Chapter 850 Nuclear Submarine (Second update, please subscribe)
Dulles is visiting!
Li Guoren’s report made Li Yian frown and said.
"Discuss some topics that are of interest to both parties? Guoren, what do you think Dulles wants to talk about?"
What will Dulles talk about now?
And is it a topic of interest to both parties?
It’s really uncomfortable to feel confused!
It seems that Hydra needs to increase its efforts in the United States... Nanyang's overseas intelligence is now divided into two lines, the Secrecy Bureau and Hydra. Hydra's work is still very effective. , in the past few years, Nanyang has been continuously obtaining intelligence from the United States, Britain and other countries.
But no matter how valuable that information is, there is a certain lag. It takes a lot of trouble to send it to Nanyang. It needs to be sent to Mexico or France by letter first, and then sent to Nanyang through special channels from there. Unless it is extremely important information, half of it will be sent to Nanyang. Months later... If there was an Internet, it would only take a few seconds for the information to be transmitted to Nanyang.
The Internet will change everything!
But now there is none at all. Now there are some things I can only think about.
Once again, Li Yixin was looking forward to the Internet.
"This...a topic of interest to both parties...the current situation in Southeast Asia does not seem to require his personal visit. If it is a European problem, there is no need to come to Nanyang at all, and Dulles If you come here now... is it for the Rockets? "
Almost subconsciously, Li Guoren thought of the Rockets. After all, there are not many reasons for Dulles to come to Nanyang at this time.
The Rockets are likely to be one of them.
"The United States has made two embarrassing mistakes in succession. In this case, they will definitely find a way to launch the rocket as soon as possible. For now, seeking our help is the most effective shortcut."
Listening to Li Guoren analysis, Li Yian said.
"This possibility is very high, but...I am very curious, if he comes to seek cooperation in this area, what kind of gift will he bring?"
Gift!
No matter what time, guests will never come to the door empty-handed. If they have something in mind, they must prepare a fruit basket. The question is, what is Dulles' fruit basket?
...
While Li Yian was thinking about Dulles' gift in his mind, Dulles, who was in transit at the Hawaii Airport, was closing his eyes in the waiting room, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Mr. Secretary, the plane will take off in two hours. There is a hotel next to the airport. You can go there to rest for a while."
Listening to the assistant, Dulles shook his head. said.
"No need, just wait here for a while, Benjamin."
Dulles asked, looking up at the assistant in front of him.
"In your opinion, what will we gain from this trip?"
Benjamin replied.
"Sir, didn't you say that Li is a typical businessman, and he will trade everything that can be traded? So we should get what we want."
Dürer Si nodded and said. "Yes, everyone who knows him knows that Li is a typical businessman, and a very shrewd businessman, but do you know what this means?"
After thinking about it, Benjamin said.
“This means that he will open his mouth!”
Obviously everyone knows what choices a shrewd businessman will make.
“Yes!”
Dulles glanced far away and said in a rather low tone.
"So, if we can't prepare a gift that he can't refuse, then we must be mentally prepared for him to ask for a lot of money!" "Mr. Secretary, we are the United States!"
Benjamin’s tone was full of arrogance, as if he was reminding the Secretary of State.
We are the United States, how dare he ask us for exorbitant prices?
The young man's answer made Dulles laugh, he shook his head and said.
"Yes, it is precisely because we are the United States that he can open his mouth like a lion!"
When shearing wool, of course you have to pick sheep with wool. And the United States is that big fat sheep. And it’s the kind that’s delivered to your door.
How can you not open your mouth like a lion when you encounter such a big fat sheep?
Two hours later, the plane took off again, all the way to Chang'an. After the plane took off, Dulles was still thinking about a question-whether his gift could satisfy Li Yian's appetite.
……
In fact, as we all know, Li Yian has a good appetite.
Every morning, after morning exercise, his food intake is almost equivalent to that of a half-adult. After all, exercise is physical work, whether it is exploring the true meaning of life in the evening or doing morning exercises on the beach in the morning.
After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Li Yian will start his day's work as usual.
Although Li Yian handed over internal affairs to various departments, there were still many things that needed to be dealt with every day. After reading the intelligence briefing, he then read through several documents and dealt with some related matters until he was very busy. At noon, we met with Navy Commander Zou Tongjie, accompanied by two Navy engineers. They first reported on the design of the reactor and nuclear submarine.
"...the pressurized water reactor has been in trial operation for half a year now. Everything is going well, but further verification is needed."
Listening to the engineer's explanation, Li Yian just nodded slightly.
Although he is an outsider in pressurized water reactors used in submarines, he can still give some advice. In fact, more suggestions are about the appearance of the submarine, such as a drop-shaped hull design and anechoic tiles to reduce noise. In short, they are all well-known street goods from another world. But it is certainly groundbreaking in this world.
“...In short, survivability is extremely important for submarines. Whether it is a ballistic missile atomic submarine or an attack submarine, the silent effect is related to their survivability. This must be paid attention to. Further research and improvement.”
In fact, Nanyang’s level is still very high in submarine design. After all, there are a group of German engineers in Nanyang’s shipyards. When it comes to submarine design, Santoku is definitely the industry leader. Leader, in the past few years, those engineers have not been idle and have been perfecting the design of the Type 21 submarine. After these years, Nanyang has long understood the Type 21 submarine and developed the U1 Type submarine based on it. In fact, it is still built in sections from the German Type 21 submarine.
Now, when talking about these new technologies, Li Yian said.
"In fact, we don't have to focus only on nuclear submarines. We can also continue research on conventionally powered submarines and apply the technology of nuclear submarines to conventionally powered submarines, or in other words, use conventionally powered submarines to verify the technology of nuclear submarines..."
Zou Tongjie He quickly agreed.
"What you said is true. The cost of conventionally powered submarines is low, and the cost of being used as a technical test boat will be greatly reduced."
"It is not just a technical test boat."
Li Yian waved his hand and said.
"They can still be used for export. The international market still needs submarines. Although the United States sent a large number of old submarines to its allies after the war, they will be retired in the next few years. At present, the United States will only develop in the future. Nuclear submarines will no longer design and build conventional submarines, so countries without submarine industries have no choice but to find other ways to equip new submarines. "
Looking at Zou Tongjie and the engineers, Li Yi'an said.
“In the future, especially many third world countries will plan to establish submarine forces. Of course, those third world countries with vast ocean areas, such as Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, India, etc., they will also plan to form submarine forces. When they need submarines, they need large and medium-sized submarines with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons and a endurance of more than 6,000 nautical miles. In addition to them, there are also some countries that cannot obtain submarines from the United States or Western European countries due to security reasons. For example, they are South American countries. There are also plans to form a submarine force. In the future, with the economic development of various countries, they will definitely put the establishment of a submarine force on the agenda. In this way, the market will still be very large."
Can this market be huge? Well, in another world, Germany exported as many as 71 of its 209 submarines!
Such successful experience must of course be learned. The export of dozens of submarines can not only bring extremely huge profits, but also promote the development of Nanyang submarine technology.
Thinking of this, Li Yian suggested.
"Although, we will mainly focus on atomic submarines. However, in order to fill this market gap, Nanyang can also develop a similar small submarine specifically for export. It is an export-type submarine."
