After several hours of sailing, according to the relay of the flag, Yang Yuanzhao, who was located in the third part, knew that the last ship group had also left the port of Hamburg, and 1.2 million tons of various types of equipment, as well as thousands of personnel, had already left Germany and headed for the unknown Far East.

At the feet of Yang Yuanzhao, it is the most comfortable 15,000-ton cruise ship, a huge cruise ship that is enough to accommodate thousands of people, not many people, except for following Yang Yuanzhao's assistant, it is the biggest few big names from the German side this time, it can be said that they represent the height of the future Qingdao shipyard.

More importantly, the battleship designer Fabian and his assistant, the team he led, participated in the design of the Nassau-class, and independently designed the third ship of the Nassau-class, the Rhine, and also participated in the design of the King-class and the initial verification of the Bavaria-class.

The arrival of such an expert, the German side can be said to be very sincere, the Nassau class, can be regarded as an important level, is Germany's first dreadnought, undertaking a huge mission against Britain, if it can not be manufactured in a short time, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the balance of strength between Britain and Germany, dreadnought, but the dreadnought is known as a dreadnought, other battleships under construction and in service, all outdated titles.

The Nassau class was a very good battleship, and after learning some British experience, it was very good overall, and even after a few years, it was still the capital ship, and one of them was designed independently, and it participated in the King and Bavarian classes. Regardless of the depth, at least. It should be an intuitive understanding of the battleship, and the professional knowledge should be quite in place. As long as the aircraft and equipment are sufficient, it should be able to help Qingdao obtain sufficient shipbuilding capacity.

In addition to Fabian, there is also a noteworthy thing that is the naval gun designer Linus and his team of assistants, who belong to the Krupp company and cannot be regarded as a cutting-edge, but also has an extremely solid foundation, 230 and 280 mm respectively. The design and finalization of the 305 mm gun has the widest span among many artillery experts, and he has even participated in the finalization of guns below 150 mm.

In addition to these two particularly powerful masters, there are also some designers who are additionally supported by Germany, including the submarine designer Vincent, and many independent designers, among the many lists. Yang Yuanzhao also saw another designer, Weiss? Freeman, speaking of him that no one knows, speaking of another person. Many people know one of the former king-level designers, the chief designer in charge of the power system, Weiss, is his own brother.

It is unlikely that one door will produce two talents. Weiss's level is a little worse than that of his brother. He was able to join the team and was sent to China by Germany. This also proves from the side that his strength, the most important thing is that he, like Weiss, is mainly in oil-fired boilers, and his past results are very good.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that in this era, it should be the dividing line between coal-fired boilers and oil-fired boilers, it can be said unceremoniously that oil-fired boilers are completely deflagrated in all aspects of their performance, whether it is from the starting speed, the highest power, overload power, or from the overall horsepower, it is a great improvement, British battleships, has begun to over-burn from coal to oil, but Germany's strength, but because it is relatively backward in this regard, it has not changed to the king level.

At the beginning of the design of the king class, I thought of using diesel units, but in the end it was a coal-fired boiler, not a mixture of coal and fuel oil, and the biggest difference between fuel oil and coal was that the problem of combustion temperature must be solved before it could be finally generated.

At this point, for Yang Yuanzhao, there is no problem, because in the all-in-one machine, there are too many, excellent performance and high temperature resistant things, from the British ship, he has obtained a lot of receipts, the most important of which is this oil-fired boiler, several grades, several batches of oil-fired units, Yang Yuanzhao has a backup here, and the real thing can also be taken out lightly, with his vision and professionalism, it is easy to find out the problem......

In the first few days of departure, Yang Yuanzhao stayed in the hotel, did not go anywhere, focused on the study of the power system, according to his plan, reasonable match of 36 oil-fired boilers and 4 steam turbines, the total horsepower of the power system, may reach an astonishing 100,000 horsepower, this is not delusional, it is really saved, not that Yang Yuanzhao does not want to be higher, 36 boilers can reach 150,000 horsepower under the limit, which is the highest in the science and technology of World War I, can be improved, But the amplitude will not be too large.

