Everyone used their hats or scarves to wave desperately towards the 'Sea Monarch', expressing their inner respect and love for the Emperor Fang Xiaoyu. Some older people even knelt down and looked at the 'Sea Monarch'.
Live and kowtow.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyu was on the highest sea view platform of the Sea Monarch, looking at the beautiful scenery on the opposite ship through the thick bulletproof glass. In the past few days, the same scene had been seen on the passing passenger ships without exception.
Fang Xiaoyu, who had just finished a punch, wiped the sweat on his head with a towel. Although he knew that the other party could not see it, he still waved to the enthusiastic people. At this time, his heart was filled with pride. This kind of will gradually become more and more popular.
The satisfaction of slowly building a declining country into a strong one made him extremely useful, and the enthusiasm of the people not only satisfied his vanity, but also made him feel that his responsibilities were becoming heavier.
"Doesn't it satisfy your vanity to see the people's love for you?" A soft female voice sounded from behind Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu looked back and saw Xia Tingyun standing behind him with a smile. Queen Xia Tingwei and others
The concubines also stood not far away, covering their mouths and snickering.
Speaking of which, Fang Xiaoyu was a little irresponsible this time. He suddenly had the idea to take his concubines to see the prosperity of China Island. Just because he had promised his concubines this condition during the World War, and in his
While chatting with the concubines, they happened to talk about China Island and involved the previous promise. They suddenly discovered that among all the concubines, only Elena had set foot on the land there, but it was still a deserted land at that time.
She didn't know the results of the construction there over the years.
Fang Xiaoyu's description of China Island has always fascinated Xia Tingwei and other girls, so after Fang Xiaoyu proposed it, all the girls naturally supported it. Fang Xiaoyu has always been very good to his wives, and he immediately gave up his wife irresponsibly, letting
The prince Fang Ruijun, who was only a teenager, supervised the country and took care of his eleven younger brothers and sisters.
Accompanying the passenger ships and escort fleets transporting newly admitted members of the China Foundation, after half a month of sailing, the 'Sea Monarch' arrived at Moore Harbor on China Island. Different from the passenger ship fleet, Fang Xiaoyu's 'Sea Monarch'
' did not dock at a civilian port, but sailed directly into a nearby military port belonging to the Iron Blood Army.
"Master, you are here." Fu Mingcheng and Li Zhonggong have been waiting at the military port for a long time.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Didn't I tell you not to greet us every time? We are all old brothers, so don't always do this."
Fu Mingcheng smiled and said: "Young master, it's not my fault. I'm here to inspect the construction of the new aircraft carrier."
Li Zhonggong also said: "I also have something to do. I'm here to prepare to tow your 'Sea Monarch' into the dock for modification."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "My boat is fine, what should I modify?"
Li Zhonggong said: "Master, your safety is the most important. Naturally, you should give priority to updating your ship with the best weapons. What's more, things are different from the past. Now the aircraft are so advanced. If some planes bomb, your ship will be vulnerable."
It won’t last long.”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Zhonggong conjured up a thick document and said: "I plan to install a large number of anti-aircraft guns in the top cabin, remove the hidden main guns on the deck, and install anti-ship missiles in the side cabins."
Fang Xiaoyu widened his eyes and said, "What? Have anti-ship missiles been developed?"
Li Zhonggong smiled and said: "It is our latest product, and it is quite large. I calculated that about eight missiles can be installed on the ship."
Fang Xiaoyu asked: "What are the performance indicators?"
Li Zhonggong said: "It adopts mid-stage autopilot and terminal active radar homing guidance, with a cruising altitude of 100 to 300 meters, a cruising speed of Mach 0.9, a maximum range of 42 kilometers, and a warhead weighing 500 kilograms.
It’s just a bit bigger, six and a half meters long and weighing 2.5 tons.”
Fang Xiaoyu rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "This is already very good, you should modify it as soon as possible. With this thing, my big cruise fleet plan can finally start." Fang Xiaoyu thought of the person who stopped waiting for the progress of missile development.
"Hongyuan" class cruiser construction plan, but with the installation of missiles, the original warship structural design is no longer applicable, and he must redesign the warship.
Fang Xiaoyu turned to Fu Mingcheng and said, "Let's go, you and I will go see the new aircraft carrier and then rest."
Among the girls following Fang Xiaoyu, only Elena and Wang Ling, who liked military affairs, followed Fang Xiaoyu with hopeful expressions. The other concubines showed little interest in it, especially Xia Tingyun, who glared at Fu Mingcheng fiercely.
Fu Mingcheng also had a bitter look on his face, and secretly complained that he had made a bad excuse. He knew that the young master was very interested in the army, but he still made such an excuse, which would directly offend Fang Xiaoyu's harem.
