"Who drew this drawing?" Standing under the huge crane, an old engineer looked at a simple drawing in front of him and questioned the person who sent the drawing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is simply a joke, half of the battleships have just been built, and they will be changed when they say that they will be changed? And it's not an improvement like strengthening, even if it's changed, it's changed to a weird cruise ship?

What does it mean to move the superstructure and place the flue and bridge on the side of the ship as much as possible? Why not put artillery on one battleship? It's just playing the piano randomly!

He said that he would not allow anything, to convert a newest heavy cruiser under construction into a strange experimental ship! This is his work, and nothing can be changed!

With a sense of anger, the old engineer walked into the dockyard office and spread the drawings in his hand on the other party's table: "Sir, this battleship is a heavy cruiser designed by the military for two years, equipped with an experimental boiler, and it is a very important ......"

"This change plan came from the military...... I heard that this battleship was going to be converted into an experimental ship to conduct experiments at sea. In the office, the person in charge replied helplessly.

This unfortunate person in charge also just received the rule, saying that it was someone from the naval armament department who asked to revise the construction opinions and modify the warship of more than 8,000 tons under construction into another appearance.

I heard that the overall freeboard should be increased, and the displacement has increased to more than 13,000 tons. As if this was not enough, it was heard that the hull would be grown, the tonnage would be expanded to more than 15000 tons.

To be honest, such a modification, to take a cruiser with a new type of boiler for experiments, is simply a waste. You must know that although the capital ships of the Ming Empire have suffered great losses, there are still dozens of cruisers, and there are guys with larger tonnage.

It's just that it seems that the people above named the new boiler and power system, which must be burned with heavy oil instead of coal, so in the end it can only be modified with this new warship that has just begun to lay keels.

"Experiments? What experiment did not even need to install a single gun, and the building was moved to the side of the battleship? Doesn't that affect the center of gravity? Don't the people who propose the changes use their brains? The old engineer said, banging on the table.

"That's why I brought you here? It says I have to do this, and I can't help it. The boss said this with a smile.

He asked himself if there were so aggrieved bosses like himself, there were really not many on the market now. Although the engineer in front of him is very qualified, he can shout at him and slap the table, which shows how tolerant he is of his subordinates on weekdays.

Sighing helplessly, he persuaded bitterly: "You see, the new drawings need you to help revis, including the center of gravity, as well as the draft and total weight." ”

This is tantamount to building a new battleship, and the surplus displacement of the original battleship has been completely filled up by random changes.

Now the anti-sinking performance of this battleship is almost equal to zero, as long as a few compartments are flooded, the battleship may capsize and sink.

The old engineer stopped yelling at his boss, he focused on the drawings in front of him, and carefully considered them.

If the center of gravity were to be changed now, the weight on the other side would have to be increased to maintain balance - so that the center of gravity of the ship would be upward, and the battleship would not be able to withstand the wind and waves.

If you want to maintain stability, you can only increase the ballast at the bottom of the battleship. As a result, the displacement will continue to rise, and the ship's anti-sinking performance will be further reduced.

For a battleship, this is simply an endless loop, and to make such improvements from the basis of a cruiser can simply be said to be difficult for a strongman.

After thinking about it, the old expert closed his eyes, gestured his hand on the drawing, and said persuadly: "If I say that if I want to design it like this, I must redesign a ship's hull, and the current one is absolutely useless!" ”

"But the people above ......," said the head of the dockyard, who heard the old expert say this, and became even more depressed. He was trying to convince the other party to modify the original hull, where to build a new ship?

"Since you say so...... How sure is that that a new hull will be designed in a week? At this time, the old expert followed him in, and the officer who came to deliver the drawings asked.

"Don't think about combat? Don't need armor? The old gentleman turned around and asked the officer who walked in, "Since you don't consider the anti-sinking performance and the firepower, you must not be used for combat, right?" ”

When the officer heard the other party's question, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "You are really an expert. True, this ship of ours is completely experimental, without thinking about operations. ”

The old expert heard the affirmative reply, did not leave, walked out of the room with a blank face, and walked in with a box of drawings before a minute had passed.

He put the box on the table, pointed to the naval officer who came to deliver the drawings, and said: "This is the drawing of the 14,000-ton 'Yubo' cruise ship, and the modification is completely in line with your requirements." ”

"Sir, are you telling the truth? Able to start construction in a matter of days? Is it really much more suitable than modifying the cruiser in that dock? The naval officer asked several questions in a row.

The old man, who had designed and built ships in the dockyard all his life, heard the question and sneered: "Of course it's true, it's more appropriate than modifying that cruiser!" It's so suitable! ”

Speaking of this, the old gentleman thought about it and gave a time that he felt was feasible: "If you modify it, it can be completed in three or five days, as long as you don't modify the design requirements halfway!" ”

The naval officer nodded, acknowledging the old designer's words, and promised: "In that case, then please ask the old gentleman to go back with me!" ”

"Where are you going?" When the old man heard that the other party asked him to follow, he was obviously stunned, and asked in disbelief: "I've worked here all my life, and I can't go anywhere else!" ”

Of course, the old man knew that the owner of the dockyard and the manager and others tolerated him, and what he could repay this love was nothing more than loyalty and knowledge. So, when he heard the words to let him go with him, his first reaction was to refuse.

Hearing the old gentleman's words, the naval officer was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "It's just a secondment, and the local government has no right to refuse the military's affairs." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the carriage parked by the dock gate not far from the window: "Go and see Chen Zhaoming, who is in charge of this...... Major General Chen. ”
