Chapter 197: The Caliber Problem

After repeated entanglements, the avant-garde still failed to give up the kinetic energy matrix transformation method given by Arden, especially if the main gun and superstructure were demolished, the saved resources could make the protective shield thicker.

"But in this case, it seems that the number of artillery crews is much less." Watching the warship transformed into a kinetic energy matrix in the projection shoot out the destructive particle sphere one by one at a slow speed, the avant-garde said with some sadness.

If you follow Arden's transformation, the four old pot-shaped main guns and the dozens of Bofors six-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns are all gone, and the avant-garde's own iron curtain skills are useless.

Although the diameter of this kinetic matrix energy sphere cannot be calculated, it must be more than 88mm artillery set.

"Well, as a sea ship, it seems that one main gun is not too sufficient." Arden heard the avant-garde say this, and said with his hand on his chest and his chin.

"It's simple, I'll install a gun crew for the avant-garde, the power may not be as good as your kinetic energy matrix, but it can be transformed."

In a flash of inspiration, Hyperion walked over to the initial remodeled projection, fiddled with it, and moved the large outer armor used to seal the kinetic matrix to isolate radiation to the rear of the hull, freeing up the deck at the front of the avant-garde hull.

"You're talking about the main artillery crew of the storming siege tank?" When Arden heard that Hyperion was going to install a deformable gun crew, he immediately remembered the Tren tank.

"It's not a piercing, it's an old-fashioned arc tank." Hubelion replied as he installed a gun crew in the vacated deck area.

"Why the old-fashioned?" Whether it's piercing or arcing, the avant-garde doesn't understand what it means, but the avant-garde can at least hear that Hyperion wants to install an old-fashioned main gun.

has been complained about, it is obviously a cutting-edge battleship, but the avant-garde who uses old-fashioned main guns cares about this very much.

"Isn't your special ability only available for calibers below 88mm?" Huberian asked, looking at the guard.

"yes, what's wrong?" The avant-garde didn't know why Hubelian suddenly asked this.

"There are two types of artillery groups for siege tanks, one is a small-caliber double-shot plasma gun set, which is used to defend itself and clear small enemies, and the other is a large-caliber shock gun group."

Huberian, who briefly explained the meaning of the transformation of the gun set he wanted to install, continued: "The latest small-caliber gun crew of the Piercing Siege Tank is 90mm, and your special skills are useless against it, while the caliber of the arc light is only 83mm, which just matches your special skills. ”

"Oh, that's right." The avant-garde, who spoke in such a tone, suddenly remembered something and asked Hubelian: "What caliber is the main gun?" ”

"The piercing is 180mm, the arc light is 170mm, if you need to, I can try to carry the piercing main gun and the arc secondary gun together, but it may be a little ugly." Huberian replied to the avant-garde's question.

"It's only that big." The avant-garde said with some disappointment, because for the battleship mother, whether it is a 170mm caliber or a 180mm caliber, it is a small and medium-sized caliber.

However, considering that this transformation was based on the premise that Arden installed a kinetic matrix cannon for her, the avant-garde felt that 170mm caliber or 180mm caliber was still acceptable as a secondary gun.

"You're not going to compare the shock guns of the Imperial siege tanks with your backward powder guns, do you?" Seeing the avant-garde's expression, Huberian smiled secretly.

"Ah, isn't it true that the larger the caliber, the more powerful the artillery?" The avant-garde speaks to the world's popular understanding of the power of artillery.

"Huh." Huberian responded to the avant-garde with a word he had just learned on the ship's webpage in recent days.

"......" The avant-garde who usually goes online naturally knows what Hyperion means, and the translation is that this starship mother doesn't want to talk to herself, and throws over a "hehe".

"What about side effects?" Arden didn't care about the awkward scene of Hubelion's conversation with the avant-garde, and asked Hubelian directly.

"What side effects? Is it radiation again? "The avant-garde doesn't want to have a shelf at the back of its hull and another shelf in front.

"Although the arc siege artillery crew is an old-fashioned product, it definitely doesn't have these problems with radiation, as for the side effects that Arden said." Huberian thought for a moment and said, "If you want to open the shock main gun, you may need to slow down the speed in order to ensure the stability of the crew. ”

"Slow down? How much less? "The avant-garde is still very concerned about its speed as a high-speed battleship.

"If you open one, you'll be slowed down by about a quarter of your speed." Huberian nodded at the hull of the Glory Guard, which was already carrying an arc siege blaster in the air, and felt that the place was quite large, moved the blaster back, squeezed it in again, and said:

"If both doors are turned on at the same time, you'll only have a quarter of your speed or less."

"Huh? Quarter? Doesn't that mean that I can't even reach ten knots? The avant-garde did the math and found that if this was the case, he would change from a cutting-edge high-speed battleship to a sail battleship.

"You can open one at a time, but I can guarantee that it will be worth the price if you open two at the same time." Huberian looked at her transformation with satisfaction, and the two large discs of the Avantgarde projection appeared on the foredeck.

"Is this 180mm caliber gun powerful?" Seeing that Hyperion did not look like a flickering ship, the avant-garde could only come up with such an answer.

"Hey, little girl, do you know why the name of the siege tank is siege?" This time, Hyperion, who no longer had to deal with it, snickered.

"Siege? Are you saying that the role of this cannon is against the fortress cannon? After the avant-garde read the sentence, he suddenly remembered what these two words meant, and said in surprise: "But if it is used for the fortress, isn't the main caliber at least fourteen inches to start?" ”

"So, the world view is different, and I can't explain it, if you believe me, you'll know if you try a few shots after I finish transforming." Seeing that the avant-garde still didn't understand, Hyperion wanted to say one more hehe.

"Can the 180mm caliber really be used as a fortress gun?" The avant-garde was very entangled, because if Hyperion hadn't fooled her, it meant that after the transformation, the avant-garde's secondary guns would be more powerful than many battleships' main guns.

And there are also side effects of reducing speed, and with the kinetic energy matrix that Arden modified for her, is she going to transform from a cutting-edge air defense high-speed battleship to a low-speed arsenal ship?

The avant-garde glanced at Arden with disbelieving eyes, as if waiting for the ship's admiral, who had the ability to be a governor, to give her an accurate answer.

Then Arden didn't care about the avant-garde eyes, but just asked Hyperion, "Speaking of which, what is the caliber of your main gun?" ”

"Yamato cannon?" Huberian, who didn't expect the topic to turn to himself, asked strangely.

"Do you have a second main gun?" Arden rolled his eyes.

"Actually, when it was first designed, there were several Yamato guns...... Ahem, wait I'll do the math. Seeing Arden's appearance of violence, Hyperion hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered.

"Do you still need to count the caliber of your own main gun?" Arden is a little strange, the avant-garde is also confused, in the avant-garde's impression, a ship girl may not be able to know every part of her body, but the caliber of the barrel inserted in the body must be clear.

"The Yamato cannon is not based on caliber, don't bother me, I'm calculating, if you deduct the strong magnetic coil and the protective deck, it should be, well, 90, well, or 80, it's always about this number." Huberian, who had come to the result, replied.

“90mm?” The avant-garde couldn't believe that the caliber of such a powerful main gun was only 90mm?

"The unit is mistaken, it's not mm, it's m." Hyperion said with a wave of his hand.

"Poof......" The avant-garde almost spat out a mouthful of fuel.

90 meter caliber? ――
