Chapter 25: Replacing Ship's Equipment
"This one is a Seafire T1 carrier-based aircraft, equipped with four 7.7mm machine guns, two 20mm cannons, and one 500lb bomb. And this one is a F4U Corsair T1 carrier-based aircraft, equipped with six 12.7mm machine guns and two 500lb bombs. In addition, this anti-aircraft gun is a quadruple 28mm 'Chicago Piano' T1 anti-aircraft gun."
While explaining, Fushun took out the carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft guns from the box and placed them in front of Qin Ge and others.
However, what surprised Qin Ge was not the performance of the carrier-based aircraft or the anti-aircraft guns, but their core models themselves.
It was a transparent spherical shield about the size of a fist, with a small white model of an airplane or anti-aircraft gun suspended inside. Although I had read about it in detail in books, it was the first time I had seen it.
Anshan saw this scene and smiled, "It seems that Fushun values Commander Qin Ge very much. These carrier-based aircraft are the best among the T1 ship cores."
"Hehe, after all, he is one of us. If we take out ordinary ones, it would be embarrassing for us commander trainees." Fushun smiled mischievously.
Qin Ge also smiled and thanked, "Thank you Fushun." As he said that, he handed two carrier-based aircraft to the Centaur behind him.
The Centaur took the cores of the two carrier-based aircraft, and in an instant, a blue light flashed, and they turned into two arrows. The arrows were very long, and the color of the arrow feathers was the same as the color of the hairpin on the Centaur's head, both blue.
Then, a blue light flashed on the Centaur's other hand, and her ship-mounted longbow materialized. The red partition below the deck above the longbow popped down, and an arrow chamber for arrows appeared. Qin Ge looked over and found that there was already an arrow in it.
The centaur happily placed the two blue arrows in the same position as the original arrow, then closed the partition. She put her hand on the bowstring, and an arrow like the previous one appeared in her hand.
Qin Ge looked at this magical scene and said in surprise, "Centaur, it turns out that your arrow warehouse is your engine room!"
The Centaur smiled and nodded, "That's right, Commander. I just turned those two carrier-based aircraft into arrows and placed them in my hangar. From now on, whenever I want to fly a carrier-based aircraft, I just need to draw the bowstring, and the arrows transformed from the carrier-based aircraft will appear naturally."
Qin Ge nodded. "So what if you want to launch several carrier-based aircraft at once? Do you have to draw the bow and shoot arrows continuously?"
The Centaur smiled softly, "Of course not, Commander. I can launch several carrier-based aircraft with one arrow, not one arrow for each aircraft. But I am still relatively weak now, and can only launch two fighters and one torpedo plane at a time. But if I reach the breakthrough standard later, I will become stronger and stronger, and the number of aircraft I can launch at the same time will naturally increase."
Qin Ge suddenly realized, "So that's it."
"Haha, do you want to go to the training ground and try it together?" Fushun said with a smile.
"Of course we have to go to the training ground to try it out, but before we go..." Qin Ge smiled slightly, turned to look at Noshiro, and handed the anti-aircraft gun core in his hand to her, "Noshiro, equip this first, and then I will get you a better anti-aircraft gun!"
Noshiro nodded and took the anti-aircraft gunship core from Qin Ge, "Thank you, Commander. I'll leave the combat power enhancement to you!"
"Leave it to me!" Qin Ge said with a smile, "But Nodai, how did you equip this anti-aircraft gun?"
"Like this." Noshiro said, and then the ship outfit was materialized. The gorgeous ship outfit that had been seen before appeared in front of everyone again. Noshiro directly placed the anti-aircraft gun in his hand next to the main gun. A blue light flashed, and the anti-aircraft gun was embedded next to the main gun, as if it was supposed to be there originally.
"It's really convenient!" Qin Ge nodded and said, for example, if you want to replace an anti-aircraft gun on a prototype battleship, you must first dismantle the original anti-aircraft gun, modify it, and then install a suitable anti-aircraft gun. However, these ship girls are really amazing!
"But having said that, Noshiro's ship equipment is really beautiful." Fushun said with some envy.
"As a combat tool, the purpose of a ship's equipment is not to be beautiful. Only practicality is the best." Anshan said to Fushun.
"I know, Sister Anshan, I was just sighing. After all, she is really beautiful." Fushun said with his head shrunken.
Anshan sighed helplessly and said to Qin Ge, "Then Commander Qin Ge, let's go to the training ground together, so that your ship girl can master these new ship equipment as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Qin Ge nodded, "Thank you very much!"
"It's my duty!" Anshan said with a smile, and then he took Qin Ge and his ship girl, as well as Fushun and Taiyuan who were watching the fun nearby, to the training ground.
After coming out of the Four Heavenly Kings’ house, everyone walked towards the training ground together.
As they walked down the road, Anshan introduced, "In the entire Azur Lane Commander Academy, the training ground is a very important location. After all, if you only learn without actual combat, you can't defeat the Siren. So usually, this is the busiest place. After all, through exercises, the ship girls can master their ship equipment faster, and it can also improve the training level of the ship girls themselves."
"I have read about this in a book. Exercises are a very safe way to increase the training level of a ship girl." Qin Ge nodded.
"That's right." Anshan nodded, "And there are many kinds of exercises here, including one-on-one exercises, formation exercises, and squad exercises."
"Oh, I don't know about this. Can you explain it to me?" Qin Ge asked Anshan.
"Okay, you have to wait until you go to school, and I will give you special training, but it's okay to tell you now." Anshan said.
"So-called 1-on-1 drills are very common in the Commander Academy. Because in the first year, most students only have one ship girl, and only a few have two or more, so general drills are conducted one-on-one.
As for formation exercises, it is when there are two or more ship girls cooperating with . This kind of exercise is generally common among second-year students. Because they have completed their initial accumulation outside, there are usually two or more ship girls.
The squad exercise is a joint combat exercise among several commanders. Because many commanders outside have joined the large fleet or the front-line fleet, it is very necessary to coordinate the exercise. This kind of squad exercise can not only exercise the commander's command ability, but also increase the degree of cooperation between the commanders, because the squad exercises are generally very fixed squads.
After graduation, teams like this will basically join the same large fleet, because the longer they cooperate with each other, the more they can display their strength in battle and gain the greatest chance of survival!"
