Chapter 503: Whirlwind Battleship

Ling Feng, Minister of Industry, recorded what Chen Zhong said about his plans for West Asian Oil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Please search! The fastest updated novel

In Ling Feng, he really admires Chen Zhong, the emperor of today's Chinese Empire.

In their eyes, the reason why great people like Emperor Chen Zhong are more capable than ordinary people is because he has more advanced thinking and vision than ordinary people.

The enemy hated Ke Yuan Cool, and then hated Yang Mo

Ling Feng knows that energy must be the focus of competition among countries in the future, and his judgment on West Asian oil storage is so accurate, this strategy is definitely a far-sighted and wise move.

After the meeting, Ling Feng separately reported to Chen Zhong on the recent development of various systems in China.

The enemy is not a ghost and the enemy is the monthly commander of the war department

If the ship is produced in the same shipyard, then the advantages of each shipyard will be limited, which will greatly increase the cost.

Chen Zhong handed him a few drawings of giant battleships, and Ling Feng was surprised by the drawings of these giant battleships in front of him, which was a technical category that was simply unattainable in the world today.

However, every time Chen Zhong surprises them, domestic scientists are extremely amazed. When some people bring it up, they get a one-sentence answer that says "Top Secret." ”

Therefore, Ling Feng has always believed that behind Chen Zhong there are a large number of top thinkers, who are making unremitting efforts for the strength of the Chinese Empire.

Chen Zhong said: "Minister Ling, in the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, you have worked very hard, but everything is waiting for us to sort out and develop!" If our Chinese empire wants to rise rapidly among the world's great powers, it must now take a few steps.

I believe that the establishment of the Chinese Empire has touched the interests of the world powers, and they will not rest on their laurels.

What are we going to do? This is an extremely serious and urgent issue before us. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we have to hold our teeth and stand up. ”

Ling Feng nodded and said, "The emperor is the hardest!" ”

Chen Zhong continued: "Minister Ling, these drawings I have given you this time are all blueprints for a new round of upgrades for giant battleships.

Our fleet needs to be further upgraded, and the combat performance of warships must be the most critical part of fleet upgrades.

Only with solid warships and weapons systems that can kill a lot of people can such a fleet have an advantage in future naval battles.

I have an idea, after several years of hard work, our shipyard has matured, and we can produce some mid-tonnage warships for sale abroad.

After this money is returned, we can put it back into production, so that our shipyards can continue to build more advanced warships, so that our funds will be more abundant because of this transformation. ”

Ling Feng said: "Your Majesty, this decision is very wise, such a transformation can not only allow our various supporting shipyards to make money all year round, but also obtain more shipbuilding funds to invest in the development of new products."

In addition, the drawings of the ten 'Whirlwind-class' battleships we are currently building for the East China Sea Fleet are still being revised, and we are currently considering how to reduce the excess weight for the main part of the ship.

For a giant ship made of steel, even a small design can make a big difference in the weight of the entire hull.

After data analysis, if this part of the hull is reduced, it will have a certain impact on the balance of the ship, so how to solve the problem of the balance of the hull in the process of design and construction of the warship has become the key now.

In response to this problem, a number of ship design experts have done many experiments, but they are still not satisfied.

Now, the drawings given by the emperor have solved this problem.

On this drawing, for the total design weight of the "Whirlwind-class" ships, the design is close to perfect.

In this way, after such a weight-reducing design, this part can carry the same weight of ammunition and crude oil.

After such a refit, the "Whirlwind-class" warships will greatly increase the continuous combat capability of the entire ship with sufficient ammunition, and at the same time, due to the increase in crude oil reserves, the endurance of the warship will be increased.

It turned out that the warships ordered from Britain and Germany, the steel plates of the armor were already thick enough to fully withstand artillery fire from enemy ships.

The enemy is a lone enemy, and he hates Moyang, and he is not lonely

Therefore, the design on this drawing is indeed very reasonable, and it is very suitable for warfare by increasing the reduced weight to endurance and sustained combat capability.

After the minister returned, he immediately sent this drawing to the shipyard and asked them to rectify it immediately. This may take some time, but it will not delay the delivery time given to the East China Sea Fleet. ”

After Ling Feng left Beijing, he personally rushed to the Tianjin shipyard and convened a meeting of more than a dozen ship experts from the shipyard.

For this drawing given by Chen Zhong, further calculations and verifications were carried out.

These experts had a detailed understanding of the overall drawings and construction techniques of the "Cyclone Class" improvements. Combined with the experience of shipbuilding, the accurate data was basically calculated in more than ten days, and it can be put into production.

The improved "Whirlwind-class" battleships can not only improve the combat capability and endurance of warships, but also greatly save costs in mass production.

Feud is not not a ghost after the ball by the Cold War alone

With Chen Zhong's approval, it was originally planned to start building ten "Whirlwind-class" battleships at one time.

Now double the volume, so that their production load is more than enough.

Finally, Chen Zhong instructed that the number of "Whirlwind-class" battleships put into production this time increased by 19.

If it is produced in the same shipyard, then the advantages of each shipyard will be limited, which will greatly increase the cost.

Therefore, Chen Zhong instructed the Ministry of Industry to carry out a number of shipyards throughout the country to support the use of the method, so that some of the limitations of the shipyard can be avoided, and some of the more commonly used workers are transferred and mobilized, and materials are also very convenient.

This 60,000-ton "Whirlwind-class" battleship is a warship unique to the Chinese Empire. It is also the largest battleship in the world.

Because, this kind of super-large tonnage battleship, Chen Zhong ordered Ling Feng to prepare it a year ago.

In addition to the construction of a 60,000-ton dock in Dalian Lushun, large-tonnage docks in Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places are also being installed.

With a warship of about 30,000 tons, Chen Zhong ordered them to build it directly according to the British Orion battleship. As for these battleships below 30,000 tons, they have been produced at shipyards in Hainan.

Chen Zhong told Ling Feng that this part of the warships below 30,000 tons can be produced and sold.

An arms race at sea is going on in Europe, and Britain and Germany have entered a state of white heat.

Chen Zhong believes that these 30,000-ton "Orion-class" battleships are absolutely attractive to Germany.

Chen has a more far-reaching idea, if Germany is willing to be interested in this and cooperate with each other.

Then, Chen Zhong used the investment in Germany's railways in West Asia as a condition in exchange for selling this 30,000-ton battleship to Germany.

In this way, Chen's West Asian oil plan will open a window.
