Chapter 1835 Complete Body

The Swan's mission this time was not flank support or assault landing, or rather, not all of them.

The current mission is guarding and observation.

The objects of escort were more than a dozen large transport ships following behind the cruise ship formation. When the fleet stopped maneuvering, the large transport ships also stopped one after another and quickly unloaded a large amount of cargo from the ships, and then floated directly in the microgravity environment of the void.

Many people drove construction machinery to quickly open the containers and dragged out parts from them, apparently assembling some very large equipment.

This is definitely not equipment that can be transported by one ship at a time, otherwise it would not be divided into so many pieces and transported by more than ten large transport ships.

Li Chengxi saw this scene and said in surprise:

"What are they assembling?"

"A secret weapon, a practical Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon."

Research on this extremely powerful cannon began long before the war, but there were too many problems to be solved, and due to lack of funds and personnel, progress was very slow.

Demand is always the driving force behind research and development. The start of the war and the real threat of the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer caused the development of the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon, which was still experimental after ten years of development, to be accelerated madly.

The initial experimental version was destroyed after three shots, and had to be temporarily modified from a starship-class battleship to be powered.

The later improved versions weren't much better, as they still had to rely on starships for power, and would be doomed after just a few shots. They were only designed to deal with reactor jammers.

It was not until now that it was brought up.

Its size is still too large for ordinary warships to carry. To be honest, it is only a practical version and cannot be considered a complete version.

The goal of the Xuanshui Federation is to replace the main guns on the main battleships with this new type of artillery. As of now, there is still a long way to go.

But at least now it is not necessary to use starship modifications, which is a big improvement in itself.

After all, the number of starships is limited, and if they are allocated to the Thunder Sea Serpent Cannons, there will be less left for the fleet.

At present, the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon is like a naked cannon pulled by a horse-drawn cart, and is sent to the vicinity of the battlefield by a transport ship and assembled. It no longer needs a starship-level reactor for energy supply, but uses huge compressed magic power for charging.

There are more than a dozen heavy transport ships, three of which are responsible for transporting parts, and the remaining cargo ships are filled with special huge magic compression tanks.

According to tests, the interval between each shot of the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon is only ten minutes, and it can fire more than ten rounds continuously. After forced cooling, inspection and maintenance, it can fire ten rounds again.

Even if the Red Maple Republic still has two or even three reactor jammers, as long as it dares to show up, it will be targeted and singled out by the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon.

It is impossible for a large fleet to bypass the main battleship to attack the Thunder Sea Serpent Cannon, but it is not ruled out that small ships may bypass it in stealth, so the cruise ship formation led by the Swan is now acting as a guard.

While the Thunder Sea Serpent Cannon was still being assembled, the main fleet had already started the fight.

Countless ion beams were reflected on the glass of the Swan's bridge. In an instant, the magnificent light overshadowed the starlight in the distance, and even the light of the stars was somewhat dimmed.

There was no tentative attack, and the fight was intense once it started.

This time, the Xuanshui Federation has mobilized all of its forces, with 11 main fleets alone, not counting assault landing ships and transport ships.

As for the Red Maple Republic, according to the intelligence sent back by the agents, it is said that there are also seven or eight fleets, and a large number of temporarily modified armed merchant ships. In terms of paper data, the Red Maple Republic has been pushed to the point of desperation, and is not as good as the Rotating Water Federation, but after all, it is also a superpower, and it may still have doomsday black technology that can scare you.

What's more, the Red Maple Republic is secretly supported by the Molybdenum Group, and the Glow Ion Hermitage, the actual controller of the Molybdenum Group, might also send a fleet. In short, we must be careful.

The Swan was sent to perform the escort mission, which was actually the military's care for Alyssa.

After all, this is the final battle, and the heroes on the battlefield must not be harmed, otherwise the victory will be incomplete and the people do not want to see such a situation.

The performance of the Swan in previous battles and the publicity gimmick that Alyssa was the granddaughter of a hero gave her a layer of indestructible golden body. The people absolutely did not want to see the news that the Swan was destroyed, so it was natural to put her in a relatively safe place.

But Li Chengxi was in a difficult situation.

This battle was a good opportunity for him to find out about the Glow Ion Hermitage. The Swan was squatting in the back guarding the Thunder Serpent Cannon...

I don't think it will work.

But Li Chengxi didn't say anything. After all, the battle had just begun and anything could happen. He couldn't be too sure and just wait and see what happened.

The process of assembling the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon was faster than expected. The workers in charge of the assembly should have rehearsed it many times in advance. Everyone did the task at hand in an orderly manner. Just like gathering sand to form a tower, a huge gun barrel floating in the void gradually took shape.

The appearance of this thing is very simple. It looks like a gun barrel divided into three sections, and each section has a pair of wings.

The wings are actually a structure with a large number of recoil nozzles, which are used to offset the recoil when firing, to prevent the gun from flying away when firing in a void environment.

It is divided into three sections to facilitate assembly and maintenance. The three sections of the gun body will not be completely put together, but will be kept aligned with the assistance of lasers. The ultra-high intensity ion beam that has undergone three-level acceleration will penetrate all shields.

The staff are now busy connecting cables to the assembled gun body and installing the compressed magic tank.

The huge tank looks larger than the water storage tank in the water tower. Each shot requires fifty such huge tanks. No wonder a large number of heavy transport ships are sent for transportation.

The tanks were connected to the last section of the gun body one by one, and energy was continuously injected into the barrel.

Although the reactor jammer has not appeared yet, this does not prevent the assembled Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon from firing a few shots to see the situation.

This distance has exceeded the range of the starship's main gun, but it is not beyond the range of the Thunder Sea Serpent Cannon.

It's like a super powerful sniper that has been set up and loaded with bullets, and is aimed at a distance that others can't reach, ready to fire.

Long was leaning on the porthole and looking out with envy. Inside the crystal ball, hazy light was spinning around.

"Don't even think about it. There's no way we'll be allowed to touch this kind of secret weapon."

"I know. I really envy the gunner of the cannon. There aren't many opportunities to operate such a huge cannon."

The Thunder Sea Serpent Cannon is the same as a naval gun. It only requires one gunner to control it, and the auxiliary mechanisms around it can help with small-range movement and aiming.

However, because it is a naked cannon, it does not have automatic loading and requires a large number of support personnel to do logistics.

Everyone on the Swan was waiting for the Thunder Serpent Cannon to fire, until a series of ear-piercing alarms sounded.
