Chapter 450: The "Sharp Sword" Plan
At the same time that Wang Guorui and the Dutch had preliminarily negotiated a plan to give away the Dutch Sovereign-class battleship, a telegram was sent to the island of Taiwan, and then it was taken by a senior non-commissioned officer who looked dumb and sent to the "51st District". Of course, this 51 district is a spoof of Wang Guorui and named it 51 districts, and this 51 district is divided into three districts. Natural persons are absolutely not allowed to enter the inner area, because it is where the Red Police base is located. The central area is entered by some special natural persons, and here are some high-level scientific research institutions, responsible for researching various black technologies proposed by Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui proposed some new technologies based on the experience of later generations, although Wang Guorui may not understand this specific parameter, but it can point out the direction for scientists, and then allow them to save a lot of time in experiments. After the research of these scientists in the central area is completed, the red alert system can also be detected quickly, and then it can be produced. Because it involves a lot of scientific and technological research that transcends the times, it is also inaccessible to ordinary people.
As for the outer area, this openness is also relatively large, and every time the weapons and equipment that come out of the red police system can also be carried by the transport teams of each unit in the outer area, and then sent to each unit for use or loaded on ships to leave. People in the inner area can freely enter and exit the central and outer districts, while the central and outer districts cannot enter and exit the inner zone at will. And then, this telegram was sent to the central district, and this wooden and dumb senior non-commissioned officer, in fact, is a senior telegraph soldier made out of the Red Police base, very proficient in telegram translation, so he also translated the telegram all the way, and the speed was very fast.
Niu Tianli, director of the Central District Ship and Battleship Research Institute of District 51, was looking at this telegram. Niu Tianli was originally a chief engineer of the Jiangnan Shipyard, but later resigned in anger because he was not used to the corruption of the Jiangnan Shipyard. In the end, the relationship between the Beiyang Naval Division was passed. It was dug up. Later, he served as a professor at the Ship Academy in Taihai University, and then after two years of observation and assessment, he finally passed the assessment under the psychological test of the red alert system, and was selected to serve as the director of the Ship and Battleship Research Institute in the Central District of the 51st District.
"Lord Wang has sent a telegram to us to speed up our research, and our monarchy is going to be used as a dowry for our Lord Wang to the Queen of the Netherlands. And we must work out this new 'sword' plan as soon as possible. We've been working on this 'Sword' project for two years, and since I came in as the director, we have set up a special working group for the 'Sword Project', which has taken a lot of effort, so you have to get it out as soon as possible. Only by coming up with this 'sharp sword' plan can we ensure the security of Taiwan's maritime frontiers." Our island of Taiwan is surrounded by sea water, and the South China Sea also depends on the navy to protect it, so our navy is actually not bad at all compared to the army, so we must study this sword plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will not be able to achieve the lead in the navy. Niu Tianli said.
And immediately a designer immediately said: "Lord Niu, after two years of preparation, we can be regarded as able to achieve results." We're using mature technology, and after two years of changing the manuscript, we've finally figured out a lot of suitable needs. And our steam turbines can also be used in our own design. However, Lord Wang suggested that we use diesel engines as the engines of our warships, but we could not do this at all. The quality of the current diesel engine is also good if it can be used on tanks, do you still want to use it on battleships? Is this nonsense? ”
"Alright, stop complaining. Mr. Wang did not force us to use diesel engines, and Mr. Wang was not the kind of person who commanded blindly. He just made a suggestion, and since it can't be realized, then it's just that, Lord Wang won't force you. However, the diesel engine is indeed a good thing, according to our calculations, the heat utilization rate of the diesel engine can reach 50%, and the best of our marine steam engine is 30%. If you can use a diesel engine, you can save a lot of fuel costs. Moreover, the diesel engine is also a lot smaller, which can completely save us the space on the transmission! It's a pity that the diesel engine is not mature now, so it's better to use a steam turbine. Niu Tianli said.
