Extraordinary Sailing

The limit speed of the "Warthog" can reach 29 knots, which is not much slower than the torpedo with a speed of 30 knots, and the rudder effect is excellent.

With the full cooperation of the chief engineer and the helmsman, the fast cruiser's steel hull, which was as large as a city wall, drew a perfect arc on the water.

Let the deadly waterline pass by the stern of the battleship, the whole process is safe and sound.

"Irina, activate [Cape Figure Pilot Whale]."

Elantra's order was just halfway through.

Hum——!

A riot of elemental ripples has spread out from the position of the submarine.

This is the inspiration that the black wizards got during the development of "Broken Star Sea" - [Magic element turbulence bomb], also known as [Poverty bomb].

Just like [Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb] can paralyze electronic equipment, this cheap weapon can temporarily paralyze [Witchcraft Props] and greatly interfere with spellcasting.

For the party with less extraordinary power, this weapon can be called a cheap and good artifact.

but.

Even if the extraordinary power of the [Prince] is temporarily excluded, the speed is slightly slower than the torpedo, but it is not very afraid of this direct torpedo that does not have the ability to track.

The reliable power system is one of the biggest advantages of [Super Dreadnought Class].

There are 12 oil-fired boilers, 2 Watt IV steam turbines, and 2 gear-driven cruising steam turbines, with a power of 26,500 horsepower and a speed of 27 knots.

While launching a large-angle evasion, Elantra has issued an order to the gun crew through the shipboard radio system:

"The target appears, the secondary gun fires rapidly!"

The powerful main guns of the battleship have a slow firing speed, and the ammunition of nearly one ton is relatively limited. At this time, a series of secondary guns will come in handy.

"Obey!"

Unlike sea monsters that can attack from deep water, since submarines need to float to a surface of 3-15 to launch torpedoes.

At such a shallow depth, its shadow is naturally easy to spot, especially in the lighter waters of the Eritrean Sea.

Especially when the "Sea Snail" fired two torpedoes at once in order to expand the results of the battle, causing the submarine to lose its balance and half surfaced for a time, becoming a very conspicuous target.

clack clack

Snow-white steam gushes out.

Inside the "shipboard analysis machine" improved by Babbage, countless brass gears rotated and quickly spit out a printed cardboard, which fell into the hands of the distance measuring team.

"Report."

As the principality's strongest battleship, the gunner positions of the upper half of the gun crew of the [Prince] are filled by experienced [Gunners].

Not to mention the two fire controllers, one is a [steamer] who can also operate the shipboard analysis machine and understand the parameters, and the other is a second-tier [gunner] at the peak level.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Following the order of the fire controller, all the turrets within the shooting range of the 21 127mm secondary guns of the "Prince" fired simultaneously, and the fiery muzzle storm set off a category eight hurricane on the sea.

There were two secondary battery designs submitted by the Academy of Engineering to Aiwen, namely the [Gallery-type secondary battery] arranged on the side and the [Turret-type secondary battery] located on the upper deck.

[Gallery type secondary battery] The advantage is that the secondary armor belt can be laid uniformly, the cost is relatively cheap, and the secondary battery is not easy to be destroyed by the enemy's medium-caliber artillery.

However, the secondary battery of such a battleship has poor range and cannot target the air, and if it is hit by a large-caliber shell, the entire side of the secondary battery may be completely wiped out.

In the end, under the foresight of Aiwen, all the battleships of the Principality chose [turret-type secondary guns].

[Turret-type secondary battery] has a better range of fire, can be used for both water and air, even if it is hit, the entire secondary battery will not be reimbursed, and it can also save space to install necessary anti-aircraft weapons.

Crash! Crash!

Huge water splashes exploded around the exposed [Sea Snail] one after another. Although the targets exposed above the water were extremely small, these hot shells seemed to have eyes, and they were getting closer to the submarine every time.

This is the [Gunners]'s cross-shooting method. The front turret of the battleship shoots according to the parameters set by the "shipboard analysis machine", and the rear turret corrects the parameters for further shooting.

