Charge King and the others saw for the first time a ship that would assemble itself, and they were all dumbfounded with shock. The veteran crew members had taken it easy.

What they were more concerned about was the construction process of the ship.

The ship was about 120 meters long! The gun decks were all canceled. Due to the cancellation of the gun decks, the height of the ship appeared lower.

The bow gun and stern gun also disappeared. Raine's heart was dripping blood when he saw these changes.

"My cannons! My howitzers! My armor-piercing guns! They've all been canceled? What the hell is this?"

Although the firepower cabin was canceled, there were a few more launcher batteries on the open deck.

The forecastle was moved to the center of the ship. The chimney was divided into two and built behind the building. The hull still retained the all-metal construction but without the wooden camouflage.

The whole ship was 122 meters in length, 13 meters in width, and 5 meters in draft. The lines of the whole ship were simple, smooth, and highly metallic.

"This is..." A group of people inexplicably shifted to the new boat before Charge King had finished his words.

After many evolutions, Raine still couldn't keep calm. Especially the hull change was too big in this evolution. He impatiently opened the system.

"Don't cheat me. Can these five guns be compared to so many of my previous cannons? Quickly, open the basic information template!"

The system quickly displayed the information on the panel.

[Host: Raine]

[Vessel: Optimized Fletcher-class Destroyer]

[Ship Compartment: 200 (crew compartment), 2 (large storage compartment), power room (3), air-to-air radar control station (1), sea-to-sea radar control room (1), backup radar control room (1), small control room (5), power compartment (8)]

"Radar control room?" Raine was stunned when he saw these words.

He had been worried that he didn't have enough radar range. The radar detection range of his system did not expand too much with each upgrade. But He did not expect that the ship was equipped with its own radar control room! This perfectly solved the shortcoming of insufficient radar coverage area.

[Crew size: 59 (all positions have been assigned, open to view details)]

[Ship speed: 35 knots maximum (open for details)]

[Combat power: 43,000 (can be viewed in the crew information and weapon system)]

[Evolution: 5 million black pearls (open for details)]

The new ship's stats had become very simple. The fire cabin no longer exists and the loading capacity had been eliminated.

Perhaps because the ship was completely developed in the direction of a battleship, the system had eliminated these less important data displays.

The two data Raine was most concerned about were ship speed and combat power. It had a substantial increase in ship speed this time, soaring directly to 35 knots, which made Raine quite satisfied.

And that's on top of the ship's own weight being raised so much! It looked like the power system must have changed dramatically.

However, the combat power was actually only 43,000!? Raine got a face of question marks, "What? Combat power reduced? Why don't you just degrade me to Napoleon? I want to go back to the human class sea!"

With this kind of combat power, he couldn't even get along in the beast-class sea!

Raine almost collapsed, "Look at the weapon system first!"

[Lightning-series Artillery (flat-firing type): triple mk12 type 38x caliber high and flat dual-purpose artillery: Quantity (3). Maximum elevation angle: 35 degrees. Range: 70000 meters. The maximum rate of fire is 24 rounds/minute. The initial speed of the shell is 800 m / sec. Single shell attack power: 800. Total attack power: 7200.]

[Lightning-series Artillery (anti-aircraft type): Triplex mk12 38x high and flat dual-purpose artillery: Quantity (2). Maximum elevation angle: 85 degrees. Range: 5,000 meters against air. Total attack power: 4800.]

[Lightning-series Shipboard Heavy Machine Gun (Manual Control): 40mm caliber. Quantity (1). Range 2800m. Rate of fire: 200 rounds/min. Single shot attack power 180. Total attack power 180.]

[Lightning-series Shipboard Light Machine Gun (Manually Control): 20mm caliber. Quantity (1). Range 2200m, rate of fire: 500 rounds/min. Single shot attack power 80. Total attack power 80.]

[Assassin Spiral Instrument Controllable Torpedo: Attack Power 500. Quantity 40. Attack Power 20,000.]

[Tier 2 Iron Armor Hull: Defense power 5000. Average defense power 500.]

As far as the combat power given by the system was concerned, it was actually only 37000. The rest of the combat power should come from the crew.

Raine who almost collapsed just now couldn't help but cursed after seeing this set of data, "You stupid system scared the hell out of me. Why don't you add this kind of continuous fire cannon attack power to it? A gun with 24 rounds a minute and you just give me to calculate the attack power of one shell?

"This cannon is so awesome. It can fire one in three or four seconds!"

Raine gasped and hurriedly recalculated the combat power himself.

Lightning flat-firing cannon, the total attack power was 172,800 based on one minute!

Lightning anti-aircraft gun, the total attack power was 115200 based on one minute!

Lightning light machine gun, the total attack power was 40,000!

Lightning heavy machine gun, the total attack power was 36,000!

Other things remained the same, so the total combat power of the weapon system should be 389,000!

Raine finally let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately not really as the dumb system statistics of 40,000 combat power...

After putting his heart at rest, Raine then quickly looked at the power system.

This time the power system used new technology. It consisted of oil-fired boilers plus steam turbines, using two shafts and two propellers to propel the ship and substantially increasing its speed.

In addition, Raine took a special look at the radar control room. The radars contained a radar scanning system and a firepower control system. It could achieve integrated and effective control of the entire weapon system by itself upon receiving Raine's command.

The ship set up three power rooms. One for the main power room. One for the weapons power room. And one for the backup power room.

After looking around, Raine's biggest impression was that he is now developing into a modern warship.

Although the performance of the current ship was not up to the strength of modern warships, the level of technology had increased substantially compared with the previous ships. Especially the power and weapon systems.

During the period from World War I to World War II, the technological level of the ship also increased substantially with the great changes brought about by the industrial revolution

"Hey, I'm really looking forward to the ships behind me!" Raine was in a good mood and walked out of the captain's room with great pleasure.

At this moment, Charge King suddenly ran over and pulled Raine, "Captain, 30 places are not enough. Give me 30 more!"

"Yes, captain, many people think that we go to the king class sea to look for death, but now... no, I must go to the king class sea. That is my childhood dream!" Old Bai tightly pulled Raine's other hand.

Shobe also hugged Raine, "Captain, nothing to say. I will not go even if you kill me!"
