On the blue sea, a battleship is overcoming thorns and thorns, easily passing through the layers of waves, in the spring of Southeast Asia, the sea breeze is not big, the warm sea breeze is blowing, which makes people feel refreshed, Cheng Biguang stood at the bow of the ship, this is not his Haiqi, but a Qingdao shipyard just built, a cutting-edge destroyer, without the displacement of 4500 tons of Haiqi, this is named Mingshan class destroyer, named after the famous mountain of Chinese Buddhism and Taoism, this is the first ship, named Wutai Mountain.

Mingshan class, is the northwest absorbed Germany's advanced science and technology, and finally produced a destroyer, referring to this era, just had a prototype of the destroyer concept, and added the things of later generations, you must know that the destroyer of this era, there is no clear positioning, anti-submarine, ground attack, torpedo attack, these are his roles, but they are all unprofessional, some understatement plausible.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about the role of destroyers, in this era of 1300 tons to 1500 tons of level, continue to enlarge, the destroyer enlarged to 2800 tons, using a steam turbine as the power, because the power of the northwest is the best in the world, coupled with the special miniaturization, the destroyer has a higher speed, 32 knots of speed, even compared to the destroyers of World War II, it can not be regarded as very outdated, 2 twin 130 mm guns, give him stronger firepower, Four 533-mm torpedo tubes were two, one in front and one behind, and most importantly, he was equipped with a newly developed sonar system and depth charges in the northwest. The sonar system has been gradually improved after years of research and development in the northwest. For submarines that do not have sound muffling tiles installed, they have a more accurate detection ability, which is also hidden as a killer feature in the northwest. In addition to the above roles. There are also at least 8 twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 12-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, in short, this is a small battleship that has the weapons of the battleship to the extreme, and is armed to the teeth from top to bottom.

As one of the important leaders of the future navy, Cheng Biguang's car is certainly not such a destroyer, this is used for temporary missions, and he will be the commander of the naval task force in the future. Enter the Fantasy-class battleships and command the battle of real battleships, and now. All the ships are in the Qingdao shipyard, where the final post-production work is completed intensively.

The sun gradually turned westward, although there was no chart in front of Cheng Biguang, but everything around. It was imprinted in his mind. This is already close to Borneo, and bypassing the road ahead, it is time to reach the training area of Scheer's fleet.

After more than half a year of training, most of the subjects of the task force have basically completed the training, and they are doing the final familiarization and finishing work, because of the reduction in training tasks, Scheer has noticed something that he has not noticed before, of course. It has to do with the instructions of the Northwest, the previous computer command system. Separate collection of data on individual sub-projects, communication was also carried out with a small number of specialists, and as the training of the German Navy was nearing its end, a special integrated training was carried out.

It was this integration that made Scheer notice, and he found out that the Northwest had been following the fleet, and the part of the experts who did the measurement and shooting was actually doing the gun aiming system, in Scheer's view, the dreadnought had achieved a very high level of aiming, and the new super dreadnought was just a continuation on this basis, but the plan that the Northwest came up with seemed to overturn their foundation, not using a more concise method, but through more data, to achieve accurate aiming.

This is very different from the original artillery calculation method, Scheer is a professional naval officer, on the naval battleship, ups and downs for decades, from the era of sails, wooden ships and armor, to ironclads, all-steel battleships era, he has experienced, it is because of the experience, he understands that the aiming system of artillery, in fact, has been growing, it seems that the hit rate of the former era of naval warfare, compared with the present, hard data, seems to be decreasing, but this is based on the fact that the battleship is getting faster and faster, The caliber of the naval guns is getting larger, and the firing range of the two sides is getting farther and farther to contact the base.

The German High Seas Fleet, in the previous training, required the best distance within 6000 meters, but in the training of the Fantasy class, the artillery experts in the northwest directly positioned the distance to 12000 meters, that is, 12 kilometers, such a distance, for the previous Germany, is unimaginable, but the stable hull of the Fantasy class and excellent artillery make the trajectory and accuracy of the gun quite powerful, even if it is above 10,000 meters, there is a good ballistic performance, The German artillerymen were a little unaccustomed to these at first, but gradually they became familiar with them.

