One night in 20xx, the guided missile destroyer Lanzhou was in the Gulf of Aden. "Xu Jie, get ready, let's go." The captain said while packing up his equipment. "I got it. It'll be over soon." Xu Jie checked himself again

The weapons include a CF05 barrel-fed submachine gun, a QSZ92 9mm self-defense pistol, a multi-purpose saber, and 6 rounds of grenades. "Those pirates came at the right time, and the boys from the special forces were all out.

"They also asked us sailors to guest-star as Marines. It's too frivolous." One person complained in a low voice. "Don't talk nonsense. Get on the boat when you're ready." Five minutes later, Xu Jie and seven other team members drove a rubber boat.

Like the hijacked Chinese freighter sailing away in the distance.

"Attention everyone, check the equipment one last time and prepare to fight." The captain ordered at a distance of 300 meters from the freighter. "Xu Jie, you are the first one." "Okay." Xu Jie neatly picked up the CF05 submachine gun in his hand.

Move to the bow of the ship. 250 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters. Just as Xu Jie and his companions were slowly approaching the target, a rocket with a trailing flame suddenly flew out from the back of the cargo ship deck. "Everyone.

Be careful, rockets." Before the captain finished speaking, the rocket exploded less than 5 meters away from the hull. The powerful shock wave instantly overturned the boat. Xu Jie only felt a loud noise followed by a huge air wave.

Come. Then there was the sound of the body entering the water. And then? Xu Jie arrived at a strange coast.

"I'm here~~" The first thing Xu Jie saw after waking up was a European-style bedroom. He was lying on a European-style bed. European-style curtains covered the bed. Just when Xu Jie was sitting

When I was puzzled, the door opened with a creak. Then a man wearing a butler's costume walked in: "Hello, do you need help? Sir?" "Oh my God, I actually traveled through time~~ Or I wore it to Italy~" I was stunned.

After a while, Xu Jie finally saw his situation from the layout of the house. As for the reason, it was very simple. If we were still in the 21st century, which house have you seen without electrical appliances?! As for Italy? It's easier.

This foreigner who appeared out of nowhere spoke Italian~~~. "Where am I?" Fortunately, Xu Jie's English is not bad. Xu Jie's performance surprised Koum.

A barbaric yellow man could actually speak pure Oxford English. It really surprised him. "This is a palace in Italy, entrusted to the private residence of Count Leo Cuniberti." Koum was stunned for a moment and replied.

.

"Entrust Leo, Cuniberti?" Xu Jie said with a big head. "Did the designer of **Andoshar Shipyard entrust Leo Cuniberti?" Kumu was stunned for a moment, he always wanted to

I don’t understand that a yellow man picked up from the seaside would actually know about entrusting Count Leo to Count Leo. But his good cultivation made Koum quickly return to normal, at least on his face. "Do you know the Count? Yes,

This is the private residence of Count Cuniberti, the designer of Andoshar Shipyard. "I don't know him, I just know his name for a long time." Xu Jie calmed down his mood. "Excuse me, how many days have I been here?" Xu Jie was a little embarrassed.

asked. "Today is December 23, 1888. As of today, you have been recuperating here for three days." Koum said with a smile. "December 23, 1888?" Xu Jie almost spit out blood.

And out. "The legendary Sino-Japanese War time travel happened to me like this inexplicably? And it also ended up in Italy?!" While Xu Jie and Tianren were fighting, Koum asked: "Do you need any help?" The origin of the yellow man in front of him.

It's really strange. But for the sake of knowing the earl, it would be better to be more polite.

"I'm starving to death." Upon hearing this, Xu Jie's first reaction was to solve his stomach problem first. But obviously, the problem of eating is not the most important. The most important thing is the problem of survival. How to stand firm in this era.

The most important thing. "Can you provide some paper and pen?" After suppressing the protest in his stomach, Xu Jie said while swallowing the saliva that was close to his mouth. "Here, would you like some paper and pen?" Koum was a little surprised.

