After the Sino-US War, the Imperial Navy became the overlord of the world's naval forces. The strength of the navy was beyond the reach of other countries in the world. Even the Royal Navy of the British Empire at its peak was hard to match.

Under this circumstance, the signing of the Convention on the Restriction of Arms by the Five Nation Navy after the War, and the Imperial Chinese Navy became the largest proportion of owners, marking that the navies of the world's powers finally recognized the world hegemony of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

In this way, the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire became the internationally recognized strongest navy in the era of treaty naval forces. In addition, the economic weakness of the Western powers after the war was weak and unable to support the powerful naval force, so they could only maintain a national defense naval force to the minimum.

Although the main battleships of the Chinese Empire's naval force decreased by two-thirds after the disarmament, no naval force could threaten the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire, and it was even less likely to pose a threat to the Heng territory and colonies of the Chinese Empire, because the remaining one-third of the naval force of the Chinese Empire is still the most powerful existence in the world, and the sum of the tonnage of the main battleships of the British, French, German and Italian naval forces.

In this environment, it is no surprise that the Imperial Empire Congress significantly reduced naval funds and stopped building main ships, allowing the Imperial Navy to take a long holiday. Of course, the Imperial Empire Navy is on vacation overall, but it does not mean that the Imperial Empire Navy has relaxed the construction of naval power.

Emperor Chen Hao of the Chinese Empire knew that the main forces of the future naval forces should be aircraft carrier combat groups and naval aviation. Therefore, during the naval holiday that had lasted for ten years, under the leadership of Wang Chenhao, the Imperial Navy invested a lot of funds and manpower in the construction of aircraft carrier combat groups and naval aviation forces, which made the Imperial Navy's development in this regard make great progress.

During the Atlantic War, the Imperial Chinese Navy successively built ten main aircraft carriers and modified more than 100 transport and escort aircraft carriers. During the war, the naval aviation force reached its peak. The number of carrier-based fighter jets was more than the total of the naval aviation forces of various countries. It provided a powerful Bi for the Imperial Chinese Navy to eventually defeat the US Navy.

After the war, the Chinese Empire Navy laid off all modified transport aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers to restore the commercial operational nature of these aircraft carriers. It was only a verge of ten main aircraft carriers, including two Huangshan-class aircraft carriers with a 28,000-ton standard platoon, four Emeishan-class aircraft carriers with a 42,000-ton standard platoon, and four Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers built during the war but were not in service until after the war.

As the main force and core command ships of the Imperial Chinese Navy aircraft carrier battle group, these ten aircraft carriers are the most advanced worldwide, and no aircraft carrier of any country can surpass them.

However, after 1927, the tonnage of aircraft carriers of the British Navy and the German Navy had reached the Huangshan class. In addition, the service age of the Huangshan class aircraft carrier has been close to twenty years, and various equipment has been seriously outdated and aging. Maintenance costs have surged, and the value of continuing to serve is no longer great. Therefore, the Navy of the Empire of China decided to retire the Huangshan class aircraft carrier.

On October 10, 2018, on the National Day of the Chinese Empire, the two aircraft carriers, Huangshan [cv-6] and Lushan [cv-7], were on duty for the last combat readiness in the East China Sea. All officers and soldiers of the two ships arranged on the decks as Long Live the Chinese Empire, giving gifts to the Empire's National Day. Then, a grand retirement ceremony was held at the home port Dalian Naval Base and handed over to the Dalian Naval Comprehensive Training Center base, renamed Qianduo Lianhua Mountain and Phoenix Mountain (two famous mountains in Liaoning Province)△ It is used for the aircraft carrier training ship of the Imperial Naval Training Center.

