Ship transformation, the admiral goes to the military police to repent

[So we need to hurry up. At least after Clemenceau finishes materializing the hull, we should immediately arrange Lexington's hull and start assigning her bodyguards.]

[These little bodyguards will also be the main force for distributing and selling ship equipment in the future. ]

So Wei An now needs ship girls, and what he needs is a group of elementary school students!

Moreover, his elementary school students are different from other people’s elementary school students.

They can also carry the ship equipment that Yukikaze can carry, and their hulls can be directly matched with Yukikaze, and the armor can be slightly weakened.

After all, when Yukikaze materialized the hull, he was the only battleship with Yukikaze, and his safety needed to be protected, so he thought of making the armor thicker.

Every time a ship manifests, it is the steel that troubles Vian, whether it is Yukikaze or Clemenceau.

If the steel used in the hulls of other warships is taken into account, Yukikaze's displacement of more than 1 tons would only require more than 1 tons of steel, and Clemenceau would only require 5 to 6 tons at most.

If he gave up on materializing Clemenceau's hull, he could materialize 10 destroyers on the spot with their armor weakened according to Yukikaze's ship equipment standards.

He has the ability to make dumplings.

--------------

Let me explain here in case some readers skip ahead. The protagonists, Yukikaze and Clemenceau, both used special materials according to the highest standards for ship hulls, so the consumption of steel is quite terrifying. One battleship is equivalent to the consumption of five battleships.

However, it is still useful when facing the old grandmother ship in World War II that cannot fight beyond visual range, and there are also reasons for the protagonist to consider himself.

But if he is willing to give up the defensive capabilities of the ship girls, he can also make dumplings. As for how much the defensive capabilities are, it should be compared with the defensive capabilities of the corresponding types of ships.

Chapter 111 Clemenceau's Power Improvement Plan

This time, Lexington and her friends' long journey also made Vian discover some inconveniences.

This world only has wired communication methods, so communication is only possible on the mainland.

Now that Xuefeng and the others are at sea he can only worry.

So Wei'an, who was used to wireless communication in his previous life, felt a little nostalgic.

But now there are other more important projects, so we have to put the research and development of radio on hold for the time being.

Time passed slowly, and after learning about the navy's situation, Wei An felt worried about Xuefeng and the others every day.

For this reason, he would go to see Elizabeth every day to find out if there was any news about Xuefeng and the others.

At the same time, the energy in his hands was being consumed rapidly.

Clemenceau's other ship equipment was already available, but the plan to improve the power was still ongoing.

The pressure from the navy and the worry about his own ship girls made Wei An work very hard every day.

Apart from visiting Elizabeth after class, he would immediately lock himself back in the dormitory.

It was Clemenceau who spoke to Shropshire every day when Shropshire wanted to find him.

Wei An, on the other hand, was at his own seat, painting and revising, and even pulled out a lot of his hair.

The whole person looked much more haggard.

He didn't expect that with the experience in researching the Xuefeng power system, he would still spend 2 energy on the research of power.

It is simple to make the ship run, but the difficult part for Wei'an is to cram enough power into the limited space of the ship while ensuring the use of other space.

However, the terrifying speed of the deep sea also forced him to keep up, otherwise he would have no advantage in the battleship duel.

Even if we cannot maintain the advantage, at least we must ensure that our speed is not at a disadvantage.

His conservative estimate of 35 knots was no longer safe after learning more about the deep sea.

The reason why he lost his hair was that he wanted this 5-ton battleship to run at a speed of 40 knots.

For the initial 35 sections of the target Vian has been developed in the process of hair loss.

Directly named [Heavy Duty Improved Power System Type 1]

[The speed of a warship is limited not only by its power but also by its type. ]

As a ship designer in his previous life, ship design was not a difficult task for Wei'an.

So the only thing that bothers Wei'an is motivation.

After all, the power requirement has doubled from 35 knots to 40 knots.

Or it is to improve the efficiency of the thrusters. Increasing the power while improving the efficiency of the thrusters can also allow Wei'an to achieve his goals.

Today's warships still use propeller propulsion, and larger ships are wider and can accommodate more propellers.

Provides greater thrust.

For this reason, Wei'an turned his attention to another way of advancement.

Water jet propulsion.

The advantages are obvious. In high-maneuverability situations, the efficiency is higher than that of propellers, the power demand is less, and it can run faster.

The disadvantages are also obvious, it takes up space and consumes a lot of fuel.

And it is necessary to prevent the propeller from being rolled into debris, so it is more suitable for use in shallow water areas.

But the warships used now are not traditional warships.

The ship girl has a battleship elf that can help her clean the debris on the propeller in time.

In terms of space occupied, except for the rest cabin and command room used for security, the rest of the space is used to serve the performance of the warship, and the utilization rate is not comparable to that of traditional warships.

As for the issue of high fuel consumption.

When Xuefeng comes back, Wei'an will also have to prepare to install a new torpedo loading system for Xuefeng. The problem of high resource consumption will no longer be a problem for Wei'an.

One more is not too much. Compared with the high consumption of resources, it is better to think about it when you can't beat others, then you are risking your life.

Moreover, after winning the deep-sea battle, the resources salvaged can at least guarantee the consumption of several ships.

As for fighting the navy, wouldn't that be even simpler?

