One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 418: Qinglong's Main Gun
"Everyone! The first thing you see is! The triple-mounted cannon type α! Through the latest design concept, it can achieve an attack range twice that of naval guns! Not only that! We have also equipped it with the latest invention, a fast! Automated! Reloading device! Free your hands! The number of people operating the turret is greatly reduced! Even if there is only one person! It can complete the loading and firing of shells in an emergency! What! Isn't it a genius design!"

At this time, Kui excitedly introduced to everyone the turret of the Qinglong that he designed. Unlike the navy's round design like an inverted bowl, the Qinglong's turret was angular. Moreover, compared with the navy's short and thick gun barrels, the Qinglong's gun barrels were more slender, and the triple-mounted gun barrels were like sharp swords rising into the sky.

"Hey, Quinn, why do I feel that your gun barrel is not as thick as the one in the navy? Didn't you say that it is more powerful than the one in the navy?"

Kaido looked at the somewhat slender gun barrel and couldn't help but ask Quinn. After all, the fear of insufficient firepower is a problem that probably every naval warrior suffers from, and it is more serious than the army. After all, the army can engage in close combat, but it is too difficult to engage in a bayonet fight at sea.

(As a retired navy officer, I would like to pay my highest respects to all the veterans who fought bravely and fearlessly in the Battle of the Paracel Islands. Thank you for your efforts.)
"Don't worry about this. Next is the second point I want to introduce. We have developed the latest type of shells. Compared with the original round, unstable iron ball shells, this type of cone-head shell is easier to detonate and has greater lethality. Especially in naval battles, even if there is a one in a thousand chance that this shell will not detonate, it can still sink the enemy ship with its own pointed tip."

Quinn took out a cannonball from the turret that was larger than the Yamato and began to introduce it.

"In addition, I applied the rifling modification technology I previously used on guns to the gun barrel. With this kind of shell and the elongated gun barrel, there is no need to worry about the firepower issue. The firepower will only be stronger, never weaker!"

Although the cost of building the Azure Dragon was ridiculously high, which gave Lily a headache as she was already short of funds due to the expansion of Baique, the final result was still satisfactory. As an experimental warship, Quinn and the Intelligent Control Core 10001 put almost all the technology on the Azure Dragon, except for some equipment that was indeed incompatible. As for these incompatible equipment, Quinn and the Intelligent Control Core 10001 wanted to put them on the Suzaku, making the Azure Dragon and the Suzaku two ships with completely different focuses.

On the design drawing, the estimated size of the Suzaku is more than three times that of the Azure Dragon. Of course, what exactly will it be like? That is unknown. Who knows what sudden ideas they will have? The design drawings of the Azure Dragon have been frantically modified during the past six months as the work progresses. That is to say, the efficiency of the people in the Pirate World is incredibly high, and the robot construction team of the Mechanical City does not need to rest. Otherwise, this ship will not be launched in half a year. With the situation of adding more water to flour and more flour to water, it will definitely be like a fighter plane of the world's third most powerful country, and it will not be launched in forty years.

"Very good, very good. By the way, how long does it take for the automatic reloading device you just mentioned to fire a round?"

Kaido asked his question again. Having already decided on this ship as his own, Kaido felt that he must understand this ship thoroughly. Although when he is actually fighting, he will definitely not stay on the ship and command the battle honestly, but will rush out to fight the opponent head-on. After all, that is where he can show his value. But no matter what, as the captain, he must understand his own ship.

"It can fire a salvo every 15 seconds. Of course, the ship is also equipped with an overload function, which allows it to fire a salvo every 5 seconds when necessary. However, it cannot be turned on for a long time because it will cause the barrel to overheat and the mechanical fatigue of the reloading device. We really can't replace the entire artillery with the special metal produced by Dai. The demand is too high, so it can only be used in some important parts."

Quinn spread his hands and said, in fact, the speed of launching a round of salvos in 15 seconds is already terrifying, but in this strange world, all kinds of strange things can happen, 15 seconds is actually a relatively moderate speed.

