Alien Knights

Chapter 445: The problem is like a mountain

? "Remove the current Cabinet Prime Minister?" Todd suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute, Emerson, isn't the Cabinet Prime Minister you yourself?"

Emerson smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I am here to propose to dismiss myself."

Todd frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I made a mistake." Emerson looked at Todd and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that when the Guyan City was attacked, a messenger came to the front line for help. Because of your absence, I made a decision without authorization. The "War Cabinet" was established, the cabinet meeting was temporarily suspended, and all members were required to fully support the war without any objections."

Todd hesitated for a moment, and said: "The matter is urgent to power. The war is imminent. Naturally, there is no time for the cabinet to meet and discuss slowly. At that time, you established the war cabinet. This does not seem to be a problem."

Emerson solemnly said: "Your Majesty, what is the cabinet? The cabinet is the department that assists and assists the royal family in managing the kingdom. If the power of the cabinet prime minister is not controlled and restricted, it will create the dictatorship of those in power."

"Take this war as an example. Although the establishment of the wartime cabinet was a last resort measure, this practice concentrated power briefly on one person. In the short term, this measure is conducive to the deployment of the kingdom. War resources, but if the person in power is an ambitious or a lunatic, it is very easy to cause the entire country to slip into the abyss of war."

Todd chewed on Emerson's words carefully, always feeling that what he was talking about now seemed to be somewhat similar to some history in the previous life.

"Let me give the simplest example. Once the prime minister decides to use the pretext of war to adjust his power and scope of functions, then he may use this method to consolidate power and eradicate dissidents. In addition to some sensational speeches and hypocrisy The glory of the unknowing people will be deceived by it and become a political tool without knowing it..."

Todd interrupted Emerson's words: "In this battle of Lone Rock City, Twilight West has set up a wartime cabinet. As a king, I actually have an unshirkable responsibility. If I were in the war, If we can contact the cabinet in time, there will be no disputes today."

Cumberland cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I still want to ask again, where have you been? When do you plan to return to West Side?"

Todd was silent for a moment and said: "I'm in the north, and I'm dealing with some affairs. In a short time, the affairs of the kingdom will still be handled by the cabinet."

Without waiting for Cumberland to ask another question, Todd said: “Emerson’s proposal for the removal of the prime minister this time, I rejected this proposal because of the cause. Regarding the emergencies that may arise in the kingdom in the future, I will look for a feasible one. The solution. This topic will stop here, the next topic."

Ignoring Emerson's speech, Todd directly asked the next official to report.

After everyone reported, Todd made a gesture to Huggins beside him.

The latter said: "Today's meeting is here for the time being."

Seeing everyone standing up from their seats, Hudgens suddenly said: "Mr. Dunlop, please wait a moment, Your Majesty has something to ask you."

Wayne froze, turned his head to look at Todd who was expressionless, and sighed secretly.

The first question the king raised was a bit beyond his expectation.

"I heard that the keel battleship also participated in the battle in Guyan City. What was the result?"

Wayne saluted Todd and said concisely: "The results are excellent, and the problems are like mountains."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Todd's face: "What do you say?"

Turning on the 3D projection equipment on the conference table, Wayne called up the model of the keel battleship by hand and began to play some clips of the naval battle.

"Let’s talk about the weapon first. The weapon called "spore" is driven by black powder. Once it touches water, the powder cannot be ignited when it gets wet. Therefore, this weapon cannot be launched underwater. After being separated from the hull, it actually Fly to the target in the air."

Wayne showed the flight trajectory of the spores on the 3D projection, and pointed to the screen and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, have you seen it? The trajectory of this launch can be maintained as a straight line in the first half, and it is caused by gunpowder in the second half. Irregular combustion and damage to the tail wing will cause great uncertainty in the trajectory."

Todd looked at the "spores" on the screen, but he only flew 20 or 30 meters, and he began to gradually deviate from the orbit. The hit rate is very low."

Wayne nodded and said: "Yes, when a warship is conducting a spore attack, it must be very close to the enemy ship and use multiple bursts at the same time to hit the target."

"But getting too close to the enemy ship will make him enter the explosion radius." Todd touched his chin and muttered to himself in distress: "It's exactly like a handheld nuclear bomb launcher..."

"Moreover, in addition to the problems of too close range and unreliable ballistics, Spore missiles also have a very high failure rate." Wayne said with some headaches: "Whether it is experimental or actual combat, only about 70% of the spore missiles hit the target. The number has finished exploding."

"The reason?"

"Based on the results of many tests, I infer that the kinetic energy generated during the impact is not enough."

Todd was a little surprised when he heard the word "kinetic energy" in Wayne's mouth.

Wayne went on to explain: "When black gunpowder advances the missile, due to the impurity and incomplete combustion of the gunpowder, its flight speed generally changes in stages. In the event of a collision, it is possible that the speed of the missile has slowed down to a certain extent, and it has not reached the minimum threshold for spore impact and explosion."

Todd nodded slightly while listening, "Is there a solution?"

"Not yet. There are too many improvement elements involved. For example, gunpowder materials, projectile design, parasite breeding and physical calculations, etc." Wayne shook his head helplessly, looked at Todd and continued, "Your Majesty, In addition to weapons, other places such as hulls, structures, sails, propulsion, etc., have big or small problems. But if you compare them with one thing, they all become minor problems."

"whats the matter?"

"The pilot of the keel battleship."

Todd thought about it and said, "If I remember correctly, the pilot of this ship is Aisha. Is it because she disobeyed orders and made claims?"

"No, Your Majesty, the pilot I'm talking about refers to everyone who wants to start this ship."

Looking at Todd, who was puzzled, Wayne thought after thinking, “Most of the energy source for keel parasites comes from the nutrients in the host. If it’s just an ordinary keel armor, it’s small in size, low in activity, and costly to the host. The nutrients are also low, and ordinary people can fully support the daily activities of the armor."

"However, the keel battleship is completely different. A 21-meter-long battleship is entirely composed of keel. Whether it is propelling, steering or repairing, it needs to use the nutrients in the pilot's body as a source of energy supply."

Todd took a breath: "You mean...?"

"Daily keel battleships are mainly driven by sails and consume less host nutrients. However, during the war phase, they need to use a lot of nutrients in the pilot's body. Although the sea battle of Lone Rock City only lasted for an hour, Ayi Not only did Sha complete the regular tactical actions of acceleration and turning lights, she even used a keel battleship to make a melee collision, completely destroying the enemy's flagship with "overload deformation"."

"When the war ended and the battleship returned to sea, Aisha fainted directly in her position. Although relying on the manpower of the crew, the keel battleship was safely sent back to the dock~lightnovelpub.net~, but the body of the pilot suffered. To the overdraft injury. Although two months have passed, she still has no way to move around freely, and she even needs to use crutches to walk."

Todd rubbed his eyebrows vigorously and said in a low voice: "We didn't think about the nutrient supply of parasites in advance. This is indeed a big problem."

Instructing Huggins to write down these questions, Todd looked at Wayne again and said calmly: "Wayne Dunlop, the keel battleship business is temporarily set aside, I want to talk to you about a more important thing... …"

Wayne lowered his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Todd's upper body leaned forward, staring at Wayne and slowly said: "As for all the experiments you have done recently, I hope you will say it all in detail, without any omissions..." ()
