Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The minister held William II's hand and said in a low voice, "You can't show Lin Yuan this thing!"

William II said: "Why can't he see it?"

The minister said: "This is the latest artillery shell equipped by our German navy. As far as we know, even the British are not equipped with such shells. What if Lin Yuan saw this shell and he told these things? ?”

William II said to the minister: "Haven't you seen Lin Yuan's appearance today? Looking at his arrogant expression, it seems that there is nothing in our German Empire that he can appreciate. Could it be that there is nothing in our German Empire? Is it not as good as their Chinese ones?"

The minister hurriedly said: "Which Chinese officials are not like this, they think they are the center of the world, so it's not surprising that they don't like our things. After all, what can they do if they don't like it? If there is a chance, we will go to the battlefield Let’s teach them a lesson.”

William II said angrily: "Haven't you noticed that this Lin Yuan is different from other Chinese ministers? Other ministers pretend to understand, but Lin Yuan really understands. Today, none of our things can It's hard for him!"

The minister said: "Then we can't show him our secrets!"

William II said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I know a lot about weapons and equipment, even if he sees these things, it's nothing, anyway, he can't learn the exquisite techniques inside!"

Lin Yuan looked at the appearance of William II and the minister, and he probably guessed what they were doing: William II must have wanted to take out the contents of the box to show Lin Yuan, but the minister refused to let it pass. After a while, I saw the minister shaking his head helplessly.

William II smiled contentedly, and smiled at Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, please come here, I have something good to show you."

Lin Yuan walked to the side of William II. William II opened the box and saw a cannonball lying quietly on the shelf. The body and tail of this cannonball were similar to other cannonballs, but its head The butt is quite different from other shells.

Although the head of this cannonball is also cylindrical, it presents two stepped shapes, as if there are two hats on the cylindrical cannonball. William II smiled confidently and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, Do you know what this is?"

Lin Yuan looked at the shells for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved, thinking: "Could it be that this is a cap-piercing bullet? Although this type of armor-piercing bullet appeared in the Russian Navy in 1894, the navies of various countries have always been unfriendly to it. As a result, this type of artillery shell has been silent until around 1906, when countries learned from the experience of the Japanese-Russian naval battle, they widely equipped this type of artillery shell.”

Lin Yuan was not sure, so he tentatively asked: "This should be a type of armor-piercing bullet, right? And this type of armor-piercing bullet is more powerful than the blunt-nosed and pointed-nosed armor-piercing bullets just now."

William II smiled and said, "What are you talking about? No, guess again!"

After Lin Yuan asked the question just now, he kept staring into William II's eyes. Although William II denied Lin Yuan's guess, the surprise that flashed in his eyes still did not escape Lin Yuan's eyes. , Lin Yuan thought: "It seems that I guessed it right!" So Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't lie to me, I'm sure this is a cap-piercing bullet, and this kind of armor-piercing bullet is more powerful than before. Both are strong."

Lin Yuan pointed to the second bulge on the head of the shell, and said: "There is a bulge here, because the part before it is not integrated with the shell, we call this thing 'cap', which means The strength of this kind of armor-piercing projectile is that when the projectile hits the deck, the cap in front of the projectile is broken first. Although the cap is broken, the projectile behind is not affected, so it is said that the projectile is protected by the cap. .”

"After the cap in front of the projectile hits the armor, it will produce a certain penetration effect, which reduces the armor's anti-strike ability, so the projectile behind is at the penetrated place, penetrating the armor. I don't know. Right?"

William II couldn't believe his ears, he murmured, "You even know this, how is it possible?" William II suddenly looked serious, pointed to the first protrusion on the head of the cannonball and said, "Then you Tell me, what is this protrusion for?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The front body and the rear quilt are not integrated. We call this part the 'hood'. This type of hood is generally made of light and thin materials. It touches the armor. When it is broken, it will neither cause jumping nor affect the subsequent process. Its only function is to give the shell a streamlined body, reduce its resistance during flight, and ensure the speed of the shell!"

William II was stunned on the spot, and Lin Yuan thought: "The performance parameters of this shell are very important to us, it determines how thick our warship needs to be equipped with armor, so I must get the detailed information of this shell, But judging from what the minister said, the production process and performance parameters of this shell must be kept strictly confidential, so is there any way to get the performance parameters of this capped armor-piercing shell?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at Shen Wanqing in the distance. She was also interested in all kinds of cannonballs, so she sat on the side shelf boredly, blowing the hair on her forehead and playing with it. The German stared at her greedily.

Lin Yuan smiled at William II and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to talk to my companion." William II just wanted to get rid of the embarrassment just now, so he agreed with a smile.

Lin Yuan came up to Shen Wanqing and whispered to her, "I finally found something good, I need you to do a good job of reconnaissance."

Shen Wanqing asked, "Did you find anything good?"

Lin Yuan pointed his eyes in the direction of the capped armor-piercing bullet he had just seen, and then said: "That thing is a capped armor-piercing bullet. If we rank the armor-piercing bullets, the lowest ones are pointed and blunt. It is a cap-piercing shell, and the most advanced one is a shell-piercing shell. Although that shell is not as good as our shell-piercing shell, it is considered good in this era, and I need to get its information."

Shen Wanqing said: "I don't know anything about shells, what information do you need to know?"

Lin Yuan said: "I first need to know the dimensions of this armor-piercing projectile, so that I can analyze its force in the air and roughly calculate its range; secondly, I need to know the material of this projectile. information so I can know how powerful the armor-piercing effect of this shell is; and finally I want to know whether this shell has explosives installed in it."

Shen Wanqing said: "Okay, just tell me what to do."

Lin Yuan said: "Let's first find a way to get the shell out of the box. Now it is in the box, and the box blocks its tail. I can't see many parts."

Shen Wanqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "I have a way, you can try it." As she said that, she was about to walk towards the shelf, Lin Yuan quickly grabbed her and said, "You can't go there!"
