Lords of the People: Starting from the Zombies

Chapter 139 The Big Guarantee on the Road
After arriving at the farm, under Yue Chi's order, all the soldiers were divided into two parts.

There are two battalions in total, with nearly [-] soldiers, and these soldiers are divided into two parts by the lord.

A company of soldiers is responsible for guarding the surrounding areas, and a company of soldiers patrols around, taking care of everyone's weapons at the same time.

The vehicles of the armored forces became tractors, and the dumps found in the farm were pulled behind them.

The other soldiers began to change their outfits amidst Yue Chi's yelling. They put away their weapons, handed them over to the patrolling troops, picked up their sickles, and started the endless journey of harvesting wheat.

"Lord, this time our territory should not be short of food in the short term!"

Watching the handfuls of wheat being cut by the soldiers, and then collected together and brought back to the territory in the car, So Luo said excitedly.

"That is to say, it looks too much. Who knows how much food these wheat will produce?"

Yue Chi said with a slight sigh.

"Fortunately, the area of ​​this wheat is big enough!"

Looking at the almost endless wheat in front of him, Yue Chi was very satisfied.

Wheat is only a nearby food, but this land is the top priority of the future territory.

We have to wait for the final amount of wheat to be produced on the territory to make a decision.

After the wheat is harvested here, at least one platoon of soldiers must be stationed.

It's a pity that the communication equipment in the territory is still too backward, and it is still necessary to rely on the orderly. It is difficult to convey the order without the orderly.

For some things, I have to travel back and forth between the territory, the farm, and Anping Town by myself. It is really too troublesome!

On the way to Anping Town, Yue Chi got three more light groups.

These three light clusters are not ordinary.

Big guy as always!
Still quite a big guy!

The first light group, Yue Chi casually killed a zombie on the roadside on the way back to Anping Town. After all, he would try his best to ensure that there were no zombies on the road from Anping Town to the territory.

But who would have thought!

It's such a coincidence!
A little zombie I encountered actually exploded into a ball of light.

It exploded when it exploded, and who would have thought that this light cluster was still an orange light cluster.

And what's inside is, as always, drool-worthy.

A Connecticut-class battleship.

Like the Bayern-class battleship, the Connecticut-class battleship was a powerful battleship of its era.

The Connecticut-class battleship was once known as Yodur, and it was the strongest former dreadnought battleship in the history of the Federation. It was also one of the best in terms of the comprehensive strength of the world's former dreadnought battleships, and its tonnage even surpassed that of the Imperial dreadnoughts at the beginning.

The dreadnought ship is also called a battleship to a certain extent.

Large caliber battleship!

Kansas has 12 406mm main guns. Although the main gun is written as MK7 in name, the feel of this main gun is actually very poor.

That's right, Yue Chi played with it when he was looking for a strategy game.

After all, it is a full virtual game console.

The armor-piercing projectiles of this main gun do not do much damage, and the accuracy is even worse.

The effective attack range of Kansas is not even more than 12 kilometers.Beyond this range, the spread of the shell can become very outrageous.

Kansas's survivability is not bad, and it is relatively reliable in terms of defense.

In terms of air defense capabilities, the air defense level is actually very good.

Who can use this battleship to carry fighter jets, and this kind of fighter jets are the propeller fighter jets they own. Of course, armed helicopters are even better!
In the choice of reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets, when I was playing, I would choose reconnaissance aircraft to increase the range.

But because Kansas's accuracy is really unreliable, it is still necessary to bring fighter jets to strengthen the air defense capability.

Because even if the reconnaissance plane is wounded, the improvement of combat effectiveness is very limited.

In addition, there is another very commendable thing about Kansas, and that is its steering.

Kansas's steering is even comparable to that of Massachusetts.

However, this barely improves its mobility. The extremely slow top speed makes Kansas' transition ability very tight, and it can only play in one line to the end, which greatly restricts its performance.

Every time, the driver is our protagonist, First Officer Yue Chi!
Generally speaking, Kansas was considered a low-to-medium ship in terms of strength during the period in the world before him.

The 12 main guns can maintain the output, but the huge disadvantages in accuracy and maneuverability make it difficult for Kansas to rank among the ranks of first-line battleships of the same level.

In random battles, Kansas's greater role is to provide the entire team with area air defense capabilities and instant kill capabilities in close combat.

As a functional battleship, Kansas is quite qualified.

And the next battleship cheered Yue Chi up.

