A piece of news set off a tide in the world. No matter how much you do such a small cost and big reward, Chen Shaokuan, who had already tasted the wonderful taste, was even more enjoyable. If it weren't for the lack of enough materials, he would have liked to go back and forth every now and then.-oshuoyd-

Unfortunately, such good things are difficult to do one after another, especially considering that the whole world war is covered with clouds, Europe is just like a powder barrel, and China cannot stay out of it, so there are many more things he needs to worry about.

Especially since the Navy's large-scale integration work has just started, I want to put a bunch of major factions into a whole, it is really not a good job for ordinary people. But as the real core, Zhu Bin has turned a hand-off manager and left all the work to him, focusing on the shipbuilding plan to start the second construction.

Chen Shaokuan cannot say that he is tired. He has been thinking about such a thing for half his life before he has a chance. In the past, he was in a limited resource that was too difficult to avoid factional interests. But today he has turned upside down and open his mind to do an unprecedented great cause. It is a great time to realize his dream. If he is afraid of being picky and picky, he will be too arrogant. And he is definitely not such a person.

Zhu Bin was not worried about losing power. Although the three commanders were fine, a chief of staff actually controlled the direction of the entire navy. He just needed to do his job well according to his own wishes.

When the news was released, we naturally could not just say anything but practice. On November 25, 1938, after all the naval chiefs visited the first steel plate cutting ceremony, two "Kunlun-class" battleships started construction at the Guzhenkou Shipyard at the same time.

A 5.5-meter wide thick plate continuous steel rolling machine has been built. A 30,000-ton hydraulic press and 20,000-ton die forging machine has been built. The processing capacity of Guangming Steel Plant is undoubtedly the world's first in terms of processing capabilities of special steel plates and related large steel parts.

The production capacity of a thick plate rolling mill alone reaches 1.5 million tons. If it is fully started, it can be supplied to shipbuilding across the country. This is not the original 3.5-meter rolling mill. With the equipment of several major steel mills such as Qingdao, Shanghai, Jiangnan, Chongqing, Hainan, etc., the rolling capacity of medium and thick plates alone exceeds 5 million tons. Large and medium-sized ships can easily support them with 5 million tons a year!

Such industrial upgrading speed is impossible to achieve even in the hands of Germans. No one like Zhu Bin can directly use the spacecraft intelligent brain to directly manufacture parts and mold after simulation and molding. Then it is directly put into production and installation.

The naval generals who were completely unfamiliar with industrial production did not know the paths here. They only saw that on two semi-enclosed docks that were five hundred meters long, huge driving and gantry cranes slowly placed the welded warship modules on them. Countless skilled workers operated mechanical welding arms that they couldn't understand. Sparks were splashing and arcing, and then they started to work!

The main construction of the first batch of two warships was still completed by the cave robotic arm production line. After being dragged into the cave, the steel plates of various thicknesses were cut out on the automatic cutting lines on both sides according to the required size and shape. After simple processing, follow the track assembly line and enter the ten dock production tables inside, assembled into the required keel, hull module, four-face head, and two hatchbacks. In three months, the main construction of the two warships can be completed.

The built module is dragged out to the outside board to assemble. No matter how slow it is, it only takes three or four months to complete the main structure. The total construction period is six or seven months, three times faster than usual.

Then, the construction of the other two warships will follow. Given the advantages of the production speed of all-intelligent robots, when the two warships outside are built, the last two ships, which are three or four months behind, can be completed at the same time, and maybe even in advance. At that time, the four warships will be launched together and will surely give the opponent a big surprise.

No matter how much Zhu Bin does this kind of thing, he will never be tired of it!

Zhu Bin was not very satisfied with this speed. He calculated with his fingers and was still far from his ideal goal.

The four major fleets, mother, and the standard in his mind is the newly commissioned 30,000-ton oblique deck, and now there are only four ships. The previous 20,000-ton class was still too weak in the carrier-based capacity, and the number of fighter jets that took off at one time was far from enough to launch continuous saturation attacks.

Unfortunately, he can build only so many shipbuilding capabilities at present, and it is useless to be anxious.

We can only make do with it first. Let the three major shipyards in Hainan, Jiangnan and Qingdao be responsible for the construction of six to ten major ships at a time, including light aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers and supply ships, which can roughly meet the requirements; the rest of the Century House Shipyards can be divided into groups to modularly manufacture destroyers and submarines in assembly lines, and they can barely deal with it. It is expected that two new battle groups will be completed in two years, and the four fleets will be considered formally formed by the time.

But this money will cost you a lot!

