Chapter 1408: The Command Ship's Decision
Yang Sikang fully understood why this kind of weapon, which might not even be able to escape after being launched, was sealed up and not even tested.
After all, safety is always a priority here, and the design concept of this thing is still a bit too outrageous.
“You should change your mindset.”
Yang Sikang suggested:
"It's actually not necessary to simply increase the power. Stacking destructive power and stacking armor is an endless race. We can get some inspiration from other aspects, such as the weapons used by the army.
What if we could imitate the principle of tank armor-piercing shells and focus the impact of the explosion in one direction, or even create a special jet to penetrate the defense? "
"Well, but underwater weapons are very difficult to make like this."
"But we have special production equipment that allows us to use some less conventional designs."
Yang Sikang reminded:
"The enemy we are dealing with is already very strong in terms of defense, so it is difficult to defeat them simply by stacking destructive power. You understand this, right?"
After Yang Sikang finished speaking, Yu Zhang nodded reluctantly.
The Siren production ships are now defenseless against their torpedoes, but this is not the case for the Siren Type II and Type III ships.
Even though a long time had passed since Yang Sikang got these samples and materials, if he wanted to solve the problem in one go with destructive force alone, he still had to rely on the firepower of the main fleet.
Whether it's a battleship's straddle-fire or an aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft dropping bombs, the real solution is to avoid the most defensive armor layer and attack the top to eliminate the enemy.
But since the destroyer is not going to give up the torpedo as a high-powered weapon, it has to consider the problem of armor.
"Take your time. There's no need to rush."
Yang Sikang said with a smile, and Yu Zhang nodded sullenly.
"In fact, we can start by modifying this part of the launcher."
Yang Sikang said directly:
"How about designing a special launcher that is only suitable for shipgirls, so that it can launch a specific type of torpedo?"
"Hmm, it only applies to the torpedo launchers of the ship girls? In that case..."
Without even saying hello, Yubari suddenly turned around and ran out quickly. It seemed that he had some inspiration.
Yang Sikang shook his head helplessly. There was no doubt about Yuzhang's scientific research ability. Her scientific research strength in equipment and ship installations was also second to none, but sometimes the things she came up with... were indeed dangerous.
"We need to have someone keep an eye on it so that nothing weird happens."
Thinking of this, Yang Sikang checked the time and sent a message to Belfast.
The situation in Yubari was a small episode. While other people were not there yet, Yang Sikang began to prepare a list of needed items and sort out some special things.
The Black Rubik's Cube that was brought back earlier also had a new container. After Yang Sikang spent some time making it, he carefully transferred the Black Rubik's Cube to the new container and observed it carefully for an hour. Only after confirming that it was stable did he put it into the closely monitored outer container.
He then checked the other processed mind cubes he had placed here, and this inspection also brought him some unexpected information.
These mind cubes that have been processed to varying degrees seem to have been affected by the black cube, showing a different state of mutation than before, and the data are fluctuating.
After carefully counting these data, Yang Sikang found that the degree of interference of these Rubik's Cubes was highly correlated with the degree of modification, but the change was not linear.
The data fluctuations are very unstable. Some data groups will suddenly be much higher than other surrounding data groups. There are also cases where the linear growth line suddenly jumps off a cliff and then pulls back sharply.
This abnormal state aroused Yang Sikang's interest, so he increased the amount of machines used to observe and record these data, but he still has not processed them further.
By the time he left the laboratory, it was already quite late. Belfast and Memphis had already arrived and were waiting for him at the door.
The maid handed the prepared data to Lexington and War-weary, while Yang Sikang handed down the preparations he had made early today. Naturally, he did not need to personally participate in the procurement process, but the observation room had to prepare anew every time.
Especially the dock. When Yang Sikang brought two people to the dock, he stood in front of the three empty docks and thought seriously.
"Are you thinking about the command ship?"
Memphis asked.
"I guess so. The Gu Diao is unusable right now, so I do need a reliable command ship. But in terms of scale...what I want most is to connect these three docks to form a giant ship."
He had this idea when he was building the development dock, so at that time the three docks in the development dock were connected to form a giant dock.
However, until now he has not been able to solve the energy supply problem, and the Mind Cube Matrix, a reliable energy source that he knew of, has never been realized.
I wouldn't be discouraged. After all, it's not surprising to not get any results in scientific research for several years.
But he has a rigid demand, so this problem becomes a bit troublesome.
"But realistically speaking, I should first build a command ship that is suitable for current needs in order to cope with large-scale operations that may occur at any time."
Yang Sikang sighed helplessly:
"I'm struggling with this problem right now. It takes quite some time to build a powerful command ship at this stage. However, based on the current situation of the confrontation exercise, my original plan to go to the Bermuda Islands to see if I can trigger something has to be postponed."
The benefits of the confrontation exercise are visible and tangible. If we can trigger an illusion or something in the Bermuda Islands, we may make a lot of money, but if nothing is triggered, it will be a false alarm.
In comparison, he would rather get tangible benefits first, but if that were the case, his trip to the Bermuda Islands would have to be delayed a lot.
"The Bermuda Islands have just been completed, and the ground part has not yet been inspected. Even if you go there, you may not be able to trigger anything, right?"
Memphis said, Yang Sikang nodded helplessly.
"Then, how about arranging the decoration and layout there now, and finding time to go there after the second or third round of exercises? As for the command ship, I think we can first imitate the mass-produced ship of the Gu Diao. If nothing is triggered by then, we can use it as a new temporary command ship. If there is a better option, we can use it as the leader of the existing mass-produced ships."
Memphis said quickly:
"Although it will take some time, the flexibility should be higher this way... Um, Commander, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yang Sikang looked at Memphis in surprise, and Memphis realized it belatedly and felt a little embarrassed.
Yang Sikang laughed and shook his head:
"Nothing. Well, let's do as you say."
