Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Xu Jingcheng said with a smile: "When I purchased the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships, I inspected the navies of various countries. It is very difficult to shoot accurately on warships. Now it is very good to be able to hit targets 3000 meters away. But the British navy wants to hit the target at a distance of [-] meters, it is simply a dream."

Lin Yuan smiled and did not speak. When he was in Germany, he had already realized that the British might be equipped with an advanced fire control system. Coupled with the salvo of multiple large-caliber artillery, it is not a bad thing to be able to hit the target. possible things.

At this time, I heard the loud voices of the sailors from the communicator: "The first position is ready", "The second position is ready", "The third position is completed!" "The fifth position is completed!" Hixon said: "15 Ready to shoot in seconds, one, two, three..."

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Wanqing quietly asked Lin Yuan, "Why didn't I hear the report from the No. [-] turret?"

Lin Yuan said: "The original dreadnoughts didn't have all the main guns arranged on the central axis of the hull, so the No. [-] turret was on the other side of the ship, and it couldn't be turned around at all."

At this time, Hixon was still counting: "Seven, eight..." Shen Wanqing suddenly asked Lin Yuan, "Why didn't he use the countdown?"

Lin Yuan replied: "The countdown first appeared in a German movie, and people have not thought of using it yet."

While talking, Hixon had already counted to fifteen, and he roared: "Fire!" As soon as the voice fell, everyone felt that the warship shook violently and tilted to one side, but recovered quickly. The effect of the recoil generated by the eight [-]mm heavy guns when they were fired.

Then there was an ear-shattering roar, and then a burst of flames flashed from the artillery emplacement outside the window, and then a burst of thick smoke floated to the window, covering the entire command tower, and soon the thick smoke cleared, Lin Yuan He hurriedly raised the binoculars and looked at the boat, only to find that the boat had not moved at all.

Xu Jingcheng smiled at Lin Yuan: "Master Lin, how is it? I'm right, it's impossible to hit the target at this distance."

Lin Yuan didn't speak, his face became serious, because he had already seen through the binoculars that there were water columns and waves blown up by shells on both sides of the target ship. Lin Yuan instantly understood: Dreadnought The shells have already formed a straddle on the target ship. The so-called straddle means that some shells land on one side of the target and some shells land on the other side of the target. This means that as long as the shells If the number of guns is sufficient, there will definitely be shells hitting the target, so once a straddle is formed, it means that the guns are aimed very accurately, and as long as they continue to fire, they will be able to hit the target.

Lin Yuan knew very well that there was only one warship, and only eight shells were fired, so the probability of hitting the target was naturally low. But if the British dispatched not one warship, but a fleet, there were more than twenty With such a battleship, there is more than one shell that can fall on the target, and a heavy artillery shell with a caliber of more than [-] mm is extremely powerful, and one shell is enough to cause heavy damage to the target.

When the ministers of other countries saw that they missed the target, they all showed disdain. Only Lin Yuan, who was well versed in naval skills, discovered that the dreadnought had straddled the target ship, so he was the only one among the ministers of all countries who did not hit the target. The disdainful person, this detail was discovered by Hixon again, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart: "Lin Yuan seems to know the navy very well!"

Hixon ordered again: "Second salvo, prepare in half a minute!"

When the ministers of various countries heard that a round of volleys could not sink the boat, and they wanted to shoot another wave, they couldn't help laughing. Xu Jingcheng also smiled at Lin Yuan: "Looking at the British, it's just like that. At such a long distance, it's just another shot. Ten salvos are useless!"

Lin Yuan frowned, as if he didn't hear Xu Jingcheng's words. Seeing that Lin Yuan ignored him, Xu Jingcheng turned his head to the side. Shen Wanqing gently pushed him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Xu Jingcheng Why are you ignoring others when talking to you?"

Lin Yuan seemed to be waking up from a big dream, and said, "Oh? Really? I didn't care, my mind was distracted just now."

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yuan said: "Didn't you hear Hixon's words? Prepare in half a minute! These simple five words can contain a full 50 words of information!"

Shen Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "What did you say? What is a message containing 50 words in five words?"

Lin Yuan said: "In our era, the rate of fire of artillery with a caliber of more than [-] mm can reach two rounds per minute, but look at the British dreadnought, the preparation between two salvos It only takes half a minute, what does this mean? It means that the rate of fire of the British warship is as high as two rounds per minute!"

"In large-caliber naval guns, this rate of fire is already comparable to that of machine guns in light weapons! To increase the rate of fire of naval guns, on the one hand, it is to let the artillery get rid of the influence of recoil as soon as possible. The dreadnought must have used hydraulic pressure. There is also the need to use an automatic loading mechanism, because the [-]mm caliber shells cannot be carried by humans; there is also a fire control system, and the preparation time and reaction time should not be too high. long!"

Lin Yuan pointed to the ministers of various countries who were full of ridicule, and said: "They don't understand these things at all, so they can still laugh. The technology of the British has already surpassed theirs at 01:30. If They stand with their country's naval experts and make sure they cry out of tune!"

At this moment, the command "fire" roared from Hixon's mouth again, the cannon roared again, billowing black smoke enveloped the conning tower again, and the wind at this time was much stronger than before , so the thick smoke was quickly blown away. When Lin Yuan raised the binoculars in his hand, he just saw the target ship shake violently, as if it was hit by something!

Lin Yuan immediately understood that a shell must have hit the target ship, because the distance was too far and the magnification of the telescope was relatively small, so it was impossible for him to see the moment when the shell hit the target ship.Lin Yuan knew that the target ship had been shot, so he prayed silently in his heart, don't explode, if it explodes, it means that the British have mastered the technology of armor-piercing explosive bombs!To Lin Yuan's relief, the ship did not explode, but began to capsize to the port side where it was hit.

Others were not as sensitive to the direction as Lin Yuan, so they never captured the moment when the shell hit the target ship. What they saw was that the target ship began to capsize and sink. They all commented: "Why did the target ship start to sink? ? What the hell happened, why didn't we see anything?"

Lin Yuan said in a low voice: "You don't need to talk anymore, the shell of this warship has already hit the target ship."

Everyone exclaimed and said, "Oh my God, it's incredible!" Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Hey, a group of military blinds, it's a waste of money for you to see the dreadnought!"

Lin Yuan looked at them and shook his head helplessly. This action was once again noticed by Hixon. He walked towards Lin Yuan, stretched out his hand, showed that ugly smile again, and said, "You must It's Lin Yuan, right? Nice to meet you."
