"President, we are ready here and can open fire at any time." Sophie sent me a communication after the fleet was ready.

"You are the commander of the fleet now. I'm just a guest star here for a scout here temporarily. If you have any decisions, just make your own. Don't ask me."

"Okay." Sophie didn't be polite to me, and directly accepted my suggestion and began to direct the fleet operation.

Because the distance between the two sides is actually quite far, Sophie did not let the fleet cross over in order to pursue the maximum firepower density, but still allowed the fleet to maintain its current course and speed. After all the warships said that they had completed the preparation, Sophie immediately ordered the 1 main turret of the Klissana to be fired.

"Main turret No. 1, fire order confirmation. Load new bullets, one shot, fire immediately."

As the order was issued, the automatic loader in the turret immediately rolled up, and a small-looking shell was pushed out of the loader, and then followed the slide into the conveyor belt behind the barrel. Then a robotic arm pushed the shell on the conveyor belt into the barrel where the gun door was opened in front.

This shell is a calibration guide for calibration and fire. It does not use liquefied magic crystal steam sticking as explosives, but is filled with a very powerful magic gel. This kind of thing is like universal glue. No matter what solid substance is encountered, it will stick to it immediately. It takes a very troublesome process to clean it up and it takes a lot of time.

Of course, the function of this gel is not to stick the enemy's warship somewhere and prevent it from moving. After all, the sea water itself does not have the ability to fix it. Even if the gel covers the warship, it is impossible to stop the opponent from moving forward.

There are actually three real functions of this gel. First, it saves costs.

The price of liquefied magic crystal steam is very expensive. Even if the cannon of our guild is very high, it is unlikely that the first shot will hit during the shooting process. Therefore, the first shell will be almost 100% misfired. Then, since the shell is destined to not hit the target, it is obviously unreasonable to continue to use the expensive liquefied magic crystal steam shell. Therefore, this super cheap gel has become the first choice ammunition. After all, compared with a liquefied magic crystal steam shell that costs several thousand crystal coins per round. This shell that costs less than ten crystal coins per round is really cheaper.

In addition to the price advantage, this gel has another characteristic, which is that it has extremely strong shrinkage. This special shell for calibration fire can explode in the air. The power released by the central charge after the explosion will spread the gel. However, because of the super adhesive force of the gel, it will not be completely blown away. Instead, it will become a huge unfolded film. When any point on the film touches the warship, other parts around will be quickly pulled onto the warship and completely covered by the colloid according to the characteristics of the colloid itself. In other words, as long as this gel touches a little, it will cover a warship. This will ensure the maximum effective hit.

Of course, it is useless to hit the ground alone, because this gel is not only very difficult to clean, but it is not toxic, it is not corrosive, and it is not explosive. Such things actually do not have much deterrence. However, we have added some other things to the gel. This kind of crystal is made of magic-enhancing crystals produced by the scraps produced during the production process of magic crystals. Because this crystal is made of scraps, the particles are very small and can be fixed in the middle after being evenly added to the gels and will not fall off. When the gel is covered by the warship, these crystals will be glued together to the surface of the warship. Because of the characteristics of the gel, the enemy needs to get these crystals down at least into a dock and work hard for several days. It is basically impossible to get them off on the battlefield.

It was no big deal to be covered by some crystals on the warship, but these crystals had very special abilities. Everyone knows that magic crystals actually absorb free magic energy in nature to replenish their own energy, but low-level magic crystals do not have the ability to self-charge. It is not that they cannot absorb energy, but that their absorption speed is not as fast as they are, so unless they are in a high energy field, the total energy is always decreasing.

Although the characteristics of the low-level magic crystals of white magic crystals determine that they are almost impossible to use them again, we can make their scraps produce a different effect. The shattered crystal fragments are small pieces of white magic crystals, so they absorb energy like large pieces of white magic crystals. Moreover, the speed of the white magic crystals absorbing energy is actually only related to the surrounding energy density and their own surface area, but the speed of their energy loss depends entirely on their own mass. Therefore, for white magic crystals, the larger the mass, the faster their magic loss speed, because the proportion of their surface area to the total mass of the magic crystals inside is relatively low. On the contrary, the magic loss rate of small pieces of magic crystals will be much slower. Even if the white magic crystal fragments are small enough, it can even reach a balance, so that their magic power will always be stable at a level without rising or falling.

The crystal fragments we add to the gel are stable magic crystal fragments with a small enough volume to achieve the balance of magic energy absorption and loss. Because the surface area of ​​this fragment is relatively large relative to the internal volume, their absorption of magic energy will be relatively fast. Because the internal absorption and loss speed is above the equilibrium point, this magic crystal fragment becomes a small magic field generator that is constantly absorbing and releasing magic energy.

