Soon, the preparatory team began to build a part of this dance hall that was separated, and Fabian's assistants didn't intervene here at all before, but they just heard them talk, but Fabian and others at that time were also careless, just mentioning that it might be an open-ended idea, maybe just to make some technical reserves for the future.

Now, tell them that it is possible for the Fantasy class to enter the engineering design, and even enter the substance, which is more or less surprising to everyone, they are designers, even if they are just assistants, and they have also participated in the design of some warships, and the final number of the Fantasy class is so strong that everyone is shocked, can it really be designed and constructed now?

The appearance of the fantasy class, it can be said that it detonated everyone's interest, the three major designers, as well as their assistants, have all invested in the design of this epoch-making warship, among them, computers are especially liked by designers, especially some assistants responsible for calculations, feel very convenient, usually may have to accumulate over time, to be able to complete the calculation results, now may be a few calculations, in a short time can be completed.

With the help of computers and numerous professionals, it took several days to quickly complete the basic engineering drawings, especially the advance layouts, such as the preparation of the keel and steel materials before the shipyard was built.

Before the next supply point, most of the design has been finalized, and before entering the Suez Canal, the last stop in the Mediterranean, the preparatory work, via guò cable telegraph, will be sent to the northwest, so that the industrial system of the northwest can prepare some of the necessary materials and power systems.

Among them, Fabian also put forward a request, and after Yang Yuanzhao's consent, Fabian also sent the design drawings and part of the information back to Germany through the guò intelligence department.

The fleet set sail again, and the huge fleet needed to be divided into several batches, and it took about a week, and the German intelligence department also attached great importance to this design after receiving it, and sent it back to Germany by the fastest way, which took only 5 days to send it to the German Admiralty.

German Admiralty, Tirpitz looked at the drawings in his hand with some uneasiness, to be honest, this overall rendering, the marked part understands, whether it is 10 15-inch guns, or the overall speed, protection, are amazing, and even in the follow-up, it is also written that if the 3-link device is solved, 4 3-link guns can be used to replace 5 double-linked, such artillery fire is more powerful, reaching an astonishing 12 guns, which can be said to be the strongest artillery battleship.

On this point, according to the existing drawings, the addition of 2 guns, due to the reduced weight of the triple compared to the double, as long as the center of gravity is reasonable, such an arrangement has little impact on the whole, and the power of about 120,000 horsepower is enough to support the extra weight of hundreds of tons, or even thousands of tons.

But these are based on assumptions, based on power, artillery, and even armor to produce a huge breakthrough, if this foundation is illusory, this powerful battleship, will be in the mirror.

Tirpitz as the founder of the high seas fleet, perennial research of all kinds of warships, although in the professional field, not as good as those designers who have a direct understanding of battleships, the basic things are still understood, he has countless hopes that the high seas fleet is strong, this time Yang Yuanzhao came to Germany, to provide the drawings of the naval gun, so that the king-class naval artillery has made a huge breakthrough, 13.5 inches is much more powerful than the original 12 inches, but compared with this fantasy level, it is not a grade at all, It can be said that even if the King-class with a powerful 13.5-inch naval gun is added, two or three ships may not be the opponent of this fantasy class, he is already a perfect combination of attack, protection and speed to the extreme.

For Tirpitz's, if this battleship can really be built, Germany must get him, such a battleship can make the whole world, most of the warships in service and under construction, all outdated, and his epoch-making combat effectiveness is even greater than the previous dreadnought.

Soon, there was a knock at the door, and several designers walked in, they were the most important designers of the current king-level, and even included the chief designer, they had already heard something on the way, and they did not waste time when they came, and directly studied this drawing.

Time passed minute by minute, among them, Tirpitz and some key officials of the Admiralty did not move, they were all waiting for their judgment results, which is related to the next part, the Admiralty's shipbuilding plan.

After almost five hours, the chief designer summed up the surrounding opinions and said: "It is theoretically feasible, but we are not sure whether we can solve the two major problems of power and artillery, and the hull structure is also a heavy problem, more than 40,000 tons, and the full load of almost more than 45,000 tons of ships, his keel is crucial." ”

"Keel?"