After the retirement of the Huangshan and Lushan, the Chinese Empire Navy had only two-class eight aircraft carriers and eight aircraft carrier battle groups. It turned out that the two aircraft carrier battle groups where the Huangshan and Lushan were located had a total of eight Chinese ASCHEU air defense cruisers, more than 20 heavy rain-class hunting ships, more than a dozen Song-class and Tang-class submarines, and more than 20 logistics supply ships, and the communication ships would also face dissolution and redistribution. The commanders of the other eight aircraft carrier battle groups made requests, asking the Navy to allocate these warships to them to enhance the strength of their aircraft carrier battle groups. However, due to the unequal distribution of warships and military sources, the commanders of the eight aircraft carrier battle groups made a big fuss with each other, causing a very bad impact.

Finally, the Navy simply refused to give it to anyone and reorganized the aircraft carrier battle group.

According to the Chinese Navy Combat Readiness Regulations, all combat ships of the Imperial Navy are divided into three parts. One-third of the ships are on duty every day and are ready to respond to emergencies that occur anywhere in the world at any time. One-third of the ships stay in the Han Center for training to ensure that they have the ability to complete specific combat tasks and keep the combat effectiveness of the fleet from decreasing. One-third of the ships are carrying out operations, that is, entering the dock for troops and maintenance, upgrading the existing weapon and equipment system, and enough ships will be put into battle when the sudden arrival of the battle.

Under the leadership of this combat readiness code, the eight aircraft carrier battle groups could not be divided into three parts evenly, so the Admiralty decided to build another aircraft carrier battle group, so that the nine aircraft carrier battle groups would be divided into three parts, and they would take turns to carry out combat readiness and duty.

The plan for the new aircraft carrier battle group was soon approved by the Imperial Emperor Chenhao, and the Navy Command issued an order to formally establish the Ninth Aircraft Carrier Battle Group. The General Administration of Shipbuilding and Administration is responsible for building the main aircraft carriers required for the Ninth Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.

At the end of the 27th year of Guanghua, the General Administration of Shipbuilding and Administration completed the design plan for the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier ◇The Jingshan-class aircraft carrier was built at the same level. The Fanjingshan [cv-36] was named after the famous Fanjingshan Mountain in Guizhou. It is an upgrade and improved type of Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier.

The Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier was originally the first large aircraft carrier built by the Imperial Navy in preparation for war against the United States. The Huangshan-class was previously a light aircraft carrier, while the Emei-class was only a medium aircraft carrier. The displacement of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier reached 64,000 tons, while the newly designed Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier was slightly reduced while maintaining the same combat effectiveness as the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier due to technological progress.

In the decade after the war, the Chinese Empire had huge industrial achievements and scientific and technological achievements, while the naval industry was an important measure to test most of the achievements of the Chinese Empire in the past ten years. The technological content on a warship was enough to show the overall industrial level and the strength of the country's scientific and technological strength.

As early as when the construction of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier started, Chinese people accounted for a considerable proportion of the designers, experts and senior engineers responsible for the project. When it came to the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier, from design to construction, Chinese designers, shipbuilding experts, senior technical engineers, and even an ordinary welder accounted for more than 95%. The Chinese Empire no longer had the extreme dependence on foreign scientists, experts and technicians like before, indicating that the Chinese Empire had completely understood Western science and technology, no longer relied on the West, and followed the independent development path of Oriental people.

Since the Chinese Empire had previously completed the construction of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, after years of tracking and testing the service status of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers, the Chinese Empire has already had experience in designing and building large aircraft carriers. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers and the previous Huangshan-class and Emeishan-class aircraft carriers, the advantages continue to be adopted, and the disadvantages are constantly improved, making the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier more reasonable and economical from design to construction.

After reasonable design and optimization, although the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier has reduced the displacement of three to four thousand tons compared with the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, it not only did not reduce the performance of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier, but also greatly improved. The advancement of technology has made the hangar layout of the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier more reasonable and the capacity has also been greatly expanded. The design of the island has not changed much, and it is one floor higher than the island of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier. It is used to install a radar system with a larger power and a longer search range.