Zhu Bin is not really joking with Song Ziwen. The cost of naval construction he said is not too exaggerated. For conventional construction, the cost of a "Kunlun-class" battleship is at least 80 million US dollars, equivalent to 300 million French currency. The fleet always requires at least two ships. With two aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, 4-6 light cruisers, more than 6 destroyers, and 6-10 attack submarines, plus supply ships, hospital ships, all in total, and it is really impossible to deal with it without 2 billion.

The two fleets cost 4 billion! It is almost the same as the number of fiat currency printed as of last year!

This is not considered manual. Therefore, if you think about it according to the general rules, you can’t afford to build these two fleets even if you sell iron. At least the great powers are muttering about this matter, industrial production, after all, it requires costs!

Perhaps no one can guess that Zhu Bin is doing most of the moneyless transactions here. His marine mining and intelligent production lines in the spacecraft will consume two-thirds of the cost. The real cost is estimated to be less than 1 billion. At an open third of the cost, it is built with weapons and equipment at a speed of two or three times the rate. The only thing that is the number one cheater in Tianzi is!

Of course, someone will never be ashamed.

The main gun design of the "Kunlun-class battleship" once caused a fierce debate. The design team led by Ye Zaifu believes that under the current production technology conditions, it is not easy to make too large a leap. The mature 406mm main gun technology can completely cover the next-level battleship. Without changing the caliber, the body tube will be extended from 45 times to 50 times, and the corresponding range will be increased by 5-10 kilometers, and it will basically reach the limit of the ship-based optical shooting command system. Moreover, real battles usually occur within a distance of less than 22 kilometers. No matter how far they are, they cannot be seen, and it is meaningless.

But this is not as simple as lengthening of the body tube. With the urging of optimized launching drugs, the armor-piercing ability and accuracy of the shell have been improved accordingly. Even the latest "Kiyi-class" battleship in Japan, which seems to be powerful, can be easily penetrated, and its power is actually enough.

Then without major changes, the newly added tonnage can support at least 4 triple turrets, while the 203mm secondary turret can be removed--four turrets can fully strike 2-3 targets at the same time.

After changing the 420mm main gun, although the turret was not changed much, the weight and scale had little impact on the original design, even if it was lengthened to 52 times the diameter, the range and power were not much increased. The armor-piercing bomb could hold 20 to 30 kilograms of **, and the explosion damage was actually almost the same.

Zhu Bin doesn't think so. He repeatedly emphasized the construction concepts of "scalability" and "sustainability". Such a powerful warship is not only for use in front of us, but also the issue of technological upgrades and replacement. One more thing is the issue of the amount of one-time ammunition delivery.

It is obvious that at a rate of 8-10 rounds per minute, the four-seater 3-mounted 203mm secondary guns erupted as much as 20 tons of ammunition in one minute, which is more than three times more than a 3-mounted 420mm main gun, which is already a major advantage.

Another advantage is that when encountering a large number of non-battleship targets with weak armor, you do not have to use the main gun. Under the condition that the hull is not affected, the killing effect of using the 203mm secondary gun with higher accuracy and faster fire speed will be better. A small number of special air-explosive bombs that are long-range at a 70-degree elevation angle can also dispel and kill the dense attack aircraft group. This is difficult for the main turret to do.

As a result, in the one-sided sigh of Ye Zaifu and other professionals, Zhu Bin "Kungang" was solved. The final design seemed strange. The three main turrets were still on the back-mounted distribution and central axis. A 203mm turret was installed on the wide and long bow in front. One was installed on both sides behind the main bridge in the middle, and one was installed on the last turret behind C. In this way, no matter which direction it is headed, it can ensure that three turrets fire at the same time to ensure density.

However, in this way, the warship looks a bit weird. With the dense anti-aircraft guns and dense near-defense systems built like needles, the entire warship looks like a steel floating platform filled with pipes. The space freed up by using nearly 20,000 tons of ultra-light high-strength alloy and high-strength fibers is at least 3,000 tons of ammunition and fuel!

The appearance of the "Kunlun-class" battleship is more than one level ugly than the "Taishan-class" in front of it. Zhu Bin likes it no matter how he looks at it. He scoffs at a group of designers who have absorbed a large number of advanced concepts: "How can you know the mentality of the turrets! This is a magic weapon that can suppress luck and expand territory!"

Of course, to be serious, he has another reason for doing this. After the missile technology is mature, in addition to the turret on the bow, the wide rear can be transformed into a large arsenal, and hundreds or thousands of vertical missiles are stuffed into it. That is a super arsenal ship that is suitable for everything from far to near! What will you tell you about such a lofty concept and super invincible purpose?

The construction of the battleship was confirmed. At the same time, two light destroyers were confirmed, but this was to make up for the serious shortcomings of the current fleet. In the last naval battle, it was really impressive that heavy cruisers and battleships had to face the Japanese army's rapid light cruise launch of dense torpedoes. Such shortcomings must be made up!
