Chapter 644 Adhere to how long the line is unswerving!
The reason why the sub -artillery controversy is because the current battleship protection is getting better and better. Some navy power, such as the kingdom of Kru, has begun to use steel surface on the new type of warships. At the same time
A armored defense, these three or four hundred millimeters of armored bands can appear on a boat with only three or four thousand tons.
The thickness of the armor on the main battleship is even more amazing. The Great Heng Empire Navy itself is a unified -class battleship in the construction.
The tonnage is larger, the standard displacement is more than 9,000 tons, and the full -load displacement exceeds 10,000 tons. The Yonglin -class battleship, which is known as the 10,000 -ton battleship, has a thickness of more than 400 millimeters of forging iron in its water line armor belt.
This is still the Great Empire.
If several other naval powers, many of them have used steel surface iron armor. For example, the newly -built warships built in the Kingdom of Cruch are basically the composite armor of steel surface iron armor, and the protection ability is even more amazing.
The protection is getting better and better, which also means that the power of the guns needed to break through these warships is also larger and larger.
At the same time, this has also been increased by the naval range, which further reduces the power of the guns.
In the past, the cannon considers a few hundred meters of effective range of armor -breaking capabilities within a kilometer.
Now, with the emergence of the rear -loading barrel and the emergence of the six -point meter tunnel, the navy of various countries generally believes that naval battle distance will be increased directly to one kilometer to two kilometers, and in special cases
More than 5 kilometers or even five kilometers.
At this time, the power of the gun also put forward higher requirements.
Then this made the navy the navies of various countries further improve the caliber of the main gun and extend the body to enhance the power of the main gun.
In the era of front -loading guns, when the tube could not grow, the kingdom of Krus and other navy of the strong nation chose to increase the caliber of the main cannon, from 200 mm to 250 mm, and then to 300 to 300 to 300 to 300
Millimeters, 350 millimeters, and even more than 400 millimeters of front loading cannons appeared before.
After entering the rear -loading barrel, countries chose to increase the caliber while extending the body tube.
The millimeter thirty times the caliber cannon is a typical product of this concept.
However, the power of this large -caliber main gun is powerful and can also penetrate those thick armor, but the speed of the fire is too slow.
It can be played in a few minutes, and in the actual combat, it is estimated that the rate of fire is even slower.
No matter how powerful the power is, it is useless to hit the enemy!
In this case, how to develop, this is a problem that plagues the Great Empire Navy.
Some of them think that they can be slightly smaller with a caliber, such as more than 200 millimeters of guns, which are used as secondary main guns.
Others believe that the caliber of the 150 mm sideline can be expanded to 150 mm.
These two schemes have their own benefits, each with their own shortcomings. If the large -caliber second -level main gun is naturally good, but there is also a disadvantage of too slow rate.
This is almost the same as the firing speed of the three hundred millimeters of guns.
And the one hundred and seventy mm large -caliber sub -artillery solutions, although this is the extreme caliber of manpower loading, so that the rate of fire can be increased to one point for each time, but the power is a bit small.
Then, then
There is also a more extreme solution. Anyway, it is 170 millimeters or two hundred millimeters. It is difficult to break through the armored belt of the enemy's main ship. It is better to deploy a few more three hundred millimeters of main guns.
Then add a bunch of 150 millimeters of sub -gun.
However, this will bring a series of problems such as the increase in hull, the larger area of protection, and the greater power required, which directly leads to the higher technical difficulty.
At the same time, even if the number of main guns is added, it is difficult to coordinate and unified shooting in actual combat.
This seemingly extreme solution is actually very concerned about Lin Ziran. In his opinion, this solution is similar to the ship layout plan of a vote battleship on the planet.
gun.
However, the reason why this plan is an extreme plan is that it is difficult to build the current technical difficulty, and it is also a three -worseless thing that is barely engaged in the estimation.
Many arguments within the Navy directly affect the design and construction of the navy's warships and the formulation of future tactics.
