side is not a junk fleet. All of their warships are equipped with advanced observation and aiming system. Unfortunately, the diameter of their observation and sighting lens is much smaller than that of ours. As a new and cutting-edge warship, Christina naturally needs to use a special observation and aiming system, so it is equipped with a six meter caliber observation and aiming lens. Even Ashford and they can't guarantee the production of this product. The production of this product is often accompanied by dozens or hundreds of waste products. Therefore, the price of this thing is absolutely shocking. However, because it is large enough, the observation distance of this object is not comparable to that of the other party's observation and aiming system. However, after all, the other side also has an observation and aiming system, so they finally found our fleet far enough away, but what they don't know is that our fleet has been staring at them for a long time.

Standing up to the report of their own lookout, a player in the other party's flagship command room immediately yelled excitedly at the overhead viewing equipment room window: "report the other party's warship parameters."

"Measurement parameters. The length of the other warship Length... "

"What's the length? What are you stuttering about? " The fleet commander below hastily urged.

After swallowing his mouth, the watcher calmed down a little and said, "the estimated length of the other warship is over 950 meters, not more than 1050 meters."

"What?" The command room below was filled with alarm. Although the warships in the game can be built very large, but the data is still too frightening. What is a thousand meter long warship? It's just a floating island! You know, even if two aircraft carriers are connected head to tail, they are not 1000 meters long.

"Are you sure you didn't read the wrong scale?" One of the commanders called out.

The lookout replied with certainty: "yes, that's the data. Unless there is something wrong with the equipment, the reading is absolutely OK."

After hearing this answer, the Officer immediately turned to the fleet commander nearby and said, "haggs, I think 80% of the fleet we meet this time is the frost rose Alliance fleet."

The commander named Higgs did not speak. Instead, he went directly to his command position, sat down and tied up his seat belt. Then he said, "we knew what our purpose was when we came out of the port. Now that we meet, do you want to be stage fright? This war is going to happen sooner or later. Why be timid because it is a little bit ahead of time? "

Haggs's words made the people in the bridge silent for a while. A few seconds later, one of the guys who seemed to be in a high position suddenly turned around and walked to the door. At the same time, he said, "Higgs was right. We knew when we came out that there would be friction with the Chinese people, so we would have a war with the frost rose Alliance fleet sooner or later. This time, all the warships coming out are our latest and cutting-edge warships. Even if the performance of frost rose League warships is higher, they will not be much advanced than our fleet. And have you forgotten? The best thing the frost rose alliance ships are good at is long-range shelling out of sight. Now that the other side has entered our maximum range, we can fight back. What do you have to be hesitant about After that, the guy opened the door of Cambridge and went out. Then he jumped directly down the spiral staircase and flew to a warship nearby.

When the rest of the captains in the bridge saw someone taking the lead, they began to recover from their fear of the reputation of the frost rose League. One of them said directly, "it's all for profit. I'll follow Higgs anyway. If any of you is afraid, just turn around and go back. Just don't come back and talk to us about the distribution of interests. "www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
