76 Episode 75 Weapons and Budget (1/2)

After finishing my preparations to be away for the trip, I was waiting for the ship to arrive with a few other guild members.

I'm sure the general public hasn't been told that the ship will be arriving today, but judging from the number of spectators, word must have gotten out.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ship it is.

After all, this is a ship that is said to have caused the country to collapse just because the development of one piece of equipment took longer than planned when it was built.

Her name is the Dragon Killer.

The name suggests that it can slay dragons, but in reality, it can only slay sub-dragons with the help of adventurers.

However, it is a ship that can take on dragons without the help of a strong adventurer, so it must be strong.

That's the extent of my knowledge of ships, but I wonder what kind of huge battleship it is.

As I looked at the sea with such expectations, I saw something that looked like a ship around the horizon.

Perhaps this planet is bigger than the Earth, but the horizon seems much farther away.

It looks like a ship is coming into view. Is that it?

”...... I can't see it yet. Colt, can you see it?

I'll ask the chief, but he doesn't seem to be able to see the ship yet.

He's old enough to know better.

Even my eyes can barely make out the ship.

I can't see it either.

No. It's still a long way off.

A young man, who seemed to be one of the higher-ups in the guild, could not see it either.

About 15 minutes later, Mr. Colt spoke up.

Oh, that's it. It's not every day you see a ship without sails that big.

Finally. ...... Do you have good eyesight too?

”Considering the time, I'd say you could see the ship 20 kilometers away. ......

I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear that.

Maybe it wasn't just his powers and magic, but his eyesight as well.

It was another fifteen minutes before the ship arrived.

By this time, people were calling out to each other, and the beach area was packed with people.

I could see the ship perfectly, but it was rather ...... small.

No, it's bigger than the size of a standard ship in this world, and the ship is actually anchored slightly outside the harbor because the harbor is not deep enough.

However, compared to the large warships of Earth, the ship seems small.

The length is probably about 70 meters, and the width is about the same.

Something like a large cylinder piercing the deck is conspicuous.

If that were the main gun, it would have a caliber of over one meter, but firing such a gun at a ship of this size would probably sink the ship itself.

It is still understandable that it is smaller than a battleship, but it is half the length of a modern warship, which has become smaller.

The metal parts that hold the guns in place seem to be far less durable than the turrets of battleships.

In addition, the deck is crammed with a variety of other equipment, and it looks extremely unstable.

If it is not careful, it might tip over just by turning.

It may be managed by magic, but it makes me worry about it.

...... Is that equipment enough?

It seems that my fears were unfounded.

After that, we got on the ship and received an explanation about the ship, and it seems that the ship is equipped with a high performance attitude control magic device.

As a result, the ship seems to be able to maintain its posture to the extent that it does not capsize even when it turns at an angle near the limit of its engines (or other magical devices).

On the contrary, it is said that the high turning ability is one of the strengths of this ship.

And now that the explanation was over, we were getting into the explanation of the anti-aircraft equipment.

There are many flying demons in the area we are going to, so they want to explain it to me.

I wonder if he needs to explain it to me.

”Look, this is the Dragon Killer's most powerful anti-aircraft equipment, the sixty-four anti-aircraft guns!　Its firing rate is 64 shots every 3 seconds, and it can take out most flying demons!　To make this continuous firing possible, an ancient magic tool is used. ......

I see.

And this is the anti-aircraft warding magic tool!　It is the most powerful warding that has never been broken!　Theoretically, it can only be broken by a sublime dragon or dragons.

Amazing. ......

And this is ......

There's some cool weapons here.

After that, six more anti-aircraft weapons alone were introduced.

It seems that the ship is strong and well equipped for anti-aircraft.

It made me feel bad that I had doubts about the specs of this ship until now.

Just as I thought the explanation of these weapons was over, the person who was giving the explanation started walking towards the front of the ship.

Is there more?

And this is the main anti-aircraft weapon of this expedition!　It is the largest of its kind currently in use. ......

”Oh.

It's a wand!　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that we've got a lot more than just a few of these.

......

Wands?

What's with the wand?

I'm not sure if it has any special features or not.

Yes, it has the ability to super-accelerate magic!

That's just a long wand. ......

You might want to use something else.

Other equipment seems more powerful. Why the wand?

Well, ...... wands are strong too, you know.　In the event that you have a lot of time, you may want to take a look at the following tips. Sometimes you miss and they bombard you. ......

”Is the bombing of ...... going to be okay?