After scientific and systematic optimization, the number of carriers of Fanjingshan-class aircraft carriers is slightly larger than that of Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers. They can carry 210 Hellfire fighters. However, the Navy does not intend to continue to produce Hellfire carrier-based aircraft, but is developing carrier-based models of J-10 fighters, preparing to use the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier as the first platform to carry the J-10 carrier-based aircraft (j-10b). Since the size and total volume of J-10 fighters are much larger than that of Hellfire fighters, it can theoretically carry 200 J-10 carrier-based fighters.

The flight deck still uses a right-angle oblique flight deck. In order to cooperate with the J-10 B carrier-based aircraft to fly on board, the hull was lengthened to 326.4 meters, breaking the 300-meter mark for the first time. It became the longest warship in the Chinese Empire and even the world. The ship width reached 39.6 meters, and the draft exceeded 11.3 meters. Among the thousands of military ports in the Chinese Empire, there were less than twenty of them to dock. The huge hull was naturally for the expansion of the flight deck. Therefore, the flight deck was 319.1 meters long and the width reached 82.3 meters, which was as big as three football fields. The take-off deck and landing deck can take-off and land the latest H6n1 bomber of the Imperial Air Force, and its huge combat power is self-evident. It ensures that the Imperial Naval Air Force can also achieve the strategic goal of global strikes.

Regarding the design of the defense capabilities of the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, the designers of the Imperial Navy Shipbuilding Administration have put a lot of effort into improving the defense capabilities of the aircraft carrier. In order to enhance the anti-sinking ability of the aircraft carrier, the Shipbuilding Administration has further optimized the structure of the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, using harder and lighter alloy materials to enhance the strength and sealing of the watertight compartment in the ship. It has designed an automated pressure compartment and closed doors. The doors will automatically close in an emergency, so that sailors will risk their lives to enter the damaged compartment to seal the doors.

In terms of sink resistance, the Fanjingshan class has slightly improved compared to the Wudangshan class. Its armor protection is 270 mm, but 50 mm less than the 320 mm of the Wudangshan class. However, thanks to the advancement of materials technology in the Chinese Empire, the latest SK235 Chinese special steel has increased by 50% compared to the SDO-79 Chinese special steel used in the Wudangshan class aircraft carrier, but its weight is reduced by 15%. Therefore, the use of this new steel by the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier not only saves tonnage and volume, but also improves protection capabilities. The waterline armor can resist non-lethal penetration attacks of 5.6 21-inch black-headed torpedoes (2.3 red-headed torpedoes), and can be hit by two torpedoes at the same time, and can maintain the battleship's balanced driving without sinking.

Due to the existence of the Chinese ASCHEUN Air Defense Cruiser of the Imperial Navy, its powerful air defense firepower brought safety to the fleet. The aircraft carrier and the ASCHEUN Air Defense Cruiser are a pair of natural enemies. For this reason, the Imperial weapon engineers designed and installed the more powerful mk24a3 Vulcan dense array on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier. This latest air defense dense array system is several times stronger than the mk16a1 Vulcan dense array on the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, and has stronger air defense capabilities.

The M24a3 Vulcan dense array has greatly modified the firing layout. Although the 7-bar Gatlin-style gun layout continues to be adopted, with a caliber of 30 mm, the shells used to increase the diameter to 55 times have also become extended ammunition. This was developed to deal with the latest Hellfire B fighter similar to the Imperial Chinese Air Force and the upcoming J-1 Black Hawk fighter. Because the speed of the Black Hawk fighter has reached 766

Kilometers per hour, the speed and effective range of shells fired by the 30mm caliber artillery of the original air defense dense array system are facing insufficient, and the speed of fighter jets in the future will be faster. The visionary Chinese Empire designers will look longer, so the diameter is changed to 55 times, and the shells will be replaced with special extended shell-out armor-piercing shells, with a longer range and shooting height. More gunpowder can be installed to increase the rate of fire. It is used to fight fighter jets with a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour.