Then shoot repeatedly until the bullet can double-team the target, and then start shooting in all directions, taking the target away in waves.

Of course, while the [Prince] was performing evasive actions, it could still do this, probably because [Gunner], the superhumans who specialize in shooting, could do it.

The mysterious source of the [Gunner], the [Spirit of the Eagle], was captured at the beginning, and then in anticipation of the rapid and fierce war with hot weapons in the future, Ivan has been vigorously cultivating the [Gunner] in the army over the years.

This emerging profession, which is unique to the New World, can almost compete with the [Knights] in the Principality.

There are even [Gunners] who have been knighted for their meritorious service, stepping into the ranks of the upper ruling class. You know, in almost all monarchy countries, this is almost the patent of [Knight Occupation].

All members of the fleet will never deny it.

Even though His Majesty has not personally participated in this battle to witness history, the fleet's response in all aspects is the embodiment of His Majesty's wise and mighty strategizing and foresight for many years.

"Quick! Inject water and dive again!"

The submarine captain wanted to catch the Principality's fleet by surprise, but he didn't expect the Principality's navy to react so quickly.

He even felt that the principality navy's training subjects already contained the content of dealing with submarines.

But the fierce battle situation did not allow him to think too much.

After so many years, it is no secret that the [Song of the Siren] invented by Aiwen has been equipped to the entire alliance since the Age of Sail, and it has inevitably flowed into the hands of other countries.

However, although the Palme d'Or side also has [electrical engineers], the research progress on the [Sonar System] is still unsatisfactory.

Temporarily speaking, the "periscope" is the key when launching an attack.

Even if the submarine is intact, if the protruding periscope is damaged, it means that the submarine can almost completely withdraw from the battlefield.

However, the captain of the Federal Navy was not too disappointed, and ordered while the communication antenna was still exposed on the sea:

"Send a signal for their support!"

At the last moment when the shells submerged the location, [Sea Snail] finally completed the action of re-entering the water in time at the cost of a slight dent in the shell, and escaped the tragic ending of being torn apart.

And just a moment after an electromagnetic wave broke through the air.

On the [Prince], which had just avoided the torpedo and readjusted its posture and rushed towards the submarine's dive position, the radar chief stared at the console in front of him and suddenly got up to report:

"Report to the captain, there is a giant floating in the clouds."

Elantra looked up at the dark sky, [Psychic Network] has not yet reached the point of covering the entire planet, and its accuracy in the Eritrean Sea is not as good as radar.

The peak knight's keen hearing could already hear the subtle noises in the sky, and while frowning slightly, he waved vigorously:

"Boss, open the cloud breaker for me!"

A strange machine composed of a series of parallel hollow metal tubes was manipulated by two [electrical engineers] to point to the cloud layer where the radar detected anomalies.

Warden Cliff, who has the title of "Magician of Electricity", finally completed his masterpiece that broke the boundaries between science and the extraordinary some time ago - [Cloud Breaker], also known as [Weather Controller], and applied it to actual combat .

Crackling

When the strong and controlled electromagnetic field rushed to the sky, like a pair of invisible hands, the clouds in the sky were pushed away. The officers on the bridge opened their mouths wide:

"What a big airship!"

immediately.

A triumphant voice came to everyone's ears through the loudspeaker:

"Hahaha, fellow bumpkins of the alliance, give me a taste of the power of the 'Akron'!"

[Akron] is a giant airship with a length of 305 meters and a load capacity of 260 tons. Its maximum speed can reach more than 120 kilometers per hour and its maximum range can reach 11,000 kilometers.

But that's not the most amazing.

In the friction of the "Broken Star Sea", the navies have long practiced that if the airship dared to fly within the range of the anti-aircraft guns, it would only end in a crash.

Although it is huge, it cannot exert too much pressure on everyone.

However.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of six manned aircraft flapping their wings like giant birds flew out of the airship, and launched a high-speed dive towards the fleet extremely swiftly.

Each aircraft, which doesn't look too big, is equipped with two large black-painted bombs.

This turned out to be a "flying mothership"? !
