"Perfect, what should this battleship be named after?" The three designers, I don't know, how long has it been, only Yang Yuanzhao knows, 12 days have passed, in the past 12 days, they have almost gone all out into it, eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet, all in this room, almost with all their might, put on this battleship.

"Since it's a fantasy, it's better to call it fantasy!" Linus then said, the combat effectiveness of this battleship, conservative estimates, is at least equivalent to 3 king-class, or even higher, the artillery that we know now, even the 15-inch 50-caliber gun above him, cannot penetrate his armor, it is too thick, equivalent to 24-inch protection of homogeneous armor, that is, 610 mm, this is a steel plate, not an iron plate, even if it is an iron plate, an iron plate with a thickness of 61 cm, it is not something that can be broken casually, let alone steel that is much harder than iron.

"If you really want to get this armor, I doubt that within 20 years, there will be no artillery that can penetrate him, 22-inch artillery, it is estimated that it will be extremely difficult!"

Linus is an artillery expert, he knows very well that the caliber of the artillery is not as fast as the increase in the thickness of the protection, when it reaches 15 inches and 16 inches, the too large caliber will make the power of the artillery begin to weaken, not a larger caliber, the power is strong, and the increase in the weight of the shells brought by the huge caliber will raise higher requirements for the materials of the artillery.

Yang Yuanzhao is very aware of this, and the artillery of later generations has not continued to improve on this basis. In turn, it began to increase the power of the artillery itself, and various models of armor-piercing shells appeared. Let the power of artillery of the same caliber be greatly improved. The 15-inch guns of this era, which may not have later generations, are equipped with advanced fire control systems, and the 150-mm guns with increased firing range are powerful, with a range of about 40 kilometers at every turn, and artillery equipped with depleted uranium armor-piercing shells or special shells, which can easily penetrate most of the current battleships.

It's a pity that Yang Yuanzhao is not an arms expert. Even armor-piercing bullets, I only know a little theory, that is, the principle of the nail gun of later generations, with a high-hardness core, under the high-speed propulsion, to produce a huge armor-piercing effect, and send the powerful explosives to the back of the armor.

For the Northwest, the material has. The all-in-one machine can provide more materials, and artillery is also available, but there are few specialized artillery experts, which restricts the development of the northwest. Thinking of this, Yang Yuanzhao's eyes were a little different when he looked at Linus, which made Linas's heart furious.

Perfect drawings. Fabian couldn't help but sigh in the end, this drawing can be said to have concentrated the three of them. Almost all the imagination, both the motivation. The overall design, plus the artillery, has reached the extreme, but unfortunately they all know that the power, perhaps able to pass the boiler on the British side, barely reached, the total weight and volume, is definitely exceeded, not to mention the cannon, such a material, than the existing material, at least twice as high, this is not 10 years to solve, even the ability to integrate, those internal, do not use willow joints, with paste connection, is even more unheard of, let alone Removing the torpedo tube, although it will make it faster, is equivalent to reducing a powerful weapon, which should be some kind of weakening.

"Eat something, take a break, I'm going out for something!" Yang Yuanzhao took the drawings, left the room, returned to his cabin, and almost instantly, got the drawings into the all-in-one machine for verification.

The verification system of the all-in-one machine,It will never deceive people,It always stands on the most fair position,Sure enough,In terms of firepower,Compared with the all-in-one machine before,Increased by about 27%,On the one hand, it is to add a double battery,From the original 4 twin batteries,Increased to 5,It is equivalent to the number of artillery increased by about 25% compared with before,Although the increase in the number is not equal to the increase in the overall artillery power,But the overall attack power has increased a lot。

On the other hand, in the original design, Fabian used a 15-inch gun with a caliber of 47 times, and the difference between 47 times and 52 times the caliber and 5 times the difference will bring about a huge difference in muzzle velocity and the power of the gun, especially in terms of range, from about 28 kilometers to 38 kilometers, a full increase of 11 kilometers.

In this era, there is no so-called radar, and optical ranging methods are still being used, to put it bluntly, in combat, the range of 38 kilometers is unlikely to be used, or even more than 20 kilometers, it is no longer counted, everyone is an anti-aircraft gun to fight flies, and the fish are fried a little more than the ship. The scoring system of the all-in-one machine does not consider practicality, and this project is in the all-in-one machine, but it has been greatly improved, and the overall performance has been increased by about 10%.

