0386 For the Federation![Chapter by: Blowing off the panties is Yasuo's title plus more-2/11]
For example, if the volume of the torpedo is too large, then its resistance in the water will increase, and at the same time, the requirements for buoyancy will increase, and it will become very difficult to design a heavy torpedo.
It not only needs a high-pressure gas chamber that can automatically adjust the pressure to ensure its buoyancy, but also has an independent thermodynamic capacity chamber to maintain a stronger driving force, which are all design difficulties.
But if you reduce the size of the torpedo and change its shape, it can indeed move quickly and steadily in the water, but its damage becomes very limited.
Forty-pound torpedoes have the potential to cause damage to some warships, and most of the cases of penetrating below the waterline come from torpedoes, but countries also have a corresponding solution, that is, a segmented closed bottom compartment.
If one place was breached, they quickly sealed the hatch of the place so that no more water would pour into the hull.
After the closure, there will be some changes in the waterline of the ship, and there will be some changes in the speed, after all, the breach will form a vortex and reduce the speed, but there will be no further changes.
If the power of torpedoes is increased, the problems will become many and complicated, and in actual naval warfare, many times the two sides are not given the opportunity to launch torpedoes at close range, and the main direction of research and development of countries is still placed on artillery rather than long-distance luck.
This time, however, they were faced with improved torpedoes, more gunpowder, more rational design, and more accurate and stable launch guidance, which would cause great trouble.
The Gavras immediately adjusted the order of battle, and their main goal was to expel the Federation charging formations, in case their torpedoes could even sink the battleship, it would be a great sin to let them pass.
The Gevras are very arrogant when they are proud, but when they are careful, they become extremely cautious.
This also gave the Federal Navy a chance to take a breather, and the rear quickly readjusted to actively deal with the current complex naval war situation.
At this moment, those ghost-like submarines were out of sight, close to Gavra's position.
Upon arrival at the intended combat location, the first submarine fired two torpedoes in succession at their target, the battleship Guardian Knight.
The technologically improved torpedo has an extra level in the head and tail, and their function is to constantly adjust the angle of the torpedo? When there are some changes in the spirit level? There will be a motion instrument inside the torpedo to adjust the center of gravity and change the forward angle.
At the same time, there is a small hole in the front end of the torpedo that intermittently releases air? These bubbles can also give the torpedo a speed boost? Make it more stable.
The underwater launch of the torpedo was very stealthy until the torpedo approached the battleship Guardian Knight? Only then did he surface and look at the torpedoes that shot straight at the hull? The military man in charge of the observation immediately raised the alarm? But it was too late.
A huge column of water suddenly rises, followed by a second column of water, and the new torpedo, which has been improved and has twice the amount of the mainstream torpedo, directly brings about a qualitative change.
The battleship Guardian Knight was pushed sideways by the shock wave caused by the explosion for more than ten meters, and the hull of the ship appeared to tilt significantly.
A torpedo hit the port side of the Guardian Knight? The moment the sea water poured in, the engine block stopped the fire? At the same time, the gap opened by the explosion was too large, and the speed of seawater backing up was so fast that the sealed hatch could not be closed within a minute of the explosion.
The damage to the battleship Guardian Knight immediately caused panic among the Gavrellians, and all sorts of sudden deaths followed!
After the submarine is equipped with an improved, it can be said that it is an updated iteration of the torpedo? He was an amazing performer on his first appearance.
After a brief moment of shock, those military observers immediately became excited? Because they found the mighty, invincible Royal Navy of Gavrela? Actually defeated by submarines and torpedoes!
If it is not clear to them why the Federals exterminate "pirates" still drag a group of submarines that are often only found in offshore and inland river engineering operations? Then they are too stupid.
It is possible that the countries of these military observers will have a hard time catching up with the naval power of Gevra in the matter of battleships? But they can also go off the rails of the sword like the Baylor Federal Navy? Submarines and torpedoes were used as a means of attack.
Torpedoes can cause significant battle damage to battleships, which means that battleships will no longer be invincible on the sea!
Before today, it was believed that only the battleship itself could defeat the battleship, but now it is different, this is a cross-generational innovation!
Ghosts hidden beneath the surface of the water attack the unsuspecting warships, and those people don't even know why they are being attacked, and those enemies are still far away from them!
But wars don't stop because they're wounded, and the Gavra warships that are limited in speed, or even have their engines stopped in place, are like targets.
Union soldiers may not be very good at hitting the same moving enemy ships on the move, but they are too good at target training.
