Chapter 157: The Age of Ironclad Ships

"According to the management regulations of the Navy, drinking is prohibited on warships, but there are still some soldiers who like to drink, so they usually drink a little secretly in the restaurant. One day, several sailors were drinking and suddenly heard

When someone walked toward the ship's dining room, and the footsteps got closer and closer, several sailors immediately hid all the wine bottles on the table!"

"Then, a young officer arrived. The sailors immediately stood up and said hello: Ensign, hello! It turned out that this was a squad leader. The sailors greeted him politely, but the ensign soon found him under the dining table.

The sailors' wine bottles, in fact, he is also a person who likes to drink. Then he picked up the wine bottle and wanted to drink, but unexpectedly, as soon as the wine bottle was brought to his mouth, the ship's discipline officer also walked into the restaurant, and the second lieutenant immediately spoke

He broke the silence of the restaurant and said: Yes! That’s true, it is indeed wine. I will punish you all to confinement!”

"Hahaha……"

Far East North Korea Naval School, today Li Ningyu came here early in the morning, because today he needs to teach these young, future, Far East Navy officers an important ideological and political lesson. After an interesting story from Li Ningyu,

He started talking nonstop again.

More than 2,000 years ago, an oceanographer said, "Whoever controls the ocean controls everything."

"Today in the 19th century, the ocean is very important. I believe that every student working today has learned a piece of knowledge, which is the history of the growth of the Far East, and the first critical battle in the Far East was

In the naval battle in the Sino-Japanese War of 1891, although we chose to wait and wait, no matter what the prerequisites were, the Far East won in this naval battle, so with everything in the Far East today, if we failed, we might

You can’t see me, because maybe I’ve already been sent to the guillotine!”.

"The navy refers to all military organizations for maritime military and defense in a region, including ships, personnel and naval institutions. The military forces operating at sea in the Far East usually consist of surface ships, submarines, coastal forts, marines and other arms.

and several other professional units!".

"The birth and development of the navy has a long history. It takes warships or warships as the main line. It has developed from primitive and simple ancient warships to multi-system contemporary ships. It has evolved from individual and scattered technologies to dense and comprehensive technologies. It has gone through thousands of years

Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, China, and Greece are all the birthplaces of shipbuilding and navigation in the world. Ancient Egypt has the longest history of shipbuilding and navigation, dating back to more than 3,000 BC!"

"The world's earliest warships appeared in Egypt, Phoenicia and Greece in more than 1,200 BC. They mainly used oars to row, sometimes supplemented by sails. Chinese shipbuilding technology was once in a leading position in history, and it was able to do so 7,000 years ago.

Manufacturing canoes and oars. In the 5th century BC, the Mediterranean countries had established maritime fleets, including double-decker and triple-decker warships with bow angles at the bottom of the bow posts. During the Three Kingdoms period, we in China also had three- and four-story buildings.

There are many types of ships including Mengchong, Zouge, Chima, etc., and there are also sailing warships!"

“In the 11th century AD, the compass we invented was used for navigation. In the 15th century, Chinese ships had become the largest and most seaworthy ships in the world. Zheng He once led the world’s largest fleet on seven voyages to the Western Ocean.

It has been able to comprehensively use landmark navigation, compass pointing, astronomical positioning, metering, timing and other technologies, leaving behind the famous "Zheng He Navigation Chart". The development of the Western sailing fleet, the increasing perfection of sail rigging and sailing technology, etc.

It played a role in promoting the opening of new sea routes and the plunder and development of colonies in the 15th and 16th centuries!".

"I know that everyone can recite the previous knowledge. In fact, I have only one purpose in telling these things. Why will China lose control of the ocean in the next few centuries? Is there any classmates who can

Answer?"

As soon as Li Ningyu's words came out, all the naval cadets under the podium raised their hands high, which made Li Ningyu very embarrassed, so he thought about it and looked at the North Korean Navy Minister Huang Haitao, and then Huang Haitao immediately

He took out a booklet and handed it to Li Ningyu. He was stunned for a moment. Then after reading the contents of the booklet, he suddenly realized that it turned out to be a report card for all students.

But just as he was reading page after page, a name came into his eyes, Xiaoping? No, wasn't it? Li Ningyu was really shocked by the name in front of him, but after looking at it carefully again, his heart gradually

I feel calm, because this Xiaoping’s name is Kong Xiaoping, from Jiangsu, 31 years old, but his academic performance is not very good.

However, Li Ningyu decided to ask him to answer his question, so Li Ningyu smiled and looked at the expectant faces and said: "Please ask Kong Xiaoping, a member of the 1896th class of the Far East Naval Academy, to answer my question!".

After Li Ningyu's voice ended, the venue suddenly became quiet. At this time, a student with an easy-going appearance, a strong figure, and a dignified appearance stood up. Judging from his expression, he was very excited, because he had not just been

Raise his hand, because he felt that his academic performance was not very satisfactory, so he did not dare to raise his hand.

However, since Li Ningyu called his name, as a military cadet and a soldier, he still straightened his body and answered loudly: "Yes!".

"In the 18th century, with the invention of the steam engine and the rapid development of the metallurgy, machinery and fuel industries, fundamental changes occurred in shipbuilding materials, power plants, weaponry and construction techniques, thus laying a certain foundation for modern naval technology.

On the material basis, the navy's warships began to use steam engines as the main power device. In the early stages of steam ships, paddle wheels were used for propulsion. At the same time, the decks were equipped with rotatable platforms and slide rails so that the naval guns could rotate and move!"

"In this way, compared with sailing battleships of the same class, their maneuverability and naval gun power are greatly improved. In the 1830s, the propeller propeller was invented, and then France built the world's first propeller-propelled steam battleship Napoleon.

After that, the navies of France, Britain, Russia and other countries were all equipped with steam ships. After the emergence of torpedoes in the 1960s, small ships equipped with torpedoes appeared immediately. In the 1970s, the transition from sailing fleets to steam fleets in the navies of many countries was basically completed!

"

"As a result, the navy's organizational structure and command system have been further improved, and warships are increasingly developing in the direction of increasing displacement, improving maneuverability, enhancing gun attack power, and strengthening armor protection. Armored ships, especially capital ships composed of battleships and battlecruisers,

, became the backbone of the fleet! From then on, the navy entered the era of machine-powered steel battleships, which is also the era of ironclad ships!"
