The question raised by Qin Kai is naturally extremely difficult, a distance of 15ooo meters, even in clear weather, the general outline of the target can be roughly seen on the mid-mast lookout post, and in naval combat, the theoretical farthest visual distance is about 22ooo meters, and at this limit distance, in fact, only the mast of the ship is seen!

The most direct factor affecting naval gunnery is undoubtedly the accuracy of the rangefinder, the new FA94S rangefinder, the magnification of the optical amplification component has been increased to 26 times that of this era, with the help of a high-precision ranging baseline of 1o meters, it has theoretically been able to achieve a distance of 15ooo meters!

But this is only a theoretical number, especially in the rapidly changing sea of the combat environment......

Huang Chao obviously also felt the thorniness of this problem, as a technical officer of the Beihai Precision Machinery Factory, he was one of the founders of the Rafale shooting command instrument, and in the past few years, he has been concentrating on the study and improvement of this shooting command system, that is, based on the great research enthusiasm of the mechanical shooting command instrument, and also the understanding of the technical ability of the Beihai precision machinery industry, he has the confidence to talk about it here......

He immediately replied with great certainty: "Prime Minister, the Type 96 Rafale mechanical fire control installed on the Tiankui is theoretically feasible to achieve a long-range strike at a distance of 15ooo meters, and when the Tiankui carried out a counter-shore strike on January 17, it achieved a successful strike on the counter-shore target after 4 rounds of salvo fires, but ...... With the high maneuverability of the warships of both sides, it takes 19.2 seconds for the shell to fly 15ooo meters to accurately hit the target. Excellent experience with shooting commanders is required...... And a lot of luck! ”

Hear this stocky man's very incisive and pertinent answer. This made Qin Kai also quite satisfied. Today's British, building the lessons of the Sino-British naval battle, have adjusted the original naval training distance of 4ooo meters to 7ooo meters, while in contrast, the Germans have obviously been quite reluctant to try the possibility of operations above 8ooo meters because of their more contact with the Chinese navy.

However, because the ranging equipment developed by the German side on the basis of the transferred technology is obviously still in its infancy, and the firing commander has no clue. At present, it is still at the stage of imitating the Type 87 Typhoon shooting commander, and with the accuracy of the Type 88 Typhoon Social Commander, combined with the German-made 21omm shooting firepower, at six or seven thousand meters, it has been completely able to suppress the firepower of the British Navy, and their problem is obviously how to penetrate the iron turtle shell of the British battleship at such a distance......

However, this is not something that Qin Kai wants to consider for the Germans, and he is also sure that the Germans are technical and confidential. Something will definitely come out that will shock Europe!

He is even more pleased that the entire medium and first-class industry. It is based on the solid foundation of Nanyang Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. to thrive, and after a lapse of more than a year, the Northern Fleet has quickly taken over the 2 types of new battleships and battle cruisers, in fact, although the four battleships are only two ranks, but they are assigned to Beihai, Mawei, Huangpu, Jiangnan four major factories to build respectively.

The construction of warships representing the highest level of the Chinese Navy in this era is naturally enough to inspire the factories and real offices to invest the greatest enthusiasm in the warships...... Huang Chao represents the Beihai Precision Machinery Factory, and he is responsible for the continuous improvement of the self-developed Rafale series shooting command instrument.

The Qin-class battle cruiser Tiankui has excellent maneuverability and endurance, especially after being equipped with a 13.5-inch main gun, in addition to being unable to compete with the battleship in armor, it has already had an amazing improvement in combat power, 65o kg of heavy shells and 8oo m/s in front of the discharge, even the best Krupp armor in Europe today is facing a huge challenge.

With the rapid increase of domestic heavy industry production capacity, the design of today's Qin-class battlecruisers has completely crossed the theoretical framework of European and American battleships in this era, and learned from the improvement of naval submarine technology, and the large-scale closed watertight compartment technology has been applied to the design of battleships and more fragile battlecruisers!

The Qin-class battlecruiser has a total length of 128 meters, and the overall layout has fully reflected the slender hull shape of the dreadnought era, although only 3 twin 13.5-inch giant guns are installed, but as a design concept used to suppress the prevailing cruisers in this era in Europe, the navy senior brass have already exclaimed - this is completely a bastard design of cannons to fight mosquitoes.

The Rurik, which Maozi designed to deter the British, was only equipped with a 9-inch main gun, and the fully reequipped K88 carburized armored Qin-class battlecruiser confronted the Rurik, and the Rurik's 12 15omm secondary guns were completely pure furnishings at that time, and there was only one result, that is, it was completely crushed.

