Chapter 1033 Poseidon Torpedo
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you. They all think there is no problem. The last eyes fell on Wu Shengli.
Wu Shengli was also very satisfied: "Okay, since everyone has no problems, then our meeting can come to a conclusion. I announce that the construction of the 096 nuclear submarine has officially begun, with hull number 410, and will be named Long March 10!"
Generally speaking, it is only officially named when it is launched into the water. At the beginning of the project, it is just an internal project number. However, this 096 nuclear submarine has a hull number and boat name during the construction stage. It is very unusual, indicating that the superiors attach great importance to this nuclear submarine.
However, what made Qin Tao even more curious was the number of this nuclear submarine.
"Our last nuclear submarine was the Long March 8, and there was the Long March 9 in between." Qin Tao was very curious: "Did this nuclear submarine be handed over to a brother unit?"
The last 095 was No. 408, and now it has crossed 409 and directly reached 410, which makes people very curious.
There is no need to play any numbering tricks. There should be such submarines. It is said that Mingzhou Group should have the strongest construction strength now. Is there a competitor?
Wu Shengli smiled.
"Of course, we also need the Long March 9." Wu Shengli said: "Our navy is very satisfied with the 095 submarine, so we decided to order another one, hull number 409, named the Long March 9. Next, your Mingzhou Group will order two Let’s start construction on a nuclear submarine together!”
The nuclear submarines built in the past were all experimental in nature, so they could not build more, just one at a time. But this time, the 095 nuclear submarine made the navy very satisfied, and the navy couldn't wait. After all, when an aircraft carrier formation goes to sea, it must be underwater. Are there one or two nuclear submarines? The old 091 is not good. Its speed cannot keep up with the speed of the aircraft carrier. The 093 is just so-so. There is only one 095. Next, a third aircraft carrier formation is about to appear.
Underwater safety must also be guaranteed, so they have no other choice but to continue building attack nuclear submarines. There will definitely be more than one 095, and they may have to build three more.
The Mingzhou Group's factory specializing in building submarines is so huge that it can start construction on two submarines at the same time. This condition did not exist before. Now, with sufficient national funding, the navy no longer holds the line.
"Really? That's great! We promise to complete the mission!" Qin Tao said.
Kvasa is also very happy. He has been thinking about the follow-up construction of 095. Now that he heard Wu Shengli formally put forward the order, the project has finally been implemented.
095 Such an advanced nuclear submarine must not only have one, but must be built one after another!
“Now, on behalf of the Navy, I officially sign a construction order for two nuclear submarines with Mingzhou Group!”
Qin Tao also walked up excitedly and signed his name on the contract.
Everyone below stood up and applauded, and the leaders on the stage also applauded. Amidst the applause, the construction of two nuclear submarines officially began!
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the project was signed. Everyone was very hungry and went to the canteen to eat.
However, rather than eating, everyone wants to have a few drinks.
Kvasa picked up the wine glass and looked at the table full of leaders.
"Dear leaders, I have to toast you and thank the Navy for giving me this opportunity. I not only designed the world's most advanced attack nuclear submarine, but also the world's most advanced ballistic missile nuclear submarine! I have nothing in my life. It’s a pity.”
“The most advanced in the world? Yes, that’s right! Our 095 and 096 are both the most advanced in the world. Cheers to us, the most advanced nuclear submarine in the world!”
"cheers!"
After three rounds of drinking, he talked too much. Kvasa suddenly thought of something and said: "Everyone, the weapons in the East are very advanced, but there are still some flaws. For example, the weapons used by our submarines are Torpedoes lack something big enough to be powerful.”
big guy?
Everyone was a little curious: "Kvasa, are you talking about Lao Maozi's 650 mm caliber torpedo? We really don't have that kind of big thing, and we don't think we need that kind of big thing. After all, torpedoes can only deal with close range. The warship is enough. If the distance is further, we can use submarine-launched anti-ship missiles to solve the target. Also, looking at it now, submarine-launched cruise missiles are a good solution. Our 096 launcher is enough. It is large and can be converted into a land-attack cruise missile if necessary in the future.”
"No, no, I mean nuclear torpedoes." Kvasa said: "Currently, our only tool for delivering nuclear weapons is ballistic missiles, which is obviously not enough. We should develop more nuclear weapons. Including our torpedoes."
“Poseidon?” Qin Tao suddenly spoke.
This time it was Kvasa's turn to be surprised. He glanced at Qin Tao a few times and then said: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are indeed well-informed. You even know about the developing secret weapons like Damao. In fact, from Red During the imperial period, we were developing underwater nuclear torpedoes. This weapon uses a nuclear power system and the warhead is also a nuclear warhead."
“Nuclear power?” Everyone present was shocked: “You actually use nuclear power to make the torpedo’s power system?”
This is definitely shocking enough. Generally, torpedoes use batteries or heat engines. After so many years of development, they are considered mature. But I have never heard of this nuclear-powered torpedo. The old man is really good enough. He is domineering and wants to use nuclear power for everything.
“Only nuclear power has sufficient range, so that the nuclear submarines in the rear can avoid crises.” Kvasa said.