The fire rate of the Vulcan dense array mk24a3 type is 3000-4500 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire can be adjusted. Each machine cannon stores 2000 rounds, the maximum range is increased to about 8500 meters, the effective slope distance reaches 4500 meters, the shooting height reaches 4200 meters, and the coverage and coverage distance of the air defense firepower network have been greatly improved.

Although the air defense capability of the dense array has been improved a bit, the ammunition has been lengthened by 20% due to the lengthening of the gun barrel (7 pieces). The entire dense array system has also been completely renovated. The weight of the bucket is more than 1 ton higher than that of mk16a1.

Other countries want to imitate the Chinese Empire's Vulcan dense array air defense system, but they don't know the core secret. None of them has yet to get out of the Gatling machine gun thinking circle. They still use the Gatling machine gun's own pneumatic energy supply design. This weapon that relies on its own aerodynamic energy is not stable. Therefore, although the Gatling machine gun has a rate of firing of 6,000 rounds per minute, the rate of firing reaches 800 rounds per minute, it will in turn affect the bolt automation system. It is inevitable that the jams will appear, which is also the main reason why the Gatling machine gun was quickly replaced by the Maxim machine gun when it became popular.

The Chinese Empire was able to make breakthroughs in this regard thanks to the guidance of Emperor Wang Chenhao. Although Wang Chenhao didn't know how to do it, he told the engineers to provide Gatling machine guns with an external power supply, using motors and high-speed gears to drive the barrel rotation, firing the bolt, and retard the shell. The power of Gatling machine guns can be exerted without relying on the energy drive of the bolt itself. The principle is very simple. After Wang Chenhao's reminder, the Chinese Empire engineers quickly developed the Vulcan dense array system. But even foreign experts didn't understand such a simple principle, but they couldn't do it. They even claimed that the Vulcan dense array system of the Chinese Empire used advanced alien technology, all because they thought it became more and more complicated.

After more than ten years of development, the Chinese Empire has made breakthrough progress in radar technology. Originally, a radar system that could detect targets of 20 kilometers weighed hundreds of tons, and its size was huge and could only be installed on Ming-class battleships ten years ago. But now, the Chinese Empire has made tremendous progress in electronic tube technology, which has greatly reduced the volume and weight of the electronic equipment required for the radar system. The radar system installed on the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier is only 140 tons, and the sea detection range reaches 300 kilometers. It can be found that a thousand-ton class ship has an error of no more than 500 meters and an air detection range of 150 kilometers. Any aircraft can be found with an error of no more than 1,200 meters.

The advancement of radar technology allows the Vulcan dense array system to be installed with air search radar system, while the air defense identification circle of the m24a3 Vulcan dense array system is only 30 kilometers long. Therefore, in order to improve the air defense capability of the dense array, the manual control method was cancelled for the first time and changed to an automated processing system combining human-machine, using the radar system to lock in the air attack enemy aircraft to prevent air defense fire network loopholes caused by visual fatigue or negligence of operators. During the Sino-US war, the air defense forces of the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire used optical sighting instruments to determine the enemy.

When the direction and speed of the aircraft are used, soldiers often suffer from visual fatigue, injury or impact from the war atmosphere due to long-term air combat. Psychological tension leads to negligence. A small negligence can cause loopholes in the air defense fire network, and if enemy planes fly in and drop bombs at this time, the losses caused are immeasurable. Therefore, the Vulcan dense array uses the air radar system to improve defense capabilities is a huge improvement, marking the rise of automatic weapon systems and will gradually become a replacement for manual operation in the future.

The m24a3 Vulcan dense array system with advanced air-to-air radar system is self-evident. However, the navy personnel are still not very relieved. After all, the development speed of the aircraft is too fast, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Vulcan dense array system is sufficient. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, upgrade space was reserved on the drawings. The positions of the 32 Vulcan dense arrays originally carried on the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier were added, and a total of 36 m24a3 Vulcan dense array systems were deployed, and four were reserved for future upgrades.

