Chapter 663 The era of rapid-fire guns and hardened armor
The deputy gun of the Jingzhou is 150 millimeters and forty times the speed gun. This stuff is also a big kill. The speed gun project is also one of the secret projects of the painstaking research of the Great Empire.
The fire rate of the gun can reach five rounds to seven rounds per minute, far exceeding the firing speed per minute per minute of the same caliber cannon.
When this was hit, the shells were just like water, dense!
The cost of using a series of new technologies, the cost is also topped!
The navy of other countries was reluctant to use nickel steel, and simply continued to use steel surface iron armor, and the hardening armor armored by the Great Empire itself was more expensive than nickel steel armor!
The final accounting, the expected cost of Jingzhou will need to be 75 million constant yuan.
This price far exceeds more than 4 million in the previous endless sea -class battleships, even if the two in the later improvement are only the cost of 5 million Hengyuan.
Even if it is expensive, the Daheng Navy is extremely firmly finalized and decided to start construction of two ships immediately after completing the preparation work next month.
The ship will take service, quickly open the performance advantages of warships with other countries, and lay the foundation for the next step of the Great Empire's next step.
What is the two -ocean connection plan is actually seizing and controlling the Endless Strait, and opening the east coast of the Great Empire and the maritime transportation on the west coast.
And this is bound to fight against the Olsa Empire!
Therefore, the navy hopes to obtain a group of advanced warships as soon as possible, and use these advanced warships to obtain strategic advantages to complete the plan.
Other countries that are free have also gained similar technologies, causing their own advantages to lose their advantages!
In fact, from the name of the ship, it can be seen that the Daheng Empire attaches importance to the ship.
Jingzhou!
This is also the first time that the Daheng Empire Navy has naminated the main battleship of the name of the state of the Thirteen State. The previous endless sea -class battleships were named after the name of the coastal waters of the Dayheng Empire.
Number, Xiluo Bay, Jingbei Bay, a total of six ships in Qingbei Bay.
The naming of the previous Daheng's main ship was not obvious to the rules. The Yonglin class. These two warships use the two adjacent mountain peaks of Yong'an Mountain, Yonglin Mountain on the famous Eastern Peninsula.
In the previous unified number and Luohe, the unified number clearly possessed the characteristics of the era, which means that the Daheng reunification, the Luohe is the second largest river in Daheng.
Land.
As for the Pingbo, it was named by Shao Bing in Luohai County in the Civil War era of the South China Sea. The subsequent Daheng Empire Navy did not rename it, but continued.
After the subsequent Daheng Empire was unified, the new warship also made preliminary rules, requiring the main ship, that is, the naming of the battleship needs special significance.
The name is the name of the ship.
The name of the waters of an endless seas is named after this rule.
The reason why it is not limited to the name of the state or river, the mountains and rivers is because Daheng has only 13 states, and there are not many famous mountain peaks in the territory.
More than a dozen ships, the main force planning of the second development plan of that year is more than thirty. Although it has not been completed now, and the second phase of the development plan has been ancient, the ambitions of the Great Empire Navy have always been very large.
Therefore, the small details of the naming rules also have enough space.
The cruisers are named by the county, such as Luo Hai, Luo'an, Guang'an City, the names of the famous figures or other special names.
As for the lower -level lightning ship, the patrol ship, the rules of naming the cannon ship is more casual. If you are larger, you can use the name of the county name or the famous historical figures or other special significance names, and some small tonnage ships
Use the number directly!
In general, the naming of the warship of the Daheng Empire Navy is still more casual. This can be seen from the battleships, cruisers and lightning ships.
Determine the Jingzhou -class battleship as the new generation of new battleships, and after the construction of four ships is preliminarily scheduled, the meeting was immediately determined that the armored cruiser plan was determined.
It is also selected from multiple candidates. There are more candidates for armored cruisers. The six main solutions are very different in tonnage. The smaller ones are only more than 7,000 tons.
Jingzhou battleships are even larger.
The firepower layout is also different, some are equipped with 300 millimeters of main guns, some with 250 millimeters of main guns, and some two hundred millimeters of main guns, and some simply have a large number of fifty fifty fifty -fifth mm speed guns.
Instead of equipping a large -caliber main gun.
Because the tactical positioning and technical indicators of the battleship are very clear, the Dayheng Navy does not have clear technical indicators for the armored cruiser, only tactical positioning requirements, but the tactical positioning requirements are more.
