Chapter 199: What is it like to copy and copy?
Of course, at this moment, Lin Yiqing did not feel that there was anything wrong with his military uniform, and now, he was standing next to the secondary gun on the left side of the flybridge, using a French navy-standard binoculars to observe the target ship in the distance.
At present, the "Ocean" has sailed out of the harbor and into the open sea, where it is conducting artillery drills.
With a tremor from beneath his feet, a cloud of white smoke rose from the muzzle of the 240 mm main gun at the bow, and the two guns of the same caliber in the amidship and stern began to fire one after the other.
After completing several rounds of test firing of the main gun, the 140-mm gun appeared on the stage, spewing tongues of fire under the gaze of Gu Ba, Lin Yiqing and Deng Zhengqing on the flybridge. Under the heavy artillery fire, the target ships were blown to pieces one by one.
"Sure enough, it's extremely sharp," Lin Yiqing, who was standing there, studied the artillery description in his hand, and couldn't help but be amazed, "This kind of firepower is really invincible......
Hearing Lin Yiqing's admiration, Gu Ba just smiled slightly.
"Yes......" Deng Zhengqing, who was standing between Guba and Lin Yiqing, put down the binoculars in his hand and muttered, "It is difficult to gather all the ships of my Great Dry Water Division to be sharp......
A blonde-haired figure peeks out from the gangway connecting the flybridge to the deck, "Gentlemen......"
Louis-Eacute-mile Bertin, assistant designer at the French shipyard in La Sena, walked up to the flybridge with a cheerful face and asked with a laugh, "How?" Do you like this boat? β
This is a Frenchman in his early thirties, with a sunny face under his fluffy blonde hair, and a slightly raised mouth that seems to be always smiling, and his presence has dissipated the dull and oppressive atmosphere that had shrouded the flybridge a lot.
"We like it very much." Lin Yiqing turned to face Portion, and a big smile appeared on his face, "This is really a powerful battleship. β
"Thank you for the compliment." The designer named Portion leaned over lightly and bowed elegantly to Lin Yiqing, he immediately got up, the corners of his mouth rose, and a big smile bloomed on his already cheerful face: "This is the latest warship in France, don't you want the navy of the Daqian Empire to have a warship as good as it?" β
Lin Yiqing and Deng Zhengqing, who were standing behind Gu Ba, glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both showed a meaningful smile.
"It's a real steel floating city." Lin Yiqing nodded, "I always dreamed that our sailors could have such a giant ship. β
Portion looked eagerly and said, "Sir, I know that there may be other shipyards selling you their solutions, but I can assure you that the one from the Rassena shipyard will be even better!" Our ships have been designed to withstand the rigors of war and have proven their superior performance! β
"I am very grateful for the sincerity expressed by your factory." Lin Yiqing smiled and nodded, "We are very satisfied with the warships built by your factory......"
"France has been your country's best friend in the construction of warships since the beginning of its shipbuilding business. And now the friendship is growing further, isn't it, sir? β
"Yes." Lin Yiqing looked at the impatient designer who was doing sales for his shipyard, and nodded with a smile.
He knew that the other party might think of himself as an officialdom boss of the country.
"As a sign of our friendship, sir, as long as your country orders a warship at our shipyard, we will give it as much as possible in terms of price and payment method."
"This is really ......" Lin Yiqing seemed to be deeply moved, his face showed sincere gratitude, his lips pursed, and he said after a long time: "How can this be done?" β
"It's totally fine." Portion's face was full of smiles, "Then I wonder when we can sign the contract?" β
"Don't worry, sir, we'll provide you with the design requirements and the other shipyards in due course, compare the design options, and then make a decision." Lin Yiqing said with a smile.
"Alright, gentlemen, I hope to get your design requirements as soon as possible." Portion said seriously, "We promise that the designed warship will be world-class!" β
Perhaps anxious to gain the trust of the Chinese in front of him, this enthusiastic designer took out an atlas and displayed it on the deck to Lin Yiqing and Deng Zhengqing and several naval officers of the Qianguo Navy.
"I have here a drawing of the latest cruiser under construction in my country, could you please help me take a look, how is the design of this cruiser?" Lin Yiqing finished reading the atlas and did not comment, but quietly took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to the French designer in front of him.
Portion took the drawing and looked at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This is an excellent cruiser!"
Lin Yiqing guessed that Portion would react like this, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
This drawing is a sketch of the French "Duguturuin"-class armored cruiser that he had just drawn in Deng Zhengqing's official cabin!
The reason why he painted the "Dujuturuin"-class armored cruiser was because when he visited the Harbour Minister Ding Yusheng, he saw a sketch of the "Kaiji"-class cruiser designed by Lin Yizhe, and he recognized at a glance that the "Kaiji"-class cruiser designed by Lin Yizhe was actually equivalent to basically copying the French "Dujutuin"-class armored cruiser, and adding some of his own designs.
Among the French cruisers of the same period, the "Dujutuin" class cruiser was not particularly outstanding in size and performance, but its armament really stood out from the crowd. It is equipped with a total of 4 earphones in the bow and stern, and the main guns are no longer installed in the ship's side guns or changing the mast installation method, but are mainly installed in the earrings, which can only be seen on ironclad ships in the current French Navy. The four 190 mm Ghanaian guns used as the main guns were mounted in four ear mounts, and one was peculiarly mounted on the deck on the first floor. In order to avoid the bow of the ship, the gun also added a high base, so that the bow could get the fire of 3 main guns at the same time. Compared to its neighbor Britain, the French designer's style is bold and avant-garde. The secondary guns of the cruisers of the "Dujuturuin" class were 5 140-mm Cannon guns, 4 of which were installed on the broadside between the fore and aft ear holders, and the remaining 1 was mounted on the aft deck. In addition, it has two 14-inch torpedo tubes, as well as a majestic French large-nose ramming horn head that is nearly 7 meters long.