When a mage uses magic, it can be sensed in advance by other mages. This is achieved by relying on magic fluctuations. These magic crystal fragments that constantly absorb and release magic power are equivalent to small magic wave generators that constantly release magic fluctuations one by one. The warships of our guild are all equipped with dedicated magic wave capture equipment. In other words, as long as the opponent's warship is pasted by this magic crystal fragment, we can track and locate its exact location from a long distance.

By combining these things, you can know that our calibrated gel bomb is actually an automatic tracker. Although it can be cleaned up, the cost is extremely low, and at least in this battle, the enemy cannot clean it up. Therefore, this kind of thing is very useful.

As Sophie's order was issued, the npc gunner who operated the electromagnetic railgun immediately pressed the switch next to it, indicating that the loading was completed. Then the combat located under the bridge only allowed the operators in the room to adjust the angle and direction of the cannon according to the shooting parameters.

The Chris Dyna obviously inherited the consistent design characteristics of the guild's large warships, that is, all cannons have two operating systems, one is located inside the bridge and under the protection of heavy armor. It is next to the communication room and is the core of the battleship. During normal combat, all the firepower on the warship is controlled uniformly here. Of course, if it is destroyed or there is a problem with the line, the personnel in the turret can also use manual operations.

Now that the Klissina has not officially participated in the war, it is natural that there is no problem with the operating system. The combat command system is still under the responsibility of the Combat Command Center in Cambridge. As the green light of the representative loading lights up, the operator quickly adjusted the shooting parameters. Then he directly pressed the launch button.

As the button of occurrence was pressed, a circle of blue runes suddenly appeared at the bottom of the barrel of the electromagnetic cannon on the left side of the turret No. 1, and the blue rune lines began to spread forward quickly along the inner wall of the barrel. Finally, dense blue runes were lit from the bottom of the barrel to the muzzle. With the appearance of these runes, a buzzing sound began to gradually appear inside the barrel, and a large number of arcs jumped back and forth in the inner wall of the barrel, as if they would erupt at any time.

This state is complicated, but in fact it is only a little over a second. When all the runes are lit up, a green magic array at the bottom of the shell was suddenly lit up, and the shell that was originally sunk at the bottom of the gun barrel suddenly floated up, and slowly trembled on the central axis of the gun barrel. After the shell was completely suspended, the green at the bottom suddenly began to become brighter and brighter, and the shell began to rotate slowly on the spot and the speed was getting faster and faster. After two seconds, the suspended shell had entered a high-speed rotation state, and at this time the blue runes inside the entire gun barrel suddenly flashed violently, and a large number of dazzling arcs appeared behind the projectile in an instant. At the same time, the projectile seemed to turn into a lightning bolt and flew out of the chamber, instantly crossing dozens of kilometers to the sky above the fleet ahead.

After a not-so-strong explosion, the shell that suddenly appeared exploded directly in the air. The dispersed yellow gel suddenly opened and turned into a large net full of holes with a diameter of at least 200 meters. At the same time, it continued to fly forward at a forty-five degrees angle to the sea.

Because the shells appeared too suddenly, the fleet here was not prepared at all. The suddenly opened gel hit the stern of a warship in less than a second, and then the remaining gel automatically contracted to cover the tail of the warship due to tension. Not only did it successfully cover the tail end of the warship, but it also accidentally wrapped around the propeller of the warship. As a result, the warship began to slow down to the naked eye and gradually began to leave the formation.

There was no flag-speaking exchange in the fleet below, but the fleet responded. Immediately, several ships began to leave the formation and form a new formation with the slowed warship, while the other warships moved closer to form a main fleet and continued to move forward.

It is obvious that the other party has some communication means to communicate instead of flag language. But it should be true. Our guild's crystal communicator has been used for so long, and others must have discovered some useful communication technologies. However, it should be difficult to find a communication technology that is as flexible and changeable as ours for the time being. However, warships are large enough, even the most bulky communication equipment should be installed.

When the other party just started to adjust the formation, I had already informed Sophie about the changes here. Of course, Sophie immediately began to issue instructions to a ship.

The three front main turrets of the Chris Dyna began to replace liquefied magic crystal steam shells at the same time. Unlike the previous caliber projectiles that were obviously much smaller than the barrel, this time they were replaced with real liquefied magic crystal steam shells, which were at least seven or eight times larger than the previous ones. The diameter of the previous shells was only thirty centimeters. Although it was already very large in shells, it still seemed too small compared to this one-meter-65-caliber gun barrel. The liquefied magic crystal steam shells loaded this time were different. This is a regular large cloud bomb for the main ships, with each diameter of more than one meter and two meters. The shells do not have eggshells and launching medicines, only one warhead, and the length is more than two meters. Such a large shell weighs several tons, and it is filled with liquefied magic crystal steam. You can imagine how powerful this thing is.

