Chapter 591 Future Fleet: Swordfish Reinvention
Thank you very much for the support of the monthly ticket in a bad mood~\(≧▽≦)/~
==========
Jianyu is an experimental spaceship, only three were produced in Pengzu, one of which was scrapped because of the use of Kong Huan and others; the other two were directly under the design bureau's verification and shipyard adjustment.

So, the one who really has the ability to move freely is the poor swordfish who was spoiled by Kong Huan and others.

But the so-called rebirth from the ashes, Jianyu is also reborn from the ashes this time:
After modifying the magnetic field power engine, because no one is using it for the time being (relaxing), and the new generation of warships of the friends has been designed, and the first ship is still under construction.

Friends are not human beings, but they still have to consider business issues. In order to deal with the future bug crisis, the first-generation airships that were confirmed to be not completely vulnerable were discontinued after less than a few years of existence.And in this neutral position where the production of the first generation has been discontinued and the second generation has not yet been tested, the number of first-generation airships that have been produced is sufficient for use, which is considered saturated.

Therefore, the shipyard workers who had nothing to do simply made a "Swordfish Type 01B Update Plan" to pass the boring time. (Of course I applied.)
So, when the 'Nightmare' woke up, he was ridiculed again, and the next day after accepting Lingxue and Chu Jie's advice at the stall that sold the first-class exotic food for the seniors, he took a Six members of the three houses of the government, plus the Supreme Council itself and five elder attendants formed a 6-member team, and when they went to the airport to receive the Swordfish, the Swordfish had completely changed its appearance.

Standing in the temporary dock port assigned to the shipyard by the airport, Kong Huan stared blankly at the huge steel ship in front of him: 150 meters long, with a maximum diameter of more than 20 meters, equipped with retractable 10-meter-wide flying wings, and a magnetic field engine like a spider It covered the entire hull like a net, and light blue light flowed from time to time on the standby engine, making the entire spaceship look luxurious and gorgeous.

Even the turrets distributed on both sides of the hull can't be connected with the warship representing death. On the contrary, it is more like a work of art. Of course, it doesn't want its original function of "civil fast ship".

(How should I put it? Is this not doing business properly?) Kong Huan couldn't help but want to complain, but seeing the expectant eyes of the shipyard transshipment personnel, he was a little uncomfortable to refute the other party. There is a saying: those who destroy people's good mood, die.

So, Kong Huan put on today's expression. (80% true)

"Is this the swordfish from before?"

"Strictly speaking, this should be a Jianyu 01B generation semi-pure magnetic field-powered airship."

The shipyard transfer personnel at the side reaped the vanity, looked at the expressions of Kong Huan and others with extreme satisfaction, and said happily: "This is the result of the hard work of our shipyard workers for three full months."

"First of all, we modified and perfected the magnetic field engine. Based on what you talked about with the technicians, Master Void, we improved the existing engine design, so that the use of the engine will no longer be closed to ordinary people."

"Then, we established the identity of the opponent's high-speed civilian/military dual-use spacecraft based on the capabilities of the engine, the capacity of the pumice, and our positioning of this type of spacecraft."

"Uh," Kong Huan's head was full of black lines, and he suddenly had a feeling, "Swordfish super evolved!"Swordfish 01B''s embarrassment: "What's the matter with civilian/military dual use?"

"That's what it means. Originally, Swordfish was just a civilian spaceship, but because Swordfish was not designed to have many passengers and the threat of bugs, we felt that relying on speed alone was not an option. If you want to attack, you must defend. Similarly, if you have defense, you must also defend." There is an attack."

"?"

"So, we have made a bunch of improvements now for the safety of passengers."

Listening to the show off of the transfer personnel, Kong Huan led a group of people to stroll towards the entrance of Jianyu.

Gently patted the steel on the hull of the spaceship, he clearly remembered that the Swordfish back then was still a wood-carved hull, but now it was an iron hull.And most importantly, the turret he saw from the side of the ship seemed to be a new type of non-closed electromagnetic gun muzzle.

"Hehe, Elder Void, for your safety, we combined the design of the battleship and used steel instead of wood carvings to fit on the steel keel of Swordfish. It is not as good as the second-generation warships under construction, but it also greatly improves the structural strength of Swordfish."

"How strong is it?" Kong Huan became interested.

"Very strong."

"..."

Unexpectedly, the transporter was a little cunning, Kong Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then glared at the other party depressedly: "Don't be cunning, be specific!"

"Hehe, Mr. Unreal may not know that the shell of the second-generation warship uses the latest alloy. When designing, we set the carapace defense strength of the Zerg Colossus to 1 for the convenience of calculation; while the second-generation warship The hull of the swordfish reached 2; this Swordfish 01B has a strength of about 1.5."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Although he didn't understand it, Kong Huan nodded approvingly.Moreover, taking the Zerg Colossus as the standard, the Colossus's armor can block the frontal bombardment of the 100mm city defense electromagnetic gun of the Pengzu, which shows that the armor strength of the battleship is already very good.

