Chapter 410 Chapter 409 27,000-Ton Giant Ship

Zhenyuan, a huge warship slowly appeared in front of everyone, accepting everyone's review.

Next to the Zhenyuan, there is the Iron Duke—the follower of the 10,000-ton class.

With the comparison, everyone can see the difference in an instant. The new battleship is completely bigger.

And compared with the Iron Duke, the new battleship is more stable, not even a slight ups and downs - in contrast, the Iron Duke seems to have a little bit of ups and downs.

The Zhenyuan is just the first sea trial, and it has no outfitting, superstructure, and naval guns. Only engineers and some outstanding naval officers are busy.

There is only one chimney on the battleship that is the most eye-catching.

Judging from the current technology of Dayang Group, the steam-powered steam turbine technology is more excellent, and the power is strong, which is unmatched by Lingshi Drive.

However, the new battleship Zhenyuan is equipped with a dual power system-and there is a backup spirit stone drive technology. Once there is a problem with the steam turbine, or the power needs to be increased, etc., then the spirit stone drive technology will work. That's about 20% more power.

The huge battleship slowly passed in front of everyone. The 210-meter-long hull looks more powerful and domineering. The Iron Duke is more than 160 meters, which is obviously a lot shorter.

Moreover, compared with the dense rivets on the Iron Duke, the number of rivets on the surface of the Zhenyuan battleship is obviously more than doubled-there are still rivets, but because of the larger ship plate and the advancement of profile technology, the riveting process has been greatly reduced. .

At the bow of the ship, Hou Shangzhuo shouted loudly to everyone on the shore: "Everyone, Dayang Group's second-generation steel warship sea trial. The first warship of the second generation is named Zhenyuan!"

Zhenyuan is 210 meters long and 26 meters wide, with an aspect ratio of more than eight times and a standard draft of 10.5 meters.

Compared with the average data of the previous generation of warships, the draft is 1.1 meters less, the width is almost unchanged, and the length is increased by as much as 45 meters.

The most important thing is that our design technology has got a breakthrough. Therefore, the standard displacement of the battleship Zhenyuan reached 25,000 tons, and the maximum displacement was 27,000 tons!

Its combat effectiveness and battery life are more than twice that of the previous generation of warships!

Due to the shallower draft, more slender hull, and progress in power technology, the normal speed of the warship can reach 74 kilometers per hour, and the speed of 120% load can reach 79 kilometers per hour.

In the later stage, the array is added, and the speed can reach at least 130 kilometers per hour!

130 kilometers per hour, faster than the average demon horse! "

After Hou Shangzhuo finished speaking, the battleship began to accelerate towards the deep sea. On the sea in the distance, a silver-horned dragon quietly emerged, looking at the huge new battleship in the sea, his eyes showed eagerness, but he was even more vigilant.

This flood dragon is of course our Silver Horn King. The last time Zhong Shaogan attacked the port, King Yinjiao took the opportunity to tow away a sunken 10,000-ton warship. This time, King Yinjiao was so excited that he stayed in the battleship for several days, and he didn't even care about his wife and concubine.

The Silver Horn King was very excited, it had never seen so much metal, and it was still—steel! This thing is super hard, without any processing, it can block the attacks of the early stage of the transformation of the gods; with two layers, it can even prevent the attacks of the late stage of the transformation of the gods.

For sea monsters, it is too difficult to get metal. Developed this time! A whole steel warship weighs as much as 6,000 tons!

King Yinjiao can swear that all the metals he has seen in the past are not as much as this time, and they are still excellent steel.

However, King Silver Horn gradually calmed down after being excited—the humans on this land have gone crazy! So much excellent steel is actually used to build ships!

terrible! Aren't the humans on land armed to the teeth?

In fact, as a shrewd sea monster, King Silver Horn is greedy and envious of everything on land, but he is also worried and fearful of human beings.

Thousands of years ago, King Yinjiao was still a little flood dragon who had just become sensible. At that time, it witnessed the battle between the sea monsters and the land——that time, Qixia Kingdom extended its hand to the sea, and the sea monsters quit, and under the leadership of the previous generation of dragon kings, they counterattacked the land.

However, in that battle, the Flood Dragon King was injured, and was finally attacked and devoured by a timid mirage dragon in the deep sea.

This incident left a deep impression on King Silver Horn. At that time, King Silver Horn remembered the power of human practitioners - relying on 'metal weapons', that small body could kill sea monsters dozens of times their size.

From that moment on, King Silver Horn was full of longing for metal on land. In the later period, I also got some fine gold, mithril, copper and iron, etc., but it seems that they are not comparable to the metal weapons on land.

Later, I gradually figured it out—spiritual materials need to be refined! It is only spiritual material without refining, and only refining can become a powerful magic weapon. But obviously, such a creative technology as refining equipment, King Silver Horn will not!

Until recently, the Dayang Group appeared, and King Yinjiao began to drool again—a whole mountain of steel was floating on the sea. It's a pity that King Silver Horn had to retreat after several attempts.

