"Of course, after the government catches the murderer, they will be beheaded in public, but not just the murderer's head, but their limbs before cutting off their head." Toth replied, "If the murderer is caught this time, it will be the same punishment." ”

"Isn't that enough punishment to put an end to this?"

"Yes, many people have been executed by the government for such crimes in the past year, but the perpetrators are still coming forward, and the resentment against the government has deepened."

Moraviev sighed as he remembered the tragic situation of the deceased, and he suddenly felt that he should also write about this in the report.

He believed that his report would attract the attention of the top brass when it arrived at the headquarters of the "Secret Agent Bureau" in St. Petersburg.

Tianjin, Dagukou.

"Fourth uncle, these two warships are so big!" Lin Yuting looked at the two giant ships that stood like mountains quietly moored on the sea, and her eyes widened, "Are these two ships that we want to go up?" ”

"Yes, Yuting." Lin Yiqing nodded, and her heart became excited, "Can Yu Ting see the words on the nameplate of the ship's hull?" ”

"See, Fourth Uncle, it's 'Dingyuan'." Lin Yuting replied in a crisp voice.

"Yes, 'Dingyuan', my 'Dingyuan'......" Lin Yiqing softly repeated the name of the ship that had an extremely special meaning for him, a traverser, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"My lord, the motorboat is coming, please get on board." An officer said.

"Good. Yuting, Haruko, let's go up and be careful. ”

The group got into the dinghy, and the dinghy immediately started and quickly sailed towards "Dingyuan".

Slowly, this giant ship gradually grew bigger in front of Lin Yiqing.

Although it is different from the original "Dingyuan" ship in historical time and space, seeing this "first-class ironclad ship all over the earth" still brought Lin Yiqing a deep shock.

This special warship that made Lin Yiqing's blood boil and made him dream, now from the appearance, the layout of the double mast and double chimney is still influenced by the British "Indomitable" iron armor. The hull part, in addition to the design of the battery and flybridge, can be said to be a copy of the German "Saxony" class ironclad ship, which may be why Germany was able to build the "Dingyuan" at such a low price.

Now the "Dingyuan" ship in front of Lin Yiqing is wearing the Victorian livery currently in Europe, with red waterline, white waterline, black hull, white flybridge, bulwark and other superstructures, chimneys, and masts yellow. What is striking is that there is a pair of flying dragon patterns at the bow and tail of this class of ironclad ships, and like the current national flag of the Great Qian Empire, the Chidi Golden Dragon Flag, the five-clawed dragon pattern style is used exclusively for the emperor, which proves that the current imperial court has high expectations for the navy, although this is not the first time that the dragon pattern has appeared on the warships of Middle-earth. It is important to know that the ornamentation of the bow and tail of modern warships is a tradition inherited from the era of sailing ships, and while learning from the West to build a modern navy, China has also learned many traditions of the Western navy, but it is not copied. Compared with the bow statue and curly grass pattern on Western warships, the dragon is a unique symbol of the Middle-earth nation, and the dragon is a symbol of the heroes of the sea. On the two sides of the two ships of "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" and the stern of the ship, the double dragon play bead pattern is inlaid with their respective ship names, and the bronze medal of the ship name also has the exquisite pattern of the two dragons playing with pearls.

Lin Yiqing boarded the "Dingyuan" ship along the gangway, and when he stood on the deck of this ironclad ship, he was full of pride.

