Chapter 136: Flagship!
Under Zhang Heng's recommendation, Rocky looked at at least six or seven reconnaissance ships before finally making a decision.
"Airship Type 6, that's it. ”
"Lord Rocky, you really have good eyesight!"
Seeing that Rocky had finally made a decision, Zhang Heng immediately praised him, and most of his praise was naturally for flattery, but the other half was also sincere.
Because the airship 6 reconnaissance ship that Lodge finally chose is indeed a very distinctive model among the third-generation reconnaissance ships.
As the smallest level and the weakest combat effectiveness of a kind of warship, the reconnaissance ship does not have many advantages of its own, and the only advantage that can be regarded as an advantage is probably the speed is not bad, and the airship type 6 reconnaissance ship selected by Lodge is precisely the representative of the speed advantage to the extreme.
The airship series has a very resounding name in the category of reconnaissance ships, and its biggest feature is its speed.
In the case of full acceleration, this series of reconnaissance ships can reach one and a half times the speed of ordinary reconnaissance ships, and after the development and improvement of previous generations, the series has been quite perfect when it develops to the 5th model, as for the Lodge Choice Type 6 is the ultimate model of this series in the 3rd generation of warships, and the 7th type is the 4th generation warship.
He believes that it is a fool's errand to ask too much for the reconnaissance ship to have firepower and defense, because the type of reconnaissance ship itself limits its firepower and defense, even if various shipyards try to strengthen these two aspects, but even the latest fifth-generation reconnaissance ship still has no breakthrough.
In this way, it is better to focus on speed, because speed is also a core element in air combat, the faster the speed, the more flexible, and the more flexible it is, the more difficult it is to be hit by magic cannons, which is still easy to understand.
It's just that although the speed of the airship type 6 is very fast, the firepower and defense are really slightly insufficient, this type of reconnaissance ship is only equipped with four magic cannons with a magic power of 400, and the defense network equipped on the ship is also the most ordinary, not only is it not an independent magic stone to provide magic energy, but the defense power is only 300 points, which can be said to be quite pitiful.
But in the same way, the price of the airship 6 is also very cheap, Zhang Heng's price is 28,000 gold coins per piece, and it is ninety percent new, such a cheap price is also an important reason to impress Rocky.
28,000 gold coins for a reconnaissance ship, Rocky plans to buy fifteen at a time, so that the remaining gold coins in his hand can still have about 150,000, these gold coins are enough for him to buy another warship!
Yes, this time Lodge is not just going to buy a few reconnaissance ships, he is also going to buy a real battleship, a real big guy!
Therefore, after finalizing the matter of the reconnaissance ship with Zhang Heng, Rocky explained his plan to him, and Zhang Heng was naturally one hundred and eighty willing.
"Lord Rocky, look at it, I was ashamed to brag in front of you just now, but I didn't expect you to think it out for a long time, the reconnaissance ship is equipped with a large warship, this is the most popular fleet configuration today. ”
"What kind of large battleship are you going to want? Are you going to have a flagship?"
"This ...... Does it make a difference?"
For the battleship, Rocky didn't know as much as the Air Demon Armor, after all, he only paid attention to the floating battleship after the end of the last mission, so Zhang Heng's words still made him a little confused.
Of course, Rocky knows what flagship means, but looking at Zhang Heng's appearance, the flagship in his mouth seems to be different from the flagship in Rocky's imagination.
Actually, it's different.
I only heard Zhang Heng then said: "Rocky City Lord, you may not know that the flagship as a command is a core role in any fleet, which makes the flagship easy to become the first target for the enemy's attack, and in order to solve this problem, when designing large warships, various shipyards will design the flagship version of this model in addition to the ordinary model." ”
While speaking, Zhang Heng had already taken Rocky to a huge battleship: "Rocky City Lord, do you remember the frigate that the Chamber of Commerce gave you?"
"Scavenger Type 1 frigates, what's wrong?"
Of course, the frigate Rocky presented by the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce remembers, and even the model clearly.
