C2746 Hundred Ghosts Night Walk (2/2)

Without even seeing Napoleon III, they had made a mistake. He had used all the technology that they had available from Prussia to install steel gun s, while France had spent all their time researching that strange heavy machine gun.

What was the final result? It was the steel gun that completely crushed the heavy machine gun, it was a wild victory for Prussia!

This was the result of clicking on the wrong technology tree!

The Navy was also betting on the design!

In this age, the cruisers were a little better. In order to meet the needs of ocean-going battles, these ships all chose streamlined battleships with roughly the same style of design.

However, the main force of the battlefield, the armoured battleship, had produced the strange Hundred Wraith Night Walk!

All the countries were very confused about the development of battleships, and in the end, all kinds of strange designs appeared. Some were like big slippers, some were like a big bathtub, and some were even round!

There was no mistake, the Russian Federation had once built a circular battleship! The name is Popovka!

Of course, this ridiculous design would not succeed, because he was circular. Once you fired the gun, he would uncontrollably spin, spinning whenever he encountered a small wave during the voyage.

For such a bizarre design to appear, one could see how chaotic the thoughts of the world's mainstream warship design were!

Of course, in the midst of this chaos, the British design community had the greatest say, because at that time, the United Kingdom was the world's most powerful navy, and the entire world recognized that its warships were the best and most experienced!

In that era, countless of spies from different countries were staring at the blueprints of the British Navy's design department. Almost every time there was a meeting regarding design, there would be a spy buying the records for a high price.

People are eager to know about the British judgment on the future development of warships, so that their navy can be used for reference!

But no one had ever thought that the British would make mistakes, that the British would be confused, that they would take a detour in the face of the mists of the future!

Xiao Letian sighed and said, ”People don't like to see too many problems. Those spies from France and Russia, do they not want to analyze the strategy of Britain's top nations?”

”Why didn't the United Kingdom develop large caliber cannons in the early days? Why not equip yourself with more than four inches of superarmor? At the end of the day, the British politicians are still the ones who design the ideas! ”

”Britain is after all the British Empire, their colonies are all over the world, and the important task of the navy is to control the shipping routes around the world, to ensure the safety of the colonies!”

”In this kind of situation, politicians require that the navy be able to move around the world, and also take into account the economy!”

”The larger the diameter of the warship, the stronger the recoil. This way, the entire keel and internal structure of the warship will be redesigned and increased!”

”Will the cost increase? ”One or two is fine, but if you want to control the entire world, how many ships do you need?”

”And the problem of armor, the thicker the armor, the heavier the battleship is, and the more power it needs, how much coal will it burn?”

”Don't think that coal is worthless. The coal used for battleships is not something that can be easily used. You must burn the highest quality, smokeless white coal!”

”There is also the question of motivation. Should we completely give up on Feng Sail? Why is the steam power being used with the power of the sail when the steam technology is already mature? ”

”To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of replenishment!”

”It's not like Zhiyuan Warship have no weaknesses! Zhiyuan Warship s are too dependent on supply ships. If Zhiyuan Warship does not follow a supply ship, it will not even be possible for him to cross the Atlantic! ”

Britain had to consider many factors, which was why they did not put in the effort to open up the technology tree of the Cannon Ship!

It was precisely because of this Hundred Ghost Night walk that the Zhiyuan Warship had the opportunity to create history!