The normal displacement of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship was 7,750 tons, the full load displacement was 7,960 tons, and the length of the ship was 96.5 meters, the width was 20.2 meters, and the draft was 6 meters, which was larger than that of the "Saxony" ironclad ship. In terms of power system, the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship is equipped with 2 composite horizontal steam engines (horizontalpoundreciprocating in the history books of Middle-earth usually transliterated as Kangbang machine) and 8 boilers, two-shaft propulsion, a single propeller diameter of 5 meters, the "Dingyuan" measured power of 9,200 horsepower and a speed of 16 knots during sea trials, and the "Zhenyuan" is slightly faster, with a measured power of 9,200 horsepower and a speed of 16.4 knots. The maximum capacity of the coal tank is 1000 tons, and the cruising capacity is 4500 nautical miles / 10 knots. In Chen Wei's original design, it was originally possible to use sail power, but at Lin Yiqing's request, it was canceled with the transformation of the mast. In order to ventilate the cabin, there are four large ventilation cylinders and four small ventilation cylinders on the main deck of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship, which are evenly distributed on the two sides of the middle of the warship, and the air ducts on the ventilation cylinders can be turned as needed. Each of the 4 large ventilation cylinders is equipped with a special device inside to lift the cinders in the boiler compartment to the deck and then dump them by 2 debris cylinders on the port side.

According to the British Navy's charter at the time, a standard ironclad ship should have the following weapons: cannons, torpedoes, bumpballs, and rapid guns. The armament system of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship is completely in line with this standard, and it is a first-class ironclad ship worthy of the name.

The cannons of the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships consisted of 4 305 mm guns and 4 140 mm guns. Among them, 4 millimeter caliber breech steel hoop set guns produced by the German Krupp company are the main guns of the warship, using the French Ghanaian gun carriage, the body barrel is 9150 mm long, 30 times the caliber, 72 double lines, 5237 mm long, the chamber is 1687 mm long (propellant combustion chamber), the single gun barrel weighs 37.8 tons, and the upper gun carriage weighs 7.38 tons. Each gun has 50 rounds of ammunition, and the available ammunition includes flowering bullets (grenades, blasting shells), solid bullets (condensing bullets, trainer bullets), all of which are ammunition sub-packing, with a flowering bullet weighing 292 kg, a warhead charge of 10 kg, and the largest propellant pack weighing 72 kg (the propellant pack is cylindrical, and the gunpowder tablets are wrapped in a silk bag, and the weight is marked on the outside, and the medicine bag of different weights can be selected according to the firing range); The solid cartridge weighs 325 kilograms, with a trace charge in the warhead, and the largest propellant pack is also 72 kilograms. The muzzle velocity of the gun is 640 meters per second, the effective firing range is 10,000 meters, and the power can be described as an amazing weapon, whether compared with the 16-inch breech gun of the "Unyielding" or the 260 mm breech gun of the "Saxony", the 305 mm giant gun of the "Dingyuan" is not inferior in any way (much more powerful than the double-diameter main gun in the original historical time and space).

The arrangement of the main guns of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship is very special, and the same open battery type is selected in the form of the turret, and the four guns are installed in two or two in the middle of the warship, and there is a set of transmission devices at the bottom of the twin gun mounts, which rotate the guns through manpower and steam assistance. In order to make the four guns in the turret turn to the bow direction and the two sides of the ship at the same time, Chen Wei opened the distance between the two open batteries at the request of Lin Yiqing, so that they could maximize their firepower. Different from the usual open gun emplacements today, from the appearance, the open batteries of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ships are not open-air, and semi-open gun shields similar to turrets are installed on top of them, because machine guns with a fairly fast rate of fire began to appear on the warships at that time, and the machine guns mounted in the mast were condescending, which was a great threat to the sailors working in the open gun emplacements with the top completely open. The technicians of Qianguo proposed to put up such a 4-inch thick cannon shield on the cannon in the Lu Fort, and the cannon shield was attached to the base of the gun through several brackets, and rotated with the artillery, which could play a certain role in protecting the personnel inside. In order to prevent all the weight of the gun shield from pressing on the complex Ghanaian gun mount, the Qianguo people laid a track on the top of the thick armored wall of the open fort, and rotated the gun cover with wheels at the bottom on the armored wall. Although they were somewhat unimpressed by this relatively low-tech approach and believed that "it was not important to ship science," the conceited British eventually adopted a semi-open gun cover similar to that found on the Qianguo warships on some of their warships, and the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ships thus created a new type of open battery.

