As the battleship slowly exited the dock, Wang Yu asked Miss Venice for specific information about the battleship.
He knew that data was one thing, but he still had to ask the ship girl about some more detailed things.
As a result, Miss Venice's first words surprised Wang Yu.
She said that she has two kinds of ammunition in her arsenal, one is naturally an armor-piercing bullet, and the other is a semi-armor-piercing bullet.
Semi-armor-piercing projectile?
Wang Yu was stunned at that time, why did he change the type of ammunition?
Where are your high-explosive bombs?
It would be a pity if these fifteen main guns did not fire high-explosive shells to cover the Sirens.
When he was selecting information, he only took a cursory glance at the information on the armament system, mainly focusing on naval guns. As for ammunition, he really didn't pay much attention to it. After all, they were all cruisers, so what else could he choose for ammunition.
But I didn't expect that Venice actually used semi-armor-piercing bullets... which was not a very common ammunition configuration.
A semi-armor-piercing projectile (SAP) can be roughly understood as an armor-piercing projectile with a shortened fuze and a small amount of charge added, or a high-explosive projectile with enhanced body strength and reduced charge. It is a transition between high-explosive projectiles and armor-piercing projectiles. position.
It has a certain armor-piercing ability, but it is not as strong as the genuine armor-piercing bullets.
To put it simply, it can be worn, but only a little.
And this characteristic gives semi-armor-piercing projectiles extremely good capabilities against lightly armored targets.
The armor of a lightly armored target is just enough to be penetrated by a semi-armor-piercing projectile without over-penetration, and enough charges to detonate inside the target can also produce sufficient damage.
Wang Yu touched his chin and thought, Venice's ammunition configuration is quite interesting.
Specialized against Siren non-main ships, as long as you hit it accurately, you can lift a Siren destroyer with just fifteen rounds...
As for the main force of heavy equipment to deal with the Siren, they can also rely on semi-armor-piercing bullets to hit the weakly protected areas of the Siren warship to cause damage to the Siren - anyway, killing the Siren does not necessarily have to be against the Siren. Inflicting serious damage to the core area, as long as the damage is accumulated enough, they can still be sent to the bottom of the sea.
not bad.
It's just that semi-armor-piercing bullets deal direct damage and cannot continuously weaken the Siren's health like high-explosive bullets.
There are pros and cons, depending on the application.
Miss Venice then talked about her current reloading time, which is about twenty seconds for one shell.
There is no precise value for the time, because her current training level is not enough, so the state of the hull will affect her reloading speed.
In other words, when she concentrates on controlling the battleship, it may take twenty-five or six seconds to install one round. If she concentrates on loading and does not control the hull of the ship, then it will only take twenty seconds to install one round.
But no matter what, the reloading time of this round is indeed long.
Some large-caliber battleships can reduce the reloading time to just over twenty seconds.
According to what Venezia said, the reason why the reloading time is longer than that of the usual 203 mm caliber heavy cruiser is that it is limited by the hull design of the Venetian. The hull itself is narrow, and the armored belt squeezes the gun. There is no seating space, so the bomb hoist and ammunition layout in the ammunition depot are therefore restricted, making it impossible to complete loading quickly.
Don't use Annapolis as a criterion for heavy cruisers. Her rate of fire is driven by the automatic reloading equipment.
In fact, automatic loading also has disadvantages. Once Anna's main gun area is hit, it is easily damaged, causing the entire turret to be unable to work. This is why Wang Yu installed the main gun maintenance enhancement plug-in for her.
In short, Venice's armament system is probably like this.
Wang Yu felt that he had to take her to practice first so that she could maximize her shooting speed in battle.
This Venetian lady has a serious character, so she would not be irritated by the intensified training.
When he learned this, Venice had already moved the ship into the harbor.
Next to her was the Annapolis.
Once again, Wang Yu already knew where the sea trial venue for the ship girl was, so there was no need for Hahara Mio to lead the way this time. The girl was currently looking forward to the construction of her ship because of the colorful light. Completed Venetian level.
