Chapter 1208 The dragon goes out to sea (second update, please subscribe)
“…our troops stationed in Siam clashed with unidentified armed men in the border area…”
Brief in the news According to reports, it will not have any impact on Nanyang. This is just a border conflict worth mentioning. At most, it will be interpreted by some observers as Nanyang has once again frustrated the ambitions of other countries and maintained regional security in Southeast Asia.
Of course, the more important thing is to maintain the security of Nanyang - Siam, Shan State and Malaya are all Nanyang's security barriers. Nanyang's garrison there is also to protect Nanyang's own security and prevent Penetration from other countries.
Nanyang in 1961 was still as calm and peaceful as in the past.
Then the news that came out on the radio was a reporter's interview with Li Shun, a drug reviewer from the Nanyang Food and Drug Administration.
The reason why Nanyang was able to stay out of the "Thalidomide Incident" that shocked the world last year was entirely because of Li Shun's serious work.
As early as two years ago, the Nanyang Food and Drug Administration received an application for "thalidomide". Li Shun, who was in charge of drug approval at the time, allowed this drug to be marketed and sold to patients without sufficient safety verification. It's irresponsible.
So, he immediately rejected its listing application. Although he was under tremendous pressure from pharmaceutical companies, under the first review responsibility system, he requested pharmaceutical companies several times in the following nearly two years. Provide detailed test reports to prove that it is harmless to the human body.
It was precisely because of Li Shun's "stubbornness" that he was able to single-handedly and adhere to professional ethics and prevent a nationwide tragedy. To this end, at the beginning of the year, His Excellency awarded him the "Outstanding Citizen Award" - an award established to recognize groups and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to society.
Dozens of people receive awards every year. Most of them come from all walks of life and have made outstanding contributions in their industries.
"...My duty tells me that we must be extremely cautious when it comes to issues involving people's safety..."
Listening to the interview on the radio, Zhang, who was driving the car, Yuan parked the car in the parking lot of the shipyard, but he did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he stood next to the car and smoked a cigarette, and then entered the shipyard. After passing the inspection, he got on a traffic vehicle and went to Sailing inside the dock.
When he arrived at the dock, there were military police guarding the dock outside. This was almost a normal thing in Taiping Shipyard. After all, some very high-security ships were built here. After entering the dock with a special pass, , what comes into view is a submarine, to be precise, it is a submarine segment.
Before Zhang Yuan started working, a naval officer came over and said:
"Gong Zhang, how are you? When can I deliver it at the soonest?"
Looking at the person coming, it was Zhao Zhiyang, Major of the Naval Ship Administration Department. Zhang Yuan said:
"The last It’s almost next year, and you should have met Hegong.”
The Hegong mentioned in Zhang Yuan’s mouth is Helmut Walter, who has developed AIP technology, which is an independent technology. Air propulsion system, but that technology is not mature. The famous Type 21 submarine was designed by him, and he is the most authoritative submarine engineer in Nanyang. The "Jiaolong" nuclear submarine was designed by him.
"He Gong means July next year, but..."
Zhao Zhiyang lowered his voice and said:
"We have reliable intelligence showing that the Russian ballistic missile nuclear submarine has been put into service! Therefore, we must also hurry up!"
"We are already hurrying up. "
Zhang Yuan shrugged helplessly and said:
"Last year, your navy expected to build a nuclear submarine capable of carrying ballistic missiles within 24 months. However, at that time, the latest The first Jiaolong-class attack nuclear submarine, the "Jiaolong-class", took 33 months from keel laying to completion, and it seems impossible to come up with an unprecedented ballistic missile nuclear submarine within one year. The Navy always does this. Urging, like urging someone to die,"
"Hey, you still mention this matter,"
Zhao Zhiyang smiled:
"Have you already solved it?"
Yes, it has been solved!
In order to meet the Navy's requirement to build a ballistic missile nuclear submarine as soon as possible, experts from the Naval Ship Engineering Office and Taiping Shipyard conducted research together. After various arguments, Zhang Yuan proposed a The ingenious solution was to make full use of the hull and equipment of the Jiaolong-class nuclear attack submarine, cutting the middle part of the hull between the command module and the reactor compartment of the No. 4 boat "Qinglong" that was being built on the slipway, and inserting a section. A ballistic missile cabin with a length of about 40 meters allows a ballistic missile nuclear submarine to be built in the shortest possible time.
All I can say is...sometimes people are really imaginative. Fortunately, the ship construction in Nanyang adopts the segmented method, otherwise, the submarine would really need to be cut open.
They just walked and chatted, and finally stopped at the newly installed missile cabin. Zhang Yuan looked at the missile cabin and said:
"This is it..."
"Yes, that's it..."
Zhao Zhiyang nodded and said:
"It's really amazing. The missile bay is its largest cabin. In the missile bay, the 16 ballistic missile launchers are arranged vertically in two rows, with 8 in each row. The two decks in the missile bay divide the space into three Layer..."
While describing this missile cabin, Zhao Zhiyang raised the corners of his mouth and said with a bright smile on his face:
"A submarine can carry 16 ballistic missiles. Missiles, each missile can carry a nuclear warhead with a yield of 600,000 tons. Although the yield is a bit lower, the Navy only needs to have 5 such nuclear submarines to deploy them in various sea areas around the world. If anyone issues a warning to us Threat, they can directly counterattack!"