"That's right, the keel we use now, including the king-class, can perfectly withstand all aspects of the strength of the battleship, but for a battleship of more than 40,000 tons, especially a full load of almost 50,000 tons, this keel not only has to support tens of thousands of tons of weight, withstand the momentum brought by the battleship that is running, but also need to withstand the pressure brought by the impact of artillery fire, the requirements are very high, and it will not be like that of civilian use, and even, it has the ability to produce 15-inch guns, It does not mean that such a strong keel material can be made. ”

"In other words, the keel is not shown in the material!"

"That's right? The deck and naval guns are the biggest problem, but it is the British oil-fired boiler, but it is possible, after all, compared to the 13.5-inch naval gun, the boiler is a little simpler, and it can be considered to be imported from the northwest! ”

After the chief designer finished speaking, the scene was calm, protection, speed and firepower, these three points, are almost the most critical points of the battleship, to be able to become the designer of the battleship, these experts in Germany, at least in these aspects, are unique, capable of them can see the key to the problem at a glance, and also raise questions.

"Well, it means that he can't control zuò."

"It's hard to say, according to what I know about Fabian, he is not a person with an open heart, and if he is not quite sure, he will not pass this back."

Tirpitz was a little confused, and he finally asked, "What then?" ”

"You can negotiate with the Northwest to see if the technology of the oil-fired boiler can be transferred, and the same is true for the materials of the gun, as for this battleship, the Northwest wants to build it, and then talk about it when it is built."

The designer can say that he has come up with the most secure method, and the slow is a little slower, but in terms of artillery and power, if the Northwest is willing to transfer, it is equivalent to saying that Germany has obtained a good power and artillery, as for what kind of course this battleship will be built, then it will be built, and then the relationship between Germany and the Northwest will be two years slower at most, or even only one year, as long as it is obtained, the troops are equipped and trained into an army, and the power of the German High Seas Fleet is absolutely different.

Ten days later, the telegram was delivered to Yang Yuanzhao, after the Guò Suez Canal, the vanguard fleet and the follow-up fleet had already left the Suez Canal, and the huge fleet of 1.2 million tons was sailing on the Mediterranean.

In a few days, because of the protection of warships, the outside is calm, the work of the fantasy team is constantly expanding, there are a lot of gains, the basic processing drawings of the industry are already in progress, and a lot of problems have been found, the northwest is in the shipbuilding industry, there is too much shortage, the workers supported by Germany, if it is to manufacture a battleship of the level of Nassau, it should be a job, plus the workers supported by the northwest, can be almost completed, But for such a 45,000-ton giant ship, it is completely impossible, this is no longer a reluctant thing, 45,000 and 15,000, it seems to be 3 times the difference, and the personnel used and the technical level are at least 7 times, or even 10 times.

Understanding this, Yang Yuanzhao had no choice but to continue to ask the German side, this time the German side, there were no more personnel, so he had to temporarily transfer a batch of oil boilers and artillery steel for the exchange of oil-fired boilers and artillery steel, this is only the first batch, the rest are full of promises, just waiting for the workers in the northwest to arrive in Germany, depending on the situation to adjust, as long as the northwest workers, how many German workers can be replaced, Germany will definitely not hesitate to send how many workers to help Qingdao produce these two warships.

This is already the biggest benefit, Yang Yuanzhao is also very helpless, but there is no way, the battleship is the strongest scientific and technological crystallization in the naval field, sometimes it is not a drawing, a production capacity can be achieved, there are many places that need support, in the process of continuous digging and refinement of drawings along the way, this problem has been gradually highlighted.

Two quid pro quo, it is not difficult to decide, boiler and cannon steel, representing the two most important aspects of the battleship power and firepower, these two are Germany's weaknesses, after the reinforcement, the strength of the king class, will definitely increase a lot of power on the original basis, it is the icing on the cake, so that Germany in the field of capital ships, not weaker than Britain, or even stronger, when the high seas fleet has a direct lethality to Britain, not like later generations, in the Battle of Jutland, only a little contact, It was found that there was a huge difference in strength, and those who fled in a hurry eventually became a battleship that saved zài, and the two consequences were absolutely different.

Radio wave exchange, reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, and even Germany promised to send another 2 chief designers and 300 engineers on the warship to Qingdao, which is a huge support, according to Fabian they assessed, with these, plus some necessary workers to supplement, the project and construction of the fantasy class can barely begin.