All 36 Vulcan dense array systems are arranged along the ship island and the flight deck, strengthening the protection of the flight deck, instead of focusing on protecting the ship island. The distribution of up, down, left and right is relatively reasonable, forming a three-dimensional air defense fire network, strengthening the air defense firepower of the aircraft carrier.

The ten dual-mounted 103mm high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire guns originally used by Wudangshan-class aircraft carriers were used to attack small surface ships close to the aircraft carriers. They were also cancelled at this time. Those who protect the aircraft carriers believed to be handed over to the escort guards.

At the same time, threats from underwater are still the preferred defense targets for aircraft carriers. Because the Chinese Empire's Song-class submarines have strong air and developed silent systems. They are basically close to ocean noise, the Navy has added multiple sonar systems and arrays, up to 25 sets, and an underwater towed sonar array, which can strictly prevent the aircraft carrier's anti-submarine blind spots. Because the aircraft carrier is too huge, two catapults used to release deep-water bombs were originally arranged behind the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier, which proved unsatisfactory. Now, three have been added to the Fanjingshan, and the anti-submarine capabilities are strengthened on the prominent platforms under the flight deck in the other three directions of the aircraft carrier.

The improvement of the power system was the fastest development of the Chinese Empire in the decade after the war. Thanks to the increase in merchant ships in the Chinese Empire after the Chinese Empire dominated the world, countries also changed from the previous ordering of ships in Britain to the Chinese Empire, which promoted the tremendous progress of the shipbuilding industry in the Chinese Empire, thus causing the rapid development of the Chinese Empire's ship power system.

The Fanjingshan aircraft carrier is equipped with a steam turbine system driven by the Zhenshan magic weapon of Shanghai Shipbuilding Industry. This system breaks the monopoly of the Parsons turbine system of Parsons Company, a subsidiary of Beiyang Technology Heavy Industry, and takes a different approach to create an advanced power system developed by the Chinese people of the Chinese Empire.

The Fanjingshan aircraft carrier with the xbox-3000 steam turbine system has only 8 boilers, which is more than half less than the Wudangshan-class 20-seat boiler. However, the speed has increased in turn some sets of xbox3000 steam turbine systems, with dual-axis propulsion, and the speed has reached 31 knots, which is one knot faster than the Wudangshan-class aircraft carrier. The space saved has increased several fuel tanks and food refrigeration tanks, making the Fanjingshan-class aircraft carrier's endurance reach 10,000 nautical miles/20 knots, and the self-sufficiency time is as long as six months.

Since only one USS Fanjingshan aircraft carrier was built, the scientific research results of the Chinese Empire in the past ten years after the war were reflected in her. Rather than saying that USS Fanjingshan aircraft carrier is a powerful aircraft carrier, it is more appropriate to say that it is a test ship used by the Imperial Navy to test and test new technologies and equipment.

In terms of electronic equipment, the first priority is naturally the construction of radar systems.

Fanjingshan is equipped with two l-band radars (electromagnetic ** length is 22cm), one is air-to-air search (150 kilometers), and the other is sea-to-sea search (250 kilometers). It is a large-area battlefield search, with low accuracy and only provides intelligence for the highest commander to make strategic deployment. For tactical commanders, they are specially equipped with two s-band radars (wavelength is 10cm), one is air-to-air (120 kilometers) and one is sea-to-sea search (230 kilometers), which can accurately lock ships on the sea surface and aircraft in the air, and can more accurately calculate the opponent's approximate speed, altitude and direction.

This is the main radar system, located at the top of the ship island. There is also an x-band fire control radar system (using 3cm electromagnetic waves), which is mainly used to command the weapon system. It is reflected on the Fanjing Mountain in the semi-automated command of the Vulcan dense array. Later, the Chinese Empire Navy connected the central fire control commander and the main guns at all levels on the main battleship, and was unified in command by the central fire control commander, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the main gun fire.