"Threat... this is preemptive strike!"
Zhang Yuan said:
Zhao Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and said:
"Yes, the saying is to strike first, and strike later is controlled by others!" If the war that lasted for more than ten years taught people anything, it is to strike preemptively whenever possible and never allow it. Any country that threatens its homeland is Nanyang's usual "defensive thinking." This is why Nanyang behaves so fiercely on issues such as Malaya and Siam that involve its own security.
The root cause is the fear that other countries will threaten Nanyang's homeland, so even in its nuclear weapons policy, Nanyang adopts a "preemptive strike" strategy - during the Siam crisis, Nanyang It has made its attitude clear to the world - when the country is threatened by nuclear weapons, Nanyang will launch a nuclear counterattack as soon as possible.
This is not a threat!
But the bottom line!
“Nanyang is different from any other country. More than 90 million Nanyang people live in eight major metropolitan areas, and there is no room for hesitation!”
This statement by Zhao Zhiyang, This is the consensus across Nanyang - Nanyang's nuclear counterattack must be fast, accurate and ruthless after all, otherwise the price will be unbearable for Nanyang.
As long as the eight major metropolitan areas are destroyed, Nanyang will be... finished!
Nodding, Zhang Yuan said.
"I know, so we still need larger and more advanced strategic missile nuclear submarines. Just a few of these cannot deter powerful enemies."
As a submarine engineer, Zhang Yuan naturally has his ambitions , he hopes to build larger nuclear submarines, not only for the security of Nanyang, but also to realize personal value.
His idea naturally resonated with Zhao Zhiyang, who deliberately lowered his voice while nodding in agreement.
"Gong Zhang, let me tell you something."
As if he was afraid that others would know, Zhao Zhiyang looked left and right before saying:
"The Jiaolong is going to sea."
"Oh? It's going to sea. It doesn't happen often..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan seemed to realize something. In an instant, He stopped and said:
"Is it performing the same mission as the American Poseidon?"
Zhao Zhiyang did not answer, but said:
"Although our confidentiality levels are the same, there are some things that you need to know roughly. You are the supervising engineer of the Jiaolong... So, you can know these things. Do you think the mission will go smoothly?"
< br>Faced with the inquiry, Zhang Yuan thought for a moment before saying:
“Our nuclear submarine has taken the longest to develop because of the nuclear reactor. The pressurized water reactor it uses is very reliable. I think there should be no Any questions!"
Then he nodded vigorously and said.
“There won’t be any problems.”
……
January 27th.
Navy, "Jiaolong" quietly sailed out of the Truk Naval Base. The "Jiaolong" nuclear submarine is an attack nuclear submarine under the First Fleet of the Nanyang Navy and the first nuclear submarine in Nanyang.
Although it is the first one, it not only uses a highly reliable nuclear reactor, but is also the first nuclear submarine in the world to use a drop-shaped hull. It combines nuclear power with a drop-shaped boat shape, making it The submarine's speed has been greatly increased, a shell-enclosed rudder has been used for the first time, and the layout inside the boat has also been greatly improved. Moreover, it uses N2 type high-yield steel plate, which was further developed by Donghai Iron and Steel Company on the basis of German steel during World War II. Its yield strength is slightly higher than the HY-80 steel developed in the United States during the same period. It relies on the pressure resistance made of N2 steel plate. Shell, its diving depth exceeds 400 meters.
As the world's first high-speed nuclear submarine, it has been the star of the Nanyang Navy since it was launched in 1957 and entered service the following year. With its silence and high speed, it has been used in joint exercises in the Pacific again and again. Sink a friendly aircraft carrier. Because of this, it even got a nickname - "Aircraft Carrier Assassin".
In the past few days, although the Spring Festival is approaching, the officers and soldiers on the "Jiaolong" nuclear submarine have spent a lot of time maintaining and maintaining the nuclear submarine's power system, survival system and life support system.
The medical department conducted physical examinations and psychological tests on all officers and soldiers of the nuclear submarine. Everything seemed to indicate that they were about to carry out a very important mission.
At about 6 o'clock yesterday morning, after the "Jiaolong" nuclear submarine finally left the naval base, what was different from usual was that every corner of the nuclear submarine was filled with various living supplies.
Two hours after the submarine left the base, it immediately began its underwater voyage.
While the officers and soldiers were speculating on what mission they would perform this time, Qi Guotao, the captain of the boat, stood silently in the command cabin. He was an old navy man and he knew very well what he and his subordinates were doing. heavy responsibility.
This does not only mean that the nuclear submarine force that has been established in Nanyang for so long will finally take the crucial first step into the ocean. At the same time, they will also explore unknown sea areas along the way and conduct a large number of experiments during the period.
At eight o'clock in the morning, after the nuclear submarine entered the water, Qi Guotao read out the mobilization order written by the Navy Commander to all crew members. Said:
"... Soldiers, you have been given a high honor. We firmly believe that you will successfully overcome the difficulties and let the flag of Nanyang fly across the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and across all sea areas it passes through. , this will be a historic victory, bless you!”
As this nuclear submarine, which has been given a glorious mission, sails unswervingly towards its goal on the seabed, how many difficulties are waiting for them in the future? How much victory and glory awaits them is still unknown.