The expansion of the effective range of artillery, in fact, is to increase the power of the warship, before Germany because of the artillery can not do the relationship, can only guarantee 6000 meters, Britain is 8000 meters, recently heard that it has been raised to 10,000 meters, which is quite a loss for Germany, although the British 10,000 meters hit rate is not very high, but it is always a huge advantage, Germany and then 10,000 meters to 6,000 meters of distance, can only be passively beaten, but Britain has been trained, can shoot freely. Now, the Fantasy class and Orion have changed, their range is 12,000 meters away from the high accuracy, after 10,000 meters, the accuracy has increased significantly, I don't know what the British data is, but it will definitely not be better than the Fantasy class, which shortens the distance between the two sides.

But now, when these experts integrate the system, they are required to shoot at a distance of 18,000 meters, or even 20,000 meters. These people are very professional, and their project is probably related to shooting, but what it is, has not been told to Scheer, and Scheer has not asked much, but from this moment on, he has always maintained interest.

In fact, in addition to experiments on ships, at the Qingdao shipyard, the construction of a separate cabin has been going on for some time. This is a separate small room, which can be connected to the sighting devices located in different positions on the entire ship through several communication lines, the entire battleship, 28 points, respectively, for ranging and targeting the relative position of the opposing ship, so that you can get a relatively three-dimensional data, not to mention the data of 28 points, even if it is the data of seven or eight points, on the battleships in the past, the calculation is very difficult, the previous sighting system of the dreadnought, just a few simple data, and then on the basis of this data, With a fixed set of calculation programs and machines, simple calculations were made, and with the experience of gunners and commanders, relatively accurate shooting was finally achieved.

Everyone knows that the more perfect the data collection of variables, the more variables, the more accurate the final result, the two sides themselves are in motion, one or two items are easy to deviate, most of the experienced gunners, are based on the traces of the shells, and then determine the adjusted data, once the formation of a cross-fire, it is easy to hit, but these experts studied, but it is 28 variables of different sizes, and then carried out a huge calculation of data, I don't know how he calculated, but it seems that the results are very accurate, Except for the chaos at the beginning, it seems to be getting more and more accurate later.

That's right, what Scheer doesn't understand, and it's also the killer feature of the Northwest, is the computer, which inputs the collected data from 28 variables in different positions into the computer, and finally gets the results quickly according to the computer according to the fixed wind, ship speed, direction and many other data. The more data, the clearer and more accurate the position you can get, for aiming, this is just a mathematical calculation, this is a well-known thing, but unfortunately the calculation speed, is a big problem, there is no outstanding, almost negligible time of the calculation speed, is the key to determine the shooting, before the problem of calculation is solved, a lot of aiming is not accurate.

After the appearance of dreadnoughts, history was created, but in the future, in the era of missile destroyers and gun-aiming radars, this is meaningless, the key is that the salvo will inevitably cause a certain miss, and those who use the advantage of numbers and areas to increase the hit rate will definitely lose some hit rates, and the missiles and gun-aiming radars, shooting alone, can ensure a high hit rate, and you can completely ignore the problem of salvo fire, so the hit rate is a little higher, and it is not wasted.

The calculator provided by Yang Yuanzhao is just ordinary, much faster than the first generation of computers, almost guaranteed hit rate, 18 distances, hundreds of times, or even thousands of non-stop settlement results, under the control of multi-threading, it can predict the distance of about 1 minute to ensure the maximum hit rate, which is a revolutionary improvement, which is simply a wing for a ship.

This thing is the same as the previous material, it's okay to use it on your own ship, but if you put it in someone else's place, there will be some problems, although the northwest helped Germany make the fantasy class and Orion change, but the example of Germany's defeat made Yang Yuanzhao have to worry, so in the end, he took out this aiming system, on the one hand, it can be regarded as giving the northwest a little experience with the help of the Germans' sea trials, and on the other hand, Germany is strong, which is also good for the northwest.

Take the risk to take it out, then you must ensure the safety of the computer, Yang Yuanzhao also prepared a little something, the cabin currently produced in Qingdao Shipyard is like this, this is a huge, there are at least three layers around, two of which are 50 mm of hard steel, there is a special cabin with filling materials and buffer layers in the middle, that is, after the development of this cabin came to an end, Yang Yuanzhao made up his mind to put the computer on the new type of aiming, because this cabin can ensure that the computer is not leaked.
