Several hours had passed since we returned to the Annapolis.
Although Wang Yu felt physically tired, he was mentally satisfied.
He found a suitable home for his fleet.
Mark this place on the map first, and come back later to conduct detailed exploration here.
Anyway, he will go to sea frequently in the future. Venice obviously needs to continue fighting to improve his training.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he draws a card and sinks the ship. No, he cannot summon the ship girl, but those things are the worst case scenario. Although Wang Yu has thought about it, he does not regard the occurrence of this situation as a major issue. conditions to consider things.
The battleship bid farewell to this beautiful archipelago for the time being and sailed towards the mainland.
…………
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring.
The frozen water began to thaw, and the dry trees sprouted new buds.
The warming of the temperature is a very happy thing. When Wang Yu and Anna were walking on the coast, they could feel the warmth of the sun hitting their bodies.
The arrival of spring actually represents a more important thing.
After such a period of construction, the Venice has finally completed the construction process and is ready to be launched.
Wang Yu had been looking forward to this for a long time. On the day of launching, he took Anna to the shipyard early to wait.
The hull, which is slightly smaller than Annapolis but still huge, has been taken shape in the dock. In addition to the hull, a series of things such as the superstructure, main guns, secondary guns, masts, etc. that originally needed to be outfitted after being launched into the water. It has also been installed.
The battleship is still built using one-piece molding technology with no visible welds from top to bottom.
It was in the same condition as Anna had just completed the comprehensive renovation.
Speaking of which, the shipbuilding process and the warships produced by this shipyard actually presented Wang Yu with a big problem.
Although this one-piece molding technology is extremely powerful, it can greatly increase the structural strength of the ship body and save a certain amount of tonnage, but it also brings about some very serious problems - that is, the repair of the warship after it is damaged.
In the last world, warships built according to conventional procedures could directly dismantle the corresponding part of the hull when they needed repairs. For example, if a certain armor plate on the main armor belt of the warship was broken, then this piece could be completely removed. The armor plate was cut off and re-welded on again.
But the hull using one-piece molding technology is not so convenient.
Once there is damage to the warship that needs to be maintained, the same technology can only be used to repair it. If the traditional method is used to cut off a large part of the damaged part of the hull and then replace it with a new one, it will take several times the effort, and it will also need to be repaired. The entire load-bearing structure needs to be re-evaluated, which is not worth the loss.
Therefore, Wang Yu feels that the Siren shipbuilding equipment in this world does bring convenience, but it also brings certain limitations.
Now that I have used this kind of shipbuilding equipment to build a fleet in a short period of time, I must have the same set of equipment to support the logistics system of my fleet in the future.
As he looked at the equipment and thought about these things, Anna gave him a gentle push.
She reminded him that he could choose a livery for the Venetian.
Wang Yu came to the terminal and began to select the corresponding painting.
It's just that this time he was not alone. He had Anna beside him to help him as a consultant, so Wang Yu did not use Hahara Mio's template library, but designed a livery for Venice himself - of course, since he was not very skilled yet. This paint design function means that the final design result is not complicated, just a simple coverage paint.
Most of the hull is covered in a silver-white coating that does not look dazzling and has a very comfortable tone. The only difference is the deck position at the bow of the ship - probably starting from the bow to the first The part of the deck that ends with the wave board in front of the main gun is decorated with evenly distributed red and white linear stripes, and the rest of the deck is light gray.
Although this painting is simple, it is very comfortable to look at, and the red and white stripes perfectly integrate the unique ship decoration style of the Roman state where she was born, and do not make the silver and white of the entire ship look monotonous.
Almost most of the warships there are decorated with this red and white paint.
Finally, the battleship's hull number CA-2 was spray-painted near the bow anchor, which represents the second heavy cruiser in Wang Yu's fleet (although Anna is a super cruiser, it is also a type of heavy cruiser, so it is CA-1).
On both sides of the stern, there is also a line of [VENEZIA] written in light gold, which represents the name of the battleship.
The shipyard began to spray paint the warships, and Wang Yu and Anna waited patiently beside them.
At the same time, Wang Yu was thinking in his heart that he originally wanted to add some beautiful decorations to the side of this battleship, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use the detailing function after studying it for a long time.
Forget it, don’t worry about it anymore. Anyway, if the ship girls want to change their clothes in the future, they can just go into the dock and repaint them.
Wang Yu secretly complained that one day he must learn more about how to use this thing.
In the future, as a commander, I will definitely draw some beautiful patterns on my girls.
Soon, the painting of the battleship was completed, and then the dock door opened, and seawater quickly poured into the dock. The battleship on the pedestal also rose and floated.
Soon, the water level rose to the highest level and the battleship floated normally, proving that there was no problem in the construction process.
A slide trolley raised the boarding ladder to the edge of the dock.
"I won't go with you this time. I hope everything goes well for you."
Mio Hahara, who had been watching the soy sauce making for a long time, bowed slightly to him.
Wang Yu nodded, thanked her for her help in building the ship, and then boarded the brand new Venice with Anna.
Getting on this battleship is a completely different experience than getting on Annapolis.
"Shang" means "mounted", don't get it wrong.
The design styles of warships designed from two completely different regions in the previous world are naturally very different.
The deck of Annapolis is very neat, with the main and secondary guns symmetrically distributed. Although the superstructure is large, its shape is indeed simple. It is basically easy to find the way to the bridge or below the deck.
But the Venice is different. There are anti-aircraft guns and torpedoes of various calibers on the deck, and the structure of the superstructure is relatively not as simple and clear as Annapolis, so I want to find the right path for a while. Somewhat difficult.
Although Wang Yu had seen the internal perspective of this battleship in advance, he was a little confused at this time.
