"What's your name?" asked Count Schelling on the side, courtesy, after all, it was impossible for a prince to ask for a slight name.

"Franz. Second Lieutenant Hipper, Honorable Mr. Earl. The young officer replied.

"Well, Hipper, that's a familiar name." The traverser, who had already walked several steps, immediately stopped, "I'll wipe it!" It can't be the same name and surname, right? Hipper! The commander of the battle cruiser formation of the German Navy! Buddy with an English BC Terminator! He's a Bavarian! "The traverser was suddenly a little dizzy!

"What role do you hold now?" The traverser asked, taking two steps back.

"I served as a pilot officer on His Majesty's yacht Hohenzollern. Your Highness," Hipperle said with some flattery.

"Well, that's good. Any ideas? The traverser asked, like a leader in the future.

"Do your job well and do your best for the Imperial Navy." Hipper said immediately.

"Do you like this ship?" The traverser changed his words, which made Hipper a little uncomfortable.

"This is the most advanced and excellent warship of the Empire. To be able to serve on this, even if only as a sailor, is a great honor. "Hipper is a little confused.

"It's just the beginning, and maybe in a few years, he's not the best." The traverser glanced at the other party, and then said meaningfully.

There are a lot of celebrities I see today, and these legendary powers of later generations are really not usually seen, if there is really something, then they are all piled up. In fact, it's normal to think about it, the ceremony attended by the crown prince, the royal cruise ship will naturally appear, as the officer on the ship, it is normal for Hipper to be in charge of welcoming guests, I don't know who people will be seen next! The traverser is looking forward to it!

Although we are friends, we are not military allies, so on this latest warship of the German Navy, there are still some places that are not allowed to go, such as the two 11-inch L40 single-mounted gun turrets at the end of the war, but in order to meet the invitation of the Russian officers, the German Navy allows the Russian officers to visit the secondary gun group on the side chord of the battleship.

And this time it was the cannon commander of the Mainz who led the team. Under his leadership, the group came to the secondary artillery area. And because there were a lot of people on the ship, after the two crown princes and their entourage left, it was the turn of the second echelon represented by the traversers! Although it is only a secondary artillery area, it has been improved by the traverser and has given the Russians a long insight!

On the sidestring gun deck, each 6-inch gun gallery was separated from the other guns to form a separate armoured box. After entering the gun emplacement, a telescope-like thing was installed on each gun, and for secrecy, the lenses at both ends were specially sealed, and next to the gun emplacement, there was a compass-like thing.

"What is this device?" Admiral Popov asked.

"Oh, this is a distance indication device, our warship has installed a device at the top that can measure the distance, as long as the target is locked in the middle, and the approximate data of the target can be clearly calculated between the two sides. And this distance will be sent to each gun position through a set of transmission equipment, and then each gun position can shoot directly according to the distance, without having to estimate it yourself. Moreover, this set of equipment can also rest the errors caused by the swing of the battleship. Through this set of equipment, our shooting accuracy has improved by more than 5%! ”

"And this telescope-like thing is the visual sight that comes with the gun position, according to the Navy's experiments, with this kind of sight, the use of new artillery can directly attack targets within 4,000 meters, without relying on the trimming of the rangefinder." On the side, the gun commander of the armored cruiser Mainz who was in charge of the reception proudly explained.

"This thing is a bit mysterious!" Popov was taken aback, and a hint of suspicion appeared on his face. Then he turned his gaze to Prince Ruprecht, who should have more say.

"This system is very complicated, and whether there is this fire control system or not directly affects the accuracy of the battleship's hit. It can increase the combat effectiveness of the battleship by about 5 percent. There will be a fire demonstration in 3 days, and then you will be able to see his power. At the signal of the traverser, Baron Vittorio explained.

"It's an amazing invention." Popov exclaimed sincerely.

Think about how earthy the Russians' artillery skills are now? Ranging is basically measured by the naked eye and a sextant. Then check the firing table, and finally fire fire. Although some people are already aware of the impact of the rollout of the battleship on shooting, but realizing that the problem and solving the problem are completely two different concepts, and the Russians have no other way than to take a pendulum and figure it out for themselves!

Look at the German battleships again! This design is really high, optical ranging, and then transmitted to each gun position, each gun position also has a simple auxiliary aiming equipment! A bunch of Russians are completely incomprehensible, but they look amazing!

And looking at the Russians who were a little dizzy, the traverser couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. Because only he knows what kind of virtue he has made with that common sense of fire control.

It is possible to compensate for the vertical deviation caused by the ship's swaying, but it requires an experienced gunner who can grasp the uniform time period when the ship is shaking and then adjust the gun mount. Although it is assisted by relevant equipment, it basically depends on the gunner's own level.

As for ranging? To put it bluntly, this thing is simpler, that is, it also adds an information transmission device to the 1.5-meter horizontal convergence rangefinder. One of these subsystems, the so-called "short-distance telegraph" transmission, was used by the British in 1885.

As for the more complex things like the rate of change of velocity, direction angle and relative displacement, sorry, there are none of these things, except for the most basic distance data, the rest depends on luck and feel! However, even so, this system can effectively improve the hit rate of artillery, and some of the technologies and means in these systems were not popularized after the Sino-Japanese War! It's simple, but it's still a work that transcends its time!

"Captain, your expertise is very good, what's your name?" The traverser looked at the stunned Russian with great satisfaction, so he asked casually.

"Maximilian. Feng. Spee! Hail to you, Your Royal Highness! The captain snapped a military salute and replied in a loud voice.

"I'll go! O Cannon King! No wonder it's professional! The level of gunnery of the two armored cruisers of the Far Eastern Fleet is shocking, this is another celebrity! "Just the few people I saw today, the traverser felt that it was worth the trip.

"Very good, keep it up, the firepower display in 3 days is the time to test your training level." The traverser encouraged.

"Yes, Your Highness." Captain Spee replied. And just as the traverser was about to say a few more words, Count Schelling came up and signaled that it was time for lunch. The two crown princes are waiting.