"The reloading was completed." The combat command center did not launch it immediately after receiving the notice, but directly asked Sophie in the bridge above her head.

Sophie did not hesitate and directly ordered the fire. The operator below immediately pressed the launch button and immediately fired six main guns on the three turrets at intervals of 0:5 seconds. After the six blue arcs that flew out, the opposite fleet was almost shot at the same time.

The speed of an electromagnetic railgun is completely different from that of an ordinary gun. The speed of the shell is amazing. Although it is incomparable to the speed of light, on earth, this speed is actually at its limit.

Because I don't know the power of the shells for the time being, the six front main guns of the Krissina were all aimed at one target and firing. As a result, the six shells hit the marked battleship almost in no particular order.

I first saw six relatively small explosions. Then I saw the warship suddenly turned into a vast white area, a magic crystal steam cloud spread from high-density liquefied magic crystal steam. Then, I saw that something like cloud suddenly flashed. A circle of round waves on the sea surface instantly spread out, and the violent strong light instantly made me block my eyes with my hands. When I looked below, I saw a huge white mushroom cloud slowly rising up, which was a cloud formed by the vaporized sea water. Below, there was only a little black metal fragment left on the warship.

There was no damage, no break, and no explosion. The explosion power of the liquefied magic crystal steam shell actually directly bombarded the opponent's warship into the bottom of the sea. I didn't see how the opponent's warship was damaged. This power can no longer be said to be huge, it was simply crazy!

"President, how is the effect? ​​Did you hit it?" Because I haven't reported the situation for a long time, Sophie couldn't help but ask.

I recovered from my shock when I heard Sophie's words, and then swallowed a little before I began to say, "All six shells hit. As for the power, it's like a small nuclear bomb. The opponent's warship was shot directly into the seabed, and I didn't see how it sinks! This power was so terrifying. In just one second, I blinked my eyes and the entire warship disappeared!"

What surprised me was that Sophie was not too surprised by the result, but nodded directly and said, "It looks like I thought."

"You know this is the result?"

Sophie admitted: "I have seen it when testing the cannon before. This situation is reasonable."

"Then do you use six shells at a time? Is liquefied magic crystal steam worthless?"

"I don't know the actual effect, do I want to practice it?"

"Then you have practiced it now. In the future, when dealing with enemy warships, you will only have double guns to fire at most. Don't play this kind of fire-raising, it's too wasteful of ammunition!"

"Okay president. Oh, by the way, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

"The designers of the Clissina said that our warships have not been tested in command systems in complex naval combat situations, so we may not attack again in a while."

"No attack? Are you going to wait for the beating?"

"No, we want to narrow the distance between the fleet and then carry out a mixed battle with multiple warships."

"You decide this for yourself. I have said that I will make a temporary guest appearance, and you are the commander of the fleet."

"Oh well."

The so-called test command system is actually to let the warships see if the command system is busy when they are attacked from both sides. Because the warships of our guild are taking the elite route, the number of warships in front-line guilds has never been suppressed in terms of quantity. Although the warships of our guild are indeed large in scale compared to those small and medium-sized guilds, compared with those large guilds of real maritime powers, our number of warships is not superior. Of course, not having an advantage in quantity does not mean that our combat effectiveness is not superior.

Because all the warships of our Frost Rose Alliance are unified command systems, the combat effectiveness is far better than the enemy fleet during combat. Moreover, the warships of our guild have always had an advantage in artillery range. Therefore, we can usually fly kites outside the enemy's range, and then use the cannonball rain to directly knock out the opponent's battleships one by one. Anyway, the opponent's range cannot hit us, but we can hit them, and their speed is not as fast as ours.

Because our guild's fleet has always used this tactical method of fighting with less, our combat methods have always relied on our command system. In over-visual attacks and winning with less, command is very important, so our warships must test whether this command system can adapt to the combat capabilities of new warships.

Because it is necessary for the fleet to test this command system to get closer, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting. Of course, it is just that we stopped shelling, because the other side has not even known where we are.

Although we don't know our specific location, the other party was sunk a warship after all. So the remaining warships have all entered a serpentine maneuver. Although this kind of navigation will increase the range and slow down the ship's speed, it is very beneficial to avoid long-range strikes. After all, if the warships are constantly serpentine, the course will not be predicted. If the shells fly for a long time, the probability of shooting deviation will be greatly increased. Of course, the other party actually doesn't know that it is useless to do this, because our warships use electromagnetic rail guns, at the speed of this thing. At this distance, the shells will not exceed five seconds from leaving the muzzle to hit the target. At such a short time, they can't do anything at all at the speed of the warship, so they thought they were serpentine maneuvering and had to give up long-range artillery, but in fact, we took the initiative to stop the artillery from being fired to testing the command system.

