After the Sino-American War, the Imperial Chinese Navy became the world's naval hegemon, and the strength of the navy was beyond the reach of other countries in the world, even the Royal Navy of the British Empire in its heyday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In this case, after the war, the signing of the Convention on the Limitation of Armaments of the Five Navies of the Five Powers, the Imperial Chinese Navy became the largest owner, marking the final recognition of the world hegemony of the Imperial Chinese Navy by the navies of the world's great powers.

In this way, the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire became the strongest navy in the international recognition during the treaty naval era, and the economic weakness of the Western powers after the war was unable to support a strong naval force, so it could only maintain a minimum naval force for territorial defense.

Although the main warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy have been reduced by two-thirds after the disarmament, no country's navy can threaten the world hegemony of the Chinese Imperial Navy, let alone pose a threat to the overseas territories and colonies of the Chinese Empire, because the remaining one-third of the naval force of the Chinese Empire is still the most powerful presence in the world, which is the combined tonnage of the capital ships of the British, French, German and Italian navies.

In this environment, it is not surprising that the Imperial Congress of China drastically reduced naval spending, stopped building capital ships, and gave the Imperial Navy a long vacation. Of course, the Imperial Chinese Navy as a whole is on vacation, but this does not mean that the Imperial Chinese Navy has relaxed the construction of naval forces.

Wang Chenhao, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, knew that the main arms of the navy in the future should be the aircraft carrier battle group and the naval aviation, so during the naval holiday that had lasted for ten years, under the leadership of Wang Chenhao, the imperial navy invested a lot of money and manpower in the construction of the aircraft carrier battle group and naval aviation force, so that the development of the imperial navy in this area has made great progress.

During the Atlantic War, the Imperial Chinese Navy successively built 10 main aircraft carriers and converted more than 100 transport and escort aircraft carriers. It provided a strong guarantee for the final defeat of the US Navy by the Imperial Chinese Navy.

After the war, the Imperial Chinese Navy reduced all converted transport aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers, and restored the commercial operation of these aircraft carriers. Only ten capital aircraft carriers remained, including two 28,000-ton Huangshan-class aircraft carriers, four 42,000-ton Emeishan-class aircraft carriers, and four 65,000-ton Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers built during the war but not commissioned until after the war.

These ten aircraft carriers, as the main and core command ships of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Chinese Navy, are the most advanced in the world, and no country's aircraft carrier can surpass them.

However, after 1927, the tonnage of aircraft carriers of the British Navy and the German Navy had reached the Huangshan class, and the service age of the Huangshan-class aircraft carriers was close to 20 years, all kinds of equipment were seriously obsolete and aging, and the maintenance costs had surged, and the value of continuing to serve was not large, so the Chinese Imperial Admiralty decided to retire the Huangshan-class aircraft carriers.

On October 10, the 27th year of Guanghua, on the National Day of the Chinese Empire, the two aircraft carriers Huangshan [CV-6] and Lushan [CV-7] carried out their last combat readiness duty in the East China Sea, and all the officers and men of the two ships were arranged on the deck with the words "Long Live the Chinese Empire" to present the National Day of the Empire, and then held a grand retirement ceremony at the Dalian Naval Base in the home port, and handed over to the Dalian Naval Comprehensive Training Center Base, renamed Qianduo Lotus Mountain and Phoenix Mountain (two famous mountains in Liaoning Province). Used as an aircraft carrier training ship at the Imperial Chinese Navy Training Center. ╔╗

After the Huangshan and Lushan were decommissioned, the Imperial Chinese Navy was left with eight aircraft carriers of two classes and eight aircraft carrier battle groups. A total of eight Aegis air defense cruisers, more than 20 rainstorm-class hunting ships, more than a dozen Song-class and Tang-class submarines, as well as more than 20 logistics supply ships and communications ships, will also face disbandment and redistribution. The commanders of the other eight aircraft carrier battle groups have made requests to the Admiralty to assign these warships to them in order to enhance the strength of their aircraft carrier battle groups, but because of the uneven distribution of warships and troops, the commanders of the eight aircraft carrier battle groups have made a big fuss with each other, causing a very bad impact.