In addition to the four 305 mm guns of Megatron Asia, the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship has one 140 mm Ghanaian rapid-fire gun on the bow and stern and both sides. The actual caliber is 140.1 mm, the body barrel is 35 times the diameter, the length is 5220 mm, the length of the compound line is 4 mm, the barrel weighs 4.77 tons, the gun carriage weighs 5.16 tons, the available ammunition includes flowering bullets and solid bullets, the average weight is 51 kg, and the largest propellant pack weighs 17 kg. The muzzle velocity of the gun is 580 m / s, and the effective firing range is 11000 m. Two of the four guns were mounted in two enclosures at the end and were rotated by manpower. The other 2 are mounted on both sides of the stern of the ship and are open batteries.

The hull design of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship follows the German "Saxony" ironclad ship, while the "Saxony" warship originally did not have the design of torpedo weapons, because Li Shaoquan, minister of the Beiyang Navy, was extremely favored by cutting-edge torpedo weapons, so the technical personnel of the Qianqian and German armours added three 14-inch (355 mm) caliber torpedo tubes and 21 mines on the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship, all of which were advanced German Schwartzkopf phosphor copper torpedoes, also known as black-headed torpedoes. Two of the torpedo tubes were arranged on the port side of the front of the warship, in front of the ironclad fort; The other one is arranged on the midline of the warship's stern, and the launch port is located below the dragon pattern on the stern of the warship. This improvement was so successful that shortly after the completion of the two warships of the "Dingyuan" class, Germany also made exactly the same modification of its four "Saxony" ironclad ships as the "Dingyuan" class.

The two ironclad ships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" each carry two carrier-based torpedo boats, which are named "Dingyi" and "Dinger"; "Town 1" and "Town 2", with a displacement of 16 tons, a length of 19.5 meters, a speed of 15 knots, and a 14-inch torpedo tube on the left and right sides of the bow. This design is imitated from the "Indomitable" ironclad ship, mainly considering that although the small torpedo boat is more powerful, it cannot sail long distances to the open sea because of its small coal load and short voyage, so it is attached to a large warship or a special barge, and after arriving at the combat area, it is hoisted into the water to sail on its own, so as to play the effect of a surprise soldier. In order to hoist these two torpedo boats, the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ships were equipped with a special boom on the back mast. Soon after the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" returned to China, the four torpedo boats carried by the 2 ships were unloaded and joined the torpedo boat unit.

Like the previous armored cruisers of the Kaiji-class class, the ironclad ships of the Dingyuan-class were also equipped with angles of attack. The angle of attack was an important weapon on warships at that time. Since the Battle of Orissa in Italy, it has become popular among the navies of various countries, mainly used to ram enemy ships at close range, and the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" ships have sharp collision angles under the bow of each ship, and the appearance is exactly the same as that used by the "Saxony" class ironclad ships.

At the request of Lin Yiqing, the "Dingyuan" ironclad ship was also equipped with a large number of small-caliber rapid-fire guns, mainly the Harbgars type built by the ship, with a total of 12 guns, namely: 2 6-pound (57 mm) single-barreled Haqikaisi machine guns, with a caliber of 57 mm, a gun body length of 2515 mm, and a weight of 440 kg, and the ammunition was divided into flowering bullets and solid bullets, with an average weight of 2.72 kg, and a steel plate with a thickness of 120 mm could penetrate at a distance of 274 meters during the test. 2 3-pounder (47 mm) single-barreled Haggaeus guns, the same shape as the 6-pounder gun, caliber 47 mm, barrel length 2012 mm, barrel weight 229 kg, ammunition divided into flowering shells and steel bullets, weighing 1.405 and 1.46 kg respectively, at a distance of 274 meters, can penetrate 90 mm thick steel plates. The rate of fire is 20 rounds per minute, the range is 4575 meters. Both the 6-pounder and 3-pounder guns were mounted on the aft deck of the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships. 8 2-pounder (37 mm) five-barreled Habekis guns. It is a multi-barreled revolving machine gun, which is also manufactured by the shipmaster's gun. The gun is 740 mm long and weighs 200 kg, and the ammunition is also divided into flower and solid shells, with an average weight of 1.1 kg. At a distance of 274 meters, it can penetrate 24 mm thick steel plates. Two doors are installed in the upper mast (called the battle mast) of the front and rear masts of the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships, and the remaining four doors are installed on both sides of the aft deck near the chimney to the rear mast.