This is also easy to think of: nuclear submarines are very advanced, but they still cannot stop nuclear explosions, especially in the water. After the nuclear bomb explodes, a huge wave of water will hit the nuclear submarine. It does not need double shells, even if it is a Russian matryoshka doll with ten shells It can't stop the impact of nuclear bombs!
Then you have to stay away from the nuclear explosion area as much as possible!
The maximum speed of a nuclear submarine is thirty knots. If you want to leave the nuclear explosion area, you will have to drive hundreds of nautical miles, which will take more than ten hours. You can tell by calculation that it won't work.
Since nuclear submarines cannot run fast, they can only rely on nuclear torpedoes. Otherwise, they will become suicide weapons like mortar nuclear bombs.
The warhead of a nuclear torpedo is a nuclear bomb, and the power system is also nuclear powered. The biggest advantage of this is that it has a long range.
"Using nuclear power, this torpedo can travel up to tens of thousands of kilometers and reach a maximum speed of 100 knots. That is to say, if it is launched off our coast, it can cross the Pacific Ocean and reach the west coast of the beautiful country. "
“Then what? Attack the aircraft carrier formation? After sailing so far, how to solve the problem of its guidance?”
Everyone is not an outsider, and they quickly thought of the key question: How to guide such a long distance?
"According to the plan of the Red Empire era, this kind of nuclear torpedo has many options. When attacking the enemy's aircraft carrier formation, it can attack the formation in the port. It can also attack the enemy's coast. Once the nuclear bomb carried on it detonates in the sea water , it can trigger a tsunami, and just one can destroy a coastal city on the other side."
Kvasa continued: "If we develop this kind of weapon, our technology will be more advanced. When quantum communication technology is available in the future, we can directly communicate with torpedoes in the deep sea, correct the trajectory, and even change the attack target. I think , the technology for this kind of torpedo is already available, and research and development can begin now.”
"We already have a nuclear power weapon. The size of this thing can continue to be reduced, and it can be stuffed into a torpedo. The power is enough to travel tens of thousands of kilometers. I believe that our relevant domestic departments also have this kind of lightweight nuclear warhead, which can Stuff it into the warhead of the torpedo. During the development process, quantum communication technology has matured and can be installed. In this way, you will have a powerful weapon. Compared with other weapons, its biggest feature is that it will not Expose the traces and kill the enemy invisible!"
Ballistic missiles can also fly this far and faster. Why develop such a weapon? Of course it has its own characteristics, and its biggest characteristic is that it kills the enemy invisible!
Even if it detonates near the enemy's coastline and causes a tsunami to destroy the city, the enemy will not know where this weapon comes from! Ballistic missiles will be discovered as soon as they are launched.
Everyone was deep in thought.
"Taozi, tell us what you think of this weapon?" Wu Shengli said. When everyone couldn't make a choice, he asked Qin Tao for his opinion. Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, I remember a sentence that was well analyzed. Lao Maozi has always been preparing for a nuclear war, but the Americans have never planned to actually fight a nuclear war."
Why is Lao Maozi's electronic system so backward? Don't they have advanced chips? Of course not, Lao Maozi's chips are not lagging behind. They are only two or three years behind the United States. However, Lao Maozi uses electronic tubes in many weapons because only this kind of thing can withstand the impact of nuclear bombs.
If a nuclear war really breaks out, the advanced and sophisticated electronic weapons of the Americans will be destroyed by the pulse of the nuclear explosion. Next, the Americans will be dumbfounded. Their own weapons can't do anything, but Lao Maozi's weapons can still Use it normally, bulldoze all of Europe, and even land across the sea.
However, the problem is that a nuclear war has never broken out, so the weapons prepared by Lao Maozi for nuclear war have no use! Then the Red Empire collapsed. After that, it was repeatedly defeated by Western equipment because of its unadvanced electronic technology.
Of course Qin Tao had a purpose in saying this.
Now, do we need this Poseidon-like super nuclear torpedo?
That depends on what our purpose is.
If you are serious about preparing for a nuclear war, you will naturally have to follow Lao Maozi's method. However, can a nuclear war really be fought?
The biggest function of nuclear weapons is nuclear deterrence, that is, they are used to threaten others to use them. They are definitely not actually used, and they will be destroyed together when the time comes.
If it is just for deterrence, then there is no doubt that the Poseidon torpedo is meaningless.
The purpose of this thing is to show it off and let the other party know that I have an advanced killer weapon in my hand. If you don't accept it, I will destroy you!
Ballistic missiles are enough, and you can even test-fire one in the range to show off your muscles if necessary.
What about nuclear torpedoes?
This thing is underwater and cannot be seen by others! This thing deliberately hides its traces for fear of being discovered by others. It will not detonate until it is near the target. It does not have to hit directly. As long as it is near the target, it does not matter even ten or twenty kilometers away. A nuclear torpedo with the equivalent of one million tons of TNT will explode. , will cause violent movements of sea water. The churning sea water is the biggest killer weapon, enough to destroy everything.
But, you can’t do this when showing off your muscles. Dumping pollutants into the sea is a bad behavior. Are you deliberately creating pollutants? That absolutely cannot be done.