Of course, although it seems to be a bit difficult for Kong Huan, the Pengzu can only gain the basis for survival in the future if they do better.

"The Zerg's giant elephant is only a ground race, and no matter how strong the armor is, it can't reach a certain level. Therefore, you still have a long way to go, but it is worthy of praise to be able to achieve this level at this stage."

"Thank you elder for your compliment."

He replied lightly, and the transporter's fingers lightly brushed the smooth surface of the swordfish beside him, and continued: "Swordfish was designed with speed streamlined in mind, and the effect in the wind tunnel test is very good. After the modification The Swordfish 01B also inherited this point, because it only changed the outer shell instead of changing the body shape, after eliminating the upper limit of the speed, this child can burst out to a subsonic level, of course, you will know the result after that, Elder Void.”

"..."

The result is that the spaceship is lying in mid-air, which is still the best. If the flying altitude is too low, it is not impossible to hit the mountain head-on.

Kong Huan was sweating profusely.

However, this is still considered a great improvement, because fighting in the atmosphere is generally not bad at subsonic speeds. Besides, the floating ship is a floating battleship, not a floating fighter.

Nodding in satisfaction, Kong Huan then thought of a question: "Speaking of which, the energy consumption of the magnetic field engine is high, can the energy of Swordfish support it?"

"Ah, Elder Kong Huan really has a bright eye."

After wiping off the cold sweat, the transfer staff turned his head away with a sneer, and then his eyes flickered.

"To be honest, this is no small matter!"

"Yes!" The transporter trembled, and stood up to answer: "Since the energy storage capacity per unit volume of our family's electric nuclear is not large, and the energy consumption of the magnetic field power engine is extremely high, the 1 ton rechargeable As far as the stock of nuclear power is concerned, excluding the 0.1 ton power core needed to supply the pumice stone and the 0.3 ton power core required by the spaceship’s inherent components, the remaining power core energy can only maintain the swordfish to set the maximum speed of 5 on the table. hours of runtime."

Maybe it felt that this time was a bit short, and the transporter added: "Of course, if there is an energy body that can supply and replenish energy while ensuring its own stability, then it can last for another 10 minutes."

That 10 minutes was naturally ignored by Kong Huan.

"5 hours..."

"What about at cruising speed?"

"7 hours."

"That is to say, the current Swordfish 01B, if you don't consider increasing the nuclear capacity or increasing the energy storage capacity of the nuclear, it will stop after running for at most 7 hours."

"It's 7 hours and 10 minutes." The transporter added weakly.

"Well, it can only run for so long, right?"

"Yes." The transporter carefully touched the two index fingers.

It's too short, thinking about it, although I don't know the future battle situation, but with the number of bugs and the consumption of the electromagnetic gun, the spaceship may not be able to last for 2 or 3 hours, but such a short time may not be enough 10% against sea of ​​insects.

"By the way, have you calculated the swordfish's stamina in combat?"

"That, one and a half hours."

"what!"

"Because Swordfish is equipped with a new type of artillery turret. In order to enhance its power and versatility, the energy consumption of the turret is 1.2 times higher than that of the first-generation electromagnetic gun turret of the same type. Of course, the power is at least 2 times greater!"

"I see."

Covering his forehead depressedly, Wu Huan was thinking about whether to increase the electric nuclear stock of the battleship, or simply study nuclear power, but let’s not talk about the current technology of the friends or the research mode of Wu Huan, only the uranium mine, the double moon star is temporarily It was not discovered.

"By the way, what is the design endurance of the second-generation warship?"

This question seems to be a bit too much for an ordinary transporter, but the transporter actually nodded and answered: "The battleship has a running time of 21.3 hours at the highest speed; 35.7 hours at the cruising speed. In intensity combat, it will drop to 10.7 hours."

"How do you know?" Kong Huan shuddered. Although the other party was a transfer personnel of the shipyard, the Pengzu still had a certain secrecy mechanism for the second-generation warship.

"Master Kong Huan, don't worry, I am a middle-level technician in the Battleship Design Bureau, and I only came here because the Swordfish transformation reminded us."

"So that's it," Kong Huan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was not lying mentally, and then he was curious about how the second-generation warship was so long-lasting.

"Because 10 tons of load are reserved for nuclear equipment, and by the way, a wind turbine is also brought. If it is high in the sky, the engine can be shut down and rely on high-altitude strong winds to generate electricity."

"..." Kong Huan nodded in satisfaction, (as expected of a researcher of my friend clan, really smart!)
