The high-speed forward giant ship, roaring across the waves, straight forward, the momentum is very mighty, in the high-speed operation, the battleship does not have any abnormal movement, the battleship is like to the whole, row the waves, move forward quickly, the whistling sea breeze blows, with a chilling scream.

Just when Scheer and the others felt that this was already the highest speed of this fantasy level, the command tower once again came with an order, but this time it was another deputy captain who announced the order, and he said with a little excitement: "The overload is really on, increase the output of the boiler!" ”

Scheer was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "What is this overload?" ”

"It's a special acceleration!" Fabian said calmly.

"Can you still speed up?" Scheer's face was full of astonishment, the current speed is already amazing enough, and if you can add more, how high will the speed of this battleship be!

Before Fabian answered, the overload had already begun, the original fantasy class was under construction, and the power system slightly exceeded the maximum power output at the time of design, which is a good thing, high power will make the speed faster, but when calculating and testing, it was found that after exceeding the rated power, the speed increased, but the other systems were not very stable, so the speed was reduced, and the rated maximum speed was fixed to the time of design, maintaining the level of the fantasy level. However, a lot of power is wasted, and it is a pity, Fabian discussed with many designers, and finally positioned this state as a special state, which was opened in a certain way to minimize the overall impact is also underway, under the overload of high horsepower. Fantasy-level speed, in an instant. It has increased by a notch, and it has been raised by a magnitude sharply. The huge acceleration cut through the sea and stirred up a huge splash, which was obviously much faster than before.

When the acceleration stabilized and the warship opened forward at a faster speed, Fabian nodded and said to Scheer: "This overload is good, but it can't be used more, maybe about half an hour at most." If you have more, it will easily hurt the boiler, but I think this is very useful, especially when chasing! ”

Scheer nodded, he admired submarine tactics more, this was because of his previous service in the submarine force, but for battleships, he knew better, he used to be the captain of battleships. Sometimes he sighed that it would be nice if the battleship could be faster, and now this fantasy class has subverted his cognition. The battleship can actually run faster than the battle patrol, and this afterburner is on the basis of the original. There is an increase in the strength of the battleship, which is an increase in the strength of the battleship. It's a miracle to turn decay into magic.

In the duel of battleships, there may be a pursuit. A detour to the position can make the battle situation change incredibly, a detour of dozens of nautical miles, an extra section of speed, means a faster entry into the effective position, which is for a high-speed fleet duel, sometimes, the key to death.

The overload test is a bit big for the damage to the boiler, so this test has only been over in less than 15 minutes, but on the battleship, all the officers, the most talked about, is still this overload, some officers began to discuss tactics based on this, high-speed battleships are simply the natural nemesis of the battle cruiser, when the speed is 1.3 knots faster than the battle cruiser, the battle patrol still has the possibility of escaping, but with this afterburner, even if there is only half an hour of change, the battle patrol will definitely not be able to escape.

The speed test has basically come to an end, most of the naval officers understand that this 50,000-ton giant ship, as long as it has the advantage of speed, is enough to act as a capital ship, the British theory is like this, the Lion class is almost no protection of the battleship, because of the speed of 27 knots, it has become the capital ship of the British home fleet, and it is also considered to be among the capital ships, the most headache for Germany, the strongest is their speed.

But under Fabian's introduction, Scheer understands that speed is not the only advantage of the fantasy level, in fact, relative to speed, protection is the biggest advantage, including Scheer, the officers, on board the ship, you can see that in the key parts, the thickness of the armor is not lower than the king level, and the thickness of the key protection in some places is above the king level, itself, they also feel that this is a high-hardness carbon-doped steel plate that has not been made in the northwest, and ordinary steel plates are used to make up, the hardness of the steel plates is there, as long as the thickness is piled up, The level of protection of this battleship, how to say, should also be on the same level as the British Lion-class.

However, the designer's words made everyone understand that the original armor steel in the northwest had gone to the front of Germany, and the protection capacity of Krupp armor was several times that of Krupp, so that this armor steel even became the armor steel of Bavaria.