"Now that the steam turbine has been solved. That Lord Wang's design idea is really very powerful! Lord Wang proposed the use of all-heavy artillery for combat, and this idea was the best. Because the ballistic performance of each gun is the same, once aiming, the ballistics only need to be calculated once before it can be fired. And this method can save a lot of time in calculating the trajectory, and it can aim ten guns together, and then it is completely possible to concentrate fire on the enemy, so that the enemy will inevitably be sunk by the huge firepower in an instant. ”
This kind of all-heavy artillery combat method is actually to attack by concentrating firepower, which has the effect of increasing the hit rate. At present, the artillery is only double-mounted, and the artillery developed in the future is a triple or even quadruple artillery, in fact, it is just a hope to be able to concentrate firepower. In the history of naval warfare, it has been found that concentrated fire attacks are the most fundamental, and scattered attacks have too low a hit rate to effectively kill and injure the enemy. Concentrating firepower on a target can actually effectively sink the enemy. This is the practice of cutting off one of their fingers rather than hurting their ten fingers, and sinking one of the enemy's ships by concentrating firepower, so that they will inevitably face the result of losing a large ship in an instant, and as long as such a repeated situation occurs, the enemy will inevitably be able to attack effectively.
This is also an important operational idea of all-heavy artillery, so all-heavy artillery is the future development trend, so Wang Guorui will naturally develop this.
"However, the most surprising thing for me is that this Lord Wang actually deployed this gun on the central axis of the battleship, so that we can save a lot of weight. Every time we fight, only one side of the artillery will be effective, and the other side of the artillery will not be effective. So if we deploy this artillery on the central axis, then we can turn the artillery while it is turning, and then we can fight on both sides. And in this way, we can completely save a lot of guns, but it will not reduce the density of our firepower per shot, so we can reduce the weight! ”
"Our sword-class battleship has a total of twelve main guns, six twin guns. There were two twin turrets in the bow and stern, respectively. The first turret was placed on the deck of the ship, while the other turret was placed on a higher position, so that it could be carried on top of the previous turret from a distance, so the king named it the knapsack turret. With this design, we can not only increase the fire power of the bow and stern, but also do not affect the fact that they want to fire shells from both sides of the ship, which is a very effective means. ”
Niu Tianli immediately asked: "How long will it take for you to get the design drawings of this battleship?" Mr. Wang said that as long as we get qualified design drawings, then we can make them! ”
"But with our current shipbuilding capacity, can we build it? This battleship is a very complex capability and represents the highest industrial power of a country. We can design it, but we can't make it! Someone asked suspiciously.
"We can't make it, but someone can make it, you don't have to worry about it!"
"It's weird who could make it! If they can make it, it means that their industrial strength is very strong, why does Lord Wang still want us to design it? "Someone was clearly puzzled.
"Okay, don't ask so much, how long will it take you to get the good drawings?" Niu Tianli asked.
Someone immediately replied: "At the moment we have been able to get the drawings of the various parts ready, we just need to work overtime, and then we can get the general design drawings in a week." As long as there are general design drawings, the design is considered to have been completed. We can get it out within a week if needed. ”
"Okay, we're going to work overtime to get this out during this time, so that we can also go and deal with Lord Wang. This time, Lord Wang has made a lot of money for this 'sword' plan, as long as this battleship is designed, he will not only give us a huge advanced reward, but also get the shipyard's lifelong dividend rights. When the time comes, you will be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”
Hearing this, many designers blushed, because the dividend power of this Taiwanese shipyard is something that many people are staring at! At present, Taiwanese shipyards are also relatively famous in the world, although they are not as good as the legendary "Hans Shipyard" in the world, but they are also of excellent quality and have won many customers. The profits of this shipyard are very huge, even if it is only the right to obtain dividends, and cannot obtain the ownership of shares, it is very profitable.
Hearing the power of dividends, everyone was also moved, as long as the right to get dividends, even if there are only five thousandths of the shares, you can eat a lot of money, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. Therefore, even if everyone works overtime, there will be no problem, and everyone hopes to be able to do so. (To be continued......)
