Fairy Tail: Start Awakening Devouring Magic
Chapter 156
But now she met a commander.
He liked aircraft carriers more than battleships, and was more willing to believe in the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers, and cultivated them as the core of the fleet.
He was the admiral that all the aircraft carrier girls dreamed of, not to mention that he could make aircraft carriers more powerful.
She couldn't imagine how strong Lexington would be in the future.
The framework had just been completed and it was just a lump of iron. Next, Lexington began to construct the interior of the battleship according to the requirements on the drawings.
The details were also made as perfect as possible.
At the same time, Vian began to take out his own money.
He took out the ship equipment that had already been made.
Radar, power, sonar, as for carrier-based aircraft, Vian did not manufacture them now.
15 carrier-based aircraft require one ship equipment. If Lexington can have a maximum of 220 carrier-based aircraft, at least 30 ship equipment 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 made it at the lowest cost, not to mention the cost of other admirals wanting to arm an aircraft carrier.
And the ship equipment cannot guarantee that all of them are relatively powerful carrier-based aircraft like Lexington.
The more Lexington materialized, the more he discovered what was hidden inside her hull.
Because her hull was originally larger than other ship girls, Wei An also hid something inside her hull.
The front deck of Lexington's hull.
A large amount of space was reserved under the deck, and now it has been gradually filled with resources.
As a ship designer who likes flying people.
He knows and understands more about aircraft carriers, and has more knowledge.
He doesn't have to think about making electromagnetic catapults now, but the next replacement of Lexington's carrier-based aircraft may not be propeller aircraft.
At that time, more advanced catapults will be needed.
Although he thought about making catapults into ship equipment, he gave up in the end.
The catapult requires the hull to be modified, so he directly drew all the detailed information on the drawings.
It was directly materialized when Lexington materialized.
So now Lexington can feel that the flight deck of her ship is not complete.
There are several decks that can be raised and lowered, a total of four. There are two decks on the bow and two flight decks on the side.
Lexington couldn't figure out the function of these decks, and Wei'an didn't tell them what they were.
Because that was not the jet deflector prepared for now, in order to prevent other equipment on the deck from being burned by the tail flame of the aircraft, or to prevent Wei'an from burning herself.
After all, the takeoff of carrier-based aircraft is also controlled by Lexington and her.
The corresponding are four special devices that are hundreds of meters long. It is also the most stubborn part when Wei'an designed the aircraft carrier, just like his stubbornness in developing ship equipment.
He has no way to use the electromagnetic catapult, but he can still handle the inferior steam catapult.
At the same time, in order to prepare for the improvement of Lexington's power system in the future, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by boiling water can be used, and there is no need to use extra hulls for steam separately like now. In order to facilitate future use, so as to avoid the need to modify the hull and deck separately at that time.
In other places, Vian converted most of the cabins that were no longer used into hangars and arranged them for the power compartment.
At the same time, Vian did not forget to reserve the same vertical launch as Clemenceau on the aircraft carrier, but it was different from their offensive weapons.
The reason why Vian arranged vertical launch for Lexington was to prevent the villain's underwater torpedoes.
It was more defensive in nature.
Therefore, only 16 launch units were installed on the deck behind the island.
So she took the remaining ship equipment from Vian's hand and used them one by one, and materialized them.
It marked the completion of today's mission.
At the same time, Lexington's displacement reached 6W.
Steel consumed 12W, oil 1000, ammunition 1000, and aluminum was not consumed.
The power system used the same power system as Clemenceau.
Because the space inside the Lexington's hull was more abundant than Clemenceau, he arranged two for Lexington to form the battleship's surging power.
Several ship equipments together cost Vian 7000 energy.
Vian was not relieved that Lexington had saved him resources.
After all, the most expensive part was the carrier-based aircraft. By then, the resources needed would not only be steel, but also aluminum and tens of thousands of energies.
He would invest more resources in Lexington than Clemenceau.
Looking at her current hull, Lexington was full of joy.
She liked the hull designed by Vian very much.
No matter how she imagined it on the drawing, it was not as spectacular as it would be when it was realized.
Although the deck was still empty, she did not doubt the performance of the battleship.
In particular, she could feel the strong power inside the hull. The same power system as Clemenceau was installed, and it was doubled.
Although the speed could not be doubled, it was no problem to push the current 60,000-ton battleship to easily pass 40 knots. She even felt very relaxed to continue to improve it.
As for how much it could reach, she had not yet sailed specifically and did not have an accurate result.
After all, as an aircraft carrier, the hull is larger.
The longer the waterline of the hull, the further the power requirements will be reduced.
The same water jet propulsion is more efficient at high speeds.
All in all, Lexington can only run faster than Clemenceau, even if Lexington reaches 80,000 tons, or even 100,000 tons.
As for why Vian made such an arrangement.
His modified warships can run at more than 40 knots. As the core of the fleet, the aircraft carrier will certainly not lag behind.
The maximum speed of a fleet depends on the slowest warship. Now the maximum speed of his warship is 31.5 knots.
The speed of Shropshire.
And now Lexington and the others are still using propeller planes, running faster, and it will be easier 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 running distance, and the faster you run against the wind, the stronger the lift will be.
""So cool!"
Saratoga stood on her deck and exclaimed at the Lexington.
She didn't feel this way when she materialized Clemenceau, after all, Clemenceau was a gunboat.
Now that an aircraft carrier like her has been transformed by Wei'an, she really feels the difference.
A more handsome appearance, more powerful carrier-based aircraft, more space, and more powerful performance than her.
