The main design ideas provided by Xiao Letian were edited and modified by hundreds of Prussian engineers, and nearly 300,000 kinds of parts were scattered to more than 500 steel mills, mechanical processing plants, and arsenals in Prussia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And finally transported to the Volzen shipyard to secretly assemble and produce, so that there is such a legendary battleship that has passed the era for at least forty years.

Perhaps many intelligence organizations in Europe have obtained a lot of external information about the Zhiyuan, but the secrets in the cabin of the Zhiyuan have not been understood by Europeans to this day.

Why did Major General Jason go to the Zhiyuan again and again to eat? Was it really because he was too hungry for Chinese food? In fact, they also had the intention of finding out about the military situation of the Zhiyuan at close range.

However, it is a pity that they did not enter the bilge, boiler room, power transmission room, ammunition depot, and shell transmission mechanism of the Zhiyuan after countless attempts...... These are the most valuable secrets, none of them see.

Xiao Letian is very confident in the Zhiyuan, not only in terms of powerful firepower, but also in the abundant power performance of this battleship.

4 round coal-fired boilers and two horizontal three-expansion reciprocating steam engines, two-shaft propulsion, power 55oo horsepower, 19 knots.

No country could have imagined that the Zhiyuan could have 55oo horsepower, because in the European ship design community at that time, the steam engine was always the main force of the sails, and those warships that lost their sails and relied entirely on coal were cursed as outliers by countless mainstream designers.

Even many strategists have gone astray, believing that purely coal-fired warships will make it more difficult for the navy to replenish its supplies, and what if the coal burns out on the sea? Let the soldiers paddle?

It is this distrust that has caused the exhibition of pure steam-powered warships to encounter a bottleneck, and this small bottleneck is the most rare historical opportunity for the Chinese people.

Today, the Zhiyuan not only wants to show the world its indestructible steel hull, but also shows its surging power to grab gold! The end of the Maranta is just around the corner.

Not only that, Xiang Ying also sacrificed another secret weapon of the Zhiyuan, that is, strong wind pressure!

Strong wind pressurization, as the name suggests, is to use a mechanical blower to pressurize the air as in the boiler, so as to increase the firepower and instantly increase the boiler pressure, according to the design drawing, once the strong wind pressure is increased to the limit value, the horsepower of the Zhiyuan can even rush to 75oo horsepower.

Of course, this is only a theoretical value, when the test was carried out in the Atlantic, Xiang Ying tested it to 63oo horsepower at most, and he didn't dare to continue pressurizing, not because he couldn't add it, but because he was reluctant to destroy the boiler anymore.

Strong wind pressure is completely an evil move on the battlefield, it belongs to the Seven Wounds Fist, and after injuring the enemy, you will also suffer internal injuries.

Because the boiler works under strong pressure ventilation, the aging will be faster than the normal working state, the furnace is easy to be eroded, and the connection of some steam pipelines will also be easy to leak due to long-term high pressure, so strong pressure ventilation is a special means that can only be used in emergency situations.

It is precisely because this move is too domineering that in the command cabin of the Zhiyuan, there is no hand scale pressurized by strong wind on the dial of various car clocks.

Such orders were completely normal and could only be given verbal and ad hoc orders by the captain, and none of the remaining officers had the authority to give orders to pressurize the strong winds.

The sixteen coal shovelers in the boiler room worked in two shifts, and the one-foot-long shovel threw the black and shiny coal into the blazing boiler, the heat was extremely hot, and the half-foot-long flames sprayed out every time the door was opened.

The coal shovel was completely stripped naked, and his shiny muscles were as toned as the statues of ancient Greek warriors in European art museums.

Workers close to the boiler work in pairs to control a boiler opening, which is supposed to change shifts every 20 minutes according to the normal workflow, but when the strong wind pressure starts, they must change shifts every three minutes.

The whole boiler room had become purgatory, and when the order to pressurize the strong wind was given, the coal shovelers heard a strange roar from the deepest part of the Zhiyuan, as if some ghost was roaring.

It was the high-pressure blower that began to draw air from the outside and pour it into the boiler, and the red flames suddenly turned blue, and every time the steel baffle of the coal filling mouth was opened, the light blue flames suddenly erupted more than a foot high.

At that moment, the coal shovelers present felt that the entire boiler was about to be burned!

"Enjoyable...... Pour cold water on me...... Fuck it, fuck it, kill those shit!"

With a bang, the flames erupted a foot and a half, and the heat burned off the coal shoveler's eyebrows.

"Hahaha, Tu Er! You get closer, burn your dice's beard!Hahaha......"

can still laugh at the moment of life and death, it can be seen what kind of perverts are loaded on the Zhiyuan!

At the moment when the strong wind pressurized, all the crew members on the Zhiyuan obviously felt a tremor in the keel, and then the battleship increased suddenly, the rotation of the tail propeller doubled, and the tumbling splash dragged out more than ten meters away.

"All crew members are ready to ram...... Follow the training for safety evasion...... Everybody on deck looking for cover!"

800m, 700m, 500m...... By the time the Zhiyuan and the Maranta were only 250 meters away, the sailors on both sides could clearly count the number of each other, and even the shouting and scolding were gradually heard clearly.

"God bless France! God bless His Majesty the Emperor! Avenge the Molière knights! Avenge Dakar! Avenge all the compatriots killed by Chinese......"

"Jade Shatter Charge! Kill these dogs! Revenge the people who died in Naha! Revenge for Bali Bridge and Old Summer Palace! Revenge for Yuan! Kill them......"

At that moment, the sun lost its light, the heavens and the earth changed color, and a thrilling collision was about to be staged.

Captain Arnold was already hysterical, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, "Maranta! Forward! You are the pride of France, you are the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet! If you collide, you will not fail!"

"Hahaha, let you taste the industrial strength of France! Despicable Chinese, you used to be just a sneak attack on the weakest fleet, now let you taste the power of the real French elite warships......"

In the hearts of these arrogant French soldiers, the first place in industrialization was, of course, England, and the second place was definitely France.

Chinese design, Prussian-built battleships?phew...... That's a toy to deceive the layman!
