1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Your Majesty likes this ship very much... It's so big!"

In the Sishui Naval Shipyard, Zhao Jiaxing stood at the edge of the factory and looked at the huge ship in the dry dock.

Sishui Naval Shipyard, after the Coconut City and Banchen Naval Shipyards were put into operation, its production capacity has dropped from the first to the third place.

This is determined by the location advantage. Sishui's location is not as good as Coconut City, and Banchen is the main naval base in the future. In addition, it is connected to Chang'an, and the tasks to be undertaken are very heavy.

"The same level of docks can only be found in Coconut City and Banchen, even in the entire empire, and they only have one each, while there are two in Sishui."

Gu Fan looked at the busy workers in the shipyard and nodded constantly.

There are only four 300-meter dry docks in the Huaxia Empire, three of which were built in the early days of the empire, and the other was newly built in Banchen after the capital was established in Chang'an.

There are less than 20 docks of this level in the world, scattered in Britain, France, the United States, Germany and the Huaxia Empire.

With the advancement of technology, the role of slipways is becoming stronger and stronger. Many ships can be produced directly on slipways, but large warships are definitely not included.

Only the hull of a large warship can be built on the slipway, and outfitting can still be completed in the dock.

Moreover, future major maintenance and repair work must be carried out in the dock. The scale and number of large docks directly affect the combat effectiveness of the navy to a certain extent.

Just like the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships, because there is no dock in China that can accommodate them, they have to go to Japan for maintenance. The Japanese can almost estimate their remaining speed and other combat data based on this.

"Outfitting work is expected to take one and a half to two years. Various problems that occurred during the voyage of the Suirenshi have been continuously summarized. It will take at least two years for the specific service." Gu Fan looked at Zhao Jiaxing.

Zhao Jiaxing came to inspect the construction progress of the new generation of aircraft carriers. Because the dry docks in Coconut City and Banjarmasin were occupied by high-priority ships, the construction plan of the new aircraft carrier was completely handed over to the Surabaya Naval Shipyard.

Gu Fan originally wanted to continue to manufacture new-class battleships. After the Norwegian naval battle, the development direction of warships changed. The navy wanted to build a new type of warship to maintain the advantage of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific.

"Take it slow. Instead of frequently coming back for debugging and modification after launching, it is better to solve the problem in advance. I don’t know if the heavy aircraft carrier plan can meet expectations."

"By the way, when designing this aircraft carrier, is there any room for upgrades? The technology has developed too fast in the past two years. She may need to take on more tasks in the future."

Zhao Jiaxing acknowledged the value of aircraft carriers, but under the topic of "aircraft carriers as the core force of fleet operations", he still tended to be conservative.

This is normal. First, he is old. Second, the current aircraft technology and torpedo technology are still not good enough. Not only does it not fly fast, but the torpedoes it can carry are not large, and the performance of the torpedoes itself is not very good.

"We have refined the watertight compartments and increased the ability of the aircraft carrier to resist underwater attacks. This must be done to the best of our ability."

"In addition, we have not maximized the potential of this ship in other places, just for future upgrades."

Increasing underwater defense capabilities is to prevent sneak attacks by enemy submarines. The Germans' unlimited submarine warfare has shown the world the powerful lethality of submarines.

As long as they are used properly, the total tonnage of several torpedoes from one or two submarines is only 1,000 to 2,000 tons, and the number of people is only 100 or even dozens of people, which can replace a warship of tens of thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of naval officers and soldiers.

The German U9 submarine cost 214,000 marks, and the total tonnage of three Cressy-class armored cruisers exceeded 36,000 tons, with a total cost of more than 3 million pounds.

The exchange rate of pounds to marks before the war was 1 to 5.

If the action is fast enough, it can even evacuate safely after the attack, just like the U9 submarine.

In order to prevent the hard-made heavy warships from being sent to the bottom of the sea by a few "cheap" torpedoes, a lot of time was spent on anti-sinking design in the design of the aircraft carrier.

Torpedoes are the most expensive consumables in the current naval shipborne weapon system, but compared with a large warship, they are still too cheap to look at.

"Since the construction work is all normal, I will go back to report to His Majesty. By the way, the ship name has been determined. His Majesty specifically asked me to convey it."

"The first ship is Fuxi, the second ship is Nuwa, and the third ship is Shennong."

"All confidentiality work is carried out as usual."

Zhao Jiaxing took a few glances at the hull. It is still just a big iron box. Even the pipelines have not been installed. There is no point in going up, so he is ready to leave.

"Fuxi Nuwa... Three Emperors and Five Emperors?" Gu Fan nodded and looked at the tall hull.

In terms of the design indicators of the hull, this class of aircraft carrier has made a large-scale technological innovation.

Since the hull broke through the 200-meter level, the hull design of this class 1 aircraft carrier broke through the 250-meter level and directly reached 270 meters.

