Chapter 775: A Class B and C Artillery Battleship!
even felt that it was not enjoyable once, so he let Fang Zi fire several more shots, and asked Fang Zi to teach him how to shoot guns, and fired a cannon with his own hands, and fired a cannon with his own hands, Yin Hai reluctantly left, and finally returned to his own mansion and began to design a cannon warship!
With the passage of time, after countless revisions, and with the cooperation of Fang Zi, Yin Hai finally designed three different types of gun-carrying warships, and after the design was completed, he immediately wrote a budget and presented it to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion!
The twenty-sixth year of Shengqin, the tenth day of the first month!
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study!
In the imperial study, Ying Chang sat firmly on the throne of the black carved dragon, looking at the three drawings in his hand with a serious expression, and not far in front of Ying Chang, there were the Governor of the Third Rank Water Division, the Third Class Soldier Hou Fangzi, the Second Rank Military Department Shangshu Yang Ze, the First Rank Left Prime Minister Zhang Feizi, and next to Ying Chang stood the General of the Middle Palace, the Commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Pei Ji, the military guard of the Xianyang Palace!
The three drawings in Ying Chang's hand are the three different types of gun-carrying warships designed by Yin Hai after ten days of repeated revisions!
The name of the first type of gun-carrying warship is: Class A warship!
【Class A Battleship】
[Hull: 20 zhang long, 6 zhang wide, 4 zhang high]
[Weapon loading: two fixed guns in the bow, one fixed gun in the stern, ten fixed guns on the left and right sides of the hull, a total of 23 fixed guns on the ship]
[Power: One main sail in the center of the ship, one auxiliary sail in the bow and stern, 180 oars, 90 oars on each side of the hull, each paddle is rowed by four paddlers]
[The number of personnel equipped with the ship: 1,440 paddlers (two groups of paddlers take turns to change shifts), 1,150 gunners, 300 combat sailors, one captain, two left and right deputy captains, 10 people controlling the direction of the ship, the number of people on board: 2,903 people]
[Sailing speed: 10 knots per hour]
The second type of gun-carrying warship is called: Class B warship!
【Class B Battleship】
[Hull: 16 zhang long, 5 zhang wide, 3 zhang high]
[Weapon loading: one fixed gun at the bow, one fixed gun at the stern, eight fixed guns on the left and right sides of the hull, a total of 18 fixed guns on the ship]
[Power: One main sail in the center of the ship, one auxiliary sail in the bow and stern, one hundred and sixty oars, eighty oars on each side of the hull, each paddle is rowed by four paddlers]
[The number of personnel on the warship: 1,280 paddlers (two groups of paddlers take turns to change shifts), 900 gunners, 300 combat sailors, one captain, two left and right deputy captains, 10 people in the direction of the ship, the number of people on board: 2,493 people]
[Sailing speed: 20 knots per hour]
The third type of gun-carrying warship is called: C-class warship
【Class C Ships】
[Hull: eight zhang long, two zhang wide, two zhang high]
[Weapon loading: one fixed gun on the left and right sides of the hull, a total of two fixed guns on the whole ship]
[Power: one main sail in the center of the ship, one auxiliary sail in the bow and stern, 100 oars, 50 oars on each side of the hull, each paddle is rowed by four paddlers]
[The number of personnel on the warship: 800 paddlers (two groups of paddlers take turns to change shifts), 100 gunners, 100 combat sailors, 1 captain, 2 deputy captains on the left and right, 5 people in the direction of the ship, and the number of people on the ship: 1,000 and 8 people!] 】
[Sailing speed: 40 knots per hour]
These three types of gun-carrying warships are different in size, but there is one structure that is the same, that is, the dual power structure of sails and oars!
"What does this stationary artillery mean?" Ying Chang asked suspiciously.
When Yin Hai heard this, he immediately bent down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the fixed artillery is a new type of artillery specially designed for warships, and its performance is not much different from the ugly cow artillery, but it is slightly smaller than the ugly cow artillery, and it cannot be moved, it can only be fixed in the designed position!" ”
"I see!" Ying Chang nodded, a little happy in his heart, the fixed artillery came out like this, it seems that the development of Daqin's thermal weapons is still very rapid.
"Can the ship withstand the weight of the guns and the resulting rear thrust?" Ying Chang stared at Yin Hai without blinking his eyes and asked.
Yin Hai's brows furrowed slightly, and he replied with a slightly solemn expression: "Your Majesty, according to the theory, the weight of the cannon and the rear thrust generated are just within the range of the warship, and these three kinds of warships are not traditional wooden warships, some important positions, such as the bow, stern, both sides of the hull, and the fixed gun position, are inlaid with iron plates, and the comprehensive hardness is far greater than all types of warships in the world, but this also has a fatal problem, that is, the sailing speed is too slow, but this problem has been solved, Increase the speed of your ship by adding oars and driftwood! ”
Ying Chang put down the three drawings and said with some dissatisfaction: "In addition to the speed of the C-class warship reaching my expectations, the speed of the first-class and second-class warships is too slow, and it is no different from the crawling of turtles, we must find a way to solve this problem!" ”
As far as Ying Chang knows, the average speed of warships in all countries is more than 20 nautical miles an hour, and the speed of those small warships is more than 30 nautical miles an hour, and the Class A warships designed by Yin Hai, although they are equipped with more guns, but the speed is too slow, 10 nautical miles an hour, if they meet the enemy, the enemy can easily throw off the Class A warship.
The most important thing is that the slower the ship, the slower the steering speed, if the enemy sends a large number of small boats to charge, it is very likely to avoid the shelling of the Class A warship, go around the flank of the Class A warship, and then land on the Class A warship, which may cause the Class A ship to be snatched by the enemy.
Some people may ask, there are artillery guns in the front and rear of the Class-A warship, and how it is possible for the enemy to go around. You know, artillery also has dead ends, for example, the ugly bull artillery flat range is 500 steps, then within 500 steps is the blind spot of the artillery, the artillery can not hit, that is to say, as long as the enemy is close to the warship within 500 steps, the artillery will become a decoration.
"Your Majesty, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, you either need speed, or you have to attack, all warships in the world are like this, and it is precisely because of this that the minister specially designed a C-class warship born for speed, and the speed of the C-class warship is 40 nautical miles an hour, which is definitely the eternal crown of the whole world's warship!" Yin Hai replied with an embarrassed expression.
It is necessary to be fast and strong in attack, Yin Hai said that it is too difficult.
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, I believe that as long as you have a heart, you will definitely complete the warship with both attack speed!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression.
