My Italian

In the face of everyone's gaze, Cuniberti was not flustered. Although there were already two pearls ahead in the installation and patrol plan, Cuniberti still had confidence in himself, and the source of his confidence was the drawings in his hands.

I saw him slowly opening his blueprint. "Everyone, let me tell you about my plan. The ship is 153 meters long and 22.7 meters wide. The ship adopts a long forecastle ship type, the rail rod and the conning tower are combined together. Although this will expand its area and increase some costs, it will not It can save Class A space.”

Cuniberti pointed to the rail rod combined with the conning tower on the drawing and explained his intention.

"In addition to the choice of flue, I chose to combine it into two wide and large flues, which are located behind the rail rod. Although this makes it more conspicuous, it is beneficial to save the space of Class A."

Cuniberti explained his intention of choosing two wide and large chimneys. Of course, if he did not do this, then four slender chimneys would be located amidships, which would take up a lot of space. Although this will increase the disadvantage of being hit, it is still worth it, after all, the benefits are greater.

"Besides, for the hull structure, I adopted the miniaturization of the cabin, and made it watertight as much as possible so that the watertight compartment could be temporarily added during the war. In addition, for the support wall between the compartments, I also adopted a reinforced steel structure to Improve the strength and toughness of the compartment. And after several naval engagements, I canceled the horizontal connection doors between the compartments below the waterline and at the waterline, and the number of watertight doors was reduced as much as possible. The entry and exit of the crew only The ability to pass through the longitudinal watertight doors increases the difficulty of personnel transfer, but it can improve the sinking resistance of the warship."

Cuniberti's explanation made many designers look suddenly enlightened, and they eagerly listened to the explanation of the talented designer.

"In addition to the core cabin, the coal-fired, water storage and other cabins are all located in the mezzanine, which can add extra defense and protect the safety of the core cabin."

"Since it's talking about the protection of the battleship, let me talk about the battleship armor I designed here. The main armor belt of the hull is 3.7 meters high, protecting the core hull from 0.4 meters below the waterline to 3.3 meters above the waterline. The thickest midship extends from 190mm to 110mm on the sides

The main deck adopts a dome type (egg shell principle), and the middle bulge is slightly lower on both sides to connect with the broadside armor, with a thickness of 60 mm. The turret armor is 160-200 mm, the conning tower armor is 200-60 mm, and the engine room and ammunition depot are also protected by armor. "

Cuniberti explained the armor protection of his plan, which others found to be the thickest of the three.

Of course, since the hull structure and armor are discussed, the firepower and power must not fall.

"In terms of firepower, I am going to install 8 254mm main guns, with the front two and the rear two arranged in the center axis. In addition, I am also equipped with 10 76mm single-barrel guns.

When Kunibatti said this, it immediately caused an uproar, because everyone was a designer and understood the design of warships. It is quite extreme to pursue an extreme number of main guns like Cuniberti and completely abandon the secondary main gun.

Yes, it is extreme.

At present, warships of various countries use two-level main guns, so they are afraid that the artillery will not be enough, and all kinds of artillery are desperately added. Often a warship of one or two thousand tons will go out with twenty or thirty artillery pieces.

"Is this kind of main gun with only one caliber really possible?"

Some people felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask. This aroused many people's curiosity, and even Admiral Yagier craned his neck and waited for Kunibatti's answer.

"There is absolutely no problem, I have also carefully calculated."

Facing the inquiring gazes of everyone present, Kunibatti continued. "I have also carefully watched the process of naval battles over the years, and the amount of firepower of warships has also been referenced. In general, for a warship, the hit damage of the first-level main gun is better than the second-level main gun. And the secondary gun. In addition, I found that the more uniform the artillery caliber multiple, the higher the hit rate of unified fire control shooting. In this case, why don't we unify the main gun caliber?"

When Kunibatti said this, the people at the scene fell into deep thought. Worthy of being a pioneer in the era of dreadnoughts, Cuniberti put the idea of ​​unifying the main guns into practice in advance.

Seeing the contemplative crowd, Kunibetti planned to stop for a while and continue speaking after the crowd recovered.

"The idea is very good. I am very optimistic about your idea. What do you think about the battleship next, let's continue."

At some point, Admiral Yagier was behind him, patting him on the shoulder to give him encouragement.

Now that he has the permission of Admiral Yagier, Cuniberti continued.

"In terms of power, I think 24 Belleville boilers and 2 vertical triple expansion engines can be used, with an estimated output of 24,000 horsepower, which can propel the warship to a maximum speed of 23 knots."

In terms of speed, Cuniberti is quite satisfactory, and there is no extraordinary performance. But after that, it was different.

"The ship is expected to have a standard displacement of 12,200 tons, a full-load displacement of 15,500 tons, and a draft of 7.8 meters."

Excuse, the displacement is so much higher than the standard, which attracts everyone's attention. Of course, they pay more attention to Admiral Yagier's performance. After all, the naval requirements limit the standard displacement of 11,000 tons, and the full load is more than this.

But they think too much about who Admiral Yagier is. For him, a designer who can design a warship that satisfies the Navy is a good designer. For such a good designer, the Admiralty looks at it differently. As for designers who can surprise the Navy, they must be taken care of~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is a treasure.

So those who want to watch the play will be disappointed, only to see Admiral Yagier smiling. "This plan is very good. I wonder if you have calculated the cost?"

Heh, look, what Admiral Yagier likes doesn't even go with the program, it's going to be decided directly.

And Admiral Yagier's words made Horne, the head of the Venice Shipyard, smile.

"It is estimated that the total cost of the three cruise ships is 103 million lire."

Kunibati's words directly made His Excellency Admiral smile unable to hang on.

"It's so expensive, isn't it a mistake?"

"There is no mistake, Your Excellency. We carefully calculated each item, and this 103 million lire is the lowest cost."

Admiral Yagier, who was taken aback by Kunibatti's offer, looked at the battleship on the blueprint carefully and reluctantly, thinking silently in his heart.

"Perhaps you can let your Majesty take a look."

The reluctant Admiral Yagier planned to save the ship in a curve.

So that evening, Carlo saw Kunibetti's design drawings, and Admiral Yagier who was very excited to explain to him.

Carlo was also surprised by the warship on the blueprint. Isn't this the invincible level of the trumpet shrunk version?

However, since under the influence of an unknown butterfly, Italy has such an excellent warship, there is no reason not to build it.

After obtaining the consent of Carlo, the new installation plan was also determined.

However, before Admiral Yagier left happily, Carlo asked him about the research and development of steam turbines, but Carlo didn't understand this.

Italy lacks steam turbines, and if it is wrong, it also lacks large-caliber rapid-fire naval guns, new artillery shells and propellants.