This is because there is no steam catapult installed to leave room for aircraft takeoff. The steam catapult is not complicated, but it is bulky and inefficient.

In the era without heavy aircraft, the role of catapults is not so great.

Design parameters:

The design standard displacement is 38,000 tons and the full load displacement is 50,000 tons.

The total length of the hull is 270 meters, with a straight deck, a closed bow, a flight deck length of 275 meters, a waterline length of 259 meters, and a flight deck width of 8 meters.

The draft depth is 35 meters (standard), 15 meters (full load), and the total height of the hull is 35 meters.

Ten 2 large -scale heavy oil boilers, driving 4 Nezha ten 3 large single -stage single -stage deceleration steam turbines, can provide 1080,000 horsepower at a maximum power.

The 3 emperor uses many new concepts in the design, such as 400 kilowatts of power supply systems. The 1 ** diesel engine provides power -driven, which can supply basic combat electricity for the entire ship.

When the standard displacement is full power, the maximum speed is 34 knots and 31 sections when the full -loading displacement.

The full range of battery life is 12,000 nautical miles, and the double -layer hangar can accommodate 1 hundred and ten combat aircraft.

On other carrier -based weapons, the three emperors use only destroyer -level firepower, 8 dual -seated dual -seat 130 mm 45 -fold diameter ship guns, 106 -seater double -equipped 76mm 55 -fold caliber cannon, and a large number of machine guns and cannon guns and machine gun.

However, in addition to machine guns and machine guns, the other 130 mm or 76mm guns are still in production, because it is a new standard, production takes time.

As for armor? The designers do not agree with the radical method of canceling the armor. Especially on such a large ship, they designed a water line armor with a height of 5 meters for the warship water line, with a thickness of 30 to 50 mm.

This thick armor is also a long -distance shelling of the target.

However, armored is never a problem. The aircraft carrier has never been a single wolf fighting alone. Even if the battleship is out of front, several destroyers will be left to protect the aircraft carrier.

Coupled with the speed above 31, even if you encounter danger, you can throw away the enemy.

The No. 1 and No. 2 ships have entered the loading stage, and the installation work of the first stage has been completed.

Soon, the No. 1 ship will conduct a staged sea test. If there is no problem, it will be transferred to the next terminal to install some equipment.

It is not that the dock cannot be seated, but the No. 3 ship is waiting to use the dock.

..............

The trend of the Germans on the West Line gave the British a deep blow, and also gave the Germans that should not have confidence.

In just 8 days, the Rudden Daofov offensive broke through the British's defense line and pushed the front to dozens of kilometers west.

Within 8 days, Germany's own statistical total casualties are only more than 90,000, and the mortality rate is very low, only about 20%, far less than 33%of the average number.

The results obtained were to kill more than 60,000 British troops, captured about 10,000 captives, and seized a large number of weapons, as well as supplies of hundreds of thousands of people to fight for several months.

In comparison, the British discarded a large number of positions and materials in the 8 -day battle. When the Hege stabilized the front to check, it was shocked that the British Expeditionary Force was gone.

Most of these 400,000 are the combat troops. After throwing them out of them, Heige found that it was difficult to maintain this "wide" defense line during the 1 o'clock in his hand. Ask for help, one -sided 1 -step shrinking line.

Seeing such a record, Ruden Taoov felt that this was stable and had not yet stood up. He planned to have a Rudden Daofu offensive, hoping to take this opportunity to drive Britain or France out of the battlefield.

Under the stimulus of victory, Ruden Tonov was almost supported by everyone in Germany. Germany began to squeeze the exhausted war machine and prepare for the next attack.

"The Germans also proposed to increase the supply of materials? The transportation capacity of this railway is only like this. Then add the supply to them. We don't want to eat?" Zheng Lei looked at Huang Zhengfang and threw the letter on the table.

"Germany has achieved a staged victory on the Western Line. At present, the British are crushed in the northern France and isolated from the French army."

"If the Germans continue to launch an attack or even attack the entire line, can the British be able to lose a lot of materials and troops and persist under isolated and helpless. I think you want to call a question mark."

"In the junior high school, the British are the worst on the will of combat."

Huang Zhengfang also felt that he could not continue to provide more military supplies to the Germans.

"This is not important. The Germans of the war or the British win. It is not important for us. The important thing is that we want to win."

Zheng Lei stood up and found the map of the West Line from the map.

"The Germans are also inviting us to join the Alliance Group and promise many exciting benefits, but this is just the moon and the flowers in the mirror."

Zheng Lei spread out the map and pointed to the position of the front of the front.

"Luden Daoff's offensive seems to be successful. The Germans occupied a large number of positions, forced the British, and let Britain lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

"But in fact, the Ludden Dodifer's offensive did not break the essence of position war ..."
