Chapter Long live! Multi-turret sacred relics serve!
On January 11, 2784 of the Republic (1944 AD), Zhoushan Naval Base.
If you look at it from a satellite now, you will find a very interesting situation. The European and African continents on the earth are in war, but on the largest land, there is a peaceful scene of singing and dancing.
This is China, the most powerful country on the planet, the number one industrial country, the number one agricultural country, has the largest territory, the largest population, the most powerful army, and the most powerful scientific and technological strength!
At this moment, lights and decorate everywhere on Pier 1 of the naval base, full of festive atmosphere. Today is not a festival, it is just a ship entry ceremony. However, the specifications of today's ceremony are obviously too high compared to previous warships.
Wen Desi was sitting in the center of the VIP seat. He was surrounded by a circle of military and political leaders at the central level, especially the army. All four marshals arrived, and eight of the ten generals came. Let alone the navy's own. All the generals and generals arrived, and 70% came... Even the service ceremony of Guangdong-level nuclear-powered aircraft carriers was not so high-end.
The "old friends of the Chinese people" who were allowed to come to watch the ceremony, international friends, media reporters and people from all walks of life in China, had as many as 20,000 people, which filled the entire dock. Domestic military and political officials were all wearing formal dresses, and the onlookers were all wearing festive costumes, all of whom were happy.
Now everyone's eyes are focused on the two giant ships parked next to the dock. These two giant ships with red color are the protagonists today. China's last-class battleship is also the strongest and largest battleship in the world - the Shenzhou-class super battleship!
Marshal Wang Tiechui, commander-in-chief of the Navy, personally presided over the ceremony. First, the Navy Band played the "People's Navy March". As the rhythm sounded, the Navy Choir sang to the music:
The military songs are so loud and the red flag is flying.
From the Arctic Ocean to the Indian Ocean,
This is our great motherland!
The glory shines thousands of feet, shining on the earth.
Comrades stepped in unison and moved forward bravely.
Defend the truth and fight fearlessly!
Let Wen Desi's flag rise high!
Establish a new world of scientific socialism!
Created by leaders and built by people.
Born in the flames of revolution,
This is our great motherland!
Unite in one heart and firm as steel!
Comrades step by step and move forward bravely
Defend the truth and fight fearlessly!
Let Wen Desi's flag rise high!
Establish a new world of scientific socialism!
Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!
The Holy Fire of Civilization has passed down for thousands of generations!
Fight to protect human justice!
This is our great motherland!
Defeat the enemy thousands of miles away! Powerful and unrivaled!
Comrades step by step and move forward bravely!
Defend the truth and fight fearlessly!
Let Wen Desi's flag rise high!
Establish a new world of scientific socialism!
Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!
Not only were the Navy Choir singing, but all the Chinese who participated in the ceremony proudly sang the "People's Navy March". The atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm, and even some foreigners were affected by the environment and hummed excitedly.
Then Marshal Wang Tiechhui read a congratulatory speech on the rostrum: "...The Battleship Shenzhou and the Battleship Chixian are new types of warships of epoch-making significance. They are the crystallization of our country's highest-end science and technology... Under the cordial care of General Wen, the selfless support of relevant departments, and with the hard work of all designers and engineers, these two greatest battleships in history on this planet have finally been born... Their service is an important milestone in the construction of our country's naval! On behalf of the Navy, I wish the Battleship Shenzhou and the Battleship Chixian all the best in their future military careers, make contributions, and live up to their trust! Thank you everyone!"
"Papapapapapapapapa..." Applause, applause, warm applause suddenly echoed throughout the audience, and it was like a storm.
"Boom boom boom... boom boom boom..." Then, the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, and the sound of firecrackers was like a galloping horse and anger tide surged.
Then, Admiral Li Ang, who represented the Pacific Fleet, walked over with joy and took two certificates of entry from Wang Tiechong, which means that these two deep-well ice battleships will be affiliated with the Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet.
Then, Li Ang turned around and took out two translucent plastic seal bags from the file bag, signaling the four colonels next to him to come over. These four were the captains and political commissars of the two battleships. They hurriedly walked up to the rostrum with excitement on their faces.
Li Ang said to the two in the middle: "College Lin Zhenhai, Colonel Fan Ziqiang, on behalf of the Pacific Fleet, I will now award the captain of the battleship Shenzhou and the battleship Chixian to you..."
Standing in the middle, the two colonels walked up with flushed faces and saluted Li Ang very solemnly, "I, Lin Zhenhai (Fan Ziqiang) accepted the appointment of his superiors!" The two said solemnly.
Then carefully take the plastic seal bag, which contains the battleship's start-up magnetic card, which is equivalent to the car key. In addition to the start-up magnetic card, there is also a brand new navigation log, a special pen, and a stainless steel silver-plated ship nameplate.
