The artillery that Wen Hui had been thinking about had no chance to appear, and Kingsman directly began to inquire about the warship, and it seemed that he would not give up if he did not buy a few "good ships" and went back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But it doesn't matter, although the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, but compared to the warship, it is all pediatrics, not to mention anything else, just letting it run will cost a lot of money! Before, there were no ships to sell, Wen Hui could only count on the artillery in his hand to generate income, but now with these steel giants on the ocean, he can do any business!

"Can you show me the data on the battleship now?" If a warship is not a weapon, you can also get a sample to come and see, it is generally design drawings and paper data, and only after the construction is completed can you see the final appearance, even if it is a current ship, it is just a few more pictures. In this regard, Kingsman was a little eager to see the battleship data provided by Wen Hui.

"Of course, of course!" Wen Hui rubbed his hands and smiled and took out a booklet from the suitcase, this is the battleship he is going to sell this time, the booklet not only has the actual color picture of the battleship, but also the turret layout picture and some basic parameters.

This time, Wen Hui learned the lesson that the weapons were imitated, and all the dreadnoughts he took out were dreadnoughts, and he didn't sell the former dreadnoughts with the idea of upgrading and making money again. According to his original observation of the world, the level of warships in this world is the level of the pre-dreadnought period (the armor of the battleship is enough, but those steam cannons are dragging their feet), and even those old ironclad ships equipped with open-air batteries can be mixed here.

According to Wen Hui's original idea, he made money by "upgrading" again and again, from the original central gunned ironclad ship, to the former dreadnought, and then the dreadnought era. However, after seeing the "hands-on ability" here, Wen Hui dispelled this idea, and sold them something a little ahead of his time, which is to improve their technical level in disguise, rather than this, it is better to sell them higher-level things, which can't be imitated, at most let them have a simple maintenance ability.

You don't see, that's what Lao Mei does, after the thing is sold, what post-maintenance training, equipment upgrading, and then send an engineer to guide it at every turn, why can he do this? Isn't it just a technical advantage?

So Wen Hui simply let this place directly enter the era of fearlessness, the level of the ship is thrown out of here for several generations, and the various subsystems on the ship, firepower, armor, power, etc., not to mention imitation, even the maintenance has to be done by Wen Hui's instructors, so they can have fun!

In this way, it is much easier to make more money if you go back and forth! It's always necessary to maintain it regularly, ammunition needs to be replenished, and it is always necessary to pay for repairs such as combat damage or training accidents. That's how good, everyone has a relationship. If I sell something to you, and you don't need follow-up services, you turn around and you make a bunch of imitations to grab my market, then it's a bit of that.

This time, Wenhui prepared all the initial dreadnoughts, most of which were coal-powered, and they were very considerate of the technical environment here. Of course, if you see that the power system is not suitable, you can also give him a transformation, but this cost has to be calculated separately.

The first commodity is the famous "Dreadnought" battleship, which opened the era of dreadnought of battleships, although only one was designed, but its appearance is of great significance, and no one can do without it on this occasion.

The battleship Dreadnought was built in a long bow shape and the bow underwater ramming angle was eliminated. The biggest difference between the Dreadnought and previous battleships is the reference to the concept of "All-Big-Gun", which uses 10 12-inch guns of a unified model with consistent ballistic performance. 5 twin main gun turrets, one at the bow and one at the stern, and one behind the boiler room in the amidships, arranged on the centerline of the hull; Between the two boiler compartments, one on each side of the two sides is arranged symmetrically. The maximum firepower of the ship's side is 8 main guns, and the forward fire is theoretically 6 main guns, and the firepower advantage is doubled. The main gun with consistent ballistic performance made it possible to adopt a unified fire control system. The secondary guns were retained only for guns of caliber less than 3 inches (76.2 mm) to defend against small torpedo ships. For the first time, the Dreadnought used 4 steam turbine units on a large warship. Faster than any previous battleship. While increasing the maximum speed to 21 knots, it is possible to maintain high speed for a long time and maintain good reliability. Compared with the old reciprocating steam unit, it has more power and high reliability. The Intrepid Defensive Armor was no slouch of any previous warship, with case-hardened armor and 11-inch thick armor in critical areas, providing comprehensive protection. The watertight compartment under the waterline of the hull compartment has canceled the horizontal contact door, strengthened the watertight structure, and improved the anti-sinking ability of the warship.

In May 1905, the design blueprint for the Intrepid was approved. On 2 October 1905 the Intrepid was laid at the Portsmouth Naval Yard and launched on 10 February 1906, and sea trials began on 1 October 1906. After a lengthy inspection of new equipment and commissioning on 3 December 1907, the Dreadnought became the flagship of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet until 1912.

Of course, this information is not known to Kingsman, and the pamphlet in his hand only has some basic parameters of the battleship, but these are enough to make Kingsman unable to shut up in surprise!

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~" turned the first page, and Kingsman's mouth turned into a pump, constantly making such pumping sounds. With a displacement of more than 18,000 tons, this one ship is a little more than the two ships in service compared to the warships in service in the Ruman Navy.

One hundred and sixty meters long and twenty-five meters wide, such a slender hull is unimaginable to Kingsman, if Ruman's shipyard is allowed to manufacture this behemoth of more than 18,000 tons, the production must be a round "fat man", God knows why the shipbuilding industry in this world is biased towards chubby hulls.

I don't know what kind of Parsons steam turbine is, and where did the B\&W mixed combustion water boiler come out of the unknown design, but counting Kingsman still knows, 18 boilers must bring surging power, and the Ruman Naval Design Department is still racking its brains to break the number of boilers on the ship to double digits!

The power of 23,000 horsepower and the speed of the highest 21 knots almost didn't make Kingsman's eyes out, and their fastest warship now has a speed of 15 knots, making the navy's "round fat man" run faster, but it makes the designers here scratch their heads, who would have thought that a small arms dealer could come up with such a scary warship with data! Not to mention the endurance of 6,000 nautical miles, which is simply an unscientific number!

Looking down at the 305mm 45 times the diameter of the main gun, Kingsman couldn't sit still anymore, the caliber was not a problem for them, the caliber of the steam cannon was not small, the key was this double diameter, 45 times the diameter of the main gun, what a long barrel it had to be! It seems that it is an inevitable trend for gunpowder weapons to replace steam weapons, and only weapons fired with gunpowder can make such a long barrel!

Forward is the fire of six main guns, and on the side is the fire of eight main guns, a little less but the high caliber guns can make up for this shortcoming, compared to the range is ...... Then Kingsman wiped his eyes, the range of more than 17,000 meters, after a simple conversion, Kingsman sighed in his heart, God! This is a ship that can change the tide of battle!

This over-the-horizon range makes the "veneer dance" of the navy here (because the engagement distance is very close, the Ruman Army jokingly calls the navy's engagement mode a veneer dance) how to break? Can't catch up, can't reach, this can't be beaten at all!

The crew of seven hundred and seventy-three people is not much, after all, the size of the ship is there, in Kingsman's opinion, the only drawback is that the armor is a little thin, but the firepower and power of this ship completely make up for this shortcoming, and at present, no ship can catch up with it, so it doesn't matter how thick the armor is.

Steady in his mind, Kingsman's hands trembled and he continued to turn the page back, because this was the first commodity, and there were several more ships of the same type!
