Chapter 783
The first floating battleship was used by Perfico and its main gun was removed.
If it were in the original world, it would be very troublesome to replace the main gun of a warship. After all, the main gun of a warship is not only the gun barrel on the deck, but also the ammunition supply system under the deck is larger than the gun barrel on the deck.
If you want to replace the main gun, you have to pull out the entire system completely from under the deck before you can replace the new main gun.
The entire process is quite complicated, and it takes a long time even in the war years.
However, in this world, because of the existence of alchemy, it becomes relatively easier to replace the main gun.
Just use alchemy to disassemble the connecting structure of the main gun turret, and then use lifting equipment to lift the turret out.
The floating ship is even simpler because one of its main guns is installed at the bottom of the ship. As long as the connecting structure of the main gun turret and the hull are removed, the turret is supported by a support below, and the warship floats on its own and can remove the turret from the warship.
After removing the original turret of the floating ship, Perficote installed the already-made electromagnetic cannon.
There is a huge difference between electromagnetic guns and traditional guns. In order to ensure the launch of electromagnetic guns, Perficote also specially set up a charging system inside the turret to charge the capacitors.
The fully charged capacitor will be installed on the barrel of the electromagnetic gun to provide power to the electromagnetic coil.
The reason why the charging system is not directly connected to the electromagnetic gun is mainly because the charging system is not at a high speed and cannot instantly release a strong enough current.
So the electromagnetic gun must use capacitors to achieve instantaneous discharge, so that a strong enough current can pass through the electromagnetic coil, thereby providing enough magnetic force for the coil to fire the shell.
Although it is not impossible to directly charge the capacitor on the electromagnetic gun, the charging speed is very slow. It often takes a long time to charge the second round after the round, which is really a bit useless in actual combat.
The removable capacitor designed by Perficote does not have this problem. As long as the soldiers are skilled enough to replace the capacitor, the shell can be fired at two to three rounds in a minute.
This rate of fire is already terrifying enough for a large caliber main gun of a warship.
After seeing the test-fire power of electromagnetic cannons and how the sailors fired three guns in a minute, the men in the Navy evaluated it as "As long as the shells are sufficient, just one cannon can sink a whole fleet in naval battle."
Of course, it is obviously impossible to sink a whole fleet in actual combat, after all, all kinds of situations are possible.
But if it is a combination of floating ships and electromagnetic guns, it can really sink an entire traditional naval fleet.
Who made them not have effective means of empty space?
The technological development of this world was basically at the early stage of the first industrial revolution before Perficote stepped on the accelerator. Although the warship pointed out the ironclad ship, the concept of air defense had not yet appeared.
Otherwise, during the 17th Day War, Perficote would not have bombed only with airships, completely defeated the three old world powers, and destroyed the capitals of the Three Kingdoms, causing millions of deaths.
Anyone with a decent level of air defense will not be beaten so badly.
However, before the airships hit the sky, people in this world really did not have the concepts of flight and air defense.
The Empire Navy tried to study air defense after seeing the powerful air superiority of airships, but the Empire's primary goal at that time was to deal with the end of the world, so it did not invest much in the research of the military.
The men from the Navy and Army departments could only fund several weapons engineers themselves to find ways to study air defense weapons. After all, both warships and army were bombed on the ground. If they really encountered bombing of airships, they didn’t want to turn into barbecue, so they still had to order some air defense weapons.
But over the past few years, these engineers have not developed any results worth mentioning.
After all, the technological difference between weapons is too big, and you can't ask to light up anti-aircraft guns when you are still using a bore gun.
If Perficote had not produced some research results, I'm afraid the Navy and the Army would have staged a famous scene of gathering stars to block the door again.
But even so, the Army only has some anti-aircraft machine guns, which can comfort itself a little when it is bombed, at least it can resist.
However, the navy successfully obtained the ownership of the airship, and they had the air power themselves, so they naturally became more concerned about air defense...
Only by personally experiencing the smooth combat under air superiority, can we know how important air defense is to ground forces.
Although all the navy's warships remained on the empire's land and were frozen on the ocean, the imperial navy did not disappear, but instead transformed into the "air force" that drove airships.
Of course, even though it has already flown in the sky, the Navy still calls itself the Navy.
One of their research results in air defense is to use high-speed airships with air defense machine guns as the fleet's air defense firepower point. After several high-speed airships form a firepower network, they can effectively intercept the airships.

But this kind of thing... it's okay to block the airship whose airbags will be broken. Want to block the floating ship wrapped in thick armor?
The Navy tested it and the floating ship didn't even need to return to the port to make up the paint.
This has a huge impact on the Navy. They devoted themselves to the tests of floating ships and electromagnetic guns with great enthusiasm.
Whether Perficote needs manpower, intelligence or resources, they are providing it in limited quantities, striving to meet all the requirements of this lady.
At the same time, the Navy is also increasing its efforts to urge the construction of new floating ships, but has modified the original main gun plan, changing from traditional artillery to electromagnetic guns.
During the test, both the Navy and Perficote realized the power of the electromagnetic gun.
Perficot's perception of this is that he finally has practical weapons that can fight against the gods, while the Navy thinks that he finally has weapons that can effectively defend air.
Although the two have some differences in their ideas and cognitions, both sides generally recognize the effectiveness of electromagnetic guns.
So Perficote put the previous plan to use ancient beasts to test electromagnetic cannons to fire shell-piercing shells on the agenda.
And she also specially called Ailly over, hoping that she would evaluate the power of the electromagnetic cannon and confirm whether it has the power of a god-killing force.
Although Perficote has seen the gods and killed the gods, the last time he used an electromagnetic cannon to fire a thermopress bomb against the gods, he did not achieve any good results.
This time, she wanted to hear how Aili, an elf girl who had seen the power of the gods, evaluated it.
