Chapter 438: submarine

(Not finished, wait half an hour to refresh)

On the sea, a battleship was galloping so fast that the Eagle, which was following behind with a speed of 23 knots, could not catch up. On the Eagle, more than a dozen naval officers were watching the fast-moving battleship.

"The Lombardi is really fast."

An officer looked at the protected cruiser USS Lombardi galloping in the distance and couldn't help but praise.

"Of course it's fast. The 10,000-horsepower power is installed on a thousand-ton reconnaissance cruiser. It's definitely not slow."

The officer beside him retorted.

"I'm talking about the absolute speed of the Lombardi. It has been two hours. The Lombardi can still guarantee a high speed of 32 knots, which is unbelievable in the past. So I said that steam turbines are the future warships. main power equipment.”

"This is not necessarily the case. Who can say what will happen in the future? Steam turbines seem to be good now, but who can imagine whether new power equipment will appear in the future. I feel that diesel engines are the best power equipment in the future. "

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the other officers. Suddenly, someone suddenly coughed twice on purpose, and the two eloquent officers immediately stopped their speeches.

I saw a group of people appearing in front of them on the command tower with a better observation position for the ship.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that the steam turbine equipped on the Lombardi is a new type of power equipment developed by our naval power. This equipment has a power of up to 10,000 horsepower, and can maintain a full output state for a long time. For our navy ships, it has a very huge role."

Admiral Yagier, Minister of the Navy, was introducing to Carlo incessantly, the Lombardi, which was equipped with steam turbines at high speed, was in the distance.

"The researchers at the Naval Power Institute have worked hard. On behalf of the kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Carlo pulled the director of the power station next to him, the embarrassment on the director's face flashed, but he couldn't avoid the king's enthusiasm, he could only keep smiling to cover up his embarrassment.

That's right, this steam turbine is really built by the Naval Power Research Institute. It is similar to the steam turbine of the British Empire Parsons Company, both of which are 10,000 horsepower. But to say that it came out of his own research, this embarrassed the director of the Naval Power Institute.

Think about yourself spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and the result is not as fast as someone else who spends less. In addition, in order to complete the target plan, you need to buy technology from the other party. For everyone who wants to face the powerhouse, this is really an unspeakable thing.

But sometimes that's the way it is, a flash of genius is more effective than everyone else's efforts, and this kind of frustration is unnecessary.

Of course, for the current director of the Dynamics Research Institute, this damned public execution inspection would have ended as soon as possible, so that he could get out of this bad state.

But it was clear that the king did not hear his heart.

"Mr. Rudnev, how long can your steam turbine keep running at this full speed?"

Carlo's question made the director of the Power Research Institute have to answer again, only to see him squeeze out a smile. "Your Majesty, this steam turbine can run at full speed for 12 hours. We have tested it on land, and the effect is amazing."

"It's really good. It can run for such a long time. It really is an epoch-making power equipment."

Facing Carlo's sigh, Admiral Yagier immediately agreed. "Your Majesty is right. This kind of power that can run at full load for a long time is exactly what the Navy needs urgently. With steam turbines, naval warships have more options no matter what mission they are in."

Admiral Yagier is right, the Admiralty is already considering waiting until the Lombardi tests are completed before the Navy installs steam turbines on more warships.

Of course, there is still a condition that restricts it, and that is price.

The cost of this steam turbine is not cheap at all, almost twice as expensive as the triple expansion reciprocating steam engine.

This price is destined to be impossible for the navy to complete the replacement. After all, the navy has limited money and can only spend it on the edge.

Of course, watching the operation of the steam turbine on the Lombardi, you can't just let the king watch it all the time, it's too boring. However, if you want to divert the king's attention and make it less boring, at least other battleships need to take part in it.

However, the tall and mighty main battleship has been sold cleanly. Is it possible to invite the king to visit the Galio-class battleship that has been in service for nearly 20 years?

Don't make trouble, take the king to see the front-mounted gun battleship (the largest 460mm main gun in history) 20 years ago, I am afraid that I will do this if I lose my mind.

But then, Admiral Yagier thought of a gadget.

"Your Majesty, our navy has developed a new warship that can dive into the water. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in seeing it."

"Very interested, take me to see."

How could Carlo not be interested in the words of the Secretary of the Navy. He actually only paid attention to the large warships on the water, and even forgot about the assassin in the water. Submarines are powerful weapons. Although they do not play a big role in the Mediterranean Sea, you must know that Italy currently has overseas colonies, and it is very suitable for the use of such marine assassins.

Then the group returned to the Taranto military port. Under the leadership of Admiral Yagier, they came to a small military pier. A boat with submarine characteristics appeared in front of everyone. Compared with the warships next to it, this submarine is very small, its exposed length does not exceed 20 meters, and its width is about two meters.

"Your Majesty, this diving vessel was designed by the Department of Naval Design"
