Chapter 760: One Riding as a Thousand Battleship Edition (4)
Natsuki Nagato felt very scary again and again!
This situation is too dangerous! If the opponent's battleship really sneaks in and even reaches a superior strike range of more than ten kilometers, he has fired at himself, but he has not noticed at all. He is just passively beaten, how bad the outcome will be? He has experienced it personally, twice!
He was very clear about how thick the armor of the "Yamato" was. In order to ensure that the armor was strong enough to block the Chinese main gun, at the beginning of the successful research and manufacturing of the new steel plate, he took out hundreds of tons to conduct a close-range piercing experiment, using his own "Nagon-level" main gun. The power and penetration ability should be said to be very small. The experimental results show that at a distance of about 20 kilometers, the thick armor of 410mm on the side is enough to withstand the opponent's attack!
Because of the various technological updates brought by Zhu Bin, not only did they cause the flood of advanced metallurgical technologies and products in Germany, but also titanium alloys and Kevlar materials sold sporadically have a huge impact on various equipment!
In order to pull the Japanese as an accomplice, Hitler did not hesitate to export some sensitive products. Some of the Kevlar fiber plates and titanium alloy plates were brought by the Japanese and piled them on the Yamato battleship. Because of the limited number, these materials could not cover the entire battleship, so linings were added to sensitive parts such as the most important bridge, main turret, and the second layer of the side armor box to enhance the resistance to strike.
Theoretically, if the current Yamato and even the battleships of the same level were not very unlucky to be bombarded by a capped armor-piercing bomb at a high angle at the end of the short-range supersonic speed, it would be difficult to penetrate. Even if it was a torpedo filled with 320 kilograms of medicine and exploded, there would be no problem if one or two were left.
But now, the thickest side armor was shot by the opponent. The noise and power of the explosion sounded similar to the high-explosive grenade, what kind of shell can be used to produce the effect!
In front of Nagashima, it seemed that there was a scene in which the "Kiyi-class" battleship was tortured to death a few months ago. The countless 406mm shells penetrated from all angles so unforgettable, and it also made him frightened. If such a tragedy happens again today, then there will be no hope for the future of the entire Imperial Navy!
"No! You must not give up!"
Nagashikazuo clenched his fist suddenly, gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "Aim at the suspicious position of the enemy ship and fire with all your might! Be sure to find him in the shortest time. Kill it!"
"Hi!" The officers under his command were busy.
The "Yamato" is called the "Yamato Hotel". The interior decoration and facilities are extremely luxurious and advanced. It even has fluorescent tubes imported from China, which not only saves electricity, but also has a long life span! Of course, the price is also one that is more expensive than ten. It would never be possible to use these two unprecedented super warships built by the whole country.
The commander was fierce, and of course the people below would not endure humiliation. Five turrets of all sizes pointed to the predetermined area, and "boom boom boom" fired a volley. The fifteen large and small cannons were of varying speed and speed, and suddenly exploded a wide explosion area with a radius of five kilometers on the sea surface fifteen kilometers away!
During the break of the firing, two night reconnaissance planes were bounced out. With the determination to die, the pilots were wrapped in menstruation belts on their heads, and their eyes widened and covered with their sea surface. Their goal was to find the traces of the enemy ships in the shortest time. As long as the target was found, they would eventually hit and die. The Empire would never treat them unfairly!
The entire Japanese ship formation entered an unprecedented state of tension!
As the perpetrator, Zhu Bin shot through the side armor of "Yamato" in one shot, but he didn't look very happy. He smacked his lips at the clear damage screen on the screen and sighed with dissatisfaction: "The power of the naval gun is still a little less! It seems that the damage caused is not too great. If you do this, at least one hundred and eighty cannons will be effective! It's not cost-effective!"
Although the power of metal hydrogen ammunition is huge, it is also extremely expensive! In addition to the strategic missiles with clear functions and his "Big-mouthed Parrot" that can be used in a wide range, as a large number of warships, at least ten "Yingzhou-class" missile cruisers must be built. It is impossible to replace them with such precious things. It is because the production of metal hydrogen requires a unique fusion reactor of the spacecraft to achieve it, and the output is too low!
Among the 127mm main gun of the naval gun, the tungsten carbide metal wire tow used for shell-piercing shells is already very expensive. The explosion warhead inside is a tiny bit of metal hydrogen mixed crystal ** a total amount of one kilogram. The cost of such a round can catch up with one hundred ordinary capped armor-piercing shells, all equipped, which is too wasteful and too expensive!
Tesla was lying on the screen with excitement, seriously damaging the results of the small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft scanning, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that Japan's backward industrial capabilities could actually make such powerful armor! It seems that their ability to absorb armored steel technology in the United Kingdom and Germany is quite good. I have to say that people in this country have certain qualities in learning. Unfortunately, they don't do good things!"
Tesla's great master has always supported and appreciated the smart and studious nation, but it is not what he likes to use his intelligence to destroy the world, create killing, and destroy human nature. However, it is really regrettable that the two most advanced places in the world, Germany and Japan, are all such bastards!