The ship girl can control the ship body from a certain distance. The higher the level of training, the farther the range of air control will be.
So Anna didn't have to go back to her side this time. She was on the Venice with Wang Yu.
The bridge of Venice is not as advanced as Annapolis, but it should be the only spacious place on the whole ship.
The tall Venetian lady stood upright in front of the porthole, holding her rapier in one hand and looking intently at the ocean ahead.
Wang Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly.
It seems that this new ship's wife is indeed rigorous and serious. She will never be distracted when controlling the navigation of the battleship. Looking at her focused look, you can tell that her attitude towards navigation is very strict...
"Commander, this is the performance of a low-level ship girl." Anna seemed to watch Wang Yu's eyes fall on Venice, so she took the initiative to tell Wang Yu: "In order to make the voyage stable, they need to be focused on it, and for high-level For a trained ship girl, this is as instinctive as eating and drinking, and she can perfectly control the ship body without any gestures."
Wang Yu: "..."
Well, it’s me who has made a conclusion about the ship girl based on my human thoughts...
He suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and asked Anna in a low voice: "Speaking of which, I was just curious, where did the stabbing sword in Venice's hand come from? The shape is so gorgeous, could it be made together by the shipyard? "
"This is a kind of decoration that the ship girl carries with her. The commander can understand it as...well, an exclusive weapon."
Anna tilted her head: "It was formed together with clothes and accessories when consciousness was formed. I also have it here, but it's not in the form of a sword."
Wang Yu was a little dumbfounded. He had never seen anything like weapons around Anna.
Anna looked at Wang Yu's surprised look, so she reached behind her.
After a moment, she already held two M1911-shaped pistols in her hands. One was black and the other was white. The black one was called ebony and the white one was called white ivory. Sorry to cross the set. Anyway, she had it in her hand. Holding two pistols.
Wang Yu took the black one and made some gestures. He found that this gun was not the same as an ordinary pistol. It was just a weapon with the appearance of a firearm. At least Wang Yu could not pull out the magazine and opened the slide. Huang Chengcheng's bullet was not seen.
Perhaps it is just like what Anna said, only ship girls can use it, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual decoration.
"Where did you get it from?"
Wang Yu's focus is quite strange.
"I store them in the 'high-dimensional space' that only ship girls can reach."
Anna answered simply.
It is difficult for Wang Yu not to care about the "high-dimensional space".
Speaking of which, he has been exposed to a lot of fascinating things recently, from the core of the mind to the gate to world transition, from the ship girl to this strange high-dimensional space that seems to be used as a space storage device. He feels that his world view has changed. Indestructible.
So he asked in passing, and Anna gave a simple answer.
The almost endless huge energy in the mental core comes from that high-dimensional space, and the ship girl's ability is also the power drawn from the space. By mobilizing the mental core, the ship girl can touch that space.
As for the others, Anna couldn't tell.
Of course, Venice also has this ability. After Wang Yu asked, she showed Wang Yu the operation of taking back and taking out the stabbing sword, which made Wang Yu wonder.
Wang Yu returned the pistol to Anna and asked her to put it away.
At this time, the battleship had already left the waterway of the fjord.
Although Wang Yu wanted to take Venice on a trip to the archipelago he found two days ago after the sea trial, but after thinking about the current lack of building materials, he decided not to go there to open up wasteland for the time being.
Let’s wait until he finds a legal identity in this world to obtain resources from the Navy Headquarters, or borrows Miss Kitchen Goddess with strong infrastructure capabilities from Habara Mio.
Annapolis slowly stopped, while Venice began to accelerate and enter the test.
Venice went through the basic operations according to the process, alternating with acceleration, deceleration, sharp turns, volleys, half volleys, and round shots.
But compared with Anna's smooth operation, Miss Venice's operation is a bit...
Well, hard to evaluate.
The first is maneuvering. Her maneuvering is very stiff, and it is basically difficult to turn to the position you want in the first place. Either the rudder is turned less, so it does not turn enough, or the rudder is turned too much, so it turns too far. .
