"Humph!"

"Did she think it would be okay to shoot down Ellie's?"

"Ellie's little will send back data before it crashes even if it is shot down......"

The proud little face was full of pride, and the big royal blue eyes were full of pride, and Ellie said that she was old. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Find the intelligence data sent back by the reconnaissance plane before it crashed, and read it back into file and photo mode.

After opening the report file, what the reconnaissance plane photographed was presented in front of everyone's eyes.

A battleship!

A black battleship!

A huge black battleship!

The reconnaissance aircraft took several photos at different angles at high altitude.

After getting closer, a few more shots were taken, and before it was shot down, the black battleship was shot up close.

"Wow~ It's so big!"

Ellie was shocked when she saw the battleship in the photo.

A huge battleship that could intimidate everyone who saw her at a glance.

The displacement of the Aili is already approaching 50,000 tons.

Saratoga also has 40,000 tons.

The hull of the two of them already looks like a giant on the sea.

But compared to the pure black giant ship Elido in the photo, it is even inferior, let alone Gaga.

"Could this really be the battleship Prince of Wales?" Koji couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and asked Veneto's eldest sister.

Historically, the Prince of Wales had a displacement of 35,490 tons (40,580 tons at full load).

Hull: length 227.1 meters, width 31.3 meters, draft 8.53 meters.

Main guns: 10 14-inch guns (two quadruple guns, one twin gun).

Secondary guns: 5.25 inches 16 guns.

Air defense: 32 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 18 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

But the black giant ship found by the reconnaissance plane does not look like the original data recorded in the Elle database.

Modern calculation equations are amazing.

Just knowing a little bit of data can make more data through calculations.

It is said that calculation geniuses only need to look at the length of your shadow to calculate the shadow area in your heart...... Ahem, it's your various body data.

Ellie's electronic reconnaissance aircraft is equipped with a small computer that can record simple data.

The black battleship in the photo can also be calculated and analyzed.

"The length of the hull is estimated at 350 meters."

"At its widest point, the deck is already more than 45 meters."

"Preliminary estimates suggest that her displacement may exceed 80,000 tons...... Ellie is only 48,000! ”

"Three quadruple 406 (16-inch) main guns on the foredeck and two triple 16-inch guns on the aft deck...... She's a hedgehog? ”

"Wow, a lot of secondary and anti-aircraft guns, 1, 2, 3, 4...... 32, 32 secondary guns, and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns filled the deck...... She thinks she's land-based or porcupine. ”

Yes.

This black battleship has completely detached itself from the understanding of the ship's wives.

In Koji's original world, warships need to take into account issues such as manpower and ammunition depots, so the design of each weapon port needs to be considered countless times to achieve the maximum balance as much as possible.

In the world of Azure Star, the ship girl, you can be relatively free.

The ammunition depot of the ship's girls is actually their mental core, transmitting ammunition resources and energy through the core veins on the hull to complete the loading of shells.

As long as their mental computing power can be controlled, it is not impossible to install more main and secondary guns.

But no matter how much it is possible, they can't turn them into hedgehogs indefinitely!

After Elle's change, she can actually be called a hedgehog.

Three main guns.

Eight defensive secondary guns.

Four 1130 close-in anti-aircraft guns were paired with a small number of anti-aircraft guns.

But there are 125 rocket silos hidden under the flat deck of the Ellie!

With so many weapons ported, Ellie relies on the modern electronic systems that her hull is equipped with to assist in control.

It is impossible for ordinary ship girls to design like this, otherwise they can only control part of it at the same time if they are equipped.

Ellie is already BT enough!

Now this black battleship suspected of being the Prince of Wales is even more BT!

The main guns alone have changed from 10 355 mm to 18 406 now.

Is this a battleship or a land-based defensive fortress?

You need to know.

There is a limit to the calculations of the ship girls.

Ultra-high computing power also brings ultra-high load.

Once the high load is long, the ship girls will feel tired.

This load is actually a certain degree of deep-sea power eroding the ship girls.

If the load strength and time exceed a certain limit, the shipwives will be like a computer with a virus that can't control itself.

Plainly......

It's transformed into the deep sea!

Only the crazy deep sea will increase the firepower output at any cost.

"No wonder you saw that her reconnaissance planes were all shot down, the number of anti-aircraft guns of this size ...... Hehe! ”

Saratoga could only express a certain stirring mood in his heart with a "hehe" that he had just learned for a long time: I hehe, you have a face!

80,000 tons of displacement.

The terrifying 350-meter hull length,

6 main guns of 18 guns of 406 mm caliber.

Ellie was as petite in front of her as the heavy cruiser in front of a battleship.