In the end, the Admiralty simply gave no one and reorganized the aircraft carrier battle group.

According to the regulations on combat readiness of the Imperial Chinese Navy, all combat ships of the Imperial Navy are divided into three parts, and one-third of the naval units are on combat duty at sea every day, ready to respond to emergencies that arise anywhere in the world. One-third of the warship units remain at the Coast Guard Center for training to ensure the ability to accomplish specific combat missions and to maintain the combat effectiveness of the fleet from declining. The other one-third of the ship force carries out support operations, that is, entering the dock for maintenance and maintenance, upgrading the existing weapons and equipment systems, and ensuring that there are enough ships to fight when war suddenly comes.

Under the guidance of this combat readiness order, the eight aircraft carrier battle groups could not be divided into three parts equally, so the Admiralty decided to build another aircraft carrier battle group, so that the nine aircraft carrier battle groups would be divided into three parts and take turns to carry out combat readiness duty.

The plan for the new aircraft carrier battle group was quickly approved by Emperor Wang Chenhao, and the Navy Command issued an order to formally establish the Ninth Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, and the General Administration of Ships was responsible for building the main aircraft carriers required for the Ninth Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.

At the end of Guanghua's 27th year, the General Administration of Ship Administration completed the design of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier. The Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier was built at the same level, the Fanjingshan [CV-36], named after the famous Fanjingshan in Guizhou, which is an upgraded and improved version of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier.

The Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier was originally the first large-class aircraft carrier built by the Imperial Chinese Navy in preparation for war against the United States, and the previous Huangshan-class was a light aircraft carrier, while the Emeishan-class was only a medium-sized aircraft carrier. The displacement of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier has reached 64,000 tons, while the newly designed Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier has been slightly reduced to 60,270 tons due to technological progress while maintaining the same combat effectiveness as the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier.

In the post-war decade, the industrial achievements and scientific and technological achievements of the Chinese Empire were enormous, and the naval industry was an important measure to test most of the achievements of the Chinese Empire in the past ten years.

As early as the start of construction of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, the Chinese already accounted for a considerable proportion of the designers, experts and senior engineers in charge of the project. By the time of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier, from design to construction, Chinese designers, shipbuilding experts, senior technical engineers, and even an ordinary welder had accounted for more than 95%, and the Chinese Empire was no longer as extremely dependent on foreign scientists, experts and technicians as before, indicating that the Chinese Empire had thoroughly eaten the science and technology of the West, no longer relied on the West, and took the independent development path of the Easterners.

Since the Chinese Empire has previously completed the construction of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, after these years of tracking and testing the service of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, the Chinese Empire has already had experience in the design and construction of large aircraft carriers, through the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier and the previous Huangshan-class and Emeishan-class aircraft carriers, the advantages continue to be adopted, and the disadvantages are continuously improved and improved, so that the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carriers have become more reasonable and economical from design to construction.

After rational design and optimization, although the displacement of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier has been reduced by three to four thousand tons compared with the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, the performance of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier has not been reduced, but has been greatly improved. ╔╗The progress of science and technology has made the hangar layout of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier more reasonable, and the capacity has also expanded a lot. The design of the island has not changed much, and it is one level higher than that of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, which is used to install a radar system with more power and a longer search range.

After scientific and systematic optimization, the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier has slightly more aircraft than the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, and can carry 210 Hellfire fighters. However, the Admiralty does not intend to continue the production of Hellfire carrier-based aircraft, but is developing a carrier-based version of the J-10 fighter, preparing for the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier to be the first platform to carry the J-10 carrier-based aircraft (J-10B). Since the J-10 fighter is much larger than the Hellfire fighter in size and total volume, it can theoretically carry 200 J-10 carrier-based fighters.