At present, the only British-made Vulcan battlecruiser that is the leading concept in Europe, judging from the design number, the Vulcan installed 4 12-inch main guns and 4 21omm main guns, against the German Emperor-class battlecruisers may still have a bit of a caliber advantage, but in front of the Qin-class battlecruisers, the caliber and number of main guns have been lost, not to mention, the 96-type Rafale mechanical fire control and the Chinese Navy's huge advantage in combat experience.

At this moment, these senior admirals present are obviously thinking about the same problem - when the distance of the battle and the degree of the battleship continue to increase, in the future, if you want to crush the enemy in the previous several sea battles, you obviously need a more unimaginable technological lead!

Lu Han on the side obviously has high hopes for the Beihai Shipyard, and the Huang Dynasty does show enough ability and strength, in the design and transformation of the command system of the fire control of the Wind series and the Tiankui battle patrol, a lot of new instrument synchronization technology has been innovated, which naturally benefits from the technical accumulation behind the Beihai Shipyard.

At this moment, hearing that Huang Chao had obviously encountered a problem that was difficult to bypass, he immediately opened his mouth and asked: "Major Huang, in the battle above 10,000 meters, have you made any new technological breakthroughs in the sea trials for more than half a year?" ”

The Huang Dynasty naturally understands the weight of these big men here today, which are all important tasks in today's military circles, and the purpose of their concern is obviously very simple, that is, to constantly maintain the technological leadership of the Chinese Navy...... But, for that matter, he and his colleagues in the Navy Heavy Industry are indeed Alexander!

He thought about the wording for a moment, and then replied: "General, to improve the shelling hit at a distance of 12ooo-15ooo meters, our current Rafale fire control system, equipped with a 26 times optical rangefinder, the current observation efficiency is not high, so it is difficult to meet the requirements of long-distance artillery at this point, let alone in high-paced operations!" ”

Lu Han was obviously not very satisfied with this answer, "Then what do you Beihai Precision Machinery have in mind about this?" Or is it the direction of improvement? ”

"Optics with higher magnification! We are experimenting with dual and triple wide-angle rangefinders, which can achieve higher ranging accuracy! It is also possible to ...... Improve the accuracy of the Beidou mechanical calculation clock and get a shorter calculation output time! This effectively improves the hit rate of the fire control output! Huang Chao immediately said two core technical improvement plans, as a senior expert in this field, this field has already made him devote himself to it, and even has a strong desire to explore.

"How much improvement in shooting accuracy can such an investment produce? Can we continue to maintain our distance advantage over European maritime power? Lu Han obviously had great expectations for this, and continued to ask questions reluctantly.

"This ...... It is difficult to determine before it is installed on a battleship for sea trials! Huang Chao's black face also turned a little red because he was constantly thinking about the new problems in front of him!

Qin Kai is obviously quite admired for this technical dedication, it can be said that the naval fire control system from the original rangefinder to today's self-contained system, he is obviously secretly contributing to the troubles, but after he enters Beijing, he has few opportunities to pay special attention to this field...... However, the entire Nanyang Heavy Industry has obviously formed a very satisfactory technical research atmosphere, and the research in the field of naval heavy equipment and fire control system can be described as gratifying.

The Northern Fleet plays the role of a testing ground for all kinds of new technologies of the Navy, and the effect of the establishment of the Northern Fleet in China is even more prominent under the centralized power.

He was obviously very interested in continuing to listen to Lü Han's various questions about maintaining the sustained leadership of the navy, but this was not the most important reason why he had come to the Northern Fleet on purpose, and he quickly ended Lü Han's constant questions to the Huang Dynasty in a very amicable manner......

He turned his head and looked at Tang Qingshan, who was eye-browing with Xu Shoushan, these two goods are really good engine oil, "Qingshan, I heard that the Alpha Calculation Clock and Fire Control System provided by the Mawei Real Yàn Room are very bad?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Qingshan immediately put down his good engine oil and turned to Sun Ping, the captain of the Han-class battleship Chang'an on the side, "Old Sun, you can talk about this matter, I have been completely out of temper by this Alpha comprehensive fire control, anyway, it's just a three-word - it's not good!" ”

Sun Ping on the side is also an old man in Mawei, and he obviously has deep feelings for Mawei Shipbuilding, but when it comes to the joint research of the Mawei Real Yàn Room and the Mawei Shipyard on the Alpha Calculation Clock and Fire Control System this time, his expression is no different from Tang Qingshan's, and he also looks like he hates iron but not steel!

"Prime Minister, how can we have such a failure in Mawei, if we use this fire control to fight, I would rather go to the lookout post to measure the range, with our artillery skills, it is more accurate than such a big iron bump!" (To be continued......)
