Chapter 30 Can Build Together

Zhu Jingyuan judged that he should have figured out the instructions of Emperor Shizu, and roughly understood the old emperor's mentality, and knew what kind of misunderstanding he had entered.

However, Zhu Jingyuan would not object to the emperor to build an aircraft carrier, because he could indeed start trying to build an aircraft carrier.

The first flight experiment time in history was in December 1903, and the first military aircraft entered service in 12.

The earliest aircraft carrier concept in history appeared in a book published in 1909, the first warship deck take-off experiment was in November 1910.

The world's first dreadnought was launched on December 1906, 12.

In other words, the attempt of a dreadnought with all main guns and the attempt of a warship to carry an aircraft actually happened in the same era.

Even the four years of slow carrier-based aircraft experiments were also caused by additional objective reasons.

Because the Wright Brothers weren't professional designers, just two bike mechanics interested in flying machines.

The first flight test was actually very reluctant, and the aircraft that could actually fly stably was not made until after 1905.

The news of the success of early aircraft experiments was once regarded as fake news by the US military.

It was more and more reporters who took actual flight photos and published them in newspapers and magazines, which made public opinion slowly ferment.

Only then did the military, under the direction of the president, begin direct contact with the Wright brothers.

After the military confirmed the authenticity of the flight, discussions and attempts to use it for the military began.

It is normal for this whole process to waste several years, but once the aircraft is actually used for military use, the idea of ​​​​installing it on the ship will appear very quickly.

Therefore, it was not when the dreadnought was launched that the navy at that time could not think of letting the aircraft on the warship, but did not know or believe that the aircraft existed.

Now, Zhu Jingyuan himself and the craftsmen who helped make the planes are both public officials of the Ming court.

The airplane experiment was reproduced directly before the eyes of a large number of craftsmen, and before the emperor and the Ministry of Industry wrote.

Therefore, the research on the militaryization of aircraft will be carried out directly and rapidly. Zhu Jingyuan, who has a lot of mature experience, can promote this process quickly.

At the same time, whether it is the modification and construction of warships, it also takes a few months to more than a year, which is just the time for military aircraft to basically mature.

In other words, on the Ming side of this world, dreadnoughts can be designed at the same time as aircraft carriers.

Of course, dreadnoughts are still the mainstay now, and this state may last for ten to 20 years.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the excited old emperor and responded with consideration for his own language:
"Sun Chen believes that the design and construction of warships equipped with flying machines can begin, but it is only an attempt.

"And artillery battleships with full main guns should be given a higher priority to start designing and building them as soon as possible."

Hearing this answer, the other three people at the scene looked at Zhu Jingyuan together.

The Minister of Industry and Zhu Jianyan didn't quite understand, or even fully understood, what happened to the warships with aircraft.

The old emperor understood in his heart, but he did not directly reject it, but asked habitually:

"Why do you have to arrange it this way?"

Zhu Jingyuan considered the possible message of Emperor Shizu, analyzed the current inner state of the old emperor, and explained in the simplest possible way:
"The reason is also very simple. The performance of the newly born aircraft is really very limited. It may be used for reconnaissance, but it is difficult to damage any enemy.

"The fully equipped main gun battleship is an overall sublimation of the existing mature battleships, and the deterrence and strike capabilities will be greatly improved.

"To use a human analogy, the battleships carrying aircraft are still babies, while the battleships with full main guns are officially weak youths.

"A warship carrying an aircraft cannot become a major combat force until the aircraft can carry hundreds of kilograms of bombs and fly back and forth hundreds of kilometers.

"In the next 20 to 30 years, we still need enough large artillery warships to guard the tens of thousands of miles of our Ming Dynasty."

After listening to these explanations, Zou Bingtai and Zhu Jianyan subconsciously imagined what effect it would have on a plane carrying hundreds of kilograms of bombs to and from hundreds of kilometers.

What kind of fighting method is that.

The old emperor was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly glanced at Zhu Jianyan, and finally turned to Zhu Jingyuan, saying something unclear:

"That is to say, until the time of your grandson, this kind of warship will be really useful?"

Zhu Jingyuan didn't think too much, just nodded and said:

"Almost, the engine of the aircraft needs to be constantly updated, and the boiler and turbine systems of the battleship are constantly upgraded and innovated.

"The process that steam engines and trains have gone through from their appearance to maturity, internal combustion engines and aircraft and new warships will also go through it."

The old emperor sighed softly, expecting a little melancholy to say:
"Then the grandson can make it go as fast as possible? Grandpa probably won't live by that time..."

Zhu Jingyuan immediately felt that the old emperor was really a little discouraged now.

The old emperor passed the complete examination of the crown prince, and finally won the favor of the previous emperor. His own ability and judgment ability are beyond doubt.

His mind is still very clear now, and he soon realizes that what Zhu Jingyuan said is the truth.

I have been looking forward to it, probably for 30 years, and now I finally see the light, so the whole person is excited.

In the end, he found that he had to wait another 30 to 65 years, and he himself was [-] years old, so he didn't have that much time.

After realizing this, Zhu Jingyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and spoke in a panic to comfort:
"I will definitely try my best to speed it up, and I myself hope that they can be realized as soon as possible.

"Also, it may take two to thirty years for them to become the main force, but it doesn't take that many years to form a mature combat method.

"If all goes well, at most ten years, at the fastest five or six years, their fighting methods can be intuitively displayed.

"Moreover, we can directly build this type of warship in two years, and the key to realizing its role is the performance of the aircraft it carries.

"If engine technology can develop by leaps and bounds, it will become the main force faster.

"So Grandpa, don't be discouraged, you must relax your mind, work hard to live a long life, and watch them show their power on the battlefield."

The old emperor looked at Zhu Jingyuan's face, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly nodded vigorously:

"Okay, okay, okay, the future development planning of naval warships will be handed over to Jing Yuan.

"As long as grandpa is still alive, he will fully support you, let go and do it."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded vigorously as a matter of course:
"Thank you grandfather for your support. I will do my best to promote research and development. I will be in the housing industry in the future, and Zou Lao Shangshu should not drive me away..."

When the old emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed inexplicably:

"The Ministry of Industry wants to drive you away, so you can live in the palace opposite, and I'll have someone leave the door for you."

Zou Shangshu also laughed:

"Then the old minister really has to find a way to drive His Highness out..."

Zhu Jianyan followed suit, but didn't say anything.

Although the distance between my home and the Ministry of Industry may be closer than that of the Qianqing Palace.

But why would you say it's unpleasant at this time?

Although the two old men were joking, it was not an ordinary sentence to let the theoretically grown grandson live in the palace.

Maybe it's not that you don't have a chance at all.
