Chapter 279 Second Generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine
Lin Chenran came to a certain base of the Navy.
The sun shines through the clouds, reflecting the various ships and busy figures neatly arranged in the base.
At this moment, a familiar and revered figure came into his sight - Huang Laozheng, the father of Yanguo's nuclear submarine, was standing not far away, intently examining the design drawings of a new submarine.
Lin Chenran walked forward quickly, with a warm smile on his face, and said in a loud but polite voice: "Hello, Mr. Huang, I didn't expect to see you here!"
He bowed slightly and paid his most sincere respect to this senior who had made great contributions to the country.
Huang Lao heard the familiar voice, then raised his head, saw Lin Chen and showed an amiable smile, and responded: "Haha, boy Lin, you are here!"
"Come here!"
With that said, Mr. Huang waved to Lin Chenran.
Lin Chenran hurriedly walked to Mr. Huang and looked at the drawing densely covered with data and lines, and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.
He asked softly: "Mr. Huang, why are you here in person? Is there any important task that requires your guidance?"
Suddenly, Lin Chenran seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead suddenly and thought to himself: "Oh! So that's it. No wonder Mr. Zhang just said a few words on the phone before hanging up in a hurry. It seems that This matter is related to our Yan country’s nuclear submarine!”
A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the reason.
As an important part of the country's strategic weapons, nuclear submarines' development and manufacturing involve many core secrets, and every step must be taken with great care.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zhang behaves so cautiously, for fear of leaking any information.
"That's right, Xiaolin, you are very smart!" Mr. Huang nodded approvingly and continued: "Nuclear submarines are vital to our country's national defense security, so the confidentiality of related work is naturally very high."
His tone was serious and solemn, making people feel the heavy responsibility.
Lin Chenran nodded solemnly.
Then, Mr. Huang changed the topic and said excitedly in a calm voice: "Boss Lin, I heard Mr. Zhang say that you want the country's third aircraft carrier to be nuclear powered?"
“We haven’t even seen a domestic aircraft carrier now.”
Lin Chenran replied confidently: "Our 704 Shipyard has complete aircraft carrier technology. As long as the country has funds, we can build it."
We are short of funds now!
There are also various warships in the aircraft carrier formation.
Yanguo's navy gave priority to equipping various warships.
Equipped behind the aircraft carrier.
Mr. Huang on the side smiled helplessly: "Military expenses have been bothering the development of Yanguo's navy."
There is nothing we can do about this.
Priority should be given to solving the problem of food and clothing for the common people.
And let him get rich first!
As for the development of the army, especially the development of the navy, we are not so anxious.
As long as the army's combat effectiveness is ensured not to decline, this is a very good guarantee.
The current thinking of the Yanguo army is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army first, then the air force, and finally the navy.
……
"Huang Lao, the development of the navy is pretty good now. At least there is hope, and part of the funds in hand can be used to purchase warships."
The Yan Kingdom's navy was really poor in the past, and it hadn't added a single powerful warship for decades.
And now!
As Yanguo's economy develops more and more rapidly, and the sale of various weapons and equipment makes military expenditures slightly abundant.
This gave Yanguo's navy the funds to purchase a certain number of warships.
……
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran asked directly without hesitation: "Mr. Huang, why did you call me over in such a hurry and eagerly this time?"
Speaking of nuclear submarines, Lin Chenran had some knowledge, but he could not be said to be proficient.
He only had a slight dabbling in this knowledge.
At this time, Mr. Huang also did not mince words, and said simply and neatly: "I specifically asked Mr. Zhang to inform you this time. The purpose is very clear, that is, I want to discuss matters related to nuclear submarines with you."
< br>
Mr. Huang paused, and then explained with a solemn expression: "Today, the situation in the international community has become increasingly volatile and unpredictable."
"The performance of the first-generation nuclear submarines we currently have cannot meet the growing actual needs of the navy."
