No, not only him, but everyone on board the ship never thought about it.

Once the speed of the gunboats operated in the past exceeded 25 knots, the bow would rise and fall on the waves, which would affect the torpedo when it entered the water. It would be good if the torpedo fired could be 30% accurate.

Therefore, during actual battles, they would reduce the ship's speed to less than twenty knots to ensure the hit rate.

But as the speed decreases, the danger to oneself increases.

Many times, they fight the enemy desperately at this dangerous speed!

Either bet that the enemy's artillery shells can't hit you, or bet that your own torpedoes will kill you with one hit.

But now, at twenty-eight knots, the bow of the ship is stable, the speed is stable, the torpedo is launched steadily, and the hit is stable!

Simply incredible.

"I understand, comrades, let's continue as per the drill."

The captain had a dark complexion and was wearing tight-fitting white clothes, but he did not waver at all in this rapid speed.

Obviously, this man has become accustomed to the bumps on the ship and is as steady as a rock.

The captain said without looking back, keeping the telescope on his head, staring at the fire in the distance, his expression became different.

If Yang Xiaotao were here, he would be able to recognize that this captain is his cousin Zhang Kangzhan.

"yes!"

The weapons officer glanced at the captain and admired him for being so calm.

He glanced at the first mate on the side again, and shouted at the order, but he didn't leave in a hurry.

The first mate next to him saw it and turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The weapons officer grinned, "Well, didn't we say we wanted to test the combat performance at the highest speed? This ship has not yet reached the highest speed, so I think there is another target ship. How about another try?"

The first mate said nothing after hearing this, but looked at the captain.

"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Kangzhan thought for a moment, but did not refuse, "Yes, but not here."

Then he looked at the surrounding sea area and said, "Our current position has deviated from the patrol sea area. We can't delay any longer and go back quickly."

"Wait until we get to the place and then find a chance to practice."

The first mate nodded after hearing this, and the weapons officer beside him even smiled and nodded.

Zhang Kangzhan looked back again, "However, these torpedoes are precious resources. You have to prepare them for me. Try to get them done in one shot, don't waste them."

"Captain, don't worry, our ship is full of elites, I guarantee that there will be no problem."

The weapons officer smiled, but the first mate on the side snorted coldly, "Hey, you are more energetic now. When we first boarded the ship, who had a sad face and disliked the old ship? Disliked the slow running speed? This or that

Yes, all we need is a boat."

"Who is complaining?"

The weapons officer looked embarrassed, but since there were all acquaintances on the ship, he knew that the first mate was just joking with him, so he touched the back of his head and said.

"Liu Da, please stop talking."

"Isn't that the case that you can't see the mountain without seeing it!"

"Who would have known that this guy would have a new heart, and it would be as stable as a big ship."

The corners of the first mate's mouth also turned up, "Now you know."

"Let me tell you, since the superiors chose us to test this ship, they must have special considerations."

"From now on, stop blowing my beard and staring at me. Just do whatever you ask me to do."

"Don't worry about the rest."

The weapons officer nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "That's right, from now on we will listen and shoot wherever you point."

"But, Liu Da, why did this ship suddenly become so good?"

"You can run so fast but still be so sure. It's a hell of a job."

The first mate showed a confident smile.

"That's of course. In the past, the gunboats we used used two twelve-cylinder diesel engines. Now we use four eight-cylinder diesel engines. As the number increases, the power will naturally increase."

"What's more important is that the weight of this engine is less than that of two engines combined. The power output is even more stable. Do you think it can be worse?"

The weapons officer clapped his hands and said, "Let me tell you, it used to be very loud when running, but this time the sound is half quiet. It turns out that the engine has been changed."

"You know, I'll tell you."

"The new engine used in this ship is the best engine produced in our country, and its performance is better than that of the Northern Alliance."

"real?"

The weapons officer couldn't believe it, "Is it really made in our country?"

If it is domestically produced, it means that if it is used out in the future, it can be replaced.

Unlike in the past, when everyone was too rich and did not dare to damage the engine, they were constrained and often had to think twice.

If these concerns were eliminated, the combat effectiveness would be increased by at least 30%.

"What are you talking about? If it's not made in China, can we test it?"

"I also tell you that not only is this engine made in China, the person who designed the engine is also a relative of our captain."

After hearing what the first mate said, the weapons officer became more interested and stepped forward to inquire.

Zhang Kangzhan on the side looked back at the two of them, "There is still time to chat."

"Get ready to go quickly and summarize the report. Don't worry about the rest."

The weapons officer glanced at the first mate, who was smiling. He knew that this matter had something to do with the captain, and he also understood in his heart why there were so many people in their fleet, and they were the ones looking for the reason.

And given the captain's temper, not only did he not object, he also actively cooperated.

However, this can be regarded as a first-come-first-served approach.

The weapons officer turned to go out, but turned around and shouted, "Captain, we need more engines for such a good engine."

Zhang Kangzhan continued to look at the sea ahead, and the first mate, still smiling, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"Old Zhang, please stop being so nervous."

Hearing this, Zhang Kangzhan looked back at him and reached out to take it. The next second, his face fell down, showing a relaxed expression.

This test put him under a lot of pressure.

It was not just a test of the performance of the ship, but more importantly, the engine used in this ship was proposed by his father, and the person who designed and manufactured it was a relative of his.

Publicly and privately, he hoped that this experiment would be successful.
