Chapter 355: It's time to use the power of the wild

Wang Bu'an turned over the drawing behind.
At the beginning, it felt like how bold people are and how productive they are.
But a few seconds later, he felt that the designer just couldn't let go. Not brave enough. Everything is stingy. Not generous at all.
The main gun has a caliber of 488 mm.
Triple pack.
The two in front.
Two seats in the back.
There are 12 super large-caliber guns in total.
There are more than one hundred secondary guns. Including diameters of 250 mm, 188 mm, 155 mm, 122 mm, 88 mm, etc.
Is this still a battleship?
This is exactly the mobile fort on the sea!
Since it is a mobile turret at sea, what else do you need a vertical silo? Why not install two more turrets!
Redundant!
Purely redundant!
Also, the armor thickness should not be so large.
Generally 550mm protective armor, do you think it was during World War II? Desperately stacking armor thickness is completely unnecessary.
100 mm is sufficient.
Once it is dispatched, it is definitely covered by countless aircraft.
Simply put, just HNA’s own eighth master is enough to cover. Not to mention the main fighters such as J11 and J16.
Before the fighter's dogfight was over, Kuafu had no chance of being dispatched.
There is only a dead end when dispatched without air supremacy. Who can be so stupid? In addition to the notebook...
The underwater parts do not need thick protective armor.
With more than a dozen 056 light frigates around, what submarine dare to approach?
The 056H light frigate has no other capabilities, but its air defense and anti-submarine capabilities are very powerful. Its natural duty is in fact air defense and anti-submarine!
After deducting most of the thick armor, at least 25,000 tons of displacement can be saved.
The hull can be made larger and longer to have more space.
The larger the hull, the higher the shooting stability.
The main gun with a caliber of 488 mm has a recoil that can be imagined.
For the keel of battleships, at least Grade 3 hard alloy should be used. For safety, it is best to use grade four hard alloy.
Each square centimeter can withstand the weight of 15,000 tons. The keel is the most suitable.
At this time, the 50-billion-ton hydraulic press in the Guanzhong Industrial Park seemed to be fully utilized.
The fourth-grade hard alloy has been forged with a 50-billion-ton hydraulic press. As long as the thickness is 100 mm, the defense is sufficient. At least, its own 488mm gun is unbreakable.
The general battleship design has a hidden rule.
It is the thickness of its own armor, which must be able to withstand the bombardment of its own main gun.
In other words, the armor thickness of Kuafu class, as long as it can withstand the direct bombardment of the 488mm main gun, is considered a pass. No matter how thick it is, it is a waste of resources.
"What's the use?"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Bu'an nodded thoughtfully.
The only role is to cover the landing forces to seize beachhead positions.
A super battleship of this kind is equivalent to the ground firepower of an army group army.
No, much more fierce than a group army.
The Army Rabbit does not have artillery with a caliber of more than 250 mm.
Not to mention the terrifying caliber of 488 mm. A 488mm cannon is more powerful than ten 250mm cannons.
The point is that its huge destructive ability is definitely not comparable to ordinary aviation bombs.
The explosive power of aerial bombs is great. But the ability to attack tough issues is not strong.
Unless it is a ground penetrating bomb. Otherwise, the ability to break armor will not work.
The large-caliber naval gun has a good ability to penetrate reinforced concrete.
In theory, the 488 mm naval gun can definitely smash three meters of reinforced concrete directly. If it is shot directly, it can blow up to five meters thick.
"How is it? Chief Engineer Wang, are you interested?" Pang Xihua showed a thought-provoking smile.
Wang Bu'an wanted to say, no.
But in the end it didn't say anything.
Have.
There are big ones.
There is very much.
Getting out of such a terrifying monster is definitely one of the achievements in life!
He likes such a steel monster.
The huge body, thick and long barrel, can give people unlimited deterrence and sense of security.
The point is that even in the starry sky era, battleships have not fallen behind. Only the weapon has changed. Of course, the body is getting bigger and bigger. The length is easily tens of thousands of meters (tens of kilometers).
The design drawings of the Kuafu-class battleship are only 290 meters long. Compared to the starry sky battleship, it is simply dust.
Particle cannons, proton cannons, ion cannons... the Emperor-class star destroyer will take two steps?
"Come on, let's study it carefully."
"it is good."
Pang Xihua said with joy.
Speaking of super warships, the Yamato class of a certain country is often mentioned. But I just don't mention it.
Let's mention something else. Mention those larger than Yamato-level. In front of them, the Yamato-class are all kiddies. For example, the Montana class battleship.
The full-load displacement of the Montana class is designed to be 72,109 tons, which will replace the Iowa class in service at that time as the largest battleship of the US Navy. The Montana-class is planned to be equipped with four 3-gun 16-inch (406 mm) 50-caliber main guns, one more than the Iowa-class. The protection of torpedoes and artillery has also been greatly enhanced. The side armor of this battleship also surpassed other battleships of the time to a large extent.
