The research and development of large -caliber long -body tube cannons has always troubled the Great Heng Navy.
And this is even more obvious after the naval portrait firmer began to serve in secret.
Because with the secret service of the portfolio rangefinder, the navy's prediction of warfare will rise from more than 1,000 meters to about 5 kilometers. With the increase in the combat distance, the range of the guns and power will be higher.
The requirements.
This is why the Navy has previously resolutely allowed the Yonglin -class battleship to be associated with three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold caliber guns. To this end, the design is changed and extended the construction period.
, I haven't been in service until now.
This is because three hundred mm and thirty times the caliber cannon has not been able to mass production!
Although it has been successfully developed and produced and produced by the guns before, the materials and processing technology are not very mature. In addition, the performance of the processing equipment is insufficient. Although it can barely be able to process and produce, the quality of the cannon pipes produced makes the navy a headache.
Although these three hundred millimeters of thirty -time caliber are produced, the performance does not meet the design standards, which means that it can only be adopted when used, otherwise the gun tube can not bear it.
Even so, the life span of the body tube is very low, only one fifty -00 rounds of body tube life, which makes the navy hurt.
However, even so, the Navy also placed an order to order several cannons with three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold calibers. After all, the performance difference is always stronger than that.
Moreover, the hull of the Yonglin -class battleship has been built for a long time, and even the turret itself is almost built.
Therefore, the navy is desperate to purchase some poor quality first, and at the same time, wait for the quality of the quality of the quality. After the batch of poor quality gun tubes will be replaced after the service life of the use.
After all, the scheduled service of the Yonglin -class battleship has been postponed for one year, and it has affected the strategic planning of the Navy. It can no longer continue to drag.
Now the mechanical factory of Jingzhou Machinery Company is successfully completed, and it is expected that it will not be able to put into operation for long. This has reassured the Navy.
It is even looking forward to the guns with a larger and longer body tube in the follow -up equipment.
The Navy also has 300 mm thirty -fifty times, forty times more tube, and even 350 mm caliber.
These large -caliber cannons need to be produced by large -scale advanced equipment of the subordinate factories of the Jingzhou Machinery Company. The current Nanzhou Machinery Bureau and the artillery factory of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau have no ability.
Although the machinery factories under the two machine bureaus, although the machinery and equipment adopted is already the top equipment in Daheng's self -made equipment, there is still a great gap between the first -class industrial equipment from the strong country.
Especially in large equipment and precision machining equipment.
Otherwise, the Daheng Empire will not spend huge sums of money, imported top industrial equipment, and even specially transferred various technical personnel, industrial departments, integrating the establishment of Jingzhou Machinery Company.
Jingzhou Machinery Company is mainly a mechanical factory, a mechanical factory under the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, and Jingzhou Machinery Factory.
There are more than a hundred senior technical personnel, and a large large -scale comprehensive machinery company with thousands of high -level technical personnel.
And this company's production of guns is actually just one of them. In fact, their main role is to produce various machinery and equipment.
In particular, various types of industrial machinery and equipment, precision processing equipment and super large steel parts forging processing.
For the Great Empire, the importance is far more than that of the cannons that produce large -caliber guns. They are more to provide various types of equipment for industrial manufacturing departments.
To put it simply, it is to use these top industrial equipment to produce various domestic industrial equipment, which belongs to the core factory of industrial parent machines!
Otherwise, Lin Ziran will not run over to inspect.
During the inspection process, in addition to listening to their factory construction process, Lin Ziran also focused on some industrial equipment products that they prepared after production, and what they produced in large -scale machinery factories, which were all dozens of tons of overlap.
Large parts, used for oversized equipment.
These spare parts are stupid and thick at first glance, there is no difficulty, but without these thousands of tons of water pressure machines, don't expect production at all.
The more large industrial equipment, the more difficult it is to process it!
Later, Lin Ziran came to the supporting Jingzhou Precision Machinery Factory. If the large -scale mechanical factory in Jingzhou was seen before, it specialized in all kinds of silly large and thick products, then this precision factory is playing small and fine things.
They mainly develop and produce various precision equipment!
For example, core components such as steam engines, cylinders and other core parts have high requirements for processing accuracy, which also requires high -precision processing equipment, but the accuracy of Daheng domestic processing equipment has not been good. It requires a large number of high -precision equipment for a long time.
If Jingzhou Machinery Company's precision machinery factories can provide higher processing accuracy of machinery and equipment, then for the entire mechanical processing industry of the Daheng Empire, it will bring a significant improvement and save a lot of valuable foreign exchange.
