062 Arms in place
In addition to manned vehicles, a warship is just a weapon platform, a carrier of weapons, and weapons are the essence of their lethality.
Wang Fei and his team now have the hull of the warship, but only the weapons are missing.
How to equip it to maximize its combat power?
This is a problem.
For this reason, Xiu Pi and Wang Fei had a whole day and tried many samples with the remaining materials at hand, and finally decided on some modification plans.
First of all, close-range firepower delivery weapons.
Wang Fei looked at the materials at hand and thought about it, but in the end he still felt that it would be better to be simple and crude with the existing conditions.
On the wasteland, the simpler and rougher the thing, the stronger the vitality.
Why do you say so?
Because the precious weapons have been washed away by a hundred years, they have been broken and cannot be broken any more.
Not to mention how difficult it is to repair it, even if it costs a huge cost to repair it, maintenance is a big problem.
Although the damage power and killing efficiency of energy weapons made Wang Fei very envious, based on the wasteland situation, he decided to equip his warship with conventional kinetic energy weapons, and even use electromagnetic weapons as little as possible!
After determining the general direction, it depends on what appropriate materials are on hand.
Since Wang Fei began to demolish the internal compartment of the wreck, he and Xiu Pi discovered many spaces that were previously inaccessible due to the crash, and found many surprises inside.
The biggest one is an ammunition depot located in the front and center of the port side of the wreck.
At that time, Wang Fei used his mental power to sense the internal situation, and hesitated for a while, and finally led the robot to break through the passage at the risk of dying.
The final harvest was also very gratifying. The entire half of the ammunition depot's large shells were scattered inside, bringing great wealth to Wang Fei.
Why do starships like Fenaña have conventional chemically driven shells?
This is related to the national conditions of the Feiyali Empire.
This empire started with steelmaking, and its best technique is to forge various advanced alloys, especially gun barrel alloys.
Coupled with the lack of energy weapon technology, the country's path to becoming rich was towards the flow of large ships and giant cannons.
So much so that the various giant cannon technologies in this country are extremely advanced and extremely popular.
As the Fiari Empire was in line with the international community, advanced energy weapons and technology were obtained from the Sigra people, and the disadvantages of chemical artillery were undoubtedly revealed.
The Fiari warship can only be modified in electromagnetization or replaced with energy weapons.
As a tradition, chemical energy cannons are preserved in small quantities.
But the arrival of the Zerg changed all this.
The Zerg has an overwhelming numerical advantage, and it also has the abnormal ability of Void Teleportation.
Although the energy weapons have a long range and are powerful, the insects rely on the teleportation of the void to directly ride their faces.
In this way, the range advantage of energy weapons is gone.
In addition, there are too many insects and energy weapons too expensive and not strong enough. Both sides are often in full swing, so the human race will be silent first.
This painful situation makes the energy weapon very embarrassing.
The energy weapon originally positioned as a high-end battlefield was disgusting by the Zerg who had a life-threatening life. What should I do?
At this moment, the veteran who was thrown into the museum returned!
Isn't your energy weapon precious? We have a mechanical structure and we are so sturdy. As long as there is enough ammunition, you can hit it until the explosion~
Isn't your energy weapons burning money? Our ammunition is cheap. You can fill the ammunition warehouse with just a little money. It's so hard to fight~
Don’t you despise us from hitting close, maybe you have the head? Haha, the bugs are all pressed on my face, I can hit you even if I close my eyes!
What, you say we are not powerful enough?
Of course, it’s not easy!
In this way, due to the invasion of the Zerg, the Fiyali giant cannon returned to the stage and was urgently equipped on a large number of warships.
The sharp drop in production and maintenance costs allowed the Fiari Empire fleet to launch a meat grinder-like battle with insects. Although it was still defeated in the end, it was also the group that had been persisted in the longest among many civilizations...
...
This Fenaña class was a product of that era.
In order to reduce the cost, not only was the 400-long battleship crew of only 52 people, but there was no other energy weapon except a double-mounted ion cannon on the head of the ship.
The remaining other artillery is also quite simple and crude, very much in line with Wang Fei's situation.
After finding a large number of shells in the ammunition depot, Wang Fei had the idea of loading the shells.
The caliber of these shells is too large. If they were used on their own boat, they would be overturned without a single shot.
According to his needs, he created four firepower projection artifacts from the Earth Age.
Vulcan cannon!
Each near-proof gun has a diameter of 30mm, 4 gun barrels, and a power level of 1.2.
Each is installed on the four corners of the warship, with no shooting dead corners, and can be loaded into the hull to prevent damage to the harsh environment.
Near-defense guns are easy to build, but the massive amount of ammunition is a big problem.
To this end, Wang Fei and Xunsie began to dismantle the shells in the wreckage, and then used the dismantled raw materials to produce 30mm shells.
Fortunately, there is enough inventory in the shipwreck and Wang Fei is not short of production equipment. A large amount of qualified ammunition is produced and transported to the warship.
The only thing that hurts a little is that the launching medicines from large-caliber shells in the shipwreck are too powerful and are a bit overpowering for small-caliber ammunition.
So much so that Wang Fei had to reduce the charge of his own ammunition and at the same time reduced the barrel of the Vulcan cannon from 7 to 4, which perfectly solved the problem.
Such guard firepower is considered to be correct, and the next is long-range firepower.
To this end, Wang Fei specially designed a dual-equipped 75mm caliber electromagnetic gun.
The caliber was chosen to be 75mm because the near-defense guns on the wreck also had the same caliber and the ammunition was ready-made; and Wang Fei's electromagnetic gun also adopted the principle of reconnecting cannons.
That is, the shells obtain initial speed by firing drugs, and then accelerated by the electromagnetic coil twice, and finally obtain ultra-high kinetic energy to destroy the enemy.
This electromagnetic turret is also liftable and lowered. It is usually hidden under the deck on the top of the battleship. After it rises, it has a 360° shooting boundary. It is mainly used to eliminate high-value targets or high-defense targets, with a power level of 2.0.
It is worth mentioning that the power 2.0 is not low.
Because every 1 point increase in energy level will have a significant jump, that is, the difference between 1.9 and 2.0 is more than 1.8 and 1.9.
The [Longbow] sniper rifle with the same launch principle has a 12mm caliber and a power of only 1.5, while the [VK-21] is only 0.7, and it is reasonable to have a 30mm near-proof gun driven only by chemical energy.
In addition to the electromagnetic cannon that kills, Wang Fei will certainly not forget the insects' unique skills - the insect sea tactic.
For this reason, he also dismantled the remaining missiles in the missile depot!
