For the rich and powerful Shi Diwen, although the cost of the new steam engine is high, it is still within the affordable range.If possible, he even wanted to order ten or eight ships at one go, and build multiple large warships in batches.But of course he is not the only customer of the "Wuzhishan Type C" steam engine, and the production capacity is extremely limited. Even if he buys the full price directly, he can only enjoy the order quota of two sets, and he has to wait patiently for the factory in Sanya instead of picking up the goods immediately. Two deliveries over a two-year period.
This is also due to the fact that Shi Diwen is one of the contributors to the research and development of the new steam engine, otherwise he might not be able to place an order for this new steam engine in the first three years of production.
Shi Diwen knew that this was because Sanya's shipyard was also developing new ships, so this type of steam engine was urgently needed as a part of the new ship, but which one was better between Sanya's research and development results and the glorious class he designed? , there is no more information available for comparison.
If the East China Sea Region can develop a new type of warship on its own, it will have a huge positive effect on consolidating the status of Shi Diwen himself and the East China Sea Fleet.Moreover, a huge amount of funds have been invested in the early stage of the research and development of the Glory-class battleship, so no matter what the research and development progress in Sanya is, Shi Diwen will continue to carry out this project.
In this atmosphere of competition between the two places, the first ship of the Glory class was launched two years ago, and the research and development progress has successfully caught up with Sanya.After completing outfitting and sea trials, the Glory-class battleship was also officially listed in the Navy's East China Sea Fleet, becoming the warship with the largest tonnage and the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness among the ships in active service.
The entry into service of the first ship of the Glory class warship "Zhoushan" became a sensational news in Haihan at that time, and it was also a symbolic construction achievement in the 20 years since Zhoushan was brought under the rule of Haihan.However, although relevant news was published in several major newspapers at that time, and there were even sketches drawn by hand in the Times, for people as far away as Sanya, the Glory-class warship was just a code name. It is difficult for people in different places to imagine what the new warship looks like and how powerful it is.
As a senior staff officer in the Ministry of National Defense, Ha Jianyi certainly knew more information than the publicly reported information, so he was able to identify the real thing as soon as he saw it.The others realized that they were lucky enough to see the true appearance of this new type of warship outside Dinghai Harbor after hearing his reminder.
Compared with the Majestic-class warships with a displacement of less than 20 tons, the Glory-class warships are more than twice as large visually. The hull is nearly half longer than the Majestic-class warships, with a total length of more than [-] meters. The width is nearly [-] meters, and the striking large chimney at the middle and rear of the hull also indicates that the ship is equipped with an advanced steam power system.However, in order to ensure its sea endurance, the ship still retains three tall masts, and sails can still be used to sail under non-wartime conditions to reduce unnecessary coal and fresh water consumption.
The densely packed gun ports on both sides of the old-style battleship no longer exist on the hull of this Glory-class battleship. Instead, there are rotating forts distributed on the front and rear decks and both sides. Six, but those in the know know that the naval guns equipped with this new type of warship are far from comparable to the old-style artillery in terms of combat performance. They have absolute advantages in range, accuracy, and strike power. The strength of the firepower output has actually been fully verified on the Warrior-class warships in the past.
After the number of naval guns is reduced, the number of crew members responsible for manipulating weapons on the ship is also reduced, and the space vacated can be used to load various materials required by the steam power system.Therefore, although the displacement of the Glory-class battleship has doubled that of the Majestic-class, the number of crew members has not increased. Instead, it has been reduced to about 300 people, dozens of people less than the Majestic-class.
Of course, if the battle requires, this kind of battleship can also temporarily board an additional full-sized army company as a vehicle for quickly projecting troops.After all, compared with ordinary troop carriers, this kind of warship has an unparalleled advantage in speed, and can send small groups of elite troops such as the Marine Corps to perform special operations missions in emergency situations.
Ha Jianyi picked up the information he had and briefly introduced the general situation of this new type of warship to his companions.Although he was from the army, he was fortunate enough to see the most advanced equipment of the navy so far, so he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
The other three felt shocked when they saw the battleship.After all, in their knowledge, they have never seen a warship with such a large tonnage.Although the hull size of the Zhoushan is quite different from that of the New World in Shengli Port, they have never seen the New World sailing at sea, but this warship is actually sailing to Dinghai Port through the waves. The visual impact it brings is not the same.
"This... is really a big guy!" Tao Hongfang didn't know how to describe the giant ship in front of him for a while, so he could only murmur the most simple emotion.
Ning Zijing also stared brightly: "If a cargo ship with this tonnage can be built, it will be enough to change the current shipping business!"
Bai Letong said: "Such a huge ship should be arranged to visit the major ports of our country, so that people everywhere can truly feel the strength of our navy!"
The official ship they were on finally passed by less than one nautical mile away from the Zhoushan. Although it was still far away, they could still feel the difference in size between the two ships—the height of the official ship’s side was even higher than that of the Zhoushan. It's less than half of that giant ship, and it's too short in size.
Tao Hongfang saw that Ha Jianyi was looking at the Zhoushan ship in dismay, and couldn't help joking: "Brother Ha, why don't you go to Hangzhou and stay in Zhoushan for a while!"
Ha Jianyi came back to his senses, and replied seriously: "I'm on official business, how can I change the itinerary at will... Come back here when you have time on the return trip!"
Although Ha Jianyi was envious of the new warship of the East China Sea Fleet, he knew the importance of it, so naturally he would not delay the business because of it.They were originally delayed in Kaohsiung because of a temporary inspection itinerary, and now they rushed to Hangzhou a few days later than expected, so naturally there should be no further complications.
However, although Ha Jianyi was stubborn, his body was very honest. He took the binoculars from the side of the ship to the stern of the ship, and did not give up until the Zhoushan was out of sight when it entered the port.It seemed that if he hadn't been on a mission, he would definitely order the ship to turn around and return to Dinghai Port to have a look.
