All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

In terms of the number of battleships, the Chinese fleet under Ye Bai is naturally inferior to those player organizations, even if the members of these player organizations have not received fleet orders and have not formed a formal fleet recognized by the system.

The huge base of player organizations allows these organizations to easily build a large fleet, which is far beyond what Ye Bai can match today.

It's a pity that no matter how many players are organized and how large the fleet is, it will not be of much use in this system activity. After all, in this kind of breaking-up battle, it is not just the combat capabilities of the player fleet that are competing. , and more importantly, is actually the reconnaissance capability.

From the port they are currently in, we can guess how large the area of ​​​​this activity space will be. The system must have taken action to expand the map area, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many players and NPCs.

On the vast sea, if there is no strong reconnaissance ability to detect the transport fleet in time, even with a huge fleet, it can only stare blankly. At this point, the only ship in the entire player camp The Chinese fleet of aircraft carriers has an absolute advantage.

What's more, the reason why Ye Bai is so confident is that the most critical point is that in the activities where the system is open, the evaluation standard is based on the player's single performance, not relying on the power of numbers. Most people can get high ratings from the system.

Through the glass of the porthole, Ye Bai could see the player warships moored in the port setting off one by one, making the originally densely packed port suddenly look a little empty.

Just as he was about to give Lütjens the order to set sail, Ye Bai, who was leaving the port, suddenly had his eyes fixed. He found that there were many figures moving around inside the port. The most important thing was that these people were not guards. Many of the soldiers at the port were wearing civilian clothes.

With a move in his heart, Ye Bai asked Ramsay to temporarily command the fleet, parked at the dock, specially called Lütjens, and at the same time took several logistics officers, businessmen and Marines serving as guards, and left. We took the Yan~Huang number and boarded the pier.

The existence of those suspected system NPCs wearing civilian clothes made Ye Bai feel that he seemed to have ignored this port base. Anyway, this event would last for 3 days, so there was no need to rush, so he simply went inside the port to take a look, maybe he could still There is an unexpected gain -.

Moreover, it was mentioned in the mission briefing that these ports themselves provide logistical supplies to the player warships participating in this system activity. This shows that there must be a trading market within the ports. If you don't explore it carefully, you will be at a disadvantage..

This is a port in Germany during World War II. Their technological level at this time is probably much ahead of the time of the great voyage. It doesn’t need to be more. If you can buy some advanced technology, you can save a lot of money. Time.

Sure enough, there is indeed a large trading market inside the port. There are so many merchants in the market that Ye Bai is dazzled, but many of them only sell basic living supplies such as food and fresh water. Occasionally there are some merchants. Military supplies such as ammunition and fuel are also sold.

But the key point is that these things are of no use to Ye Bai. What he wants to find is some more advanced gadgets. There are so many merchants who don't know how long it will take to find them.

At this time, Lütjens, who was specially brought by Ye Bai, played a role. For him, this port was actually like going home. The same skin color and the same language made Lütjens and these system NPCs There is no barrier to communication.

In fact, there is a system, and there is no obstacle to Ye Bai's communication with these system NPCs. Anyway, no matter what language is used, it will be directly translated into their respective native languages ​​by the system.

But the natural intimacy brought by the same culture and the same race is something that Ye Bai simply cannot do. Only Lütjens can.

Ye Bai's magical stroke played a great role. Although Lütjens was unable to command and mobilize the garrison at the port and the naval fleet of the Third Reich, he learned a lot of secret information through the mouths of soldiers and civilians.

Taking advantage of this, Ye Bai wandered around the trading market for a while. When he returned to Yanhuang, the expression on his face was very comfortable, but he felt a little heartache in his heart. The money that was originally as high as 450 million had dropped to 300 million, which is one and a half short of the target.

However, although he spent a lot of money, it was completely worth it for his gains in the trading market.

At this moment, the entire port terminal was more than half empty, with only a small number of warships still docked at the berths. Lütjens, who returned to the Yanhuang, officially took over the command of the fleet. He was originally resting in the small space of the logistics cabin. The officers and soldiers also returned to the warships.

All the battleships in the entire fleet were fully manned. Under the command of Lütjens, they set sail one after another and quickly left the port dock. Fortunately, this time, all the battleships had German flags hanging on their masts. Indistinguishable.

