Chapter 188: The Powerful Nine-Three-Type Oxygen Torpedo
"Get victory in a single ship battle and get 1,000 points of loot."
When the destroyer's single shoulder strap was recently over, a new notice appeared in Xu Xingchen's system.
Looking at the notice, Xu Xingchen suddenly realized that there were also spoils for the battle exercises.
In the battle between the Admiral's Mansion, there were 100 spoils in a single ship battle.
Now the battle between the Central Islands and the Longbow Islands is a single-ship battle that can directly get 1,000 points.
It increased tenfold at once.
Although it is unexpected, it is reasonable that the scale of the battle and the level of the enemy are completely different.
During the development of the Flying Eagle Islands and the cleaning of the Flying Eagle Bay, Xu Xingchen has accumulated a batch of spoils, and now the number of spoils he owns has once again exceeded 2,000.
Looking at these unexpected gains, Xu Xingchen also became happy.
Turn off the habit interface and look around again.
The ship girl and commander of the Longbow Islands have now recovered from the initial shock and then fell into chaos.
Needless to say, the audience in the audience is now in a mess, some people are shocked and exclaimed, some people question the dispute, and some people try to verify from the Marshal's Mansion.
The host and guests on the stage were also in obvious chaos.
Xili couldn't control his emotions and asked loudly at the little Chongqing beside him:
"What's going on with torpedoes? Why do they track targets?"
With Xi Li’s questions, the audiences everywhere also calmed down, and then they were nervously looking forward to the other party’s answers.
Most ship ladies and commanders took it for granted that the ship ladies in the Marshal's Mansion would not answer such questions, which should be considered a high degree of military secret.
But at the same time, I couldn't help but look forward to the other party being honest about it...
Then everyone listened to Xiao Chongqing's smile and explained:
"That is a wire-guided torpedo, with a cable following the torpedo, so that the launcher can control the rudder surface of the torpedo through the cable, thereby adjusting the direction of the torpedo."
Xili, the host, as well as two guests, and all the Longbow Island audiences, heard Xiao Chongqing's explanation and immediately exclaimed:
"Can you still do this!"
Shohe, a guest at the Changbow Islands at the scene, couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you need to use cables? Is radio guidance not possible?"
Hong Zehu, a guest of the Marshal's Mansion, shook his head and said:
"The propagation of radio in water is too much affected, and this torpedo will be used by submarines..."
Xianghe immediately reacted, and then the Shimafeng next to him said with some uncertainty:
"But this torpedo... has a range of more than 20 kilometers. Such a long cable, weight and volume, is not small. How can this achieve rapid collection and release?"
Little Chongqing said with a smile:
"That's a special cable, not an ordinary wire..."
Xiao Chongqing's explanation is just right, allowing the other party to see the effect of this weapon and then understand the basic principles, but there is no technology for imitation and production.
The wire guide torpedo uses optical fibers, and the other party’s technical level is not known what the network cable is, and it is impossible to achieve such long-distance control with a telephone cable.
Their technical level is already very powerful to be able to achieve sound waves, wakes, and magnetic torpedoes...
Although Xu Xingchen didn't know that he had made the arrangements, he actually did it inadvertently. He habitually let the ship girls show their abilities...
So the ship girls made good use of this battle, seemingly casual and actually intentional, and chose various different ways to achieve combat goals.
The three of the Island Feng and the audience immediately understood that the focus of this weapon was obviously on the cable.
The other party definitely doesn't know how to make this kind of cable. Even if you say it, it is impossible to explain it in a brief way.
So everyone gave up asking questions and silently thought and analyzed the role of this torpedo in naval warfare.
The torpedo that exceeds the effective range of the naval gun and can effectively hit the target is really terrifying.
Moreover, Japanese ship girls pay more attention to and beware of the powerful torpedoes than other ship girls.
Because they have "hugely powerful Type 93 acid torpedoes", specialized "mine teams", and specialized "heavy-thunder-mounted cruisers".
There is also the strongest lightning destroyer Island Wind carrying fifteen 610mm torpedoes...
Because during World War II, the Japanese attached great importance to torpedoes to a level of paranoidness.
According to the official information released by IJN, the best performance of the Type 93 oxygen torpedo is to sail continuously for 11,000 meters at a speed of 42 knots.
Most commanders will choose to launch the Type 93 torpedo at a distance of less than 10 kilometers.
Most of the sinking records of Type 93 torpedoes in the war were also set within 10 kilometers.
It can be considered that 10 kilometers is the effective killing distance of the Type 93 torpedo.
At that time, the major ship torpedoes of the British, American and other systems were between 5,000 and 7,500 meters, and the range advantage of the Type 93 torpedo was very obvious.
But now, they have seen torpedoes with a range of more than 20 kilometers on 50 knots, and they are guided torpedoes. Type 93 has become their younger brother now...
How can this not surprise them?
Amid the amazement and shock at the scene, the battle between the light cruisers also came to the beginning.
The voice of Luoyang, director and hosted, was once again spread on the exercise venues and auditoriums, as well as live broadcasts everywhere:
"The third single-ship battle, light cruiser battle, first game, the Marshal's Office's battleship girl, the frigate Yichang, and the Longbow Islands' battleship girl, the best."
As soon as the announcement came out, the shock brought by the torpedo was greatly alleviated, and various live broadcast areas also heard many exclamations.
This time, it was not just the exclamation of the Longbow Islands, but more of the exclamation of the Marshal's Mansion.
Xu Xingchen himself couldn't help it:
"What's the situation? How can it be considered a light patrol? Isn't she a heavy patrol?"
Osaka Taiji behind Xu Xingchen muttered helplessly:
"She can replace her triple-mounted 155mm main gun, which can be considered a light patrol. After all, the tonnage is not as good as Brooklyn and Cleveland..."
The highest-level is a naval treaty breach ship. The original main gun was five triple-mounted 155mm naval guns. According to the caliber standards of the naval treaty, it is barely considered a light cruiser.
However, her hull was originally designed with a heavy cruiser as its target, and the cannon mount and the Kaohsiung-class dual-mounted 203mm naval gun are universal.
Just to avoid supervision of the Navy Treaty, a 155mm naval gun was deliberately installed first, and it was named after a light cruiser, so that it did not occupy the quota of heavy cruisers.
However, when the Navy Treaty expired, it was immediately modified and replaced with a 203mm heavy cruiser and turned into a heavy cruiser.
