It should be said that the design of this drawing is closer to the heavy cruiser "Wichita".

Liu Fatzi was really attentive, and Yang Hao found that this time he took out an all-in-one platform mode with Transformers colors.

A hull with almost the same size as the "Brooklyn class", and the main hull and main engine structure are exactly the same. Even the bridges, mainmasts, chimneys, etc., of the two ships are in similar positions. It's just that in terms of weapon settings, the light patrol is a triple 152mm gun with three or five seats in the front and two in the rear. The heavy patrol is a backpack design with two fronts and one back.

If it is simply convenient to shoot movies, replacing the main gun unit, it may not be possible to distinguish the sincerity from a distance.

Yang Hao is generally satisfied with this 10,000-ton big guy.

Although the rate of fire of the MK15 gun is only 3-4 rounds per minute, it is capable of firing heavy armor-piercing shells, which can reach the level of penetrating 203mm armor at a distance of 14,080 meters. For all warships of the late 19th century, there was a mortal threat.

Coupled with the rate of fire of the eight single-mounted MK12 127mm guns, the distance and proximity are suitable, and it can basically sweep away an enemy ship that dares to stop in front of you. I don't dare to say that I dare not say that I can protect myself and save zài.

The only thing that is not satisfactory is the thickness of the armor.

The main armor belt is 114-165mm, the front of the main gun is 203mm, and the conning tower is 152mm. The point is that the coverage area is too small, and it is equally difficult to block close fire from guns with a caliber of more than 305 mm.

If the armor steel made using modern advanced metallurgical technology can be 2-3 times more defensive than the Krupp nickel-chromium alloy steel in 1895, it will be okay. It's just the cost. I guess I'll have to go up.

Wait for Yang Hao to propose yes. It is not yet the time to properly strengthen the thickness of the armor. Liu Fatzi's eyes widened in surprise: "You really want to build a serious battleship of eight hundred!" Do you know how much it costs? Hundreds of millions of dollars are thrown in, and you can't hear the sound! ”

He put his arms around Yang Hao's neck and said earnestly: "I said brother, we can't practice the law so badly if we have money." It's okay to get a steam gunboat, you can use it anyway. These tens of thousands of tons of stuff are not used in our domestic filming. Raising funds to build a drop in the bucket is a drop in the bucket, and you have to pay for eighty percent of it yourself. Just make out a decoration, and even the service staff can't support the service staff by charging a visit fee. It's not a good deal! ”

It's true that you're a friend. In other words, if you hate the rich, it doesn't matter how much it costs you to be a local tyrant. Don't you want to waste? Brother will give you a whole Titanic and keep it for a whole time.

Although Liu Fatzi loves this industry, he is not so bottomless. He was really worried that Yang Hao would do it with a hot head, and if he looked back, he would regret it, and his friends didn't have to do it.

Yang Hao can't sue him, buddy, this is going to be used to fight in another time and space! The money must be spent, the construction must be fast, and the hull must be strong and resistant. All kinds of conditions, no less!

He also patted Liu Fatzi's thick shoulder and smiled: "You can rest assured." My money doesn't come from the wind, either. I feel that we have a little foreign wealth in our hands. Patronized to eat, drink and enjoy, it is no different from a pig. You have to be a bit ideal. Our country is now economically strong. The navy is also up, and it will definitely become a maritime power in the future. However, the history of artillery giants has always been a fault. I think it's a very meaningful thing to be able to gather the efforts of everyone and make up for this piece. ”

Liu Fatzi hmmmmmmmm

Not only him, but also many ship enthusiasts who are addicted to talking on the Internet also have such a wish. But I basically don't have that ability to achieve it. People who are really rich don't shake this stubble at all, so it can only be a dream.

Yang Hao sighed again: "In addition, you also know that my father retired from the navy. He'd spent half his life trying to command a real warship to sail the seas, and I had to help him make that happen, right? ”

Fat Liu had nothing to say. It's hard to buy filial piety with money! Although Yang Hao's method is a bit strange and exaggerated, who dares to say that people are unreasonable?

You are allowed to spend millions of dollars to buy a sports car for a junior, and why don't you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get a battleship to comfort your father?

I'll see it!

He "swiped" the corners of his mouth, twisted out two lines on his cheeks, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay! Since you said so, brother, let's show some real skills! Don't you just want to have rough skin and thick meat? No problem! Let's get him out of a serious armored battleship! ”

He really wasn't worried about Yang Hao's request.

If before World War II, high-strength marine steel was still a secret high-tech in various countries, then in the 21st century, China, the world's largest steel producer, is also the first producer of marine steel plates at all levels. Don't say that you build a few warships, even if you clone the US Navy in World War II, it will be enough to supply.

The "Bismarck battleship", which is known for its solidity, uses ST42 steel for its superstructure and unarmored cabin section with a hardness of 140-160HB, a tensile strength of 420-510MPa, a yield strength of 340-360MPa, and an elastic deformation range of 21%. The common A36 steel can be similar.

The ST52 shipbuilding steel used in its armored compartment and light armored compartment is comparable to the common A40 steel plate.