To be honest, this kind of performance makes Venice's original high maneuverability not very good.
And the connection between her shelling and maneuvering is not smooth.
The impact point of the shells after the bombardment was not precise. Even if the target was a stationary target on an island, she could miss a lot, and even a few rounds of shells fell into the sea.
Unless it is a precise shot without maneuvering, she can guarantee a hit rate.
Seeing this, Ana shook her head slightly.
Wang Yu could only sigh in his heart, this should be the level of a new ship girl, Anna is really at her full strength.
Venice's face was also a little red, half from embarrassment and half from annoyance.
Of course she knew she wasn't doing well.
Although senior Anna didn't express it clearly, looking at her expression, one could tell that he must be very disappointed with her.
Well, that's too bad.
But she quickly cheered up. She must improve herself and not be discouraged. Every ship girl has gone through this process to become a highly skilled being, and she will definitely be able to carry out battles smoothly in the future.
In short, after a series of tests, Wang Yu finally understood that Venice's current level cannot challenge the siren fleet, and it should be more relaxed when facing some high-intensity free sirens.
Although the high design level of the battleship itself can make up for some of the gaps caused by training, under the world view of the ship girl, the combat effectiveness of the battleship mainly depends on these girls.
In short, let's find some less important battles in the offshore area for Venice to carry out.
Then she would find an opportunity to find a way to take on some Navy Headquarters missions and further improve her training in simple missions.
So let’s go home for now.
But Venice suddenly said to him: "Commander, I have another ability that I need to show you."
Wang Yu naturally told her to do whatever she wanted.
So, Venice nodded, and then closed his eyes slightly.
The next second, a thick wall of fog suddenly formed around the battleship.
Wang Yu stood up suddenly and raised his eyebrows as he watched the visibility around him drop to several meters in an instant.
Wang Yu, who had experienced previous naval battles, naturally knew what this was like.
Based on the ship girl's ability, the smoke is generated by the smoke generator.
Does Venice actually have this device?
She is not a destroyer.
Could it be said that smoke generators do not necessarily need to be used by destroyers?
Moreover, the battleship is currently advancing at a speed of thirty knots.
According to what Wang Yu had learned before, when a destroyer uses a smoke generator, the smoke will form behind the hull and cannot cover the advancing warship.
In other words, the destroyer must slow down to a certain extent so that the newly formed smoke can envelope the warship in real time and achieve the function of mobile concealment.
But the current Venice can use smoke generators at high speeds...
Wang Yu immediately realized what kind of tactical advantage this would bring.
When fighting the Siren, you only need to choose a suitable time to raise the smoke, and you can gain absolute concealment for a period of time. Whether you want to sneak attack the Siren's flank, or you are being chased by the Siren and want to escape, a The right smoke can solve many problems.
Wang Yu then asked a few more questions about Venice's ability.
Inside the smoke, the sirens cannot be sensed externally. Of course, the sirens cannot sense the sirens inside the smoke. This is similar to the properties of ordinary smoke, so when you want to use smoke to attack the sirens, just You need to ensure that there are other ship girls who can provide vision of the sirens.
Time passed as Wang Yu asked.
And the work on the smoke generator was quickly over.
But what is surprising is that after the smoke generator stopped working, the smoke originally generated did not last for a while on the sea like the smoke released by other destroyers. The smoke generated by Venice dissipated in just a moment.
For example, it's a bit like the smoke emitted by early steam trains. It can cover the front of the car, but it can only cover the front of the car.
It seems that the smoke can only provide concealment for Venice himself and the other warships following him. It cannot pull out a wall of fog like a destroyer to block the vision of a large siren.
It can only be said that it has a special nature and has advantages and disadvantages.
It’s a trump card for Venice.
Although Anna doesn't quite agree with the current combat effectiveness of Venice, she still recognizes the gold content of this train smoke.
In short, after the first sea trial was over, Wang Yu asked Miss Venice to turn the ship around and return to the port.
