There is no way to build a ship quickly, and it can only gradually climb forward on the current research route, but for such a type of thing, the Navy has a certain amount of experience, which is nothing more than increasing investment.

For example, the traditional verification method is to wait until there is a problem, and then deal with it according to the problem, depending on the navy, will select 100, or even 1000 experimental subjects, targeted testing, find out some data indicators, and summarize the rules from the data.

For this rule, in a short period of time, the number formed may be 100 times that of the ordinary test, which will definitely produce results quickly, but this method has the only weakness, that is, the huge cost.

At present, the economy is already very large, because of Zhao Xin's long-term vision, coupled with the economic system that has been formed, the labor efficiency of the Dinghai Navy is very high, and under the premise of ensuring enough workers, countless wealth can be created every year, and it doesn't matter if this wealth is wasted.

Zhao Xin very much hopes that the ship will be built faster, and it doesn't matter if he pays a little price for it, the reason is that Zhao Xin has the plot of the ship's giant cannon.

Even in the 21st century, there is still a lot of thought about the battleship duel during the First World War more than 100 years ago, whether it is Britain, or Germany, and the unprecedented arms race, which is the focus of debate among military fans.

On the contrary, it was during World War II, more exciting, and the duel of aircraft carriers with stronger combat effectiveness, few people mentioned, although, military fans also know, aircraft carriers replace battleships, that is the general trend of historical development, it can be seen that Yamato was easily sunk by dozens of aircraft, but for aircraft carriers, military fans really can't love it.

Battleships, if you start with dreadnoughts, it means that the caliber of the barrel is at least 11 inches or more, the displacement is more than 20,000 tons, and the maximum speed must be at least more than 18 knots.

This is a steel monster, and from the moment it appears, at sea, except for battleships that can deal with battleships, other ships are difficult to deal with.

Although it is said that in the history of war, there are examples of submarines sinking battleships, but those are all fearless, and even most of them are still injured, in the real head-to-head confrontation, the dignified sinking is still to the aircraft carrier period, from the beginning of the 20th century, to the middle of the 20th century, battleships are the main force of the navy, even in the early and middle of World War II, battleships are also capital ships.

At present, the Ding Navy already has some of the indicators of battleships, artillery and armor are the key, 11-inch guns, that is, 280 mm, the caliber of this artillery, as early as two years ago, has been made by the Ding Navy, in terms of power, I don't know if it can be compared with the battleship guns of the First World War, but it is already good.

After that, step by step, up to now, basically reached 400 mm, compared to the 16-inch 406 mm, just a little worse, the same, a large number of artillery technology in the second half of the 20th century, such as hands, self-tightening of the tube body, gun hoops, and internal gilding, even at the same level of steel level, the Ding Navy has been much more powerful than the artillery of the First World War, not to mention, this level is even higher.

Traverser, Niu Dali, plus the card system, the power of the combination of the three, so that the Ding Navy is very terrifying, in the 11th century, it has the steel level of the end of the 20th century, it is relatively easy to make artillery, and it is even easier to make armor.

The surface is doped with carbon, which is the starting point of strengthening the armor, but how can such armor be compared with the surface coating, or even to a certain extent, a certain composite armor, while maintaining the hardness, also has the ability to absorb energy, which strengthens the strength of the armor to a certain extent.

Armor and artillery, which is one attack and one defense, can be said to be the spear and shield of the battleship, which occupies a very important part of the various subsystems of the battleship, but yes, they are not all, and there are even many indicators of the battleship that are affected.

For example, the layout of the entire battleship, the battleship, is for combat use, he needs all-weather combat capability, then, stability under high sea conditions, is extremely important, this point, is the weakness of the navy, the navy even ships, some of the strength is not enough, not to mention more terrible, more powerful warships.

In the same way, the power system is also a huge problem, the battleship needs to concentrate a large enough power in a limited space, this power is the key to the battleship, only this power can propel more than 20,000 tons of battleship, sailing at a speed of more than 18 knots.

This was the most terrible battleship of real human creation, all the way up to the development of aircraft, and the replacement of aircraft carriers with the position of battleships.

Power is very critical, whether it is a steam turbine or a three-expansion reciprocating steam engine, these are not the parts that the current Dinghai Navy can relate, but the artillery has been made.

A 400 mm caliber gun, this is a behemoth, and this is not all, because a simple artillery, its weight is the largest, that is, that is, so much, but in fact, the Dinghai Navy made a battery on the basis of this artillery.

That's right, the turret of a battleship, that is, a battleship with full heavy artillery, not only has a variety of automated loading equipment, but also has a strong protective capability.

Of course, this cannot be compared with the main armor, but the thick armor is enough to protect the safety of the navy in war.

The medium weight of a simple 400-mm gun is as high as 130 tons, and if it is a twin battery, his weight is more than 1000 tons,

Such a thing is normal if it is placed on a warship of more than 20,000 tons, and the cleavage is placed in a small one, say 5,000 tons, 10,000 tons, it will not work at all.

Small boats pull cannons, in the early stage of the development of warships, it is more obvious, for example, Japan in order to deal with the battleships prepared by the Beiyang Naval Division, that is, to use small tonnage ships, pull up large cannons, this is a kind of reverse naval development, in the later stage, basically to be harmonious and unified, the mainstream naval countries, rarely appear that kind of seven-turret artifact ships, and only in less developed countries will appear.

The construction capacity of the navy, the heavy artillery has long been figured out, and the fort, although it is a little difficult, but after Zhao Xin drew up the drawings, it was also made, and even some more fresh things were also studied and tested in advance under Zhao Xin's suggestion.

