Now all kinds of "high-tech" under the entire Senate system are just like the current wooden-hulled battleships, all of which are directly filled with fresh gadgets in all kinds of shoddy shells. . Due to the lowering of the center of gravity, the original three-layer gun deck in the bow was removed in a stunned way, and the space for installing the rotating turret was dug directly from the second gun deck, and the bottom layer of the hull was used as the engine installation point, and the propeller used for the propulsion of the capital ship could not be processed because of the existing capacity, so only the propeller could be used. The shipyard that can't figure out the waterproof bearings and no oilwood adopts the simplest transmission method, which is a huge transmission shaft that transmits power directly to the ship's side through the transmission chain at the bottom of the steam engine, and the end of the transmission shaft is connected to a large gearbox, and the hull on both sides of the gearbox position is grooved, and then the power is transmitted to the two small transmission shafts hanging outside through the transmission chain, and finally directly connected to the screw thruster below the waterline through a transmission shaft. Although this method is more complex and has a large power loss, it is the most suitable method under the existing conditions, at least the horse can use it.

However, after being modified in this way, the shape of the hull is a little ugly, the gunwales of the original sharp ship are higher, and the stern tower is higher, and the position of the command deck is at least thirteen or fourteen meters from the water. But now, in order to lower the center of gravity and install the rotating turret, the bulwarks have been cut four or five meters in height. In order to match the center of gravity and ensure the strength of the hull, the aft tower had to be lowered by two floors, so that the overall height of the ship was even larger. Due to the need to install a steam engine and a rotating turret, the internal space of the hull had to be compressed, and the need to keep the coal bunker for coal and the bunker for storing fresh water really didn't have much space left, and the originally very crowded space only seemed more crowded at the moment.

The biggest difference between the converted capital ship and the original Fengrui ship is that most of the things above the hull deck have been removed, the mast and sail ropes have all been swept away, and there is nothing left of the entire hull - if there is nothing left, although the bridge is now installed in the position of the mainmast, the original mainmast is retained. However, since there is no need to use sail propulsion, the height of the mainmast has also been shortened, to only 267 meters high, and the top is installed from the bottom of the communication antenna, rangefinder, white light shooting director, searchlight, observer pod and other equipment to ensure that you can know yourself and your opponent when fighting at sea.

However, before the two Pan Changjiang were put into service, the main strength of the Chinese Navy was still the two sharp ships that had been modified by small works. At this moment, Tang Xunliang saw the effect of the bombing, asked the staff officers on the side to make a record, and then began to issue new orders.

The knot is far from being a ghost and Sun learned the art of the moon too much

Each boat carried four small hair boats, all of which had been put into the water at the moment. The ships were carrying more than 100 soldiers, and soon the sailors of the ships set up gangplanks on both sides of the boats, connecting the hull with the small boat. Soldiers with weapons and equipment on their backs lined up in the boat, one by one they walked past the springboard that was shaking like ants, and then stood in front of the small hair boat, reaching out and grabbing the side of the boat to prevent it from falling into the water.

Even if everyone was careful, there were still soldiers who slipped under their feet without paying attention or fell into the water because of the shaking of the waves. Although it is not the peak of the low tide at this moment, the strength of the low tide is still very large, and the horse is washed down the current for dozens of meters after someone falls into the water, and the small hair boat is carrying personnel at the moment, unable to rescue, and can only watch them being washed away.

"Those soldiers are dead," Mycenaeus said, zooming in on the camera and looking at the soldiers who were soaked in the sea, and said with a slight smile, "Now the tide is very fast at this time, and they still have muskets or something, and it is difficult to float, the sea will pull them directly to the bottom of the sea and drown." ”

But as if slapped in the face, a strange sailboat came out of the tail of the Fufune transport fleet, which had been hiding under the shadow of the sail before and had not been detected at all, and suddenly appeared at this moment to the surprise of these generals - where is this ship? Not at all!

There were about three or four sailors on the small sailing boat in the telescope, and they were busy running around the boat at the moment, constantly correcting the angle and direction of the sails. "It can't be!" Mycenae was the first to cry out, "This ship is too fast!" At least sixteen knots! ”

As he spoke, the brisk trimaran rowed through several waves and turned in front of a soldier overboard. A sailor with a lasso in his hand half-crouched and half-kneeled on the side of the hull close to the person, sticking outward, as if to come to the rescue.

The sailboat rushed towards the floating head, and even when it approached, the sailboat did not slow down, and the soldiers in the water did not look like they wanted to dodge, but stretched out their right arm high. I saw that the sailor in the small hull of the sailboat stretched out his arm raised in the water with a lasso, and the sailor also copied the noose with his arm, and the two worked together, and the sailor who saw the water turned over dexterously, and was directly pulled by the inertia of the sailboat, and fell on the rope between the three hulls of the sailboat.

"Look! Look! Russell's voice immediately rang out, drawing the eyes of the other two, "You see, these small boats carrying soldiers of theirs have no sails!" ”

The small hair boat slowed down near the Sharp, but did not stop, but began to circle behind the Sharp, and the other boats also circled after arriving, circling the west side of the Sharp.

As if to confirm Mycenae's words, the guns of the destroyer and the sharp ship were fired almost simultaneously, and the beach and the mud near the beach were swept by the flying shells, Russell couldn't help but gasp, "This kind of fire density is too terrible, if my marines were there, they would definitely be killed at least half, and the rest of the people would not be able to organize a strong resistance." ”

The bow of the small hair boat split the waves and rushed towards the beach, even on the shallow water, without slowing down in the slightest, but directly by inertia. The soldiers clung to the side of the boat, clutched their weapons, and when the boat finally stopped, they jumped off the sides of the hull and staggered forward like shrimp on the beach. As soon as the soldiers on the beach unfurled, a second wave of small boats washed up on the beachhead, followed by a third wave.

"It's going to take at least a noon, and if there is no accident, several people will have to drown each landing." Mycenae said with a wry smile, but Kirkman did not join in the conversation, "Look! Those dozens of small boats of the Chinese people! Are you going backwards on the beach? ”