The flight deck is still a right-angled hypotenuse flight deck, in order to cooperate with the J-10B carrier-based aircraft to fly on the ship, the hull was lengthened to 326.4 meters, breaking through the 300-meter mark for the first time, becoming the longest warship in the Chinese Empire and even the world, the width of the ship has also reached 39.6 meters, and the draft is more than 11.3 metersIt is 319.1 meters wide and 82.3 meters wide, which is the size of three football fields. Both the take-off deck and the landing deck can take off and land the latest H6N1 bombers of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, and their huge combat effectiveness is self-evident. It is guaranteed that the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire can also achieve the strategic goal of global strikes around the world.

For the design of the defense capability of the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, the designers of the Imperial Navy's Ship Administration took great pains to improve the defense capability of the aircraft carrier. In order to enhance the anti-sinking ability of the aircraft carrier, the General Administration of Ships has further optimized the structure of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, using harder and lighter alloy materials to enhance the strength and airtightness of the watertight cabin in the ship, and designed an automatic pressure cabin and closed door, which will automatically close the door in an emergency, so that the sailors will not risk their lives to enter the damaged cabin to block the cabin door.

In terms of anti-sinking ability, the Fanjing Mountain class is slightly higher than the Wudang Mountain class, and its armor protection is 270 mm, but it is 50 mm less than the 320 mm of the Wudang Mountain class, but thanks to the progress of the Chinese Imperial Materials Science and Technology, the latest SPK235 China special steel has increased by 50% and the weight has been reduced by 15% compared with the SDO-79 China special steel used in the previous Wudangshan class aircraft carrier, so the use of this new steel by the Fanjing Mountain aircraft carrier not only saves tonnage and volume, but also improves the protection ability. The waterline armor can resist the non-lethal penetrating attack of 5.6 21-inch black-headed torpedoes (2.3 red-headed torpedoes), and can take two torpedoes at the same time to keep the battleship balanced without sinking.

Due to the existence of the Chinese Aegis air defense cruiser of the Chinese Imperial Navy, its powerful anti-aircraft firepower has brought security to the fleet, and the aircraft carrier and the Aegis air defense cruiser are a pair of natural enemies. To this end, the Imperial weapons engineers designed and installed a more powerful MK24A3 Vulcan Dense Array on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, which is several times more powerful than the MK16A1 Vulcan Dense on the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, and has stronger air defense capabilities.

The M24A3 Vulcan Phalanx has greatly modified the firing layout, although it continues to use the 7-barrel Gatling gun layout, the caliber is still 30 mm, but the double diameter has been increased to 55 times, and the shells used have also become extended ammunition. This was developed to deal with high-speed fighters with metal shells, such as the latest Hellfire B fighter of the Imperial Chinese Air Force and the J-10 Black Hawk fighter that is about to enter service. Because the speed of the Black Hawk fighter has reached 766 kilometers per hour, the speed and effective range of the shells fired by the original 30 mm caliber guns of the air defense phalanx system are facing shortcomings, and the speed of the fighters in the future will be faster, the far-sighted Chinese imperial designers will take a long-term view, so the double diameter will be 55 times, and the shells will be changed to a special extended type of shelling and armor-piercing projectiles, the range and firing height are farther, and more gunpowder can be installed to increase the rate of fire, Used to combat fighters with speeds exceeding 700 km per hour.

The rate of fire of the Vulcan phalanx Mk24A3 is 3000-4500 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire can be adjusted, each machine gun has 2000 rounds of ammunition, the maximum firing range has been increased to about 8500 meters, the effective slope has reached 4500 meters, the firing height has reached 4200 meters, and the coverage and coverage distance of the anti-aircraft fire network have been greatly improved. ╔╗

Although the air defense capability of the Phalanx has been improved a little, because the barrels (7) have been lengthened, the ammunition has also been lengthened by 20%, and the entire Phalanx system has been completely remodeled, and the weight of the warhead has increased by more than 16 tons compared with the MK1A1.