"I want to communicate with the Earl," Xu Jie said with a smile. "However, I think what you need most is to rest. Paper and pen will be delivered to you shortly. Before that, it is better to eat something first.

"Kum smiled.

One part of tomato and oyster soup, one part of fresh tomato and seafood noodles, plus a small bowl of oatmeal. It became Xu Jie’s first dinner in this world. Although there were not many varieties, the quality was absolutely

Not bad. The first two dishes are even more Italian signature dishes. While finishing the first meal in this plane, I was thinking about how to gain a foothold in this world in the future. The more distant topic was how to solve the problem of the person who came from the east to set foot on the sea in 5 years.

of Japanese.

After drinking and eating, Xu Jie spread out the pen and paper on the table and started his first "plagiarism" plan in the world. The object of plagiarism was the owner of this villa, and he commissioned Leo Library

Niberti said that this boss was quite famous among later generations of ship designers. He was known as a genius and commissioned Leo to design the Garibaldi class, the best armored cruiser at the time. Because there was only one central mast and two

The chimney is shaped like a Chinese character for a mountain, so it is also called a mountain-shaped ship by military fans. Its balanced attack and defense and fast enough speed made this battleship, which started construction in 1894, stand at the pinnacle of cruiser design at that time.

A total of 10 6-inch guns and 6 4.7-inch guns are arranged on the double deck. The bow and stern are equipped with a 10-inch naval gun. Such powerful firepower is not to mention that of Yoshino Takachie and others. Even the British

Compared with France's 10,000-ton-class armored patrols of the same era, it will not fall behind. The full-length armor belt and the 5-inch Krupp carburized armor belt extending to the entire side string are enough to compete with the firepower of the same-level armored patrol. In that

In the era when armor-piercing bullets were not capped, facing the rain-like high-explosive picric acid bombs, the largest protection area meant that the battleship had the greatest protection for the hull. At the same time, the layout of the armor belts at the front and rear was enough to ensure that the battleship would not be damaged due to minor parts.

The secondary guns penetrated and water entered. Especially the establishment of the waterline armor belt, coal bunker, and dome armor defense system made it possible for the battleship to have enough protection from the dome armor to limit water intrusion even when the main armor was penetrated.

The establishment of this protection system continued to the design of the battleships of World War II. (Of course, the coal bunker was gone.) Compared with other European cruise ships at the time, in long-term battles, in addition to the narrow main ship,

The latter will inevitably be sieved by flying high-explosive bombs and then flooded. Of course, it may also be burned by picric acid bombs. In the Russo-Japanese naval battle, Maozi's three 10,000-ton old-style armored patrols were destroyed by four new Japanese ones.

Defeated by armored patrols. In the era of completely relying on high-explosive bombs to suffocate opponents, appropriate armor thickness and a large enough protection area are undoubtedly the best designs. At the same time, due to strict weight restrictions and appropriate design. Equipped with a vertical three-expansion steam engine

The cruiser can actually reach 20 knots. Of course, although Garibaldi's design is very good, it still has some flaws. As a time traveler, Xu Jie's best way to become famous is to have this cruiser born as early as possible.

"What design should I design?" Facing a stack of white paper on the oak table, Xu Jie thought for a long time but could not make up his mind. After all, the equipment that was only built in 1894 could not be produced now. Let's not start now.

It is said that the British Empire's new 10-inch cannon has not come out, nor has Krupp carburized steel armor. Ordinary 6-inch steel-faced armor is obviously inadequate in the face of the new 6-inch rapid-fire cannon. It can be said that in the 1890s,

, there is not much difference between an armored cruiser and a dome-armored cruiser. Faced with a 6-inch rapid-fire gun, both an armored cruiser and a dome-armored cruiser will be penetrated. This is why dome-armored cruisers were popular in various countries around the world before the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891, rather than armored cruisers.

