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

He has confirmed the title of brother-in-law, doesn't that mean Saratoga has been promoted to sister-in-law?

The sea breeze on the beach path blew on them, and their casual navy uniforms became a beautiful sight.

Against the backdrop of their slow pace was a flat-deck warship on the sea, the battleship belonging to Saratoga.

Ever since she knew that she was going to give Lexington a physical body, Saratoga had been asking to be in the same dock as Lexington.

After all, she can't live without her sister, and her battleship must accompany her sister every day.

And she was also the one who helped Lexington materialize its hull this time, so Vian of course chose to satisfy her.

He skillfully opened the dock door and welcomed the battleship Saratoga in.

He also had to start the most important thing of the day.

Lexington's hull materializes.

No matter how the plan changes, the realization of the Lexington's hull is the top priority, not to mention after knowing that there is a strong competitor this time.

This further emphasizes the importance of the Lexington's hull embodiment.

When faced with a large number of such large gunboats, it would be a waste of time to fight against them.

At the same time, Wei An also had a question in his mind that he wanted to verify.

"Are you ready?"

Wei An asked as usual.

"No problem. I've watched them materialize so many times."

"Then let's get started."

Vian handed the drawings he had prepared to Lexington, and the two sisters began to transfer resources to the dock.

In order to prevent sneak attacks from underwater villains, Wei'an specially thickened the armor on the underwater part of the aircraft carrier.

From the beginning of his design, he never worried about the issue of air supremacy.

The current Lexington's hangar capacity alone is equivalent to that of 2-4 other aircraft carriers.

This still cannot guarantee stable air superiority, and he can bury himself.

What limits Lexington more is her mind and whether it can handle such a large carrier load.

However, this number will also decrease as Vian develops more powerful carrier-based aircraft.

The larger the ship, the more equipment it will have inside.

Even if Wei'an only strengthened the armor of some core areas, the consumption would stabilize at twice the normal consumption.

The construction of Lexington's hull frame consumed 11W of steel resources, which is cheaper than other warships.

But even so, the Lexington has better armor protection than other normal aircraft carriers.

Looking at her ship, which was smaller than Lexington, Saratoga still had some envy in her eyes.

If she had never seen the light she might have been content.

Chapter 156 Lexington's Hull Manifestation (2)

But now she had met a commander.

He prefers aircraft carriers to battleships, and is more willing to believe in the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers. He also trains them as the core of the fleet.

He must be the admiral that all of them, the aircraft carrier girls, dream of having, not to mention his ability to make the aircraft carrier even more powerful.

She couldn't even imagine how powerful Lexington would become in the future.

The completed frame was just a lump of iron. Next, Lexington began to construct the interior of the battleship according to the requirements on the drawings.

Make the details as perfect as possible.

At the same time, Wei An began to take out his own pocket.

Take out the ship equipment that has already been made.

Radar, power, sonar, and carrier-based aircraft security are not manufactured now.

One ship-mounted aircraft carrier is needed for 15 carrier-based aircraft. If Lexington can carry up to 220 aircraft, at least 30 ship-mounted aircraft carriers are needed.

Fighters and bombers each require 15, which requires 6W of energy.

If converted into Azure Coins, it would cost 600W, and this is when he produces it at the lowest cost, not to mention the cost other admirals need to spend to arm an aircraft carrier.

Moreover, the ship's equipment cannot guarantee that it is equipped with relatively powerful carrier-based aircraft like Lexington.

The more Lexington materialized, the more he discovered what was hidden inside her hull.

Because her hull is larger than other ship girls, Vian also hid something inside her hull.

Section of the forward deck of the Lexington.

A large amount of space was reserved below the deck, which she was now gradually filling with resources.

As a ship designer who likes small people in the sky.

The more he knows and understands about aircraft carriers, the more knowledge he has.

He doesn't have to think about manufacturing the electromagnetic catapult now, but the next replacement for Lexington's carrier-based aircraft may not be propeller aircraft.

At that time, more advanced catapults will be needed.

Although he thought about making the catapult into a ship's equipment, he gave up in the end.

The catapult requires modification of the ship's hull, so he directly drew all the detailed information on the drawing.

It is directly materialized when Lexington materializes.

So now Lexington could feel that her flight deck was not a complete whole.

There are several decks that can be raised and lowered, four in total.

There are two decks on the bow and two flight decks on the sides.

Lexington couldn't figure out the function of these decks, and Vian didn't tell them what they were.

Because that was not a jet deflector prepared for the current situation at all, in order to prevent other equipment on the deck from being burned by the aircraft's tail flame, or to prevent Vian himself from being burned.