If you want to survive, you have to exchange resources for it.

And Wei'an has an even more terrifying efficiency in making money.

In the past, equipment was restricted by construction costs and technical difficulties, but it is much simpler here in Wei'an.

The construction cost of the ship girl also consumes four special resources, which are not very difficult for security to obtain, and maintenance can be solved by taking a bath.

As long as Wei'an can understand the principles of technical difficulties, the rest can be left to talent and to the realization of the ship equipment by the ship girl.

Consumption cost, the ship girl's shells are generated by timely consuming resources, and so is the fuel, which avoids the possibility of many dangers.

Normally, when the ship girls replenish their resources, they also store these resources in the battleship.

It can be said that a palm-sized tank of fuel can be equivalent to 1 ton of fuel, and a battleship as big as this can store a huge amount of fuel.

Even after learning more about the magic of KanColle, Vian discovered that the upper limit of nuclear power might be even higher.

The commonplace about nuclear-powered warships is that maintenance of warships is more troublesome than that of conventionally powered ones.

The ship girl can solve it easily.

Unlimited endurance reduces the number of resupply times.

The ship girl can use ammunition resources to convert them into various different shells, torpedoes, weapons, etc.

Wei'an also wanted to know that if the warship was equipped with nuclear power, would the resource that needed to be replenished still be fuel?

After all, the advantage of nuclear power over conventional power is that nuclear power fuel saves more space than conventional power.

If the ship uses the same resources of one unit, then is the resource utility of more units higher than that of conventional power?

Provides more energy?

He now understands that he can't think too much about nuclear-powered security. It was very difficult for him to make a radar.

He also understood that even with the current nuclear power technology, it would be difficult to accomplish his goal, so Wei An interrupted his divergent thinking.

Let’s get back to our work on the power system.

Then Clemenceau, who was chatting with Shropshire, saw his admiral take out his battleship design drawings.

Then draft a new drawing and start painting.

But Vian's current concentration allowed her to suppress her inner curiosity, and she also understood Vian's expectations and high demands for his warship.

That's why I'm so tired during this period.

Clemenceau's sudden turn of head also attracted Shropshire's attention, and she also noticed what Vian was busy with.

After all, battleship drawings need to be drawn in great detail, so they are generally quite large.

But she did not ask more questions, as it was someone else's secret. However, with her understanding of the Snow Wind battleship, she was also full of expectations for the future ship that Clemenceau would materialize.

After all, they still have a battle to fight.

At the same time, she also understood why Wei An was so tired these days.

[So, the navy's affairs have made you a little impatient? ]

But Vian's attitude made Shropshire accept him even more.

Chapter 112: The Return of Yukikaze and Lexington

She had seen too many admirals working with ship girls, and there were very few admirals like him who were enterprising and considered the ship girls.

Although there are admirals who help with the transformation of the ship girls, the number is still too small when taken into account.

Most admirals still prefer to stay in the rear as a parasite and enjoy the shameless life with the ship girls.

This was also their original intention for entering the Admiral Academy, although it was not very good either.

But compared to the navy next door who treats ship girls as weapons, they at least care about the ship girls and will make them happy.

To bring them joy and smiles, the ship girls are willing to give their lives for them.

You love me.

Therefore, Wei An likes ship girls and their enterprising spirit. She even modifies her own ship girl drawings herself, which seems very attractive to her.

For example, the admiral who is a parasite basically asks the ship girl to manifest the initial data of his own warship, and rarely makes any modifications.

Battleships have too much unused space, in their opinion.

Some ship girls who are not particularly close to these admirals may regret breaking their contracts with them later and then reluctantly transform their own ships.

The example before her was Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's hull was only materialized after she met Mother Vian, although Mother Vian had tried her best to help her modify it.

However, considering that Elizabeth's mental endurance limit is still relatively conservative, the improvement in combat power is not much.

So after the incident at the Whale Sea Garrison, she transformed herself, and went completely to her limit.

The space inside his battleship was compressed to the limit, and the power was also greatly increased.

This was also her biggest worry before. Compared with other ship girls in the naval base, her speed was the slowest.

Wei'an, who was concentrating on modifying the blueprint, had no idea that the two ship girls were watching his every move.

He is now making major changes to the ship's structure.

The bottom of the boat would have required extensive modifications to use a water jet, so he chose to repaint it.

In fact, when choosing a water jet propulsion system, he also had another option: a superconducting magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system.

However, in Wei'an's previous life, this technology was still in the theoretical experimental stage, a technology that used electromagnetic force for propulsion.

Theoretically, the submarine can reach a speed of 150 knots. Even if it cannot be developed perfectly, as long as this technology can be developed through talent.

The upper limit of his battleships can be increased a lot.

Moreover, superconducting magnetohydrodynamic thrusters are also a big power consumer, which is more in line with his original intention of installing all-electric propulsion.

And the most important thing is that it requires superconducting technology. Wei An knew that it was another bottomless pit of research and development.

Many wonderful technologies are waiting for him ahead, but they require his brain cells, time, and more importantly, the little money in his bag.

October arrives quietly.

It has been two months since Xuefeng and the others officially left, and today Vian finally received news about Xuefeng and Lexington.

They entered the inland sea safely and are returning safely under the guidance of the academy ship girl.

This finally made him feel at ease.
