Of course, since the design of the new ship is so important that Wang Gong cannot be arbitrary, so all of these designs have been discussed by everyone, especially recently, when the Nicole was moored at the Red Pier, because everyone arrived in line, so the Senate usually held a discussion on major issues on those days.

When Wang Xue hung the design drawings on the blackboard of the conference room on the fifth floor of the Red Building, everyone gathered around with great interest to comment on the drawings, although they didn't understand the engineering drawings, but most people could still understand the three views of the shape, not to mention that Wang Xue also drew a 45-degree angle rendering.

On this morning, the Senate discussed Wang Xue's new ship design, which was a great matter, and Wang Xue wanted to take advantage of the two days of the Nicole in the Red Pier to initiate a discussion.

First of all, everyone can see that the main structure of this new ship is the same as that of the Pride, with a two-masted flat deck and a double-deck building, and the chimney at the rear indicates that the ship is also hybrid.

Of course, Gu Jin and the others also found that the new ship seemed to be much shorter than the Pride, but the width was about the same as the Pride - Wang Gong, this ship is a little fat!

Li Junming was the first to say his impression.

Yes, I did it on purpose, in order to increase lateral stability, and I lowered the mast height, this boat is safer than the Pride, but the seakeeping performance is worse than the Pride class.

There was a sigh in the conference room, and many people shook their heads, after all, there are already many people here who are nautical professionals, and they know what this means - the ship will not sink in the event of wind and waves, but I am afraid that those who are not seasick will shake out the problem.

However, Wang Gong was completely unmoved, and she continued to introduce - so compared to the Pride class, the total displacement of the new ship was only reduced by one-third, and the theoretical calculation of the full load displacement was 650 tons, and the payload was 420 tons.

So the average speed of this yacht is likely to exceed that of the Pride class, perhaps reaching an average speed of about 14 knots, of course, the main factor for the increase in speed is the reduced weight of the hull, while the sail and power system are about the same as the Pride class.

The steam power system will be based on an improved 10-kilowatt Stirling engine produced by our Shuguang Machinery Plant, a total of three.

And I still use the high-pressure boiler jet drive, which is the same as the Pride class, the benefits are self-explanatory, after all, you are very familiar with how to operate jet power equipment, of course, another important reason - the propeller propulsion is really not advanced enough, and the daily maintenance is complicated, which is very uneconomical.

According to preliminary estimates, the economic speed of pure sail power can reach ten to fifteen knots, and if it is purely mechanically powered, it should be faster than the Pride, and it is estimated that it can run more than twelve knots, after all, the ship is a little smaller.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Wang Gong continued:

"In addition, we have seen the size, the total length of 41 meters, the width of 12 meters, the draft of 1.8 meters, the middle mast is equipped with two groups of manual pulley set booms, can lift 400 kilograms of goods at a time, the maximum lifting weight is half a ton, no matter how high it is, it is barely possible, but I advise you not to try, because it will affect the service life of the equipment......

The meeting lasted a morning, the content was more professional, in addition to Wang Xue's lecture, Holley, Luo Boss and Huasheng's Zhou Yuye and others made special speeches, and finally Wang Xue's new ship design main plan was finally adopted, and then Sun Lao announced the adjournment, and continued after lunch.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting resumed, and as soon as the audience came up, someone asked:

"Wang Gong, how to solve the communication system of the new ship?"

"Wang Gong! You haven't introduced the weapons of the new ship yet? ”

In the face of everyone's dazzling attention, Wang Gong spread his hands and pointed to the crowd and responded, Boss Luo's weapon development work is Boss Luo's business, I just vacate the tonnage and position, and in addition, the communication system is Xiao Fei's business, you can ask them......

Wang Gong threw the pot to the two very mellowly and sat back in his chair, looking at the two with a smile.

So everyone cast their eyes on Xiao Fei, because Wang Gong was the first to see Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei said on the spot that his electric fish machine oh no, it is the second generation of new antenna-coupled radio transceiver has been successfully experimented, and the effect is very good, except for the size and weight are a little excessive, everything has reached the level of the old world during the First World War.

At this time, everyone in the conference room nodded with satisfaction, and some breathed a sigh of relief.

Then everyone looked at Boss Luo and them together.

Boss Luo had no choice but to stand up and smile bitterly - everyone, I've been too busy lately, you know during this time, give us a slow time, anyway, how can it take half a year for Wang Gong's ship to be built, right? The Pride sister ship has not yet been assembled, so don't worry, you can do it after a while.

At this time, Huang Hai also stood up and said: We plan to build a standard weapon system, and the preliminary plan is: The artillery is based on the 92 infantry guns of that year, and we will build a ship gun type with an extended barrel and a field type with a short gun barrel with wheels......

As soon as Huang Hai said this, it immediately triggered a big discussion among military fans, and the conference room was immediately lively like a vegetable market.

However, at this moment, more people in the conference room finally remembered ---- when the chemical factory made nitrocellulose a while ago, Boss Luo and they had boasted about Haikou.

They claimed that they were going to get the Old World War I level rifles and machine guns.

However, there is no shadow so far, so many people began to complain about the slow development of weapons, and also said that the chemical industry has made nitrocellulose out, why is there no progress in your weapon development?

Boss Luo, they hurriedly explained, aren't they busy building steam locomotives?

At this time, Sun Lao, who was presiding over the meeting, hurriedly waved his hand to temporarily stop everyone's complaints, and unexpectedly named Zhao Xihe to speak.

So Zhao Xihe stood up and said, now that Gui Xianning is back, one of his main tasks is to assist Qiao Xiaomu in developing a new type of explosive@ drug, and he has experience in running ** workshops in Xin'an City......

So someone below laughed, and there is also the experience of borrowing a kind of pickling girl......

Then everyone laughed, at this time Xiao Guizi actually blushed, a little overwhelmed for a while, everyone felt even more interesting when they saw this, all kinds of coaxing, but Sun Lao had to slap the table to make everyone quiet, and motioned to Mr. Zhao to continue to introduce.

Obviously, Mr. Zhao was also afraid of Gui Xianning's embarrassment, so he quickly changed the topic and asked Gui Xianning what his plan was, so Gui Xianning took a sip of tea and calmed down and said:

"Our enhanced black ** production technology is quite mature, but these are far from enough, because we can only make weapons like breech-loading rifled flintlock pistols at the top.

In order to fundamentally solve the bottleneck problem of our light weapons, especially the development of burst weapons, we are currently planning to engage in bibase nitrocellulose, Qiao Xiaomu has already made a little experimental product a while ago, but the sensitivity still needs to be adjusted, fortunately, recently United Chemical has also made some ** and ethanol, so we want to make a bibase explosive @ medicine in one step.

It's just that the purity problem needs to be solved with experience accumulation, and there is no major problem. ”

After Gui Xianning finished speaking, he sat down, regardless of whether everyone understood it or not, and drank tea by himself, obviously he was a little concerned about the joke that everyone made to him just now.
