The overall transformation plan of the Nanrui ship, in fact, Lu Hong had an idea after boarding the battleship, but the transformation of this battleship is not as small as making a machine by himself, and it is all silver when it is smashed, just by painting it and adding a rapid-fire gun for training, it will cost more than 20,000 silver, and no matter how much, now it is sold to Lu Hong, and there is no more.

Therefore, after walking around the Jiangnan Shipyard, Lu Hong hand-drew a simple drawing, and asked the craftsmen in the shipyard to make a small thing, hanging it on the cross fork with a vertical pointed cone, and below it were the scales of the front and back, left and right, and then installed this thing on the main gun platform......

Lu Jianzhang obviously saw this thing, which made him a little strange, this thing definitely didn't exist in the original...... I don't know what it is!

"It's a spirit level!" Lu Hong obviously saw the strange expressions of these two people, and the idea of replacing Nanrui's main gun, he didn't move it again, unless Liu Kun came out with the silver, otherwise, he would not be able to go bankrupt if he played this money-burning warship, but it was obviously inappropriate to make a small fuss.

"Your Excellency...... Does this have anything to do with artillery?" Lu Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi were obviously completely confused about the thing that Lu Hong installed next to the fort, but they still vaguely guessed something.

Lu Hong stood in front of the fort, took out a drawing and handed it to the two of them, on the drawing was a few schematic diagrams of the change of the elevation angle of the gun barrel produced by the warship's rolling and undulating, Lu Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi understood the role of this small device almost at the same time...... Obviously, when the sailors practiced the artillery, they chose to reduce the speed of the ship to minimize the occurrence of this situation, but with this small level, they could predict the horizontal position of the battery and fire the artillery in the best position!

Lu Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi are both from the background of water master teaching, so they naturally understand the amazing value of the schematic diagram on this piece of paper, but the two muttered and discussed for a long time, but there are still many questions that have to be raised...... For example, there is a delay in the firing of this artillery, the artillery of this era is not fired at the same time, after ignition, because the black powder burns slowly, it will take a while to start!

For example, the hull rolls from side to side and rises and falls, which obviously also affects the position of the level, how can this be overcome, can't this thing fire if it doesn't run to the middle position......

For these two guys to comprehend the artillery command map they drew so quickly, Lu Hong also nodded with satisfaction, "Lang Zhai, haven't you ever been a teacher?" Can you briefly talk about the situation of the sailor's gunnery! ”

When it came to Lu Jianzhang's familiar sailor training, he immediately came to his senses, and demonstrated the so-called artillery skills of the current Nanyang Naval Division and even the entire Chinese Naval Division with the 210mm Krupp heavy cannon in front of him, which made Lu Hong scratch his head when he heard it...... The main aim is still the gun aiming, which is also to use the eyes to observe whether the gun barrel is on the same surface as the enemy ship, and if it is not aligned, turn the turntable...... As for the pitch of the artillery and the timing of the firing, it is entirely up to experience!

Such so-called artillery skills really rely entirely on the accumulation of experience in peacetime training, and when it comes to experience, this time, Lu Jianzhang, who wants to be very confident, also has a somewhat embarrassed expression, you know, this naval test artillery, in this peacetime really does not want to train can be trained, Guo Baochang as the commander stipulated that the main battleship practice 5 rounds of artillery per month, and in fact, in most cases, even 2 shells per month may not be able to practice, this training fee has to be deducted from the sailing fee of the pipe belt, And that pipe band will not be able to get along with his own silver?

As a result, there was a bizarre situation a long time ago, the sailors had no intention of performing at all during training, and when Shangfeng came to the test, the target ship and the target were all manipulated, with built-in explosives, and even the distance was measured with ropes...... This didn't surprise Lu Hongduo, he had seen these things in the history books before!

After listening carefully to Lu Jianzhang's introduction, he thought about it for a while, and then said to these two categorically: "The previous artillery skills, you must completely abandon them, you must master the new artillery skills as soon as possible, these two said that you first urge the workers to brush the boat, quickly load the cannon, and then look for me, the naval master's artillery skills must be completely renovated!" ”

Now the hardware of the battleship cannot be greatly improved for a while, and it is obvious that Lu Hong naturally turns his attention to the improvement of the skill of the sailor!

At a time when naval gunnery was clearly a key element of victory at sea, the British Empire was clearly far ahead of China and Ben in this respect, and the British were never stupid...... Although the British Empire desperately sold its various warships to other countries, the Admiralty never stopped researching naval gunnery, nor did it take the initiative to sell any gunnery-related instruments to the outside world.

Recently, on the Yoshino sold to the Yue himself, in view of the strong request of the Yu himself, the Armstrong factory was equipped with the first generation of McMitt's rangefinder that had been eliminated by the Royal Navy, this optical rangefinder can maintain a certain ranging accuracy at a distance of 2000 meters, however, within 2000 meters, direct gun aiming and prediction have been able to solve the problem of hit rate, of course, this is without considering a series of problems that affect the accuracy of shooting.

Since 1893, the Royal Navy has been equipped with the FA-MKI vertical Maroque rangefinder of the British company Barr Stlauder, which has a standard 8-foot ranging baseline, and the use of conjunctive lens technology to determine the distance of the target, at a distance of 3000 meters, the ranging accuracy can reach 1-2% error, which is already a technically very close to mature technology.

When Lu Hong was very engaged in discussing how to improve the naval division's gunnery on the battleship, Lu Jianzhang and Qi Fengyi were both officers who were familiar with the military affairs of the naval division, and from their detailed introductions, he soon discovered more problems, and the battleship had no concept of wartime damage management at all, and there were neither full-time personnel nor full-time training.

Speaking of which, these two guys even have a rhetorical quibble, once a problem occurs, the nearby sailors and soldiers will naturally rush into repairs...... Lu Hong was helpless about the unprofessional attitude of these two guys, but he still asked them very seriously to prepare for the damage management team, and he began to think about going back to write a booklet and quickly assemble the team!

Just when a few people were talking, a fast horse galloped under the dock, and Feng Hesheng sat on the horse and shouted loudly: "Lord Lu, Lord Qincha Wang is anxious to see you, I heard that something big has happened!" ”
