The industrial drawings of the battleship, this is a systematic project, it is impossible to be completed by a few people, even if the overall design has come out, involving shipbuilding, there are many things that need to be considered, from the difficulty of construction, the process of construction, until the date of completion, there is no need for strict control, a battleship, representing the world's most high-end marine weapons, can not be from the beginning, everything is piled up there, it is impossible to speed up, a large number of things are piled together to affect each other, the speed can not be raised, The most important thing is that a naval gun, if it takes a year to really throw it there, has long been rusted.

A battleship, like a precision clock, every gear, every part, perfectly formed a whole, on this fantasy class, the most advanced power plant of this era was added, and the welding process was introduced.

For the sake of safety, but also for the overall strength, the shell did not choose to use the welding process, or willow joint, but the internal structure, compartment and watertight cabin these places, all use the welding process, so that even the most edge, the narrowest place, as long as you can get in, the welding can continue, this completely broke the previous steps, you know, the previous battleship, is the same method of building blocks, layer by layer construction, each layer has a unique process, can not be wrong, let alone messy, In this way, the overall structure can be guaranteed to be complete and the fastest speed.

Fabian and the other three didn't know much about the welding process, but Yang Yuanzhao's simple narration shocked them, as long as they used willow connections to open up several levels of battleships, and the rest would be handed over to them. The interior decoration and the installation of various departments can be carried out almost simultaneously.

What is the method. The previous processing of battleships, it is not that I did not think about this. But in this way, the whole will be messed up, and each layer of parts will not be able to complete the willow joint, which will affect the internal structure, but Yang Yuanzhao didn't care at all, and directly ordered them to follow this, this is a brand new thing, and there are too many steps that need to be calculated.

Of course, Fabian felt it sensitively. The advanced nature of this ship-building method, the shell is probably about one-fifth of the entire battleship construction, plus the laying of the keel and skeleton, it will not exceed one-third, and the rest of the functional compartments, various systems, the laying of lines, the power system plus the installation of naval guns, this is the big head. It will also take about a year to complete the shell and power, and launch it for sea trials, through guò sea trials and a large number of equipment installation. to be able to truly enter active duty.

If this method can really be implemented, two-thirds of the entire battleship can be worked three times. Even five times as long as it was completed, and the time it took to build a battleship was significantly reduced. It may be reduced from the current two years to one year and two months. Even 1 year, this is equivalent to increasing the shipbuilding capacity from another level, and the utilization rate of the minimum dock will be increased by about 50% or even 70%, which brings several times the efficiency increase.

The new method is good, there are still problems, Fabian almost directly explained, the new process requires too much calculation, even the three of them, plus all the assistants in the entire cruise ship, can not complete the entire calculation work, even if a large number of people from Germany are enriched, it will take 1 year or more.

Fabian almost impassionedly recounted his views, but he didn't expect that Yang Yuanzhao's face was calm, how much effect welding has on shipbuilding, as early as Shanghai, when it was real, it was already clear that welding can make the wide hull start processing from miniaturization, avoiding the heaviness of willow jointing, and it can also be processed in many aspects and multiple processes, but unfortunately welding is only carried out to a small ship of about 1,000 tons, and it is an unreachable distance from a giant ship of 10,000 tons, not to mention that it is more than 40,000 tons. Super huge guy.

Can only settle for the second, the shell is still connected with willow, and then the boundary is divided into different levels, the overall steel plate willow joint, the battleship is divided into different levels, and then according to the design, the small cabin and the functional cabin are processed, the northwest is not only welding, but also oxygen cutting, for the processing of steel, only unexpected, no can not do, so that according to the function, define different cabins, speed up the construction progress.

From the time to the present, time is always the most lacking in Yang Yuanzhao, the industrialization of the northwest has created a miracle, but for China, for the northwest, time is still too little, he almost raced against time, finally, it took 4 years to build an unimaginable industrial zone, improve the construction of the Northwest Army and the selection of military service and military academy construction, and now it is above the navy, in order to have a long coastline of China, have enough security, in order to open up the territory in the future, China, must have a navy.

