"Fighter-bombers are mainly used to assault ground or water targets within the enemy's operational tactical depth. They have strong assault capabilities and certain air combat capabilities."

"Assault aircraft are mainly used to attack ground or water targets within the enemy's operational tactical depth from low altitudes and ultra-low altitudes. They have strong attack firepower, but weak penetration capabilities."

"Reconnaissance aircraft are mainly used to obtain intelligence from the air. They have the characteristics of high flying altitude, good maneuverability and long endurance."

"Transport aircraft are mainly used for air transportation and have the characteristics of large load capacity, long range and long endurance."

"Early warning aircraft are mainly used for air command and control. They have the characteristics of strong detection capabilities, good maneuverability and strong survivability."

"A combat helicopter is a helicopter specially used for attack and combat. It has the characteristics of high speed, good maneuverability and strong attack firepower."

"There are also civilian aircraft, civilian helicopters and passenger aircraft."

"In the future, aircraft and ships can also be combined to form an aircraft carrier."

"Of course the road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time."

"Next, I will take you to the south to search for a group of talents. Your plane needs talents in all aspects. I will take you to harvest the wool."

"Except for the first and second leaders in those factories, you can take away the other key players, but don't take them all away. I have to continue with other projects."

"In addition, if you ask for the engine, they will design it according to your requirements."

"The earliest development in our country is the engine. I have already asked them to research aircraft engines, which can greatly shorten your scientific research time."

"My Lord, you are so comprehensive. I feel that your research on aircraft is deeper than mine. I really want to study with you. You will be the leader and I will be your deputy."

"Hahaha, please stop flattering me. I'm the king of words. I'm fine in words, but in practice I'm a mess."

"Professional things should be done by professionals. I just need to take care of the general direction."

After Li Jingxiao met Li Laier, he asked Lu Wantong to take Li Laier to Zhengzhou to select a location.

After the site selection for the two research institutes was completed, Li Jingxiao took Li Lair to Fujian.

This time they took a train, and the itinerary was kept secret. Only the security company knew Li Jingxiao's movements.

After sitting for more than two days, we successfully arrived in Fujian.

This was unthinkable before.

Li Jingxiao came to Fujian this time to launch a new warship, and to launch a new truck.

The first place Li Jingxiao came to was Fujian Shipyard.

The warship launched this time has a total of six targets, three major shipyards, and each shipyard has two targets.

At present, the first ship of the three major shipyards has been built, and Li Jingxiao chose to hold the launching ceremony in Fujian.

The other two locations are conducted simultaneously.

Because Li Jingxiao was going to hold a launching ceremony in Fujian, Lu Mo, the general person in charge of ship design, was also here to participate with Li Jingxiao.

After Li Jingxiao arrived, the next day was the day when the launching ceremony was held.

Today is a good day, suitable for launching warships.

In recent years, the Tenglong Army has launched warships into the water as fast as dumplings.

The main reason is that the sea area of ​​​​Tenglong Army is too wide and there must be enough warships to cruise.

What was launched this time was a battleship, a new round of capital ships of the Tenglong Army.

Li Jingxiao came to the dock.

I saw hundreds of officers and soldiers standing in ten rows under the leadership of Hainan Fleet Commander Li Jiwei.

When Li Jingxiao showed up.

Li Jiwei immediately shouted: "Salute!"

Everyone saluted in unison.

Li Jingxiao walked to the podium and saluted the soldiers.

After Li Jingxiao sat down, Lu Mo began to introduce the warship.

"Good morning, Grand Governor and colleagues."

"In order to meet the later development needs of the Tenglong Empire Navy, our Naval Research Institute has recently built a brand new battleship."

"This battleship is also an epoch-making battleship."

"Everyone knows that we have launched four pre-dreadnought battleships before. The battleship we are launching now is a battleship with a completely different concept from the previous battleships."

"Next, I will tell my colleagues how to distinguish between former unnecessary ships and unnecessary ships."

"The main feature of the pre-dreadnought is that it is equipped with naval guns of various calibers to engage different types of ships."

"The fire control of the former dreadnought is relatively primitive, and it is impossible to centrally direct the firing. Each gun position usually aims and fires independently."

"Their power system mainly consists of coal-fired boilers and triple-expansion steam engines, which makes their speed relatively low, generally below 20 knots."

"Our Zheng Chenggong-class battleships fall into this category."

"Currently, I have received information that several major countries are using our Zheng Chenggong-class battleship as a template to build a large number of former unnecessary battleships."

"The Dreadnought is a new type of battleship designed by us. Compared with the previous Dreadnought, the Dreadnought adopts a design with a unified main gun caliber and layout of the turrets along the central axis of the hull. During combat, it engages the enemy with its sides, and the main guns are unified. Fire control ensures that each main gun can fire at the enemy during a battle, and the main gun salvo is used to maximize the hit rate."

"After our estimation, this kind of shooting efficiency makes the combat effectiveness of the dreadnought ship more than 50% higher than that of the previous dreadnought ship under similar tonnage conditions."

"In addition, the dreadnought's power system has also been improved, using steam turbines, which not only allows the dreadnought to reach higher speeds, but also maintain this speed for a long time."

"In general, the difference between pre-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts mainly lies in the design of their fire control system, power system and main armament."

"The Grand Governor once issued an order. Every time we fight, our weapons must be at least one level ahead of those of other countries in order to defeat the enemy."

"Next, let me talk about our Dreadnought-class battleship."

"This battleship has a standard displacement of tons and a fully loaded displacement of tons."

"The overall dimensions are 161.3 meters long, 25.5 meters wide, and 8.5 meters draft."

"Power: main engine output shaft horsepower, 4 axles, maximum speed of 20.75 knots, endurance of 5720 nautical miles/10.5 knots."

"The crew is at full strength of 732."

"The weaponry is equipped with 10 5-seat twin-mounted/45-caliber 320mm main guns, 16 single-mounted 210mm/50-caliber secondary guns, and 3 457mm underwater torpedo tubes."

"In terms of armor, the main armor belt is 127mm-254mm, the deck is 13mm-89mm, the turret is 280mm-102mm, the gun mount is 254mm, and the command tower is 280mm."

Li Jiwei couldn't help but get excited. This was a big guy with a full load of over 20,000 tons.

Think about the time when he was just the captain of the 4,000-ton Zhenyuan ship.

Now that he has become the commander of the fleet, he will soon add a 20,000-ton behemoth to his hands, and the second one will be launched in a while.
