These warships are already very powerful on the surface. Fang Xiaoyu's plan is so huge that he will almost completely renew the entire Chinese Navy's warships. Such a decision shows the wealth of the Chinese Empire, but the internal facilities of these warships are even more complex and powerful than they appear on the surface.
.
First, all new warships are equipped with sonar systems in the underwater bulbous bows to search for enemy submarines that may appear in the future. In addition, aircraft carriers are also equipped with air warning radars specifically used to search for enemy aircraft.
In addition to sonar and air warning radar, the cruiser is also equipped with sea search radar and ranging radar. The most confidential thing is that each of these three large warships has a large computer for calculating ballistics.
Due to the development of the electronics industry in the past few years, the original supercomputer that performed millions of calculations has finally shrunk to a size of two cubic meters and has become a large computer that can be installed on a warship. However, because this type of computer consumes a lot of power,
It can only be turned on briefly during artillery battles to calculate ballistics. If it is turned on during normal navigation, the endurance of the warship may be reduced to one-third.
In addition to these combat ships, Fang Xiaoyu also customized ten 20,000-ton oil supply ships, thirty 30,000-ton comprehensive supply ships, 15 10,000-ton troop transport ships, and eight 20,000-ton dock landing ships for the fleet.
, as well as a large number of landing craft of various types.
As for the Zhonghua-class and Shannan-class battleships that had to be decommissioned, it was easy to handle. All Zhonghua-class battleships were directly mothballed. It was a pity that the Shannan-class was mothballed because they were new warships. Fang Xiaoyu simply sent them to the Naval Academy to serve as training ships.
However, now that the Chinese Empire has taken over the original Lanfang Imperial Naval School, there are already five schools that train naval talents: Vladivostok, Liugongdao, Lushun, Quanzhou, and Ryukyu. These eight warships are not easy to distinguish. As a result, the wealthy Fang Xiaoyu
With a swipe of his pen, he took out a large amount of money from his private treasury, ordered three new Zhili-class battleships from the shipyard, and assigned them to the naval academy to serve as training ships, which shocked the governments of various countries.
Shit, this prodigal man can't do this.
In the huge shipbuilding plan of the Chinese Navy, all warships started construction simultaneously in major shipyards. At the same time, the construction of the "Zhili" battleship was highly publicized, and the news that it was built for the allies was deliberately concealed.
The news that the Chinese Empire started building a 50,000-ton battleship frightened the Boston Empire. During the world war, the Chinese Empire made a lot of money, and the Boston Empire did the same, so they also began to build new warships, but they began to design
Later they discovered that the largest shipyard in the country only had a 30,000-ton capacity and could not build a 50,000-ton battleship like others. The Boston Empire began to issue notices to shipyards across the country to upgrade their shipyards.
When everyone knew that the Boston Empire had begun to upgrade its shipyards on a large scale, the people in charge of the shipyards of the Chinese Empire realized how far-sighted Fang Xiaoyu was at the beginning and had actually prepared a large enough shipyard early. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire would also have to upgrade to the Boston Empire.
It is also a temporary expansion of the dock, which wastes valuable time.
It took the Boston Empire half a year to complete the expansion project, and at this time the keels of the Chinese Empire's new warships had all been laid. Since the Boston Empire plundered some Western Continent scientists, its scientific and technological strength has soared, with the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire
Using the empire's scientific and technological research results, they quickly developed a 300-horsepower diesel engine and a 356-millimeter artillery. Only then did Fang Xiaoyu realize that he had made a mistake in searching for talents from the defeated countries after the war.
Originally, Fang Xiaoyu thought that his scientific research and development institutions were much more advanced than those of the Western Continent, and there was no need to invite those Western Continent scientists back. However, he found that he had taken it for granted.
Not to mention that these scientists are all talented people, everyone has their own specialties. Just because they were recruited by the Boston Empire and their scientific research capabilities were greatly improved made Fang Xiaoyu very worried.
If he had known that the situation would develop to this point, even if Fang Xiaoyu raised these people for nothing, he would not be able to improve the scientific research capabilities of the Boston Empire. Fortunately, in order to retaliate against Widman, Wu Qiong forced him to send most of the scientists back to the Western Continent.
.
Knowing his mistake, Fang Xiaoyu began to think of ways to remedy it. He immediately sent people to the Western Continent to hire those scientists to come to the Chinese Empire with favorable conditions. The Chinese Empire was now a famous scientific and technological holy place, and naturally there were a lot of scientists willing to come.
What's more, the domestic economic situation of the Chinese Empire is much better than that of the Western Continent countries that are still in the economic recovery period.
Seeing that the Chinese Empire began to compete for talents, the Boston Empire was also anxious. They immediately began to recruit scientists from the Western Continent and offered more favorable conditions. However, their previous forced abduction policy caused many scientists to be very disgusted with them. In response to Boston's
The Empire recruits very few people.