The progress of radar system is due to the breakthrough in the research of the Chinese Empire in crystal tubes. After a group of experts such as Tesla and others came into contact with the Jiaolong, they began to study the electronic devices on the Jiaolong one after another. Since Wang Chenhao asked them to ensure that the equipment must be removed and installed intact, otherwise they would cut their heads, Tesla and others were very careful.

After years of research, they have benefited a lot. Since Tesla successfully manufactured a crystal tube as big as a grenade, the electronic tube technology has been proven. What is lacking is the technological explosion of the Chinese Empire after the level of process manufacturing. With the rapid economic development, industrial manufacturing capacity has been greatly improved. Coupled with the advancement of material technology, the production and manufacturing of crystal tubes have matured and reduced.

By 1925, the crystal electronic tubes of the Chinese Empire had dropped to the thickness of match sticks, and various circuit-based equipment were gradually reduced. Refrigerators, air conditioners, electric washing machines, etc. were mass-produced on a large scale, and the prices became more and more popular.

But that is not a sign of the rise of the electronics industry. What marked the Chinese imperial electronics industry revolution was the emergence of televisions and image fax machines.

First of all, the TV was invented by Ferro Farnsworth, Veratimir Sforokin and Lee Mingdao, but the TV invented by the three of them was different. Ferro and Sforokin's TV was mechanically scanned TV, while Lee Mingdao's TV was electronic TV.

The Chinese Empire regarded the successful image of the Golden Image of Emperor Guanghua located on Empire Square in a TV public broadcast experiment on October 2, 1925 as a symbol of the birth of TV. He was called the "father of TV".

The release of the first TV was undoubtedly a technological explosion for the whole world. The era of only movies entered the TV era. The TV invented by Dr. Li Mingdao, an electronic engineer of the Chinese Empire, soon in 1927. CCTV of the Chinese Empire took the lead in broadcasting the first TV film "Five Thousand Years of the Chinese Empire". From then on, TV began to change human life, information dissemination and thinking. From then on, human beings began to enter the TV era.

The prototype of the No. 1 A TV invented by Li Mingdao was sent to the Royal Museum of the Chinese Empire for treasure. At the same time, the Imperial Emperor Wang Chenhao also nominated Li Mingdao as a candidate for the Technical Invention Award next year.

In the same year, Li Mingdao invented the No. C TV, costing 8,300 dragon coins. Soon, he put into production line in the newly established TV factory of Beiyang Heavy Industry, becoming the world's first mass-produced TV. Emperor Chenhao of the Chinese Empire personally cut the ribbon for the production line. He named it the Zhonghua brand TV, and since then there has been another luxury product in the world.

With the emergence of TVs, another electronic device shocked the world, that is, the Chinese Empire implemented the color picture fax technology for the first time.

On December 8, 1927, Major Xiao Naiwu of the Imperial CIA in Berlin used a fax aircraft to send the photos of the German Bismarck-class battleship construction scene in the Kiel Shipyard that he had just reconnaissed in the air back to the Beijing Intelligence Bureau Headquarters. The picture quality is very clear. The fax machine used by Naiwu Shao was invented by Dr. Chen Nanhai, an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial I

In fact, fax technology was born as early as the 1840s, thirty years before the invention of the telephone. It was invented by a British inventor named Alexander Bain in 1843. However, fax communication is a relatively slow-growing technology in the field of telecommunications and did not gradually mature until the 1920s.

It is strange about the origin of fax technology. It is not the result of intentionally exploring new communication methods, but derived from the study of electric clocks. In 1842, Alexander Bain, a Scottish man, studied and produced an electrically controlled pendulum structure, with the purpose of forming several clocks connected to synchronize, like the master-slave system of mother-son clocks. During his development, he keenly noticed a phenomenon that the pendulum of each clock in this clock system is at the same opposite position at any moment. The phenomenon caused the inventor to think that if the main pendulum can be used to make it pass through a figure or character composed of electrical contact points in the stroke, then the figure or character will be copied at one or several places of the remote main pendulum at the same time. According to this idea, he added a

