Volume II, Chapter 108 Commendation

The success of the Turtle-class multifunctional combat platform not only allowed the Black Fire Shipyard to recover its costs without being built, but also had rich production and research and development funds. The Frominque Imperial Navy ordered another 200 Turtle-class ships, and the Black Fire Shipyard gained unprecedented fame.

This allowed the Black Fire Shipyard to quickly attract enough ship designers, and Da Liang also proposed two warship design plans.

The first is a light destroyer of 3000 tons. It adopts conventional power, and the design idea is relatively conservative, that is, on the basis of the existing light destroyer design scheme, it is upgraded and optimized. Due to the fact that the Turtle class is too outstanding in some performances, Da Liang's requirement for this destroyer is to be able to cooperate with the wolf pack tactics of the Turtle class.

The most important indicator of performance is to be able to block the pursuit from the air when the turtle class retreats. Therefore, this destroyer will be equipped with more and more powerful anti-aircraft weapons, forcing Silver Wing not to dare to pursue excessively.

Designing a single light destroyer with outstanding performance is not a difficult task for a team of ship designers with a bit of proficiency. Not to mention, Da Liang has a lot of stolen battleship drawings in his hands, and he can get an air defense destroyer with good performance by casually patching it up.

The second ship is Daliang's most important project.

None of the ship's designers who received the design had any idea what they were designing.

The success of the development of the aircraft is due to the contribution of the multi-cylinder direct-injection steam engine. With the same output power, the multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine has a smaller volume and lighter weight. The use of special steel has reduced the size of the steam engine of the Black Fire Company again.

On the other hand, when a multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine is as large as a traditional steam engine, its output power is of course greater. At the same time, the multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine is more water-efficient than the traditional steam engine, and the pure water can form a self-circulation in the closed engine, and the water can work for a long time when filling with water.

Da Liang asked his team of ship designers to develop an air combat platform that could fly over kilometers of airspace. Da Liang also gave his own design idea: the giant multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine can drive the propeller with fan blades of more than 10 meters, and the propeller can form an upper and lower air pressure difference when blowing air below, so as to create an upward lifting force.

Reasonably designed and with enough large propellers, it should allow a warship of several thousand tons to fly.

In the early stage, Da Liang did not require this battleship to have much attack power, and it was enough to have a certain amount of self-defense and strong communication capabilities.

The designers knew that there were large space warships in the ancient age of magic, but the principle of ancient sky warships was to enchant the hull of the ship to gain flight functions. Now let them design a battleship that flies by physical means, there is really no confidence at all.

But this is the boss's request, no matter how incomprehensible and whimsical it is, they can do their own thing with a high salary.

In order to become a qualified boss when the player arrives, Da Liang must make the Great Grave's military power break through the limits of the planet. To find those planes that have left behind, you need to have interstellar astronautics.

However, there are still many shortcomings in the existing aerospace warship technology of the Great Tomb, and if we can draw on the strengths of natural science and technology, we will certainly be able to speed up the development of space warships.

The Black Fire Shipyard is on the right track, because of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform, it attracts the attention of the world, which makes the establishment of the Black Fire Airlines a little inconspicuous.

But Black Fire is a Black Fire Company after all, and when Black Fire Airlines completed the enclosure with the assistance of the parliament and paved the runway to start frequent aircraft test flights, many people became interested in this fixed-wing aircraft.

The Marquis of Whitehead invited Da Liang to the Governor's Palace.

Warmly inviting Da Liang to sit down, the Marquis said: "The performance of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform is very good, and in the battle against the United Fleet, the Imperial Navy sank one of their warships. This silenced the anti-ship faction within the empire itself, and the empire has now found the state of unity it was in when it fought the Hundred Years' War. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead took out an ornamented wooden box and pushed it in front of Da Liang, who opened it to reveal an ornate badge inside.

Da Liang took out the badge and looked at it carefully. Made of gold, with a polygonal face, embossed with a musketeer galloping on a horse in the shape of an aimed. Da Liang didn't know what such a badge could do, so he asked the marquis, "What is this?" ”

The Marquis of Whitehead smiled: "This is the Golden Knight Badge, and only those who have made special contributions to the empire are eligible to receive it." Those who hold the Golden Knight badge also receive the same privileges as nobility in the Empire. I know that aristocracy is seen by some people as a sign of a backward world, but it does have a lot of benefits for you.

This is a commendation, not a ...... Canonized.

His Majesty originally wanted to make you a viscount of the Empire, but I suggest that he give you the Golden Knight Badge. ”

Hearing this, Da Liang couldn't help but glance at the Marquis, he had a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. In the past, the marquis was very active in recommending the title of the empire for himself, how did he take the initiative to block the title for himself this time?

Even sending this badge is so casual?

Da Liang played with the Golden Knight Badge, put it in the box and gave it to Sophia behind him to keep, and then said: "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Emperor of the Flominck Empire for me, I like this badge very much." The Marquis invited me this time not just to give me a badge, right? ”

The marquis watched Da Liang put away the badge, and his casual attitude seemed to be receiving an ordinary gift. His smile widened, and he said, "I know that Blackfire has successfully developed a fixed-wing aircraft called 'Airplane'. I remember that Master Liang once invited me to invest in this research, but I refused...... That's an idiot's decision. If I had been given another chance, I would never have missed the birth of this great flying machine.

I saw photos and documents of the plane. Its performance is better than that of airships, and its loading capacity far exceeds that of the Silver Wing, and it has very good development prospects in both civilian and military applications. The Whitehead family wants to invest in Blackfire Airlines, although it is a little late, but more money will definitely speed up the optimization and improvement of the aircraft.

If the Reich had these aircraft, it would greatly enhance the combat capability of the Reich's air force. ”

Black Fire Airlines frequently tests new aircraft, and the performance and photos of the aircraft are naturally known to the Marquis of Whitehead. Seeing the big belly, the first thing the Marquis thought of was how many people or weapons could be contained in it, and how it would change the mode of war.

But for the Marquis Whitehead's investment proposal, Da Liang very simply refused: "I'm sorry, Lord Governor." Blackfire has already invested in the Marcellus Council, and I have promised Speaker Peters that the planes produced by Blackfire will be supplied to the Council on a priority basis.

The premise is ...... At the time of the special period, the council promised the Black Fire Company Industrial Zone and the University Union to be a demilitarized zone. ”

The atmosphere in the room instantly cooled.