In this regard, Lin Ziran unified the navy's voice with his experience on the earth.
How to do it in other countries, but the Great Heng Empire Navy must strengthen its own route!
What route?
Many, big, long!
Lin Ziran used the presence of Daheng people as a summary: there are more guns, large calibers, long tube!
The Great Heng Empire Navy, either do n’t play, play with a ticket to play a line, and use a large amount of large -caliber canal to submerge the opponent!
In this case, in order to organize more battleships to fight, at the same time, it is more suitable for the enemy than the side side with a large number of large -caliber ships.
Those heads of the ship facing the enemy, and even a bunch of tactical thoughts that hit the corner, Lin Ziran did not directly criticize it, but it was said that this tactical thought was not suitable for Dayheng.
The first tactics of the ship against the enemy and even hitting the boat sounded desperately to play bayonet with the enemy, but the Great Heng people did not admire this tactical idea very much.
It is best that the enemy can't even touch his own side, so he kills the enemy's brain.
Therefore, the Daheng Army is pursuing a heavy gun with a large -caliber long range, as well as the navy.
In addition, Lin Ziran also asked a very important question to the generals of the Daheng Navy: that is, if the head of the ship is used to the enemy and the geese formation is used, the navy intends to command the large -scale battleship fleet in the naval battle in the naval battle.
Then, then
When Lin Ziran said so, a large vote of the Great Heng Navy general also reacted.
yes!
Their Great Empire is not a small country with a second or third -rate, and the main ship is not the same one or two. At least it has to get dozens of battleships.
There are more cruisers in the battleship?
I am afraid that the command collapse.
However, if it turns into the side side to the enemy, it will be much simpler if it is played with the line of tactics. One is lined up to the battlefield, so that the command is simpler and more convenient.
When multiple problems are integrated, after more than a year after repeated tangles, the Daheng Navy also determines the strategic development direction of the Daheng Navy: the side side is to the enemy!
The unity of the navy's temporal ideas also made Lin Ziran relieved.
Under the persistence of Lin Ziran, the new warships began to lay out the layout of the main turret before and after the center axis, including several dome armor cruisers and unified levels, Yonglin level.
After playing for a year or two, I walked back to the old way, playing the central fortress or the two -string messenger layout.
After this great controversy, the Daheng Navy was completely suppressed by the theory of the central fortress and the messenger layout.
Began to fully turn to the route of the main turret before and after the middle axis.
What the subsequent warship designers need to consider how to further improve protection, speed and firepower in this strategic idea.
At this time, Luo Hai's Luo Hai Precision Instrument Company came to a huge good news to the Daheng Empire Navy!
According to the instructions of Her Majesty's Lin Ziran, after more than a year of research and development, they finally got the optical ranging meter.
After the Daheng Empire Navy conducted a preliminary test of this portrait rangefinder with a gun, it immediately issued a confidential regulations for the product.
This thing seems to be inconspicuous, but it is a big kill!
Because when the navy was tested in real bombs, it turned out to be accurately hit the goal of 5 kilometers away!
In the words of Marshal Duan Hong Xiao, the strategic role of this portrait rangefinder can be worth ten battleships!
And at present, other countries do not have this thing. At the same time, this thing is relatively small and belongs to auxiliary equipment. The attention is relatively small. As long as the navy takes strict measures to keep confidential, then it can still keep the secret for a period of time.
As long as it is well -confidential, it is enough to keep the Daheng Navy a huge advantage in the range. This range of range advantage is at a critical moment, especially when the maritime battle is played, which can play a strategic role in the battle.
The successful development of the optical ranging meter also made Lin Ziran quite happy, but he is better than the generals of the navy.
With the optical ranging meter, this means that the distance of naval battles is nearly increased, from the distance from the previous one to two kilometers to 5 kilometers to 5 kilometers or even 6 kilometers.
In this case, the design of the warship must also be improved.
The enemy battleship and hitting the ground warship at a distance of kilometers away from 5 kilometers away, this power is very different.