In addition to the above-mentioned armaments, the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ships are also equipped with four 75-mm sampan guns. Manufactured by the German Krupp company, it is similar to the Krupp camp guns that were heavily equipped in the armies of various countries at that time, except that there is a set of gun mounts for installation on ships in addition to the army gun mounts. The barrel of the gun is 3230 mm long, weighs 750 kg, and with flowering shells, it weighs 5.85 kg. This gun is mainly used by the marines after they go ashore, and can also be temporarily placed in appropriate positions on the ship if necessary.

The protection design of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ships adopts the same ironclad type as the "Indomitable" and "Saxony". The length of the ironclad fort is up to 48.5 meters, from the superstructure to the side waterline and below, the hull of the warship is tightly wrapped with millimeters of steel surface ironclad except for the bow and tail parts, and the key parts of the entire middle part of the warship, such as the ammunition depot and the power department, are in the protection of the ironclad fort. It should be pointed out that at the time of the construction of the "Dingyuan" class, the world's newest armor was the Kangbang armor invented by the British, that is, the steel composite armor, also known as the steel-faced iron armor, of which the "Dingyuan" ship used the British-made steel-faced iron armor. However, the Germans did not want to use all the steel-faced iron armor of the British, and wanted to open up their own game in this regard, so the Germans finally produced their own steel-faced iron armor through repeated trials, and it was first applied to the "Zhenyuan" ship. Among the "Saxony" class ironclad ships, two warships that were built later than the "Zhenyuan" ship, that is, they adopted steel-faced ironclad at the right time. The "Zhenyuan" became the first type of warship in the German shipbuilding industry to adopt composite armor, providing technical accumulation for the German shipbuilding industry.

Outside the protective area of the ironclad fort, the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships are equipped with 76 mm thick armored decks at the bow and tail to enhance their protective capabilities, and the gun mounts of the two 305 mm exposed batteries are 305 mm armored, while the semi-open gun shields of the 305 mm cannons are only 4 inches thick. In terms of the internal structure of the hull, a double-layer bottom and watertight compartment design is adopted: "The bottom iron plate is more than one mile (meter) apart, and there is a double-bottom iron plate, which is connected up and down with the keel ridge plate, and is connected vertically and horizontally with straight ribs, and is cut into a partition of 58 grids, so that the bottom of the ship is occasionally damaged when the battle is encountered, and the water cannot be irrigated." The double-decker bottom is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower cabins...... The upper, middle, and lower compartments are each made of iron plates and have one hundred and fifty-four compartments, which are ready for water irrigation when bombed."

The exterior deck of the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship is mainly divided into two layers, both of which are laid with teak floors. Located on the lower floor is the main deck, which is mainly used for coal loading and anchoring operations due to the low freeboard and easy to go up to the waves. On the main deck in the middle of the hull, there are 12 iron caps similar to sewer covers on the left and right, which are the coal filling ports of the coal tank; Near the coal filling, there are 12 smaller diameter lids for lighting below deck, and 16 windows of the same function on the main deck at the rear of the warship. At the front of the main deck, there is an anchor bed on the left and right sides of the bow with a high inner and low outer side, on which are placed a total of 4 iron anchors with 2 large and 2 small, which are hoisted by 2 huge booms on the first deck. At the rear of the main deck, there is also a slightly smaller anchor bed on the left and right of the stern, where two standard naval anchors are placed, which are hoisted by two nearby hanging anchors. In addition, there is a set of davits on each side near the bow of the ship, where two 8-oarled sampan dinghies are suspended.

The main operating deck of the "Dingyuan" class ironclad ship is the deck located at the top of the bow and tail towers, which is the main activity area of the sailors. (To be continued.) )