Other countries want to copy the Chinese Empire's Vulcan Phalanx air defense system, but they don't know the core secret. All countries have not yet stepped out of the thinking circle of the Gatling machine gun, and still use the aerodynamic energy supply design of the Gatling machine gun itself, which relies on its own aerodynamic energy to shoot weapons is not stable, so although the Gatling machine gun has a theoretical rate of fire of 6000 rounds per minute, but when the rate of fire reaches 800 rounds per minute, it will in turn affect the bolt automation system, and it is inevitable that there will be jamming bullets, which is why the Gatling machine gun was popular for a while and was quickly replaced by the Maxim machine gun.

The Chinese Empire was able to make breakthroughs in this regard thanks to the guidance of Emperor Wang Chenhao. Although Wang Chenhao didn't know how to do it, he told the engineers to provide a separate external power supply for the Gatling gun, and use an electric motor and high-speed gear to drive the barrel rotation, bolt firing, cartridge casing and other operations, without relying on the bolt's own energy drive to exert the power of the Gatling gun. This principle is very simple, and after Wang Chenhao's reminder, the engineers of the Chinese Empire quickly developed the Vulcan Dense Array system. But it's such a simple principle, and foreign experts don't understand it even if they want to, they just can't do it. They even claimed that the Chinese Empire's Vulcan Phalanx system used advanced alien technology, all because the more they thought about it, the more complex it became.

After more than 10 years of development, the Chinese Empire has made breakthroughs in radar technology. Originally, a radar system capable of detecting targets at a distance of 20 km, its equipment weighed hundreds of tons, and its size was huge and could only be installed on a Ming-class battleship ten years ago. But now, the Chinese Empire has made great progress in electron tube technology, which has greatly reduced the volume and weight of the electronic equipment required for the radar system, and the radar system installed on the Fanjingshan class aircraft carrier is only 140 tons, but the sea detection range has reached 300 kilometers, and the thousand-ton ship can be found with an error of no more than 500 meters, and the air detection range has reached 150 kilometers, and any aircraft can be found with an error of no more than 1200 meters.

The progress of radar technology makes the Vulcan Phalanx system can also be installed with an anti-air search radar system, and the air defense identification circle of the M24A3 Vulcan Phalanx system is only 30 kilometers sufficient, so in order to improve the air defense capability of the phalanx, the manual control mode was canceled for the first time, and the man-machine combination of the office automation processing system was changed, and the radar system was used to lock the incoming enemy aircraft in the air to prevent the operator's visual fatigue or negligence caused by the air defense fire network loopholes. During the Sino-American War, when the air defense units of the Imperial Chinese Navy used optical observation instruments to determine the direction, speed and other parameters of enemy aircraft, it often occurred that soldiers were visually fatigued, injured or affected by the atmosphere of war due to long-term air battles, and it was not for nothing that psychological tension led to negligence. A small negligence can cause a hole in the anti-aircraft fire network, and if the enemy plane flies in and drops bombs at this time, the damage caused is immeasurable. Therefore, the Vulcan Phalanx's use of anti-aircraft radar systems to improve its defense capabilities is a huge step forward, marking the beginning of the emergence of automatic weapon systems, which will gradually replace manual operation in the future.

The M24A3 Vulcan Phalanx system, which has an advanced anti-aircraft radar system, is self-evidently powerful in its anti-aircraft firepower. However, the naval personnel are still not very reassured, after all, the development speed of the aircraft is too fast, and they dare not guarantee that the Vulcan Phalanx system is enough. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, the upgrade space was reserved on the drawings, and the original Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier carried 32 Vulcan Phalanx positions, increased by four, and a total of 36 M24A3 Vulcan Phalanx systems were deployed, and four positions were reserved for future upgrades.

