Chapter 697: Griffin Plague (3)
After visiting and talking, Orso had a systematic understanding of the Xiyi fleet with the help of Maori Motoshi, and learned that the new Saiyi fleet, which integrates the Xiyi First Fleet and the Xiyi Second Fleet, in addition to the super first-class battleship that has the new Nippon Maru, which can compete with the new sun and the royal victory, also has 20 large Ataku ships that are equivalent to ordinary super 1-class warships, and 40 Ataka ships that are equivalent to 1-level warships.
In addition, as the Xiyi Anzhai type battleship evolved from the official house warship, this kind of medium-sized warship originally accounted for nearly 60% of the number of warships in the Xiyi fleet when the Xiyi fleet was still divided into the first fleet and the second fleet, and when the two Xiyi fleets merged into one fleet, the number of official ships accounted for more than 70% of the entire Xiyi fleet, which can be seen from the number of official ships in the Xiyi fleet reached more than 500.
As a non-light warship in the Xiyi fleet, the light battleship Qianhuo ship, which looks petite and has no lethality, the largest volume is only the size of the lifeboat equipped on two heavy warships, but in fact it has a battleship killer, and it is also because of the needs of the great empire for ocean battles after the establishment of the new Xiyi battleship, the original establishment of dozens of warships has been expanded to a regular establishment of 120 ships, plus 30 inconspicuous explosive ships. A total of 150 Xiyi light warship fleets were formed based on the original Xiyi battleship Qianshi ship.
It is worth mentioning here that since the Ataka type warships were originally built with the goal of a sea fortress, even if all the fighters were equipped, the load of the Ataka ships and the Ataka ships would definitely be between 40% and 60% free. Moreover, this load is still reasonable and will not weaken the movement of the battleship, so according to the words of Maori Yuan, as long as any of the Sunset battleships and the Xiyi battleship fight together, then this Sunset battleship does not even need to carry the armed transport fleet, because the warships in the Xiyi fleet are completely able to carry the weight consumed by themselves and then carry the consumption of the baggage required by the other fleet.
In addition to the carrying capacity, what Orso is most interested in is the firepower of the Xiyi fleet, that is, the artillery of the Xiyi fleet, after all, although the carrying capacity is related to the soldiers, materials, etc., although it is necessary to pay attention to the things on the ocean battlefield, but on the real battlefield, the enemy in addition to how many soldiers are carried in the battleship. All you pay attention to is the speed of the battleship's movement, the power of the war equipment, the armor ability of the battleship, etc., who would be bored enough to know how much food and clothing you carry on a battleship?
According to the information provided by Maori Yuan and witnessed by Orso, first of all, except for the Thousand Fire Ship and the Explosion Ship, the rest of the warships of the New Xiyi were equipped with the most well-made No. 1 gun (the origin of the No. 1 gun was the New Delhi Peninsula where the sun never sets). Although Sun Lin mobilized all the master craftsmen who built the No. 2 gun to the Nizhny Maginot Line, even in February of this year. With the gradual expansion of the production line of gun No. 2 on the Nizhny Maginot Line. A research on black powder, gunpowder weapons, including chemical agents, called the Sunset Alchemy Guild of the Sunset Empire National Gunpowder Research Association, but Sun Lin only transferred the craftsmen who knew how to make the No. 2 gun, and those No. 1 artillery production lines and the artillery production lines that have been expanding are all left on the New Delhi Peninsula, and the manufacturing drawings of the No. 2 gun that are also left on the New Delhi Peninsula, if it were not for the reason of time, the Xiyi fleet is very likely to wait until the No. 2 artillery production line is rebuilt). And it is fully equipped, that is to say, all the Ataka type warships in the Xiyi fleet, as long as the launch slots that can be used by the scorpion crossbow in naval battles before, are now all equipped with No. 1 guns.
And it's worth mentioning. Due to the unimaginable load capacity of the Ataka ship, the Ataka ship can withstand the shock force and weight of the main No. 1 modified gun, that is, the heavy siege gun, after being equipped with the No. 1 gun and withstanding the anti-shock force generated by the salvo of these guns. The ability to turn in the process of grappling determines whether the battleships of the Sunset Empire can transmit terrifying firepower to the enemy, so even if the platform above the Sunset Heavy Battleship can put down the heavy siege guns, then the shock force generated by the heavy artillery is not something that those regular warships that Sunset can withstand, even if the Sunset heavy warships and super battleships including the Royal Victory cannot). And the situation of withstanding a heavy artillery is just an official houseship, if it is replaced by an house ship, then the house ship can withstand 4 heavy siege guns, and as a hull design concept is somewhat the same as the sun does not set regular battleship, but the chassis is the chassis of the Xiyi battleship Da'an house, under the crazy imagination of the Xiyi people, the Da'an house ship except for the only layer of the No. 1 gun on the surface of the battleship, the rest of the deck are all placed with heavy siege guns, And it's a full 16 heavy siege guns! You must know that even if it is a new Nippon Maru, it is only equipped with 8 heavy siege guns! Perhaps the improved version of the Da'an Mansion cannot be compared to the Dinghai Battleship or the Wave Breaker in terms of size, but when it comes to firepower, it is estimated that even the Dinghai Battleship with the Staff of Judgment may not be able to compare to the Da'an Zhai's ship under the salvo.
And just when Orso and Maori Yuan began to integrate the two fleets of the sun, at the junction between the northwest region of the Central Continent and the southern region of the Central Continent, the first fleet of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets was also led by Solly towards the uninhabited island led by the king's inland sea fishman warriors.
Due to the fact that the First Fleet of the Inland Sea of the King of the Sun never sets was fully equipped with the No. 1 gun and a small number of No. 2 guns in the previous battle of the Rasman Islands (the Royal Victory, including its own frigate fleet independent of the navy, is currently also included in the First Fleet), the First Fleet of the Inland Sea of the King of the Sun lost very few losses in the battle of the Lasman Islands, and the number of troops of the First Fleet of the Inland Sea of the King of the Sun of the King of the Sun has not decreased, but has increased, because more than 100,000 Naga warriors are now at the disposal of Soli.
