Since the employees were all rushing to buy daily necessities that did not know when the price would rise violently, Fang Yan didn't even have half a figure when he walked into the shipyard; If it weren't for the warm golden-red glow of the remnant sun in the western sky, he would have felt as if he had entered the Netherworld Realm. After a short time, he finally found traces of living people in front of the main office building—two demobilized military bodyguards hired by Rudolph. And they were already very familiar with Fang Yan, and after greeting each other, Fang Yan walked straight into the spacious shipyard owner's office, and saw the familiar figure who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"You're back, Jonas." Rudolph smiled, his eyes just looking at the boy in front of him gently. After a few months, Fang Yan seemed to have grown taller again, and the tips of his hair had jumped to his eyelids. And I don't know if it's due to his subjective feelings, Rudolph always feels that Fang Yan's temperament has undergone a slight change: on that delicate and immature face, a little bit of masculinity and heroism has been revealed at this moment.

"I've been busy with affairs for the past few months, and I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're not the same kid you used to be, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Rudolph handed a drink to Fang Yan and said with a slight apology in his voice. Fang Yan shook his head with a smile, raised his hand and drank the glass of cold lemon juice, and soon, the hot and dry air around his body began to slowly subside, and he regained his normal temperature sensation.

Regarding Rudolph's seemingly empty words, Fang Yan did not have any rejection and suspicion, because the person who caused Rudolph's current situation was himself as a traverser. Walter's pyramid scheme in North America continues, with large sums of laundered money every month that need to be transferred and collected by Rudolph without a trace; The shipyard branch in Leningrad is also under construction, and Rudolf will need to run it until his eldest brother Freya completes his studies. And the more important thing is still at home. The collapse of Mark this time is a godsend for Rudolph, who has a lot of dollars in his hands; With this strong currency, it is almost invincible in the process of acquiring and merging domestic enterprises. In order to use the resources in his hands to expand his strength as much as possible, Rudolph could not relax at all.

"My father is busy and tired for the family, and Jonas only regrets that he can't help him, so how can he ask his father to be by his side all the time like he was a few years ago?" Fang Yan looked at the cheap father in front of him, who had a few more traces of time than when he had just crossed over, and he couldn't help but feel a little indignation and warmth in his heart. He calmed down slightly, and said, "This time I came back, mainly to verify the ship design I made. Two years ago, the shipyard unfortunately missed the order for the cruiser 'Emden', and I always felt that this was the reason why our proposal was not competitive enough. Now I have some new ideas and want to ask the professionals in the shipyard to see if they are viable. ”

Rudolph's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he turned his gaze to the slender wooden box in Fang Yan's hand; Under his gaze, Fang Yan gently opened the lock on the outside and spread a rolled-up drawing on the desk, while looking at him with a calm gaze. Over the years, Rudolph has long known about Fang Yan's lingering in the navy books in his spare time, and now he is completely able to say his thoughts positively. And for the blue water heart that his child has always shown, Rudolf who does not want to be a villain has always been supportive, although the current navy is far from the most glorious Kaiser era in terms of reputation and scale, but this military status will not disgrace the reputation of the Brom family.

Seeing Fang Yan's calm eyes with a hint of persistence, Rudolph sighed helplessly in his heart; I'm afraid that my favorite young son will really hang himself on the crooked neck tree of the navy. He nodded slowly and said, "This is easy to do." There are some designers working overtime at night every day in the shipyard, and it won't be long before you get the answers you want. But don't put too much effort into this area, after all, next year's further education is the core priority you need to focus on first. ”

The remnant sun slowly sank below the horizon, leaving only a crimson glow lingering in the western sky. The chef in his own shipyard prepared a corresponding dinner for Fang Yan and the others, and the ordinary bread and broth were already sumptuous dishes that ordinary people did not dare to think of in the current Germany. After simply solving his appetite, Fang Yan found that the shipyard, which was still as quiet as a grave just now, was a little angry at the moment: the workers who had spent their wages to the point began to work in twos and threes, and the faint fragrance of potato soup wafted from the canteen not far away.