Say anything else, maybe these naval officers won't care, naval officers above the colonel level basically already know that the Bavarian class, as the next level of German main battleship, he applied the latest German technology, far higher than the King class, this is the battleship that represents the highest strength of Germany, but still uses the northwest armor plate, proving that the strength of this armor is extraordinary.

The armor of the battleship, basically, is impossible to test in the sea trials, and it is always impossible to use large-caliber guns to attack, and it is easy to say that if it hits, no matter what the result is, it has an effect, but if it misses, under the comprehensive protection of the battleship, it does not mean that there are no dead ends, it hits the chimney, or hits other parts, even if it is not important, it will take three or five days to repair in the dock, and at most it will have to stay in the dock for three or five months, which is definitely not a suitable choice.

Armor this thing, more to do on land testing, or the best test, hardness, rebound, and even the ability to protect the warhead, can be, this is also not fake, almost natural, these officers recognized the number jù brought by the designer, although this number jù is somewhat amazing, this armor in the northwest is several times the hardness of ordinary carbon-doped high-hard steel plates.

Steel plates of sufficient thickness, coupled with excellent performance, gave this battleship, far more than the protection of ordinary level combat power, which satisfied the German Navy, no matter what, in terms of the idea of building the army, the German Navy adheres to the defense of the shield, and the battleship with sufficient protection is what they like.

Strong, thicker than any German battleship in service, and superior in speed, surpassing the British battlecruisers, then a slight amount of artillery was enough to make him an excellent battleship for the ages. But today's surprise is destined to be greater, the fantasy class from the beginning of the design, aimed at the 15-inch artillery, the northwest in the digestion of the British artillery technology, with the help of the all-in-one machine, the rapid development of artillery technology, the previous fantasy design, is a 15-inch 45 times artillery, this design Linus still feels unsure, relatively high, and even relaxed it to 42 times, as long as this number is reached, the artillery should be not bad, but the magic of the all-in-one machine, There is also the naval gun designed by Linus with all his efforts, how can this most important link not be outstanding, 48 times the caliber is real, and there is even a margin, surpassing the warhead design of the times, so that the penetration and power of the gun are even higher.

Because it was in the preliminary state of sea trials, even if all the guns had been installed on the battleship, the battleship could not achieve a salvo, and even those gunners were in preliminary contact, and the artillery was uneven, even so, under the single fire of the naval guns, the jaw of the German Navy was shocked. Under the gunners' fire, divided into maximum elevation angles, shooting from various angles, this fantasy class is as good as ever, and the power is amazing.

The 15-inch gun, under the condition of 48 times the caliber, has a maximum firing range of up to 37,000 meters, which is more powerful than the German and British naval guns, especially in terms of speed, slightly higher than the King class, it can reach 3.3 times a minute, as for the adjustment and shooting, the time to prepare for the next design has also been greatly shortened.

The artillery is quite strong, this is the most intuitive feeling of Scheer, it and other officers of the German Navy, suddenly felt that it was really the right thing to come here, such a ship, can completely destroy the current world merchants and a battleship, regardless of whether it is still on the slipway, or has been launched, in short, it is not his opponent at all.

From Hamburg, Germany, a 10,000-mile voyage, Scheer's heart has been completely put down until now, protection, attack and speed, the three main points of the battleship, this huge battleship, all reached, The weight of more than 15,000 tons higher than the Bavarian class allows this battleship to calmly place protection, power, and even cannons, 10 15-inch firepower, far more than 8 15-inch firepower, not to mention that although there is no salvo, but the guns fired one after another, the projectile point landing is slightly deviated, but these are concentrated together, it is a relatively concentrated range, which means that these guns, before they are installed, have been adjusted and reached the best position.

This is the first time I have heard that the guns of battleships have been slowly adjusted after three to five months without discomfort, so that they can achieve the best, and even the gunners are also in the continuous shooting, to achieve a precise process, this is a run-in process, so how can the gunners' training come about.

Sometimes, things that are too advanced, but will cause some discomfort, seeing that the artillery saves a lot of time, but because the gunner run-in is shortened, this is more or less unpleasant, Scheer almost casually complained twice, but he didn't expect that Fabian's answer shocked him, Fabian replied very disdainfully: "If you fall behind, come on to catch up, isn't it just to manipulate the main gun, just fight it casually!"