Although the girls had little interest in the military, they were still deeply shocked when they saw the huge warship of the new aircraft carrier. Fang Xiaoyu looked excitedly at the aircraft carrier that had begun to be outfitted and pointed and said: "Is there him?
Let me take a look at the performance indicators.”
"Here I am." A middle-aged man hurried over and said, "Master, the blueprints for this type of warship are here." Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Xu Shouchang who had arrived.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "You are still here to preside over the construction of warships."
Xu Shouchang said with a smile: "Of course, this is my dream. How can I know the flaws in my design if I don't often go to the site to inspect." The dream of designing a warship has not only been realized, but it has also been greatly exceeded. As the chief warship designer of the Chinese Empire,
The warships currently designed by Xu Shouchang, both in terms of tonnage and advanced level, were beyond what he could even imagine at the beginning.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and sighed: "Your current warship design capabilities are better than mine."
Xu Shouchang smiled sheepishly and said: "How can I be better than Master?"
Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "What I said is true. From now on, the design of warships will depend entirely on professional designers like you. I can't help." Xu Shouchang scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed.
Fang Xiaoyu's words are not meant to be flattering. Although he has designed many excellent warships in the past, they were all copied from the classic ship types that he knew back then. Today's warships are getting closer and closer to the technological level on earth.
The detailed structures of those advanced warships were kept secret in previous lives. How could he know the parameters and detailed design specifications?
Therefore, when his own materials are not used, he has to look to the skills of a large number of warship designers accumulated by the Chinese Empire in the past twenty years. This is why he has been cultivating the independent design capabilities of these designers.
However, what makes Fang Xiaoyu happy is that after the retirement of the older generation of designers invited from various countries, the second and even third generation designers headed by Xu Shouchang are already fully qualified to design warships, and because of their studies
With stronger acceptance ability, it is easier to design modern new warships.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "It seems that the warship you designed is pretty good. Tell me first about its performance."
Xu Shouchang smiled and said: "Master, I have started to redesign the 'Governor' class aircraft carrier since you requested it to be equipped only with allies. This warship was designed by me and many designers based on the suggestions that the master gave me before.
It took more than 20 years to complete. I know that the young master felt that the 'Governor' class was a bit small, so I designed this big 60,000-ton class. The deck of this type of warship is 295 meters long and 41.5 meters wide.
m. It can use all aircraft currently in service, including those large Kunpeng 2 bombers. The ship is equipped with twelve boilers and four steam turbines, four-axis propulsion, 212,000 horsepower, and a speed of 33 knots. It can
It carries one hundred and thirty-seven aircraft, in addition to eighteen single-barreled 127mm high-level cannons, twenty-one dual 40mm anti-aircraft cannons, and twenty-eight 20mm single-barreled cannons. This is absolutely
It is the largest warship now."
Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and said: "But our large warship limit is 200,000 tons, so we can only equip three of them."
Xu Shouchang smiled and said: "Master, the Imperial Navy has limitations, but the Iron-Blooded Army is a private enterprise guard. This has nothing to do with the country."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "That's true. How many ships are you planning to build?"
Xu Shouchang smiled and said: "I want ten ships anyway."
Fang Xiaoyu was shocked: "Why build so many aircraft carriers when you have nothing to do? There is so much money and nowhere to spend it?"
Fu Mingcheng on the side is now in charge of the overall situation of the Iron-Blooded Army. He does not want to see this reduction of warships. He immediately helped: "Master, the quota of the Imperial Navy is so small, our Iron-blooded Army must maintain sufficient military strength. If anyone
If the time comes to start a war, we can't afford to suffer."
Fang Xiaoyu rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said, "That's too much. Just build eight ships, three of which are for the Imperial Navy." Fang Xiaoyu directly halved the number built by the Iron-Blooded Army.
Seeing Xu Shouchang's increasingly bitter face, Fang Xiaoyu comforted him: "Don't put on such a face, I won't let you idle. Now that there are anti-ship missiles, the Hongyuan-class cruiser originally designed is no longer suitable."
Fortunately, thirteen ships have just been built. You should design new cruisers as soon as possible. I estimate that two hundred ships will be built, one hundred and fifty of which will be for the Imperial Navy and the rest for the Iron-Blooded Military. Remember not to install so many cruisers.
guns, leaving more space for anti-aircraft guns and anti-ship missiles.”
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xu Shouchang immediately smiled and said: "The young master is still very generous. I will arrange the design work right now."
Xu Shouchang ran away quickly, and Fang Xiaoyu didn't need to look at other equipment. Apart from asking Fu Mingcheng to ask the Naval Design Bureau to improve the destroyer under construction in order to try to launch a few anti-ship missiles, there was only research on gas turbines.
Question. Then Fang Xiaoyu took a group of concubines and got into a luxury car and drove to Chinatown, the newly built largest city in China Island.
