Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 358 The anti-aircraft weapons of the Sea Soul Mothership

While Nevada and others were building their temporary huts, Huang Jiang was taking Lexington, Bismarck and Wales to listen to the long speech of Dr. Brand, the main person in charge, in the weapons testing facility that was about to be moved away from Wutou Island.

"There have been coastal defense guns in the history of the Federation." Brand expressed his doubts after listening to Huang Jiang's description, "But they were mainly used to deal with large fleets in other territories, that kind of shore guns The caliber is very amazing, 460mm is common, but while increasing the firepower, it also makes them lose their flexibility. At that time, there were no electric or steam-driven devices like now, and the rotation of the muzzle required manpower and machinery. Auxiliary.”

Brand put away the weapon blueprints on his desk.He is a senior artillery expert, but it is a pity that in the current situation of the Federation, there is no need for artillery or other weapons at all, because human technology has not yet reached the ability to accurately target and hit the high-speed mobile mirage on the sea, not to mention Armor-piercing ability.

At the beginning of the mirage, people tragically discovered that the high-firepower shore guns they were once proud of completely lost their defensive role. In the face of the high-speed mirage, they were not even as good as the simplest barrage game. If it hits, the firepower is useless.The defensive weapon that shone brightly during human wars became the first type of weapon to be eliminated in the war with the foreign enemy Mirage.

Even Brand, who is proficient in firearms, does not have strong pessimism in the face of such cumbersome weapons.Before being dragged to Jialan by his old friend Thors, his major had been reduced to his hobby. Before accepting the weapons testing facility in Huangjiang, Brand had even been reduced to a nightclub janitor, only working in his spare time. I bought some firearms to comfort myself.

When he was absorbed by Huang Jiang, he was already an old man over sixty years old.

Huang Jiang did not despise him at all because of his gray hair. After all, in this era when human weapons are seriously lagging behind, people like Brand who still insist on making high-destructive and high-precision weapons are very rare. Most of them Weapons developers either changed careers, and those who stayed in the industry gradually became manufacturers of toys for the nobles. They invented a large number of firearms and artillery to supply the hunting needs of the nobles.

Every shotgun of the nobles is specially customized. This is not a joke in the Blue Federation. Most weapon developers can only rely on this method to make a living.

In the era when human beings are united to the outside world, the guns used to kill people have lost their meaning. Even if [-] bullets are fired, they will not be able to hurt the hairs of the mirage. This is the sorrow of Brand and the developers of the last generation of lethal weapons. , they were abandoned by the times.

Now, with the Mirage Trouble, killing people is meaningless.

"However, the opponents that the coastal defense artillery faced at that time were also warships whose steam thrust had just started. They did not need too much accuracy. These ships couldn't run very fast anyway." Brand chuckled and drew himself at will. The drawings were all put away.

Weapons testing laboratory, as the name suggests, is a place where weapons are tested.Now mankind's own weapons have withered, and the artillery developed by the previous generation has also declared a complete failure on the battlefield against the mirage, so this weapon experiment is definitely not a weapon used to experiment on humans.

Brand's main job is to fill in the results form of gunnery practice for the ship girls.

In addition, Huang Jiang finally assigned him formal research and development work. He wanted to equip the new generation of Sea Soul Carrier with a set of anti-aircraft guns to deal with the aviation attacks of the "Flying Fish". As a supply unit, the Sea Spirit Soul Motherships generally do not appear on frontal battlefields, and are unlikely to be attacked by mirage fire fleets. The biggest threat still comes from the air.

After wandering around for a while, Huang Jiang finally got down to business.

"Anti-aircraft artillery?" Brand frowned, "Are you going to use this special attack method against Miss Lexington and the others?"

"Yes." Huang Jiang did not hide it. "There are also mirages with similar attack capabilities. The mothership is the most important strategic weapon. I don't want it to become a sandbag on the sea. It is necessary to have certain defensive capabilities."

Brand took a few steps forward, then looked back, with a long-lost sense of discussion on his face: "I have studied Miss Lexington's carrier-based aircraft, and I think they can be enlarged into manned aircraft. Weapons, as for the anti-aircraft guns, I think they are the weapons used by other Miss Sea Soul to face the air raids of Miss Lexington and Miss Saratoga during the exercise, right?" "Yes." Huang Jiang nodded.

"In terms of rate of fire..." Brand thought for a while, then got into the garbage pile nearby, rummaged for a long time, and pulled out a heavy machine gun.

"Fuck, Maxim." Huang Jiang's eyes widened.

Brand patted his favorite achievement with some pride: "This is a gun I developed while working as a security guard based on the purpose of killing as many enemies as possible when facing a large-scale charging sea of ​​people. Its biggest flaw is It’s just that the barrel is prone to overheating, so I used a water-cooling structure.”

As he said that, he took out another gun: "Of course, there is also an air-cooled form. It's just that they fire fast, but the bullets don't have much lethality against the mirage."

"Fortunately, this is not a period of human civil war." Bismarck glanced at Brand deeply, "Otherwise, with this invention, you... would be enough to go to hell."

"I know." Brand smiled shyly, "If that happens, it will end the knight war that the nobles are proud of. Death will become an unknown flower on the battlefield, and fear will be everywhere. Hovering. Thors once said that, he quite likes this gun, and it may be a man's romance. Oh, by the way, the romance he is talking about is not this, but this."

With that said, Brand took out another gun from his trash.

"Fuck...Gatlin." Huang Jiang said subconsciously.

"To deal with high-speed aircraft, the most reasonable way is to use high-speed artillery." Brand finally said the main point, "High-speed shooting causes the barrel to overheat, so special materials are needed."

"In terms of materials, you can rest assured that Jiagang's materials laboratory can directly connect with you." Huang Jiang said.

"Okay." Brand nodded, and then continued, "Then the problem is the cannonball. To deal with such a high-speed target, it is difficult to hit accurately even if fired at high speed, so what should be needed is the Are there artillery shells that can trigger a fuse explosion in the air without hitting the target? I have observed the exercises of the Sea Soul ladies before, and the artillery shells they use when dealing with aircraft are these special artillery shells, right?"

"If I can send a few samples over." Although Bismarck and Wales may not have it, I don't know if Fubuki and the others have Type III bombs, but even if there is Huangjiang, they may not necessarily choose it. What if they accidentally blow themselves up? .

As for VT fuse bombs, I don’t know if Colorado and the others have them. Although they are all low-speed ships, they have been modified. Most of them have suffered from air attacks. After the modification, they must have strengthened their air defense capabilities, but they are not Do you know if you are equipped with VT lead bombs?

But the only doubt now is that Brand can understand the technology of VT fuse bombs.

Brand didn't notice Huang Jiang's doubts at all, and instead talked about his own thoughts: "I've been very interested in radio recently. I don't know if I can use this form of induction as a lead starting mechanism. This delayed explosion effect.”