"After careful consideration, we decided to start the plan immediately to prepare and carry out the design work of a new generation of nuclear submarines to better adapt to the changing situation and the urgent needs of the navy."
Hearing this, Lin Chenran's face instantly showed an expression of extreme shock. He stared straight at Mr. Huang with his eyes, as if to say, "Are you serious?"
After a while, he finally recovered, his body was trembling slightly, and he stammered: "Mr. Huang, you must be kidding me, right?"
"To be honest, when it comes to the design and development of nuclear submarines, I can say that I know everything about it - I know nothing about it!"
Mr. Huang directly interrupted Lin Chenran's speech: "I know your strength, don't hide it in front of me."
Lin Chenran's strength was obvious to all, so Mr. Huang asked Mr. Zhang of the Navy to inform him to come over to this naval base.
"Uh?"
"Mr. Huang, aren't you trying to catch up?"
"In other aspects, I can give you some suggestions. Nuclear submarines really involve my blind spots in knowledge!"
Lin Chenran waved his hands helplessly and shook his head.
"No! You duck, I have to catch up."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Lao led Lin Chenran through many checkpoints with steady steps and arrived at the inconspicuous design building at the base.
After the two entered the building, Huang Laoqing led Lin Chenran to his office on the top floor in a familiar manner.
Entering the office, Mr. Huang walked to the desk filled with various documents and drawings, bent down and carefully took out a piece of information from the drawer.
When Mr. Huang handed it to Lin Chenran, he saw clearly the words "Yan Guo's second-generation nuclear submarine design sketch" printed on it.
Seeing these words, Lin Chenran couldn't help but take a breath: "Mr. Huang, this...is this something I can see?"
Nuclear submarines are an important part of a country's national defense strength.
It is related to the security and stability of the entire country.
Lin Chenran knew the weight of it, and he really didn't dare to touch such highly confidential things easily, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to himself.
However, Mr. Huang nodded with a smile: "You can see." "Before this, I have asked my superiors for instructions and received approval."
As he spoke, Mr. Huang made a gesture to Lin Chenran, telling him to carefully look at the sketch of Yanguo's second-generation nuclear submarine in his hand.
After hearing this, Lin Chenran still had concerns in his heart, but he could only sigh helplessly.
Since his superiors had already agreed, he could only bite the bullet and continue reading.
Through preliminary observation of this sketch, Lin Chenran discovered that the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine has undergone large-scale upgrades based on the first-generation 091 strategic nuclear submarine.
In order to give this new nuclear submarine the ability to carry more advanced ballistic missiles.
The designers of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine carried out drastic modifications to the original hull - they directly greatly enlarged and lengthened it.
This move is like performing a thorough surgical operation on a nuclear submarine.
After this operation, the appearance of the entire nuclear submarine has undergone tremendous changes.
The lines that were once as smooth and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water now appear a bit bloated, clumsy and overwhelmed due to excessive enlargement and lengthening.
Just like a turtle carrying an extremely heavy shell, it moves forward slowly in the water.
The negative impacts of such changes cannot be ignored either.
Because the hull of the boat becomes too large and long, it can easily cause more water noise when traveling in the water.
These noises are like countless noisy mosquitoes, flying freely in the silent underwater world, greatly interfering with the quietness of the submarine itself, and greatly increasing the risk factor of being detected by the enemy's sonar system.
Lin Chenran, who was standing aside and watching quietly, saw his eyebrows furrowed tightly and his face solemn after witnessing this series of situations.
Mr. Huang, who had been quietly observing the changes in Lin Chenran's expression, felt the curiosity in his heart surge like a tide. Finally, he could no longer suppress it and broke the silence: "Boy Lin, how do you feel about this plan?" How about it? Tell me quickly.”
Mr. Huang then asked: "Look carefully and see if there is anything that needs to be changed or adjusted?"
At this moment, Lin Chenran's heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water - he was up and down, and he was extremely uneasy.
Because in his eyes, the design and development plan of this second-generation strategic nuclear submarine has many problems and can be said to be completely substandard.
