- After sending the elites of modern time and space to the Mangshan Science and Technology Zone, Li Zhe left it alone. Naturally, there was a whole set of systems planning to restrain them. There, they would have two years to learn to adapt to this society and to exert their full potential. His own talents serve the Three Kingdoms Time and Space. Li Zhe has created a good starting point for them to start in the Three Kingdoms Time and Space. As for whether they can seize this opportunity, it depends on themselves.
Their final result is to create a group of local elites capable of undertaking rocket launch missions for the Three Kingdoms era, and then use these elites to complete satellite launch missions. To this end, the Ming Empire in the Three Kingdoms era had already established a group of local elites four or five years ago. A planned reserve of relevant people and materials has been carried out!
The future space launch site will be built in the equatorial region of South Asia, on the island of Sumatra. Here, the linear velocity generated by the Earth's rotation reaches its maximum, which is 465 meters per second, which is one-tenth of the first cosmic speed of 7.9 kilometers per second required for a rocket to launch a satellite. This means that rockets launched from here can obtain an additional thrust for every ton of fuel burned, making the overall rocket launch efficiency 10 to 20 percent higher than in temperate regions. The rocket thrust increases, and the fuel Consumption is reduced and the rocket life will be greatly extended.
In addition, this area is an island area with vast water and sparsely populated areas. The transportation and launch of rockets will be safer. Even if the rocket fails to launch, the debris produced by the rocket will not cause major damage. Compared with the Chinese nation in modern time and space, it has greater innate advantages.
Currently, construction is going on there in full swing. For the future of the Ming Empire!
¡¡
Qingdao, the most important military port in the East China Sea region of the Ming Empire. It is also the home port of the mainland fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Ming Dynasty.
Surrounding Jiaodong Bay. The Imperial Navy Shipyard stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are huge dry docks one after another. Huge chimneys are densely covered like a forest, and the thick smoke gushing out covers the entire sky. This is a scene from the era of the great steam engine industry, the most intense era of steel advancement!
What makes up all of this are the empire¡¯s more than five million crew members, technicians, shipyard workers, and the low-level dock workers who serve these people, a considerable number of whom are slaves!
The empire's shipbuilding industry has reached the point where it has fully understood and put into play the technologies of the steam engine era in modern time and space, such as small water tube boilers and three-expansion steam engines. From paddle wheels to propellers, from wooden sails to steel battleships, basic subjects such as pistons, gas expansion theory, and fluid dynamics are finally being enriched!
Because the empire¡¯s technological development has always been changing with the deciphering and imitation of scientific and technological data in modern time and space. Therefore, the development of the empire's steel manufacturing, mechanical processing, fluid mechanics, mechanical principles, etc. was not at all a sequential development like modern time and space.
Often before the theory of a machine is fully understood, the drawings of another new machine appear. The actual construction link, which is at the most downstream of the entire scientific and technological system, has always been in a state of confusion and drastic and constant changes. Leading to the theory of the entire mechanical structure, to design, to metal smelting, to machining. Every link is almost completely disconnected.
This has also resulted in wooden sailboats, early paddle steamers, and in recent years ironclads and real all-steel battleships on the oceans of the empire. prevail at the same time.
On the one hand, it is for cost. A large number of wooden sailboats still firmly maintain their competitive position in commercial transportation. On the one hand. The popularity of steam engines has led to the performance advantages of a large number of new steel steamships gradually becoming apparent. This situation lasted until five years ago, when the empire finally began to use macro policies to encourage and support the standardized modernization process of the empire's shipbuilding industry. After several years of continuous industrial transformation, the modular machinery manufacturing process finally began to spread widely.
From design to process separation, to the production, installation and construction of integrated components, the splicing of a large number of modular components, and finally forming a complete hull. This new shipbuilding model and the application of a large number of steel machinery have made Imperial Shipbuilding The industry was completely reborn, the process was simplified, the production cycle was shortened, and the cost was greatly reduced. Finally, when facing the wooden sail warship, it showed its comprehensive advantages from performance to cost!
Steel replaced wood, propellers replaced sails, and the empire's shipbuilding industry was reborn and ushered in new glory!
The famous general-class all-steel battleship is the answer to the imperial shipbuilding industry's military applications!
Today is the day it goes to sea!
At the port, tens of thousands of people crowded in darkness, craning their necks, waiting to see the appearance of the most powerful maritime warship in the empire.
And the captain of the scheduled first ship of the Imperial Admiral-class battleship Li MuColonel Wang Ji of the Imperial Navy's Home Fleet was even more nervous. The imperial people here were all the family members of the Home Fleet stationed in Qingdao, including their own children and wives. In the minds of these people, the more powerful the A battleship means that it is safer for their loved ones to go to sea. Therefore, the birth of this new type of battleship is also very important to them! Pairs of relatives' eyes and eager gazes are looking here!
Under the spotlight, even a battle-hardened old man like him can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
With the sound of a cannon, the huge dry dock opened, and amid the huge sound of machinery, a shy figure emerged from behind the lock! It has a silver-gray coating and a beautiful spherical bow. It is 180 meters long and 25 or 6 meters wide. The long and narrow streamlined body has long become the standard shape of imperial warships. The whole body is covered with steel, and key parts have strengthened protection. The average armor coverage reaches 160 mm. , as for the key parts, especially the front armor of the turret, the protection strategy is as thick as 360 mm, which makes its sea survivability extremely excellent. Of course, in fact, in this time and space, there is no enemy that can threaten it.
Immediately after, water filling began, with a draft of 8.4 meters. The huge body with a fully loaded displacement of 24,000 tons slowly floated up. After a while, after an order was given, it slowly slid along the track into the deep water of the port. At that moment, the entire audience suddenly burst into cheers!
Amidst the cheers of everyone, the Li Mu entered the sea. With a powerful power of more than 32,000 horsepower produced by four triple-expansion steam engines and 12 water tube boilers, it first started cruising at a speed of 15 knots, and then slowly accelerated. , opened to a maximum speed of 22 knots per hour, and only slowed down the ship when it approached an uninhabited island in the established sea area.
Wang Ji ordered the raised observers to conduct surveying and mapping. After receiving the data transmitted back, within a short while,
"Main gun ready!"
"Prepare!"
The fire control system on the battleship was running rapidly, and the computer was busy calculating. The muzzles of the three twin-mounted 50 times diameter 256 mm main guns on the ship, two at the front and one at the back, slowly rose and launched towards the target reef on the opposite side. Fangs.
"Launch!"
"put!"
With a series of loud noises, water mist arose near the target reef on the opposite side. After the mist fell, the target reef was not hit. The observer sent back the information, verified it, and then quickly input it into the fire control computer. Under the automatic control of the machine, the muzzle of the artillery was fine-tuned, and the second coverage shot was quickly launched. The six super The roar of the main gun soared into the sky, causing the entire sea to roar involuntarily!
Under another round of nervous anticipation, on the other side, the waves fell, and the target reef on the water five kilometers away had completely disappeared!
"Oh!" The entire battleship was filled with cheers of victory from the boys!