Zhao Xin is a military enthusiast, and he is also very eager for the era of ship artillery, some basic things of battleships, for example, knapsack distribution, for example, unified caliber, all-heavy artillery capital ships, these are all basic concepts, he knows them, but unfortunately, on ships, they are restricted.

This is not an overnight success, for Zhao Xin, who is eager for the appearance of battleships, he wants to reduce this process as much as possible, so he will reduce, as for the investment consumed in this process, it doesn't matter, this is regarded as an inevitable investment in the development period.

Because of the existence of Zhao Xin, there is such a prophet as Zhao Xin, in terms of research, it costs very little, most of it, Zhao Xin guides the right direction, for example, ships, in history, ships have actually experienced a lot, and even auxiliary power has a lot of choices, and in the end, history proves that the steam engine is the most suitable to install.

This is also the root of why the basic science and technology investment is so large, non-state, or some huge companies can have the ability to promote, is because there are too many things that need to be verified in basic technology, and in countless failures, you can be lucky to get a way forward.

It's a pity that all this, here in Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin can easily see the road of future development, get the best, and the easiest.

Zhao Xin also knows that this will lose something, you must know that the mistakes of huge basic research, to a certain extent, will produce a huge waste, but these failed processes, failed research, perhaps after a breakthrough in a certain aspect, will become a primitive accumulation, which has been verified countless times in later generations.

If it is said that for the sake of these failed experiences, according to the future generations, comprehensive research, that is what Zhao Xin does not want to see, Zhao Xin's vision, can support for a long time, if it can be in thirty or forty years, basically, to catch up with the development height of later generations, Zhao Xin in order to make the development of science and technology stable, or will develop in an all-round way, but before that, there is no such significance.

On the road to success, speed is the most important thing, and quality is not considered until a certain height is reached.

For naval guns, the best thing is to put it on the ship, 400 mm main gun, which is no longer what a sail battleship can withstand, even if it is large, it is impossible, and even to a certain extent, the maximum caliber that a sail battleship can accommodate is about 100 mm.

You must know that in the era of Spanish sailing ships, a first-class battleship could accommodate hundreds of guns of not small caliber, but unfortunately those guns were old-style guns, such artillery, their power was not large, most of them were in the range between 500 meters and 2000 meters, and the recoil was acceptable.

With the Dinghai Navy, the in-depth research on artillery, especially the improvement of explosives, has developed by leaps and bounds, and the power has increased by ten times, plus the self-tightening of various pipe bodies, as well as the improvement of the cannon hoop, to put it bluntly, in terms of boring and pressing at the time of explosion, it has been increased by more than 10 times, in this case, the material of the artillery itself can withstand the impact of the explosion, but the recoil is not good.

Later generations also had recoilless guns, but recoilless guns, mostly single-handed, or small-caliber, large-caliber artillery, can be set up to reduce recoil, but it is impossible to completely reduce it, and even some artillery, in order to ensure power, will not use the design of recoil reduction.

In this case, the power of artillery is very much improved, but for wooden sailing ships, it is not so friendly, to put it bluntly, strong recoil, is a nightmare for wooden sailing ships.

From about 180 mm, to 150, and then to 105, step by step, if you look at the inches, it has almost been reduced to 4 inches, but for the Spanish sailing ships, the increase in the power of the artillery also represents the improvement of combat effectiveness, with the help of some platforms and armor, when it can withstand the recoil of 105 mm guns, the number of guns of a ship has also decreased from 174 at its peak to about 60, but the overall power is not the same.

Not to mention the firing range, the new 105 mm gun, its firing range, has reached an astonishing 10 kilometers, although for the effective range, only a little more than half, but this distance, compared with the previous huge improvement.

Another increase is the power, the 105 mm gun using the new gunpowder, his power is no worse than the old 210 mm gun, not to mention the rate of fire, 3 times, or even higher, so that the battleships of the Ding Navy, not only did not weaken, but increased.

However, Zhao Xin, who was accustomed to the huge artillery of ships, especially Zhao Xin, who was looking forward to the Battle of Jutland, hoped to see that the battleship was born into his hands in the current state, and that the scientific and technological conditions for the navy were already in place.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Xin, regardless of the need, forcibly turned on the heavy artillery, you must know that the guns currently loaded on the Spanish sailing ships are only 105 mm, even 152 mm, because of the huge recoil, can not be loaded on the Spanish sailing ships, let alone more than 250 mm guns.

But Zhao Xin still did this, I thought that with the speed of development of the navy, on the steamer, it must be like a sailboat, in a year or two, it will progress from 200 stone to 20,000 stone, but unfortunately, the overall structure of the problem, so that he does not have this possibility, in this case, although the investment in the ship is gradually increasing, it is expected to see the ship in a short time, but the battleship, it is almost impossible.

Under such a premise, the 400 mm gun is a little too big, at least, without the ship, even if the others drag him to move, it is very difficult, but even if it is a Spanish galleon, it cannot withstand the recoil of more than 150 mm of artillery, let alone 400 mm, without an all-steel battleship, it simply cannot withstand the recoil of such a beast.

Zhao Xin's control over the Dinghai Navy, not to mention the investment in artillery, even the exploration of the American shipping lane, a project that has taken many years and cost a huge amount of money, can also withstand all the pressure to implement, but this project is too costly, and only then did someone raise objections to the internal reference, and no one said anything about a project like artillery.

Zhao Xin is not afraid of being said, but he will not let himself, too wasteful, the importance of the American Passage is only known to him, artillery, although it is the same, but it is impossible to use such a large gun on a ship, it does not mean that this artillery has no other use, and soon, Zhao Xin found a use for this artillery on land.
