"I have to admit that Mr. Barclaz Smith, you persuaded me. West Sichuan really needs such a heavy cruiser. However, I have a request that the speed of the battleship must be increased again.
! "Wang Yuze said.
"Verse 25? Marshal, this is a heavy cruiser, not a light cruiser. This is almost 10 verses higher than the" Bran Dengbao class'. "
Setting speed at Section 23 is already the highest speed he can think of. But he did not expect that the young Sichuan rulers have higher requirements.
"Over 25th, I believe it will be achieved. In order to improve this speed, we can replace the 280 mm gun into a 203mm gun. Since the main opponent of this warship is positioned as a cruiser, then there is no need to use this kind of use.
The large -caliber's gun was. The203 mm cannon was enough to tear the armor of all cruisers. In this case, it can save hundreds of tons of displacement. In addition, the armored armor can take key protection, key thickened bridge,
For places such as turrets and ammunition libraries, the rest of the place can use a thinner armor. In terms of power, it can be replaced by a larger steam turbine. "Wang Yuze said.
"Real steam turbines? Is this new type of power reliable?" Barclaz Smith frowned. The reason why the German side uses a piston steam engine is because the piston steam engine technology is more mature and reliable.
Like the navy of other countries, it has begun to use a duplex steam engine. Barclas Smith has not expected that western Sichuan actually started to use the steam turbine.
As early as 1883, the Swedish engineer Lawal designed the first single -stage impulse steam turbine. In 1884, British engineer Parsons designed and created the first single -level reactionary turbine.
Time, the steam turbine has also achieved high -speed development. However, because the current steam turbine structure is relatively simple and the technology is not mature, the use of technical equipment with immature technology on the battleship seems a bit adventurous.
Smith will have such questions.
"Mr. Barclas Smith, please rest assured. West Sichuan's technical research on the steam turbine has been several years. At present, we have achieved a key breakthrough.
You can put it in actual use. When you design the new battleship, our steam turbine should be able to put it into use! "Wang Yuze said affirmatively.
"Well! I should be able to design the battleships I want!" Barclaz Smith nodded.
"So, I officially invited Mr. Barclaz Smith to become a foreign warship designer of the Beihai Shipyard. The annual salary is 20,000 marks (the previous chapter writes 200,000 marks, and some books have pointed out that at the time at the time, it looked at the price at the time.
It's expensive, so modify it!). Of course, when you have time, if you have time to design one or two submarines for us, it is best. In addition, we will send some young people to be a assistant, I hope
You can point them! "Wang Yuze said sincerely. Although people in this era rarely recognize the huge role of the submarine, Wang Yuze still persisted in studying this aspect. As for Baklez Smith
The specially arranged assistant is purely to steal the teacher.
Barclays Schmidt frowned. He did not expect that Wang Yuze would still insist on building submarines. However, he also knew that the treatment given by Wang Yuze was already very good.
"Your Majesty, Marshal, I accept your request. I will design the best warship for your navy!" Barclays Smit said. As long as the heavy cruiser he designed is approved by Western Sichuan, then
, he should be able to design a real battleship next.
.The Western Sichuan Navy should also hope to have its own designed battleships instead of blindly purchasing them from outside. He believes that he will have many opportunities here. He will prove to others that he is Barclays?
Mitt is definitely the top battleship designer in the world.
"Haha, great, at this time, should we have a drink?" Lucas suggested.
Later, Wang Yuze introduced Barclays Schmidt to Wei Han, the director of Beihai Shipyard, and selected several people who knew German from among the students to serve as Barclays Schmidt's assistants. And Barclays
Smith's next task is to design the heavy cruiser that Western Sichuan needs as soon as possible.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I have something else to talk to you about!" That night, Lucas found Wang Yuze again.
"Uncle Lucas, please tell me if you have anything to say!" Ye Yan showed great respect for Lucas.