All 36 Vulcan phalanx systems are arranged along the ship island and around the flight deck, which strengthens the protection of the flight deck instead of focusing on protecting the ship island, and the distribution of the up, down, left and right is relatively reasonable, forming a three-dimensional air defense fire network and strengthening the air defense fire power of the aircraft carrier.

Originally, the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier used ten twin 103 mm high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire guns, which were used to attack small surface ships close to the aircraft carrier, were also canceled at this time, and the protection of the aircraft carrier was considered to be handed over to the escort escort. ╔╗

At the same time, threats from under the water remain the preferred defense object for aircraft carriers. Because the Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire have strong air and developed silent systems, which are basically close to the noise of the ocean, the Navy has added a number of sonar systems and arrays to the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier, as many as 25 sets, as well as an underwater towed sonar array, which can strictly guard against the aircraft carrier's anti-submarine blind spot. Because the aircraft carrier was too large, two catapults for releasing depth charges were originally arranged behind the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, which proved to be unsatisfactory, and now three have been added to the Fanjingshan, respectively, on the protruding platform below the flight deck in the other three directions of the aircraft carrier, to strengthen the anti-submarine capability.

The improvement of the power system was the most rapid development of the Chinese Empire in the post-war decade, thanks to the Chinese Empire's domination of the world's oceans, which led to an increase in the number of merchant ships in the Chinese Empire, and the countries also changed from the previous shipbuilding orders in Britain to the Chinese Empire, which promoted the great progress of the Chinese Empire's shipbuilding industry, thus making the Chinese Empire's ship power system develop rapidly.

The Fanjingshan aircraft carrier is equipped with the XBOX-3000 geared steam turbine system of Shanghai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry's Zhenshan magic weapon, which breaks the monopoly of Parsons' Parsons turbine system under Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industries, and creates an advanced power system developed by the Chinese Empire and the Chinese people.

The Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, which is equipped with the XBOX-3000 steam turbine system, has only 8 boilers, which is more than half of the 20 boilers in the Wudangshan class, but the speed has increased a little. Two sets of XBOX3000 steam turbine systems, two-shaft propulsion, reached a speed of 31 knots, one section faster than the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier. The added fuel tanks and food freezer tanks have allowed the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier to have a cruising range of 10,000 nautical miles per 20 knots and a self-sufficiency time of up to six months.

Since only one aircraft carrier was built, the scientific research achievements of the Chinese Empire in the post-war decade were to be reflected in her. It is more appropriate to say that the aircraft carrier Fanjingshan is not so much a powerful aircraft carrier as it is a test ship used by the Imperial Navy to test and inspect new technologies and equipment.

In terms of electronic equipment, the construction of radar systems is second to none.

The Fanjing Mountain is equipped with two L-band radars (electromagnetic ** length of 22cm) for battlefield search, one for air search (150 km) and one for sea search (250 km), which belongs to a large-area battlefield search with low accuracy, and is only used to provide intelligence for the supreme commander to make strategic deployments. For tactical commanders, they are specially equipped with two S-band radars (with a wavelength of 10 cm), one for air (120 km) and one for sea (230 km), which can more accurately lock on ships and planes on the sea, and can more accurately calculate the approximate speed, altitude and direction of the opponent.

This is the main radar system, which is located at the top of the island. There is also an X-band fire control radar system (using 3cm electromagnetic waves), which is mainly used for the command of the weapon system, which is reflected in the semi-automatic command of the Vulcan Phalanx on the Fanjing Mountain, which is later connected by the central fire control command instrument and the main guns at all levels on the capital ship of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and is commanded by the central fire control command instrument, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the main gun shooting.

The progress of radar systems is due to the breakthrough of the Chinese Empire in the research of transistor tubes. Since Tesla and a group of other experts have come into contact with the Jiaolong, they have begun to study the electronic equipment on the Jiaolong, because Wang Chenhao requires them to ensure that the equipment is removed and installed intact, otherwise their heads will be cut off, so Tesla and others are very careful.