The Dayheng Navy hopes that the armored cruiser can fight against and annihilate the enemy's investigation fleet during the fleet decisive battle. At the same time, the investigation of the enemy's main fleet is used to obtain a vital battlefield intelligence.
This is the core task of the Dayheng Navy's armored cruiser!
However, in addition to this core task, the Daheng Navy also hopes that at a specific moment, the armored cruiser is arranged separately as a high -speed guerrilla formation, and the enemy's main ship is weak to create favorable conditions for the main fleet.
In other words, in a specific moment, the Daheng Navy needs armored cruisers to participate in the duel.
Considering that in recent years, many countries have also begun to imitate the construction of a similar armored cruiser/second -class cruiser/first -class cruiser to build a similar armored cruiser.
Advantage.
At the same time, considering that the Daheng Empire itself has begun to secretly associate fast -fired guns, and other countries have previously been assigned semi -firing cannons. It is difficult to protect them.
The contemporary contemporary contemporary technology innovation, the main service time of the main ship is also at ten or twenty years.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider the threat of the fast -fired guns of the enemy ship in the future. To this end, it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive protection concept. Of course, this is also the secretly developed nickel -steel armor of the Daheng Empire.
More to achieve comprehensive protection.
If it is the past steel surface era, the armored cruiser cannot be fully protected in the case of ensuring firepower and speed.
But the emergence of hardening armor solves this problem!
Because of the particularity of hardening armor, and many other secret projects, such as the fire -free pills, the fast -fired cannon is the same as the code. The surface carburizing and hardcover nickelized alloy steel will not be directly used.
The name of the manufacturer is called the name of the Luohai armor.
The Luohai Iron and Steel Factory is the research and development and manufacturer of this surface carbolizing hardcover nickel steel armor. As for the other large armored steel R & D and manufacturer of the Empire, they are also studying carbonic hardening armor, but they are just their.
The hardening armor has not been done yet.
In the end, after discussion, the determined armored cruiser scheme reached 12,000 tons, with 250 mm, thirty -five times the caliber main gun, and a 150 millimeter 40 times firing guns with ten doors.
Comprehensive use of smoke -free launching medicines, No. 2 armor -piercing bombs, No. 3 armor -piercing bombs and other new ammunition.
The layout of the armor abandoned the key protection of the past, but followed the comprehensive protection of the Jingzhou battleship, but the armored belt was not so thick.
The speed of the speed has reached section 20.
The scheduled price reached 6 million Hengyuan, and the price is very expensive.
The ship was shaped as a Fengyang -class armored cruiser, and two ships were initially planned.
This class is actually a reduced version of the Jingzhou -class battleship, weakening the main artillery fire and protection to improve the speed. In addition to investigating the task, this class will be used as high -speed warships. The auxiliary fleet will conduct a decisive battle.
After the design plan of the Jingzhou -class battleship, the design plan of the Fengyang -class armored cruiser, and the construction plan, the next cruisers and lightning ships are simple.
After the discussion, a cruiser with a displacement reached more than 4,000 tons became the main investigating cruiser in the ocean fleet. It was shaped as a second -class cruiser in Xialin. It was scheduled to build a batch of eight ships.
The second -class cruiser of the Xialin class uses a dome armor design, which is accompanied by four -door 150 millimeters, forty times firing guns.
, The secondary artillery of the Fengyang -class armored cruiser.
And the eight -door 120 millimeters, forty times firing cannon deputy cannon, also equipped with torpedo launch tubes. According to the design speed, it is expected to be at twenty -one. The maximum speed must be completed.
It is possible to be 23rd.
In fact, this class of ships has not much characteristics, that is, running fast, good protection, and fierce firepower!
But this is not because the design of this class of ship is excellent. In fact, the hull design is the same. These excellent performances are completely due to a series of advanced technologies applied.
The powerful firepower, and the above two have made more space for the power system to install more steam engines, and finally get greater power.
In the end, there was such a faster running, good protection, and a second -class cruiser with a fierce firepower.
In addition to this main investigation cruiser, it will also build a cruiser with different tonnage, different uses.
There is also a three -thousand -ton non -protective full -steel third -class cruiser, an 8,000 -ton first -class cruiser, of which 8,000 tons of first -class cruisers are very interesting.
The name of the design scheme is "Uniformly caliber full -speed shooting cruiser".