"Probably...... It's really her! ”

"Ha~ The Prince of Wales of the European Royal Mansion family looks like this?"

"You're just like this, and of course she wasn't as exaggerated as she is now."

Veneto's eldest sister's expression was also extremely complicated, and after a silent sigh, Veneto continued:

"Quadruple on the foredeck and triple on the aft deck, this was the Prince of Wales' own choice, do you remember her background in your world......

The background of the battleship Prince of Wales?

Koji is not a historian, and he doesn't know much about the history of the past.

But after coming to this world, Koji also worked hard and gnawed the World War II era.

The outbreak of World War II was mainly caused by the ambition of a certain mustache to finally provoke all the countries of the world to participate in the war.

But in fact......

We can also use another explanation:

After World War I, all countries were afraid that the other side would be stronger than themselves, so they all went to war in their own homes.

Riots come at a cost, and after a long time, no matter how powerful a country is, it will not be able to hold on, and it will cause economic turmoil in its own country.

Continued violence could lead to the collapse of the economic system.

If you don't fight violently, you may be preempted by others and then bullied yourself.

So what to do?

So at that time, the countries came together and signed the agreement.

It probably means, "Brother, we can't go on like this, or we can stipulate how much force each of us can have."

Then various contracts were signed that clearly defined how many troops each country could have, how many naval warships of tonnage, and a number of other criteria.

At that time, the world's major powers were all signatories to the treaty.

Whoever dares not to do what is said to be done in cooperation will be beaten by the others who join forces.

So no one dared to take the lead at that time.

Including the mustache that started World War II.

However, history tells us that the so-called contract is a piece of waste paper.

When there is a need within the country, they will think about taking up arms again to grab someone else's.

At last......

There was World War II!

But we are not talking about the reasons for the outbreak of World War II.

Rather, it was the birth background of the battleship Prince of Wales at that time.

The contract strictly limited the tonnage of warships and the caliber of naval guns of various countries.

But at that time, the situation in the world was already stormy, and the restrictions on contracts in various countries were only on the surface, as for the private...... Hehe!

A certain empire where the sun never sets is difficult to ride a tiger.

It was he who spearheaded the development of the treaty that limited the navy.

Others can not accept it, he himself has to take the lead.

As a result, when he launched the Prince of Wales-class battleship, which was arguably the most advanced, he found himself a significant step behind.

It's not that the Prince of Wales-class battleship design is outdated.

It's her lack of firepower to form a deterrent.

Everyone else took the contract and secretly stuffed their battleships with large-caliber main guns that exceeded the standard.

The Prince of Wales' 14-inch gun had no advantage over the 16-inch guns.

The people of the empire on which the sun never sets tried to limit others in their powerful navy, but in the end they collapsed themselves.

The Prince of Wales class battleships were known as the newest warships at the time.

But in fact, as soon as the water is out, it is already behind the times, showing a lack of firepower.

At last.

The decline of a naval power that flourished for centuries......

"The Prince of Wales values the caliber of her main gun, and she endured unimaginable pain to replace her 14-inch gun with a 16-inch gun, but there is one thing she has never given up......"

"Quadruple?"

Koji guessed.

The battleship's main gun assembly was quite complicated.

At that time, it was common for countries to use two-in-a-row.

A small number of technologically advanced countries use triple guns.

Quadruple ......

Sounds cool.

But in fact, it is dying!

Historically, only a few capital warships have adopted quadruple main guns.

The more famous Prince of Wales is counted as one, and the other is a bishop of an allied country of the empire on which the sun never sets.

However, the quadruple main gun exposed various design deficiencies and technical deficiencies in actual combat, and a certain bishop's bore was notoriously exploded.

But it is not possible that the design of his quadruple main gun also has its advantages.

That's the speed of firepower!

That's how the Prince of Wales used her outdated 14-inch gun to make a name for herself in the world.

"Hmm!"

Sister Veneto nodded.

"The deep sea doesn't think as much as we do."

"If this is a deep-sea warship, it will either choose to be all triple, or simply all four."

Koji understood!

The black battleships in the photo are the first four and the last three.

In other words, its mind has taken into account the needs of actual combat.

The powerful quadruple main gun is used to chase the enemy, and the rear triple cannon is easy to defend laterally.

And there is this way of thinking......

It could only be the ship's mother!

"But ......"

The eldest sister continued.

Except for a faint shadow.

The black battleship in the photo was not at all the one she was familiar with.

"This ship-style of hers...... It's the way of the deep sea! ”

"Hiss~"

Although there have long been suspicions.

But after getting confirmation from the mouth of the eldest sister.

Koji couldn't help but take a cool breath.

Battleship HMS Prince of Wales!

It's the deep sea!
