Amid the rolling sound of the sliding blast door, the contents of the unprecedentedly large closed shipbuilding tunnel finally showed its magnificent appearance.

The Dream Battleship Emperor has spent a huge amount of national money, time and resources to invest in the application of the most cutting-edge technology...... Its appearance bears no resemblance to the boat in people's images.

Even the strange-looking ultra-luxury floating cruise ship, the cigar-shaped Zeppelin, still has some remnants of the ship's slender lines, and the Emperor ...... From head to toe, you can't see the blood of the ship at all, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a steel monster bird with a huge width and a greatly reduced length.

If you are from another world, you will definitely use the ancient term to describe the Great - a super huge aircraft.

"This warship is completely different from the half-baked ones that were only repaired and modified from surface ships in the past, and it thoroughly implements the needs of air operations...... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it an 'air fortress'. "The Great Emperor, the flagship of the Defence Force, has a total length of 428 meters, a wingspan of 655 meters, a height of 96 meters, and a total weight of 116,000 tons - it can be called the largest air warship ever built.

The capital that this air beast relies on to boast as a fortress is naturally a strong armor and heavy artillery. Due to the aircraft type, the main armor belt of the Emperor is laid with carburized steel armor with a large inclination, the thickness is 410mm, and the front of the bridge conning tower and turret is as thick as 650mm, and the internal compartments are reasonably divided, even if it is penetrated in one or two places, the ship's high-altitude pressurization system can still operate normally.

In addition to wearing thick armor, the firepower of the Great Emperor is equally terrifying. 8 triple 50x diameter 406mm guns, 6 front and 2 rear layout. Although it is not possible to fire all turrets in the same direction, it is still equivalent to moving two Iowa-class battleships into the air and firing condescendingly. The carrier-based hangar contains four wings of shipborne MDS and a certain number of MAs, which can be used to form a long-range strike force or to protect the carrier with anti-aircraft firepower ranging from 128mm to quadruple 12.7mm machine guns.

In addition to the above firepower configuration, the Emperor also has a special trump card - the ultimate means to wipe a million-person city from the world in an instant.

Finally, the giant ship can climb to an altitude of 15,500 meters, with a maximum speed of 560 km/h, and in case of emergency, there are special acceleration methods to accelerate the ship to 930 km/h for a duration of 7 minutes......

Dillards' intoxicating commentary. Brunhill didn't listen much. She could have memorized the relevant instructions on the construction report a long time ago, but compared to the description of words and words, she intuitively stood in front of the living spectacle and felt that majesty. In order to deeply understand the rhetoric of Dillaz's "air fortress".

When the doctors, professors of the Air Force Battleship Design Committee received the task of the general flagship of the Defense Forces. The first thing that came to mind for the team's manager, Dr. Chad Vogt. It is an enlarged and lengthened version of the Zeppelin or De Fllinger class.

As the inertia of technological development, we use mature technologies to reduce risks and shorten R&D time. There is nothing wrong with that. But compared to the title of the general flagship and the heavy responsibilities it holds, this idea inevitably seems a little disjointed.

Li Lin and the General Staff Headquarters positioned the "general flagship" as the ultimate embodiment of the doctrine of a large ship and a giant artillery that would leisurely ravage the enemy with heavy artillery at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but a huge, sturdy, and stable mobile command center with the ability to quickly navigate between continents.

The Great Emperor has powerful communication, detection, and jamming capabilities, and a huge internal space and a full set of facilities that are sufficient to bring the entire General Staff Headquarters to the sky for operation, which is of great significance to the defense forces that emphasize the coordinated rapid breakthrough of all branches of the armed forces as the core of guidance and attach great importance to the real-time transmission of information.

From a security point of view, this mobile command center is also reassuring. Able to climb up to 15,000 meters in an environment with a large number of M interference particles, pass through the crossfire network built by at least one wing of MDS and shipborne anti-aircraft fire, penetrate the main armor belt 410mm, and the front of the turret and the 650mm carburized steel armor of the conning tower - there is no such thing in this world.

Humans or orcs are only slightly more likely to harm the ship than monkeys are to reach the stars with a branch.

Such a high-end and domineering requirement is impossible to accomplish by relying on the shape of those boats and cigars in the past, and the slender and smooth shape is beneficial for high-speed sailing, but it is not suitable for climbing to an altitude of 15,000 meters. The double-body configuration of the Deflinger class can ensure a maximum altitude of 10,000 meters. But regardless of the price paid by that type of battleship in terms of habitability and armor thickness, even if you further use your brains in armor and space, it is not a smart choice to enlarge the design.

The reason is simple: length is a one-dimensional measure, area is a two-dimensional measure, and volume is a three-dimensional measure. When the length is increased by a factor of 2, the area is increased by a factor of 4, and the volume is increased by a factor of 8. When doubling the size of the Deflinger class, the new ship weighs 8 times as much as the prototype, and this component requires an output and power plant volume...... The product of such a vicious circle, if you can climb to 8,000 meters, you should burn high incense and recite Nanwu......

A week after the symposium began, the little-known Dr. Eugen Messerschmidt and Dr. Alexander Lipes asked why not try to make the air warship look like a strategic bomber?

After a lot of scheme demonstration, theoretical calculations, wind tunnel tests, and noisy ...... When the final plan was submitted to Li Lin for review, the archon was very suspicious that these guys had redrawn the drawings of the Nazi doomsday fighter plane.

The twin fuselage and twin tail brace layout resemble the BF109Z, with a pod-like hangar and take-off deck long chord-ratio wings that are the same as the BV155B, and the side-by-side tail thrust engine layout is like an eerie hybrid of the DO.X and DO.P.252......

Well, the double-tail brace structure quickly absorbs abnormal vibrations, the long chord ratio wing is good for sustained navigation at high altitudes, and it also allows the design platform with 24 huge guns to achieve better stability at high altitudes, as for the tail thrust layout - this is to meet the demanding requirements of both high speed and electronic reconnaissance and communications.

"With the crystallization of all technical forces and the corresponding personnel and resources, this ship will become the key to determining the shape of the battlefield. ”

His hands were in his trouser pockets, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he looked up at the steel.

Like a child looking forward to a toy, like a teenager who has reunited with his lover, the young admiral licked his lips.

"Not exactly. ”

With an admonishing tone, Li Lin said:

"It's not the strongest, it's invincible, it's not a universal or universal dream. It can be said that there are many problems. Still, it's enough, enough to turn the battlefield upside down. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: Come and go...... The battleship in the air has to look like an airplane......