After years of research, they have benefited a lot, since Tesla was the first to successfully manufacture a crystal tube the size of a grenade, the tube technology has been confirmed, only what is lacking is the level of process manufacturing. ╔╗After the war, the Chinese Empire's science and technology exploded, under the rapid economic development, the industrial manufacturing capacity was greatly improved, coupled with the progress of material technology, the production and manufacturing of transistor tubes matured and shrunk.

By 1925, the crystalline electron tubes of the Chinese Empire had been reduced to the size of matchsticks, and various circuit-based devices were gradually miniaturized. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and electric washing machines have been industrialized and mass-produced on a large scale, and the prices are becoming more and more affordable.

But that's not a sign of the rise of the electronics industry. The electronic revolution in the Chinese Empire was marked by the advent of television and image fax machines.

First of all, the TV set was made by Ferro? Farnsworth, Veratimir? Sfrokin and Li Mingdao invented their own independent inventions, but there is a difference between the TV invented by the three, Ferro and Sforokin's TV is a mechanical scanning TV, and Li Mingdao's TV is an electronic TV.

On October 2, 1925, Li Mingdao successfully scanned the image of the golden statue of the Emperor Guanghua on the Imperial Square in a public television broadcast experiment in Beijing as a symbol of the birth of television, and he was called the "father of television".

The advent of the first television set was undoubtedly a technological explosion for the whole world, and only the era of movies entered the era of television. In 1927, the Central Television Station of the Chinese Empire took the lead in broadcasting the first set of TV films "Five Thousand Years of the Chinese Empire", and since then, television sets have begun to change human life, information dissemination and way of thinking. Since then, mankind has begun to enter the age of television.

The prototype of the No. A television invented by Li Mingdao was sent to the Imperial Museum of China, and Emperor Wang Chenhao nominated Li Mingdao as a candidate for next year's China International Star Award for Technological Invention.

In the same year, Li Mingdao invented the No. C TV, the cost of 8300 dragon coins, soon in the Beiyang Heavy Industry newly established TV factory put into the production line, becoming the world's first mass-produced TV, the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao personally cut the ribbon for the production line, and named the Chinese brand TV, since then the world has one more luxury.

With the advent of television, there was another electronic device that shocked the world, that is, the first time that the Chinese Empire realized color picture fax technology.

On December 8, 1927, Major Xiao Naiwu of the CIA Special Office in Berlin of the Chinese Empire used a fax machine to send the photos of the groundbreaking scene of the German Bismarck-class battleship in the Kiel shipyard that he had just detected from the air to the headquarters of the Beijing Intelligence Bureau. The fax machine used by Major Xiao Naiwu was invented by Dr. Chen Nanhai, an academician of the Imperial Chinese Academy of Sciences, and because it was first mastered by the Intelligence Bureau, it did not enter the market at the first time, but was used by agents of the Chinese Imperial Intelligence Bureau to transmit reconnaissance photos.

In fact, fax technology was born as early as the 40s of the 19th century, 30 years before the invention of the telephone. It was created by a man named Alexander? It was invented in 1843 by Bain's British inventors. However, fax communication is a relatively slow technology to develop in the field of telecommunications, and it was not until the 20s of the 20th century that it gradually matured.

It is strange to say that the origin of fax technology is not the result of the deliberate exploration of new means of communication, but is derived from the study of electric clocks. In 1842, the Scotsman Alexander? Bain researched and fabricated an electrically controlled pendulum structure with the aim of forming a number of clocks interconnected and synchronized, like the master-slave system of the current mother-child clock. In the process of development, he keenly noticed a phenomenon, that is, the pendulum of each clock in this clock system is in the same relative position at any moment. This phenomenon led the inventor to think that if the main pendulum could be used to pass it through a figure or character composed of electrical contact points during the journey, then the figure or character would be copied at one or several points at the same time at the remote main pendulum. According to this idea, he added a scanning needle to the pendulum, which acted as a brush; In addition, a clock pushes an "information board" with graphics or characters to be transmitted, which are composed of electrical contacts; A piece of electrosensitive paper is laid on the "information board" at the receiving end, and when the pointer is scanned on the paper, if there is a current pulse in the pointer, a black dot appears on the paper. When the pendulum at the transmitter swings, a pulse is emitted when the pointer touches the contacts on the information board. Driven by the clock, the information board slowly moves upwards to make the pointer scan on the information board line by line, and the graphics on the information board are turned into electrical pulses and transmitted to the receiving end; The information board at the receiving end is also driven by the clock and moves slowly, leaving a pattern on the sensitive paper, forming the same pattern as the sender. This is a fax machine in the form of primitive electrochemical recording.