Zhang Heng smiled at his accurate answer, and then pointed to the battleship beside him: "My lord, this battleship is the flagship version of the Defender 1 type." ”
"This one? won't it......"
Subconsciously glanced up at the one beside him, and Rocky gradually grew his mouth.
The frigate Rocky given by the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce liked it very much, so not only did he personally see it when it was delivered, but he also personally boarded the battleship before returning to Thunderhawk City, and in his plan, this Scavenger 1 frigate was his future flagship, and even the name had been thought of, called Thunder Eagle.
This kind of liking makes Rocky know a lot about the Scavenger 1 frigate, but at this time, the frigate that Zhang Heng introduced to him is completely different from the Scavenger 1 type, first of all, this battleship is larger, the hull has reached 130 meters, at least more than 20 meters longer than the Scavenger 1 type, and secondly, the number of magic cannons on this frigate is also more, not to mention 20 guns!
This huge difference makes it hard for Rocky to believe that the frigate in front of him is a Scavenger 1.
But as Zhang Heng introduced, this is indeed a Scavenger Type 1 frigate, the difference is only that this is the flagship version.
"Lord Rocky, as the flagship, this battleship is naturally a little different from the ordinary Scavenger Type 1, as you can see, the hull of this battleship is larger, and there are more magic cannons on it, with the addition of two main cannons and seven secondary cannons, making the total number of magic cannons reach twenty-two, and the firepower is very powerful. ”
"At the same time, the armor of this battleship is also thicker, even without opening the defensive net, the hull of the ship is enough to withstand the attack of a magic cannon with a magic power of less than 500, and if the defense net is opened, then a magic cannon with a magic power of less than 1000 will not be able to defeat this big guy at all. ”
"How much is this battleship, I want it!"
With Zhang Heng's introduction, Rocky was immediately moved by the flagship version of the Scavenger Type 1 and immediately decided to buy it!
In his opinion, this flagship is simply fantastic, not only has strong firepower, but also has very strong defense, and as the lord of a city, he should be a big guy like this to command the battle!
Of course, the idea of buying this battleship was not all impulsive, and he was actually thinking about the next battle with Baron Walling.
In Baron Walling's fleet, the main force is also reconnaissance ships, and Zhang Heng's previous introductions have made Rocky have a very comprehensive understanding of reconnaissance ships, and it is very clear that even the latest fifth-generation reconnaissance ships are very limited in terms of firepower, and it is impossible to configure magic cannons with magic energy powers of more than 1000 on board, that is to say, if you buy the big guy in front of you, then in the battle with Baron Walling, this big guy with strong defense is not equivalent to being invincible?
That's the heart of his thinking.
"Lord Rocky, you really have a good eye!"
Seeing that Luo Qi was so tempted by this battleship, Zhang Heng naturally immediately showed a bright smile on his face: "My lord, the price of this battleship is 150,000 gold coins. ”
"150,000 for a new ship?"
"No, it's the price of a second-hand ship, eighty percent new. ”
When Rocky, who was originally in high spirits, heard this price, he felt as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his face, because this price was too expensive!
He had already ordered fifteen search and reconnaissance ships before, and more than half of the gold coins in his hand had been spent, and now there were about 150,000 gold coins left, so if he bought the flagship in front of him, there would really be no penny left......
"Erin, you come to talk to Steward Zhang about this. ”
Gritting his teeth, Rocky finally decided to buy this flagship, although the price of this flagship is expensive, although the same price is enough to buy five reconnaissance ships, but the combat capability of such a flagship is far more than five reconnaissance ships! So Rocky must buy it.
It's just that he doesn't need to talk about this kind of thing, and naturally there is a more professional Erin to help him.
And as soon as he saw Rocky call Erin to his side, the expression on Zhang Heng's face froze, the previous deal was negotiated between him and Erin, so Zhang Heng knew very well that this little girl in front of him who didn't look old was extremely difficult.
On the other hand, Erin, who was called forward, smiled after seeing Zhang Heng, it felt as if she was staring at some prey, and Zhang Heng broke out in a cold sweat......
