Rudolph's self-confidence justifies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the ship is equipped with various types of radar and optical instruments, the accuracy of the shelling mainly depends on the experience of the ship's mother. In the storm, the sea was bumpy, the visibility plummeted, and the large-caliber main gun hit rate of the ship's girls, so naturally there was not much to expect.

The second round of shooting began.

Andrea, who was petite in stature, hit a 66-meter error with one shot. Even Scharnhorst, who had the best result in the first round, missed the target by more than 30 meters this time.

Rudolph didn't mind, though. He didn't believe that in such bad weather, there was still a ship girl who could beat Scharnhorst's first-round results.

Until, Musashi appeared.

"This fire control system has been tested many times, and the correction of artillery fire is excellent. Believe in the Admiral, Musashi, you will do it! Musashi wiped the rain from his face and concentrated on it, and the whole world in his eyes was only the small target as small as an ant in the distance.

"All guns ready, fire!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The cannon roared, resounding through the sky, like a heavy long knife, cutting off the sound of the pouring rain.

When they saw the target ship being torn apart by Musashi's shells, and debris flying all over the sky, many admirals were so shocked that they got up from their seats and ran to the side of the ship despite the rain, trying to see more clearly.

"Incredible, incredible! Miss Musashi shoots a salvo and hits the target ship! Note that it's not a cross shot, it's a direct shot! As far as I know, this is the farthest direct hit record of a large-caliber main gun in bad weather among the many artillery competitions of the League of Nations Navy. Worthy of the super battleship Musashi, today, we witnessed the birth of a world record! ”

On the field, cheers soared into the sky, as if to disperse the dark clouds.

The people who had doubts about Musashi's strength just now did not hesitate to send her the most fanatical compliments at this time.

Roy stood up from his seat and began clapping.

Led by him, other admirals and government officials, as well as high-ranking priests of the Sea God Cult, also stood up one after another and gave Musashi a warm applause.

Musashi felt the praise and congratulations around him, and an unprecedented sense of pride welled up from the bottom of his heart. She looked at the luxury cruise ship in the distance, as if she could feel the trust and care of her own admiral.

"It's great to be a ship's mother, and I'm so happy to shoot!"

Without any suspense, Musashi won the first place in the first large-caliber main gun shooting category.

The torrential rain continued to pour, but in this bad weather, Musashi won the first place in all the large-caliber shooting disciplines.

Compared with the relatively primitive sighting devices of other ship mothers, the fire control system modified by Roy is too rebellious. Although Musashi has a low level of training, the accuracy of the first shot is often not ideal. However, after the correction, the accuracy can be greatly improved in the second round of shooting.

Coupled with the fact that this high technology is different from the naked eye, it is minimally affected by bad weather, so this rainstorm has magnified Musashi's advantage.

This is something Rudolph never imagined.

In the end, Roy won the championship of this artillery competition without any suspense and successfully qualified for the finals. And Musashi also broke many world records for long-distance shooting in bad weather, which can be described as the biggest winner.

At the end of the match, Roy stops Rudolph, who is about to sneak away.

"What's the matter, the young master, who talks about the honor of nobility all day long, is he ready to break his promise and run away?"

Rudolph was furious, and his face was gloomy: "My bet is placed in the Temple of the Sea, and I will take it myself." Tell you, I won't pay my bills, but I won't let civilians like you be humiliated! After winning a fancy artillery competition, he was triumphant, and he was really a civilian who had never seen the world. During the annual assessment, there are also high-intensity confrontation drills. We'll see! ”

Compared with the emotional Rudolph, Roy is very calm. The actual benefits are enough to get your hands on, and as for how Rudolph hates himself, who cares?

The preliminaries winner's prize, combined with the stakes won from Rudolph, can greatly enrich the warehouse of the Roy Town Guard. He will have more than 20,000 oil bombs, more than 30,000 steel, more than 10,000 aluminum, 120 repair barrels, and hundreds of development materials.

These resources have been enough for the town guard to use for a long time. However, in view of the huge consumption of Musashi, and the fact that only seven ship girls are not enough, he has to continue to expand the fleet, and Roy cannot be satisfied with this, and he has to continue to find ways to obtain more resources.

After the tournament, Roy became famous, not only in Palau, but also in the entire South Pacific, and from time to time the Admiral mentioned his name in the chat, and showed a look of envy and admiration.

Early in the morning of the second day after the game, many people came to visit the town guard's house. In addition to their naval colleagues, there are all sorts of messy officials, businessmen, and whatever.

Roy asked the secretary ship Cong Yun to turn away all the visitors and drove to the Ocean Temple alone to collect the bet he had won from Rudolph.