As for the Ww and Wh steels with higher numbers, they also have corresponding models, and they have all been mass-produced, and the price is not so expensive that it is unaffordable.

As a surface carburized hardened steel for armor, it is even simpler, and it can be prepared by small steel mills. More perverted modern alloy steel, that many jù are against the sky.

Liu Fatzi didn't even have to work too hard, and most of the designs basically didn't need to be moved, and a little modification of some of the key points could ensure that the ship went to the armored cruiser.

Concrete construction is not something that can be done just by doing. The key to this is the manufacture of naval guns and turrets. After he got the drawings provided by the arms dealer, he also needed to arrange trial production on the factory side. Because he couldn't get the monster 203 gun, which is known as the strongest "Des Moines" in history, he had to settle for MK15. In terms of rate of fire, it naturally can't go up.

Independently researching an advanced artillery piece is not something that military enthusiasts can do. However, a certain cattle man contacted by Liu Fatzi proposed an idea, modeled on Des Moines, adding an automatic loader to the naval gun, and driving all the pitch rotation with electricity, then it should be able to increase the MK15 to 6-8 rounds per minute.

However, in this way, the weight of the turret is not something that ordinary small bodies can bear. It wasn't for nothing that Des Moines ended up getting 20,000 tons of physique.

In Yang Hao's view, there was no point in doing such an advanced thing at the end of the 19th century - as far as his opponents were concerned, no one could withstand the density of nine 203mm guns pouring 30 shells per minute! In particular, a pinpoint strike at a distance of 10 km!

The production of artillery was still carried out under the supervision of all-powerful military representatives. The whole process is as you like, but in the end, the test gun must be operated by the navy, and it will be directly sealed and stored in the warehouse after the test. On your battleship? Let's play with a bunch of seamless steel pipes. And there is still a steel beam in it, and it is absolutely not allowed to shoot out formed shells.

Yang Hao didn't care how they controlled it. Anyway, as long as it is built, he can project it to the B plane and use it. The key is that he filmed the entire production process from beginning to end, wrote the production manual, and took it to the B plane to study and study slowly, just eat it thoroughly. Anyway, both sides use the same production system.

In the next few days until the Chinese New Year, Yang Hao and his family were in a busy state. On the other side of the second plane, he just glanced over from time to time, and made sure that there was no big problem, so he hurried back.

However, in the past few days, they have participated in the historical process, and the evil consequences of the change have begun to quietly appear!

Japan, which had been silent for half a month in a row, and had only let the army toss on the Goryeo Peninsula, did not give up the toss because it had lost many capital ships. While trying to repair several damaged capital ships, they secretly contacted the British and contacted the Chilean Navy, which they had dealt with before, and bought all seven warships, including the ironclad ship "Brader"!

The Chileans are very good at making war money, and the temporary asking price is quite ruthless, and the Japanese mad dog into the poor alley actually agreed immediately. Of course, they were very well prepared before, not only did they have enough silver in their hands, but they also had war bonds in the international market, and the British ate a lot of them.

The reason why the deal was able to be made quickly this time was because the British made a lot of efforts.

The reason why Britain was so openly biased in favor of Japan had a great deal to do with the intervention of the Yang family.

One is the military expenditure that Yang Hao lent to Li Hongzhang, which made the British lose millions of expected dividends when they were ready to borrow big. Second, it was Yang Hao's strange expression of the "East Name" that made the British vigilant.

In the Far East, there appeared forces that they could not control, which was absolutely not allowed. Therefore, strengthening the Japanese navy and re-creating a weak balance between the two sides is their forte.

As a result, during the time when Yang Hao was at home for the holiday, the seven new warships bought by the Japanese were quietly crossing the Pacific Ocean!

Because the whole decision was quietly made by the cabinet with the permission of the Japanese Emperor Muren, and was not announced to the outside world, so that after finding each other's ministers, the Qing court was completely unaware!

Yang Hao's ability to predict history has also lost its effect.

Throughout early August, both China and Japan were working to increase their troops in Goryeo. Li Hongzhang, who had always believed that Japan would suffer a loss, was honest and honest, and the speed of dispatching troops was slow, but he only sent a total of 15,000 people to gather in Pyongyang. And among them, two-thirds of the soldiers and horses brought by Zuo Guigui and Fengsheng A were temporarily recruited recruits. In addition to indiscriminately filling the numbers, no one dares to guarantee how much combat effectiveness they have.

On the other hand, the Japanese army sent the headquarters of the 5th Division of the rifles, which were equipped with the new Murata 228-round magazine, and the Shuoning Detachment and the Wonsan Detachment of the 10th Brigade. The total strength of the army, close to 14,000 people.

If you just look at the number of people and equipment, it seems that the Qing army has the advantage. But by comparing the soldiers with Su zhì, it can be clearly understood that the Qing army was defeated from the very beginning!

On August 14, 1894, Yang Hao led a whole battalion of mixed new and old soldiers, aboard the "Dongmyeong", escorted by several gunboats, quietly crossed the Yellow Sea and sailed to Pyongyang. (To be continued......)