This is the battleship Bismarck.

For this battleship Yue Chi, besides knowing that it is awesome, other than that, to be honest, he really doesn't know very well, but he has a strategy!
(The battleship Bismarck has a length of 241.55 meters, a width of 36 meters, a maximum draft of 9.99 meters, a standard displacement of 41637 tons, a full load displacement of 50300 tons, a maximum speed of 30.12 knots, and a maximum endurance of 8500 nautical miles. The ship is equipped with 8 380mm main guns, 12 150 mm secondary guns and 36 machine guns)

Looking at the luxurious font on the panel, Yue Chi was shocked.

This is so awesome, Plath!

(The original design index of the Bismarck battleship was a standard displacement of 35000 tons, a length of 250 meters, a width of 38 meters, a draft of 10 meters, four double-mounted 381mm main guns, a turbine-electric device, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and a maximum endurance of 8000 nautical miles /19)
As for the origin of the length of the Besmarck battleship, Yue Chi also has some opinions.

At that time, the Kiel Canal connecting the Baltic Sea and the North Sea (the artificial canal dug by the Empire at the end of the 19th century in order to shorten the voyage from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea, and to be able to freely navigate between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea during wartime, was expanded and excavated during the first decisive battle. Deep but the project was not completed until 1935) the restrictions on ships were that the length should not exceed 250 meters, the width should not exceed 38 meters, and the draft should not exceed 10 meters.

That's why there is the actual situation of today's battleships.

Secondly, the Bismarck was not designed for a pure fleet decisive battle, but took into account the needs of fleet operations, ocean cruise operations, and break-off operations (for large pirate ships).However, after the first decisive battle of the empire, the overseas colonies were completely lost, and the battleship could not rely on the bases of overseas colonies for supplies like other countries. Therefore, the ship has a good battery life and can cruise at a high speed of 19 knots for 8000 nautical miles.

Thirdly, in view of the fact that the maximum speed of new battleships being built by all countries in the world at that time was 30 knots, and considering the small number of ships in the Imperial Navy, the new battleships must often fight when their own numbers are inferior. Combat without a high speed is very dangerous, so the Bismarck also increased its design speed.

Due to the water depth limitation of the Kiel Canal, the battleship Bismarck widened its hull to reduce draft in order to ensure a large displacement. The aspect ratio of the hull was 6.67:1.Viewed from a vertical perspective, the hull is spindle-shaped, the thickest in the middle, and gradually becomes thinner in a parabolic shape towards the front and rear ends.

The superstructure of the Bismarck battleship follows the bridge of the Scharnhorst-class battleship, which makes it appear more compact and beautiful.In addition, according to the Scharnhorst class sea trial data, the Atlantic bow which is very suitable for use in the harsh sea conditions of the Atlantic and the widely used flared freeboard were adopted, so that the problem of poor seaworthiness of the Scharnhorst class was completely eliminated on the Bismarck.The stability and higher seaworthiness of the Bismarck hull are also higher than that of the Scharnhorst class.

The power and transmission system of the battleship Bismarck basically followed the first decisive battle. The standard layout of 3 axes and 2 rudders designed by the Imperial battleship, but the 3 oars were not in a line layout during World War I. Instead, they were changed to 2 front and 1 rear, but the rudder It is still the style of World War I, but the steering gear is mainly electric and hydraulic backup.

The battleship Bismarck has 12 high-pressure Wagner boilers, which are placed side by side in 6 watertight compartments. The steam pipeline directly passes through the auxiliary battery ammunition compartment also located under the dome and leads to 3 main engine compartments. There is a turbine steam turbine host in the cabin, and every 1 boilers provide power to a turbine steam turbine host at the same time.

The main engine of the warship power is 3 steam turbines, the maximum output power of a single machine is 45400 horsepower, and the total power of the three sets reaches 3 horsepower.Each host drives a propeller with a diameter of 136200 meters.

In addition, there is a steam delivery conversion device in the transition chamber, which can provide power crossover if necessary.

The design power of the power system of the Bismarck is 138000 horsepower, the actual stable output power is 150170 horsepower, and the maximum speed output power is 163026 horsepower.

In terms of battleship armor, it can almost beat the previous two battleships.

The battleship Bismarck adopts a design that takes into account both comprehensive protection and key protection.

