Since arriving at the Yinshan Base, Yang Yuanzhao has not left except for sending Tras and others. As the leader of the Northwest scientific community, to a certain extent, he needs to provide guidance to the Yinshan Base. Although he issued some things when he was in Baotou, those things were relatively vague and he must understand the current progress of science and technology and provide guidance. ◎,

The progress of science and technology cannot be false at all. Yang Yuanzhao's previous guidance was still wrong. After he discovered some misunderstandings in research projects, he gave them timely guidance to them so that they could turn to a more suitable direction.

Tras also knew that although the two projects he was responsible for were steam turbines, one was obviously military and the other was civilian. In terms of height, the critical generator set project was obviously higher in terms of technological content, but what was more important to the northwest was another project, the marine steam turbine project. This was obviously a unit on a large ship, which could be used on merchant ships or other ship projects.

After gaining some gains and experiences in the critical project, Trass came to the marine steam turbine again. He thought it might be two projects in the same system. When he really saw the marine steam turbine, he realized that there were the same places and different places inside.

The biggest change is that a turbofan that absorbs heat energy was added to the steam turbine. The theory of turbofan, which has never appeared, is listed there in a grand manner. Although it is just a simple theory, with the strength of Trass, it is easy to understand the correctness of this theory. For steam turbines, part of the power is wasted, and the heat generated by the turbine can only be used in physical recycling, and the effect is not good.

However, the turbofan theory takes a different approach, reducing the consumption of hot air and increasing the overall power. Although it is not as critical as the state, marine steam turbines, unlike steam turbines used in large factories or power plants, are limited in size and cannot be equipped with huge recycling and critical equipment. On the contrary, small turbofans are more suitable. Using turbofans can further improve the energy efficiency ratio of the turbine.

However, the keen Trass still found that if you want to use a turbofan, there are several problems that must be solved. Compared with the criticality, some non-metallic or thermal insulation materials can be used for construction. The volume on the ship is relatively small. The place where the power units are placed is relatively limited, so most of them are metal, high-temperature and high-pressure steam, which requires a huge strength of metal materials. It is not easy to solve the material.

In Trass's view, solving this problem may be more difficult than that of critical generator sets. Materials science, especially high temperature and high pressure materials. The difficulty itself is a global problem. Many theories about power and material utilization are ahead of the times. Just what Trass knows, there are many.

But after reading the laboratory records, Telas realized that he was wrong. He didn't know what was going on in the Northwest. There were at least 10 alternative materials he took out, and the processing ability and integration ability were far beyond Telas' imagination. In other words, the biggest problem of this power unit has actually been solved. The rest is how to use genius creativity to use this material.

Seeing this, Tras even felt that in the short term, he could break through this project. He even burst out with more energy than the previous critical engine project. In just three days, he designed several plans.

After handing over the follow-up work to the assistant, he returned to the critical laboratory and continued the research of critical experiments. He thought these things would be enough to keep the laboratory busy for several months, because he knew that even if there were materials, processing technology, production methods, and even if it was the production of the laboratory, there was a long way to go, and it could not be completed simply.

The development of the matter once again shocked Trass. In less than a week, in the laboratory, he took out three different physical objects according to the plan he designed. Compared with the five plans he designed, it was not particularly perfect, but this speed shocked him extremely.

Tras is a theoretical researcher and is also involved in practicality, but he doesn't know much about processing. The Northwest processing capability he had been exposed to in the lab outside was just the tip of the iceberg. In the Yinshan base, there were 300 top workers, just level 8 workers at the national treasure level, and it took five or six years to cultivate the world's largest group of industrial workers. The intelligence of the Chinese, the Westernization Movement and the opening-eye world heritage, with the support of the huge financial funds in the northwest, different sparks burst out.

The Northwest's extremely powerful processing ability solved the biggest shortcomings of Trass and introduced him into the research of large-scale steam turbines. His genius creativity suddenly emerged like a spring. Some mistakes, which may seem beautiful, can be quickly made, and then tested according to the inherent model. Some simulation experiments are even more suitable than the practicality on the ship. The miniaturization and improvement of large marine steam turbines are gradually being carried out, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

In just two months, theoretically, at least 6 large steam turbines were completed. The entire horsepower was increased by 80% compared to the previous one, and the volume and weight were reduced to varying degrees. This means that if a new steam turbine system is used, the entire power system will increase by 80%, which can drive more tonnage warships and obtain greater speed.

Conservatively estimated that the tonnage of warships in the future can be expanded to more than 70,000 tons, and the speed will still be maintained at the fantasy level, and it will even increase. After obtaining this design indicator, the Naval Design Institute was very surprised. What does this represent? It represents thicker armor and more intense firepower. In the artillery laboratory, the research on artillery 405 mm, even 461 mm, that is, 16 inches and 18 inches have gradually entered the formality. According to the timetable, 16 inches can see physical objects this year, 18 inches for up to 3 years. It can also be successfully studied and researched on the new generation of battleships. It has begun to be mentioned on the agenda.

The Navy was very excited and always had. Even the Fantasy Class, in their opinion, was just a warship catching up with the world's advanced ones. Because the British new generation of warships, the specific data of the specific data has not been known by German reconnaissance, so in the navy, the fantasy Class has become the most powerful warship in the world. However, if a super warship is developed based on a 16-inch or even 18-inch gun, and the tonnage is more than 70,000 tons, it will definitely be the world's first, without exception. The improvement in power has given them great support. The previous design of Jinghua Shuiyue has become a reality.

The Navy Laboratory was excited. It proposed a shipbuilding plan for the next five years and sought support from the Yinshan base. This plan embodies the efforts of the navy and took the fastest time to deliver it to Yang Yuanzhao. I think it was not difficult to implement this plan with Yang Yuanzhao's support for the navy, but unexpectedly, it was rejected by Yang Yuanzhao. Yang Yuanzhao directly rejected the plan.