The scanning needle plays the role of a brush; plus a clock pushes a "information board", the board has graphics or characters to be transmitted, which are composed of electrical contact points; an electrically sensitive paper is laid on the "information board" at the receiving end. When the pointer scans on the paper, if there is an electric pulse in the pointer, a black dot appears on the paper surface. When the pendulum at the sending end swings, when the pointer touches the contact on the information board, a pulse is emitted. The v-interference board is driven by the clock, slowly moving upwards, causing the pointer to scan on the information board line by line, turning the graphics on the information board into electrical pulses to transmit to the receiving end; the information board at the receiving end also moves slowly under the drive of the clock, thus leaving graphics on the electrically sensitive paper, forming a fax machine with the same graphic as the sending end.

By 1850, another British inventor named Ferbekkar, who greatly improved the structure of the fax machine. He used the "rod and screw" device to replace the improved structure of the clock and pendulum. The working condition was a bit like a lathe. The drum rotated rapidly, and the artwork roll sent by the fax rotated on the drum. The scanning needle slowly advanced along the shaft along the drum axis, and spiral scanning of the graphics on the surface of the drum. A drum-type fax machine has been used for more than a hundred years. In 1865, an Iranian named Abakatz developed a fax machine that can be used in practice based on the principle and structure of the fax machine proposed by Bain and Bekkar. He also took the fax machine to cities such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille in France to conduct fax communication experiments.

People have a wide range of requirements for the transmission of news photos and photographic pictures. Many scientists have devoted themselves to the research of photo fax machines.

Chen Nanhai is one of them. As an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire, he mainly studies communication and fax technology. The starting point and end point of the Imperial Imperial Telecommunications Line in his office building where he is located is the starting point and end point of the Imperial Imperial Telecommunications Line from Beijing to Shanghai, which provides unique conditions for Chen Nanhai's research. Chen Nanhai's dedicated research was allowed by the Imperial Imperial Telecommunications Department and agreed to use this communication line for experiments at night. Chen Nanhai spent seven years studying and experimenting in the basement of the building, and finally made a photo fax machine.

Soon, Chen Nanhai's research was targeted by CIA agents. Considering the military purpose of the fax machine to transmit photos (it is clearer to send information directly with photos), the CIA froze Chen Nanhai's research plan. But soon reached a reconciliation with Chen Nanhai. Chen Nanhai specially developed the world's first portable fax machine for news interviews for CIA agents to facilitate agents to perform tasks and transmit intelligence.

After the war, with the significant improvement of various technologies in the Chinese Empire, especially in the explosive development of the field of photoelectricity, the emergence of crystal tubes solved many problems for Chen Nanhai's research. So Chen Nanhai continued to specialize in photofax technology. He changed pointer contact scanning to photoelectric scanning, which not only greatly improved the quality of fax, but also combined photoelectric scanning and photosensitive plate making to achieve photofax.

In 1925, the long-term peace allowed the CIA of the Empire of China to relax the confidentiality level of fax machines, and Chen Nanbo's latest fax machines were put on the market. The China Empire of China, Hai Telegraph and Telephone Company, purchased its patent rights and quickly developed a high-quality photo fax machine.

In 1926, with the approval of the Chinese Empire Congress, the wired photo fax service across the mainland of the Chinese Empire was officially opened. In the same year, it also opened wireless photo fax service across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans with member states of the Greater China Co-prosperity Circle.

In 1927, Chen Nanhai once again realized technical pictures, and for the first time he used his latest invented fax machine to realize the color transmission of pictures. In fact, he used a color filter to transmit three colors in order of red, green and blue, and then overlapped and synthesized. Although it was cumbersome, as the first color picture fax, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, also recommended him to the China International Baoxing Award Evaluation Committee next year, making him a candidate for the Science and Technology Invention Award.

Of course, there are many instruments that use electronic transistors, and TV sets and color picture fax machines are the most representative. Their appearance shows that the Chinese Empire has matured in electronic transistors, marking the rise of the Chinese Empire's electronic industry.

