Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

As the 3 patrol boat upgrade props were placed on the table, a huge golden light suddenly rose on the table, shrouding the upgrade props, and at the same time, the system’s prompt message also sounded in Ye Bai’s ears:

[Detected that the player has provided a sufficient number of patrol boat upgrade items, the ship upgrade program is starting, please wait…].

[The ship upgrade program has been successfully activated, the player’s patrol boat is being upgraded to a gunboat, and the upgrade progress is 1%… 5%… 10%……】

[The ship has been upgraded successfully, the player’s patrol boat has been successfully upgraded to a gunboat, and the relevant attributes can be viewed by themselves in the system panel, I wish players a happy game.] 】

After the upgrade was completed, the golden light that shrouded the entire table top also disappeared, and Ye Bai took a closer look and found that the original patrol boat model on the table had disappeared, replaced by a larger gunboat model.

Some excitement opened the system panel, which already showed the new properties of the upgraded Yanhuang:

[Yanhuang – gunboat].

【Displacement: 230 tons】

[Speed: 6 knots (can be increased to 12 knots after replacing the power equipment)].

[Equipment: 2 75mm deck guns, 1 M2HB12.7mm heavy machine gun].

[Armor: 1200/1200].

Seeing this attribute panel, Ye Bai’s face suddenly collapsed, what is the situation, this upgrade is too powerless, in addition to the tonnage and armor upgrade, the weapons are still the same as before, there is no change at all.

And the original speed of 10 knots has been reduced to 6 knots because of the tonnage increase after the upgrade, although there are remarks, after replacing the power equipment, the speed can be increased to 12 knots, but this costs money.

Check the system mall, the 4SD-19/32 diesel engine suitable for gunboats, one needs 10,000 pieces, and if you want to increase the current Yanhuang to a speed of 12 knots, you need 2 such diesel engines, which is enough to need 20,000 yuan.

Looking at his money balance of only 3,800 yuan, the expression on Ye Bai’s face became even more frustrated, and this is only power equipment, and the price of weapons is not low.

A 102mm 45 caliber Mk-VII rapid-fire gun costs 30,000 yuan to buy, plus a close-in cannon and heavy machine gun, and it takes more money to upgrade the Yanhuang’s weapons and equipment.

Ye Bai, who was not in a very beautiful mood, glanced at it again, only to find that the cockpit had been integrated here from the previous floor, and a large chart table had been added in front of the desk where the gunboat model was placed, but the table was empty and there was nothing.

In the front is the original cockpit, where the recruited driver is operating the rudder and sailing the Yanhuang on the sea.

Through the huge transparent glass, you can clearly see the foredeck below and the blue sea, which is completely integrated into the bridge.

Without disturbing the driver who was concentrating on driving, Ye Bai went down the stairs to the first floor of the ship building, and found that the cabins here did not increase, but decreased, except for the logistics cabins that had been transformed by space spars before, there were only a few vacant cabins, waiting for Ye Bai to determine the specific function.

The previous galley, crew cabin, material warehouse, fuel storage tank, power cabin, power distribution cabin and other cabins were all placed below the horizontal deck, of course, these are only the preliminary planning given by the system during the upgrade process, and Ye Bai can also adjust it at will according to his preferences.

After all, the Great Navigation World is a game mode, and it is quite convenient to adjust the internal structure of the battleship.

Looking at the foredeck, watching the two gunners maintaining the 75mm foredeck gun, how Ye Bai saw how it was not pleasing to the eye, no way, put it on the patrol boat, although this deck gun pulled the crotch, but it is also appropriate, after all, there is limited space on the patrol boat.

But now that the Yanhuang has been upgraded to a gunboat, the space has become larger, and the deck gun that originally occupied nearly the general foredeck is so small and exquisite at this time, it is not worthy of the current Yanhuang.

There was an intention to replace this foredeck gun, which had many shortcomings, but he had no money in his hand, so he could only stay there and continue to obstruct his eyes.

[Detected that the player successfully upgraded the patrol boat to a gunboat, completed the system achievement, and obtained the achievement iron box, congratulations to the player.] 】

The system’s prompts always come so suddenly, so unexpectedly, but at this moment, Ye Bai has a smile on his face, no matter what is in this achievement package, but for Ye Bai now, the gift package represents a harvest, which is always a good thing.

Looking at the iron box that suddenly appeared on the front deck in front of him, Ye Bai couldn’t help but rub his little hands, wanting to open the box directly, this is a wooden box that is a grade higher than the iron box, and the things inside will definitely not be bad.

But before Ye Bai opened the iron box, a new prompt message from the system came:

[Since the player is the first player in the Great Voyage World to upgrade the patrol boat to a gunboat, get a special achievement reward, and the achievement iron box is upgraded to the achievement copper box, congratulations to the player.] 】

As soon as the system’s mechanized voice prompt was finished, the iron box on the deck suddenly flashed a golden light and turned into a copper box, which was much higher in appearance than the previous wooden box and iron box.

This unexpected joy made the smile on Ye Bai’s face a little deeper, and without any hesitation, he directly raised his hand and opened this achievement copper box.

[Congratulations to the player, open the system achievement copper box, get a twin 102mm naval gun, a sea search radar, money 15,000 yuan, congratulations to the player].

Picking up the two scaled-down models, Ye Bai’s face was happy and blooming, worthy of the copper box, this reward is rich, and he was directly rewarded with a 102mm twin naval gun that is currently the most suitable.

This naval gun is not only suitable for current gunboats, even if it is upgraded to the destroyer level or even the cruiser level in the future, it can still be used as a secondary gun, which is not a bad naval gun.

In addition to naval guns, there is also a sea search radar, although it can only search for sea targets, and can not do anything about air targets, but in the current period, it can be described as a big killer.

According to the system’s tips, at present, except for Ye Bai, other players are still at the level of the original patrol boat, all of them are surface ships, there is no air power at all, even if there is an air search radar, it is a waste.

The last 15,000 yuan also brought Ye Bai’s funds to 19,000 yuan, which was enough to buy another twin 102mm naval gun, of course, Ye Bai would not do this.

Without hesitation, open the system panel and operate directly on the Yanhuang in the warship plate, first of all, the two 75mm deck guns placed on the foredeck and aft deck were restored to the state of the model.