After all, the takeoff of carrier-based aircraft is also controlled by Lexington and the others.

Corresponding to this are four special devices that are hundreds of meters long.

This is also the part where Wei An had the most trouble designing the aircraft carrier, just like his research and development of the ship's equipment.

He had no way to deal with the electromagnetic catapult, but he could still handle the inferior steam catapult.

At the same time, it is also a preparation for the future improvement of Lexington's power system. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by boiling water can be utilized, and there is no need to use extra hulls for steam as it is now.

In order to facilitate future use, it is necessary to avoid the need to modify the hull and deck separately at that time.

In other places, Wei'an converted most of the cabins that were no longer in use into hangars and arranged them for the power compartment.

At the same time, Vian did not forget to reserve the same vertical launch system as Clemenceau and the others on the aircraft carrier, but it was used as a different offensive weapon than theirs.

The reason why Vian arranged vertical launch for Lexington was to prevent the villain's underwater torpedoes.

More of a defensive nature.

Therefore, only 16 launch units were reserved and installed on the deck behind the island.

So she took the remaining ship equipment from Wei'an and used them one by one and materialized them.

This marks the completion of today's mission.

At the same time, Lexington's displacement reached 6W.

Steel consumed 12W, oil 1000, ammunition 1000, and aluminum none.

The power system uses the same power system as Clemenceau.

Because the space inside the Lexington's hull was more ample than that of the Clemenceau, he gave the Lexington two powerful engines to form the battleship.

The several ship equipments together cost Vian 7000 energy.

Vian was not relieved that Lexington was saving him resources.

After all, the most expensive part is the carrier-based aircraft. The resources that need to be consumed are not just steel, but also aluminum and tens of thousands of kilowatts of energy.

He would have invested even more resources in Lexington than Clemenceau.

Looking at his current ship, Lexington's eyes were filled with joy.

She really liked the hull that Vian designed for her.

No matter how you imagine it on paper, it won’t be as spectacular as when it’s actually in reality.

Although the deck was still empty, she had no doubt about the performance of the battleship.

In particular, she could feel the powerful power inside the ship. It was equipped with the same power system as Clemenceau, but with double the power.

Although the speed cannot be doubled, it is no problem to push this 6-ton warship to easily pass 40 knots, and she even feels it is easy to continue to increase it.

As for how far she can reach, she hasn't made the specific voyage yet and doesn't have an accurate result.

After all, as an aircraft carrier, the hull is larger.

The longer the waterline of the ship, the further the power requirements will be reduced.

The same water jet propulsion is more efficient at high speeds.

All in all, the Lexington can only run faster than Clemenceau, even if the Lexington reaches 8 tons or even 10 tons.

As for why Wei'an made such arrangements.

His modified warships can run at more than 40 knots. As the core of the fleet, the aircraft carrier will certainly not be a drag.

The maximum speed of a fleet is determined by the slowest warship. Currently, the maximum speed of his warship is 31.5 knots.

Shropshire Speed.

Moreover, now that Lexington and her team are still using propeller planes, they can run faster, and it will be easier for them to launch carrier-based aircraft against the wind.

Without using catapult takeoff, the lift that can be obtained by taking off against the wind will be stronger for the same rolling distance, and the faster you run against the wind, the stronger the lift will be.

"So handsome!"

Saratoga stood on her deck and sighed as she looked at the hull of Lexington.

She didn't have such feelings when she materialized Clemenceau, after all, Clemenceau was a gunboat.

Now that an aircraft carrier like hers has been materialized after being modified by Wei'an, she really feels the gap.

A more handsome appearance, more powerful carrier-based aircraft, more usable space, and performance that is more powerful than hers.

Still writing, still writing. Can’t wait to read it tomorrow morning.

Chapter 157 Lexington Calms Down

What followed was an intense feeling of happiness.

She could finally fight alongside her sister.

He simply took the unused resources back into the ship's space and lowered the ladder on Lexington's own battleship.

Vian and the impatient Saratoga were welcomed up.

"Ma'am, how do you feel?"

Wei An, having let go of his burden, spoke out what was on his mind very naturally.

But I underestimated the destructive power of this sentence.

"Ah, ah! I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Commander."

Lexington hadn't expected Vian to suddenly call her that, especially in front of Saratoga.

It caught her off guard.

So he could only quickly observe his sister's reaction, and found that there was no special change in her. After letting go of the tension in his heart, he stuttered and answered.

As for why Saratoga didn't respond?

She thinks Vian is her brother-in-law, so isn't it reasonable for Lexington to be called Madam?

"What's wrong? Are you still not used to it?"