Fabian and the other three people, he attaches great importance to it, this fantasy class, but also concentrated all the achievements of the northwest and a full set of drawings obtained from the British and Germans, the basis is still Fabian, but the kernel is already very different, Fabian mentioned the problem he also thought about, and also prepared a mathematical calculator to solve the problem.

This thing is still a gift he brought from later generations, as an engine engineer, a lot of design and modification, need to use a lot of mathematical formulas, this one is not the most powerful, but the most comprehensive, which contains a lot of unpopular mathematical formulas, in terms of performance, I am afraid that it is not as good as the 70-80s, the most ordinary small or medium-sized machine, but no matter what, it is a VLSI circuit, the calculation speed is also amazing, used until 1912, Owning a battleship is definitely a knife to kill.

"Mr. Fabian, you can watch this!" Yang Yuanzhao led Fabian to this calculator, and in the case of the shell treatment, many keys are listed separately, and it should be more intuitive and convenient to use it.

Mathematics is a universal language, but also one of the foundations of modern science and technology, every designer, has dabbled in a lot of mathematics, especially the battleship designer, many things have to use mathematical theory and mechanical principles, and there are many things that need to be calculated.

"What is this?" Fabian was stunned for a moment, he saw a lot of mathematical symbols on it, but watching Yang Yuanzhao press on the symbols, in a window that looks like a mirror, you can see numbers and formulas, all appear in the position of the window, a complex calculus mathematical equation is listed in a few seconds, in fact, this is a magnifying glass, you can directly see the internal computer screen, more intuitive.

After the complicated equation was listed, Yang Yuanzhao pressed the confirmation button. Soon, the results were revealed, almost only for a moment, even Fabian, who had never seen this thing, understood that this is a kind of calculation machine, is there such a machine?

Mechanical calculators, this thing Fabian has seen, there are two in the calculation room of the Admiralty, he has become one of the treasures of the Admiralty with a calculation method that far exceeds the human brain, and undertakes a large number of calculation tasks every day, many details of artillery and battleships, are solved by it, but he is more complicated, often for a period of time, only one algorithm can be carried out, after retrieval, there is a certain error rate, which must be verified, which has greatly increased the efficiency of calculation, so that the research process is accelerated.

The one in front of me, just this calculation formula, contains more than 10 different function calculations, which seems extremely complicated, but it is only a moment, and the calculation process is completed, what does this mean, the new process and the new battleship are not a problem with the calculation.

Fabian's surprise attracted the attention of the other two people, Harvey's power aspect, Linus's artillery aspect, the design is more math, they also gathered around, looking at this strange computer with interest, they had never heard of such a thing, how high is its calculation principle and efficiency?

About the computer, it is already the limit to be able to take it out and use it, which is related to the core problem of Yang Yuanzhao, he is impossible to explain too clearly, and he can't explain it clearly, Fabian and others did not get the answer they wanted, but they personally verified it on the computer, they are all designers, they have used mechanical computers, and they are also in the design, using a lot of calculations, and they still have some calculation files, how is the accuracy rate, just take it out for verification.

After a chicken and dog jumping, a few people look at this calculator with a different vision, once 1000 people used 7 days, plus 12 hours of mechanical computer to calculate the results, the calculator, it took less than half a minute, after a few calculations listed, the answer was shown, such a calculation speed, it is simply amazingly terrible, as for the correct rate, it is completely 100 percent, the accuracy of 12 decimal places, not only no error, even through him, The error in the previous calculation was found, and there was an error in the 4th decimal place, which would not have any effect on a 10,000-ton battleship, but for artillery that required accuracy, each additional level after the decimal point would bring a significant improvement in accuracy and gun performance.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at them with great satisfaction and was surprised by the role of such a computer, tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, large-scale integrated circuits and ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, the electronic technology of later generations has gone through a full 5 generations, seventy or eighty years of history, the difference between the latest computer and the early computer, is simply a world of difference, just like this, the computer engineering of the United States during World War II is also a huge project no less than nuclear weapons, such a simple function calculator, get this era, It's simply a black technology among black technologies.

After solving the problem of calculation, even the most picky Fabian will not say anything, after the most difficult calculation problem is solved, the rest will not be a problem, Fabian and they promised that they will set up a joint development team next, and all the assistants plus some personnel from the Northwest Support will be jointly engaged in the preparation of the Fantasy-class battleship.