The reason for the veto is very simple, not practical. In Yang Yuanzhao's perception, the 15-inch fantasy level is enough for the present and even in the future, to provide firepower support and air protection for the special mixed fleet and artillery support for landing operations. This is enough. The reason why he really studied this large steam turbine unit was not for battleships, but for aircraft carriers.

Yang Yuanzhao, who came from later generations, knew very well the inevitability of aircraft carriers to replace battleships. Due to their tonnage and even technological reasons, it is impossible to amplify the battleship to 100,000 tons or even more than 200,000 tons. The increase in attack power will form a curve. When it reaches the 50,000 tons, the combat power curve of the battleship has actually increased to the limit, from 50,000 tons to 70,000 tons. Although a 70,000 tons warship can easily defeat a 50,000 tons warship, the increased strength may not be compared with the tonnage, but it is only a little stronger.

In the battleship, a little improvement may bring revolutionary consequences. The emergence of the dreadnought has sent all the dreadnoughts into the garbage dump. It really means that the dreadnought is much stronger than the dreadnoughts? In fact, it has only improved a little bit in all aspects, but it is only in terms of firepower. However, this increase has a certain intensity. For example, if the current latest armor of the Northwest equipped by the dreadnoughts is now installed, when the guns of the dreadnoughts cannot pass through the main equipment of the dreadnoughts, the dreadnoughts will have the possibility of fighting against the dreadnoughts.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that the combat capability of an aircraft carrier is not in the aircraft carrier itself. The speed, protection, and even the capacity of the carrier-based aircraft are at a limit, but the strength of the carrier-based aircraft is not limit. He is very clear that the future carrier-based opportunities will be powerful, beyond visual range, precise strikes, and more powerful bombing capabilities, which will provide sufficient lethality for the aircraft carrier.

From the very beginning, the research on power units was not prepared for battleships, but for aircraft carriers. Speed, perhaps for battleships, is only one aspect and one of the three principles, but for aircraft carriers, it is extremely important. It is necessary to ensure that the aircraft carrier has sufficient speed, at least not worse than the battle patrol. An aircraft carrier that can accommodate 80-100 carrier-based aircraft and loads a large amount of materials and bombs is impossible to arrange other artillery fire except for air defense firepower, otherwise it would be a four-dimensional image.

If the speed cannot be increased, for example, a lower speed can only become an escort aircraft carrier at most to protect the merchant ship formation. The real main aircraft carrier must have sufficient speed and do not provide firepower. If you really need to protect firepower, just escort the battleship. The battleship will change from a main battleship to a frigate. In the future, with the deepening of aircraft carrier research, the battleship itself will be eliminated and replaced by large air defense frigates. The concentrated strike capabilities of the battleships are all on carrier-based aircraft.

The solution to the power system is equivalent to a package of projects, Fantasy-class improved models. Because Yang Yuanzhao's veto, he will only build 4 ships, which will be the flagship of the core warships, while the aircraft carrier can be nearly infinite, but it is planned to build at least 8 ships, which is equivalent to 2 ships in a fleet, which will be combined with Fantasy-class improved models to jointly build the main body of the four major special mixed fleets in the future.

The current northwest is different from before 1908 and a year or two ago. The powerful northwest is developing rapidly and rapidly almost every day. After absorbing the careful teaching of Germany, the designers have already had their own unique aspects in the design of warships.

Yang Yuanzhao has come from later generations, and computer-aided design in later generations has been very mature. In this era, it has not yet developed to this point. Models, simulated oceans, and simulated hydrological environments can promote the design of warships. There is no need to directly produce huge warships. It just starts with models with extremely high precision. Under specific calculations, the simulated pool can allow a certain proportion of warships to obtain sufficient data. These data, reversely promote the design of ships, some research on fluid mechanics, hydraulics, warship design, etc. can all be done through

The role of powerful battleships will become smaller and smaller in the future. Perhaps it will only play a role in this battle. Perhaps when the northwest shows the power of aircraft, the whole world will accelerate to enter the era of aircraft carriers. Even the lowest-level escort aircraft carriers will be terrible enough as long as the number reaches a certain level.

The Northwest Navy led by Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that escort aircraft carriers are really nothing. The reason why they are called escort is because they do not play much role in the main battle. During the main battle, only the main aircraft carriers are useful.

The reason is that the speed and aircraft carriers have faster speeds than battleships. The speed of the aircraft carriers during World War II were above 30 knots, and the multi-deck arrangement could allow more aircraft to be projected in a short period of time. Under the premise that the steam catapult could not be equipped, the northwest could only refer to the jump deck of the Soviet Union in later generations. The powerful power mechanism could not only push the speed of the aircraft carrier to a higher level, but also create a larger aircraft carrier.

In later generations, the displacement of aircraft carriers gradually increased, but carrier-based aircraft was less and less. This is because the performance of fighter jets is constantly improving. The difference in carrier-based aircraft makes the number of carrier-based aircraft not necessarily the basis for measuring the strength of aircraft carriers. The huge body of aircraft carriers will become the most important maritime combat platform. On the premise that joining World War I is a foregone conclusion, competing with the United States in the vast Pacific Ocean. Aircraft carriers have become the killer weapon to break through the number of battleships, and will also make it difficult for the United States and Britain to follow up. Aircraft carriers are not just ordinary modifications. The design concept has been 20 years in the future World War I and World War II. This requires them to suffer continuous losses before they can learn it. Time becomes the key. When a large number of battleships are sent to the bottom of the sea and the new warships have not yet been put into use, the war has actually ended. (To be continued.)
