229. If only there were submarines
The discussion between Bismarck and Neptune came to an end for the time being, and Mu Feng made Bismarck's transformation.
Other people's money has already been paid, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't hurry up and settle the bill.
Bismarck wanted to see how Mu Feng could transform himself, so he simply didn't say anything, didn't mention any opinions, and directly handed it all over to Mu Feng to do.
Mu Feng asked Bismarck to lie down, entered the system and began to adjust.
As a well-known battleship, Bismarck's design style and various problems have long been clear.
Bismarck did have a lot of problems, but there were also some misunderstandings, such as Bismarck's waste of tonnage.
Bismarck's maximum displacement was actually 50,900 tons, compared to Veneto 45,752 tons and Richelieu 48,950 tons.
In this way, Bismarck has 5,000 tons more than Veneto and 2,000 tons more than Richelieu.
But......
Bismarck's ultimate oil load was 8,400 tons, Richelieu 6,800 tons, and Veneto only 4,100 tons.
After deducting the fuel, the difference in passenger tonnage between the three European ships is only more than 1,000 tons, and most of them are fuel tanks.
Bismarck's fuel load and range are twice that of Veneto, so Veneto is a short-legged Lori, while Bismarck is a long-legged royal sister.
The Bismarck's hull is 10 meters longer than Veneto's, the fuel tank is twice as large, and with more armor, the hull is only more than 1,000 tons heavier, but the range is also doubled.
In this way, Bismarck's waste of tonnage is a false proposition.
The 47% of German batons are certainly hateful, but it is just as hateful to regard black Germany as politically correct.
Mu Feng opened Bismarck's hull interface, and first looked at what Bismarck had adjusted before, and then knew how he was going to continue to change it now.
For battleships of the same tonnage, Mu Feng has also changed Crimson, Frost, the three Veneto sisters, the two Ricelleu sisters, Mo Yu and the other task force members, and so on.
Now find a suitable plan as a template and follow it, Bismarck's transformation design will be completed quickly.
Bismarck's 12 boilers with a total of 150,000 horsepower with three axles propulsion were replaced by the most commonly used 8 boilers with 4 axles with 200,000 horsepower.
Snow Sea, Moyu, Radiance, Veneto Sisters, and Richelieu Sisters are all using this set now.
Then there is the hull, the hull of the Bismarck, like that of Veneto and Richelieu, is still typical of European style, and the whole is close to a spindle.
The head is pointed, and the butt is also pointed, without the long neck and round butt like Iowa and Yamato.
Mu Feng changed the Bismarck into a square butt, demolished the last main turret, and put the extra space for the helicopter platform and hangar, as well as a part of the anti-ship missiles, and a set of anti-aircraft missile launchers.
The forward bridge was integrated and rebuilt, and a full radar system was installed.
The lifeboat platform and seaplane catapult in the middle of the hull were all dismantled and leveled and used as a missile launch platform in the middle of the hull, and a part of the anti-ship missiles and a set of air defense missile launchers were installed.
The remaining three twin 380 mm guns were replaced with triple 380 mm guns that were commonly used for the battleship, and the position and height of the turret were readjusted.
Bismarck's secondary guns were all dismantled, all the anti-aircraft guns were dismantled, and the whole set was replaced with the one he had reserved for Moyu, Guanghui, Zeppelin, Veneto, and Risse.
Finally, adjust the cabin and counterweight, let the system fully integrate the detection, and repair all the details that I didn't notice to ensure that there is no problem and then click to confirm.
Bismarck's four turrets were reduced to three, and the main armor belt was shortened accordingly, and the weight reduction almost compensated for the increased weight.
In the end, the displacement of the Bismarck renovated by Mufeng basically did not change, and the full load was still in the early 50,000s, which was basically the same as that of Richelieu and Veneto after his own reform.
Watching Bismarck go into hibernation, Mu Feng went to Neptune's table and sat down:
"Now I basically have ideas and directions for the search for deep-sea flagships, so I won't do other scientific research projects for the time being.
"Recently, let's design some weapons and equipment that may be used in combat against deep-sea flagships.
"Then study the wreckage of the deep-sea flagship we brought back last time, and by the way, and this thing you can see if you can find anything......"
Mu Feng said as he took out the metal ball left behind by the death of the deep-sea flagship and handed it to Neptune.
