A certain scientific pirate

"Mr. Espagu, your work efficiency is really amazing. I didn't expect to complete the hull construction so quickly and have started to install the armament system."

Mo Fei sighed as he moved to the shipyard. At this time, he was accompanied by a group of sailors headed by Avril. They were all guys interested in new ships. In contrast, here in the Capital of Seven Waters, Then there is only Espagu.

"There is no doubt about Carrera's strength. Of course, building a brand new warship is also a challenge for us." As a Party B who has fully fulfilled Party A's requirements, Espagu's steps are steady and powerful, and his voice is calm. With a hint of confidence, "And compared to technical problems, we faced more psychological pressure during the construction process...According to the paper data of the new battleship, when it is completed, After that, there will basically be no other ships on the sea that can compete with it.”

"This is an iteration of weapons born out of technological progress. If it is used to deal with pirates, shouldn't it be a good thing?" Mo Fei said with a smile. His idea was not as complicated as the other party's. In essence, No matter how advanced a battleship is, it is just a toy, although Mo Fei feels very fresh about this toy now... The strongest person in this world is human beings themselves.

"Of course it is a good thing to be able to deal with pirates, but..." Espagu paused, but after all he did not say the next words.

And Mo Fei could also help him complete the next half of the sentence, "It's just that it's nothing new for the navy to turn its guns on civilians."

"In short, as a shipwright, when building a new ship, I feel like I am building an ancient weapon."

"This statement is a bit exaggerated. The new warship is just a conventional weapon. You can't expect it to play a role other than conventional ones." Mo Fei felt that she was "enlightening" the boatman. Building an iron-clad ship was definitely the same as building a wooden sailboat. are different.

While chatting and walking, they had arrived at the shipyard, and then led by Espagu to a certain slipway. Earlier, the steel monster lying on the slipway had appeared in front of them. in sight.

For the sailors who saw this type of ship for the first time, their feelings about the new ship at this time tended to be the same:

Brutal and ugly.

"You don't even have a sail?"

Many people can't help but raise such doubts.

Correspondingly, Mo Fei's mood at this time was excited and slightly shocked. Although he had said it clearly before, this was actually the first time he had seen such a battleship with his own eyes.

It's not in the video or the game, it's right within reach.

"It's so riveting and steamy... Although it's not much, it's not strong enough, but it's definitely 'steamy'..."

"What, Your Excellency Major General?" Espagu didn't hear clearly what Mo Fei was muttering.

"Nothing, I'm just talking about the professional terminology of our industry." Mo Fei squinted her eyes, looked at a huge turret that was slowly descending under the pendant, and said, "Can we go to the ship to have a look?"

"Yes, but we have to wait until the No. 3 turret is hoisted."

Mo Fei nodded and began to wait. This ship is going to install three triple turrets, adopting the classic piggy-back structure of two at the front and one at the back. At this time, the installation of the No. 1 and No. 2 turrets on the front deck seems to have been completed.

"Rear Admiral Erindell, why is this ship called the 'Queen of the North Sea'? As far as I know, you should be from the South China Sea..." In order to take care of the guests and avoid being left in the cold, Espagu said this again.

"Um, no special reason, just for a little commemoration."

After the No. 3 turret was placed on the turret, Espagu took Mo Fei and others onto the deck, and then he began to help introduce the main weapons and equipment on the ship, "The main weapons on the ship are these three batteries. Equipped with a 410 mm, 55 times caliber main gun, they can easily push shells weighing more than one ton 30 kilometers away, and if they use high-angle arc ballistic shooting, their range is much longer than that."

Everyone looked at those thick and long tubes. When the battleship's turret swings sideways, a large part of the gun tubes with a length of more than 20 meters will float outside the side of the ship. This alone can make people feel it. of violence.

"As a shipwright, I both want to see such a scene when a battleship's artillery fires, but I also don't want to see such a scene."

“I can’t wait to take a boat out to sea... You must know that since the era of iron-clad battleships, the strong have defeated the weak on the sea, but there has never been a situation where small-tonnage and small-caliber naval guns have defeated large-tonnage and large-tonnage naval guns in naval battles. The situation of large-caliber naval guns." After saying that, Mo Fei hurriedly added as if she was worried about being caught, "Oh, battle patrols don't count."

"..."

Espagu thought Mo Fei's words were a bit strange. What does "since" mean? The era of ironclad ships has not yet begun.

Mo Fei's thinking is more scattered. From the perspective of "economic benefits", battleships are indeed an expensive toy. In naval battles, it is difficult for battleships to truly destroy each other. In various senses, Its war efficiency is actually not that high.

The most powerful battleship ever built by mankind, in the war that swept the entire ocean, achieved... no results.

A certain King Kong-class hit the enemy with two 14-inch shells, and then was sent into the seabed by nine 16-inch shells. This was already a brilliant result they achieved in battleship shooting.

"I have imagined that every battleship sortie would be like committing suicide..."

Feelings are feelings, reason is reason, how can BB beat CV.

As a large experimental ship, the Queen of the North Sea adopted quite a lot of cutting-edge technologies. Mo Fei looked at the shipwrights busy and couldn't understand anything for a while. He looked around and finally saw a somewhat... The things looked familiar. It seemed that the warship he had been on before had similar equipment.

"What are you doing?"

So he pointed over there and asked.

"That? It's just a smoke generator." Espagu began to doubt Mo Fei's professional qualities. As a naval officer, the other party didn't recognize this.

"Smoke generator? You actually install smoke generators on battleships?"

Once you enter the battlefield, occupy the attack position, and start firing volleys of artillery, then the next step is the story of who will leave first and who will be Sun Tzu. What are you doing to smoke?

"Any questions?"

"No, it's nothing."

Well, Mo Fei still kept the idea of ​​cerebral palsy in his mind, otherwise others would really think that he had cerebral palsy.

Just as the topic was gradually getting sidetracked, a commotion suddenly came from a corner of the shipyard. It seemed that some kind of chaos had occurred. Soon, even the eyes of Mo Fei and others on the ship were attracted.

"What happened? Baoli, go and have a look."

"Yes, Mr. Iceberg."

Things were quickly figured out, and after only a few minutes a woman arrived in the bag.

Um, ma'am? girl? It seems difficult to distinguish.

Mo Fei cast her gaze over and saw the man's round face, round eyes on the bridge of his nose, and his hands carefully holding a notebook and an ordinary camera... The more he looked, the more he felt that the man himself seemed to be there. Where have I seen it?

"Mr. Bingshan seems to be a reckless reporter."
