2. Animal ferocity (8)

PS: Don't think that the cannon is a simple physical work, it is a technical work that requires a lot of calculations and corrections...... Later update battleship abuse wood-hulled ship......

What kind of battleship is the strongest, and can surpass all the sail battleships of today? The question has always puzzled the young engineers of the Wehrmacht's warship design bureau.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Gilmania, the elves were blank in the field of building floating warships. More than 1,000 years of blank dynastic age is worse than that of the German Navy, which suffered greatly from the Treaty of Versailles, and it is completely starting from scratch.

A blank starting point is of course miserable, but at the same time, it can also be free from any inherent thinking and international arms treaty restrictions, through the construction of epoch-making floating warships to build the strongest air fleet, in one fell swoop to surpass the great powers.

In the first absurd design, the elven designers were keenly aware that the main weapons of future naval warfare were not slapsticks, trebuchets, griffin cavalry and dragoons that threw javelins and fired magic, but large-caliber artillery and ironclad battleships with MDS on board, for which they even came up with an 800mm caliber cannon and an aerial monster design equipped with 350 MDS.

The manic part aside, they were on the right track. In terms of range, firepower, rate of fire, projection range, etc., the combination of artillery and MDS is completely superior to the mainstream ship warfare weapons in the world today, and the rest is just to give them a little hint of the right direction, waiting for the maturity and practicality of related technologies and subsystems.

Armor plates, high-power engines, catapults, optical rangefinders, radio communications, fire control systems, radars, ship model wind tunnels......

After all of this refinement, the Deverlinger-class armored ships, an important part of the Elves' vision of future air power, were finally able to croak off the drawing board.

This is a modular design, built with extensive welding technology, and the concept of all-heavy artillery, the two 186-meter-long, 20.7-meter-wide slender spindle-shaped power-carrier blocks, sandwiched between 32 meters long and 10.6 meters wide bull's tongue-shaped guns, the unique twin fuselage streamlined shape of the command block does not look bloated. With the cooperation of two sets of double reversing variable torque propeller main propulsion units at the stern and auxiliary propulsion propeller units extending out of the hull like snails at the amidships, the 26,000-ton giant ship can run an astonishing top speed of 65 knots (120.38 kilometers per hour). During the engagement, one of the two rudders was broken and stuck. It can still get out of the battlefield at half speed. The intricate pressurized cabin structure allows the high-speed warship to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, while the wooden sailboat can climb to 3,500 meters.

In addition to the excellent basic performance, the firepower of the Deflinger class can be described as powerful, and the central area is equipped with six twin 280mm guns with 54.5 times the diameter of the barrel. This high-performance naval gun can fire 330 kg shells at an elevation angle of 42,500 meters, and more lethally, it has a rapid fire ability. The rate of fire of 3 rounds per minute is almost equal to the level of rapid-fire guns for heavy naval guns. Six turrets are mounted along the central axis, with three front and rear, two on the upper deck, and two on the lower deck.

In addition to the ferocious main gun, the designer also installed 12 twin 128mm high-level dual-purpose secondary turrets for this type of battleship, and a large number of twin 37mm and 4 20mm small-caliber rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns were inserted into the seams, in addition to the 48-engine electromagnetic catapult on the outer hull of the MDS Tongguò that could quickly attack the Gongwei mothership at any time. Or launch a surprise attack on enemy ships. Such a well-thought-out firepower is foolproof.

However, it is not easy to build a big ship, and the designers who are not at ease enough with their own baby bumps are also very careful in protection, and have specially developed armor plates that can be welded, which not only cover the main armor belt of the entire battleship's streamlined bomb-avoidance shape with a thickness of about 80mm, but also a 40mm thick partition on the inside. In the middle of the two floors is a load-bearing water tank. The armor of the hangar, propulsion unit, ammunition depot and other parts of the key locations is 190mm, and the armor of the bridge command tower is 220mm thick. In the end, after painstakingly configuring the phantom spell [Phantom City], which greatly enhanced the concealment, those designers were finally satisfied and could take a breath.

After a long process of planning, tearing down, rebuilding, determining, building, testing, and commissioning, the Alfheim Defense Air Force finally has a warship designed and built on its own to meet its own strategic and tactical needs.

The Deflinger class can approach the enemy unnoticed, quickly sink enemy ships with powerful firepower, and use its high speed to get out of danger before the enemy fleet reacts and starts a round-up. The dense artillery fire when a sufficient number of D-Fllinger classes formed a fleet was also formidable.

Now, unaware of the imminent danger and rushing to the ground, the Vostok is about to become an important reference for the D'Fllinger to prove whether its design ideas are correct.

In the brightly lit shooting command room, a number of items are gathered from all corners of the battleship, and an optical rangefinder with a baseline of 10.5 meters is set up on the bridge hanging upside down in the lower part of the central block, and the observer points the center crosshair at the moving enemy ship, from where the bearing, course, and speed of the target are transmitted, and the type of shell, the type of charge and the charge amount (related to the muzzle velocity of the shell), the age of the gun, the age of the gun, and the potential difference (the height difference between the azimuth plate and the turret), The concentration angle (the horizontal angle between the azimuth disc and each main turret), and the other observation bridges send a total of 21 reference values related to ballistic calculations, such as wind, wind direction, air temperature, air pressure, humidity, and inertia deviation caused by planetary rotation speed, etc., which are input into the fly-by-wire ballistic calculator one by one, and the feedback correction values obtained are displayed on the terminal panel. The crew of the firing command post saw a series of gauge hands that were synchronized with the indicators in the main turret swaying incessantly, and finally came to a standstill to point to a set of numbers. The electrically driven turret rotates slowly according to these numbers, and the thick barrel adjusts its pitch angle.

"Half-Salvo!"

At the end of all the commissioning, Major Schneider, the first gunner, gave the order with a habitual sneer, and the alarm bell that rang inside the ship disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the two front main gun crews below the Deverlinger burst into a dazzling light like the sun, even at a distance of 7,000 meters, still shocked the crew of the Vostok who were preparing for the collision and using trebuchets and slapsticks to relieve their companions.
