Early the next morning, Zhang Lin found Smith again, accompanied by Smith, and continued to watch the construction of Montana, this time it was a close view, by this time, in fact, the construction of Montana was already very fast, and the construction on land had been largely completed, and it would be built in a few days!

"Mr. Zhang Lin, I have to say that you have a very good level of division of the battleship's cabins, our engineers here agree that the cabins you divide greatly improve the anti-sinking of the battleship, and it is very beneficial to protect the core components of the battleship, if you are not particularly lucky, it is difficult for the enemy's shells to penetrate the core of the battleship, at certain angles, there are some opportunities to shoot the shells into the core of the battleship, these protective measures will greatly improve the survival of the battleship!" Smith was full of praise for Zhang Lin's cabin division in Montana!

Zhang Lin smiled: "You can only have a future if you survive the battle, right?" Zhang Lin took out a stack of papers from his jacket pocket, "This is the detailed parameters and structural diagram of a battleship, Mr. Smith take a look, what opinion do you have on this!" ”

After Smith's results, he carefully looked at it more than a dozen times, "There is no problem, it is a very clever design, but the distribution of the main turret and the division of armor are very strange?" ”

"What's so strange about Mr. Smith?" Zhang Lin would also like to hear what Smith thinks of the Bismarck-class battleships, after all, when Bismarck was in service, she was one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why do you choose four twin-mounted 380 mm caliber main guns, and the scale of armor protection is too large! I have never seen a battleship with such a large scale of protection! Smith frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang Lin, can you explain it to me!" ”

"This battleship was designed with survivability and gun survivability in mind, and you know, the battleship is the most vulnerable to damage to the main turret during gun fire! So the battleships of this class used the principle of dispersing the main turret, and even damage to one main turret in battle would not have much impact on firepower! Zhang Lin paused and continued: "This armor layout is called comprehensive protection, the advantage is that the protection is in place, the attack resistance is strong, and it relies on the large space provided by the large-area protection, and the core components of the battleship can be calmly arranged, and it has a layer of dome armor under the deck armor, which can effectively resist the threat of the shells penetrating from above to the core, and the survival of the ship is greatly guaranteed." But the disadvantage is that there is too much armor, which takes up a lot of drainage, but these are not big problems, you can replace the main gun, and the armor configuration can also be optimized! ”

After listening to Zhang Lin's explanation, Smith shook his head, "No, this configuration is very good, the main gun can be replaced with a triple assembly, but there is no need to modify the armor configuration, this armor protection will definitely attract the attention of many people, now the battleship is too easy to sink because the armor protection configuration is unreasonable, we have studied it for a long time, and we have not jumped out of this strange circle Every time it is affected by the previous generation of warships, now is the time to innovate, this kind of battleship will be purchased in large quantities by various countries, I'm going to beat my competitors this time! "Smith is in love with Zhang Lin to death, and this time with the Bismarck-class battleship, he will definitely make his arms company the leader in this industry.

"You're not going to sell the Montana class?" Zhang Lin doesn't know much about business, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in Smith's gourd!

"The Montana class is too advanced for this world, this is my hole card for the finale, of course I can't play it directly, the Bismarck class is already very advanced, and now our battleships have not yet reached this level, if Montana is launched, it will cause chaos, I don't want to see this situation!"

Then Zhang Lin thought that the Edward was an experimental battleship for the Reims Empire before, and the thing was to verify the feasibility of the ship's equipment, there were many problems, Zhang Lin had a deep understanding, the four hundred and six mm naval guns used in the Second Fleet of the Reims Empire were relatively mature, and the overall performance of the Edward was comparable to the North Carolina-class battleships on the earth, and the firepower was a little stronger than the North Carolina-class, but it was even worse than the Iowa class, in terms of comprehensive performance!

In other words, the shipbuilding technology in this world is still a little backward, and it is not an exaggeration for Smith to think so!

Then Smith said to Zhang Lin: "Mr. Zhang Lin, does there still have a warship that is one level lower than this warship, that is, it is equivalent to the main warship in the world at present, after all, this is the warship we really want to sell, and the others can be used as scientific and technological reserves!" ”

Zhang Lin naturally understood what Smith meant, but Zhang Lin considered a lot of things, such as the division of interests, "Of course, I have other plans for warships here......" Zhang Lin said half of his words, and it depends on whether Smith can understand what he means!

Smith couldn't be more clear about what Zhang Lin meant, Zhang Lin gave him the design of the battleship, just for the sake of profit, as long as you can pay the price, "Of course, it's not for Mr. Zhang Lin to contribute in vain, the Bismarck-class is what we said before, I will arrange to build one for Mr. Zhang Lin as soon as possible, this time Mr. Zhang Lin gave me the battleship, we will divide it fifty-fifty, how about it?" ”

Zhang Linjue's Smith is very good, after all, it will be very profitable to sell the now popular main battleship, and it will not make others suspect anything, and when the opponent develops the next generation of warships, and then throws out the data of the Bismarck-class, I believe that it will suppress the opponent, and it is not a matter to crush the opponent for a long time! However, Zhang Lin's need for money is not very urgent, he needs his own shipyard, some warships, Zhang Lin hopes that he can build them, not sell them to others, and sell Montana-class battleships Zhang Lin is very reluctant in his heart!

"Mr. Smith, let me make a few requests, you see if you can agree, if you can agree, I can provide you with three different types of battleship blueprints, and the level is one level higher than the current capital battleship, a battleship, a cruiser, and a battlecruiser, how about it?"

Hearing that Zhang Lin was so mastery, Smith's breathing was a little short: "What is Mr. Zhang Lin's requirements?" ”

Zhang Lin looked at the anxious Smith, and wanted to laugh in his heart, "Build a shipyard for me that can manufacture large surface ships, and I only have 20% of these three types of warships, how about it, can you consider it, Mr. Smith?" ”

Hearing Zhang Lin say this, Smith didn't agree, Zhang Lin should still have a lot of battleship drawings, and now Zhang Lin wants to build a shipyard It's already very straightforward, "Let me think about it for a few days, and then I'll give you an answer to Mr. Zhang Lin!" ”

"No problem, let's move on to the construction of Montana!" Zhang Lin is not in a hurry about this at all, Smith will definitely promise himself, and Zhang Lin is not surprised at all!