This means that the power of our own battleships requires a lot of power and higher accuracy, so as to cooperate with the optical ranging meter to hit the enemy ship at a distance of more than 5 kilometers, while ensuring sufficient power.
And the main gun of the Yonglin -class battleship with three hundred millimeters and twenty -five times, the power is that the power is a bit unable to keep up.
This is also a very embarrassing scene in the Daheng Empire Navy!
That is, they have found the way to solve the long -distance hit during naval battles, but it is a lack of a main gun that can hit the enemy warship and break through the enemy's armored belt at a long distance!
As a result, the three hundred mm twenty -five times caliber main guns have just been developed, and it is already backward. The Navy even wants to suspend the ship's on -board plan.
The caliber cannon got out and got on the ship.
However, it is not so done. After all, the two Yonglin -class battleships have been constructed, and the most important thing is that the caliber is the same. If the target is improved in advance, you can also change the ship with 30 times the caliber in the future.
gun.
However, the Yonglin Class 3 ship that started at the end of this year and the No. 4 ship started in the first half of next year were suspended plans, and directly designed and modified.
Then, then
In response to the main guns of the follow -up warship, the Navy proposed the minimum standard: the minimum must also be the main gun of 300 mm and thirty -fold caliber!
To this end, the navy would rather slow down the construction process of the third ship No. 3 and No. 4 ships in the subsequent Yonglin -class battleships.
As for how to solve the main gun of the main gun of three hundred millimeters!
Based on the situation of the major large -caliber gun projects of the three major weapon companies, the Navy directly integrates the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau and other related enterprises.
The "Large -caliber Barrels" led by directly led by the Navy "is set up to the research and development of large -caliber guns with a large -caliber gun of more than 170 millimeters.
There are five major project teams under the laboratory, respectively, one hundred and seventy mm project teams, two hundred millimeters of project teams, 250 mm project teams, 300 millimeters of project teams, and 350 mm project teams.
Do big things with concentration!
This time, the navy intends to fight for the old life.
At the same time, in order to concentrate their strengths, they have cut off a lot, but they have not developed, but they have already lagged behind the gun plan, such as 170 mm 30 times caliber guns, two hundred millimeters, thirty -fold caliber guns, two hundred hundred hundred, two hundred hundred
Fifty millimeters, thirty -fold caliber guns.
Because the navy feels that these three hundred millimeters of guns are running for thirty -fold caliber. Those cannons with smaller calibers should be longer.
Therefore, the naval gun R & D plan in the project team in the main force gun research room is based on advanced standards. At the same time, while adopting the research and development of contemporary main guns, it is to start pre -researching the next new ship guns and make technical technical in advance.
reserve.
For example, the three hundred millimeter project team, currently mainly develops a naval gun with three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold caliber. At the same time, it began to pre -study thirty -five times the caliber body tube, and forty times the caliber body tube.
And the Navy firmly believes that the larger caliber cannon is the future, so there will be a project team of 350 mm caliber cannon, and it will be carried out for a gun of 350 mm or even 400 millimeters.
Preliminary research.
And for the various technologies required for the larger and longer body cannons in the future, we will carry out technical reserves in advance.
For example, now, the technology and equipment of the guns can now be used to engage in naval guns with three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold calibers, but if you want to get a thirty -fifty times, it is difficult to get 40 times the caliber.
The cannon with a caliber of 100 millimeters, this stuff has higher technical requirements and higher requirements for equipment. Even if it is a style, the Daheng Empire can not get it now.
Therefore, you need to prepare related equipment in advance, because these equipment often needs to be developed, so if you do not prepare in advance, it will be very troublesome in the future.
The Navy has begun to desperately start.
The shipbuilding plan adjusted due to a portrait ranging in the navy is not just a Yonglin -class battleship, but even a unified battleship that has entered the later construction stage.
It is to adjust the elevation of the gun to get a greater effective range.
The follow -up shipbuilding plan of other ships has also been changed significantly.
