Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

In the era of giant ships and big guns, a very serious problem was the hit rate.

Especially during ultra-long-range bombardment, a 2-3% rate is considered good. If the weather conditions are bad, even 1% will be difficult to achieve.

This problem also exists in the world of pirates.

And at this moment, Silas was solving this problem.

"Colonel, this is an auxiliary device for the sight radar. Its function is to assist the sight radar, allowing it to have the ability to lock onto a target and accurately measure distance and position."

"According to our estimates, with the ballistic calibration device, the hit rate of the warship's main guns can be increased to about 38% at a distance of ten kilometers. Even at a distance of more than twenty kilometers, it can still reach more than 10%."

"Of course, the premise is still that the person using the Observation Haki radar has a sufficient range of coverage with his own Observation Haki."

At a distance of ten kilometers, the hit rate can reach 38%?

Even above 10 kilometers, it can still reach %?

Wow, this directly increased the main gun's hit rate by more than ten times.

It’s really a good thing!!

only...

The color radar is a good thing, but there are too few people in the branch who can use it.

Moreover, Luo Lan is the only one who can make it work 100% effectively in a short period of time.

Even with a thirty-fold increase, Tina was still a little short of it.

"Colonel, actually, we have two versions of this ballistic calibration system."

"One is the active version, which is also the fully functional version. Its function is the same as what I said before. The other is the passive version..."

"Compared to the active version, it does not require someone with Observation Haki to operate it, but passively receives data from other warships. One active version can be connected to up to 8 passive versions at the same time."

It seemed like he understood what Luo Lan was thinking.

Silas spoke next.

This made Luo Lan completely confused.

Wow, Silas, you even figured out the data link, right?

With this, in the future, every battleship will not need to be equipped with a strong person with observation Haki, but...

For an entire fleet, it will be enough if there is one person on the flagship who possesses Observation Haki.

Good stuff, it is indeed good stuff!

"Silas, what's the last one?"

Luo Lan was extremely satisfied with the first two.

Now, there is only one last item left.

"Colonel, this third new technology does not actually exist in Director Roy's design drawings."

"Well, what's going on?"

Luo Lan frowned and asked.

If you have good stuff, why not install it?

"Actually, the Science Department had thought about designing a new main gun to replace the current cannon, and had made a lot of progress, but..."

"Although we have achieved partial success, the technology is currently very immature and cannot be installed on the ship!"

As he spoke, Silas unfolded a design drawing.

Two track-like objects extended from the huge gun mount instead of conventional gun barrels.

Luo Lan felt familiar with it at first sight.

At second glance, it looked very familiar.

Shouldn't...

Is this what you thought of?

"Silas, explain!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Silas nodded and immediately began the introductions.

"Colonel, as you know, we have already made in-depth research on the use of possible energy sources. In the process, we are also studying whether there are other more effective alternative energy sources. Then we found..."

"The power of thunder!"

"This is a sudden idea of ​​an A-level scientist in our science department."

"Since everyone knows that thunder contains extremely terrifying energy, can we make use of this energy?"

"For this purpose, our Science Department has set up a new project to study how to convert the violent power of thunder into stable electrical energy so that it can be used in a controllable way."

"This project went surprisingly smoothly. The Science Department even created a device that converts Coke energy into electrical energy, and used the electrical energy to develop a concept main gun, which is the one on the design!"

"Unlike the artillery we currently have, the shells used by this concept main gun are solid shells made of pure metal, which kill with powerful kinetic energy."

"According to current theories, its single-point killing power can even rival the full-strength attack of a top physical martial arts expert, and its range can even reach hundreds of kilometers."

hiss...

In the room, there was a sound of people sucking in air.

This is really exaggerated.

A top physical training expert, what does this mean?

That's the level of Garp, okay?

A full-strength attack?

Although it is only comparable in single point damage, it is still shocking enough.

The most outrageous thing is that the range can reach hundreds of kilometers, and this is still the first generation?

After generations of upgrades, will we be able to set up a cannon on Rhodes Island and directly attack Mary Geoise?

Ridiculous! !

Luo Lan was even more shocked.

He had a guess when he saw the design drawing just now.

But in the end, it really was that thing?

"Silas, not only did you invent electricity, you even invented an electromagnetic cannon?"

"Colonel, what is an electromagnetic cannon? Is that the name you gave to this conceptual cannon?"

"Uh...yeah, you're right, from now on this cannon will be called an electromagnetic cannon!"

"Okay, that name is indeed very appropriate."

Silas nodded in agreement.

"Silas, what did you mean when you said you couldn't get on board?"

“Because it’s too big!”

"But the parameters on your design aren't that big, are they?"

"Colonel, this is just the gun itself. To use this gun, we still need to convert cola energy into electrical energy, and this conversion device is about half the size of a second-generation battleship. The worst thing is that our current conversion efficiency is only about 10%, and the remaining 90% of the energy will be wasted in this process."

Okay, Luo Lan understood.

This is indeed impossible to get on board.

Not only is the energy conversion device too large, its conversion efficiency is only 10%.

This is totally useless in actual combat.

That's not right...

If this is completely useless, then why is Silas running here talking for so long?

At this moment, Silas's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Guys, this really wasn't going to work, but now... a complete solution suddenly appeared!"

"What...wait, Silas, are you planning to take over Ace?"

Halfway through his words, Luo Lan suddenly reacted.

Isn't it just electricity...

That’s right, there’s no need for any energy conversion device at all. Just let Ace take charge of the function, isn’t that the end of it?

"Yes, it's just what you think, Colonel!"

"However, this is also destined to not be installed on every warship. After all..."

"We only have one Ace!"

Silas nodded and explained.

Luo Lan looked at Roy.

"Roy, how about installing this thing on one of the battleships?"

"No problem. According to the dimensions on the design, if we remove the two main guns on the bow, there will be enough space for installation!"

Roy answered quickly, without any delay.

"Okay, then it's decided. The flagship will only retain the main gun at the rear, and as for the bow..."

"Just use the electromagnetic cannon on me!"