The two new captains walked towards the two warships with a group of officers and soldiers who had been waiting on the dock. During this period, the military band had been playing various military songs.
Some of the onlookers were singing, but most of them were watching the warships and talking.
"The appearance of these two battleships is really weird, and they look like something from science fiction. I used to think that China's Kunlun-class heavy cruiser was already very avant-garde, but I didn't expect that this Shenzhou-class is even more avant-garde..."
"The word [Shenzhou] is of great significance in China. Now the Chinese use [Shenzhou] to name this class of warships, which shows that they really have high expectations for this warship..."
"It's so strange. Why is it covered with a square jacket on its main gun barrel? Is this for heat dissipation?"
"Why didn't you see the chimney? Did the Chinese really get the nuclear power?"
A group of foreign officials who came to watch the ceremony were watching the warships and talking.
"It's a pity that it's no longer a battle. Now it's the world of aircraft carriers. Battleships are outdated. Even such an 80,000-ton super battleship cannot be an opponent of the aircraft carrier..." The US military officer in China said with a smile: "It's just an expensive white elephant. In the face of more and more advanced carrier-based aircraft, no matter how good the battleship is, it's a target." This person is obviously a firm aircraft carrier faction.
Although the German military officers in China felt that it made sense, we must support the principle that the enemy opposed it. They said deliberately: "I'm afraid it may not be. If the Chinese were not confident in them, how could they be so grand?"
The Italian military officer quickly expressed his support: "Aircraft carriers are invented by the Chinese, and the most advanced aircraft carriers today are theirs. Don't they know how powerful the aircraft carriers are?" This is a BB party member. He has to oppose the Americans' words both public and private. And now these two science fiction battleships that make people unaware of the sci-fi battleships at first sight make him feel the new hope of the battleships.
As soon as these few spoke, officers from other countries joined in, and everyone expressed their opinions and fought red.
"Mr. Wen, this is the basic data of the Shenzhou-class battleship..." Chief designer Xu Wei handed a confidential document to Wen Desi.
Wen Desi took it and looked it up. The file contains line diagrams of warships, three views, and colored renderings. Its data is also available.
It says: The entire ship is 300 meters long / the waterline is 280 meters long, the ship is 44 meters wide, and the draft is 11 meters. The standard displacement is 82,300 tons, and the full load displacement is 96,300 tons. The power system consists of 4 air-cooled value-added reactors and 8 thermoelectric conversion generator sets. It is fully electric and has a maximum output power of 400,000 kilowatts and a maximum speed of 37 knots. The endurance is meaningless. The energy of the value-added reactor can provide it with full speed and combat for more than 50 years.
Moreover, not all of the four reactors are powered by warships, and a large number of them are powered by various equipment and weapons on the warships. This kind of warship is not only full of science fiction on the outside, but also the same is true inside. Compared with the Guangdong-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, these two Shenzhou-class are the real black technology collection.
Its main gun is three triple 550mm solenoid coil guns, which can fire shells of various specifications from 100mm to 550mm. Of course, this just means that it has the ability to fire ammunition in specifications. How can it be possible to fire small shells under normal circumstances? Because it is an electromagnetic gun, its initial velocity can be adjusted between 100-5,000 meters and is used to bombard targets at different distances. When firing 550mm shells, the rate of fire is 4 rounds per minute.
The shells are used as: 1. The overweight armor-piercing bomb is 3,700 kilograms, and the maximum power of the charge is 170 kilometers (this type of bomb can only reach 1,700 meters due to its own weight and main gun power problems), and the ultimate range is 1,000 mm deep.
2. Ordinary armor-piercing bombs weigh 2,100 kilograms, charge 150 kilograms, range 240 kilometers at maximum power, and ultimate range penetration depth 500 mm.
3. Ordinary high-explosion (combustion) bomb, the bullet weighs 1,800 kg, the charge is 1,200 kg, and the range is 290 kilometers at the maximum power.
4. Light high-explosion (combustion) bomb, the bullet weighs 1,200 kilograms, the charge is 800 kilograms, and the range is 370 kilometers at the maximum power.
In addition to the above major shells, they are also equipped with various special shells and gun-fired missiles dedicated to attacking light ships and fighter jets. The caliber of these shells ranges from 150 mm to 350 mm, the bullet weight ranges from 45 kg to 400 kg, and the firing rate ranges from 6 to 35 rounds per minute. The range can range from 450-650 kilometers at the highest power.
Needless to say, other missiles, helicopters, etc. are all high-end. The most worth mentioning is that they are equipped with extremely science fiction force field shield systems, microwave air defense guns and laser anti-missile systems, as well as electromagnetic near-defense gun systems... and so on.
Simply put, the Shenzhou-class super battleship is the end of the battleship on Earth, but it is the starting point of the space battleship. That's right, it was developed based on a space battleship from the 22nd century. The various systems on it are pre-tested for future space battleships.
