Yang Hao was taken aback, and pointed to the muzzle of the black hole in surprise and asked, "You guys...... The main gun was built so quickly? I haven't heard anything about it! ”

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, it is difficult for the average person to imagine how thick the medium-caliber naval gun really is. If you only count the inner diameter, you can refer to the soup bowl commonly used at home. But to calculate the outer diameter, then the stronger comrades should compare their waists.

This is still the thinnest muzzle. When I saw the roots later, basically the strong man's shoulders were not enough, and probably the bicycle Gollum was almost suitable for it.

Such a stout guy is against the door, and the effect of this blocking is absolutely first-class, and there is nothing to say.

Liu Fatzi rolled his eyes: "What do you want to do!" To see the real full turret, it will take at least three months to go! This is the appearance of a seamless steel pipe, and in the future, the battleship will be built, and it is estimated that it can only be carried out for most of the time. ”

His words were full of regret, after all, a battleship made completely according to the standards of genuine goods, but it could only use seamless steel pipes to support the façade all day long, which was too aggrieved.

Yang Hao is angry, this guy still feels unhappy? Does he know that this caliber of seamless steel pipe costs more than 8,000 tons! A cannon barrel needs at least 30 tons to cause such an inner tube and an outer casing, and the cost of light materials is more than 250,000 yuan!

Three blocks and nine doors, that is, an investment of more than 2 million, this special grandma's is a real soft sister coin. It's enough to buy a second-hand sports car and go out to play a little girl.

From this aspect, it can also be seen how expensive it is to build a large warship.

If nothing else, to make a 406mm battleship main gun, the base material of one barrel is a full 100 tons of alloy steel! You don't have to remelt steel with electroslag. With ordinary cannon steel. Forging by a heavy-duty hydraulic press. Then use a complete set of processing of giant boring machines, milling machines, and drilling machines, plus a series of processes such as stress relief, hydraulic self-tightening, and chrome plating in the inner chamber. The cost of this is at least two million.

It's a tube. There are nine battleships in one ship, and you still have to get a spare, right? This alone main cannon tube is thirty or forty million, and it can't be stopped.

Besides, if you don't ask about the steel used in ships, you don't know, the special lower label is 151,000 tons! Some more than 20,000 tons are not unusual, and the key welding consumables are all special. After two calculations, the cost is over.

Still not satisfied? Sure enough, it's not spending his own money, he doesn't feel distressed.

Yang Hao is too lazy to talk nonsense with this hypocritical slut. Glaring into the workshop, he looked inside, and found that the full-scale barrel was currently supported by a bracket. At the end, there is a turret about the size of a room.

Only a part of the outer shell made of foam and wood wraps the lower half, and the upper layer is completely empty, revealing a complete set of high and low machines, steering machines, cradles, anti-rear seat systems, upper and lower shelves, etc., which are all newly assembled parts in their original form, exuding a cold metallic luster.

What caught Yang Hao's attention was that this system clearly has an electrically assisted design, which means that at least the operation is more convenient and faster when in use, and the number of personnel required is also reduced.

The tall turret sits on a half-open turret. There is a door behind the three-meter-tall base that allows you to see the structure of some of the loadlifts that have been installed inside.

Liu Fatzi gave a detailed explanation from the side. It shows that under the current design conditions, the shells and charges lifted by the bomb elevator are mechanically assisted until they are loaded into the gun chamber, and there is no need for manual exertion. The only thing is that it is a little bit worse, and it cannot be fully automatic, mainly because in that case, the entire mechanical structure is much higher and heavier, and it is not easy to carry it on the hull of the standard row of 10,000 tons.

Of course, there's another reason: "You're going to make it all fully automatic, and you're going to disappoint those who come up and want to experience a classical navy!" Since you want people to play, you must sweat vigorously and experience the fun of hands-on operation. We can also save money, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Yang Hao can see it, this guy's style is like this, don't look like a big deal, in fact, he is a good person to live a serious life.

However, he was quite satisfied with this, for the environment of the nineteenth century, the semi-automatic was more reliable than the fully manual, and it did not take care of the overall quality of the modern crew. It also ensures that they can be given sufficient operation training, which is convenient for training manpower, and it is relatively simple to maintain.

Further into the workshop, you can see a tenth of the model that is completing the last bit of assembly work.

According to the computer-aided design, the hull divided into dozens of pieces, welded with thin steel plates, assembled and combined, in fact, is a pure appearance of goods. The only use is to allow people to see the general structure of the battleship with their own eyes.

As for the real ten-to-one lofting, Yang Hao didn't let them do it, and directly determined the design plan and started construction.

Time is money and life! In the nineteenth century, the environment was becoming more and more urgent, the day he finished the battleship, the day he lived.

And even in the conditions of the 21st century, the construction of extremely complex hulls is completed, and there are no seven or eight months to think about it (the United States in World War II was 14 months). After the weapons and equipment are installed, they will be launched for outfitting and sea trials, and it will take another three to five months. Therefore, if the battle is full, twelve can get the battleship, and let a group of newcomers go up to train for at least three months before they can try to enter the battle.

Fifteen to eighteen months is the most ideal and fastest speed.

Just looking at it, a representative of the army stationed in the factory came over, and when he saw Yang Hao, he shouted with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Boss Yang?" When will I have time to go to the workshop to inspect the work? ”

This person came from the navy, and he was very familiar with Uncle Tang in Africa, so he spoke very casually.