"It's like this. During the day, I heard that Kawanishi has made breakthrough progress in steam turbines. So, can this technology be shared with Germany?" Lucas said.
In terms of the power of battleships, Germany is one level behind compared with the great powers. If Germany can jump directly from piston steam engines to steam turbines, it will undoubtedly make Germany achieve a leap in this aspect. For the German navy to catch up with the United Kingdom, then
is very useful.
"Of course! Western Sichuan and Germany are friends, and the technology of steam turbines can be shared with Germany. However, we have also encountered some problems in the construction of warships. For example, our technology is not very good in the armor of warships. I hope that we can
Get support from Germany!" Wang Yuze said. His meaning was also very obvious. He wanted steam turbine technology, which was no problem, but he had to use armor steel production technology in exchange.
"Our warship armor steel also uses Harvey steel. If Western Sichuan needs it, we can provide it!" Lucas said. The so-called Harvey steel was used by American engineer Harvey in the early 1890s.
Nickel steel armor was made by carburizing process. In the test in 1892, the defensive power of 152mm Harvey armor was equivalent to 254mm composite armor, so various countries began to use Harvey armor in large quantities.
"No, no, no, it's not Harvey Gang, but the new armor produced by your country's Krupp Steel Plant. This is what we need! Hasn't your country already begun some of the work on the 'Brandenburg-class' battleships?
Have you used this new armor steel?" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Although Harvey Gang is powerful, Krupp's armor steel is even more powerful.
"I need to ask for instructions from China before I can answer you!" Lucas said. German warships have always been very good in resisting strikes. In this regard, the role of armored steel cannot be ignored. Krupp's new
Armor steel is one of the important secrets of the German Navy. It may not be easy for Western Sichuan to obtain this technology. However, steam turbine application technology is also urgently needed by Germany. Will Germany use new armor steel?
Technology is still exchanged for steam turbine technology, which is hard to say.
"Okay, Uncle Lucas, it is enough anyway!" Wang Yuze said. Warships can not be built in one day. It often takes one to two years.
Time is still very surplus.
"In addition, Great Marshal. We learned that West Sichuan uses a new type of communication technology. It can not rely on the telegram line to send and receive telegrams. This technology has also started research, but there has been no clue.
West Sichuan can transfer this technology to us. For this reason, we can pay the transfer fee of 5 million Mark. "Lucas said. Wireless telegram technology, this is his main purpose today.
I heard Wang Yize talked about it today, so it was proposed.
"Uncle Lucas, for this technology, after ten years of research, we have invested huge funds before and after.
For a few years, countries will be successfully studied successively, but now, this technology owned by western Sichuan is undoubtedly unique. He naturally wants to knock on greater benefits.
"Well, we can pay 10 million marks, and then produce one patent fee of 10 Mark in western Sichuan!" Lucas raised the price. You know, 10 million Mark, most of the "Bo Bing ordered by west of West Sichuan.
The price of the Landdenburg class' battleship is already very high. This price is already very high.
"No no no! Uncle Lucas, do you know? West Sichuan is now changing large -scale installations. Our wireless telegram technology has been upgraded. Now the wireless telegram machine has been reduced to fifty kilograms.
Just horses or a strong soldier can be hidden. We intend to deploy this wireless telegram machine to each infantry company. In this way, our command flexibility will be greatly improved. The combat effectiveness will be doubled.
Improve. In addition, this kind of wireless telegram can also be applied to the warship. In this case, the communication between the fleet and the domestic, the battleship and the warship is more convenient! "Wang Yuze said with a smile.
It is about the advantage of radio machine machines.
Lucas's brows frowned. He had to admit that this communication technology did have an epoch -making invention. If the German army can use it, they will inevitably improve their combat effectiveness. At the same time, they can also be applied to apply.
In terms of civil usage, business, communication, etc. will have a huge promotion role.
"Well, how much the German side will pay for the German side to get this communication technology?" Lucas said. For this technology, he is determined to get it.