Neptune nodded and took it: "Okay, Commander, according to the information provided by Bismarck, the way we need to find the deep-sea flagship is also simple.
"Reconnaissance planes, surface fleets, and underwater submarines form a horizontal three-dimensional search team to search along the trench that runs through the three commands.
"But the deep-sea flagship can dive, and the submarine can only rely on Germany and Italy for the time being, if only we had a submarine ourselves......"
Mu Feng listened to Neptune's words, and subconsciously thought of building: "I still have a core here, or I'll build one and see if I can make a nuclear submarine......
Neptune sneered: "How can nuclear submarines be so good, they are more important national weapons than aircraft carriers, and they are the ...... in the front row of the naval sequence."
"I know that the cost of nuclear submarines is basically the same as that of aircraft carriers, but it is more important, the Chinese Navy can do without aircraft carriers when it is poor and white, but it has built six nuclear submarines......"
Of course, Mu Feng also knows that it is impossible to produce whatever he wants, and submarines do not account for the majority of the hundreds of warships in the Chinese Navy.
It's not easy to get a nuclear submarine, so it's okay to get a regular one......
Thinking about it a little, Mu Feng felt itchy again, anyway, he still had the core.
However, Mu Feng glanced back at Bismarck, thinking about Zeppelin next door, and the Royal Navy floating on the sea outside, there were quite a lot of things this afternoon.
If you want to build it, you have to wait until they are packed up and sent away, so for the time being, I will continue to discuss the deep-sea flagship and scientific research with Neptune.
An hour later, Zeppelin was the first to wake up, and the first thing he did when he stood up was to open the modified ship's outfit and take a look at his own armament.
The first thing I noticed was the change of deck, the shape completely changed, then the plane, which was completely different from what I used before, and then my own guns.
Zeppelin himself changed it more than once, but the 16 150 guns were never willing to be dismantled.
She herself knew that so many cannons were useless, but she just couldn't put her mind on it.
This renovation made Mu Feng completely dismantled and replaced with a newly designed 130 mm flat-height dual-purpose gun, and the two sides of the bridge and the two strings added up to a total of 16.
Zeppelin looked at the cannon with a reduced caliber, and he had a feeling of loss.
But after a little try, Zeppelin immediately found that this gun was much more flexible than the original, not only against the sea, but also against the air, and the range and power did not seem to be lower than the original 150 mm.
This made Zeppelin breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the other anti-aircraft guns, 6 twin 105-mm SKC anti-aircraft guns were dismantled, 11 twin 37-mm hand-pulled machine guns were gone, and 28 20-mm MG machine guns were gone.
The new medium-caliber and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, like the 130-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, are obviously much more flexible than the original anti-aircraft guns.
The 37-mm hand-pulled machine gun I wanted to throw it away, but the scientific research focus of the headquarters was not on it, so I could only endure it for the time being.
Now I feel quite comfortable with it.
When Zeppelin inspected his transformation, Bismarck on the other side finally woke up.
Bismarck opened the ship's outfit with some confusion, confirmed it from the inside out, from top to bottom, and found that he had been adjusted by Mu Feng inside and out.
Not only the two types of missiles, radars, and helicopters that I wanted, but I had thought about and planned to change them before, but I also changed them in the places where I had not yet confirmed the plan.
And the direction of these transformations is obviously correct, and it is a transformation method that has been verified more than once.
Mu Feng also replaced the main gun, secondary gun, and anti-aircraft gun for himself, and even adjusted the appearance of the hull and the shape of the water line, and also changed the boiler and turbine.
These bits and pieces add up, the manufacturing cost and transformation cost may only be tens of thousands, far less than the 100,000 resources you pay, but the technical cost is definitely worth the 100,000 resources.
In other places, even if you spend 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, you can't get these equipment, and you can't get such a mature and comprehensive transformation plan.
These changes in the hull made Bismarck confirm that Mu Feng's transformation of himself was definitely done with his heart, not perfunctory.
Bismarck put away his ship's uniform, went to Mu Feng and shook Mu Feng's hand, and said very seriously:
"Commander Mufeng, you really bothered with this transformation, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's all as it should be."
Mu Feng smiled, and the thoughts in his heart were actually very simple.
One day, you, the headquarters, these ship girls, will all change into my equipment and use my things, so that you will have nothing without me, and even I will not be able to live ...... without me.
