1890 King of Southeast Asia

The sea was fell into fatigue, and the two sides repaired the warships, but this also made countries around the world see the intuitive power of quick guns with large -caliber guns.

Then countries have fallen into a strange vortex:

Due to technical and conceptual restrictions, the development of large -caliber fast -fired guns fell into a bottleneck period, and the development of eight -inch guns was stuck.

The small -caliber artillery exposes the essence that can only be scraped. Even when playing Jingyuan, in the six hours of naval battles, I ate more than 70 six or 7 -inch artillery shells. )

Thanks to the excellent waterproof partition, although the dome is beaten as a sieve, it is balanced by timely water injection, and Jing Yuan has returned in stunning.

The back -to -hard repair also proves this matter. Jing Yuan is the second ship that has been restored. The first is Guangyi. He also ate a total of ten shots. Block it.

As a result, countries have expanded the main cannon caliber of the next -level main warships, which has improved the loading time ...

..............

At the beginning of March, Coconut City had just a rain, and the air was fresh and sunny after the rain.

…, 咚 ， ...

Coconut Ship Ship Factory is now a behemoth that occupies a large area than the Surabaya shipyard.

Today's Coconut City Shipyard is extremely lively. The lion dance team, the dragon dance team, the gongs and drum team, the Yangge team, several styles of opera performances, as well as acrobatics, martial arts performances.

Tens of thousands of people participated, and children were worn in the crowd, and they were novelty.

The time was almost ten o'clock, and the crowd began to concentrate on the shipyard consciously.

Coconut City Shipyard has five large docks, two 220 meters long, 40 meters wide, and the other three 180 meters long.

It can build a maximum of 50,000 tons of bulk ships and two ships. At the same time, it is currently constructing a 190 -meter fast cruise ship. It is also the most manned cruise ship in the world.

However, the focus of today is the other three smaller docks. The three ships that are not easy to mess with at first glance are standing in the dock.

"Because of the change design in the middle, we can't guarantee what situations this ship can reach now, but it must be better." The technician introduced Liu Yiming's current situation of the three ships.

Originally expected to be 7,600 tons of drainage, speed reached 24 knots, and self -holding 6,000 nautical miles \\/14. This is the main indicator requested by Liu Yiming.

Then, with the previous year, the cannon factory ordered a six -inch turret, and informed the development of the eight -inch guns to make great progress.

The shipbuilding plan code -named X1 has been changed, reducing the twelve auxiliary guns to eight doors, and a single -mounted turret design.

Fortunately, there was a four -corner turret design, so there is no need to make too much change after deleting and subtraction.

Then it is the use of the turbine. A large Nezha turbine can erupt the power of the original two reciprocating steam engines, which extended the construction period, and then installed two steam turbines.

However, the boiler cannot be changed. The test version of the fuel boiler is expected to be used until 1898. Use kerosene and oil mixed boiler. With two Nezha, it is expected to provide horsepower and design speed of 24 knots.

Then last year, the eight -inch cannon was just right, leaving three dual -inch eight -inch guns.

So there was a monster in front of Liu Yiming.

The total length is 113 meters, 6 meters wide, 6 meters wide, the standard displacement is 8,700 tons, and 9,600 tons are full.

The water line armor is six inches, extending to the front and back to become thinner, equipped with eight -door single -loaded 152 guns, three dual -combined eight -inch guns, one between the two chimneys in the middle of the hull, one front and back.

The mast is still integrated with the command tower, which is particularly novel at this time.

"This is the first -level warship we made. It is normal to have problems. Don't be nervous. The significance is not limited to the warship. If you have a problem, you find a problem and then solve it!"

Liu Yiming is really not simply comforting people. At present, Changluo level is enough to apply for the few overseas influences. The local defense can be handed over to the number of horrible small warships.

"Since so many new technologies have been used, it is a technical verification ship. As long as this ship is not sinking, it is success!" Xu Hui was also active at the atmosphere.

Zhao Jiaxing was depressed, and today the scene was caused by him.

Last month, Liu Yiming, who was stimulated by the British, went to the design bureaus and shipyard every day, and the shipyard, anyway, continued to inspect the progress of the equipment.

At this time, there was a sudden news that the coconut city came. The three cruisers with many fate can be launched immediately.

So everyone in total, put the news out, to boost the hearts of the people, and to deter the United Kingdom.

"Almost, go and preside over the watering ceremony!" Liu Yiming saw Zhao Jiaxing know what he was thinking.

The Zhao family is not a qualified naval commander, but it can be a qualified equipment minister, because he has not been educated systematically, he can look at the development of technology with an open eyes.

Bang!

Champagne smashed at the bow and splashed around.

The ship's locks began to put water.

At the same time, the three quasi -10,000 -ton warships were laid off. No one was so local except the United Kingdom, so the impact was still great.

For example, the eyes of the American consuls on the scene became soft, and they spoke with a smile on the same colleagues.

As long as you continue to crack, the preliminary construction is fine! See if the latter sea test problem will be big.

"It's going smoothly. Why is it so troublesome?" Liu Yiming said with a smile when he saw the three warships floating steadily on the water.

"The Italians still have something, except that they are slow..." Wang Yang hates the laziness of the Italians.

Wang Yang has been stationed in Coconut City for a long time and has been asked for help by the navy more than once. He has done all kinds of things.

In order to speed up the progress, it is not enough to add money, but Italian noodles are indispensable. After Liu Yiming nodded, a batch of Japanese women were temporarily imported to stimulate this group of senior workers.

In addition to the Buddhist Italians, it is difficult for Nanhua to recruit people on a large scale in Europe.

"It's moving!" A group of people in the navy, led by Xu Sunming, clenched their hands excitedly.

"It's just towed by a tugboat, why are you so excited!" Except for Gu Fan, no navy can be so calm.

Unlike Die Qing, Nanhua is an island country. The importance of the navy has increased exponentially. It is completely different to be able to command a battleship.

"No problem!"

The first warship has been completely towed out of the dock. Two tugboats slowly towed the warship that has not yet been equipped with weapons to conduct mooring tests, power system tests, etc.

After the test is completed, it will return to the dock again to install various weapons.

As soon as the first warship was towed out of the port, Secretary-General Yang came up. Everyone lowered their voices. Usually, something happened when this person came.

"Prime Minister, the American Consul said that there is something important to discuss."

"You continue, I will go to see the Americans..." Liu Yiming nodded, isn't the influence here?