The witness to the gambling game was Guo Miao, one of the five high priests of the Nanyang Diocese.

After the two met, Priest Guo immediately took Luo Yi's hand as a fellow countryman and chatted about family life, with a cordial attitude as if he was his own parent. Finally, a blessing ritual was performed on Roy with the precious sacred seawater.

It is said that the admiral who is blessed by the ritual not only increases his luck for a period of time, making it easier to build rare ships, but also automatically avoids the effects of bad weather when leading a fleet to sea.

"I will remember the grace of God."

"You're welcome, the two of us are fellow countrymen, and now we are thousands of miles away from home, of course we have to help each other."

Roy knew that the reason why the other party was so generous was because he had the super battleship Musashi, and he showed his strength by being a blockbuster in the gunnery competition. If there is no such factor, not to mention that the two are just fellow villagers, even if Luo Yi is Guo Miao's nephew, he will not get a good face.

Soon, a dozen Templars carried Rudolph's bet onto Roy's military truck.

"Major Roy, in the library of the Palau Giant Temple, there are many documents and classics left from the old era, all of which are out of print, I heard that you used to be obsessed with research, and you must also be a Confucian general who likes to read, unlike those rough people who are full of ship bombardment. If you have some spare time, you can come and sit here. ”

"I can't ask for it."

Although he knew that the other party was deliberately wooing, Luo Yi was really grateful for this invitation. Those precious books will definitely give him a deeper and more detailed understanding of the world.

Bidding farewell to Priest Guo and leaving the temple, Roy had just walked to the gate and met two people.

One of them, a little fat man with chestnut curly hair, Roy had some impressions, seemed to be an Italian admiral from Rabaul Podi, named Iochino.

And the other old man with white hair and strong spirits doesn't know him.

Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes lit up, and he ran to Luo Yi and grabbed his hand: "Major Luo Yi, I went to visit your town guard mansion this morning, but who knew that you ran to the Ocean Temple." ”

"Well, I have something to do with the temple, so I declined all visits. You are ......"

"My name is Giovanni, and this unproductive boy is my grandson." The old man handed Roy a business card.

"Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Naval Research of the Union Government; Director of Equipment Design and Development Department; Academician of the Union Academy of Sciences ......"

Good fellow, a bunch of glittering titles on his business card would have blinded Roy's eyes.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Major, I watched yesterday's game. Your ship-modification skills, especially those for Musashi, are impressive. How about it, are you interested in working part-time in the Equipment Bureau, I will give you the title of senior researcher. ”

"This ......"

"Rest assured, it won't affect your job. Besides, I don't dare to abduct the Navy's promising rookie Admiral to work as a coolie in the laboratory. We usually use e-mail to contact us. You don't need to do any fixed research, you just need to send a research report every month. ”

Seeing that Loy was a little tempted, Giovanni continued to throw the carrot.

"You take on this part-time job, and in addition to the additional grant, there is an additional benefit. Whatever new gadgets the equipment department has developed, you can try them out first. For example......

Professor Giovanni pulled out his tablet and showed a blueprint of the main gun in front of Roy.

"This is my newly designed 381mm triple naval gun, with a built-in Chaos Energy Enhancement Device, which can increase the energy reload of the gun, and increase the power and range of the gun. However, the disadvantage is that the shooting accuracy will be slightly reduced, and the barrel loss will be extremely large, and the service life will be reduced by one-third. ”

Oh? Could this be the legendary Italian cannon?

Although there are some shortcomings, if this technology can really improve the firepower of naval guns, it is still very valuable. Even a super battleship of the Yamato Musashi level is a bit inadequate when facing boss-level enemies such as "Oni" and "Hime" in the deep-sea habitat ship. Therefore, no Admiral will be overpowered.

Roy was already tempted. And the most important thing is that at this time, a row of task prompts suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Side Quest: Research! Study! Study! ”

"The mission triggers when you agree to Professor Giovanni's invitation to join the General Directorate of Naval Research."

"Mission goal: to make a certain contribution to the development and transformation of the ship's equipment, and obtain the title of special researcher."

"Mission reward: 1000 points. Plane recognition increased by 10%. ”

This side quest not only earns valuable points, but more importantly, it can improve plane awareness. This will allow Roy to exchange for rarer and more powerful items from the Plane Shop.

"Professor, I can't refuse your kind invitation. Is it really appropriate to just give me this kind of valuable artillery design data casually? ”

"It doesn't matter. This new Italian naval gun is the result of my private research, and I can give it to whoever I want. Giovanni waved his hand without mind, "Since you agreed to work part-time, I will notify the Personnel Department of the General Research Bureau to send you an employment contract." In two days at most, you'll be officially onboarded. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. ”
