Chapter 51: The Ambition of a Chromium Battleship

Anyone who is familiar with naval knowledge knows that the mainstream battleship at the end of the 19th century was the steel cruiser, and from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of World War II, there were three main processes in the development of battleships, cruisers, battleships, and battlecruisers.

Among them, the battle cruiser is a combination of the characteristics of both cruisers and battleships, and the most enthusiastic country for battlecruisers is the United Kingdom. But the shortcomings of the battlecruisers in the later Battle of Jutland were also exposed in the war, the weak armor was vulnerable to the heavy guns of the battleships, and the British battlecruisers were sunk by the Germans one after another. In addition, because of technological progress, the speed of battleships has been as fast as that of battlecruisers, and the battlecruiser type has been eliminated.

The battleships were also eliminated after World War II, the first reason is that the attack range is short, and over-the-horizon operations cannot be carried out. Its striking feature is that the deck of the ship is thick, the caliber of the ship's guns is large, and the caliber of some of the ship's guns reaches 305 mm, and its ultimate weakness is that it cannot carry out over-the-horizon attacks.

Second, the hit accuracy is low. Due to the absence of guided weapons, it was decided that the ship would have a low accuracy of hit when attacking. Artillery was the most important offensive weapon at that time, and the concentration of powerful cannons on ships formed the most powerful weapons at that time, but due to the appearance of aircraft carriers, battleships were also eliminated.

Battleships, battle cruisers, cruisers in later generations have a lot of controversy, in the era of aircraft carriers did not appear, Li Yi is still more inclined to the development and use of battle cruisers, Li Yi is mainly because he knows that as long as he pays attention to the development of high-strength steel plates, he can avoid the fate of battle cruisers being easily destroyed by heavy artillery, and its superior maritime maneuverability is the only magic weapon for its survival, battleship defense is good, but it is expensive, maintenance is even more staggering, and he is extremely bulky, and the maneuverability is very poor.

There is also the development of naval guns to a caliber of 388 mm is already the limit, no matter how large the naval guns are, they will cause serious damage to the hull, and no matter how they are developed, these three types of ships will be eliminated.

Originally, Li Yi didn't need to be so anxious about the development of advanced warships, but now it has changed, and there has also been a traverser in Europe, Li Yi's main purpose this time is to find him, but he hid very skillfully, and he sent almost all the power of the ghost out, and he didn't find the slightest information about him.

Li Yi didn't find him, but he leaked himself, as long as he knew a little bit of history, he would be able to know another time and space, and there was no such a person as Li Yi in this period, let alone such a large-scale acquisition.

Li Yi felt that his heart was pressed on a big stone, he must develop as quickly as possible, no matter what means are necessary, otherwise with the strong industrial strength of Europe, it is simply too simple to surpass himself, Li Yi must now develop his own industrial strength.

The only thing that makes Li Yi happy now is that this person who traveled through Europe does not have a high status and has limited influence. However, Li Yi also understands that with the cheating of the golden finger, he will not be suppressed, and his rise is unstoppable. Li Yi must race against time and the unknown traverser.

"Lee? Plum? Jenna shook Li Yi vigorously many times before she saw Li Yi come to her senses, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, your information is very good, thank you very much." Li Yi is a little strange, is Jenna really a roundworm in her stomach? How can you be clear about what you need" Jenna, I'm a little strange, why did you make this document for me? ”

Jenna smiled weirdly and said, "Then you first say that I am qualified to follow you?" ”

"Of course you are qualified, you are so young and beautiful, so capable, so" Anyway, good words don't pay taxes, Li Yi also praised it greatly, as a Western woman, Jenna, but there is no Oriental subtlety, hearing Li Yi's praise, she giggled with laughter, leaned forward and leaned back, and accepted Li Yi's praise in full.

"Well, seeing that you are so right, and you have said a lot about my advantages, I will tell you, you told me some at the banquet, and then I learned a little more through Hughes, and that's it." Jenna blinked, looked at Li Yi playfully and said.

"Oh!" Li Yi suddenly realized: "I thought you were a roundworm in my stomach, and you know my thoughts so clearly." ”

"Honey, Lee!" Li Yi was shocked by Zhan Na's warm greeting, fortunately Shucai was not there, fortunately Shucai couldn't understand English, otherwise he would be forced to be forced in the future, sandwiched between these two beauties, but some of them were uncomfortable.

It's all William's fault, why did he set up a separate room for himself to be interviewed by Jenner, why did he put a bouquet of flowers representing love somewhere, why he just held it in his hand, why he didn't explain it when Jenna took the flowers, why he was such a bastard!

"Jenna, it's better to call me Li, don't add dear, it's not good." Li Yi reminded.

"Yes, dear! I know this is the office, and I will pay attention in the future and will not call you dear on inappropriate occasions. Zhan Na didn't understand what Li Yi meant, and Li Yi didn't want to correct her at this time, it was not a gentleman's act to embarrass a beauty.

"Lee, have you read the parenthetical paragraph below the Carl Shipyard?" Jenna walked behind Li Yi and pointed out the following lines of words with her finger.

Engineer Stephen Weil at Carr Shipyard invented an arc welding technique, but the development of the technology was suspended because the technology was immature and the shipyard did not succeed in the experiment after investing a sum of money. And because he couldn't raise funds, he had to put the research and development of the technology on hold.

Li Yi's hands couldn't help but tremble when he saw this, he knew that this was a revolutionary invention and creation, and the advent of the era of steel giants was not far off. Gotta buy, gotta get Stephen Vale!

"Jenna, I've decided to officially hire you as my secretary now, would you like to?" Jenna is a person who can help herself, and her status as a journalist allows her to get more information, Li Yi has to arrest her no matter what, and after returning to China, Li Yi's experience must be focused on army construction, and Jenna is her best helper.

“boss!” Jenna shouted happily and recognized Li Yi as the boss.