Straighten his waist, he said with a smile: "Originally, the target of our electromagnetic reconnection accelerator gun is below heavy cruisers. Expensive heavy armored targets such as battleships still require larger caliber main guns and stronger shells to solve them! That will only be achieved after the "Kunlun class" is put into service. I believe that by then, the new 420mm main gun will definitely show satisfactory performance!"
Zhu Bin nodded and gave up his entanglement.
Yes, the main attack method of the "Yingzhou-class" was originally various missiles, not small-caliber naval guns. However, in this era, the various materials and electronic components used in missiles, rocket engines, turbine engines, even propellants, warheads, etc., each piece is an expensive product. In addition to its fully automatic production line, it can be manufactured at an efficiency of dozens of times more than reality, even manual production is unaffordable.
Therefore, unless he deals with a truly valuable goal, he really doesn't intend to use it. In addition, if this thing is used too much, it will inevitably lead to the attention of the whole world. If the seduced powers join forces to start a war, it will be really difficult!
In contrast, the "Kunlun class" is not so conspicuous. It has a conventional battleship structure and a turret, but it has an extra missile hanging device than others. The main weapon is still a large-caliber heavy artillery.
The difference is that the "Kunlun-class" 420mm main gun uses too much technology beyond the contemporary times. The substrates made of electroslag remelting and plasma high-purity metallurgy have more than two or three times the strength and mechanical properties of conventional metallurgy. The double-layer gun barrel has undergone internal chrome plating, laser reinforcement and super-large heavy magnetic treatment, which can increase the impact of instantaneous high temperature and high pressure, corrosion resistance of the launching agent, friction loss of the shell, etc. too much.
According to the final successful calculation, the weight of the triple-mounted turret and the 406mm "Tarzan-class" turret are slightly lighter, and the lifespan of the barrel and medicine room is at least 1,500 rounds. It can almost be said that you will never have to change it in this life.
In terms of power, the range of long tubes that are longer than 50 diameters can reach 48 kilometers. If you use the bottom-row extended range bullet, you can hit a terrible range of 63 kilometers! Of course, the distance and accuracy are not easy to say.
Even at the conventional best strike range of 1528 kilometers, the accuracy of the end spreading of no more than 100 meters is terrifying enough, and the high penetration brought by the speed at the end is that if the capped armor-piercing projectile is used, the "Yamato-class" 410mm side armor belt can be easily killed.
At that time, that guy will be the main weapon to deal with such super battleships!
Now, two seriously aberrant warships encountered unexpectedly. Zhu Bin used the other party as a target to test weapons, and it would take time to sink or something. Could it be that he would kill him directly with a missile?
It seems to be a very attractive target!
When Zhu Bin thought of this, his eyes lit up and hesitated and made a decision.
No. After thinking about it, he gave up this tempting idea temporarily. He could take action against the Japanese at any time, but his long-term goal was to use the Japanese as bait and drag the entire Western powers into the water. If he easily helped this rare bitch, it would not only lead to other measures to deal with the great powers, but the Japanese would also surrender very barely. Before they committed the bad crime of the whole nation, they would try to kill a world-recognized civilized country. This resistance is too great!
Let them be the target of this experiment first!
In front, the volley of the Yamato main gun and secondary guns exploded with spectacular water columns and flashes, almost exposing the target of the Yingzhou, which also scared the officers and soldiers on the ship. The Suruga battleship, which was left behind by them, was also ordered to turn quickly. At the same time, it began to use the stern triple 410mm main gun to fire and join the bombardment team. The injured heavy cruiser on the right wing also assisted in reinforcements. For a moment, the artillery fire of the three main battleships exploded and roared and shook the sky!
"Yeah! The Japanese are smart enough! It's not easy to judge where we are right!"
Zhu Bin joked calmly. He also admired the quality of the Japanese navy. If it were ordinary people, they were bombarded in a dark and futile way and could not see the other party and resisted or fled in vain. Chaos was the most likely. Not only did they not escape, they also quickly fired fire in suspicious areas and directly investigated. Such methods were not just bravery, but their overall quality was amazing!
This is the disadvantage of single-ship confrontation. No matter how good the equipment is, as long as you enter the area where the opponent's main gun can see, it is too difficult to hide. Of course, there are also Zhu Bin's incorrect tactics that do not play according to the routine and take risks to the person.
The Yingzhou was unmoved and rushed towards the explosion area with increasing intensive artillery fire. The main gun was stuffed into the shell-out armor-piercing bomb, aiming at the Yamato and shooting out with a "boom"!
Within a dozen kilometers, almost every shot was shot! The diameter of the warhead fired at 6 times the speed of sound was less than 76mm after being unsheathed, but the kinetic energy was extremely terrifying. After a flash, it accurately penetrated the towering bridge of the Yamato. The sharp warheads penetrated the thick sandbags piled on the surface with an unstoppable blast. The detonation effect brought by the sharp shock wave even shattered the sandbags. A nearby triple anti-aircraft gun was blown up, and three Japanese soldiers flew up and fell down on the spot!
