On the side of the Kingdom of Danna, the overall situation is improving, and the army under the command of Prince Zhou Yaping is still relatively powerful, and it has already captured most of the central areas of the Kingdom of Tanna, and it has already killed the southern areas of the Kingdom of Danna.

As for the Kenn region, it is now a mess, and the local government of the Republic of Kean itself has been divided into several factions, with various villains and many large tribes, so that there are seven or eight armed forces of different factions in the Republic of Kean, fighting each other endlessly, and even the Gafia Empire has a big headache about the situation in Kean.

On the surface, although the garrison of the Gafia Empire still controls the major cities and strategic nodes of the Republic of Kean, in fact, the vast number of small and medium-sized cities and rural areas have fallen into the hands of different oppositionists.

What makes Daheng Empire more reassuring is that due to the chaotic situation in the Kean area, the construction and development of the Kean oil field has not been able to make practical progress, and it is expected that the production plan will continue to be delayed.

In the late autumn and October of the 15th year of Qiansheng, when many Daheng people were already looking forward to the autumn harvest festival, the most important traditional festival of the year, in the naval shipyard in Quping Naval Base, a ceremony was being held for the commissioning of a new warship with a small scale but very high specifications.

The ceremony was attended not only by senior naval officials, but also by Emperor Lin Ziran, who arrived at the Quping Naval Base three days ago to inspect the ceremony.

This is not the first time Lin Ziran has come to Quping Naval Base, as the most important naval port and warship construction base of the Daheng Empire, Lin Ziran has come a lot of times, and even presided over the commissioning ceremony of new warships more than once.

However, it was the first time for him to go to the Quping Naval Base specifically for the service of a warship, and he participated in the service ceremony of the new warship before, in fact, it was more incidental, and the navy specially selected the service time of the warship when Lin Ziran came to inspect.

However, this time, Lin Ziran came over to preside over the service of the new warship.

What can make Lin Ziran attach so much importance to it, except for the unified all-heavy artillery battleship Ning Yu battleship, there is no second battleship worthy of him to do this.

"The battleship Ningyu officially started construction in August of the 12th year of Qiansheng, and was launched in December of the 14th year of Qiansheng to start outfitting, and after 10 months of intense outfitting test work, all outfitting work was finally completed today."

"In the R&D and construction of a new generation of unified all-heavy artillery warships, including the battleship Ningyu, many of our scientific research teams and manufacturers have tackled more than 300 kinds of large-scale technologies, countless small and medium-sized technologies, involving almost all aspects such as hull construction, naval gun systems, communication systems, and power systems!"

"In the process, a group of highly decorated technicians emerged."

"Through the R&D and construction of the battleship Ningyu, our basic industry and manufacturing and processing industry have at least reached a higher level!"

Listening to the introduction of the courtiers, Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "Science is the most important productive force, in the process of promoting scientific progress, productivity improvement, and national defense strengthening, our scientists have made great contributions, and they deserve to be rewarded accordingly, so as to correctly guide people's enthusiasm for scientific research!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

This time, the R&D and construction plan of the unified all-heavy artillery warship, even if it is only from the beginning of the design of the Ning Yu, will also span five years, and many outstanding scientists of the empire have emerged in these five years.

And Lin Ziran knows very well the importance of technical personnel, as long as they make achievements, they will not be treated badly.

After the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Daheng Empire, the titles of academicians were awarded to top scientists, which were the most basic, and Lin Ziran returned the title, although the title of the nobility of Daheng has been completely reduced to a false title in recent years, but this fictitious title is also a noble title, and the Daheng Empire is still a monarchical centralized country, and the weight of the title of the nobility is still relatively heavy.

Therefore, before participating in the commissioning ceremony of the battleship Ningyu, a small-scale canonization ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Quping Naval Shipyard.

Lin Ziran personally canonized thirteen top scientists who have made great contributions to the progress of the Daheng Empire's defense industry in recent years, and awarded different titles of nobility, three of whom have even received hereditary titles.

As for the canonization of the title of nobility, he was also given a generous bonus, and he was given a bonus of 100,000 Hengyuan on the spot for winning the Royal First-Class Science Award, and 50,000 Hengyuan for the Royal Second-class Science Award, which was not paid by the treasury, but Lin Ziran paid out of his own pocket.

Because the Royal Science Prize was set up by Lin Ziran himself, this prize naturally needs to be given by himself.

In short, money, fame, and social status are also given to ensure that these scientists will not be disadvantaged.

After the canonization was over, Lin Ziran took people to the dock to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the battleship Ning Yu, and on the way to the dock, the senior management of the navy also introduced to Lin Ziran what happened during the construction of the battleship Ning Yu.

The R&D and construction of the unified all-heavy artillery warship represented by Ning Yu are very many technical problems that need to be solved for the Daheng Empire, and it can even be said that it is a very severe challenge for the industrial system of the Daheng Empire.

The research and development of the 300 mm 45 times caliber naval gun is full of ups and downs, the naval gun project was established very early, and the prototype gun was manufactured very early, but even after the prototype gun was manufactured, there were frequent problems later, so that the mass production time of the gun continued to retreat, which not only affected the construction progress of the Ning Yu, but also affected many other warships that planned to adopt this type of naval gun.

There is also a power system, the battleship Ning Yu has a standard displacement of more than 18,000 tons, and a full load displacement of more than 21,000 tons, and such a huge battleship has to run at a speed of 20 knots, which is not easy.

What's more, in order to ensure protection, the thickness of the ship's armor is very thick, and the idea of comprehensive protection is adopted, in this case, in order to avoid the warship's tonnage soaring in a straight line, so the length of the battleship needs to be controlled, so the square coefficient can not be too big, which in turn affects the internal space of the battleship, and can not be stuffed into more power units.

In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the battleship runs twenty knots, which is actually more difficult than the twenty-four knots of the Qiping-class battlecruisers and even the twenty-six knots of the River-class heavy cruisers, after all, the latter two types of battleships can be pulled longer and crammed into more power units for speed, and at the same time, the square coefficient is reduced, and the slender hull is also more suitable for high-speed sailing.

The engineers of the Great Heng Empire, but they worked hard to make the battleship Ning Yu reach a speed of twenty knots while ensuring defense and firepower.

I don't know how many similar difficulties there have been in the research and development and construction process of the Ningyu in the past few years.

After countless technical breakthroughs, the technicians of the Daheng Empire finally completed this epoch-making work of art.

Now, it is quietly moored on the dock, waiting for Lin Ziran's review!

After the commissioning ceremony, the battleship Ningyu will be officially handed over to the navy for follow-up various tests and tests, if it goes well, it may be able to complete a series of tests and training in about half a year, and if there is no problem in the whole process, it will be able to form a preliminary combat effectiveness.