Yang Hao shook his hand with a smile and teased: "Leader Zhang is really worthy of the high salary paid by your bureau!" So conscientious squatting in the workshop all day long, smoky and burning, can you stand it? ”

On the Internet, all kinds of ridicule of military representatives have gone away. It seems that the invention of every advanced weapon was successfully researched by them themselves. There are no technical problems that they can't find or solve. In the words of some military newspaper editors, they are the guarantee of success.

Private enterprises like Yang Hao's shipyard are tinkering with a big killer. Of course, it is the focus of their care. If you send someone of the kind who is in the same state or military industrial unit as it is in other state or military industrial units. It is estimated that Boss Yang doesn't have to do anything else. I can't stop talking to them all day long.

But fortunately, that Chen Gongzi has a lot of energy, and he can get involved with the operation, and he doesn't ask for help, at least don't mix and drag his feet in it.

Representative Zhang's age is only in his thirties, and he has a ruthless temperament, so he put his arm around Yang Hao's shoulders and sighed: "Brother, how sorry you are for saying this!" My brother doesn't go to the big city with that good treatment. It's time-consuming and laborious to run to your little place, and it's not fun at all, am I easy? Besides, look at the things you got here, good fellow, 203mm naval guns! It's a little bit of a little careless, and you know how much trouble it gets? ”

The bitterness on his face could make people's mouths sour, but Yang Hao snorted, "Come on." Won't the ship have to dock under the Navy in the end? You don't have to spend a penny, you get a heavy cruiser out of thin air, so let's have fun. So many military experts came from the factory. Are they all here to play? Isn't it taking the opportunity to train their hands with buddy's money? ”

Representative Zhang smiled dryly, and looked away: "That has nothing to do with me!" Who made your kid toss so much movement. Shocked all the big guys above? ”

To be precise, the military mixed in so many people, purely because Yang Hao asked for it.

Since he held a press conference to build the so-called "Zhongshan ship", it has been under the noses of some people, but not much attention has been paid to it.

But when he began to make the cruisers heavy, it was completely different.

This warship will use a large amount of special steel for ships, and whether the procurement of related welding equipment and materials can affect the current faster and faster construction of warships must be clarified. Because the number of intermediaries purchased by Yang Haixintong guò "firewall" is very large! The total amount of special steel is more than 20,000 tons, which is not a small number.

What attracted more attention was that this battleship would use two Type 453B steam turbines like the 167, as well as four supporting 454 boilers.

This engine is an improvement on the former Soviet TB-8, and the total power has been increased from 36,000 horsepower to 47,000 horsepower. Such a double-shaft and double-propeller can propel a heavy cruiser with a standard displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and can achieve a speed of more than 30 knots.

Here's the problem, you, a civilian player, spend so much money to build a heavy cruiser - well, by today's standards, it's just a 10,000-ton physique. Battle effectiveness...... The threat to a modern ship is not as good as a missile boat, but when it comes to the same important equipment as the one currently in service, then it is necessary to carefully examine whether there are other attempts.

There is no need to doubt the appearance and composition of the Yang family, the three generations are clean and clean, and there are no suspicious overseas connections. Yang Haiwei was born in the navy, and his reliable character is no problem.

If you want to say that the purpose of building this battleship is to use it as a film and television prop, no one will believe this. When you get a prop or even open up a tourism project, learn from other cities, just use ordinary steel plates to make a look of goods, and you can get it with tens of millions. But you have made a path that you can fight as it is, what is your intention?

If it weren't for Chen Gongzi's line, Yang Hao wouldn't be allowed to spend any amount of money. However, it is up to the fleet to come forward and determine the ownership of jurisdiction and use, and this matter is easy to discuss.

The person who the Yang family was able to offend before was a local third-in-command, and it was not a life-and-death feud. In the distance, it is Yang Haixin's predecessor, but that family is also a businessman. They can't do anything about this kind of arms matter.

In addition, this is a big business involving more than one billion or even more investment, whether it is the sale of special steel, or the sale of power systems, or large motors, related machine tools and equipment, are staring at it. Who doesn't have a relationship, this smash is a big piece, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.

If there is no matter of principle, then it is not a big problem.

But just let the Yang family tinker with it themselves, it really can't be justified. Therefore, after a series of inspections and evaluations, a large group of professionals of all kinds drove into Langya Shipyard.

These people, who are involved in almost every aspect of the construction of warships, are nominally here to help, but in fact they ...... What they are doing Yang Hao can only watch, and they have to provide convenience.

For example, in addition to the two electroslag furnaces, the people in charge of the barrels in another workshop are from outside, from forging and forming to boring and washing. This is to make it clear that Yang Hao's equipment is used to train them in the craft of manufacturing large-caliber naval guns.

In these years, the maximum main gun on domestic warships was only 130mm, and the newly built destroyers were only 76, 100 and other calibers, and the number was pitiful. Therefore, the people who do this really don't have much chance to get started.

Now it's okay, Yang Hao is a heavy cruiser, at least nine 203, nine reinforcing hoop sets, and eight doors 127. Combined with the five guns of the previous small ship, this number has caught up with the number of ships built for several years. Even if the process is different, the basic processing is still fine, right?

In addition, the installation and use of the two sets of main engine and boiler, because Yang Hao asked for the introduction of manufacturing technology, the manufacturer was worried that he would buy the TB-8 of the poor and crazy Russian Maozi, or which outdated product in Europe and the United States, he did not dare to open his mouth. However, the manufacturing and installation work is a good opportunity to train workers for the relevant units that currently have only one aircraft carrier in the process of repair.

In short, Yang Hao didn't spend much money, but a large group of professionals were uninvited. I really don't know if I should be happy or depressed. (To be continued......)