What really restricts the total number of horsepower, only 100,000 horsepower, not 150,000 horsepower is the steam turbine, the largest steam turbine in the Northwest at present. It's just 25,000 horsepower, 4 are tied together, only a full 100,000 horsepower, on the steam turbine, some of them are holding back, which is not only for the northwest, but also for other countries, the lack of steam turbines is the fundamental reason why the horsepower of most of the battleships during World War I is not much different, few more than 100,000 horsepower, most of the steam turbines, are between 20,000-20,000, 4 more than 80,000 are terrible.

When the ship completely left the Elbe River, entered the North Sea, and then headed directly south to the Strait of Gibraltar, Yang Yuanzhao took the initiative to go to Fabian and Harvey's room with a stack of papers.

What Yang Yuanzhao is holding in his hand is the power system he has carefully prepared, for a warship, how to design it is reasonable, he doesn't know, even if there is an all-in-one machine, even if there is a scoring system, he can't start, because he is not familiar with shipbuilding, let alone how to design, but Fabian knows.

For warships, there are many important things, one thing Yang Yuanzhao knows very well, power is very important for a warship, any indicators are their own projects, it is difficult for a single item to affect other projects, but the power is not the same, for a warship, the most fundamental, and the most necessary to solve, is the power of the battleship.

Under the premise of strong power, the design of a qiē can be at ease, and a strong power is the root of a qiē, Yang Yuanzhao's power system exceeds the future Queen Elizabeth class 75,000 horsepower, and more than the Bavarian level of 32,000 horsepower, even equivalent to 3 Bavaria and, reached an astonishing 100,000 horsepower, Yang Yuanzhao, who has an all-in-one machine and the insights of later generations, can make such a huge power unit, the entire volume and weight, will not be higher than the Queen Elizabeth class.

According to the final result, the volume of this power unit is only about 83% of the Queen Elizabeth class, and in terms of weight, due to the new materials, enhanced heat resistance and pressure resistance, the entire power unit is even 34% lighter than the Queen Elizabeth class.

On the ship, the tonnage of each ton is extremely important, after determining the basic form, the designers often need countless times to reduce the weight of that tonn, it is in such countless times of excellence and progress, the tonnage of the battleship is gradually reasonable. More horsepower, but only less weight, and smaller volume, which is quite excellent for a battleship, it is important to design the necessary parts, and a classic battleship is born.

In the aspect where Fabian was, Yang Yuanzhao saw the two of them, both of them were a little dazed, they didn't know why Yang Yuanzhao came to them, where they were sitting and waiting, Yang Yuanzhao called Fabian and Harvey together, and showed them the schematic diagram and performance indicators of the power system in their hands.

The two people who didn't know why subconsciously took over the drawing, especially Fabian, scanned the drawing with a little carelessness, and when he saw the number below, Fabian laughed almost instantly.

"Mr. Yang, who is so boring to bring such a fantasy thing in front of you, what are you doing with it, won't you let me help you design a battleship?"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, Fabian laughed directly, and Yang Yuanzhao, who didn't care about Yang Yuanzhao's face, laughed loudly: "Is this a joke?" ”

"Mr. Yang, is this of yours imaginary?" Not only did Fabian say this, but Harvey also said......

This made Yang Yuanzhao a little unbearable, and wanted to come up with a full set of drawings, which was obviously only able to come out of the Northwest, but it was considered a fantasy by these two, and finally endured it, at this time, these things that exceeded this era were taken out, which was not very suitable, thought for a while, and said: "What if I let you design according to this?" ”

"According to this design, is this an assessment, Mr. Yang?" Fabian was stunned for a moment, and replied a little bluntly, as a designer, especially the designer of battleships, his status in the Admiralty is still a little bit, he is very clear about Yang Yuanzhao's status, and when he went to China, he also received a double explanation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Admiralty, no matter what, Yang Yuanzhao, who must be respected, has a good relationship with Yang Yuanzhao as much as possible, as long as it is not a slightly excessive condition, he must be satisfied.

"If you think so, that's an assessment?"

As soon as Yang Yuanzhao's words fell, Fabian's face immediately turned red, staring at Yang Yuanzhao, Harvey next to him, afraid that he would fight, fortunately, in the end, Fabian stabilized his mentality, and said with an angry smile: "Since you ask for this, no problem, I'll do the design for you, the design of the battleship!"
