Chapter 075: The Prospect of the Great Voyage
"My lord is right, the relevant research on ships by the Sea Ship Institute has been divided into three trends, but because some of the key technologies have not been broken through, its progress has been stuck here!"
When it comes to ship research, Chen He's face is much more excited, and he talks endlessly about the extension of this.
"According to the development direction of sea ships mentioned by adults, as a first-class important ironclad warship, although it is still only in the demonstration stage, it has made the greatest optimization of the ship's own carrying capacity!
Once the carrying problem is solved, the seagoing ship will carry out corrosion resistance demonstration, of course, there are many problems in the middle, so that many of them cannot corroborate each other.
Therefore, it will still take a long time for the first series of ironclad battleships to appear! ”
Regarding what Chen He said, Zhao Zongwu did not simply and rudely interrupt it.
Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart that the fundamental problem of driving force could not be solved, that is, the steam engine could not be developed, and the ironclad battleship would be a sweet dream.
Therefore, talking about ironclad battleships at this stage is certainly an unattainable existence, but this does not mean that there will be no opportunities in the future, after all, the development trajectory of sea ships in the future is ironclad battleships!
There were a lot of thoughts in his mind, and seeing a trace of disappointment flashing in Chen He's eyes, Zhao Zongwu was also relieved: "This matter will know the difficulty of it, and we can't be discouraged about this!"
If everything is so easy to do, then what do we want to do here that we forget to sleep and eat? The direction is right, but the time is not yet ripe, you just need to solve the problem one by one, it is much better than being scared and daring! ”
Although it is very difficult in the middle, Zhao Zongwu thinks in his heart that this should still have the confidence, if there is no these, then what is there to explore the unknown and challenge the future?
Chen He nodded heavily and said, "What the adults said is that the little ones will definitely study the ironclad battleship!"
Truly let it gallop in the sea!
Let the Liaodong Royal Navy become the strongest army in the world! ”
With Zhao Zongwu's encouragement, it also warmed Chen He's heart, after all, being able to have what they are today is inseparable from their great support!
This is unimaginable before!
"Compared with the wandering of ironclad warships, the sea ship station has formulated different tonnage classes of artillery for different purposes, although the tonnage class has been clear, but the quality of the required artillery is not up to par!
Often three rounds are fired rapidly, and there will be a dumb fire and a blow up, although for this problem, the small number of suggestions mentioned to the discussion many times, but in the end they are all stuck in the process!
In order to solve this problem, the sea ship thought about changing the small artillery, but the trouble caused by this rose sharply, which also made the artillery that should have been finalized and mass-produced rush to attack the ship because of the lack of qualified artillery, and it was stuck here for a long time! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zongwu understood that this was originally dissatisfied with the artillery needed by the ship!
But it's actually right to think about it in my heart, I didn't make a smoothbore cannon and depict rifling, which in itself makes the artillery full of uncertainties.
But if because of this factor, the Liaodong Royal Navy loses its strongest offensive seagoing ship, then he, Zhao Zongwu, is a hundred unwilling!
Although there are already 1,500-tonnage sea ships in the final and mass production ships, it is based on the Daming treasure ship after all, and the optimized version has been carried out!
If this series of artillery ships are finalized and mass-produced, the lowest level is 1200 tonnage!
This is in the current state of the world's navy, not to mention the creation of more than a dozen naval fleet groups, just two or three naval fleet groups are enough to dominate the endless sea area!
Zhao Zongwu's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Improve this series of ships as soon as possible, Ben General has been to the seminar before this, and has put forward many opinions on artillery casting, and I believe that the required artillery will be solved in a short time!" ”
Hearing Zhao Zongwu's affirmative answer, Chen He's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said even more excitedly: "If that's the case, that's really good!" ”
If the newly cast artillery can meet the requirements of sea ships, then Chen He and the others can upgrade this series of artillery attack ships on this basis, and cooperate with Jinzhou Shipyard to produce top ships for the Liaodong Royal Navy!
Seeing that Chen He was a little too excited, Zhao Zongwu asked rhetorically: "Then what kind of ship is the third category you are talking about?" ”
After Chen He heard this, Ben's excited expression became solemn, and he said, "My lord, this third-class ship is completely different from the previous ships.
First of all, it's huge! Laying with giant logs, building secret cabins, setting up airships, and forming fleet groups, if measured by displacement, can reach more than 5,000 tonnage.
According to the instructions made by the adults, the future Liaodong Royal Navy is to gallop across the endless sea frontier, and if there is such an artifact in the vast sea.
Even if anyone sees it, the courage will be broken. ”
Not to mention that others were frightened, Zhao Zongwu was shocked in his heart when he heard this, what the hell is the situation, why did you get the aircraft carrier out?!
Isn't this a joke?!
You don't have planes, what kind of aircraft carrier are you playing!
Zhao Zongwu really can't imagine what kind of scene it will be in the sea without steam and nuclear energy as the driving force of the aircraft carrier, and it is still built of giant trees!
But savor it, maybe this can really become a Zhenguo artifact!
If you don't go far, you will temporarily dominate the nearby waters, the island, the treasure island, the South Seas, first fight with the red-haired ghosts, blow them up with an airship, this seems to be a very good choice!
As a nation that likes to create miracles, the Huaxia clan doesn't seem to have anything that can't be done, and since it has begun to take shape, Zhao Zongwu will definitely not hit it!
At least to complete such a feat, Zhao Zongwu feels that this will be a qualitative leap for the development of sea vessels!
Therefore, Zhao Zongwu encouraged: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential, except for the craftsmen involved, the rest should not be inquired too much."
In this regard, soldiers will be sent to protect it, but at this stage, they will only specialize in one, as for the ships required for the relevant needs, they will be equipped according to the actual needs when the giant ship is built! ”
Although this will fail to a large extent, but once this move is successful, the changes brought about are also huge, since the Ming Dynasty can build a great Ming treasure ship, then why can't it now, build a micro light aircraft carrier?
For scientific innovation, Zhao Zongwu is 100% supportive!
After getting Zhao Zongwu's affirmation, Chen He's hanging heart also fell, originally he thought that his own adults would not agree to them messing around like this at all!
But the final result is obviously not as bad as imagined, and even the result is very good!
