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

"No discomfort, right?"

“Better than ever.”

"That's fine. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow is up to you. The resources are ready."

"Okay, Admiral."

On October 123, rd year of the Azure Calendar, in the new dock, the battleships of Yukikaze and Saratoga had already entered the dock early.

Elizabeth took into consideration that Vian's warships were relatively large, so this dock was of the highest standards.

"let's start."

Clemenceau, who was fully prepared, took his final battleship blueprint from Vian.

Compared to the first time the snow wind materialized, this time everyone brought their own stools and were ready for a protracted battle.

Because the amount of resources is so huge, this time the resources were obtained by several ship girls working together.

When Saratoga learned that all these resources were going to be used by Clemenceau, her jaw dropped.

The resources manifested by a battleship are more than six times hers!

Although they are both warships, the cost of building other warships is six times that of hers. She dare not imagine what such warships will become.

Clemenceau communicated with the phantom inside his mind core, trying to bring it down from another space.

But in the process she completely erased the data.

Chapter 119: Clemenceau's Manifestation

The battleship that was about to become a solid entity suddenly turned into bubbles in the sky.

At the same time, Clemenceau took out his battleship blueprint and sketched it out in his mind stroke by stroke.

At the same time, the massive resources that have been laid out around her are also rapidly shrinking.

Some blue lights began to appear around her and slowly turned into frames.

When he materialized Yukikaze, he was afraid of some accidents, so his ship plans were relatively conservative.

With the accumulation of experience, Vian became obviously much more aggressive on Clemenceau's battleship.

On a battleship that is 270 meters long, 31 meters wide and has a draft of 10 meters, all ammunition and fuel are generated in a timely manner.

Clemenceau's displacement can reach 55000 tons.

This was after Wei'an had reduced all unnecessary living space.

Compared to Yukikaze's close-range assassin-like combat, Clemenceau is the long-range fire support under the aircraft carrier.

The Yukikaze has a hole for the vertical launch system, and the Clemenceau also has one, but it is more extreme than the Yukikaze's.

There was even an idea to equip Yukikaze and other destroyers with rockets, but not Clemenceau.

The deck of her battleship was filled with densely packed holes.

He even tried his best to reduce the superstructure and bridge. The ship girls were his eyes, and he tried to reserve more space.

Originally, the Clemenceau battleship used high-tech steel, and even with most of the space left, it could reach a displacement of 55000 tons.

This shows how much Vian invested in the protection of the Clemenceau battleship.

Vian dares to say that among the ordinary ship girls, there is no one more stubborn than Clemenceau.

Removable steel plates on the upper deck cover the holes underneath.

While Yukikaze still had square launching units, Clemenceau had them arranged in sequence from the edge of the deck, from the front deck to the rear deck, with densely packed holes in the parts not blocked by the turret's deflection.

Xuefeng and Clemenceau both knew that Vian was preparing for a special weapon, so they didn't think much about it and just followed the order.

Even when Clemenceau materialized, she felt terrified because there were too many holes on her deck!

If she was not mistaken, including the holes on both sides of the deck, there were a total of 256 holes on her battleship.

This is twice as many as the 128 pits on Xuefeng's body.

You can see how extreme Vian's efforts were on Clemenceau's hull.

In addition to these 256 pits, Vian also equipped her with three quadruple 3mm main guns, and there is still room for upgrades, enough to upgrade to 381mm main guns.

To support such crazy changes.

Vian made full use of the upper deck of Clemenceau, leaving no extra space for installing other equipment, except for the fixed number of secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns.

The number cannot be changed in the later stage, and you can only upgrade more powerful ship equipment at the original position.

As a result, Clemenceau had no space to install torpedoes, and this was where she made sacrifices.

Although it is not perfect now, there is hope for the future.

Especially now that Wei'an has developed the fire control radar, the hit rate of their artillery fire has also been improved.

With a 381mm gun, Clemenceau's long-range output is already considerable, and there are basically no situations where torpedoes can be used.

Even if there was, it was not Clemenceau's turn to solve it.

What she needs to face is of course the opponent's flagship, using 256 missiles to launch an attack that is more saturated than rockets.

Baptism takes place from top to bottom.

Clemenceau and Xuefeng both knew how much Vian valued secret weapons, and they also understood why Vian reserved so many locations for Clemenceau to install weapons.

What kind of confidence is this? Confidence in weapons.

With the help of the battleship elf, the slender battleship with the same prismatic style as Xuefeng was successfully settled in the dock.

If Saratoga were to be described, it would be an enlarged version of Yukikaze. The battleship's personal style is too obvious.

But Clemenceau hasn't stopped yet!

She began to communicate the data of her core internal ship equipment.

Three murderous main guns gradually appeared on the deck of Clemenceau.

The main guns of battleships like Richelieu are more limited than this powerful large main gun.

In response to this, Clemenceau gradually stopped his manifestation actions, and more than half of the resources under the dock had now been consumed.

The most terrifying thing is the consumption of steel.

Almost three-fifths of it disappeared.

