Volume 2 Chapter 108 Commendation

The success of the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform not only allowed the Black Fire Shipyard to recover the cost without being built, but also had abundant production and R&D funds. The Florminke Empire Navy once again added orders for 200 turtle-class ships, which gained unprecedented fame for the Black Fire Shipyard.

This quickly attracted enough ship designers to the Black Fire Shipyard, and Daliang also proposed two warship design plans.

The first model is a 3,000-ton light destroyer. It uses conventional power and has a relatively conservative design idea, which is to upgrade and optimize based on the existing light destroyer design scheme. Since the turtle class is too outstanding in some performance, Daliang's requirement for this destroyer is to be able to match the turtle-class wolf pack tactics.

The most important indicator of performance is that it can block the pursuit from the air when the turtle-level retreats. Therefore, this destroyer must be equipped with more powerful air-to-air weapons, forcing Silver Wings to dare not pursue too much.

Designing a single light destroyer with outstanding performance is not a difficult task for a team of ship designers with a little level. Not to mention, Daliang has many stolen warship drawings in his hands, and you can get a good air defense destroyer by simply putting it together and refining it.

The second ship is the project that Daliang attaches most importance to.

The ship designers who received the design plan didn't know what they were designing.

The successful development of the aircraft is due to the contribution of the multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine. With the same output power, the multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine has a smaller volume and a lighter weight. The use of special steel has reduced the volume of the Black Fire Company's steam engine again.

On the other hand, when a multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine is as large as a traditional steam engine, its output power will of course be greater. At the same time, multi-cylinder direct injection steam engines are more water-saving than traditional steam engines. Pure water can form a self-circulation in the closed engine, and filling water can work for a long time.

Daliang asked his team of ship designers to develop an air combat platform that can fly in airspace over 1,000 meters. Daliang also gave his own design concept: a giant multi-cylinder direct injection steam engine can drive propellers with a blade of more than ten meters, and the propeller can form an upward and downward air pressure difference by blowing the lower part, thereby creating an upward lifting force.

Designing enough large propellers should allow thousands of tons of warships to fly.

In the early days, Daliang did not require this warship to have much attack power, a certain self-defense ability and strong communication ability.

The designers knew that there were large aerospace warships in the ancient magic era, but the principle of the ancient aerospace warship was to allow the hull to obtain flight functions through enchantment. Now they have no confidence in designing a warship that uses physical means to fly.

But this ship is the boss’s request. No matter how difficult it is to understand or have a wonderful idea, they can do their own things with a high salary.

If you want to become a qualified **oss when the player arrives, Daliang must let the military power of the Big Grave break through the planet's limitations. If you want to find those planes that leave, you need to have interstellar space capabilities.

The existing aerospace warship technology of Da Graves still has many shortcomings. If we can learn from natural technology, it will inevitably accelerate the development of space warships.

Black Fire Shipyard is on track because of the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform, which attracts the attention of the whole world, which makes the establishment of Black Fire Airlines a little inconspicuous.

But Black Fire Company is Black Fire Company after all. When Black Fire Airlines completed land grabbing with the assistance of the parliament, laying out the runway and starting frequent aircraft test flights, many people became interested in this fixed-wing aircraft.

The Marquis Whitehead invited Daliang to the Governor's House.

He warmly invited Daliang to sit down, and the Marquis said: "The performance of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform is very good. During the battle against the joint fleet, the Imperial Navy sank another warship. This made the anti-ship factions in the empire shut up. The empire has now found a state of unity in the Hundred Years' War."

Marquis Whitehead took out a beautifully decorated wooden box and pushed it in front of Daliang. Daliang opened it and exposed a gorgeous badge inside.

Daliang took out the badge and looked carefully. It was made of gold, with a polygonal surface, and there was a musketeer who was galloping in a horse and aiming. Daliang didn't know what the badge was for, so he asked the Marquis: "What is this?"

Marquis Whitehead laughed and said, "This is the Golden Knight Badge, and only those who have made special contributions to the Empire are eligible. Those who have the Golden Knight Badge also receive privileges equivalent to nobles in the Empire. I know that nobles are a symbol of the backward world in the eyes of some people, but it can indeed gain a lot of convenience for you.

This is just a commendation, not a ban.

Your Majesty originally wanted to appoint you as the Viscount of the Empire, but I suggest he give you the Golden Knight Badge."

Hearing this, Daliang couldn't help but look at the Marquis. He had a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. In the past, the Marquis had actively recommended the title of the empire for himself, so why did he take the initiative to block the title for himself?

Even sending this badge is so casual?

Daliang played with the Golden Knight badge, put it in the box and handed it to Sophia behind him for saving, and then said, "I express my sincere gratitude to the Emperor of Florminke for me. I like this badge very much. The Marquis invited me to come this time, probably not just to give me the badge, right?"

The Marquis looked at Daliang put away his badge, and his casual attitude seemed to have received an ordinary gift. His smile became stronger and said, "I know that the Black Fire Company has successfully developed a fixed-wing aircraft called 'aircraft'. I remember that Master Liang, you once invited me to invest in this research, but I refused... It was simply an idiot's decision. If I were given another chance, I would never miss the birth of such a great aircraft.

I saw photos and information of the aircraft. Its performance is better than that of the airship and its load capacity is much higher than that of the Silver Wing, and it has very good development prospects both in civil and military terms. The Whitehead family wants to invest in Blackfire Airlines. Although it is a little late, more funds will definitely speed up the optimization and improvement of the aircraft.

If the Empire had these aircraft, it would definitely greatly strengthen the Imperial Air Force's combat capabilities."

Blackfire Airlines frequently tests the new aircraft, and the performance and photos of the aircraft were naturally known by Marquis Whitehead. Seeing the big belly, the first thing the Marquis thought of was how many people or weapons it could hold and how it changed the war mode.

But Daliang refused the investment proposal of Marquis Whitehead: "Sorry, Governor. Dark Airways already have investments in the Marcelus Parliament, and I also promised to Speaker Peters: Aircraft produced by Dark Airways will be given priority to the Parliament.

The premise is that... When the special period comes, the parliament promises the Blackfire Company industrial zone and university alliance to be a demilitarized zone."
