Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

Chapter 207: Smaller Changes

Everyone held a magnifying glass and looked at the drawings for a long time. They were unwilling to miss any details.

It takes a long time to look at these two truckloads of drawings.

"Commander Wang, I think since we want to improve the Kirov cruiser, there is no need for us to look at every drawing." Xu Guofu stood up and patted his waist, which was already a little sore.

"What determines the capability of a warship are nothing more than these: the artillery system, the power system, and the protection system."

"The protection system is easy. We just need to make the steel plates of the warship thicker."

"The most critical thing is to look at its artillery system and power system."

After hearing this, Wang Tianyou nodded repeatedly.

As a person who traveled through time from the 21st century, Wang Tianyou knows how big a role aircraft carriers will play in future naval battles?

The reason why Wang Tianyou did not build battleships was not for any other reason, but because he knew that battleships would soon be obsolete.

The displacement of a battleship is often 20,000 to 30,000 tons, and it requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build.

The Japanese battleships Yamato and Musashi were fully loaded with tons of seawater.

Although this battleship looks mighty and powerful, the maximum range of its guns is only 40 nautical miles.

When the naval gun reaches 40 nautical miles away, the accuracy has already dropped to an unexpected level.

Trying to hit an enemy ship with a battleship's guns from 40 nautical miles away is even harder than winning a 500 million lottery.

Aircraft carriers can carry torpedoes and aerial bombs to attack targets hundreds of nautical miles away.

"Everyone, let's not be superstitious about big cannons and big ships." Wang Tianyou shared his thoughts with everyone.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

"Captain Wang, if that's what you said, we don't need to build battleships or cruisers. We only need to build destroyers with a displacement of about four to five thousand tons."

The same amount of steel can be used to build three to four cruisers with a full load displacement of more than 3 tons, and destroyers with a full load displacement of 4 to tons.

"Then let's build a destroyer. Let's not build a big one, let's build a small one."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. It might be difficult for them to quickly produce cruisers, but it would be no problem for them to produce destroyers.

"The sonar system, communication equipment and radar on the destroyer are also indispensable." Wang Tianyou knew that once his destroyers and aircraft carriers were built, they would mainly target the Japanese navy.

The Japanese navy is now focusing its development on battleships and cruisers.

Little Japanese, although the navy has heavy aircraft carriers, there are only four of them.

Later during World War II, the Japanese built two medium-sized aircraft carriers, but in the Battle of Midway, they lost more than half of their heavy aircraft carriers.

Wang Tianyou actually hoped that the Japanese would go further and further down the wrong path of building battleships and cruisers.

After all, the Japanese battleships Yamato and Musashi consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and took 12 years to build.

One of the two battleships was bombed by Allied planes before it was completed.

While their Yamato battleship was heading towards Okinawa, it was directly targeted by more than 300 US aircraft.

More than 300 American planes rushed forward and carried out a bombing campaign for half an hour, directly sinking this super battleship with a full load displacement of more than tons.

As the Yamato battleship sank to the bottom of the sea, nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers on the battleship were also killed.

How many years should it take for a decisive battle with the US military? With this certain foundation, the construction of large warships and aircraft carriers will become faster and faster in the future.

China is a country that believes in Taoism.

Taoism emphasizes that one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

From 0 to 1, this step will be difficult to take.

But once the step from 0 to 1 is completed, the step from 1 to 100 will be very smooth.

"What do you need? I will do my best to cooperate with you now. The first batch of 1000 million yuan in shipbuilding funds will soon arrive in the account of Jiangnan Shipyard."

Wang Tianyou hoped that Jiangnan Shipyard and Hudong Shipyard would be built at the same time.

Both shipyards have experience in building commercial vessels of 2 to 3 tonnes.

Once the two shipyards are built at the same time, Wang Tianyou is confident that he can build two aircraft carriers and more than four destroyers within a year.

"Commander Wang, we promise you that we will complete the review of the drawings within a week. We will make some changes to the drawings based on this."

"The keel will be laid in a week and construction of the warship will begin."

After hearing this, Wang Tianyou was extremely excited. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and asked, "How many warships can your Jiangnan Shipyard build at the same time?"

Xu Guoyou frowned: "It is possible to build two destroyers and one aircraft carrier at the same time.

If we use all the dry docks used to build merchant ships, we can build an aircraft carrier and six destroyers in sequence."

Wang Tianyou was extremely excited when he heard this. This meant that an aircraft carrier battle group could be built at once.

"Move out all the merchant ships in the dry boats. Building warships is the top priority now."

"The construction of any ship must serve the construction of warships."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. However, Xu Guofu said, "The ships in the dry dock were built by people who paid us a lot of money. If we can't deliver them on time, we will have to pay a lot of money."

"Just do as I say. No matter how much compensation you need to pay, I will pay it."

"Yes..." Everyone was extremely excited. Being able to build a powerful navy for China was the biggest wish of these returning overseas students.

These returning international students can enjoy better living conditions in the United States.

They live in luxury houses there, drive luxury cars, have no worries about food and clothing, and live a much better life than in China.

A big part of the reason why these people were willing to return to China to serve was because Wang Tianyou led the Eighth Route Army to defeat the Japanese so badly.

Let these patriotic students see hope.

These talented people traveled thousands of miles back to their motherland. They gave up their lives of luxury and were willing to start all over again.

"Students, our country's first batch of warships will be built by you. I believe that more warships will be built by your hands in the future."

Huang Jinrong greeted Wang Tianyou with a smile: "Brother Tianyou, please take a seat."