"There are three main guns in total, arranged in the order of two in front and one in the back. In addition to the main guns, there are also medium-range guns. Everyone, follow me and I will show you."

Quinn said as he led everyone to the other side, where a row of turrets that were obviously smaller than the main guns appeared. Apart from being much smaller in size, these turrets had also been changed from triple-mounted to double-mounted. These turrets stood on both sides of the ship like rows of guards.

"This is a medium-range artillery, used to deliver firepower in the gaps between the main guns. Although its power and range are not as good as the main guns, it is much stronger than the previous ones. Most importantly, this type of artillery has a very fast reload speed, and can fire a round of salvos every 4 seconds. Similarly, this type of artillery is also equipped with an automatic reload device, which does not require manual operation. This is a safe point. I'll ask someone to fire a shot for you to see."

Quinn said, calling a gunner who had been prepared long ago, and asked him to get into the gun position and aim at the target that had been prepared long ago in the distance. It was not that Quinn did not want to go in and fire the gun himself, but because when it was designed, he hoped to use all the space, so the door of the gun position did not support Quinn's stature to enter. Strangely enough, the excellent gunners on the side of the Beasts seemed to be some people who were not tall, and the automatic ammunition replacement device was also designed for these people. After all, this would allow these excellent gunners to fight alone without the need for a special person to carry ammunition. As the gunner adjusted, everyone watched the turret start to rotate, and soon it aimed at the target in the distance.

"Everyone! Cover your ears!"

Quinn shouted and quickly covered his ears. Looking at Quinn's appearance, the others naturally followed suit. Since the builder asked everyone to cover their ears, they should just listen to him. Isn't it better to listen to others' advice and have a full meal?

Of course, there are definitely some people who don’t listen, such as Kaido. He crossed his arms across his chest and was not afraid at all. In his opinion, this thing could not scare him, because he is the Demon King Kaido!

"boom!"

The huge sound of the cannon made many people feel lucky. Fortunately, they had foresight and listened to Quinn's words to cover their ears. The sound of this thing is so loud even if you cover your ears! I really don't know how miserable the people inside will be. In fact, these people are worrying too much. This kind of thing has long been considered by Quinn and others. These turrets have super sound insulation inside, and are also equipped with special soundproof earplugs to ensure the safety of the people inside as much as possible.

While there are those who are lucky, there are also those who are unlucky. Many people were frightened by the sudden sound of artillery fire and sat down on the ground. Not everyone has Kaido's self-control and is not afraid of such huge noise at all.

Kaido's eyes were fixed on the cannonballs that were fired. Sure enough, Quinn was not bragging this time. This conical cannonball was indeed much stronger than the round one. It did not deviate at all during the flight. It flew straight towards the target floating on the sea and hit it accurately, followed by a second explosion.

With Kaido's eyesight, he could clearly see that the moment the shell touched the target, it exploded. This was completely different from the round shells that depended on luck to explode. The sensitivity of this shell was simply too high. However, this also made Kaido worry about another thing, which was...

"Quinn, this shell is so sensitive. Are you sure it won't explode due to vibration? Even inside the ship, it might explode due to various vibrations?"

Kaido's worries are not unreasonable. After all, anyone who has stayed in the waters of the New World for a period of time knows how bad the sailing environment is.

"Don't worry. We have already considered this kind of thing. The trigger fuse of this kind of shell is composed of two sections. Not to mention the trigger fuse on the top of the shell, the shell below is also special. The trigger fuse above will not be activated until the shell is separated from the shell, and this requires the entire shell to be stimulated. Activating the shell requires a special stimulation device in the turret. So, Brother Kaido, you don't have to worry about it. All of this has been thought of by the genius Grandpa Quinn! Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Cough, vomit, it hurts!"

Quinn was laughing so hard that his tongue stuck out. Then a flying bird came over and a piece of bird droppings fell accurately into Quinn's mouth. Quinn, who was choked, closed his mouth and bit his tongue. Suddenly, Quinn, who was so proud just now, started to vomit wildly while grabbing the edge of the boat.