The Bismarck has a dome (that is, a dome-shaped armor that has a clear radian and extends to the side) and a strong 320mm thick main armor belt that constitutes a strong side protection. This design actually allows the dome and the vertical The armor jointly participated in the protection of the sideboard direction, rather than completely following the dome armor design during World War I.

However, the height of the dome is limited, and important equipment does not dare to be arranged above the dome, so this design wastes a lot of space and some tonnage in the ship.

The upper armor above the dome has insufficient defense, and armor-piercing shells may penetrate the upper armor area in long-distance combat. More importantly, the defense of the area below the waterline is also poor.

When the "Bismarck" was fighting against the Allied battleship Prince of Wales, after being hit, it leaked oil and decelerated, accompanied by left tilt and bow tilt. In the worst case, the top of the right propeller was idling.

Compared with the Richelieu-class battleship whose main armor area is close to 6m in height, the Bismarck, which is only 4.8m, is often called the belt-type main armor belt together with the Nelson class.

The Bismarck battleship learned from the experience of the Scharnhorst class, and the amount of welding on the hull structure was greatly increased, reaching 95%.The entire Bismarck ship is divided into 22 main watertight compartments, from the 3rd to the 19th compartment, which is the main armored fort area, protecting 70% of the waterline length and 85-90% of the buoyancy and reserve buoyancy space.

Imperial scientists installed multiple armor and watertight partitions longitudinally and transversely in the Bismarck's huge main armored bunker.

俾斯麦号的防雷隔离舱在舯部深5.5米，向舰尾方向逐渐减至5米，向舰首方向逐渐减至4.5米，由22毫米St52船壳、空气舱、18毫米St52油舱壁、油舱、45毫米Ww主防雷装甲板、8毫米St52防水背板构成，为两舱四层钢板的布置结构。

On the whole, in addition to the relatively tight layout of the ammunition depot section, compared with the mine protection structures of other battleships of the same period, the structure of the Bismarck class is much simpler, and the design requirements are not high. It is only for resisting 250 kg Underwater blasting of TNT explosives.

However, the Imperial Navy pointed out in the technical report No. 222-45 on the loss of the "Tirpitz" that its TDS can withstand the underwater blasting of 300 kilograms of high explosives. Accurate defense level.

The Bismarck did not have a dual-purpose deck, and they adopted the traditional layout of the separation of the armored deck and the watertight deck.

Due to the thick upper side armor and upper armored deck arranged in the transverse direction of the hull, the horizontal structure of the Bismarck class hull above the engine room and ammunition depot has three layers. The first layer is made of teak upper deck, 50-80 mm Wh armored deck , 10mm St52 watertight deck and first main structural beam;

The second layer consists of a 20mm St52 watertight deck (i.e. the second deck) and the second main structural beam;

Since the first main structural beam is arranged below the upper deck and the second main structural beam is arranged below the second deck, the ship has a double-layer upper main structural beam.

The third layer is one of the few innovative designs on the ship. Below the 80-100mm Wh horizontal part of the armored deck is a 20mm St52 watertight deck, and the main structure is not arranged like battleships of other countries. Instead, a layer of structural stiffeners is laid horizontally, which is used as an integral part of the hull structure together with the armored deck.

The Bismarck battleship is the first pure battleship built by the empire since the victory in the first decisive battle. In order to reduce risks and ensure the development progress, conservative technology was adopted as far as possible, so the overall design of the Bavarian-class battleship was still adopted.

That is, the super awesome battleship drawn by Yuechi before.

It was originally planned to use 350mm guns, but the then Imperial Emperor Phillips requested the use of 380mm guns.

Because Bismarck adopts the dome armor layout, the utilization rate of the cabin is not high, and the height of the core cabin is very low.

In order to complete the speed index, the power compartment must be lengthened, and the seat ring will be squeezed in the fore and aft direction. In order to ensure the depth of the lightning protection layer, the seat ring can only be compressed, so that the width of the seat ring is less than the above 3-unit 15-inch gun, and the design is Bismarck. At that time, in order to come up with a design that could start construction as soon as possible, it was obviously not allowed to redesign a triple-mounted 15-inch turret. It became the most trouble-free choice to directly copy the ready-made design of World War I.

Therefore, the final design of the Bismarck is a battleship with a single turret equipped with twin 380mm caliber guns and a total of 4 turrets. )
Seeing that Raiders kept telling him the basic situation of the battleship, Yue Chi was shocked.

What shocked me was not only the awesomeness of this battleship, but also the awesomeness of the strategy.
