Although the directors of Feng Aerospace have some concerns about Guo Yadong's plan, after detailed inquiries, they finally passed Guo Yadong's high-end market revitalization plan.

By building and operating the largest, most luxurious and fastest super-luxury passenger ship, the company's image will be reversed, and at the same time, it will cooperate with the company to rectify the mid-to-high-end passenger ship operation business, improve service quality and other measures, in order to stimulate the entire mid-to-high-end market. share.

Not to mention other cooperating measures, let’s talk about the super luxury passenger liner “Nova” in this plan.

It wasn't easy to build this super-luxury liner.

Even on the board of directors, Guo Yadong has temporarily come up with a simple design plan, and said that the current technology is enough to complete, but it is still unknown whether the construction can be successful in the end, and how much it will cost in the end.

Whether it is the directors or the general manager Guo Yadong, in fact, they are not professional shipbuilders, and they cannot solve more detailed technical problems.

However, there are also shipyards under the Fung Shipping Company, and there are more than one.

There are as many as eight shipyards under the Feng Shipping Company, seven of which are small and medium-sized shipyards, but the Feng's No. 1 shipyard is a large shipyard.

Most of the luxury passenger ships, large-tonnage cargo ships and other vessels before Feng Shipping Company were built in this Feng's first shipyard. The technology has been able to enter the first echelon of the domestic shipbuilding industry.

Before, it has already started to build freighters and passenger ships with a scale of 10,000 tons.

Feng Shipping Company wants to build a luxury passenger ship of 30,000 tons. When the strength gap of the shipyard is not too obvious, it will naturally be handed over to its own shipyard.

Therefore, Feng's No. 1 Shipyard received such a super order soon!

A 30,000-ton super luxury passenger ship!

Thirty thousand tons!

When the management of Feng's No. 1 Shipyard heard this data, the whole person was stunned!

The first reaction was that the people at the headquarters of the company were going crazy, or else how could they shout a slogan of 30,000 tons.

This is not three hundred tons, three thousand tons, but thirty thousand tons.

So far, the empire has not built a 30,000-ton ship, let alone 30,000 tons. In fact, so far, even a 20,000-ton ship has not been built.

So far, among the warships that have been in service, the largest tonnage is the Bandan, with a standard displacement of more than 12,000 tons, and a full load of 14,000 tons.

The one under construction is the India, which was only started last year and is still under construction. Technically speaking, the ship continues the technical characteristics of the Banten, and continues to use 300 mm and 30 times the main gun, and the secondary gun is A lot of 150mm naval guns, although the overall tonnage is more than 1,000 tons, and the standard displacement has reached more than 13,000 tons, but in fact there is not much difference with the Wandan.

Because the increased displacement is more used to improve seaworthiness and endurance, not to increase firepower or protection.

The new generation of battleships that the Navy really wants to carry out technological innovation is the 20,000-ton battleship plan within the Navy.

The Navy's internal 20,000-ton battleship plan is also known as the 'future capital ship plan'. When designing the ship, because the Navy could not find a clear imaginary enemy for a while, it could only think in the direction of the false sky. , which combines some of the arguments of the alien threat theory, and finally puts forward several major technical standards for the future battleship:

More powerful, longer range, and more numerous main guns.

Stronger and better protection.

Faster speed, longer battery life.

These technical standards, just take the literal meaning, are estimated to be the enlarged version of the short answer of the Wandan, but in fact it is not the case.

Because the Son of Heaven intervened in the Navy's plan for a 20,000-ton battleship from the very beginning, the Navy really just wanted to build a simple enlarged version of the Banten before the dreadnought battleship.

But Li Xuan didn't want to.

There is no definite threat. The 10,000-ton ex-dreadnought battleship with mature technology and the price is not too expensive is enough for the time being.

Larger tonnage battleships should have clear technical improvements.

So Li Xuan just passed a few words to the navy, and then directly formulated the technical standards, that is, the firepower of the new warships must be able to crush the existing battleships, in terms of quantity, effective range, and power. multiplied.

The Banten already had four main guns, and if they wanted to multiply, they would have to have at least eight.

Not only firepower, but also in terms of speed, Li Xuan also requires that the speed of the new battleship must reach the speed of the existing cruiser, and the current West India-class dome cruiser has a speed of 18 knots at atmospheric pressure. Under the condition of strong pressure ventilation, Its maximum speed can soar to twenty knots.

If you want to reach the speed of the current cruiser, then you need 20 knots~www.wuxiaspot.com~ To make a 20,000-ton battleship run at a speed of 20 knots, it is conservatively estimated that more than 20,000 horsepower is needed. .

More than 20,000 horsepower is very simple, one steam engine is not enough for two, or even three superimposed, but the hull space on the battleship is limited, and armor is also required to protect the power compartment, so the power unit The volume and weight of the steam engine are extremely limited. Under the premise of limiting the volume and weight, even the most advanced three-expansion reciprocating steam engine cannot do it.

In terms of protection capability, Son of Heaven requires a new type of battleship, whose main armor can withstand medium-range shelling from its own main guns.

Li Xuan actually brought out the technical standards of future dreadnought battleships!

Now that he has taken it out, he did not expect the Navy to achieve these technical goals now. He just set a goal for the Navy, and then asked the Navy to work hard.

He estimates that there is no hope for at least ten years.

Because if you want to achieve the above technical standards, you have to reach the technical level of the original time and space at the beginning of the 20th century no matter what, you need a main gun with a caliber of 300 mm or more, and a more advanced shooting director, optical aiming system, More efficient steam turbines are needed.

The navy postponed the 20,000-ton battleship plan, and outsiders probably thought it was just a matter of funding, but in fact it was more because of technical problems. At present, the technology of the Datang Empire is not enough to build such a battleship.

However, this lack of technology is limited to such subsystems as firepower, power, aiming, etc. It does not mean that the Datang Empire cannot even build a 20,000-ton hull.

As long as you have money and no other technical requirements, if you just want a hull, any of the top ten shipyards in China can build you a hull with a full-load displacement of tens of thousands of tons.
