Chapter 206: Question
Summer Night said as she drew on paper.
"First of all, it should have a through-deck large enough, with two catapults connected in parallel at the front of the deck, so that Xiu Ji can catapult two Strike Witches off at once; A barricade was set up at the rear of the deck for the witches to land; In the middle of the deck is the dispatch area, where the witches waiting to take off and the witches waiting to enter the hangar after landing are all in this area. ”
"Where's the bridge?" Yahab asked.
"The bridge is placed on the left edge of the deck and designed to be as small as possible so that it doesn't take up much deck space." Summer Night replied.
"I kind of get it." "You want to take as many Strike Witches as you can on a ship, and you want them to land as fast as possible." ”
The other party understood her thoughts so quickly, which made Xia Ye a little surprised: "That's right, if possible, I want to take 20-30 raiding witches in a mothership." ”
"But why do you bring so much? I remember you said that assault witches are mainly used for reconnaissance, and 2-3 are enough, right? Yaha asked.
"I originally planned to do the same, but according to the results of the test in the past two days, Xiu Ji's strength is greater than I thought, and the thrust of the thrusters is also higher than originally planned, that is, the Strike Witch can carry some more weapons, so that the whaling ship's attack range has suddenly expanded from the range of the whaling cannon to more than 100 nautical miles." Summer Night said.
Curran thought for a moment and said: "If you want to make the Strike Witch an offensive force, it is better to directly let them sign an attack contract, such as 'Flame Burst' is very suitable, the supply is sufficient, the price is not expensive, the power is high, and it is also long-range." ”
"Ah, that makes sense......"
Summer Night finds herself also affected by habitual thinking, and in this world, contracts are actually the more commonly used weapons.
"No matter how cheap the price of 'Flame Burst' is, the cost is still higher than that of the shells of the whaling cannon, so there is no advantage in attacking the witch in terms of attack cost." Yaha shook her head slightly, "However, the advantage in the attack range really cannot be ignored, whether it is chasing and killing a fleeing whale, or sneaking up on a lone whale." ”
After Yaha finished speaking, Chris, who had been thinking about the technical feasibility, spoke again: "I have one more question, what if there is a witch taking off and landing at the same time?" Can Xiu Ji deal with both sides at the same time? ”
This is also what Xia Ye is having a headache with: "I asked, but I can't do it." So, is there a contract that can serve a similar purpose? ”
Hearing her words, Chrissy smiled: "Yes, for the problem of landing, there is actually a contract that has a better effect than Xiu Ji. But if you want to use it, you have to change the design. ”
"Huh?"
"And, personally, I think the changed plan would be even better." As she spoke, Chrissy picked up her pen and drew her own plan underneath the sketch of the summer night.
Although she had drawn it with her bare hands, the lines she drew were as straight as a ruler, and in a few moments a double-decked ship appeared on the paper.
"The upper part is still used for catapult take-off and pre-take-off preparation." "But the landing uses the lower deck, which, together with the walls on both sides and the upper deck, forms a tunnel-like confined space into which the strike witches fly in through the opening in the stern when they land. ”
"Why is it designed like this?" Xia Ye frowned slightly, she still couldn't understand the other party's thoughts.
Chrissy laughed again, "Because I'm going to use the 'Cobweb' contract to help the witches land, and the 'Cobweb' contract can only be used in a confined or near-confined place. ”
"Ah......" the summer night suddenly realized.
She had experienced the effects of "cobwebs" firsthand, not long ago in a meeting with Seventy-Four. When Chrissy mentioned it at this moment, she immediately discovered that "cobweb" was indeed a very suitable contract.
Cobweb:
Restrain all creatures within its radius, making them unable to move, cast, attack, defend, and [most] of actions other than the four types above.
The "web" effect on mobs is based on contract forces, not physical forces, so creatures affected by the effect will skip the deceleration in the middle and become stationary, no matter how fast they are originally in motion.
This means that the length of the landing deck can be designed to be very short, and the valuable space saved can be used for other purposes. But—
"The effect of 'cobweb' is only for creatures, and there are two thrusters on the legs of the Strike Witch, if the contract makes the witch stop instantly, the thrusters will be like suddenly hitting a wall, even if the cat witch has the protection of 'synchronous strengthening', but the thrusters will be damaged, right?"
Summer Night still remembers that at that time, when everyone was trapped in the "cobweb", Curran's prosthetic hand was still free to move and even launch missiles.
Chrissy nodded: "If you want to use the 'cobweb' contract, this is really a problem, and it's not only this one - the cobwebs will prohibit almost all actions of creatures, but this effect is too strong for us, we only need the effect of 'can't move', and we only need one or two bindings, instead of 'all creatures within range' in the original clause." So, what we need is actually a 'spiderweb' contract with adjusted terms, and since most of the adjustments are weakened or canceled, the magic required to sign is expected to be lower than the original. ”
"Adjustment Clause...... How do I do this? ”
Although Xia Ye already knew that the terms of the contract could be adjusted, the "rift" on her body was modified by Su Sha, and the "Soul Return" was modified by no one, and they were not normal changes. Now that Chrissy mentioned this, she couldn't help but wonder what she would have done under normal circumstances.
The person who answered was Curran: "The method of making and adjusting the contract is in the hands of Shangcheng, and it stands to reason that these things can only be done in Shangcheng, but there are exceptions to everything, I know a guy in the black market, she can do this, although the price will be higher, but since we are all going to build a ship for the Raid Witch, we don't care about this more Moor." ”
"Uh...... It seems that it really took a lot of magic for this idea of mine......" Summer Night was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the person who injected the capital is also you, which is equivalent to spending your own Moor." Curran laughed.
Xia Ye nodded approvingly: "Mmmm~"
"But there's another question that comes to mind." Curran continued.
“…… What's the problem? ”
When I first brought it up, I didn't think it, but now that I discuss it, Xia Ye realizes that there are as many holes in my ideas as there are holes in the sieve.
However, this is the normal situation - the traverser came up with an idea, and everyone immediately admired it - this kind of good thing should only be found in the inside.
"Problems with communication and positioning." Curran said, "It's easy to fly out of the Strike Witch, but how do you find the whaling ship when you get home?" Especially when the voyage is relatively long, by the time they fly back, the ship has already sailed hundreds of nautical miles away.
"The same problem will happen between witches, according to your imagination, after they fly in formation to the designated position, they need to disperse to all directions to investigate, so how do they converge after the reconnaissance?
"In addition, if the detected information cannot be transmitted to the rear in real time, the significance of the investigation is much smaller, and real-time communication is also needed between witches to share information."
Xia Ye also thought about these problems, but she originally thought that these problems should not be difficult to solve: "Isn't there a communication contract?" ”
"Yes, but there's a big problem with these kinds of contracts."
"Huh?"
"They need extra mana to communicate, and the farther away they are, the worse the communication environment, the more mana they need. If the distance between the two is 100 nautical miles in the Aetheric Sea, then each communication will probably cost hundreds of moles, or even more. ”
