Chapter 53
After breakfast the next morning, Zhu Lei came to the pier by the seaside of the weapon testing ground and waited for the arrival of the battleships. After all, there were no battleships in China in the previous life, and after the 21st century, battleships became even more difficult to see. arrive.

As the most powerful weapon in the world at the beginning of the [-]th century, the battleship is also one of the largest and most complex weapons created by mankind. From the [-]th century to the [-]nd century before the Second World War, the battleship has always been used as a military weapon in the sea. The main battleship of a powerful country is also the largest battleship of the navies of various countries, so it has always been the standard of naval power of various countries at that time. If that country does not have a battleship, then the navy of this country does not have any in the world. status at all.

The battleship has huge caliber artillery and thick armor, which has strong attack and defense power. When the tonnage of the battleship exceeds [-] tons, it is also called a super battleship. British Orion-class battleships, Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, German Bavarian-class battleships, American Nevada-class battleships, and Japan's Yamato-class battleships.

After World War II, various countries sold these battleships to private companies at the price of scrap iron, or destroyed these battleships as target ships and weapon test platforms. In Zhu Lei's previous life, he also used these battleships during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The warships were put into the war, and then they were recruited for storage. After that, they also appeared in the Iraq war, but after that, they were no longer seen in the naval sequences of various countries.

In this world, Ming had the largest fleet of battleships in the world during World War II. Although many were destroyed during the war, most of them were built before the war. One hundred battleships of various types, including nearly 7 super battleships. After the war, all countries built aircraft carriers one after another, and Ming was no exception. It was just that the battleships were not withdrawn from the navy's order, but it was greatly reduced. It is only the number of battleships in the army, and the rest are super battleships, and all others have been retired. Up to now, there are as many as [-] super battleships in service in the Ming Navy, and these battleships except the one bought by Zhu Lei All other battleships were built after the war, and these battleships are all nuclear-powered missile battleships, and the attack and defense capabilities of these battleships are not comparable to aircraft carriers, especially when a single ship is performing missions, it is even more overwhelming. All the battleships on board were left far behind, and all the Ming Dynasty still used these battleships as the backbone of every fleet.In the previous life, whenever the interests of the United States were damaged, the President of the United States would say that the aircraft carrier closest to the accident site is there, but in this world, Ming has replaced it with the battleship closest to the accident site, so it can be seen In this world, the Ming Empire attaches great importance to battleships.

After Zhu Lei waited for more than two hours, when it was almost noon, he finally saw a huge monster on the sea slowly heading towards it. After a while, he was able to see the whole picture of this super battleship. This is a very large battleship. Although he does not know its exact length from a distance, he estimates that it is at least 200 meters long and at least 30 meters wide. There are a total of nine cannons on the door.Except for a few auxiliary guns, all the other artillery pieces are gone. Since Zhu Lei is standing on the ground now, he can't see how many weapons are on the ship, but Zhu Lei is sure There must be no shortage of weapons on this battleship. After all, this is a super battleship, and it is a modernized super battleship.

Ten minutes later, the super battleship finally arrived at the pier on Zhu Lei's fief.

After the battleship stopped and put down the ladder, Zhu Lei didn't wait for the people on it to come down, he couldn't wait to get on the ladder and walked up the battleship.

When he stepped onto this super battleship, he realized that this battleship is so huge. This feeling cannot be felt on an aircraft carrier or other battleships. Looking at the triple-mounted cannon in front, Zhu Lei The size of each gun barrel is more than enough to accommodate a person like Zhu Lei, and there are all kinds of weapons on it, just the various air defense missiles exposed outside. I saw six or seven types on the battleship, and there was a 32-unit missile vertical launch system not far from the bow. After the introduction of the naval officers and soldiers who followed the battleship, he knew that it was a displacement warship. To the behemoth of more than 8000 tons, it is 42 meters long and 28 meters wide, with a maximum speed of 410 knots.In addition to nine 32mm super cannons, there are two [-]-unit missile vertical launch systems, dozens of exposed anti-aircraft missile launchers, and dozens of ship-based close-in defense Phalanx systems. It can be said that this is a battleship armed to the teeth.

Some naval officers and soldiers said that if this warship was sailing at sea, no fleet from that country would dare to approach the warship within [-] kilometers.Because this battleship has a range of [-] kilometers even with ordinary artillery shells. If rocket-extended range ammunition is used, the main guns of the battleship alone can shoot at targets more than [-] kilometers away. It is not comparable to the power of ordinary missiles, and the price of battleship shells is also incomparable with the price of missiles. The price of launching a missile is enough for the main guns of this battleship to fire dozens of salvos, not to mention At present, the shells of the cannons of the Ming Empire all have the ability of terminal correction.Therefore, it is normal for the fleets of other countries not to dare to approach. You must know that if such a battleship is aggressive, it is fully capable of annihilating a fleet within ten minutes. Within [-] kilometers, even the largest aircraft carrier in the world can't stand several salvos from the main guns of this battleship.

And the armor of this battleship is also very thick, and it can withstand the enemy's cannons of the same caliber as this battleship at a distance of more than 60 kilometers. Therefore, this battleship cannot be sunk under normal circumstances. I know that even if Zhu Lei’s external armor is not installed now, ordinary anti-ship missiles cannot penetrate the armor of this battleship at all, so if you want to penetrate the armor of this battleship, you must use specially designed missiles. A super-sized super-heavy missile that attacks battleships. However, due to its size, such missiles are easily destroyed by the anti-aircraft missiles and close-in defense systems carried by battleships, and even if they hit one or two rounds For a battleship with a large size, it is not a problem as long as it hits a deadly place, so now other big and powerful countries in the world are thinking about how to deal with Ming's super battleship. Of course, they may have thought of many ways , but so far there is nothing that can cause fatal damage to battleships. After all, the armor of battleships is really shameless.So when the new battleship of Ming Dynasty entered service a few years ago, the United States of the world held many meetings to discuss the plan to rebuild the battleship. or three or more aircraft carriers.What's more, the manufacturing technology of battleships in the United States has been disconnected for five or sixty years, and many supporting facilities for battleships are gone, so they haven't discussed a result yet.
