Chapter 340 Battleship Modification Plan

Chapter 126 Modification
  Li Tianran didn't know that a woman thousands of kilometers away was worried about his safety at this moment. After lunch, he came to the mountain wall in the southern part of Kuangxi Island again.

  The modification of the warships was proceeding in an orderly manner. The adult-level Combat Berserkers once again demonstrated their amazing working ability. Under Li Tianran's command, the C-t terminal satellite positioning devices originally installed on the warships were all dismantled within three days.

  The technical confidentiality level of these twelve warships was not too high. Strictly speaking, they did not belong to the EU fleet, because these twelve warships were brought by Colonel Nanfu when his country was affiliated with the EU. The satellite positioning system had already been dismantled and updated by the EU once.

  In this situation, Li Tianran almost effortlessly went through this process again.

  After doing all this, the main event arrived.

  Li Tianran's modification of the warships was not limited to the satellite system, but more importantly, the firepower and control!

  Among these twelve warships, eleven were "Batten-Sun Chaser Lightweight" frigates, with a displacement of about 2,500 tons. They were relatively small and lacked firepower, which obviously could not meet Li Tianran's psychological expectations.

  They had to be modified!

  The firepower had to be increased!

  Qin Yiming came up with a set of modification blueprints. In the past, he had seen the data of these heavy weapons in forums, online communities, and intelligent programs. He had already done countless modification operations through simulators. This time, he could finally turn the data into reality.

  "My modification idea is to equip the main weapons with two sets of Tianfeng Rolling Missile, 18 missiles in each set! Their range can reach nine kilometers, which can be used for short-range, low-altitude air defense!"

  "Six anti-ship missiles can be used to bomb medium and large ships, and heavy buildings!"

  "Add a 127mm main gun that fires precision-guided ammunition with a range of over 100 kilometers!"

  "Two 28mm remote-controlled automatic cannons and five 12.7mm heavy machine guns!"

  "Equip water cannons, decoy launchers, and torpedoes!"

  "The advantage of this configuration is that the firepower is greatly increased, almost doubled!" Qin Yiming sat on the stone wall, pointing to the electronic blueprints in front of him and said, "But similarly, this modification also has drawbacks."

  "Our warships have a small displacement, and such a large firepower modification and large ammunition storage will greatly increase the weight of the warships and greatly reduce the speed!"

  "So I canceled all the original remote-controlled submersibles, lifeboats and other self-rescue devices on the warship, and converted the restaurant, food storage warehouse, etc., into ammunition storage depots!"

  Li Tianran looked at Qin Yiming's electronic blueprints. The warships modified in this way were very extreme, with the displacement of a small warship, but the firepower directly chased medium and large warships.

  However, ordinary people could not use this kind of warship at all, because it canceled all logistical support and living space. If ordinary humans worked on this kind of warship, they would not be able to survive at all.

  But adult-level Combat Berserkers were different. They did not need to eat or rest. Before the core energy was exhausted, they could maintain a working state, non-stop.

  Having such employees was a capitalist's dream…

  "Modify it according to this idea!" Li Tianran highly recognized this modification method. Although this method sacrificed some defense and speed, modern technological warfare between large warships, no matter what alloy material the hull was made of, could not withstand a few missiles bombing down.

  Since this was the case, it was better to put all the focus on firepower.

  The best defense is offense!

  Qin Yiming nodded, then turned to look at Li Tianran and spread his hands.

  "What do you mean?" Li Tianran raised his eyebrows and asked.

  "Weapons!" Qin Yiming said with a smile, "Boss, you don't think that actually modifying warships is like writing a program in an intelligent simulator, and you can magically install weapons on the warships, right?"

  "The pile of weapon equipment I just mentioned, except for the heavy machine guns and torpedoes, we don't have any of them right now…" Qin Yiming spread his hands and said helplessly.

  Li Tianran slapped his forehead. He didn't react for a moment.

  Most of the weapons he looted from the Burmese warlords were individual weapons and land weapons. High-precision machine guns and main guns used on warships were not among them at all.

  If he wanted to modify the warships, he needed to get these weapons first.

  Li Tianran opened the system store and found the "Expansion - Weapons - Heavy Weapons Interface".

  Since the lv3 shelter was successfully upgraded, some of the goods in the store had also been unlocked. The weapon interface was very rich, with machine guns, tanks, missiles, and everything else.

  Li Tianran swept down and saw that weapons such as "Intercontinental Missiles", "Nuclear Fission Warheads", and "Nuclear Fusion Warheads" were still in the locked gray interface.

  The lv3 shelter level was "Castle Level", and the unlocked weapon permissions were only limited to the city level. Weapons such as nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles could only be unlocked by upgrading the shelter to lv4 "National Level"...

  The points required for the lv4 shelter upgrade were even more terrifying, reaching 1.2 billion!

  Li Tianran glanced at his store points balance. With the hard work in the southern mining area every day, and the adult-level Berserkers in the planting area swinging their hoes until they were almost smoking, he had only saved about 50 million points in a week.

  "Anti-ship missile, 100,000 points per missile…"

  "Heavy 127mm main gun, 800,000 points…"

  "Rolling missile…"

  After a rough calculation, Li Tianran calculated that the cost of modifying a warship was about three million points, and this was only the modification cost, not including the later ammunition supply and maintenance.

  Since Li Tianran came to Kuangxi Island, he had added a large number of adult-level Combat Berserkers, adding up to seven or eight hundred with the previous Berserkers. He had also added many laser towers and machine gun groups to the farm, and the points were spent like water.

  Although the mining area, planting area, and animal husbandry area could provide Li Tianran with nearly 20 million points of income every day, Li Tianran's life was still stretched.

  At this time, the warship modification plan was obviously going to empty Li Tianran's savings!

  Li Tianran turned to look at Qin Yiming, thought for a moment, and asked, "Look, is there such a situation, that is, modify some of our existing weapons to replace the heavy artillery you just mentioned?"

  Qin Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You mean, modify the RPG into a warship's main gun, and modify the machine gun into a warship's heavy machine gun?"

  "That's right! Look, we're poor now, so we can save as much as we can! There are too many weapons robbed from Myanmar. It would be a waste if we don't use them. Let's change our thinking, turn waste into treasure, is it feasible?" Li Tianran asked.

  Qin Yiming thought for a long time and nodded seriously: "No problem! I'm best at modifying weapons. Even if it's a small pistol, I can modify it to have the power of a mortar!"

  "Leave this to me! I guarantee that you won't spend a penny, and the warships will still reach the expected firepower!"

  Li Tianran was overjoyed, but then felt something was wrong, and asked with wide eyes, "Really? Are you kidding me?"

  "Of course not kidding." Qin Yiming blinked his eyes innocently and said:

  "I was just bragging."