A short time later, a man of medium stature knocked on the open door. Under the bright light, Fang Yan's face could be seen clearly: he looked about fifty years old, and his eyes under a pair of lenses were also bright, but his hair could see a large patch of obvious gray, as if he had been engaged in high-intensity mental work for many years. Rudolph invited the people into the house, and then turned his head and introduced to Fang Yan: "Jonas, this is Mr. Lane, the director of the capital ship design department, and the last generation of the Empire's battle cruiser Mackenson class is his main design. If you have any questions, please ask Mr. Ryan, this is a rare opportunity for you. ”

The man with glasses called Ryan looked at Fang Yan, who was outstanding, and nodded slightly proudly, he had already heard the people sent by Rudolph tell him the ins and outs of the matter. Although Ryan, who was quite proud of his talents, was reluctant to do such a meaningless thing, after a few trade-offs, he still felt that he had to give his employer a face; After all, the current economic situation is different from that of the past, and the capitalist who is willing to pay a lot of money to support a technician like him, who cannot directly create wealth, is already very rare in the whole of Germany.

Seeing Ryan's cold demeanor, Fang Yan couldn't help but secretly scold himself, but he still had a look of surprise on his face, and respectfully invited him to the desk covered with Fang Yan's design drawings. Originally, Ryan's face was still full of casual and relaxed looks, but when he set his eyes on the drawings, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes flashed, revealing many expressions of surprise, shock, and hesitation.

Fang Yan, who was standing next to him, was silent, and he was no longer worried about the situation after that.

In future naval battles, it is undoubtedly the carrier-based aviation units released by aircraft carriers that will play a decisive role in the victory or defeat on the battlefield. These lightning-flying warplanes are like torpedoes and shells fired by aircraft carriers, and their effective range is more than ten times that of naval guns; Even if the traditional artillery warships were as strong as Yamato and Musashi, they could only be beaten by locusts in the sky, and finally ended up dead without a corpse.

However, the number of aircraft carriers is very small in the entire navy. It is impossible for a fleet to consist entirely of aircraft carriers, which necessarily requires a large number of destroyers, cruisers, and even a small number of battleships to coordinate with each other; Auxiliary reconnaissance, anti-submarine escort, anti-aircraft cover, fire support, and other tasks must rely on these accompanying ships to accomplish them. Therefore, improving the performance of these artillery ships is undoubtedly an important part of strengthening the navy. The treaty cruiser with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons that Fang Yan showed to Lane at present contains the three most classic designs that have been summarized by later generations and have undergone actual combat testing.

At this moment, Ryan was attracted by the cross-sectional view of the "armor box" type defense with the outward layout of the inward-tilted main armor and supplemented by a single layer of large-thickness horizontal armor. This kind of defensive layout adopted on the Yamato is the culmination of 30 years of exploration and development of armored defense since the Navy entered the era of armor-piercing shells. Compared to the dome structure that was popular during World War I and was still regarded as the model by German designers until World War II, this layout not only consumes less weight, but also has higher bullet resistance, and even raises the height of the core cabin by a whole deck, thus greatly increasing the volume of the core cabin that can be used.

In addition, the design of the hull structure integrated with armor also made the eyes of Ryan, who has been immersed in shipbuilding for many years, shine. Generally speaking, whether it is the main armor belt located on the side of the gunwale, or the horizontal defense of the deck, these armor are fixed to a layer of structural steel; However, the design in front of me is unique, directly integrating two layers of steel plates that were originally independent of each other, and becoming a member of the structure to participate in the force. In this way, not only can the fused armor play a bulletproof role of 1 plus 1 greater than 2, but also increase the structural strength of the ship, so that the designer can reduce the weight of the structure in other parts. Historically, this technique was created by Hiraga Jean, the famous "god of shipbuilding" in Japan, and was applied to many post-war Japanese cruisers, with great success. Now that Fang Yan has plagiarized it, it directly opened Ryan's eyes.

If the first two designs could still allow Ryan to maintain his apparent calmness, then the underwater protrusion that Fang Yan set up for the battleship directly made him stare at him. This protrusion is not a normal addition, but is obtained by reducing the width of the water deck in reverse thinking; In this way, the battleship not only greatly reduces the deck defense area, reduces the materials used in the hull structure, but even the speed will be increased due to the reduction of the wet area of the waterline, and the overall performance leap will be extremely terrifying!