At the end of the inspection, Lin Ziran once again delivered a brief speech to many officials and technicians present, hoping that the industrial sector can exert the spirit of hard work, produce more advanced industrial equipment for Daheng's research and development, and improve Daheng's industrial industry.
Manufacturing capabilities to realize the prosperity of science and technology, industrial power, and lay the foundation for the 'comprehensive economic development plan'.
After completing a day of inspection, Lin Ziran returned to the Mirror Palace not long, and the Navy came to the door.
The Navy invited Lin Ziran to participate in the service ceremony of the Chongke's armored cruiser. It was also an application for shipbuilding to build a subsequent ship for the construction of Yonglin -class warships.
Originally the continuous improvement of the Yonglin -class battleship No. 3, the No. 4 ship should be built last year, but because the three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold caliber guns did not go well before, even the first two Yonglin -class battleships were built.
They are all dragging and dragging, so the No. 3 ship plan and the fourth ship plan are directly canceled, instead designing the improved type of Yonglin -class battleship.
At the same time, the Daheng Empire made a faster progress in the two hundred and fifty millimeters and thirty times. It was already in the three years of dry saints, that is, officially set the equipment in September last year, and was attached to the Chongke -class armored cruiser.
Therefore, in the past two years, the main force of the Daheng Empire is mainly built by armored cruisers. One ship started in the two years of Gan Sheng, two years of dry saints, and two in the first half of this year.
The continuous improvement model of the class armored cruiser is slightly different in detail, but the main design has not changed much. They are all 8,500 tons of standard displacement. The protection still uses mature forging iron hardwood armor.
A total of four -door two hundred millimeters, 30 times the diameter artillery, the speed is seventeen.
The first ship Chongke has completed the loading and is undergoing the final sea test.
However, with the production problem of the three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold caliber guns, the Navy naturally wants to keep up with the construction plan of the improved battleships of Yonglin -class battleships in time.
Moreover, the Navy hopes to build a new generation of battleships as soon as possible, and at the same time hopes to increase the number of construction, from two ships to four.
To compete with the new generation of king -class warships and their potential unknown advanced warships.
In the first half of this year, the Kingdom of Kruhr had announced a high -profile announcement that they had built and served a series of new warships, which comprehensively surpassed all the world's active service and other battleships under construction.
Their high -profile announcement is the king -class battleship, which is equipped with three hundred millimeters and thirty -fold caliber cannons, new armor -piercing bombs, steel surface iron armor and new technology steam engines, and even allowed foreign orders to build and use the above -mentioned ships, armored armor, armored armor, armored armor, armored armor, armored armor, armored armor, armor
, New Battleships of Steam Machine Technology.
The kingdom of Cruch is supported by the powerful national strength. In the first few years when the rear gun era came, through a series of big moves, it has completely established the advantage of the Iron and Steel Big Ship Age in the new era.
In the early years, they were secretly not declared. Although there were related winds from all countries, they did not know the specific situation. When the Kruhr kingdom was announced, the navy of various countries was dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that there is a new type of warship in the kingdom of Kruro, but I did not expect that they would build so much in one breath, and the battleship was so advanced.
The Kingdom of Cruch the Navy announced that six have been in service.
And what makes the navy, especially the Great Heng Navy, is more worried about!
The Kingdom of Cruch Kingdom will inevitably have the follow -up ship plan of the king -class battleship!
Although the kingdom of Krug was not made public, from the perspective of their hidden performance, the subsequent ships are estimated to be served in the water.
This has surprised many countries. They are still tossing more than two hundred millimeter -caliber naval guns, or when 300 mm twenty -five times caliber cannon, the kingdom of Kruhr is already launching a water.
The big ticket is equipped with an advanced warship with three hundred millimeters and thirty -time caliber guns, and it is very likely that there are already serving the updated generation of battleships.
what does that mean?
This means comprehensive and backward!
Because even in the face of the king -class battleships disclosed by the Kingdom of Cruch, all the active duty in other countries and even under construction, and even various warships on the drawings cannot fight!
Not to mention the new generation of battleships that faced the secrets of the kingdom of Cruch.
According to the existing clues, the Great Heng Navy speculates that the Krore Kingdom Navy is likely to be launching and serving with 350 mm caliber guns and other new technologies.
A generation of main ships.
This makes the Daheng Empire Navy extremely worried!
