My Italian: Chapter 164 Pre-Fearless Era Part 2

, the fastest update of my latest chapter of Yidaili!

"Gentlemen, this time I brought the warship plan I designed."

With the opening of Bran, the chief designer of the Venice Naval Shipyard, the venue immediately became quiet, and everyone, including Admiral Gorek, stared at this outstanding warship designer. Because Bran has this prestige and ability to show his work, it is definitely the only choice for the Navy.

I saw Bran open his blueprint, hang it up, and say. "This is a new warship I designed for the Navy. The design displacement of the ship is 14,650 tons. The full load is 15,720 tons. The ship is 121.3 meters long, 22.9 meters wide, and has a maximum draft of 9 meters."

Following Bran's words, the Navy personnel followed his fingers and looked in the direction.

"The ship is a high freeboard warship with a compact chimney, with two chimneys located behind the podium in a side-by-side mode. I have a sloping armored deck for this type of warship, which provides additional protection for the new warship.

In terms of armor, I use nickel-chromium steel armor. The main armor belt on the broadside is about 79 meters long and 2.95 meters high, of which the extension below the waterline is 1.55 meters, and the thickest part of the main armor belt in the middle of the broadside is 410 mm. , and then decrease forward and backward by 381 mm and 346 mm respectively, and the inside is a 102-203 mm thick teak support layer. The upper side armor is 127 mm thick (49 meters long X 2 meters high), and the total height of the side armor is about 4.95 meters (1.6 meters below the waterline, 3.35 meters above the waterline). "

Hearing this, the navy, including Admiral Golek, couldn't help but nodded. Of course, with the exception of the group of Andoshar Shipyard who had not yet introduced the plan, the expressions of the other shipyards became unsightly. Because as soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. Although the designer Bran has not finished speaking, many people can feel that this is definitely a good battleship.

But for Bran, he hadn't finished speaking, and I saw him continue to introduce.

"In addition, in terms of power, I use two 3-cylinder vertical three-expansion steam engines with a 4-axis dual-rudder design. Under normal ventilation conditions, the power can reach 14,000 indicated horsepower, and during forced ventilation, it is 16,000 indicated horsepower, which can make warships. Hit 18.1 knots.

The designed coal reserve is 1000 tons, the normal 1200 tons, and the maximum loading capacity is 1560 tons. The endurance is 2980 nautical miles/14 knots, 3386 nautical miles/13 knots, and 4920 nautical miles/10 knots. Enough for the warship to sail directly from the East African colony to the Fanglan colony. "

After talking about power and range, he introduced the most important force of a warship.

"The battleship uses four 356mm main guns, with the front two and the rear two in a two-mounted layout. The main gun weighs 72 tons and adopts a front inclined turret. The turret is constructed to rotate hydraulically and can shoot at 280-angle enemies. In addition, on the secondary main gun, I used the 152 mm secondary main gun, and arranged three double-mounted turrets on both sides of the island to increase the number of secondary main guns to 12. In addition, considering the role of the new torpedo , I placed two triple-mounted 406mm torpedo tubes in the middle of the ship, which can launch 6 black-head torpedoes at one time."

After Bran finished telling the various statistics of his battleship, Admiral Gorek, who was the Secretary of the Navy, couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding. Because this is much more powerful than the previous Italian warships, the new warships given by the designer Bran. Although it slightly exceeded the standard by more than 100 tons, it was innocuous. Compared with the excellent performance of the battleship, this tonnage was nothing.

And all but the Admiralty applauded, because everyone has to admit that this is a very good design.

Of course, as a representative of the Andosal shipyard, the old rival Benedetto Brin couldn't help but give his thumbs up, because this is indeed an amazing design. If you only rely on your own design, it is not necessarily better than it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the young Vittorio beside him. He was young and had such good talent. He was simply a natural designer born for the Navy.

And here, Admiral Gorek, who is the Minister of the Navy, sighed with emotion. "Bran's proposal is very attractive, it's a perfect masterpiece, it's amazing."

The compliment from the Admiralty made the head of the Venice Naval Shipyard smile, because His Excellency the Admiral said, if the last Andosal Shipyard can't come up with a better plan, then the Admiral Would definitely choose Bran's plan.

As for the Andoshar Shipyard, the expression on the leader's face became very unnatural after the admiral finished speaking, because he also understood the meaning of the admiral's words, and now he can only Hope is placed on Lord Brin.

Facing the look of help from the person in charge, Brin patted his shoulder with his hand to reassure him.

Then the navy reported to the Andoshar Shipyard, and this time Brin personally played, ready to compete with the old rival's new warship.

"Everyone, this is the new warship plan I brought."

As Brin opened his own plan drawing, it immediately caused an uproar in the venue, because this battleship drawing was somewhat similar to the previous Bran designer. Of course, it was not who stole the other's idea, both of them were It is impossible for someone with high reputation in Italy to do such a tasteless thing. But such a coincidence is surprising.

Facing the situation in the venue, Brin was mentally prepared. Because when Bran opened his blueprint, he knew it would look like this, and the two were too similar. Of course, there is still a difference, because he did not use two chimneys side by side, but arranged them vertically.

However, the people of today are still very good, and they will soon calm down. After the venue was quiet, Brin began to explain his plan.

"This is a new warship designed by our Andoshar Shipyard for the Navy. The ship has a design displacement of 14,900 tons. The full load is 16,150 tons. The ship has a total length of 124.3 meters, a ship width of 22.1 meters, and a maximum draft of 8.9 meters. .The ship is a high-freeboard warship with a compact chimney, and the two chimneys are located in a vertical pattern behind the podium."

"In terms of armor, I also use nickel-chromium steel armor. The main armor belt on the broadside is about 81 meters long and 2.85 meters high, of which it extends 1.5 meters below the waterline. The thickest part of the main armor belt in the middle of the broadside is 400 meters. mm, and then decrease forward and backward by 356 mm and 331 mm respectively. The inner is a 57-105 mm thick steel support layer. The upper armor of the broadside is 127 mm thick (51 meters long X 2.1 meters high), and the broadside armor The total height is about 4.95 meters (1.5 meters below the waterline, 3.45 meters above the waterline).

In addition, in terms of power, I use two 4-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engines with 3 shafts and 4 propellers. The maximum output horsepower is 17,500 horsepower and the maximum speed is 19.1 knots. The design coal reserve is 1050 tons, the normal 1300 tons, and the maximum loading capacity is 1600 tons. The endurance is 2850 nautical miles/15 knots, 3470 nautical miles/13 knots, and 5250 nautical miles/10 knots. "

Next, the designer Brin said the layout of the artillery~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, there is nothing controversial about this aspect. The layout of the first two and the second two started from the Venice level. However, Brin's plan reduced a set of 152mm secondary guns for the new warship, but added 8 57mm secondary guns for combating small warships.

After Brin finished speaking, the scene was quiet. It's not that they have any dissatisfaction with Brin's designers, but that the design is so amazing that the battleship ran out of the cruiser's speed, so why not surprise them!

Don't underestimate the speed of only one section higher, but how much effort it takes, and then many designers couldn't help whispering, really worthy of being the designers of armored cruisers.

The most entangled among them is Admiral Golek. These two plans stumped him. He wanted both, but he could think about it, but it was impossible in practice. The Navy did not have so much money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak. "Except for the people from Andosal Shipyard and Venice Shipyard who stayed, others can go out first."

Following the words of His Excellency the Admiral, the others could only leave with disappointed expressions. They knew that this bid was a failure, and they could only wait for the two major shipyards to decide the winner.
