Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Although we returned earlier than expected.

But Tina also launched a saturation fire attack.

Just as she herself said, this one warship is equal to an entire fleet of the Demon Slayer Order.

The firing rate of the main gun alone is more than three times faster than that of large naval ships.

Not to mention the main gun range, shell power, and strike accuracy.

Each of them far exceeds the navy's large warships.

In fact, if the advantage of range is utilized well, a warship can even defeat an entire naval fleet.

After all, the range is 22 kilometers...

The navy's main guns are on large warships, which are only a little over one kilometer long.

Is there anything wrong with using 30 knots to kite your entire fleet?

Of course, Tina also found some areas for improvement.

for example...

Observation means!

That’s right, the main gun can fire 22 kilometers away, but standing on the Cambridge, using a telescope, you can only see about 12 kilometers away.

In other words, an attack from 12 kilometers away cannot be accurately located.

Yes, the warship is equipped with an observation Haki radar, but as mentioned before, the maximum detection range of this thing is probably ten times the range of the user's observation Haki.

Take Tina as an example.

Currently, the coverage range of the observation color is about 300 meters.

So, after using the visual radar, it is only 3 kilometers.

Not to mention locating a target 12 kilometers away, it can't even see as far as a telescope.

If you want to match the range of 22 kilometers, the captain's basic coverage range of observation Haki must reach 2.2 kilometers.

In this ocean, how many people can use their observation Haki to cover a range of 2.2 kilometers?

So, for the time being, although the sight color radar is useful in artillery battles, it is very limited!

In the conference room, Tina spoke for almost an hour.

Some are minor issues that just require some tweaking.

But some are big problems, and there are no good solutions yet.

"Roy, what do you think?"

As the director of the ship design bureau, Roy is absolutely professional in this area.

"Colonel, the other problems are easy to solve, but the problem with the vision radar is a bit troublesome. How about we use the old method to deal with it temporarily?"

"The old way?"

"Yes, add a mast to the island and build a lookout tower above it."

Boy, that’s really the old way.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see, right?

After all, Tina said she could only see 12 kilometers away, but that was because she was looking from the bridge.

But what if we increase the number of onlookers on the island and directly raise the observation position by 20 or 30 meters?

Then you can naturally see farther, right?

Although it is highly likely that it will still not reach 22 kilometers, it is definitely a huge improvement over 12 kilometers.

This method is a bit old-fashioned, but it is still acceptable as a temporary transition!

"I agree. Once Roy finishes designing it, Kylo will be responsible for modifying the battleship immediately!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Well, Silas, what's the progress on the close-in defense weapons of the battleships that I told you about last time?"

After confirming this, Luo Lan looked at Silas again.

In fact, from the very beginning, Luo Lan believed that deploying ten heavy machine guns on each warship, for both air defense and close defense, was still too weak.

So, he asked Silas to develop a more effective close-range defense weapon.

It requires a fast rate of fire, instant formation of a barrage of bullets, and great power.

If you can automate the work, that’s even better!

"Colonel, the target you mentioned last time is simply impossible to achieve in such a short period of time!"

Silas shook his head.

What was Luo Lan’s request last time?

1. The rate of fire exceeds 1000 rounds per minute.

2. The range exceeds 2 kilometers.

3. The bullet uses a 30mm caliber armor-piercing bullet.

4 ...

There are more than ten requirements.

But for now, most Silas can't do it.

A very important point is...

It is too limited by the technological capabilities.

Many times it’s not that something cannot be researched, but that current technology cannot do it.

It’s just like the chip in Luo Lan’s previous life. You can design a 3-nanometer chip, but your process cannot produce it.

Because you don’t have a lithography machine.

The same principle applies in the world of pirates.

The fundamental reason is that the current technological development of the branch is somewhat too distorted.

There is no way to do this, you have to spend time and do it bit by bit.

"In that case, how about increasing the number temporarily?"

Luo Lan pondered for a moment and asked Roy again.

"In fact, it doesn't matter how many we deploy on the warship, even 50. But if we do that, based on two people per heavy machine gun, we'll need to carry dozens more people."

"This will greatly reduce the living conditions of personnel, the time that supplies can last, and the amount of other ammunition reserves, etc."

That's right, you can deploy as many heavy machine guns as you want.

After all, this thing only needs a place to be set up, and there are not too many strict conditions.

It's just a matter of balance and trade-offs.

"Add more. Each battleship should be equipped with at least 30 heavy machine guns, forming a firepower network with no blind spots in all directions!"

After careful consideration, Luo Lan decided to add it.

It may not be used in normal operations, but I will go to the volcanic island in a month...

Still need some preparation.

After all, there might be a big battle, and the original battleship configuration...

It's still not very safe.

------

This meeting lasted a long time.

In addition to the modifications mentioned earlier, Luo Lan also asked Roy to make improvements based on the problems he found.

At the same time, a second batch of warships, also two in number, was built.

Time was very tight, because Luo Lan's requirement was that only 20 days would be given from design to completion of construction.

As for Tina and Smoker, they were also assigned tasks.

The time is also 20 days, and four groups of qualified crew members need to be trained so that...

One month later, the four warships will be able to be deployed simultaneously.

After deploying all the tasks, Luo Lan prepared to go to the training center to practice.

However...

But Silas quietly stopped him.

"Colonel, I just found something good over there, do you want to go take a look?"

"What did you come up with?"

"Hey, it's the thing you told me about before, the airplane!"

"What, you made a plane?"

Luo Lan's eyes widened with disbelief.

"Go, lead the way, go now!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

About ten minutes later.

Luo Lan finally saw the plane built by Silas and others.

At first glance, it looks extremely familiar.

It looks so familiar.

If I remember the name correctly, this is exactly the same as the [Morana-Solnier L-type fighter] in my previous life, right?

Good guy...

Silas, did you secretly travel through time without telling me?

Otherwise, how could it be made so similar?

Although from the perspective of Luo Lan, a time traveler, this thing is very backward.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a fighter jet.

Even in his previous life, this thing was the world's first true fighter jet.

"Can you fly?"

"It's fine in theory, but we haven't tried it yet!"

"Okay, let me test fly!"

With his eyes full of passion, Luo Lan made the decision on the spot.

I want to be the first person in the pirate world to fly a plane!
