LRAB Chapter 1149 Special 18-inch Main Gun
Chapter 1149 Special 18-inch Main Gun
Prototype twin 457mm main gun MkA.
The main gun of this battleship is based on the main gun plan of the White Eagle Navy in history: 18"/48 Mark 1.
Although the White Eagle Navy had conducted research on this 18-inch main gun in history, it was never actually installed due to various factors.
Based on this plan, a portion of the barrel end was cut off to obtain the "18"/47 Mark A, and one prototype gun remained on display in Virginia.
However, the main gun in the world of Azur Lane is actually the result of research on its prototype, the "18"/48 Mark 1", and the weight issue that was criticized in the prototype has been resolved.
However, the large caliber of the 18-inch main gun comes at the cost of not only its weight but also many other problems such as barrel life and shell ejection angle. However, in the era of KanColle, Yang Sikang believes that these issues can be reconsidered.
There is no need to worry about the weight and barrel life of the ship's equipment. The creations of the Mind Cube are much more powerful than the prototype ship.
In traditional warship battles, an insufficient ejection angle of a shell will result in insufficient destructive power on the deck. However, under the premise of KanColle, as long as the power is strong enough, nothing else will be a problem.
If the normal Azur Lane ship equipment is manufactured step by step, the difficulty will be greatly reduced and the reliability can be maximized. But for Yang Sikang, if a person with technology and experience and enough resources for trial and error is only satisfied with a stable and reliable mature solution, then it is completely a waste of resources!
While taking Georgia to the Gu Diao, Yang Sikang also called Yu Zhang. Compared with Akashi and Ingraham, Yu Zhang was more sensitive to the data on ship equipment, and she was also more skilled.
"Although the 18-inch main gun you are using has a mature and reliable stabilization solution, I have made some changes based on that solution. However, since there is no time to test it, the degree of change is very conservative. As you have already used it in combat, I plan to extract the data first and then make adjustments based on your habits."
"alright, thank you very much."
"Haha, this is a very common situation in our fleet. In fact, the ship equipment in our fleet is all customized and adjusted according to the individual's combat style and usage habits, to maximize the power of personal style."
Yang Sikang smiled and said:
"So you are no exception. We have equipment on board that can extract data."
Arriving in the cabin, Yu Zhang trotted forward to prepare the equipment, while Yang Sikang asked Hermione who followed to help, and then walked slowly with Georgia while saying:
"At present, the equipment inspection and maintenance of our fleet are all completed by machines. After all, there is a lot of data that needs to be collected. Even with me, there are not enough researchers to collect accurate data for everyone.
I know you care more about this, so let Yubari take you to see the machines we made ourselves later. By the way, there is a small cold storage on the ship for Coke, over here. "
Since it was on the way, Yang Sikang took Georgia to the small cold storage on the ship first.
"This cold storage is powered by its own energy source. In order to ensure that it can continue to work stably even when the ship is docked, several mind cubes are used."
Yang Sikang smiled and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, a stream of cold air flowed out. The two entered. Yang Sikang pointed to a row of freezers on the left and said:
"These are all the ingredients for making ice cream. The area on the right is for Coke."
Yang Sikang skillfully took out a bottle of Coke, but this thing was acid cola for the ship girls to drink, and had nothing to do with him.
Looking at the dazzling array of things in the cold storage, and then looking at the Coke in his hand that was still covered with a layer of frost but not frozen, Georgia hesitated for a moment and asked the question that he had been thinking about since a while ago.
"Commander, is it really okay to put a cold storage for ice cream and Coke on the command ship?"
"No problem. It won't affect the function and strength of the ship anyway."
Yang Sikang shrugged.
"The Gu Diao is very powerful. Well, the equipment at Yubari should have been activated, let's go over there."
After taking Georgia to inspect the ship's equipment, and then letting Yubari take her to identify the machines she usually uses and introducing the internal structure of the command ship, when the group returned to the hotel, Georgia was completely shocked.
The technical excellence was one thing, but she was even more surprised by the leisurely atmosphere of her own fleet, which was completely different from the serious and earnest atmosphere she had previously imagined.
Georgia is actually not a very serious ship girl. It's just that before this, she watched the meticulous development of the shipyard, learned about her commander's past from Bai Ze, and learned about her commander's excellent evaluation from other people.
All these things put together naturally made Georgia have a preconceived notion that its commander and its fleet should be very serious and strict.
Yang Sikang also noticed this at the beginning. The seriousness and solemnity shown by Georgia was completely inconsistent with his understanding of Georgia's character. While Georgia was talking, Yang Sikang had been paying attention to her expression and demeanor, and only then did he confirm his thoughts.
Therefore, he specially brought Georgia to the places on the command ship that best reflected the usual atmosphere of the fleet.
"So, strictness and severity are only required during important battles. You can be as relaxed as you want at other times. I'm very tolerant here, but there are a few kids who like to play pranks. You have to be a little careful about that."
"Okay, I'll remember that, Commander."
Georgia looked at Yang Sikang and nodded. She quickly stopped, turned sideways, and reached out.
The archerfish, who was smiling as she swooped down from the nearby shelf and tried to attack, suddenly widened her eyes, but she had no ability to dodge in mid-air and was caught by Georgia.
"Ah!! Commander, you betrayed me!!"
The archerfish immediately realized what was going on and started complaining to Yang Sikang with a puffed face.
When Yang Sikang just came in, he saw the archerfish sneaking in, but he didn't care.
While talking to Georgia, Yang Sikang also noticed the archerfish climbing up the shelf.
Her purpose was obvious. Although Archerfish knew that Yang Sikang had discovered her, she still made a gesture to Yang Sikang and continued to carry out her own surprise attack plan.
However, when Yang Sikang looked at her, Georgia had already noticed him.
"Hello, I'm Georgia. Judging from your appearance, you should be a White Eagle submarine, right?"
Georgia said hello to Archerfish and put her down. Archerfish then stopped staring at Yang Sikang and said with his hands on his hips:
"I am the Archerfish of the Balau class, and I am also the record holder for the largest tonnage sunk!"
Looking at the archerfish's smug look, Georgia smiled and handed the Coke in his hand to it.
"Hello, Archerfish."