He looked at Anna next to him: "Then, let's go and wake up our sleeping beauty."
He opened a hatch, revealing a narrow passage inside.
This passage can only allow a person to bend forward slightly, which obviously compresses the walking passage to the extreme.
There is no way, for the large amount of armament on this battleship, these... well, unimportant spaces naturally need to be compressed.
After the two wandered around the superstructure for a while, they found the way to the lower deck. During the shipbuilding, the shipyard made some adjustments to the structure of the hull below the deck. Just like Anna's previous situation, the shipyard canceled the In addition to the original crew cabin, a cabin protected by armor was added to house the mental core.
The most spacious space below the deck is probably the dining room. The area of this dining room is not even as big as the one above Annapolis. Standing up straight, it feels like your head is already on the ceiling. There is a very depressing feeling. Wang Yu even felt that he was not moving forward on a heavy cruiser, but in a submarine with limited space...
It was hard for Wang Yu to imagine how depressing the living space for the sailors inside would have been if this battleship had been built in the previous world.
Passing through the restaurant, you come to a narrow passage, and at the end is the place where the core is placed.
There were the commander's bedroom and the ship's wife's bedroom at both ends of this passage. Out of interest, he went to take a look at the commander's bedroom.
As a result, I only saw a small cabin. The bed was only about one meter wide, and about half a meter beside the bed was a desk that can be described as "mini". It's that simple...
When Wang Yu saw this living environment, he turned back to Anna with a sigh and said: "It seems that it is more comfortable inside your body... Well, I mean inside your boat."
Anna put her hand on her chest and lowered her head slightly: "I'm honored that Commander thinks so."
They came to the cabin where the core was placed. Wang Yu took the prepared mental core from Anna and installed it on the base himself.
I won’t write about the process of patiently waiting and Wang Yu’s inner thoughts, because no one is too lazy to read it anyway.
In short, after a moment of waiting, the mental core flashed with the same color as when it was installed on the Annapolis.
It is another colored light whose specific color is difficult to distinguish.
Great, it seems that I have good luck, and I don’t have to worry about the guarantee when drawing cards.
The process of building ships and installing cores should be equally smooth in the future.
"Oh?!" Wang Yu looked at the mental core in surprise: "Is it this color again?"
He found that the rarity rating of this world did not seem to apply to the warships he built.
He originally thought that Anna was a special case last time, because Annapolis was a super battleship, so the rarity rules did not apply, but this time the Venice was considered a normal cruiser, so theoretically it should be a golden legend...
But I didn’t expect it to be a colored rarity rating?
Wang Yu guessed that this color represented something beyond gold and should be a higher level.
But this raises another question. The rarity of Annapolis is obviously higher than that of the Venice, but why do these two battleships have the same rarity rating? Could it be that Venice is rated as colorful? The rarity is because Venice is at this level, and the rarity of Annapolis is rated as color because... the highest rarity can only be displayed in color?
Maybe that’s what it really means!
"Was I like this before...?"
Anna looked at the core of her mind in a daze: "This is the process of the commander creating life..."
Wang Yu couldn't help but stumbled when he heard what she said. Let's talk, can we not say such ambiguous words?
He quickly took Anna out, and the next step was to greet his new companions on the deck.
There was not enough space on the Venetian deck, so Wang Yu and the others came to the stern of the ship, where the space was quite spacious.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar white light enveloped the ship, and the familiar light converged into a human shape.
Wang Yu and Anna stood side by side as the commander and secretary of the ship, waiting for the other party to come to them.
After a moment, the humanoid took two steps forward, and the light completely dissipated.
Standing in front of Wang Yu was a tall, royal-sister-style beauty.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention her face. There is no average appearance in the ship girl. The main thing is her temperament - the first time he saw her, Wang Yu felt a strong intensity in this girl's face based on her eyes. A sense of "confidence".
This is completely different from Anna's tranquility.
Her long silver-gray hair was slightly curly and spread down her back. She was wearing a red and white European-style military dress that looked very complicated. The dress had a diagonal ribbon on the outside and a silver chain hanging next to the dress. There is an exquisite stabbing sword with a guard on it. In a word, it looks elegant and well-shaped.
Her clothes are two extremes from Anna's before.
Anna's outfit is very simple, but this outfit in Venice...
Wang Yu felt that even if he was allowed to take it off, it would take a lot of effort to completely take it off...
No, why does it mean that I want to take off her clothes? This is wrong, please change it.
And after his thoughts briefly stopped for a moment, the girl finally spoke.
"Are you my commander?"
She stood up straight, pulled out the stabbing sword at her side, pointed the sword upward, and stood the hilt in front of her. She made a strange gesture to Wang Yu, but it should be the etiquette of raising a sword to swear an oath: "Heavy cruiser, Venice, I will join you from today on." fleet, let my blade open the way to victory for you."
This initial favorability level is much more normal, like Anna's...
Well, it needs the power of bondage.
Wang Yu nodded with emotion. She was worthy of being a ship girl formed by the battleships of Rome. She was very clear about etiquette, which gave him a strange sense of vanity - it was just the thorns beside her. Where did the sword come from?
He watched the Venetian etiquette put away his rapier before speaking.
"Then, Miss Venice, welcome to join the fleet... This is Annapolis. She is considered your senior, a fully trained ship girl. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask her for more advice."
Venice then bowed slightly to Anna.
"In addition..." Wang Yu thought for a while and then added: "Our fleet has a special destiny, so the road ahead for us is bound to be full of thorns, so I hope you can be mentally prepared."
"Yes! Commander." She replied seriously.
"Then let's prepare for the sailing test."