Until some time ago, King Yinjiao saw an opportunity-the human race fought within itself, and three warships were sunk.

King Silver Horn observed for a long time, and finally stole a battleship back. But after the excitement, King Silver Horn was a little nervous again—it also knew that this thing must be expensive, and wondered if humans would come back to look for it?

After almost four months, King Silver Horn finally confirmed that human beings gave up. Moreover, there was news from the southern sea area that Mirage Dragon seemed to be facing off against Dayang Group!

In fact, speaking of it, the mirage dragon suddenly went crazy, and a large part of it was stimulated by King Silver Horn-look, I have a steel battleship, how about you? Steel, as long as it is polished, it is a good weapon, and there is no need for refining!

King Silver Horn is also wise!

Hmph, let this Dayang Group face off against the mirage dragon, not to mention I am safe, if the mirage dragon is injured or dies, then I will also swallow a mirage dragon. Although the mirage dragon is timid, it is also a dragon species. By the way, maybe you can expand your territory!

But today, King Yinjiao felt relieved when he saw a bigger warship reappearing on the sea and named it "Zhenyuan". This is obviously aimed at the mirage dragon!

Mirage dragons, you will taste the delicious fruit soon! Very delicious, steel taste, broken teeth!

The sea trial lasted for a long time, and Zhang Hao and others also spotted King Yinjiao in the distance, but everyone just kept vigilant. For the time being, the Silver Horn King is quite sensible, and everyone is safe and sound for the time being - the warship that was towed away last time is not owned by Dayang Group, or even tacitly approved by Dayang Group!

Even at this time, there were soldiers on the battleship waving to King Silver Horn—very familiar! Although everyone is fighting with mirage dragons, King Yinjiao is a dragon, and he can speak human language (so awkward).

Recently, Dayang Group is even discussing whether to make a deal with King Silver Horn. However, it is still under discussion for the time being, and everyone is afraid that the sea monster will backfire.

After the sea trials of Zhenyuan, it was confirmed that there was no problem, and the outfitting began immediately. The first thing to install is - torpedo! After months of tweaking and testing, the combat-worthy torpedo finally succeeded.

Temporary torpedoes are available in two calibers: 300 mm and 460 mm. The reason for these two calibers is mainly because of Dayang Group's current artillery technology foundation. These two calibers are the most mature and powerful. To put it bluntly, the technology is still not very rich, so it can only be tricky.

In addition, the production and design of torpedoes have used a lot of methods such as arrays-no way, science and industry technology still needs to continue to develop.

Zhang Hao and the engineers of Dayang Group did not shy away from formations. It's just that everyone insists on material technology as the core, and can't overly pursue spells, formations, etc., and waste the foundation of technology.

In short, combined with the array technology, this torpedo can reach 60 meters per second underwater, and the range can reach 3 kilometers-this is already the limit of the temporary technology. Because now torpedo propulsion uses gunpowder instead of other fuels. Now Dayang Group still needs further development.

Because gunpowder burns too fast, it can only burn for 50 to 60 seconds with gunpowder propulsion. But in that short amount of time, the thrust is also impressive. 60 m/s, that is more than 200 kilometers per hour, can catch up with many sea monsters.

Also because of the imperfection of science and technology, torpedoes have added spell navigation technology-don't underestimate spell tracking, there are many creepy spells in practice. Such as this tracking technology.

This technology was provided by 'Leng Fengxue' - the elite that the Dayang Group picked up from the southern part of the Taotu Continent and the area of ​​the Demon Sect.

Besides the torpedoes, it's the harpoon -- well, the ballista. This is a ballista propelled by explosives, but after continuous improvement, the first mature technology finally appeared.

New ballista, 100 mm caliber - the diameter of the bolt is 10 cm, and the length is about 2 meters. The front end of the bolt has a folded barb. Upon impact, a slight explosion occurs at the front end of the bolt, and the folded barb explodes.

With the help of the speed of the crossbow bolt itself, when the barb exploded, the crossbow bolt had already entered the target's body.

The new crossbow is powerful beyond imagination. Within a range of two kilometers, the speed can reach 5 times the speed of sound; within a range of 5 kilometers, the speed can reach 3 times the speed of sound. This attack power is enough to penetrate the defense of the general transformation stage.

This new 'Zhenyuan' is completely designed for dragon slaying!

The torpedo has four launch ports, two 300mm and two 460mm.

There are a total of 30 ballistas - the ballistas of the rest of the battleships are all ring-mounted.

There are also depth charges, etc., which also have relatively obvious technological progress.

Only the naval gun followed the previous design with little change. If we have to talk about progress, it means that the range is longer. But in the state of fighting underwater, the role of naval guns is a bit tasteless.

Next to the dock, Zhang Hao looked at the design plan of the battleship and nodded in satisfaction. Finally, he shouted: "Come on everyone, let the battleship Zhenyuan have combat power as soon as possible, next time we will cook dragon meat hot pot!"

"Good!" Everyone immediately cheered.

(Today, Calvin finally released the third update at the last moment.)