However, standing in front of him was Mr. Huang, who was highly respected and experienced. He really did not dare to show even a trace of dissatisfaction or "disgust" easily.
This really put Lin Chenran in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
For a moment, Lin Chenran fell into extreme confusion, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Huang Laozi, who had always been observant of words and expressions, keenly captured the fluctuations and changes in Lin Chenran's emotions.
Mr. Huang slowly stretched out his hand and patted Lin Chenran's shoulder gently. With an amiable smile on his face, he comforted and encouraged: "Boy Lin, don't be so nervous!"
"If you have any ideas, just say so. Are you still afraid that an old man like me will be unreasonable?"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of old fogy who is stubborn and stubborn."
Hearing Mr. Huang's words, Lin Chenran breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little trembling.
He asked cautiously in a slightly tentative tone: "Then... then Mr. Huang, you really won't be angry if I tell you, right?"
Mr. Huang laughed heartily and replied: "Haha, of course not! Just speak boldly, I am listening carefully with my ears perked up!"
With that said, Mr. Huang picked up a thick notebook from the table, opened a new page, and was ready to record Lin Chenran's opinions and views in detail.
The first thing I want to talk about is the appearance design.
"Why do I think it is so similar to the 091 strategic nuclear submarine the more I look at it?"
"It's like the latter is directly stretched and widened!"
With this doubt in mind, he finally decided to raise it to Mr. Huang cautiously.
I saw Mr. Huang smiling, nodded calmly, and admitted generously: "Haha, you really have a unique vision!"
"Yes, this second-generation strategic nuclear submarine is indeed designed and developed on the basis of the 091 strategic nuclear submarine."
After hearing Mr. Huang's personal confirmation, Lin Chenran's doubts not only did not disappear, but became more serious.
He frowned and said worriedly: "Mr. Huang, didn't you and your team consider that this design would have major flaws when you designed it?"
"Such a design may make the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine too bulky. Once put into use, it will inevitably produce huge noise that is difficult to control during travel."
He paused and then added: "We cannot ignore the submarine's driving noise just to be able to install ballistic missiles."
For a strategic nuclear submarine, staying quiet and stealthy is crucial.
Only in this way can it become a truly ruthless killer lurking in the deep sea, successfully breaking through the opponent's numerous blockades without the enemy noticing, and delivering a fatal blow to them.
But now the underwater noise has suddenly increased. As soon as it moves, it may be immediately detected by the enemy's advanced sonar system, and then it will be violently attacked.
In that case, the consequences will be disastrous.
Lin Chenran obviously disapproved of the design and development plan of Huang Lao and others for the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine.
Huang Lao frowned when he heard this.
He and the nuclear submarine design and development team really didn't pay attention to this aspect before.
Previously it was to increase the combat effectiveness of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine.
The launch area for submarine-launched ballistic missiles has been deliberately increased.
But after Lin Chenran's reminder, he suddenly realized.
In order to increase the launch area of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine has become very bloated.
Is such a strategic nuclear submarine still a strategic nuclear submarine?
Still a deep-sea killer
It definitely can’t be a strategic nuclear submarine!
Definitely not the Deep Sea Killer!
"This is a really big problem and we really didn't notice it before."
"I made the right decision to ask Mr. Zhang to call you over to participate in the research and development of nuclear submarines."
Mr. Huang praised Lin Chenran and recorded his thoughts.
They really hadn't thought about this before.
"Huang Lao, have you noticed that after the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine increased in size, its speed actually decreased. The power output system on the 091 strategic nuclear submarine simply cannot meet the needs of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine."
According to the design drawings, they have not changed the power output system and have returned to the original power output system of the 091 strategic nuclear submarine.
This simply cannot meet the demand. After all, the volume has increased. If the original power output system is used again, the speed will definitely be much slower.
Is such a strategic nuclear submarine qualified?
It is definitely unqualified!
