Chapter 592 (2/2)

Today's test, he is the captain of the ship, even the stone bear and hard bone can only be spectators.

With the noise and vibration rising again, the stone bear felt that Carlos, which had adjusted its direction, began to accelerate slowly.

Although the speed is not fast, it is undoubtedly a very good result.

It's a steel warship. It's also a warship propelled by propeller. It can make the ship float and not sink until it can move and accelerate slowly. This is a huge breakthrough.

Although the ship was designed by stone bear based on the American Caldwell class destroyer in the first World War, it is far from being compared with the real Caldwell class destroyer.

Although the appearance is very similar, the inner things are far from each other.

For example, the real Caldwell destroyer in previous generations was propelled by two shafts and two propellers. Its core power was four Schulz thonycroft coal-fired boilers (Schulz sunnycroft type coal-fired boilers) and two Parsons steam turbines (Parsons type steam turbines), This configuration can power the Caldwell destroyer up to 10000 horsepower per axle.

The boiler of Carlos is a steam boiler made by the Yanhuang tribe. Although the efficiency of this new boiler is far higher than that of any other steam boiler in Europe at present under the guidance of Shi Xiong, it is still not as efficient as that of the steam boiler in World War I.

Besides, there is no steam turbine on the Carlos. This ship only adopts the original mechanical conversion method of converting steam engine into mechanical power. Well, it's similar to the working principle of locomotive.

The efficiency of the steam engine is far less than that of the Caldwell, and the efficiency of transforming steam power into mechanical power is also far less than that of the Caldwell, so the Carlos can only be regarded as an armored ship with the shape of the Caldwell.

The former Caldwell class destroyers were equipped with four triple 533mm torpedo launchers, two 40mm Table Tennis guns and two 7.6mm air defense machine guns. But Carlos doesn't need torpedoes or air defense, so Carlos doesn't have torpedo launchers, table tennis guns or air defense machine guns.

In terms of firepower, Carlos is no less than the real Caldwell class destroyer.

But the power is not good, everything is blind.

The Caldwell class destroyer can speed up to 32 knots, but what about Carlos?

Anyway, now the stone bear doesn't know, no one knows, everything can only be known after the sea trial.

But the bear didn't have much faith in Carlos. After all, the core power is too bad

But many things in the world are so interesting sometimes.

It's just like the stone bear didn't have much confidence in the speed of the Carlos at the beginning. Anyway, it's just an experimental ship. The experience accumulated in the process of building this ship is the most important.

Unexpectedly, the steel warship launched for the first time soon gave stone bear a big surprise.

Today's weather is not very good. It's windy. The waves in the Elizabeth River, which is more than one kilometer wide, are more than half a meter high.

But in the waves more than half a meter high, with the black smoke coming out of the four chimneys of the Carlos becoming more and more dense, the ship seems to have become a dolphin who has escaped the orca, and even runs faster and faster on the wide rive
