Chapter 111
This time Lexington and the others also discovered some inconveniences during their long trip.
This world only has wired communication methods, so communication can only be done on the mainland.
Now that Xuefeng and the others were at sea, he could only worry.
So Wei An, who was accustomed to wireless communication in his previous life, felt a little nostalgic.
But now there are other more important projects, so the research and development of radio can only be put on hold for the time being.
Time passed slowly, and after learning about the navy's situation, Wei An worried about Xuefeng and the others every day.
For this reason, I have to go to Elizabeth once a day to know if there is any news about Xuefeng and the others.
At the same time, the energy in his hands was also being consumed rapidly.
Clemenceau's other ship equipment is already available, but power improvement plans have been ongoing.
The pressure brought by the navy and the worry about his ship's wife made Wei An turn on the violent mode every day.
In addition to looking for Elizabeth after class, he immediately locked himself back in the dormitory.
Let Shropshire look for him every day as Cremon���Talk to Shropshire.
Wei An, on the other hand, was scratching and making changes in his position, and even pulled out a lot of hair.
The whole person looked very haggard.
He did not expect that with the research experience of Xuefeng power system, he would spend 2W of energy on power research.
It is very simple to make the boat run, but what is difficult for Wei An is to squeeze enough power into the limited space of the boat while ensuring that other spaces are used.
However, the terrifying speed of the deep sea forced him to keep up, otherwise he would have no advantage in the battleship duel.
Even if you cannot maintain the advantage, you must at least ensure that your speed is not at a disadvantage.
His conservative estimated speed of 35 knots was no longer safe after learning more information about the deep sea.
The reason why he lost his hair was that he wanted this 5W-ton warship to reach a speed of 40 knots.
For the first 35 sections of the goal Vian has been developed during the process of hair loss.
Directly named [Heavy-Duty Improved Power System Type 1]】
【The limitation on the speed of battleships is not only the power, but also the ship type. ]
In his previous life, he was a ship designer, so designing ship types was not difficult for Wei An.
So the only thing that troubles Wei An is motivation.
After all, the power requirements have doubled from 35 knots to 40 knots.
Or just improve the efficiency of the thruster. Increasing the power and improving the efficiency of the thruster can also help Wei An achieve his goal.
Today's warships still use propellers for propulsion. Larger ships are wider and can fit more propellers.
Provides greater thrust.
For this reason, Wei An focused on another method of advancement.
Water jet propeller.
The advantage is obvious. It is more efficient than propellers under high maneuverability conditions. It requires less power and can run faster.
The disadvantages are also obvious, it takes up space and consumes a lot of fuel.
It also needs to prevent the propeller from catching debris, so it is more suitable for use in shallow water areas.
But the warships used now are not traditional warships.
The ship girl has a battleship elf who can help her clean up debris from the propeller in time.
In terms of occupied space, except for the rest cabin and command room used by security guards, the other spaces are all for the performance of the warship, and the utilization rate is not comparable to that of traditional warships.
As for the issue of relatively high fuel consumption.
When Xuefeng comes back, Wei An will prepare to install a new torpedo loading system for Xuefeng. The problem of high resource consumption is no longer a problem for Wei An.
One more is not too much. Compared with the high consumption of resources, if you think you can't beat others, you just risk your life to experiment.
Moreover, the resources salvaged after winning the battle in the deep sea can at least guarantee the consumption of several ships.
As for fighting the navy, wouldn't it be easier?
If you want to survive, trade resources.
And Wei An has even more terrifying money-making efficiency.
In the previous life, the equipment was limited by construction costs and technical difficulties, but it is simpler here in Wei'an.
The construction cost of the ship girl is also four special resources, which are not difficult for Wei An to obtain, and maintenance can be solved by taking a bath.
For technical problems, as long as Wei An can understand the principle, the rest is left to talent and the ship equipment of the ship girl.
In terms of consumption cost, the ship's shells are generated by consuming resources in a timely manner, as are the fuel, which avoids the possibility of many dangers.
Usually, the ship girl also stores these resources in the battleship when replenishing them.
It can be said that a palm-sized can of fuel resources can be used as 1 ton of fuel. A battleship as big as a battleship can store a huge amount of fuel.
Even after getting to know the magic of the ship girl more and more, Wei An also discovered that the upper limit of nuclear power may be higher.
It is a commonplace to say that nuclear power is more troublesome to maintain than conventional power.
The ship girl can easily solve it.
Infinite battery life reduces the number of replenishments.
From the ship girl, you can use ammunition resources to convert into a variety of different cannonballs, torpedoes, weapons, etc.
Wei An also wants to know if the warship is equipped with nuclear power, will the resource that needs to be supplemented still be fuel?
After all, the advantage of nuclear power over conventional power is that the fuel of nuclear power saves more space than conventional power.
If the ship girl also uses the resources of one unit, does that mean the resource utility of more units is higher than that of conventional power?
Provides more energy?
The security guard now knows not to think too much about nuclear power. A radar can make it very difficult for him to get it.
He also understood that with the current nuclear power technology, it would be difficult to drain him dry, so Wei An interrupted his divergent thinking.
Continue to return to my own attack on the power system.
Then Clemenceau, who was chatting with Shropshire, looked at���His own admiral took out his own battleship design drawings.
Then draft a new drawing and start painting.
But Wei An's current concentration allowed her to stop her inner curiosity, and she also understood Wei An's expectations and high requirements for her battleship.
That's why I'm so tired during this period.
Clemenceau's sudden turn of his head also caught Shropshire's attention, and she also noticed what Wei An was working on.
After all, battleship drawings are generally relatively large because they need to be drawn very carefully.
But she didn't ask too much. This was someone else's secret. But with her understanding of the Xuefeng battleship, she was also full of expectations for the future hull that Clemenceau would manifest.
After all, the two of them still have a battle.
At the same time, she also understood why Wei An was so tired these days.
【Sure enough, the navy thing makes you a little impatient? 】
But Wei An's attitude made Shropshire recognize him even more.
