Chapter 810 The epoch-making battleship Ningyu serves
The overall situation in the Tanner Kingdom is improving. The army under Prince Zhou Yaping is quite powerful. It has captured most of the central areas of the Danner Kingdom and is already heading towards the southern area of the Danner Kingdom.
As for the Kean area, it is now in chaos. The local government of the Kean Republic itself has been divided into several factions. Various villains have joined many large tribes, so that there are seven or eight different factions in the Kean Republic. The armed forces of the factions are constantly fighting against each other, and even the Garfia Empire is having a big headache with Ken's situation.
On the surface, although the Garfia Empire's garrison still controls major cities and strategic nodes in the Republic of Ken, in fact, the vast number of small and medium-sized cities and rural areas have fallen into the hands of different opposition groups.
What makes the Daheng Empire even more reassured is that due to the chaotic situation in the Kenn area, the construction and development of the Kenn Oilfield has not been able to achieve practical progress, and the production plan is expected to continue to be delayed.
Against this background, in the late autumn of October of the fifteenth year of Qian Sheng, when many Daheng people were already looking forward to the Autumn Harvest Festival, the most important traditional festival of the year, people in Quping Naval Base In the naval shipyard, a small-scale, but extremely high-standard commissioning ceremony for a new warship was being held.
The ceremony was attended not only by senior naval officials, but also by Emperor Lin Ziran, who arrived at Quping Naval Base for inspection three days ago.
This is not the first time Lin Ziran has come to Quping Naval Base. As the most important naval port and warship construction base of the Daheng Empire, Lin Ziran has come many times and has even presided over the commissioning ceremony of new warships more than once. .
However, this was the first time that he came to Quping Naval Base specifically for the commissioning of a warship. He had previously participated in the commissioning ceremony of a new warship. In fact, it was more incidental. The navy specially selected the service time of warships. When Lin Ziran came to inspect.
However, this time, Lin Ziran came specially to preside over the commissioning of the new warship.
Apart from the unified all-heavy artillery battleship Ning Yu, there is no other battleship worthy of Lin Ziran's attention.
"The battleship Ning Yu officially started construction in August of the twelfth year of Qian Sheng. It was launched and outfitted in December of the fourteenth year of Qian Sheng. After ten months of intense outfitting testing, all the outfitting work was finally completed today. ."
"In the development and construction of the new generation of unified full-heavy artillery battleships, including the Ningyu battleship, our many scientific research teams and manufacturers have solved more than 300 large-scale technologies, and countless small and medium-sized technologies, involving hull construction. Naval gun systems, communication systems, power systems and almost all aspects!"
"During this process, a group of outstanding technical personnel emerged."
"Through the research and development and construction of the Ning Yu battleship, our basic industry and manufacturing processing industry have at least reached a higher level!"
Listening to the minister's introduction, Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "Science is the most important productivity. In the process of promoting scientific progress, improving productivity, and strengthening national defense, our scientists have made great contributions, and they deserve corresponding rewards. Only in this way can we It can correctly guide people’s enthusiasm for scientific research!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
This time, the development and construction plan for unified all-heavy artillery battleships, even if only counting from the beginning of the design of Ning Yu, has spanned five years. In these five years, many outstanding scientists from the empire have emerged.
Lin Ziran is very clear about the importance of technical personnel. As long as they achieve results, they will not be treated poorly.
After the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Daheng Empire, the top scientists were awarded academician titles, which were the most basic. Lin Ziran also gave him the title of nobility. Although Daheng's noble titles have been completely reduced to empty titles these days, this empty title
After all, it is a title of nobility, and the Daheng Empire is still a centralized monarchy, so the title of nobility is still relatively heavy.
Therefore, before attending the commissioning ceremony of the battleship Ning Yu, a small-scale canonization ceremony was held in the auditorium of Quping Naval Shipyard.
Lin Ziran personally canonized thirteen top scientists who have made great contributions to the progress of the Daheng Empire's defense industry in recent years, and awarded them different noble titles, and three of them even received hereditary titles.
As for being conferred a noble title, he was also given generous bonuses. When he won the Royal First Class Science Award, he was given a bonus of 100,000 Hang Yuan on the spot, and the Royal Second Class Science Award was also given a bonus of 50,000 Hang Yuan. This is not a financial contribution.
Instead, Lin Ziran paid for it out of his own pocket.
Because the Royal Science Prize was established privately by Lin Ziran himself, he naturally had to give the prize himself.
In short, they also provide money, reputation, and social status to ensure that these scientists will not be treated badly.
After the canonization was completed, Lin Ziran took people to the dock to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the Ning Yu battleship. On the way to the dock, the navy's senior officials also introduced to Lin Ziran what happened during the construction of the Ning Yu battleship.
.
The development and construction of the unified all-heavy artillery battleship represented by the Ning Yu requires many technical problems to be solved for the Daheng Empire. It can even be said to be a very severe crisis for the industrial system of the Daheng Empire.
challenge.
The research and development of the 300mm 45x caliber naval gun was full of ups and downs. The naval gun project was established very early, and a prototype gun was manufactured very early. However, even after the prototype gun was manufactured, problems frequently occurred later.
, so that the mass production time of the gun continues to be delayed, which not only affects the construction progress of the Ning Yu, but also affects many other warships that are scheduled to adopt this gun.
There is also a power system. The Ning Yu battleship has a standard displacement of more than 18,000 tons, and a full load displacement of more than 21,000 tons. It is not easy for such a huge battleship to reach a speed of 20 knots.
More importantly, in order to ensure protection, the ship's armor thickness is very thick, and a comprehensive protection concept is adopted. In this case, in order to avoid the tonnage of the battleship from soaring in a straight line, the length of the battleship needs to be controlled, so the square shape
The coefficient cannot be made too large, which will affect the internal space of the battleship, making it impossible to stuff more power units.
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the battleship can run at 20 knots. In fact, it is more difficult than the 24 knots of the Qihei-class battlecruiser or the 26 knots of the Kawan-class heavy cruiser. After all, the latter two types of battleships are for
At higher speeds, the hull can be stretched longer and more power units can be packed in. At the same time, the squareness coefficient is reduced, and the slender hull is more suitable for high-speed sailing.
The engineers of the Daheng Empire worked hard to allow the battleship Ning Yu to reach a speed of twenty knots while ensuring defense and firepower.
There have been countless similar difficulties in the development and construction of Ningyu in the past few years.
After countless technical research, the technicians of the Daheng Empire finally completed this epoch-making work of art.
Now, it is parked quietly on the pier, waiting for Lin Ziran's inspection!
After the commissioning ceremony is over, the battleship Ning Yu will be officially handed over to the Navy for various follow-up tests. If everything goes well, a series of tests and training may be completed in about half a year. If there are no problems in the whole process, it will be
