Chapter 191 Tony's Suggestion

With Tony's various operations, the Prinz Eugen displayed on the workbench has undergone a lot of changes.

First of all, the above and underwater parts of the hull have some fine-tuning and become more modern. This tweak alone makes this ship a little different from the original Prinz Eugen.

Even without considering the factors of black technology, Prince Eugen's design during World War II has a lot of outdated places, and almost all the superstructures have been adjusted and optimized by Tony.

The amazing thing is that Tony retains the original features of Prince Eugen. At first glance, this is still Prince Eugen and not another ship.

"Look how it is now?"

Ethan has been watching, and he doesn't have any opinion on Tony's adjustments, at least in his opinion these adjustments are very good.

"There won't be any adjustments in appearance. Next we have to consider the specific content... Are you going to use the Ark Reactor for the power of this ship?"

At first, Ethan wanted to use the strange magic stone that he found with almost no decay as an energy source, but at that time he was not thinking about building such a large steel battleship directly. He was very doubtful whether the magic stone was With such a strong output power.

Tell Tony about the magic stone he found. After Tony asked him to study it for a while, he temporarily set the Ark reactor as the main energy source of the warship.

The Ark reactor is actually a cold nuclear fusion reactor. In the world Ethan once lived in, cold nuclear fusion is only a technology that exists in theory or even fantasy. Many scientists believe that cold nuclear fusion is a technology that cannot really appear.

However, in the Marvel world, this technology was successfully researched, manufactured and developed by Stark and his son. It is already a very mature technology. Whether it is output power, stability or service life, it is not the power core of a warship. any problem.

"A cruiser that looks like a World War II era cruiser on the outside is nuclear powered on the inside."

Tony suddenly felt that things weren't as boring as he thought, especially since Ethan had to install various magical facilities on this ship and the magic stone equipment that he had not studied in detail.

"Energy barrier?"

Ethan chose naval guns as the main weapon design because the new ship will use energy weapons as the main means of attack. Although Tony has decided to make magic changes on it, he really did not expect Ethan to install energy protection on this ship. shield.

"And it's multiple defenses."

He will not simply design an energy barrier, he will also use magical means to create a magic shield, and at the same time will study how to transplant the protective energy that sticks to the body on the armor to the battleship.

With so many layers of defense, he believed that the defense of his battleship would be absolutely strong enough to cause the enemy to collapse, and a normal attack might not even be able to break the outermost shield.

Coupled with Tony's modification of several anti-aircraft gun positions into Phalanx and missile launch boxes, the defense of this Prince Eugen has reached the limit that two people can think of at present.

The two continued to discuss, and as Tony learned more about Ethan's requirements, he made more and more adjustments to the ship.

Just doing some optimizations for the hull is nothing at all, the next step is the real major surgery.

Although the superstructure looks roughly the same as the original Prince Eugen, the interior and many details have undergone tremendous changes.

In addition to the installation of the Phalanx and the missile launch box, the chimney that occupies a huge space was transformed into a vertical launch system by Tony on the premise of retaining the original appearance. When Ethan learned this, only I can silently look at Tony with a smug look on his face.

"I want to build a ship from World War II, because energy weapons don't need to worry about logistical issues. Where can I go to replenish when you have so many missiles out?"

"Let's talk when you're finished."

Tony doesn't care about this, he's finally having some fun now, and of course he must give priority to satisfying himself.

"Considering that you have few crew members on board, and there is a huge space inside the hull, the part that originally carried the seaplane can be transformed into a lift-type platform. The plane can usually be parked in the warehouse inside the ship, and the platform can be used to lift it out of the ship if necessary. You can open the platform sunroof and take off inside the ship.”

The aircraft equipped with this ship must have the function of vertical take-off and landing. Considering a variety of situations, it is reasonable to equip several different models to meet different needs.

"Do you have any requirements for the plane?"

"I'd love to get a few VFs, but unfortunately I can't."

"VF? What is that? Some kind of high-tech flying machine?" Tony was always interested in something Ethan mentioned occasionally, because it was probably a product of another world, and the name sounded like some kind of technology product , possibly from a world with a higher-tech civilization.