Even so, the technological level of the Boston Empire has risen a lot, so they quickly began to launch new equipment and new products, launching a technological and economic confrontation with the Chinese Empire.
First of all, in terms of military industry, the Boston Empire saw the outstanding performance of the Chinese Empire's aircraft carriers in the war, and immediately began to develop its own aircraft carriers. After analyzing the Sar Empire's seaplane construction experience, the Boston Empire also conducted experiments. Their
The first aircraft carrier was converted from a 5,000-ton coal ship and named Langley. It carried eleven seaplanes and became the Boston Empire's first seaplane carrier. Then they began trial sea trials.
While accumulating experience, accumulate experience for the next level of aircraft carrier.
In addition, after seeing the Chinese Empire's rampant construction of battleships, they were not to be left behind. The construction of new 40,000-ton North Carolina-class battleships and 8,000-ton Los Angeles-class cruisers also began. In order to counter the Chinese Empire's submarines, 3,600-ton
The Flynn-class destroyers are preparing to build more than fifty. In addition, they have also begun the development of submarines using submarines captured from the Saar Empire.
Seeing that the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire began to build new warships in full swing, the three alliance countries with very tight economies were only jealous. The Yaman Empire was better. They gritted their teeth and started building a new 35,000-ton displacement Bavarian-class battleship.
In order to replace the gradually falling behind Königs-class battleships, the Kingdom of Habfsburg and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia had to pick and choose among the captured ships and find relatively advanced and intact warships to use.
Although they cannot afford to build new warships, the three countries did not stop the development of their navies because of the poor economy. In addition to conducting preliminary research on new battleships, they also began to study submarines, which are low-investment and quick-effective warships. Especially for use in world wars
Having tasted the sweetness of submarines, the Yaman Empire spared no effort to develop submarines. Relying on the seizures from the Allied Powers during the war, they quickly began their own diesel engine development and submarine construction plans.
Countries have seen the performance of the Chinese Army in the war and have transformed their own armies based on the Chinese Army's establishment model. However, imitation can never become the strongest, because when these countries imitate the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire has already
When new research is started, imitation will always be one step slower.
"Ying'er, are you tired?" Fang Xiaoyu wiped the sweat of his six-year-old daughter Fang Ruiying. At the moment, he was teaching Fang Ruiying and Fang Ruihua how to do Bajiquan in the garden.
"I'm not tired, Father, let's play for a while." Fang Ruiying replied, shaking her hair that was stuck to her face with sweat.
"Father, why don't you ask me if I'm tired?" Fang Ruihua said standing aside with his mouth pouted.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "As my sister is a girl, I should naturally ask her first. You are a man, so you can't be too squeamish." In fact, Fang Ruihua was only born half an hour earlier than Fang Ruiying, and they are the same age.
"Okay, you guys should take a rest and practice again later." Seeing a pair of tired children with flushed faces and panting, Fang Xiaoyu lovingly asked them to take a rest first.
At this moment, a boy of more than ten years old came over and said, "Father, Uncle Wu is outside asking for an audience."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Oh? I'll go see him right now. You play with your younger brothers and sisters here for a while and take care of them." Fang Xiaoyu wanted his eldest son and younger siblings to strengthen their relationship. Anyway, there were many female guards around, so they wouldn't
What's the danger?
"Father, I will definitely take good care of my younger brothers and sisters." Fang Ruijun saluted solemnly. Every day's study tasks are very heavy. Now that he can play with his younger brothers and sisters for a while, Fang Ruijun is also very happy.
Fang Xiaoyu walked out of the Royal Garden and saw Wu Feng waiting outside. He walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Wu, what can I do?"
Wu Feng said with a smile: "I'm here to congratulate the young master. Two hours ago, our first synchronous communication satellite has entered the predetermined orbit and is now broadcasting news. As long as our radio is set to the right frequency, we can hear it. In the future, we
Our broadcasts no longer have to use those bulky big towers." Because the news was so exciting, this time he did not give the news to his daughter Wu Yunna, but came over in person.
"Really? This is great." Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Let's go to the imperial study room and listen to the broadcast from the satellite."
Fang Xiaoyu squinted his eyes in the study, listening to the beautiful voice of the female announcer on the radio. Wu Feng came over and said: "Master, recently the Boston Empire has manufactured its own tubes and will no longer import them to us. It is said that they are
They are trying to produce radios and want to steal our business."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Even if they want to sell it, they will still pay us royalties."
Wu Fengdao: "This is not a matter of money, young master. We cannot let them occupy the market share of electrical products. Should we sell some of our hidden technology products?"
Fang Xiaoyu opened his eyes and said, "Do you have any bad ideas again? Tell me what you plan to sell?"