Even on the radar display screen, the logos of the player warships and the Third Reich Navy warships are the same color, belong to the same camp, and are equally indistinguishable.

Those players who had not yet left the port saw such a fleet leaving the port, and subconsciously thought that it was a fleet belonging to the system NPC, and did not pay too much attention. Some players originally wanted to follow behind to see if there was any bargain, but as a result After learning that the speed of this aircraft carrier fleet was as high as 30 knots, the original plan was instantly abandoned.

Except for light cruisers, players whose ships are destroyers simply cannot keep up with this speed.

The fleet left the port, and all command matters were handed over to Lütjens, while Ye Bai counted the harvest this time.

Although Ye Bai spent a full 150 million in the trading market, the things he bought were not many. The most expensive thing among them was the ship engine construction technical manual. With this technology, Ye Bai could Build an engine building factory in a small space to manufacture various power equipment.

If we build various warships in the future, we no longer need to purchase the not-so-cheap power system equipment from the system mall, and we can be completely self-sufficient.

This alone cost Ye Bai 50 million yuan. If Ye Bai didn't have sufficient funds, he would really be reluctant to buy this technical manual. The key is that the technological level inside is not very high. According to Scientists' analysis can, at best, produce the power equipment needed for a Fletcher-class destroyer.

There is little that can be done about the power equipment needed for cruiser-level battleships and above. However, considering that there is a scientific research center in the logistics module, with this technical manual, those scientists should be able to continue to research and develop on this basis. This kind of cost is also worth it.

Another point is that Ye Bai has always considered transforming the power system of the freighter. With this technical manual, it can become a reality. It is much easier for civilian ships than military ships.

In addition to engine technical manuals, Ye Bai also used all the remaining 100 million funds to purchase various technologies, including carrier-based aircraft engine manufacturing technology, level 3 radar manufacturing technology, steel smelting technology, oil smelting technology, and optical measurement technology. Distance meter technology.

Starting with this series of technologies, to be honest, the improvement in the hard power of the fleet is limited. The most intuitive ones are level 3 radar manufacturing technology and optical rangefinder technology. The former can enable radar manufacturers to have the ability to produce level 3 radars, thus Upgrade the radar system on the Yanhuang to level 7.

Although the role of the latter is not as great as that of the fire control radar, it can effectively improve the bombardment hit rate of the battleship's main gun, which is also very critical.

On the contrary, some other technologies are more useful in the small space of the logistics cabin. They can further enhance the technical reserves of each factory, further reduce production costs, and provide corresponding technical information to the scientific research center for scientists to study.

As soon as he returned to the Yanhuang, Ye Bai sent these technical manuals to the small space of the logistics cabin, allowing those experts and scientists to quickly absorb the technologies and transform them into productivity.

This harvest gave Ye Bai an idea. Since these things can be purchased in this port, what about other ports?

Although the port where Ye Bai is located is large and has many player warships parked, it is not worth mentioning to the hundreds of millions of players. In other words, there are more ports in this activity space..

What kind of technology will be sold in these ports?

When he thought of this, Ye Bai couldn't bear it any longer. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put the 4-level Linxian-class light cruiser that had been built before but had not been used on the trading board.

And using the function of the trading section, a sky-high price was directly marked, and a specific requirement was put forward. The transaction can only be carried out through construction drawings or technical manuals. Those who are interested can discuss it in detail.

This time, in order to seize this opportunity and obtain more advanced technologies from the activity space, Ye Bai no longer cares about exposing his identity. Anyway, his identity will be exposed sooner or later. For these technologies, he must make some It takes sacrifice.

What's more, he has been unwilling to reveal his identity before, more to avoid unnecessary trouble. It's not that those players will really do anything to him, and it's not that Ye Bai is really afraid of these players.

At worst, he wouldn't dock and would just wander around the sea. With the small space in the logistics cabin, he didn't care about logistics at all.

Even this exposure can increase his popularity among Blue Star players.It might have a beneficial impact on his arms deal.

In order to facilitate some interested players to discuss transactions with him, Ye Bai also deliberately reopened the friend application function that was originally closed. As a result, as soon as it was opened, countless system prompts came out, all of which were requests to add friends. So..
