Chapter 6923 Artillery Bunkers
6923 Artillery Bunkers
Ves and his family extensively toured the interior of the 3.6 kilometer long orven battleship.
The E-66 Experimental Yard had spent a lot of time and manpower on converting the Tortuous Scream for human occupation and usage.
However, the vessel's internal volume was so great that the Rubarthan shipbuilders could not completely transform her tech and architecture to human style.
Doing so was no different from designing and constructing a native human warship from the start.
The purpose of using the alien battleship was to expediently make good use of the CFA Battlecruiser Token that Ves had earned. It did not matter if the Tortuous Scream still operated on an alien programming system so long as the warship obeyed her new masters.
These reasons and more caused the exterior as well as the interior of the warship to look like a confused hybrid between human and orven ship design.
The greater height of the ceilings and the vertical deck layout were all typical to orven-developed starships. It took way too much work to convert it all to human style, so the shipbuilders did not bother to change the layout for the most part.
"The greatest changes that we have made to the hull is the removal of many secondary and tertiary gun batteries." The recently appointed high captain reported to Ves. "According to your directive, we have done this as extensively as we could. All secondary gun batteries and a large number of tertiary gun batteries have made way for bunkers that can house one or even multiple heavy artillery mechs. This also means that if no mech is active, the Tortuous Scream only possesses half of the point defense capabilities that she should normally enjoy."
Gilbert de Raanvanchas projected an image of the converted battleship and highlighted all of the gun batteries and bunkers on the hull.
Ves noted that while the Tortuous Scream still retained a lot of tertiary gun batteries, they were all located in corners, edged and other areas where it was difficult to install bunkers.