As a result, nuclear torpedoes are useless.
After hearing Qin Tao's words, Kvasa also reacted, with a wry smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right, we were seriously preparing for a nuclear war, even if it is Up to now, Da Mao is still seriously preparing for a nuclear war."
The reason is also very simple. Mao’s conventional weapons are not as good as those of the West, but it has an advantage in nuclear weapons. In this case, once it encounters a war and cannot win, it will definitely explode nuclear bombs. There is a saying That's very good. Since Da Mao is about to cease to exist, why do we still need the earth?
In the current world situation, it is even more difficult to start a nuclear war. The East still claims not to use nuclear weapons in the first place. This kind of nuclear torpedo is of course meaningless.
“It seems that nuclear torpedoes are useless.” When he said this, Kvasa was a little disappointed.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, underwater nuclear torpedoes are of no use, but what you said reminds me that we can definitely develop an underwater nuclear-powered unmanned submarine!"
Everyone looked over and saw the twinkling light in Qin Tao's eyes, and they already guessed what Qin Tao meant.
We do not develop nuclear torpedoes, but it does not mean that we do not have relevant technologies. We can research similar technologies, but they are only for civilian purposes. In the future, they can be transformed into military uses at any time as needed!
"The underwater world is vast. We have the need to explore the underwater world. We also have specialized underwater vehicles. However, there are still many problems with the human method, especially the power system. There are also many defects. We It is absolutely possible to develop underwater nuclear power devices."
Qin Tao kept talking about his thoughts: "Kvasa is right, we already have nuclear power, we need to further reduce the size and stuff it into a torpedo-sized underwater vehicle, so that we can With an underwater nuclear power system with advanced performance and a endurance of 10,000 kilometers, we can start this project to serve scientific exploration."
With a smile on the big guy's face, Mr. Qin, you really have a lot of skills. No one can compare with your ability to be both responsible and established.
Yes, there is indeed a need to explore underwater, but nuclear power is not necessary. We need to develop underwater unmanned underwater vehicles, which are about the same size as torpedoes. In peacetime, they are unmanned underwater vehicles, but in war times, they are unmanned underwater vehicles. It can transform into a nuclear torpedo.
Warheads are also ready-made, and the technology is available in China. When the time comes, if there is a real threat, they can be modified at any time.
Huge amounts of money will be spent on R&D in the early stage, and all of this R&D is independently funded by Mingzhou Group!
“Okay, our navy fully supports this project!” Wu Shengli said: “Let’s raise our glasses and wish that this kind of project can be developed as soon as possible!”
Everyone raised their glasses.
Underwater unmanned submarines are still nuclear-powered. The research and development of this project began after this banquet. Krasnopolski, the nuclear power expert who came with Kvasa, undoubtedly became Project leader, unlike other projects, the confidentiality of this project is top-notch.
As for funds, Mingzhou Group, which has a monopoly in the industry, will not be short of funds and will give them as much as they want!
This meal took more than two hours to eat. It gets dark early in winter. By the time we finished eating, it was completely dark outside.
Walking on the way home, Wu Shengli was still feeling emotional.
“Taozi, with your Mingzhou Group, our navy can quickly make breakthroughs in various technologies. Your group is simply the blessing of our navy.”
"It should be true. Without a strong motherland, there would be no strong Mingzhou Group. Many of the things we have done now have made some people gnash their teeth with hatred, but they just have no choice. This is of course because behind us is a strong motherland."
As he said this, Xu Zhengyang came over and said, "Mr. Qin, American Hobo has asked to meet for the third time. Do you plan to meet him?"
“Hope? He’s coming to protest?” Wu Shengli reacted.
"Yes, he should have come to protest. After the colonel returned and announced the purchase of a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier from our Mingzhou Group, Hobo asked to see me, but I don't have time, so let him wait." Qin Tao said: "It's not easy for him to see me."
“Mr. Qin, Huo Bo’s attitude this time is very sincere. He said he was not here to protest, but to find a solution to the problem.”
“How to solve the problem?” Qin Tao thought for a while: “Okay, let him come to our office tomorrow.”
Every government agency, factory and enterprise across the country likes to set up an office in the capital. After all, many things have to be handled in the capital. It is also good to have an office here to maintain social relations. And large groups like Mingzhou Group, of course, also have offices in the capital.
Moreover, the office is located in the Huanglou Courtyard, a room facing the street. It used to be a canteen in the compound. Later, the business declined and it was abandoned. Then, the Mingzhou Group rented it and opened it for business. at.
It is not easy to open an office here, even if the place is small!
"Okay, then I'll reply to him." Xu Zhengyang stopped and turned on his phone.
PS: I recommend a good **** friend’s new book "Rebirth Begins with Proposal to the Most Beautiful Educated Youth", written in the late 1970s, with sweet love and warm daily life. If you like chronicles, you can read it. The author's old books have also become popular all over the Internet. They are really powerful.
Also, please vote for the new book "Great Power Industry"! Please give your recommendation votes and monthly votes to the Hero of East China, please beg me!
