"The Bavarian-designed battlecruiser side-string armor is 250mm thick and 15-degree inclined armor. If you count the underwater extension, the vertical height is 4.8 meters if I remember correctly, of which the 250mm thick armor is 3.2 meters. The underwater part It gradually weakened to 180mm, right?" William II said.

"That's it, Your Majesty," the prince nodded and said.

"Well, Wigner, the height of the main armor of your warship must meet this standard. No matter how much tonnage you use, the Navy's budget for this warship is only 44 million marks! If it is not enough, then you can make up for it yourself. "The Kaiser was very calm, but for some people, it was like a bolt from the blue!

If the prince participates in the bidding, half of the reason is for the strength of the German high seas fleet, and half for making money. Then the Emperor Wilhelm Shipyard as a pure merchant is purely for making money! Think about it, in order to make money, the French warships can be equipped with German optical instruments. What moral integrity do these businessmen have? If you can't make money, what's the point of this bidding?

The price of a ton of hardened armor is now £100. Even if the weight of the defensive armor is only increased by 100 tons, it will be 10,000 pounds, which is 200,000 marks! Wegener has not calculated how much extra weight would be needed if it was in accordance with Bavarian standards. Anyway, this data is definitely uncomfortable. Although 44 million marks seems to be a lot, in fact, the profit is only about 20%, which is 8 million marks. The increase in armor weight of warships is not just simply adding armor, but other tonnages will also increase.

(Look at the Develinger and Mochi. The weight difference between the two sides is 4000 tons. In terms of power, the former is not as good as the latter, and the weapon weight is about the same. The main weight is the defense. Get up, chocolate is the real conscience.)

There was a slight smile on the corner of the prince’s mouth. The Kaiser’s statement showed that he was a little dissatisfied with Wigner’s plan, but this was not enough, because adding armor and weight would indeed increase a lot of expenses, but there was still profit. Yes, and if you want to save some weight, it is not rare for a designer. There are too many places where armor can be cut, for example, the armor of the gun gallery is cut a little, and the front and tail armor is cut a little. Although it is estimated that it is difficult for people to accept the key protection now, it does not prevent Wigener from doing some tricks in the secondary protection part!

Therefore, the prince needs to make persistent efforts to defeat this plan in a more intuitive and thorough way, and then step on 10,000 feet, so that he will never turn over! In order to realize this plan, the prince still has to find problems in performance, and it is not too easy to find problems from warships of this era!

This time, the prince's entry point is still sidestring defense! Although the prince of this plane has not yet brought out the ultimate theory of battleship defense in history-key defense, he has considered it when doing it. For example, in the Bavarian plan, the thickness of the main horizontal armor is 3 inches, and the upper edge It is connected to the upper part of the main armor!

The 75mm main horizontal armor and the 250mm side chords inclined 15 degrees form an armor box, which can perfectly block the shells out of the core compartment, although the total height of the armor belt is only 4.8 meters. But because there is no dome, there is no limit to the height of the boiler room, which is considered sufficient. The prince has not yet dared to remove the armor, but it is also weakened to 6 inches, which can block the secondary artillery shells, but the main gun armor-piercing shells are difficult to block.

But it doesn't matter if you can't stop it, anyway, after penetrating the 6-inch upper armor, there is still 75mm horizontal armor to repair the leakage. It is absolutely impossible for the shells of this plane to penetrate the 6-inch sidestring armor and then penetrate the 75mm horizontal armor. Although the focus is advanced in defense, the 6-inch top is still very useful for reducing damage when facing the semi-armor-piercing bullets that the British love to use. Moreover, the German Navy may not accept the cancellation of armor in this era!

But what is the armored defense designed by Wignado? Sidestring defense is almost dominated by 200mm armor, supplemented by 270mm armor. The horizontal defense is divided into three layers, the top deck is 35mm thick, there is a 15mm steel plate in the middle, and the bottom layer is a 25mm horizontal dome! In fact, steel plates below 20mm have almost no defense against large-caliber artillery, and even the fragments of the shells can penetrate this thick armor. In other words, if the ice behind the 200mm armor on the side can be penetrated to ensure that it does not explode in advance, then the effect of the back dome is extremely limited!

"Even after strengthening the sidestring armor, there will still be problems. Mr. Wigner's defensive design has serious problems. Unless major modifications are made, it will not be able to adapt to the future battle." The prince said with a smile.

"But what I want to make is that even with only 8 inch armor, it is enough to withstand the attack of 12 inch naval guns. At least for now, there is no battle that can penetrate 7 inch hardened armor in actual combat." Wigener retorted. Tao.

"Sir, you are too full of words, this is not necessarily true! Just yesterday, I just received the shooting range test data of the new 12-inch l45 gun from Skoda. You can take a look!" The prince finally took out. A long-prepared killer!

"At a simulated distance of 10km, the new 12-inch artillery can easily penetrate the hardened armor of more than 9 inches with the new capped armor-piercing projectile! We are now only about 8km away from fighting, and at this distance, Mr. Wigner The design is totally unstoppable! Even with the dome behind it can’t stop it! Because the horizontal armor is only 25mm, the fragments after the bomb explosion can penetrate, and if the bomb does not explode early, the remaining shells may also be penetrated. The 50mm dome behind!"

The prince finally came out with his own assassin! Without being capped, 8-inch armor is sufficient to withstand all damage. It doesn't really matter whether it is thickened or not! But in fact, in World War I, the German 12-inch gun could penetrate 10-inch armor at a distance of 11 kilometers~lightnovelpub.net~ and this plane, although the prince only used the hard-capped armor-piercing bullet , Elongated the projectile body, while reducing the charge to increase the strength of the projectile, but because of some basic technology and the lack of reliable fuzes, the penetration depth of the shells of this era is worse than that of the German 12-inch guns in the first battle.

However, this is enough to challenge 8-inch armor in the current environment! Although the penetration depth is a bit worse, the combat distance is also close. Compared with the combat distance of about 15 kilometers in Jutland, the current combat distance is only half! At the current engagement distance of 8 kilometers, Skoda’s new 12-inch gun pierced Wigner’s 8-inch armor is really no problem at all!

"This..." Either Wigener or Liole was stunned at this time. There is no way, no one will tolerate his warship being as crisp as paper in front of the opponent's main gun! What is most important in this era? Knowledge and information! Wigner's design is entirely in accordance with the defense against existing weapon attacks. After the prince took out a weapon that surpassed the times, Wigner's design was naturally unable to defend! Needless to say, this bid still failed!