By 1850, there was another British inventor named Fernandes? Beckcar, who greatly improved the structure of the fax machine, replaced the structure of the clock and pendulum with a "roller and screw" device. This improved structure works a bit like a lathe, the drum rotates rapidly, and the faxed artwork rolls rotate on the roller. The scanning needle slowly follows the axis of the drum along the bar, and scans the pattern on the surface of the drum in a spiral pattern. This type of drum fax machine has been used for more than 100 years. In 1865, an Iranian named Abakati developed a fax machine that could be used in practical use according to the principle and structure of the fax machine proposed by Bain and Beckcar, and took the fax machine to Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities in France to carry out fax communication experiments.

The requirements for the transmission of news photos and photographic images are wide-ranging. Many scientists have worked on photo fax machines.

Chen Nanhai is one of them. As a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Imperial Chinese Empire, his main research was on communication and fax technology. Under the office building of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of China, where he works, the starting point and end point of the Imperial Chinese Telecommunications Line from Beijing to Shanghai, which provides unique conditions for Chen Nanhai's research. Chen Nanhai's painstaking research obtained permission from the telecommunications department of the Chinese Empire, allowing him to use this communication line for experiments at night. Chen Nanhai spent seven years researching and experimenting in the basement of the building, and finally made a photo fax machine.

Soon, Chen Nanhai's research was targeted by CIA agents, considering the military use of fax machines to transmit photos (it is more obvious that the direct photos are attached to the information), the CIA froze Chen Nanhai's research plan, but soon reached a settlement with Chen Nanhai, Chen Nanhai specially developed the world's first portable fax machine for news gathering for CIA agents, which was convenient for agents to carry out tasks and transmit information.

After the war, with the great improvement of various technologies in the Chinese Empire, especially in the explosive development of optoelectronics, the emergence of transistor tubes solved many problems for Chen Nanhai's research. Therefore, Chen Nanhai continued to specialize in photo fax technology, and he changed the pointer contact scanning to photoelectric scanning, which not only greatly improved the quality of fax, but also made photofax possible by the cooperation of photoelectric scanning and photosensitive plate making.

In 1925, after a long period of peace, the CIA of the Chinese Empire relaxed the secrecy of fax machines, and the latest fax machine researched by Chen Nanhai was put on the market. The Imperial Chinese Telegraph and Telephone Company purchased its patent rights and soon developed a high-quality photo fax machine.

In 1926, with the approval of the National Assembly of the Chinese Empire, the wired photo fax service across the mainland and overseas territories of the Chinese Empire was officially opened, and in the same year, the wireless photo fax service across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans was also opened with the member countries of the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle.

In 1927, Chen Nanhai once again realized technical pictures, and for the first time used his latest invention of the fax machine to achieve color transmission of pictures. In fact, the color filter is used to transmit the three colors in the order of red, green, and blue in three separate ways, and then overlap and combine. Although cumbersome, as the success of the first color picture fax, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, also recommended him to the judging committee of next year's China International Star Award, making him a candidate for the Science and Technology Invention Award.

Of course, there are many instruments that use electronic transistors, and televisions and color picture fax machines are the most representative. Their appearance showed that the Chinese Empire had matured in terms of electronic transistors, marking the rise of the Chinese Empire's electronics industry.

