Chapter 8 Nagato-class battleships
"Are you Japanese? Do you have your own name?" Don't blame Chen Shao for being strange, because the previous cyborgs had no names except for James. James is perfect, is this person also perfect? If it's perfect, it's not a big profit. And this name makes Chen Shao feel very familiar." Report to the commander, whatever nationality the commander is, I am what nationality I am. And as a Perfection-class warship designer, how can he not have his own name." Wait, Keiji Fukuda, the warship designer, suddenly Chen Shao patted his head and shouted: "My God, the Yamato-class battleship, the pinnacle of battleships."" Report sir, what Yamato-class, what kind of battleship is that? Can it be called the pinnacle of battleships?" Keiji Fukuda asked with a confused face, "Don't you know the Yamato class?" Chen Shao saw that he really didn't know, and couldn't help but ask again. Report sir, Yamato-class, I really don't know, when will the new battleship come out?" Keiji Fukuda's face was even more confused
Seeing the appearance of Keiji Fukuda, Chen Shao thought about it, it was only 1914, and the time when Little Japan built the Yamato-class was in 1937, and there were still 23 years before now.

But even if you give me the design drawings of the Yamato-class now, it won't be useful, and if you don't have qualified steel and skilled workers, you will put it there and mold." Keiji Fukuda, in the future you will be called Chen Fu, and from today you will be an authentic Chinese."" Report sir, yes, I will be called Chen Fu from now on, and I am an out-and-out Chinese." Keiji Fukuda replied indifferently, he didn't care what his name was, as long as he could follow the commander.
Chen Shao patted him on the shoulder, took out a set of clothes for him, and asked him to put them on. Ever since the garment factory started producing clothes, there have been a lot of clothes prepared here." Chen Fu, you will design those battleships," "Report sir, I have the complete construction drawings of the Nagato-class battleship, and I am now designing an absolutely invincible battleship, but it has not yet been named, and its displacement is expected to be twice that of the Nagato-class."
Hearing this, Chen Shao had already determined in his heart that the small Japanese Yamato-class in later generations was designed by Chen Fu, because the displacement of the Yamato-class was also close to twice that of the Nagato class. Although I don't know if the Nagato class was designed by him, but there are drawings that don't care if he designed it himself, not to mention, the first Nagato class in small Japan was built in 1917, and now little Japan is estimated to have not even started the design, when the time comes, when little Japan starts to build, he will go to Europe to sell the Nagato class, in 1917, the world war is in full swing, and the Nagato class at that time is definitely the top battleship.
A battleship, also known as a capital ship and a combat ship, is a large surface warship with large-caliber naval guns as its main weapon, with strong armor protection and assault power, and can fight in the open ocean. In naval battles, it is usually an artillery battle in which multiple ships are lined up in a single column battle line, hence the name. Early battleships were also called ironclad or armored ships. The name battleship came about with the change in naval tactics during the Anglo-Dutch War of 1655-1667. At that time, the warships with the strongest firepower did not engage in cross-side combat, but formed a column of battle, sailed parallel to the enemy fleet, and used the guns on one side of the fleet to concentrate fire on the enemy volley, hence the name "battleship". The first of its kind, the British ship "Kings of the Seas", built in 1638, had three broadside gun decks and 102 guns. The battleships at this time were all wooden sailing ships. In 1849, France built the world's first battleship "Napoleon" with a steam engine as the main power plant. It was armed with gunners 100 steam battleships of the era. But it still has sails as auxiliary power. In 1861, Britain's first iron-hulled armored battleship, HMS Warrior, also had auxiliary sails. The sails on the battleship gradually disappeared after 20 years of arrival. In 1862, France built the first battleship with a rotating turret, the "Prince Albert", and for a time the name of the ship replaced the battleship because the turret-mounted guns became obsolete in any direction. In 1906, the British-built "Dreadnought", the largest and most powerful armored ship in the world at that time, was launched and the name of the battleship was restored. Designed and supervised by the famous Italian engineer Colonel Cunibeadi, the "Dreadnought" has a displacement of 17,900 tons, a speed of 40 km/h, and is equipped with 10 305 mm main guns, 24 76 mm secondary guns, and underwater torpedo launchers, which are more than 1 times more powerful than the other largest armored ships at the time, and the armor of the two sides, turrets and conning towers is up to 280 mm thick. Since then, various naval powers have built their own battleships following the example of the "Dreadnought". Before the 30s of the 20th century, "dreadnought" ships were synonymous with battleships, and the number of battleships also became a criterion for measuring the strength of a country's navy. The last battle column in the world was launched at the end of World War II. During this period, the displacement, speed, caliber of the main guns, the thickness of the armor and other properties of the battleships were greatly improved, and among the hundreds of battleships built successively, all of them inherited the basic form laid by the "Dreadnought".

Report sir, not sure yet."" And will you design civilian ships? Like other destroyers, cruisers, or submarines?" Chen Shao doesn't want this perfect-class warship designer to only design battleships." Report sir, no problem. What type of warship do you want, sir?" Don't be in a hurry now, you go and rest first, tomorrow I will arrange a place for you in the combat laboratory, and then you can draw all the drawings of your battleship." Chen Shao is really not in a hurry, it is useless to be in a hurry, there are no workers, and it is useless to be in a hurry." Report to the Chief. Yes."
Watching Chen Fu slowly walk towards the barracks, Chen Shao asked a member of the security team who patrolled at night to arrange a place for him to live, and after settling down his identity, he walked into the base.
