Chapter 1525 Daming's Beiyang Fleet!
As soon as the Fengyang arrived, the viewing platform was boiling. The Ming ministers looked at this huge giant and felt a lot - before they were uncertain about the power of this steel warship, they were actually less shocked than amazed.
Shocked?
What's so shocking about this?
Is Zheng He's largest treasure ship voyage to the West bigger than this?
The Fengyang name is only 145 years long.
It is only a few feet long than the four hundred materials warship, far less than the largest treasure ship Zheng He voyage to the West. That is the giant. I am amazed because the Fengyang is actually cast in steel.
And there are no sails.
Many people can't understand why it doesn't sink into the water since it's cast steel - not everyone can understand the principle of a ship, but they understand that iron must sink into the water.
But for foreign guests, that was shocking.
Such a black steel monster, even the wooden warships in his own country are not that big. The Ming Dynasty actually casts this giant with steel.
Especially the navy soldiers shouted long live, which shocked the foreign guests.
I don't understand the language of the Ming Dynasty anymore.
These words can still be understood.
But it's fine.
Because most of these foreign guests have seen the treasure ship Zheng He used to voyage to the West, they are called real giants - they still cannot understand what the steel warship means.
After the Fengyang number passed, it was Zhenyuan number.
The displacement is 200 times larger than Fengyang, but the length and width are similar, but due to the difference in process level, technology, and layout, the displacement is different.
In fact, except for the flagship, the other four ships have the same design displacement.
Because of insufficient process and technology and experience, there is a gap in water displacement after the finished product comes out, fortunately, it does not affect performance and lifespan.
The soldiers of the Zhenyuan Shanghai Army still fired their guns and shouted long live the three times.
Behind the Zhenyuan is the Dingyuan.
The displacement is similar to that of Zhenyuan, both of which are about 1,750 tons.
Next is Zhiyuan.
The displacement of Zhiyuan is still above the first three ships, but it is not much higher, less than 2,000 tons, but the length and width are slightly larger than the first three ships.
It is still a gap caused by industrial level.
Three warships followed behind the Fengyang and sailed far away, leaving layers of waves surging.
Zhu Di coughed and asked Huang Dusk, "I heard that Zheng He said that the names of these three warships were decided by you. Can you explain to me why they were called these three names, instead of being named after the place name like Fengyang and the flagship?"
At dusk, he looked at the steel warships that were leaving a blue and white mark on the sea, and was silent for a while, "Because, I want to pay tribute to the martyrs, I want to let them know that what they did not do, I, Mr. Huang, did it for them?"
Zhu Di was puzzled, "Marty? Who?"
Huang Xun said: "It doesn't matter who it is anymore. Please don't ask again. Please forgive me for being rude."
Yes, it doesn't matter anymore.
Because the Beiyang Fleet was wiped out, it will not happen again.
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and was in a good mood today, so he won’t pursue it.
The last one to arrive was the flagship, whose name was designated by Zhu Di: Yingtian.
This is easy to understand.
The flagship is the core of these five fleets, and Yingtian is also the core of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Yingtian came, the viewing platform was completely furious. Even those who had seen Zheng He's biggest treasure ship were shocked by this behemoth and could not speak.
Nearly thirty feet long!
And it is wider and taller than the treasure ship!
Even at dusk, I was still shocked to see the only protagonist between the giant world, and then I laughed, laughing wildly,
The Yingtian is afraid that it can be compared to the battleships of the twenty-one world.
Unfortunately, the draught is not deep enough, so the drainage cannot be increased.
This size can actually achieve a displacement of 6,000 tons.
But 2500 tons is not bad.
According to the weight of the Ming Dynasty, the displacement of 2,500 tons is actually equivalent to the displacement of 3,000 tons in later generations. This steel warship with displacement is what you are using to resist in the current world?
Especially when I saw the rows of black gun gun muzzles on both sides of the hull, I felt a deep pleasure at dusk: if I am poor, I will be precisely interspersed, and if I am rich, I will be covered with firepower.
I didn't expect that Daming could play with firepower coverage.
Ninety-eight cannons.
There are forty-nine artillery on each side of the hull. In conjunction with the other four ships, there are basically more than one hundred artillery bombings, and several rounds of continuous bombing. How many living people are there on the enemy's positions?
Moreover, all artillery are flowering bullets, not solid bullets like traditional artillery.
Therefore, the lethality is stronger and more extensive.
Japan, it won’t take long to feel the anger of the Beiyang Fleet.
That's right.
Xun planned to form the five battles and about ten warships that will be launched in the waters in the subsequent formation of the Beiyang Fleet. He would do his best to convince Zhu Di.
How tragic the Beiyang Fleet was once.
But the current Beiyang Fleet will be the pride of Chinese children.
However, what Dusk cares the most is the two huge cannon barrels that line up on the head deck of the flagship Yingtian ship, looking up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees - this is the killer weapon of the flagship Yingtian.
Main heavy artillery!
This is also the first time that the Military Arts Academy has developed firearms in the era of firearms and surpassed the military industry!
Hong Jilai made an indelible contribution.
Zhu Di asked Dusk on the side, "Zhenxi Gong, what kind of cannons are the two cannons on the head of the ship? Why haven't I heard Zheng He's report, nor did Hong Ji say that it was created by the military industry in your era?"
Huang Tun shook his head with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is the surprise given to you by the Sanbao Chief Superintendent and Hong Junyi Order, so there is no report. I plan to show you its power in detail in today's military exercise."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and was amused, "Is there still a surprise?"
Very good mood.
He asked, "Then you talk about it first."
Xun said: "This is the main cannon arranged in the displacement of Yingtian. In the later period, other steel warships will arrange this main cannon regardless of the displacement of the water."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "What is the difference between it and the red-clothed cannon?"
Huang Xu said: "The difference is very big. After Hong Junyi Ling learned that Times Chemical had improved gunpowder, he immersed himself in firearms over the years and had a unique idea, which was to develop a cannon that could bomb a tower and a city wall with one gun. He thought so and designed it in this way. After years of hard work and hard work, it finally came true."
Zhu Di nodded, "Tell me the point."
When Xun shrugged, Boss Zhu was a little anxious and said happily: "The main cannon is mainly large enough caliber. The shell is like a flowering shell. It is composed of bullet bodies and cartridges. However, the shell of this main cannon is only one, and it requires four strong soldiers to lift it up. As for its specific power, there is no systematic data to stipulate, so it is hard to say, but what I know is that during the experiment, the experimental body built by Hong Jilai according to the thickness and strength of Yingtian City was bombarded into a slag. His Royal Highness should know about this, but he was persuaded by Hong Jun's weapon order and did not report to His Majesty. In fact, this main cannon is still in the experimental stage. This time, it is also an emergency. At present, it can support the firing of about 17 or 18 guns, the barrel will be blown off, and other firmware will also collapse."
The process is indeed not at the corresponding level, especially the development of special steel, which has a long way to go.
But enough.
Zhu Di took a breath and said, could he knock down Yingtian’s city wall with one shot?
This power is simply crazy.