And the great achievements of the Chinese Empire in radar systems were due to the rapid rise of the electronics industry. The original radar system equipment was bloated, and after the large-scale use of electronic transistors, the size and weight were greatly reduced, which allowed the radar system to be installed on other small and medium-sized warships, and even the small-volume weapon system such as the Vulcan Phalanx could also be installed on the fire control radar system.

In addition to the installation of advanced radar systems on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, it has also been installed on various major warships of the Chinese Empire.

After the Chinese imperial side intercepted the news of the construction of Bismarck-class battleships by the German Navy and the construction of Queen Elizabeth-class battleships by the British Navy, although no countermeasures were taken (the construction of super battleships), preventive measures still had to be prepared.

After ten years of mothballing and maintenance, the Imperial Chinese Navy's eight Ming-class battleships, four Yuan-class battleships, four Iowa-class battleships, three North Carolina-class battleships, and four Olympia-class battlecruisers and four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers began modernization in Guanghua at the beginning of the 28th year of Guanghua as a countermeasure to the British and German navies.

Of course, the modernization and upgrading are carried out in secret, and the General Staff of the Chinese Empire has not yet approved the unsealing of these 27 super warships, and they must continue to be sealed after the refit is completed, unless there is a change in the world situation, which affects the global hegemony of the Chinese Imperial Navy or affects the core interests of the Chinese Empire.

The upgrade of the twenty-seven super warships mainly includes the upgrade of firepower, power and electronic equipment.

In terms of firepower, in addition to the main guns and secondary guns at all levels to replace the barrels, the original anti-aircraft gun emplacements were all converted into M24A3 Vulcan Phalanx air defense systems to improve the capital ship's own anti-aircraft firepower.

The change in power is the most time-consuming and laborious, the Ming-class and Yuan-class battleships built by the Chinese Empire are not too problematic, and only a small number of parts that are easy to wear and corrode need to be replaced, and the captured Iowa-class battleships and Olympia-class battlecruisers of the US Navy have been well protected during the mothballing period, because they are new ships that have not been served, and the power system is okay, so it only needs a small amount of maintenance.

The only ones who needed to significantly upgrade their power systems were the three North Carolina-class battleships and four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers captured by the U.S. Navy, who had served in the Battle of the Atlantic, and whose power systems had worn out during the battle, requiring the replacement of many critical components. Due to the large technical gap between the American warships and the warships of the Chinese Empire, it was somewhat difficult to rebuild.

In terms of electronic equipment, whether it is a warship built by the Chinese Empire itself or a warship captured by the U.S. Navy, it needs to be upgraded.

The most important are the radar system and the central fire control command system. The radar system is all equipped with the latest advanced battlefield radar, altimetry radar and fire control radar system. The battlefield radar system and altimetry radar system are the radar systems on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, while the fire control radar system is the fire control radar installed on the main guns at all levels and the Vulcan phalanx at one end, and the terminal fire control command system in the central fire control command room at the other end.

Despite the emergence of the Shenbow-type battleship and the warship with a unified main gun caliber played a huge advantage in naval warfare, before the emergence of radar, the central fire control command system and the main artillery system at all levels could only be operated mechanically, relying on optical instruments and observers' reports, and then through the calculations of the calculators, and finally transmitted to the central fire control command room, and then issued to the main guns at all levels.

However, with the advent of radar, especially the equipment of the electronic phosphor screen of the Chinese Empire put into actual production, radar has finally become an indispensable and important part of the central fire control system, directly through the fire control radar of the artillery terminal and the central control room to achieve unified real-time transmission of data, so that there is no longer a need for redundant pre-shot preparation process, greatly reduce the preparation time of the main gun, and at the same time have a fire control radar command, the hit rate will be greatly improved.

Twenty-seven capital ships are equipped with artillery control radar systems at all levels of their main gun systems, and these modification plans make the warships' firepower more powerful, and to a certain extent, the global navy continues to be full of expectations for the giant ship cannon doctrine.
