Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan pointed to several protrusions on the slideway under the warship and said, "Did you see those things? They are anti-skid devices, and they just stuck the launching bracket under the warship." Lin Yuan said with a chuckle, pointing Pointing to Queen Victoria, he said: "See if the Queen is there. This anti-skid device is not only related to the Queen, but also creates the most exciting moment in the whole launching process."

Shen Wanqing asked curiously: "The most exciting moment? What does it have to do with the queen? What's going on?"

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously, and said, "You will understand soon." Just when Shen Wanqing was puzzled, Prime Minister Cecil said, "Please Her Majesty the Queen to set sail!"

Can the queen start the warship alone?Everyone looked at Queen Victoria curiously, and saw an attendant leading the Queen to a high platform, and an attendant beside him took an ax and handed it to Queen Victoria, then pointed to a hemp rope in front of the Queen, the Queen nodded He raised the ax in his hand high and waved it at the crowd.

At this time, the workers on the slideway had already walked to both sides. They all clapped their hands when they saw the Queen wielding the axe. The rope snapped under the strike of the axe, and then a series of "bang bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the huge monster on the slide moved slowly.

Lin Yuan pointed to the slowly sliding dreadnought, and said excitedly: "Look, the warship has started to slide into the water!"

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise: "What's going on? The queen cut off a hemp rope, and the warship started?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "There are a series of lever mechanisms connected to the hemp rope. When the hemp rope is broken, the lever mechanisms will fall one by one, making the 'bang bang bang' sound we just heard. The final function of the lever mechanism is to loosen Turn on the skids, and the ship will slide."

Shen Wanqing exclaimed "Wow". At this moment, the dreadnought is on the inclined slide, which is equivalent to a falling object on an inclined plane. The acceleration of its fall has nothing to do with its own weight, but only with the inclination angle of the inclined plane and the coefficient of surface friction. However, because the quality of the dreadnought is quite large, as high as more than 1 tons under no-load conditions, the slope should not be set too steep to prevent the dreadnought from excessive speed when it descends.

The dreadnought was slowly gliding towards the estuary under the watchful eyes of everyone. At this moment, an old man appeared in front of everyone, holding a bottle in his hand, and threw it at the dreadnought that was gliding, only to hear the sound of "bang". With a sound, the bottle was shattered by the steel-wrapped hull, and a lot of water-like things sprayed out from the bottle.

As the bottle was broken, everyone cheered again. Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan with inquiring eyes. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That old man must be the chief designer of this warship, or the chief engineer. That bottle There is champagne in it, this is a custom in Western countries, when a new ship is launched, a bottle of champagne is smashed on the ship, if the champagne bottle is smashed, the ship will not sink. "

Shen Wanqing nodded, watched the dreadnought slide forward for more than ten meters, suddenly yawned a long way, and said: "Is it just so dry and slippery? It's too boring, I'm sleepy watching it. "

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "How could it be boring? It's interesting." Lin Yuan met Shen Wanqing's puzzled eyes, pointed to the workers on the side of the slideway in the distance, and then gave the viewing platform to the ministers of various countries. Passed over the prepared binoculars and said with a smile, "Look carefully at the expressions of those workers."

Shen Wanqing took the binoculars and muttered to herself: "What's there to see?" Lin Yuan said from the side: "See, don't they all have solemn expressions?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?" Shen Wanqing replied while watching, Lin Yuan said with a smile: "That's because various problems are prone to occur in the process of being like water, and it is still sliding on the slide. In the first stage, the problem that is likely to occur is that the amount of lubricating oil applied to the slideway is not enough, and the warship stops halfway through the slide.”

"When the tail of the warship slides into the water, something interesting may happen: as soon as the tail is like water, the water creates buoyancy on the ship, and the buoyancy pushes the ship upwards, and the bow of the ship will press down. The load at that moment is quite large , if their first bracket is not designed well, or if there is a problem in the manufacture, it will break under heavy pressure with a 'click' sound, and that scene is quite spectacular."

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "So what you said is wonderful is to wait for them to have an accident!"

Lin Yuan smirked and said: "Or else? This is not our warship, what's so interesting about it! After most of the stern enters the water, more interesting things may happen. The moment the bow enters the water, It will be smashed down, and the draft is actually two to three times the normal draft of the bow. I don’t know how the level of British shipyard design is? If their design level is worse, then the bow will hit the slide heavily At the end, that scene is even more beautiful!"

Shen Wanqing nodded, and said: "According to you, the launching process is actually quite worth watching..." While speaking, the stern of the dreadnought has already entered the water, and only heard the "click" from the bracket of the bow The sound made Shen Wanqing excited immediately, and just when she was expecting to see the first brace shatter, the boat slid into the water unharmed.

After a while, most of the stern of the ship entered the water, and the bow of the ship sank suddenly in the eyes of everyone. The envoys of various countries all exclaimed, but among the crowd, only Lin Yuan knew the way, and he was waiting. There was a sound of collision, but when the bow stopped, nothing happened.

Shen Wanqing thumped Lin Yuan lightly, and said coquettishly, "You can lie to others, those interesting things you said never happened!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, didn't the ship enter the water? There are still some interesting things here. Warships are very heavy, so their kinetic energy is high. Generally, they will rush forward for a long time in the water before they can stop. , this distance will be two to three times the length of the warship. I visually estimate that the length of this dreadnought ship is about 180 meters, so it will rush forward in the water for more than 500 meters, maybe it will hit the protective door of the estuary , the scene at that time will be incomparably spectacular..."

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were talking at the same time, Giles on the side saw their every move, Giles turned his head, called his deputy over, pointed at Shen Wanqing, and said: " Look at that woman, do you know her?"

The deputy said, "Isn't that the reporter from the Lin Yuan Mission?"

Gilles said in a low voice: "Is this reporter's identity unusual? You can see that she and Lin Yuan are very intimate. I think this woman is probably Lin Yuan's mistress!"

The deputy thought for a while and said, "These two are indeed very close and are often together. Do you want to..."

Giles said: "The Chinese have a good saying, a hero is saddened by a beauty, keep an eye on this woman, and when it comes to critical moments, she will become a trump card in our hands!"

The deputy nodded, and Giles continued, "She's just a female reporter, she certainly won't have any big skills, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with!"
