In naval battles, the caliber of the main gun is larger, which is undoubtedly cheaper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Qin Tian Hope, Beta? Miss Krupp, and in the future other leaders of the Krupp company, could understand this and increase research on large-caliber guns, so that Germany could no longer be left behind by the British in this regard.

smashed the ability to create a time and space, and the German Navy undoubtedly suffered a lot in terms of the caliber of the main guns. 280 mm guns, 305 mm guns and 380 mm guns against the 305 mm guns, 343 mm guns and 381 mm guns of the British. Although, the excellent quality of the German * military industry made it possible for the German Navy to not fall behind even against the British with smaller caliber guns. This, coupled with the problem of artillery fuses in the British Navy, gave the German Navy an even greater advantage. But if the German Navy was not weaker than the British Navy in the first place, wouldn't it have a better chance of winning?

Now, Qin Tian undoubtedly hopes to promote the accelerated development of Germany's military industry with his own strength. So that Germany can have a better chance of winning in future wars.

"I hope Miss Krupp can follow her promise and speed up the development of large-caliber main guns!" After getting into the car on the return trip, Qin Tian couldn't help but think. Although Beta? Miss Krupp is a brilliant businesswoman, but she has always lacked courage. Unfortunately, Gustav has not yet joined the Krupp family. Or else, and Gustav? Krupp cooperates, and there will be a little less problem. As a leader capable of leading the Krupp military-industrial empire to new heights, Gustav? Krupp was undoubtedly more visionary.

Qin Tian gave Krupp two years to develop a new large-caliber main gun. The expansion of the Deutsche shipyard will not be completed until the second half of the year. At that time, the construction of the 'Nassau-class' battleships will begin. For a German shipyard that had never had experience in building battleships, two years should have almost been enough time to launch the 'Nassau-class' battleship. At that time, the large-caliber main gun developed by Krupp was just in time for outfitting.

An excellent battleship should achieve a balance of speed, firepower and defense. Too much emphasis on one aspect of performance will greatly reduce the performance of the battleship.

Both the armor and the main guns were handed over to the Krupp company, which made the problem of defense and firepower of the 'Nassau-class' battleships largely solved. As long as Krupp can fulfill its promise and not drop the chain at a critical time, there should be no problems.

Next, the remaining element is speed, which is directly determined by the battleship's power system.

The Nassau-class battleships designed by Qin Tian used a combination of oil-fired boilers and steam turbines. In this way, the power of the battleship can be maximized, so that the battleship has more power, faster speed, and longer range.

In terms of steam turbines, Qin Tian has already sent people to the United States to purchase the relevant technology of Chlutis steam turbines. Now, the steam turbine invented by Chlutis is not being taken seriously. This also made his company dismal. In the case of imminent bankruptcy, it is undoubtedly the best time to start. Faced with the purchase from Germany, Chlutis had no choice but to accept it.

As long as a full set of relevant technologies is obtained, and then German engineers are called to develop them, they will inevitably be able to develop more powerful steam turbines on this basis.

As for the oil-fired boiler, Qin Tian had to entrust the Sulzer Boiler Company, the largest boiler manufacturer for Germany's military warships, to conduct research and development. Oil-fired boilers are much more powerful than coal-fired boilers. On a battleship, it was also obviously easier to store fuel than coal.

Despite the lack of oil in Germany, German boilermakers also have technical reserves for oil-fired boilers. However, this is not quite suitable for Germany's national conditions. Therefore, almost all the boilers manufactured before were coal-fired boilers. After all, Germany's Ruhr region is rich in coal and needs to be imported from abroad, unlike oil. There is no need to worry about being stuck in the neck after the outbreak of war.

Qin Tian placed an order for 48 oil-fired boilers with Sulzer Boiler Company in one go, which greatly excited Sulzer Company. With 48 oil-fired boilers, the profit is not low. Even they need to invest in research and development on some key technologies. But this is nothing at all for Sulzer Boiler Company.

What's more, Qin Tian also assured that the 48 boilers were just the first batch of orders. In the future, Deutsche Shipyard will purchase more oil-fired boilers. Of course, Qin Tian also asked Sulzer Boiler to invest more money in research and development so that it can develop better performance boilers.

As the tonnage of the battleship increases, the armor will become thicker and the weight of the main guns will become heavier. In such cases, more powerful boilers and steam turbines are needed to drive them. Otherwise, the speed of the battleship will be seriously affected.

In actual combat, there will be a situation where you will not be able to catch up with the enemy ship, and at the same time, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the enemy ship, and this will be almost fatal.

Sulzer Boiler Company, for Qin Tian's request, naturally agreed, and they also hoped to reach a cooperation agreement with Deutsche Shipyard, a major customer. In this way, they can make a bigger profit.

At the end of January 1905, Qin Tian left Berlin and went to Augsburg in Bavaria. His purpose at this time was to find a tech master to join his new company.

That's right, Qin Tian is now planning to establish his own new company. The name has already been decided, and it will be called Deutsche Dongkki. The company's main products will be all kinds of engines, including automobile engines, steam turbines for warships, aircraft engines and diesel engines for submarines.

However, although the company has been registered, it has also begun to recruit people. But the new company lacked the technical masters who could control the scene. Qin Tian had no choice but to hit the idea on the father of the diesel engine, Diesel.

As the inventor of the diesel engine, Diesel was undoubtedly a genius. Because of his invention, mankind has been able to make a leap forward in the field of engines. If he can join Qin Tian's company, this will undoubtedly enable Qin Tian to achieve greater results in the field of diesel engines. The engine of the tank of the future, the engine on the submarine, will need to be played by a diesel engine.

Of course, Qin Tian also had a purpose, which was to save the genius Desel, so that he would not die prematurely.
