==========
The scorching sun in the sky ruled the world without resistance, and its afterglow completely shone on the land of the floating island, shining golden patches of people who were cultivating farmland.

Inside the shipyard of A04, in a hut, a sweaty technician is carefully holding the design model of the warship with his tentacles, while moving the turret on it, and waving his hands, explaining everything he knows to the elder in front of him.

"Elder Darkblood, please look, the naval guns of battleships are different from the naval guns installed in the cabin of civilian floating ships at zero time, which can only be fired at the outside of the cabin. It is designed to rotate 360 ​​degrees and adjust the muzzle angle between '-23 degrees to +82 degrees', thus providing the battleship with an almost hemispherical area of ​​attack."

"As for our hull, future expansion and improvement have been considered in the design, so the spaceship does not adopt the fixed skeleton mode that has been verified by civilian floating ships, but adopts the newly designed modular turret mode. That is to say, As long as the base can meet the standard, whether it is a 10mm or 300mm gun can be mounted on it, of course, the recoil of 300mm is a problem, so I won’t mention it here.”

In fact, the design of the airship at this time is similar to the spaceships imagined by human society. Of course, the airship can only fly below 20000 meters in the atmosphere. Except for the appearance, it is much different from those powerful spaceships.

Considering that pumice only needs to provide stable energy, it can produce a powerful floating ability similar to anti-gravity. As the core of Pengzu's floating technology, the design of all floating boat hulls is based on the pumice energy tank. The hull skeleton, which will be completely modified for the later installation of the magnetic field engine on the battleship.

According to the technician: "The battleship we are designing now can be attributed to the second-generation airship, because in many concepts, it is far from the previous design of the first-generation civilian airship, whether it is the hull, maneuverability Engines, weapons, and even internal circuitry have nothing to do with it."

"I want to know when the second-generation warship you mentioned will come out, and its capabilities in attack, defense, and maneuver."

The ones who opened the door were Kong Huan and 8051. They heard the nervous voice of the technician inside and thought they were in a meeting, but they didn't expect to see Dark Blood here. .

On the other hand, 8051 seemed to remember something, smiled awkwardly, then nodded to Dark Blood and said, "Sure enough, it's here, it seems like it's right to come here directly."

"Well, are you done with the work over there?" Not aware of anything wrong, Dark Blood nodded to 8051 to express his understanding, and then looked at Kong Huan.

"I'm done. You know my level. It's okay to raise a little bit, but if you really want to participate, there's nothing you can do. So after expressing my thoughts, I left decisively. It's dark blood, you flashed too fast. .”

"Well, nothing."

His cheeks twitched a little, and Dark Blood looked back at the technician who felt pressured by the entrance of Void and 8051. He nodded to comfort the other party, and at the same time signaled the other party to continue.

However, Kong Huan found embarrassingly that whenever Dark Blood looked at the technician, the technician would tremble unnaturally.I said, what the hell did you do, dark blood?

"That, Elder Kong Huan, the design of our family's first floating battleship, the design bureau adheres to the rigorous and meticulous concept..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about the key points I just asked, and think about the others later."

"Ah, yes."

Wiping off his cold sweat, although the affinities of Void Fantasy and 8051 are very deceptive, the sense of oppression of the three people present is too strong. This technician who was pushed by colleagues in the design bureau to receive Dark Blood, I am afraid that at this time, he has already put the Colleagues scolded him all over the place.

But he should be thankful that Dark Blood and 8051 are not in the mood to pry into his heart, otherwise...

In short, he's not good enough...

Should Kong Huan be happy?
After thinking about it, the researcher put the model on the table, motioned everyone to look at it, and explained based on the model: "Three elders, this is the design shape of the first floating battleship, but we will use welded All-steel construction for strength."

"However, although the pumice stone allows us to expand the spaceship to almost the size of a floating island without ignoring the steel material problem, we are making a battleship after all, not a floating island. Therefore, in order to improve the defense and Structural, we still need to wait for the design of marine alloy steel to be completed.”

"How long will it take?" Kong Huan frowned, time is running out now, and for friends floating in the sky, the floating battleship is the core of safety.

"According to the factory, practical finished products will be produced within half a year."

"That's good."

Pointing to the deck and other positions in the hull, the researcher continued: "According to the alloy steel data given by the other party, our warship will have a 100mm deck, a pure steel skeleton, and a thickness of 150 or even 200mm in key parts. Armor, it can resist the attack of 1000mm city defense electromagnetic gun at a distance of 100 meters."

"What about the tonnage? It sounds like size is the problem?" Dark Blood directly pointed out the key.

"This... Because of this design, the attack power and the installation of the magnetic field engine must be taken into account at the same time. Therefore, the tonnage of a warship of this level in front of you will reach an unprecedented 2700 tons."

"The tonnage is still second." The 2700-ton oil tanker in the human world and the kilometer size of the battleship in the universe are all overshadowed by the 8051 tons. Poor technician, if it is not [-], Void and Dark Blood, but other elders, I am afraid I will feel a little bit.

But at this time, Kong Huan just nodded lightly, and continued to ask: "Tell me about the attack power?"