There is also a layer of external armor close to the main body of the bridge, which was learned from the Chinese. It is made up of purchased fiberglass plus some ceramics, thin titanium alloy and Kevlar. As well as thick nylon, it is said that the experimental results prove that the 410mm armor-piercing bullet hood can be deviated and lead to insufficient penetration performance.
But in front of the tungsten carbide bullet with several times the speed of sound, it is no different from straw paper, and it almost does not bring about 10% of the resistance, and it still breaks!
Behind is the real bridge main body! The improved version of the Wicks armor structure. There is a layer of Kevlar and a layer of fiberglass fiberglass in the middle, and an armored steel layer imported from Germany is embedded in it. The overall bridge is built, with the main armor, middle lining, and rear armor, which adds up to 500mm! And the command room has a thickness of 650mm!
Such a complex structure, although it has brought an excess of the total amount of armor, but the reduction and thickening of the material greatly enhances the defense ability!
The shell-unshed armor-piercing projectile was removed from most of the kinetic energy and penetration speed by the large-thick Wicks armor in front, causing the bullet body to be deformed and broken, and was severely dispersed by various resistances of the composite armor in the middle. The broken tow fan sweep encountered the third layer of armor blocking, and finally did not penetrate completely. In theory, the penetration ability of the 1500mm uniform steel plate can be removed was greatly weakened!
The five-layer defensive armor belts were counted in front and back. The Japanese aimed to withstand the piercing of the 460mm main gun. And they have not seen the attack of the actual super-kill weapon, so that is definitely not a joke!
The final explosion finally erupted after a millisecond pause! The warhead exposed after the bullet body was completely broken still did not have much deformation. The original structural forward explosive force was twisted by multiple layers and reflected back, like a volcano erupting from the inside out. It "rumbled" tore open a three-meter-wide hole in the majestic bridge, almost sweeping the side building structure!
On the huge bridge, the flames with a diameter of dozens of meters suddenly rose into the air. The shock caused by the explosion made the entire warship tremble. The people in the bridge were shocked to make hundreds of people deaf and fall to the ground. In the battle room and the Luojing Bridge, officers below Nagamo Tadonico all fell and were dizzy!
However, this time, Nagashikazui was surprised and happy, and pushed the officer who was supporting him away and shouted loudly: "Yehe! The Chinese warship we faced was not firing giant cannon shells, but a guy with a small caliber! You guys, once you find them, with our main gun, you can easily kill him!"
When a group of legions heard this, they were all shocked and surprised! If this were the case, how great would the morale increase be!
In just a few hours of confrontation, they were passively beaten, but they couldn't even find their opponents, which made the entire fleet nervous. If it lasted until dawn, most of their morale would be weakened! Especially, if it was speculated that they might be beaten up at close range by a battleship that could "invisible", the tragic result that would never be spared is too helpless!
It's different now. Although the impact is amazing, since the commander said so, there must be a basis for it. If it is true, the other party is not a battleship, then if you find it, even if you don't use Yamato's 460mm main gun or "Suruga" 410mm cannon, even the 203mm or 155mm secondary gun of the heavy cruiser, you will probably be able to beat him to death!
Nagashiyama immediately expressed the basis for his judgment: "Don't look at the amazing power of the explosion, have you not noticed it? The reaction of the warship when it was hit is not strong! It means that the caliber of the shell is not large, and the damage caused by the explosion is also extraordinary. It is very likely that it was caused by the special weapons of the Chinese cruiser!"
It may not be visible to the naked eye, but Tadaichi Nagamo has a rich personal experience. Generally speaking, the heavy artillery shells of the battleship came through the air, and the rumbling roar was inevitable, and the end speed was not that fast. Now, it was a long time after the explosion that the sound of flying came, and it sounded completely different, so there was a problem.
The second is the feeling of kinetic energy impact. He has personally experienced the instant vibration of the 406mm caliber main gun hitting the warship many times. It is unforgettable to be deeply impressed in the bone marrow. It is definitely not like this now. It feels like it explodes after the bayonet with an explosive warhead penetrates the human body at a high speed. It is completely different!
Whether it was true or not, no one expressed doubts about this. The commander's judgment result was released to all ships as quickly as possible. Another round of shelling searches was also bombarded. This time, the "Suruga" also basically turned around. With the main and secondary guns of another heavy cruiser, the total number of cannons was scattered, and a large number of water columns suddenly burst out from the area of ten kilometers in diameter in the center. One of the air-exploding grenades unexpectedly illuminated a slender blurred figure!
"Chinese warships! We discovered it!"
The strange shape, the extremely simple upper deck structure, the round top radar bridge, the extremely simple mainmast, and the location, everything shows that the guy is not his own!
Nagashikazu Nagashi was shocked and shouted: "Get fire with all your might! Kill him!"
"Let's fire! Open fire!"
The main and secondary artillery of the three ships of various calibers were roaring together, and dense shells rushed towards the "Yingzhou" in a wave!
Chapter completed!