Unfortunately, before the Montana-class battleships had time to come out, a country that liked caesarean had already announced its surrender.
As a result, the Montana-level trainee died before he was ready, and he stayed on the drawings.
However, if you think Montana is the biggest, you are wrong.
Wrong.
no.
Absolutely not.
The Montana-class battleship is an American design.
No matter how crazy Americans are, no Germans are crazy.
The Germans feel that they are born to be a mechanical race. There are mechanical genes in their blood.
In a particular era, the whole of Germany was distorted by the head of state and plunged into extreme fanaticism. The same is true for mechanical production. This gave birth to the craziest shipbuilding plan in human history---the H shipbuilding plan. Among them, the most powerful is the H45 super battleship that ordinary people have never heard of.
(There are bigger ones. But they are stuck in fantasy, no real drawings. Only the drawings of H45 are basically completed.)
How terrible is it? Just look at the basic data.
Length: 390 meters.
Width: 56 meters.
Type depth: 22 meters.
Draft: 14.4 meters (standard), 15.5 meters (normal), 16.5 meters (full load)
Standard displacement: 170,000 tons. (_^_)
Full load displacement: 200,000 tons. (_^_)
The caliber of the main gun: 800 mm.
Power: 480,000 horsepower. 32 high-pressure boilers. 6 steam turbines. 6 shafts and 6 pulps.
Speed: 32 knots.
Range: 15,000 nautical miles.
This is a real steel monster. No one can beat it.
The length of 400 meters, the displacement of 200,000 tons, the main gun is 800 mm, the power is 480,000 horsepower...
Kua's father is in front of it, it is simply pediatrics.
Look at its armor thickness.
Main armor belt, 450 mm.
Side armor belt, 450 mm.
Horizontal armor belt, 450 mm.
Do you think such protective armor is already terrifying?
no.
This is all ordinary armor.
The really powerful armor is around the main guns.
Main control tower: 750 mm.
Main turret: 900 mm front. 450 mm from the side. 450 mm from the top. The back is 750 mm.
The upper part of the main battery mount: 750 mm.
Lower part of the main battery mount: 300 mm.
All are scary data. The weight of the armor alone exceeds 100,000 tons.
Obviously, with the industrial manufacturing capabilities at the time, as well as science and technology, it was very difficult to actually manufacture them. Even the H41, which has a smaller displacement, has not been completed.
At that time, Germany could not have so many steel resources.
The H41 battleship has a displacement of only about 60,000 tons. Probably equivalent to the average level at the time.
Even so, it has no real chance of being born.
Germans are a natural mechanical race.
But they are born with an enemy against the ocean.
The luck of their surface ships has been bad, and they can only rely on the submarine to win a round.
The various materials of the H41 battleship were taken away to build the U-shaped submarine.
"When are you going to mount?" Wang Bu'an asked.
"It's not me. It's you." Pang Xihua replied solemnly.
"you are serious?"
"Of course. The decision is in your hands."
"Ok."
Wang Bu'an was silent.
He knew why the decision was given to himself. The key is the power system!
According to Kuafu's design, at least 300,000 horsepower is required.
Otherwise, it is impossible to push its speed to more than 40 knots. The mobile turret must also run fast, right?
The single power of the Rock 600 engine is only 30,000 horsepower.
Even if six units are installed ~EbookFREE.me~ it is only 180,000 horsepower. Far from enough. It also takes up a lot of space.
How to do?
It must be to develop a new engine.
The power of a single unit must exceed 100,000 horsepower. Otherwise, it is still impossible for Kuafu to chase the sun. It's possible to be caught by the sun.
It is best to install four to save space.
Of course, if two can be installed, so much the better.
However, in this way, the output power of a single engine is required to be at least 150,000 horsepower or more.
At present, the world's largest diesel engine, produced by Wärtsilä, can output 100,000 horsepower.
The largest gas turbine is produced by Siemens, with a maximum output of 500,000 horsepower.
However, their fuel consumption is astronomical!
It consumes dozens of tons or hundreds of tons of fuel in one hour. Who can afford it?
Only the Rock series does not require fuel.
The possibility of building the Kuafu-class battleship is entirely from the Rock series engines.
It is believed that it does not require huge costs for future use. The fuel cost saved is enough to rebuild a Kuafu class.
Except Wang Bu'an, who can produce a super-powered Rock engine?
"This is a bit difficult!"
"It seems that it's time to use my great power."
Wang Buyan said to himself.
Is it difficult for a single output to output 100,000 horsepower? Not difficult.
Is it difficult for a single output to output 200,000 horsepower? Not difficult.
300,000 horsepower? Not difficult.
400000? Not difficult.
500000? Not difficult.
In theory, it is possible to output 10 million horsepower.
In theory, the maximum output power of a combustible hydrogen engine can exceed 50 million horsepower.
What is the mere 300,000 horsepower demand?
