In the system's naval base, Wei Chenghong looked at the Prideful Heaven that was being repaired. There was a row of ship slots next to it. The two Japanese and four Japanese warships were there, but because they were battleships, they were a little far away.
Next to Wei Chenghong was Tatsumi. It was the same time as the real world. It was night time, and the entire dock was brightly lit.
"System, is that the battleship the mission reward?”There was another battleship next to the Prideful, but it looked shorter. Because it had not undergone modern modifications, the island and mast of that battleship were very short.
"Yes, a rank IV gold coin battleship, Stone Hammer.”
"Why does it look like it's not very good?”
"This is because the Stonehammer class has not undergone modern modifications. It doesn't have a towering island and reconnaissance aircraft. In addition, the communication system and cannon control system are also a little outdated.”
"Can it be modified?"
"Of course, but you need silver coins.”
"Let me see if I can get rid of a turret, the one in the middle, and add more anti-air firepower and reconnaissance planes.”
According to Wei Chenghong's plan, the system quickly designed a blueprint. Like the Prideful, the Stonehammer class battleship had a tall island, with four 120mm single cannons and four 25mm anti-aircraft cannons. The auxiliary cannon on the turret was also removed. Ten 120mm single cannons were installed on the left and right sides of the Stonehammer battleship. The central turret was removed, and a new island was added to command the rear turret. Ten 25mm anti-aircraft cannons were installed above and below the island.
The catapults of the reconnaissance aircraft were placed between the island and the first turret at the rear. From this plan, the anti-air firepower of this battleship was more than twice as powerful as that of the Pride. However, the caliber of the main cannon was 50mm smaller than that of the Pride. Although there were two more main cannons, the power of the main cannon was still slightly inferior to that of the Pride.
"Very good, let's do it this way. How much will it cost?”Wei Chenghong nodded with satisfaction. The biggest threat to battleships was the bomber and the torpedoes. The stage of the Second World War naval battle was the aviation, not the battleship. This kind of large-caliber warship was outdated.
"200,000 silver coins."
"Sure. How long will the modification take?"
"One day."
After Wei Chenghong agreed, the stone hammer battleship's modern transformation began. Wei Chenghong also began to look at the technology tree. At present, the cruisers he owned were outdated. The Dragon class cruiser could not meet his needs at all. Wei Chenghong, who owned two battleships, temporarily gave up on developing the more advanced King Kong class battleship.
Currently, Wei Chenghong had 59820 public experience points, 1,050,000 silver coins, 1575 gold coins, 7 ship slots, 8 battleships, and 2 silver supply boxes.
The number of ship slots represented the number of warships that Wei Chenghong could use in the real world. The ships in the system dock did not affect the use of the ship slots.
Level IV Cruiser Ball Mill Lighting EXP was 7200, aircraft carrier Fengxiang 8400, destroyer Jifeng 6400.
At the same time, Wei Chenghong sold two Heavenly Dragon Class Sun Sky Cruisers. The Heavenly Dragon Class cruisers were no longer suitable for naval battles of this era. Their performance was seriously lagging behind.
Lighting up three warships cost Wei Chenghong 22000 experience points, leaving him with 37820 experience points. The performance of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier was also seriously lagging behind. Wei Chenghong gritted his teeth and continued to light up the V-class Ruiphoenix-class aircraft carrier. Ruiphoenix-class required 25750 experience points, leaving Wei Chenghong with more than 12000 experience points. Considering the price of the aircraft carrier, Wei Chenghong did not light up the other ships, because lighting up was one thing. I can't afford it ~ It's useless even if I light it up.
At this time, it was better to open the silver supply box first. Wei Chenghong looked at Tatsumi beside him and said to her," Quick, kiss me. I'm going to draw the lottery. Add some immortal energy to me."”
With a red face, she looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then, she leaned over and kissed Wei Chenghong on the cheek.
With the help of the girl's immortal energy, Wei Chenghong opened two in one go, hoping to get a grand slam.
The results were out. One was 700,000, and the other was 900,000. This was not bad. Wei Chenghong now had 2,650,000 silver coins.
It was a good result. Wei Chenghong picked up Tatsumi and spun her around a few times.
"Put me down, Admiral."
"I'm too excited." Wei Chenghong put down the girl in his arms and excitedly bought the Auspicious Phoenix-class aircraft carrier for 2.07 million silver coins.
Since they wanted to build a fleet with aircraft carriers as the core, anti-submarine destroyer was also essential.
150,000 Ball Mill-class cruisers and 320,000 Ji Feng-class Destroyers. Wei Chenghong only had 580,000 silver coins left, but he needed to buy three ships. He didn't have enough money. If he wanted to buy the aircraft carrier Fengxiang, he would have more silver coins. However, the performance of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang was seriously lagging behind. At most, it could only be considered a second-rate aircraft carrier.
After some consideration, Wei Chenghong took out 300 gold coins and bought 450,000 silver coins. He also bought two ship slots. This way, his fleet would have nine ships.
One aircraft carrier, two battleships, two cruisers, and four destroyer fleets. Although they couldn't compare to the Japanese Combined Fleet, it was a good start.
Three Ball Mill-class cruisers cost 450,000 silver coins, and one Ji Feng-class destroyer cost 320,000 silver coins. In total, it was 770,000 silver coins. After buying the warships, Wei Chenghong counted the assets in his account.
12070 EXP, 260,000 silver coins, 675 gold coins, 9 ships, 9 seats, 1 female adjutant.

Compared to the Heavenly Dragon class, the Ball Mill class was much better in all aspects. Finally, at Wei Chenghong's request, the system removed the anti-air machine guns of the Ball Mill class cruiser and increased the number of 80mm anti-air cannons from 2 to 10. They were arranged at the front and back, both high and flat. They also added a cannon shield to protect the gunner's safety. The modification time was 4 hours.