The research department sent to the meteorite area has not yet estimated the attack capability of the Zerg's plasma cannon.Therefore, the defense capability of the battleship can only be used as a reference, and there is still a hidden worry in Kong Huan's heart: the Zerg is a space race, and the defense of space battleships in space cannot be weaker than the current floating ships of the friends, right?In this way, with the current smelting level of the Pengzu, trying to use the airship to resist the opponent's attack in vain is completely courting death.

In fact, the best way is to equip the battleship with Youshen class and use the power of thought to deflect the opponent's bombardment, but on the one hand, the opponent's attack frequency is not high; on the other hand, a large number of Youshen class is needed to support it. Go find so many mid-level members of the Psyche class who can deflect plasma cannons.

Therefore, at this time, we can only consider attack power and dodge ability first. I can't handle your attack, can't I rely on agility to dodge, and then find an opportunity to smash you to death with my fist?

The researcher obviously didn't know what Kong Huan and others were thinking at this time. Seeing that Kong Huan and the others were indifferent to the already super powerful defense and tonnage in his eyes, they could only curl their lips depressedly, then pointed to the turret on the model and said: " We will adopt a modular turret design, and this level of warships will have 3 left and right, a total of 6 main turret installation areas."

"In the current design plan, there are three alternative turrets: 250mm, 30 times the caliber single-tube electromagnetic gun turret, 17 tons in weight, 3-4 people to operate; 150mm 35 times the caliber double-tube electromagnetic gun turret, 13 tons in weight, the operator 2 — 3 people; 50mm six-tube hybrid high-speed electromagnetic gun turret, 15 tons in weight, and 2 operators."

Seeing the eagerness in the eyes of Hollow and Dark Blood, the researcher regained a bit of enthusiasm, and said excitedly: "These main guns will be installed according to the combat situation, and the module replacement only takes half a day to a day in the dock; Next is the secondary gun."

"Because the magnetic field engine is installed, there is available space in the front, rear, left, and right sides of the hull, so the installation of the secondary battery is similar to the hedgehog-like defense model that the dark blood elder thought. There are six secondary battery turrets on the upper and lower sides, and two secondary battery turrets on the front and rear. , the entire battleship has 16 secondary battery turrets, among which the optional turrets are:

50mm单管电磁炮炮塔，3吨重，1—2人操作；20mm双管电磁炮炮塔，0.6吨重，1—2人操作；10mm六管连射枪炮塔，0.7吨重，1—2人操作。

However, because the Weapons Bureau is researching burst weapons, many of the above-mentioned turrets may be eliminated, and the operator can be further reduced, but the tonnage will definitely increase.However, these weapons alone are enough to make these warships a fortress in the sky.It can be said: Once this battleship is launched, we will no longer be invincible in Shuangyuexing, even epic creatures are useless! "

Invincible?

Shuangyuexing may be, but our enemy is not the existence of Shuangyuexing.

Kong Huan looked at the excited researcher in front of him, and didn't want to discourage the other party's enthusiasm, not to mention that this design is already very good in terms of Pengzu's technology at this time.

It's just that time waits for me!

"So, what about mobility?"

At this time, the best way is to change the topic, not to mention that mobility is related to the survivability of warships such as friends in the face of bug attacks.What Konghuan hopes is that when the bugs attack the warships of the friends, the battleships of the friends can float a lot of 'MISS'; '-NNN'.

And through the previous discussions with those technicians, Unreal has been able to confirm that future warships and even civilian ships will probably use magnetic field engines.As for the specific performance of the magnetic field engine, especially the performance equipped on a battleship, it remains to be further studied.

"The magnetic field engine we are designing is of the same type as the one used in the current test swordfish, but the output power is increased. Its self-weight reaches 517 tons, including several parts such as the magnetic field shell and the energy core."

"Covering all areas of the hull except for the turret and portholes, it can provide a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour for this class of warships. Among them: the forward speed (spaceship forward and backward) can reach 100 kilometers; and the lateral speed (left and right Lateral movement) can reach 40 kilometers; the lifting speed (up and down lateral movement) can reach 70 kilometers because of the assistance of pumice stones.”

"The overall rotation speed (rotation with the middle of the hull as the origin) is extremely flexible, 360 degrees per minute is not a problem; the speed of the hull rotation (with the horizontal axis of the hull as the rotation axis) can also reach 10 degrees per second. Of course, This is all without regard to the capacity of the crew."

From this point of view, except for the speed of traveling, other aspects of mobility should be good.Moreover, the engine modification discussed with those technicians before is just an additional mechanism for popular use, which has no effect on the engine itself, so even if it is done, it will not cause problems to the performance of the battleship.Sora thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"So, it's mid-January 44, when will the first battleship come out?"

"This...should be possible in May or June of '46."

"is it?"

(It seems a bit long), Kong Huan raised his head and looked out the window, the celestial phenomenon that day has been determined to be the plasma cannonball launched by the enemy into the universe, but at this time the universe has no bugs at all, and its purpose is obvious.At this time, the bugs in space are probably preparing to attack, and the friends still have that time?Does Double Moon Star still have that time?
(It seems that the design of other weapons also needs to be paid attention to, even...)
Kong Huan turned his head to look at Anxue, and the other party nodded towards Kong Huan as if feeling something in his heart.