The great achievements of the Chinese Empire in radar systems are due to the rapid rise of the electronics industry. The original radar system was bloated and the volume and weight were greatly reduced after large-scale use of electronic transistors, which allowed the radar system to be installed on other small and medium-sized warships. Even small-volume weapon systems such as the Vulcan dense array can also be installed on fire control radar systems.

In addition to being installed on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, advanced radar systems are also installed on various main warships of the Chinese Empire.

After the Chinese Emperor's side intercepted the news that the German Navy built the Bismarck-class battleship and the British Navy built the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, although no countermeasures were taken (building super battleships). Preventive measures still need to be prepared.

After ten years of sealing troops, the eight Ming-class battleships, four Yuan-class battleships, four Iowa-class battleships, three North Carolina-class battleships, four Olympia-class battlecruisers and four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers, Yu Guanghua began modernization modifications in the early 28th year as a countermeasure against the British and German navy.

Of course, modernization upgrades and modifications were carried out in secret. The General Staff of the Chinese Empire has not approved the unblocking of these 27 super warships. They must continue to be sealed after the modification is completed, unless the world situation changes. It can only be unblocked one after another when it affects the global hegemony of the Chinese Empire's navy or affects the core interests of the Chinese Empire.

The upgrades of the twenty-seven super battleships mainly include the upgrades of firepower, power and electronic equipment.

In terms of firepower, in addition to the main gun and the secondary guns at all levels, the original anti-aircraft gun positions of the air-to-air anti-aircraft guns are all converted into m24a3 Vulcan dense array air defense system to improve the main ship's own air defense firepower.

The most time-consuming and laborious changes in power are the most time-consuming. There is no big problem with the Ming-class and Yuan-class warships built by the Chinese Empire. They only need to replace a small number of easily worn and corrosive parts. The captured US Navy's Iowa-class battleships and Olympia-class battlecruisers were well protected during the sealing period because they were new ships that had not been in service and the power system was quite good. Therefore, they only need a small amount of troops.

The only thing that needs to be greatly upgraded is three North Carolina-class battleships and four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers captured from the U.S. Navy. They have served in service and participated in Atlantic Airlines. The power system was worn seriously during the battle, so many key components need to be replaced. Since the technical gap between American warships and the Chinese Empire warships is very different, it is difficult to transform.

In terms of electronic equipment, whether it is a warship built by the Chinese Empire or a warship captured from the US Navy, it needs to be upgraded and transformed.

The most important thing is the radar system and the central fire control command system. The radar system is all equipped with the latest advanced battlefield radar. The altimeter radar and fire control radar system are the radar systems on the Fanjingshan aircraft carrier, and the fire control radar system is the fire control radar installed on one end on the main guns at all levels and the Vulcan dense array. The other end is connected to the terminal fire control command system in the central fire control command room.

Although the emergence of the Divine Bow type battleship, warships with unified main gun caliber have played a huge advantage in aviation, before the radar appeared, the central fire control command system and the main gun systems at all levels could only be operated by mechanical means, relying on optical instruments and the report of observers, and then calculated by the calculator, and finally communicated to the central fire control command room, and then issued instructions to the main gun at all levels. The process was extremely complicated and the accuracy was not high, resulting in a long firing cycle and a low hit rate.

However, with the emergence of radar, especially the electronic fluorescent screen equipment of the Chinese Empire, radar has finally become an indispensable and important part of the central fire control system. It can directly achieve unified real-time propagation of data through the fire control radar and the central control room of the artillery terminal. In this way, there is no longer a complicated pre-fire preparation process, which greatly reduces the preparation time of the main gun. At the same time, with fire control radar command, the hit rate will be greatly improved.

The main gun systems of the twenty-seven main battleships are all equipped with artillery control radar systems. These transformation plans make the firepower of the warships stronger, and to a certain extent make the global navies continue to look forward to giant ship artilleryism.