As the distance between the two sides became closer, the other party's lookout finally saw our fleet.

"Report, the target was found right ahead." On the flagship in the fleet, the lookout hand responsible for observing the enemy situation suddenly screamed.

Because our guild's fleet and the Japanese fleet had fought many large-scale naval battles before, guilds around the world are now paying attention to our guild's fleets. For example, the warships of our guild are equipped with super-large-caliber sight-seeing equipment on the top of our guild's warships, which cannot be kept secret at all. After all, the thing is too large and can be seen directly from a distance. Our warships are swaying all over the world, so naturally many people know that our warships are equipped with this sight-seeing system.

Considering that there is no radar in the game and the effect of aerial reconnaissance is quite limited, everyone knows the benefits of this kind of sighting equipment. Since we know the benefits of this kind of thing, other guilds are not stupid, of course they will imitate it. It’s a pity that even our Frost Rose Alliance cannot produce it, and can only be imported from the Iron Crusader. Therefore, those guilds actually cannot make such a large sighting lens.

The larger the diameter of the sight sight, the more light it receives, the more you can find the target at a longer distance. This principle is very simple, but the problem is that the grinding of the lens is a non-high-precision work. So far, even our guild can only ensure the production of sight sight lenses with a diameter of less than two meters. If they are larger, they are purely taking a chance. It would be good to produce one or two qualified ones in ten lenses. In comparison, the five-meter-level sight sight sight sight of the Iron Crusader is like a cheater-opening thing. We don’t even dare to think about how they made it. Other guilds are helpless about this thing.

The fleet that was fighting with us on the other side was actually not a garbage fleet. Their warships were all equipped with advanced sight sight systems, but unfortunately their sight sight diameter was much smaller than that of ours. As a new warship, the Chris Dyna naturally had to use a special sight sight system, so it was equipped with a six-meter-caliber view sight sight. Even Ashufude themselves cannot guarantee the output of this thing, and the production of dozens or hundreds of waste products often appears. Therefore, the price of this thing is definitely shocking. However, because it is large enough, the observation distance of this thing is definitely not comparable to that of the other party's sight sight system. However, the other party also has an sight sight system after all, so they finally discovered our fleet far enough, but what they didn't know was that our fleet had actually stared at them for a long time.

After reaching the report of his watchman, a player in the other party's flagship command room immediately shouted excitedly at the window of the sighting equipment room above his head: "Report the parameters of the other party's warship."

"Measure parameters. The length of the opponent's warship... length..."

"How long is it? Why are you stuttering?" the commander of the fleet below urged anxiously.

After swallowing his saliva, he calmed down a little and said, "The estimated length of the opponent's warship is more than 950 meters, no more than 1,050 meters."

"What?" The command room below was filled with exclamations. Although the warships in the game can generally be built very large, this data is still too scary. What is the concept of a warship of a thousand meters long? It is simply a floating island! You know that even if two aircraft carriers meet head to tail, they are not a thousand meters long.

"Are you sure you didn't read the ruler wrong?" a commander asked loudly.

The lookout hand answered with certainty: "Yes, it's this data. Unless there is a problem with the equipment, the readings will definitely be fine."

After hearing this answer, the officer immediately turned to the fleet commander beside him and said, "Highs, I think that the fleet we encountered this time was probably the Frost Rose League fleet."

The commander named Haggs did not speak, but walked directly to his command position and sat down and tied his seat belt, then said, "We knew what our purpose was when we came out of the port. Since we had encountered it now, are you going to be stage fright? This battle will happen sooner or later, why be timid because we were a little bit ahead of time?"

Haggs' words made everyone in the bridge silent. A few seconds later, one of the guys who seemed to have a good status suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, and said, "Higes is right. We knew when we came out. We would definitely have friction with the Chinese this time, so we will have a battle with the Frost Rose Alliance fleet sooner or later. The ones that came out this time were our latest warships. Even if the Frost Rose Alliance battleships were higher in performance, they would not be much more advanced than our fleet. And have you forgotten? The Frost Rose Alliance battleships are best at conducting long-range shelling outside the visual range. Now that the other party has entered our maximum range, we can fight back. What else do you have to hesitate about in this result?" After the guy finished speaking, he opened the Cambridge gate and walked out, then jumped directly from the spiral ladder and flew to a warship next to him.
Chapter completed!