There wasn't much scattering, and the next salvo was very accurate, naming four warships in a row, and after multiple shells hit the battleship Guardian Knight, which was already trapped like a beast, the opponent raised the white flag.
They surrendered.
There was no need to sink most of the capital ship group here for a tentative naval battle, a naval battle that was supposed to show off naval strength.
Don't look at their ships are miserable, in fact, they can be used again if they are dragged back for repair.
The soldiers of the Union Navy cheered, they won the war in unexpected ways, but it is undeniable that the strength of the Royal Navy of Gavra is beyond doubt.
If it weren't for the merits of the submarines and new torpedoes, it is quite possible that the Union Navy would have had to retreat and flee from this sea area, and in such a frontal war they would not be the opponent of the Royal Navy of Gavre.
But they won, and they cheered for the victory.
It's just that at this time, the commander-in-chief of the fleet of the Federal Navy didn't show too much smile, he was thinking about a question.
Everyone in the command room waited for him to decide whether to continue the fight or let Gavra's navy go.
The commander-in-chief hesitated, and the naval battle had shown him that they did have a clear gap in strength with the Gavra navy in a head-on battle.
Submarines and torpedoes changed the situation and allowed them to win, but what about the next time?
This exposure of submarines and torpedoes will definitely attract the attention of all countries, who will focus their efforts on the study of submarines and anti-submarine research.
As soon as there are suitable anti-submarine equipment, the role of submarines is curtailed in a frontal naval battle, then what will they use next time to defeat the Gevra Navy?
Catch shells with your face to defeat these terrible enemies?
So after the white flag was raised on Gavra's warship, the commander-in-chief did not immediately lift the state of war, and the soldiers remained at their posts, and he was weighing.
At the same time, a voice in his heart told him that if this fleet was completely destroyed now, it would be a fatal blow to Gavre.
With one less capital ship group, one of their remaining capital ships will inevitably be guarding the vicinity of their homeland at all times to prevent hostile forces from directly attacking their homeland.
Then the naval power they can freely use on the sea will become extremely limited, and Gavra's influence in the world will also decline.
It's hard to rebuild a completely new capital group in a few years, and it may take at least six to eight years for them to regain their current size......
Six to eight years of development opportunities, it's too tempting.
The commander looked at all the officers and generals in the command room, and pursed his lips, "I am a sinner, all the orders today come from me, and when I go back, I will accept the verdict of the military court!"
He paused as he spoke, and without waiting for any reaction from the others, he walked to the command platform and ordered the operator, "Notify all ships, continue to attack, and be sure to completely wipe out this group of pirates here!"
On the other hand, the Gevra people are sending various lifeboats to rescue the overboard sailors who are floating on the surface of the water and have not yet died, these sailors are the most valuable treasure of the Gevre.
Each of them has experienced a lot of battles, and has combat experience and a stable psychological quality that others cannot match.
If the battleship is broken, it is good to repair it, the death of these sailors is the biggest loss, and it is difficult to train a group of qualified sailors in peacetime.
At this time, the commander of Gavra was also summing up the gains and losses of this battle, and he showed great generosity, no matter how angry, fearful, uneasy, and hateful he was in his heart, he would not show it.
Just as he was talking about personally pleading guilty to His Majesty the Emperor, he suddenly looked at the group of ships on the other side of the battlefield.
The clouds in the sky changed somewhat, and then a dense number of shells fell on the battleship!
The battleship Guardian Knight was completely unresponsive to the concentrated fire, and the other ships were more or less damaged, and they simply could not flee quickly.
A large number of soldiers are still fighting fires and rescues, and they never thought that after raising the white flag, the other side will continue to shell them!
It was a real massacre, but there was not a trace of blood to be seen, and all the corpses and fragments of the warship sank to the bottom of the sea.
The military observers on the periphery had their eyes widened, and in any case, they realized that something big was going to happen!
The defeat of the Royal Navy is enough to be a big deal, and what is even more terrifying is that the Federation people are crazy, and on the premise that they have reaped the fruits of victory, they still annihilated almost all the Gavra warships, do they want to provoke a new round of war?
If so, how do you choose?
The military observation ship quickly identified itself and retreated quickly, and if it did not leave at this time, it would be bad if the Federalists felt that they should be left behind.
The sea gradually returned to calm, and that night, almost all the important people in the federation who had something to do with national defense were awakened by this news.
Some people even feel hopeless, because the war seems to be coming!