The battleship is a very offensive weapon, and the increase in attack power has brought about a very high overall improvement, an increase of about 19 points, so that the rating of the battleship is almost 330 points.

In terms of power, because both sides have made treatments, especially the integration of the plumbing project and the entire battleship, relative to the length, the width has been reduced a little in proportion, the shape is more in line with the fluid lì, and the speed has been slightly improved, 27.7 knots, the maximum speed has increased by 0.5 knots, and the score has not increased much, about 5 points, which is the least overall improvement among the three major systems.

Another crucial aspect, in terms of protection capabilities, has improved even more, which is fully double the previous standard, and the protective armor is equivalent to 24 inches of homogeneous armor, and adheres to the comprehensive protection of Germany, especially the bevel angle and surface treatment, for the ejection of artillery shells, it is simply an offensive and defensive one.

The improvement of power, weapons and the whole ship still makes this powerful battleship reach a terrible 347 points, which is almost a notch higher than the previous 295 points, in the rating system of the all-in-one machine, not only all the ratings, but also the comprehensive information of this one that is temporarily named the fantasy-class battleship.

Normal displacement: 41340 tons / Full load displacement: 46540 tons. Dimensions: Length 257 m / Width 29.5 m / Draught 10.2 m. Power: 36 boilers, main engine power 126,000 horsepower, 4-shaft drive. Speed: 27.7 knots, endurance: 10,700 nautical miles / 12.5 knots. Armament: 10 twin 15-inch/50-caliber main guns, 12 6-inch/50-caliber secondary guns, armor: 16-inch side armor belt (maximum), 6-5 inches on main deck, turret (front) 16 inches, (top) 8 inches, gun mount 15 inches, command tower 17 inches. The total weight of the armor is 10800 tons.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't know that the battleship he made was no longer the standard of World War I, if it weren't for the restrictions in some aspects, he almost surpassed the Hood class, reaching the Cheng dù of the main battleships in the early stage of World War II, and even the protection Cheng dù, and surpassing a large number of battleships in the early stage of World War II, because of the influence of the treaty on limiting naval armaments, in the early days of World War II, most of the main battleships were treaty ships, even if it was 20 years of development, it may not be as strong as this battleship.

In this era when the battle patrol can run up to 27 knots, such a steel beast is simply a nightmare for all war cruisers, and the ultra-long economic speed is enough for battleships to be able to undertake most of the battleship-breaking operations.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao is also considering whether to install air defense, or reserve space for future airing, but no matter how you think about it, the aircraft during World War I, or the original state, this behemoth of more than 45,000 tons, joined the German concept, under the premise of stronger sinking resistance, not to mention World War I, torpedo planes and horizontal bombers in the early days of World War II, may not be able to send it to the water.

The materials obtained by the all-in-one machine that exceed this era, coupled with the imagination of both sides, are extremely perfect combinations, not only the amazement of Harvey and Linus, but also Fabian could not have imagined that it was so perfect.

Different from Fabian and others, I think it is a fantasy, Yang Yuanzhao is like a treasure, this drawing has been verified by the all-in-one machine, the score is quite high, speed, firepower, and protection, to achieve a perfect balance, Fabian and others look at it is impossible to manufacture, Yang Yuanzhao is confident that in the present, or even in the future, this future is not 10 years, or even 20 years, at most 2 years, some unsolved problems can be solved, and even the next can start to build the hull.

The only pity is that this tonnage has been 40,000 tons, and Baotou has only prepared two 50,000-ton docks, that is to say, at most two ships can be started at the same time, instead of the most economical 4, or 8, so that the cost of a single ship will be greatly increased on the basis of the existing one.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao is poor and only has money left, and in the future, a 50,000-ton dock, or even a 70,000-ton dock, will be rolled out in the land of China, as long as this warship is not outdated, after a small refit in the future, it will inevitably be built in large quantities.

After a period of fatigue, including Yang Yuanzhao was a little tired, after a day of rest, refreshed, Yang Yuanzhao found Fabian again, his purpose was nothing else, that is, to formally send them an invitation, officially this fantasy-class battleship building plan, although it is still floating on the sea, there is still a month to return to Qingdao, but the preliminary preparations must be rolled out, which is also the most time-saving method.
