Chapter Thirty-Eight: General-Class Battleships
Sun Hao kept explaining the distribution of world forces to this talented woman, and Wang Nangxian was shocked when he listened. I didn't expect www.biquge.info world to be so big, and there are countless powerful countries, and there are many countries that are bigger than the Qing Dynasty, especially the British Empire and the Kingdom of France, which have many colonies. There is also the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north of the Qing Dynasty, which has a much larger land area than the Qing Dynasty. He was born in the Qing Dynasty, and he used to be a self-righteous person who read poetry and books, and was erudite and learned, but now he knows that he is sitting in a well and watching the sky, and Yelang is arrogant.
After thinking for a while, Wang Nangxian said to Sun Hao: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, the little woman led a thousand sons and daughters to be like-minded, and I hope that the commander-in-chief will take it in!" ”
"No problem, Miss Wang is strong in martial arts and has peerless medical skills, and the commander hopes that Miss Wang can go to the military hospital to set up traditional Chinese medicine, and then recruit apprentices to teach skills."
After Wang Nangxian heard that Sun Hao had arranged such a position for him, he was very dissatisfied, plus the family medicine can be passed on inside and not outside, how can he teach and spread the disciples?
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the little girl's family has ancestral teachings, and medicine is passed on inside and outside, so it is difficult to follow!"
"Miss Wang, what is the purpose of your medical studies?"
"Of course, it is to practice medicine in the world and relieve the diseases of everyone in the world."
"Excellent! How many hands does Miss Wang have? ”
After Wang Nangxian heard this, he was very puzzled, Sun Hao was not stupid, right? A man only has two hands, he can't even know this, right?
"Two!"
"Hmmm! Are there many patients treated in the world by practicing medicine with two hands, or are there many patients treated with dozens of hands or hundreds of hands? Accepting apprentices will not only help you carry forward your family's medical heritage, but it will also make a name for yourself! Moreover, there are also a lot of medical skills in the commander's military hospital that are worth learning from Miss Wang, and Miss Wang will know after she goes to see it. ”
After Wang Nangxian heard this, he suddenly woke up, was his thinking too conservative? What Sun Hao said is very reasonable, how can a pair of hands be compared with hundreds or thousands of pairs of hands?
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the little woman agrees! It's just that I don't know what the little girl brought and how to arrange it. ”
"The commander will give them the land and let them take a few beautiful Indian wives, so that they can live here with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Sun!"
After Wang Nangxian left, Sun Hao felt that his navy had been training for three years, and he should let them come out and face the world.
The British's navy is constantly roaming the coastlines, which is simply a kind of provocation, and Sun Hao is very unhappy in his heart.
The shipyard has been relocated to Yangon by Sun Hao's order, and six large floating docks have been built.
Sun Hao traded countless iron pear wood and iron nan wood, with such a huge and hard tree as the iron pear tree, it would be much easier for Zhao Dahai to build a large ship, plus with a steam engine as a power and mechanized power as an auxiliary, it would be much faster to build a ship.
A few days later, Sun Hao came to the Yangon shipyard, and after Zhao Dahai saw Sun Hao coming, he happily handed Sun Hao the drawings of a new warship.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, with the iron pear wood root Tienan wood as a material, he designed a new type of warship, 136 meters long, 26 meters wide, 6.8 meters draft, propelled by two 12,000 horsepower steam engines, two masts on the deck as auxiliary power, the battleship is divided into six layers, staffed with 1,860 people, 36 75 mm caliber naval guns, 105 mm naval guns 40,
20 naval guns of 150 mm caliber and 12 guns of 260 mm caliber. The 260 mm caliber heavy gun was installed with two guns in the bow, two in the stern, and four on each side of the ship, with a displacement of 12,648 tons and a full load displacement tax of 15,425 tons. The construction period is one and a half years, and it is possible to start construction of 6 ships at the same time. Zhao Dahai took the drawings and said happily to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao took the drawings and saw that this battleship was no different from the warships of later generations, except that there were two more masts on the deck. The deck is designed according to its own ball, and the whole deck has a mast, which is the command compartment, and the rest is flat.
The battleship is divided into six layers, the design of the water compartment is quite reasonable, the wood plus the middle sandwich anti-shelling plastic together, the thickness of the armor is about 1.5 meters, and the use of double armor, the whole battleship out of the material is wood, the other Sun Hao is very satisfied. This battleship is much more beautiful than the treasure ship design of the Ming Dynasty, the whole battleship is completely streamlined design, not only beautiful appearance, the structure of the battleship is stronger, more suitable for naval battles and voyages.
Originally, Sun Hao wanted to build an ironclad battleship, but due to limited technology, he could not build an ironclad battleship at present, so he could only be in the process of exploration.
HOWEVER, WHEN SUN HAO SAW THAT 12 NAVAL GUNS WITH A CALIBER OF 260 MM WERE TO BE INSTALLED, COULD IT BE THAT THE 260MM CALIBER NAVAL GUNS HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED? It's not that fast, is it?
"Director Zhao, this commander sees that a 260 mm caliber naval gun is going to be installed on this battleship, has this naval gun been developed?"
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the artillery has not yet been fully developed, but it can almost be produced in half a load, so I plan to install 12 large-caliber naval guns on this battleship."
Sun Hao heard that it had not been manufactured yet, so he asked again: "Director Zhao, are we building warships and transport ships according to the assembly line production now?" ”
"Yes, since the commander-in-chief explained this advanced production method to the lowly position, after the lowly position has been experimented, he found that the construction speed has increased a lot."
Isn't that nonsense? In later generations, many products were produced according to the assembly line, if it is not fast, why are there so many assembly lines? Sun Hao thought to himself.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, what kind of name will this warship take after it is produced?" Zhao Dahai asked.
After Sun Hao thought about it, he originally wanted to take the Daming-class battleship, but the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and it didn't make any sense at all.
"Then call it a general-class battleship!" Sun Hao thought that after the successful construction of this battleship, it would be absolutely invincible, so he simply called it a general-level battleship.
General-level battleship, Zhao Dahai was overjoyed when he heard it, general, what a majesty that is!
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the humble post also designed a kind of cruiser, this war ship is 96 meters long, 19 meters wide, 5.8 meters draft, divided into five layers, mounted on the 75 mm caliber 26 naval guns, 105 caliber naval guns 32, 150 mm caliber naval guns 18, if more skilled craftsmen join, the humble post guarantees that a few ships can be built in a year."
Sun Hao took a look at the drawings, and after reading them, he nodded slightly, a strong fleet is obviously not enough to have powerful battleships, it must also be composed of cruisers, destroyers, gunboats, patrol ships, transport ships, etc. This cruiser was named the "Earth Shatter class" cruiser by Sun Hao.
After Zhao Dahai mentioned the craftsmen, Sun Hao thought of Wang Bo, and a few days later, Sun Hao traded with Wang Bo for more than 3,000 shipbuilding craftsmen. There are not many shipbuilders in the Wuji Continent, and the cost of exchanging shipbuilders with Wang Bo is getting bigger and bigger, so Sun Hao thinks that he must go to Nanyang. During the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Han people continued to come to Nanyang, and there were many islands in Nanyang, and I believe that some craftsmen who built ships could be found.