Before Clemenceau's warship materialized, the largest ship in the dock was Saratoga. Now, compared with Clemenceau, she found that she was still a little small.

Although the length of the battleships is the same, Clemenceau looks more murderous overall.

After collecting the unused resources into the ship's space, Clemenceau came to Vian's side.

Vian could see Clemenceau's uncontrollable smile.

"Admiral, the basic materialization has been completed. What should we do next?"

In response, Vian handed Clemenceau the ship equipment he had prepared in advance.

There are a total of 28 ship installations.

There were so many that Wei An had to put them in a small box. They were all made before Xuefeng and the others came back.

However, this also drained away his last 1.5 watts of energy.

Along the way, Saratoga wanted to see what it was, but Vian chose to keep it mysterious.

When Clemenceau opened it, he found that there were unexpectedly many ship equipment inside.

There are colorful ones, gold ones, and purple ones.

Especially that touch of colorful light and shadow immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Go ahead, it's all materialized. This is the power system I made specifically for you."

In order to ensure future growth potential, Vian chose the same all-electric propulsion system for Clemenceau as Xuefeng.

The new power system allows Clemenceau to run easily at 38 knots, but 40 knots may put Clemenceau under some pressure.

But if you want to exceed 42 knots, it's no problem.

It is faster than Yukikaze, bigger than Yukikaze, faster than Yukikaze, and has more powerful firepower than Yukikaze. It is a true battleship.

Therefore, the power system ship equipment successfully reached the color standard and was also the first color ship equipment developed independently by Wei'an.

Clemenceau obediently absorbed all the ship equipment into his mind core at once, and at the same time began to materialize these ship equipment one by one.

The first is the power system made by Vian, followed by two radars.

The power system was not visible inside the ship, but after the radar was activated, it immediately emerged from the superstructure of the Clemenceau battleship.

It is in stark contrast to other warships.

Then there is the improved sonar installed at the predetermined location, on the bulbous bow.

Chapter 120 Clemenceau's Hull

Finally, Clemenceau chose to materialize the remaining 24 one by one.

Because these ships are equipped with secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns installed on the deck of Clemenceau.

14 secondary guns stand neatly on both sides of the central axis of the Clemenceau superstructure.

There are four anti-aircraft guns distributed on the front and rear decks, and the remaining six are all near the command room.

After all, the most dangerous person in the entire battleship is security. The ship girl will not die as long as the battleship sinks, but if it is hit by planes and artillery shells from above, it is hard to say what will happen to security.

So six anti-aircraft guns stood on both sides of the superstructure where the command room was located to protect it.

There are 128 twin 28mm secondary guns in total, and 40 anti-aircraft guns.

Now that most of the ship girls' carrier-based aircraft are still propeller planes, they can already form a very good anti-aircraft firepower.

Even Saratoga was surprised by the anti-aircraft guns on the battleship Clemenceau.

She felt that Vian was too cruel. She had never seen any other battleship girl like Clemenceau, who was like a hedgehog.

The entire deck was covered with gun barrels.

Even Xuefeng was a little envious of Clemenceau's firepower.

Compared to the limited upper space of her warship, Clemenceau's broad hull could obviously accommodate more things.

In particular, the 381mm main gun of Clemenceau was what she coveted the most.

Only after the manifestation, Clemenceau returned to Vian with doubts.

"Admiral, I feel like there are a few empty positions for the secondary guns."

After Clemenceau finished speaking, several people discovered that the two T-shaped secondary gun installation positions on the front and rear decks were obviously a bit empty.

"Because your secondary guns can be upgraded, I later decided to install a 152mm main gun for you."

"You should have a total of 8 128mm secondary guns on both sides of the battleship, and 6 152mm secondary guns on the front and rear decks."

"It's a pity that Xuefeng and the others didn't find a suitable main gun this time."

This was also a plan that Wei An had conceived before. In Wei An's memory, the light cruiser gun also had a dual-purpose main gun.

Moreover, it is a color gun, which is more powerful than the existing 128mm gun, has a faster rate of fire, and is a triple-mounted gun.

The only drawback is that it is relatively heavy, which is why Clemenceau’s speed can now be stabilized at 42 knots.

This gun was the one originally planned for the Worcester-class cruiser, but was shelved because it was too heavy.

Too heavy for a light cruiser, but just right for Clemenceau.

If Clemenceau upgrades the main gun and secondary guns and adds a vertical launch system.

Clemenceau's displacement must be increased to at least 6 tons, and then Clemenceau's speed will drop a little.

But Wei An believes that by then he will have completed the research and development of the new power system.

"Commander, are you saying that the 128mm secondary guns are not enough now?"

Saratoga, who had already accepted the reality of becoming a security ship girl, said in surprise.

Saratoga was already very surprised by Clemenceau's powerful firepower, and now Vian told her that it could be upgraded.

"People always want better things. If conditions permit, they will definitely want better equipment. If you are stronger, I will be safer."

"By the way, Clemenceau, how many resources are left?"
