Chapter 54
Wei An really felt like he was going numb, numb.
Why can't the admirals in this world afford aircraft carriers? First of all, the price of carrier-based aircraft has limited the admirals' positioning of aircraft carriers.
Not all aircraft carriers have colorful bombers like the Hornet B25, let alone what Wei An explained through Langley's class.
The aircraft carrier's hangar in this world has an upper limit, and each type of carrier-based aircraft can provide a carrying capacity of 15 aircraft.
Just like the upper limit of the Hornet hangar is 87 aircraft, the B25 only has one B25 ship, so she can only have 15 B25s at the same time.
More still, other ships are needed to provide the remaining hangar cap.
Like this, the Hornet would need a fleet of six aircraft to fill her hangar.
The price of one [Comet] is 60W, the price of six bombers is 360W, and if it is a fighter, it is 180W.
Moreover, the loss of bombers that need to be close to the enemy's air defense belt is stronger than that of fighter aircraft, and the consumption of aluminum is also a bottomless pit.
Many admirals do not earn resources that fast. When there are other ship girls to support, the auxiliary positioning of air control and reconnaissance seems to be friendly to the meager resource stocks of the admirals.
And the most important thing is that aircraft carriers are also large battleships and are not as easy to build as destroyers and light cruisers.
Aircraft carriers are scarce and resources are consumed horribly, and unlike battleships, the main guns can be installed and used at any time.
Unless it is attacked, a cannon will consume some ammunition.
Perhaps the disadvantage is the hit rate of artillery fire when the training level is low, and a series of other issues, but considering that the hit rate of long-distance battles in naval battles is already very low.
It is not that many admirals cannot accept it.
The other admirals who originally envisioned the bomber group like Vian still can't forget the resentful look in Langley's eyes when he talked about the difference between aircraft carriers and battleships.
Because she is a light carrier girl.
Each ship girl has her own level of training, which is a reflection of their growth and the degree of mental liberation.
When the battleship girl's training level is low, the ship will drive slower and the cannons will fire more crookedly.
But the number of carrier-based aircraft they released at the same time was completely different.
An aircraft carrier with a training level of 1 can fly five aircraft at the same time, a level of 10 can fly ten aircraft at the same time, and 20 can fly 15 aircraft in sequence. Until the level of training exceeds 50, increasing the level of training by 1 adds one more aircraft..
A carrier girl with a training level of 100 can fly 80 carrier-based aircraft at the same time. At that time, the limit for aircraft carrier girls was the upper limit of their hangar.
Under the same circumstances, an aircraft carrier girl with a larger hangar will have a higher upper limit than a light carrier girl with high level of training.
But these problems are not problems for Wei An.
If it is difficult for the aircraft carrier sisters to level up, then go bomb the deep sea and spray aluminum and earn money for them. The hangar of the aircraft carrier sisters is not enough, so they should renovate it when the ship body is fully realized.
Other people's problems can be solved here at Wei'an.
But Wei An quickly came to his senses, now knowing the energy and cost required for most ship equipment.
He could finally start planning properly.
Now the most important thing is!
Help Yukikaze replenish the remaining ship equipment, earn enough resources for Yukikaze's current ship equipment, and then find reputation as soon as possible to accept the patrol commission, while hiding his ability to make ship equipment outside.
Reasonably sell part of the ship equipment.
So what Wei An needs to do now is to help Xuefeng complete the remaining five [128mm high-level guns]. In the end, Wei An decided to help Xuefeng upgrade the torpedoes.
Two six-cell 61cm torpedoes are used, with a total of 12 torpedo tubes. and a sonar, plus deep throw.
A total of 6,500 energy points are needed. Because the evaluation of several ship equipment is purple level, Wei An can only make two a day.
So Wei An immediately made two torpedoes.
In a flash of blue light, two energy clusters glowing purple appeared in Wei'an's hand, and then turned into two torpedo toys.
"Xiao Wei, how is it going?"
After seeing Wei An finish making the ship outfit, Xue Feng, who had not dared to disturb Wei An before, finally couldn't help asking.
Then he saw the two toys in Wei An's hand.
"I'm fine, but you need to use these two ship equipment now, sister."
Wei An handed the two torpedo ship equipment in his hand to Xuefeng.
"Xiao Wei, what is this?"
Seeing that the torpedo suit on Wei An's hand was somewhat similar to the torpedo suit he was currently using, Xuefeng looked at him in confusion.
"The six-link 610mm torpedo is just as powerful as your current torpedo, and it can save a little more deck space with the same combination."
In order to take into account Yukikaze's future hull upgrades, Yukikaze still has hulls covered by squares on the deck.
Compared to the tilted launch system that is prone to attack, he still arranged for Yukikaze Vertical missile launch system.
With a stronger bomb load, there is no blind spot for launch, but the follow-up arrangement has a universal module design and stronger safety.
Now that part can only be covered by thick steel plates. Covering the hole underneath.
Even Xuefeng asked him countless times why he left these places, and Wei An slightly revealed that it was a weapon. After all, she stopped asking.
It is much stronger than before. She believes that Wei An is justified in doing so. After all, her current equipment system is also arranged by Wei An, so the other space layout is slightly more compact, but it can be accommodated by Xuefeng. After getting so much equipment, Wei An temporarily felt a sense of security.
Before Clemenceau's ship materialized, he only had one battleship like Xuefeng. The stronger Xuefeng became, the more powerful he became.���The higher the security.
After all, he will definitely accompany Xuefeng when he sets sail.
After hearing Wei An's words, Xuefeng's little eyes lit up,"Torpedo!"
Besides the main guns, her favorite thing is torpedoes, and now she is about to have more powerful torpedoes.
So she unceremoniously took the two torpedo suits from Wei An's hands and ate them like eating chocolate.
She entered the data of the ship's equipment into her mental core, and she could manifest it as long as she had enough resources.
"Does Xiaowei still have it? Is there more?"
After feeling that the new torpedo was more powerful than his previous torpedo, Xuefeng looked at Wei An with some lingering interest.
"Sister, you know me, making ship uniforms consumes my physical strength, so much every day, but I will finish making your ship uniforms in the next few days."
"Soon we will be able to test sail!"
Within a week, Wei An plans to complete Xuefeng's battleship and launch it into the water for trial sea trials.