.Unless some battleships and ironclads are built with an armor thickness of 350 to 400, otherwise at the 4,000-ton level, there is no essential difference between the protective performance of the dome-armored cruiser and the armored cruiser. When it comes to dome-armored cruisers, we have to talk about the one that makes the Chinese

I hate the Yoshino to the core. Fast guns, high speed, and proper protection make this ship a nightmare for China in the great battle of the Yellow Sea. As a navy and ship enthusiast, Xu Jie has already regarded this ship as

The line drawing of the boat is deeply engraved in my mind. Of course, as a time traveler, it is very shameless to copy the designs of our ancestors. The only way is to eliminate the rough and save the essence. Just do it, Xu Jie took up the

Sleeve started his first "design" in this plane. "What is that oriental man doing now?" He asked Leo Cuniberti to taste the Bordeaux wine in front of him casually. "He seems to be designing a boat now."

"The old butler Koumu replied. "Those yellow people with braids like dog tails can actually design ships?! It's really ridiculous." Commissioned Leo smiled slightly. "That's it, and the design seems to be a ship.

This is a cruiser. Judging from the dimensions he marked on the side, it seems to be a protected cruiser similar to the Chilean Esmeralda class? "Puff." Entrusted Leo spit out half a glass of wine. "Oh my God, are you?

Do you want to play such a big joke on me on Christmas Eve? "A yellow man who was picked up by him actually designed a warship in his private house?! Looking at the embarrassed owner, Koum came up to clean up the mess very dedicatedly." You.

Don't worry about these chores. You can go and have a look. It's best to write down his design. I'm suddenly interested in this yellow man without braids. "Leo Leo ordered." Sir, your coffee and tea.

"Kumu said softly outside Xu Jie's house. "Well, please come in. Thank you for your host's hospitality. If I remember correctly, this is the fourth time that tea has been served in the morning." Xu Jie looked at the people who had just put down the food.

The tray was turned towards Koum who was lying on the table. "Sir, I'm just curious about your design. If I guess correctly, this looks like a warship." Koum said with some embarrassment. "Yes, an emphasis."

Dome-armored cruiser approaching the enemy on the side. Your vision is very accurate." Xu Jie said with a smile. "Who are you?!" Koum said with some surprise. "I? A Chinese-American, I have some experience in shipbuilding.

I just have nothing to do to draw." After saying this, Xu Jie almost slapped himself in the mouth. He couldn't even make up lies, so he jumped off the building. Fortunately, Koumu was not interested in Xu Jie's words. He kept staring.

Looking at the line drawings on the table. "Mr. Coomb, if you or your master are interested in this, you can wait a moment and pick up the full set of line drawings before dinner today. Is that okay?" Xu Jie said with some pride.

"Okay, God bless you, distinguished sir." Unexpectedly, this matter could be settled so easily, Koum said somewhat flattered.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, while Xu Jie was enjoying an Italian meal, in another large room of the villa, Leo was carefully looking at the rough drawings sent by Koum. The entire protected cruiser has a slender hull, with a total length of 112 meters and a width of 112 meters.

15 meters. Draft 5.2 meters. Dry string 5.2 meters. Displacement 4,300 tons. Power 11,000 horsepower. Maximum speed 20 knots (non-pressurized ventilation). Equipped with 10 6-inch main guns, (one single at each end and one at the end. The other 8 are distributed in

In the gun gallery on the left and right sides) 12 Hotchkiss 47mm guns. The horizontal part of the dome is 50mm. The slope is 120mm. The gun gallery protection is 120mm. "Very good design, 20 knots high speed, up to 6 6-inch rapid-fire guns on the side chord."

It has powerful firepower and good protection. If the feasibility of the design can be proven after calculations, it will be an epoch-making warship." Commissioned Leo said to himself. "But, why does this ship have no torpedoes and

What about the angle of attack? As a well-armed dome-armored cruiser, the angle of attack and torpedoes on the bow are indispensable." After being amazed, he entrusted Leo to look at the drawing carefully again and said with some confusion. From this picture

Judging from the skills shown on the drawing, this person is not a rookie who has even forgotten torpedoes and angle of attack. Then there is only one possibility, and that is to omit it. And the speed has just reached 20 knots, so it is a bit slow.