"A variable space and atmospheric environment dual-purpose fighter, which can break through the atmosphere with a single plane."

Tony's eyes lit up, and he seemed to want to ask for more details, but Ethan quickly turned the subject back to the Prinz Eugen in front of him.

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that the boom cannot be removed."

"why?"

During World War II, the warships had a boom. An important role was to recover the reconnaissance aircraft that landed on the water and 'catch' it back to the ship. Now it is replaced by a more advanced aircraft, which can land directly on the ship. It seems that You don't need to do this, do you?

"Because a boom is needed to load supplies."

Ethan also just thought that if he changed the ship, even if he just replenished food, it would be a huge workload to fill the warehouse, and it was obviously unrealistic to carry it back and forth only by manpower.

If there is a boom, the materials can be lifted and caught on the ship at one time, and then put directly into the warehouse on the ship if possible.

In the era of sailing warships, there was such an idea. Using tools such as turntables and gears, the materials accumulated on the dock were hoisted to the top of the deck. At the same time, there was a 'skylight' on the deck that could be opened, which was convenient for 'putting' materials directly into in warehouse.

Ethan also suddenly remembered this matter, but Tony didn't think of it, because the modern dock has a variety of equipment, and there are a lot of machinery for loading and unloading, and there is no need to install additional similar things on the ship to occupy space.

Although I don't know what's going on in Ethan's world, Ethan's special mention proves that there is a need, so Tony had to "install" the boom that had been deleted.

By this time, the ship has roughly set the frame, and the remaining specific details will be discussed slowly for the time being, because Tony still has to figure out what the magic stone technology given by Ethan is going on.

Basically, everything that can be confirmed has been set, and it will take time. Tony wants to study the things that Ethan took out, and see how these things should be perfectly transplanted or modified and installed on this warship, then Both take some time.

Although Tony is a research maniac, he knows how to relax properly. After saving and filing this rough design plan, he took Ethan, Diana, Logan and Laura to enjoy a feast together.

Accompanied by Pepper Pepper, Diana bought a lot of clothes and shoes, and gave a very detailed popular science and teaching to this demigod who was not very adaptable to modern urban society.

Of course, Logan didn't miss this opportunity to throw money. He bought a lot of cigars unceremoniously. Ethan can be sure that it will be a long time to come, even if Logan is smoking a cigar all day long And don't worry about running out of cigars.

After having fun for most of the day, Tony, who returned to the Stark Building, immediately grabbed Ethan and entered his laboratory.

There are laboratories for various purposes in his Stark Building, which not only have a variety of equipment, but also store a large number of various materials, which is convenient for him to conduct various research at any time - and it is also convenient for him to conduct research anytime, anywhere. Upgrade and craft new steel armors.

After eating, drinking and having fun, he took Ethan directly to the laboratory because he was curious about the magic stone technology that Ethan mentioned more than once, and he was very eager to understand what this technology was about, even if Without the design work of Prince Eugen, he also very much wanted to understand this technology from another world.

"This is it?"

"This is it."

What Ethan took out was the armor seized from the assassin. The most technical magic stone equipment in his hand is this armor, which is much more technical than those thrusters.

"What ability does this thing have?"

Ethan recalled it carefully, and then described all the capabilities of this armor in the simplest terms: "optical stealth, mute, energy defense, strength, and speed enhancement."

"Oh?"

Tony didn't care much about this equipment at first, but he became interested after hearing Ethan's description. While asking Jarvis to scan the equipment in detail, he asked Ethan about the various details of this armor.

As Tony deepened his understanding of this armor, he also learned more about magic stone technology.

"To put it simply, this so-called magic stone technology uses a certain prop to exert the special effect of a certain energy. This technology is too limited. If you want to use this kind of technology on your own ship Technology, there will be a lot of limitations.”

To make a simple analogy, if Ethan uses the magic stone propulsion device on his new ship, then after the propeller loses energy or is damaged, he must find a magic stone with matching attributes to replenish energy or repair it. This situation can cause huge logistical and maintenance problems.

"So, it's best for your new ship to use the Ark reactor as the main power source."
