Chapter 280 A strategic nuclear submarine with a speed of only 23.5 knots?
"The speed has dropped too much!"
Compared with the speed of the 091 strategic nuclear submarine, it dropped by a few knots.
For a submarine, even a change in speed of one knot can have a huge impact, let alone such a large drop.
Originally, there was a significant gap in the speed of the 091 strategic nuclear submarine compared with the strategic nuclear submarines of several other major foreign countries.
Now that it encounters such a serious speed drop, its performance disadvantage will undoubtedly be further amplified.
Lin Chenran couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, sighing secretly in his heart.
Previously, Huang Lao did not fully realize the series of chain reactions and potential threats brought about by the decrease in speed.
However, after Lin Chenran's detailed and in-depth analysis and reminder, Mr. Huang finally began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
If this problem cannot be solved in time, it will not only affect the submarine's combat effectiveness, but may even bring catastrophic consequences to the entire mission at a critical moment.
……
The second-generation strategic nuclear submarine actually uses the same power output system as the 091 strategic nuclear submarine.
They are all equipped with the same domestically produced hydraulic reactor and are driven by a single shaft and single propeller.
This hydraulic reactor is outdated and outdated!
Compared with the advanced hydraulic reactors in other countries, especially similar products from countries such as Mao Xiong and Yingjiang, they are simply far behind!
It can be said that there is one sky and one earth!
The speed of Yingjiang and Mao Xiong's strategic nuclear submarines can easily reach 30 knots.
However, Yanguo's 091 strategic nuclear submarine only has 25 knots.
The second-generation strategic nuclear submarine reached 23.5 knots.
Starting to reverse?
Faced with such a difficult situation, Lin Chenran thought for a moment and asked Mr. Huang a key question: "Mr. Huang, do you think there is a feasible solution to upgrade our existing hydraulic reactor? ”
"If its performance can be successfully improved, it may be possible to resolve the root cause of the speed problem faced by the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine."
Lin Chenran said slowly in an extremely calm tone.
Huang Lao, who was standing aside, looked solemn at this time, and he shook his head gently.
In fact, deep down in his heart, why doesn't Mr. Huang not want the power output system of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine to be effectively upgraded and improved?
However, considering the current military industrial capabilities of Yan State, this is obviously a goal that is difficult to achieve.
At this moment, Lin Chenran suddenly smiled slightly, and then said: "Mr. Huang, let's not rush to conclusions so quickly!"
"One person is short-term, many people are short-term."
"I want to have an in-depth understanding of the design principles and related technical structure of the hydraulic reactor independently developed by our country."
After saying that, Lin Chenran looked at Mr. Huang expectantly.
After hearing this, Mr. Huang's whole body was slightly startled, and then he fell into deep contemplation.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about a while, Mr. Huang let out a long sigh.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chenran, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and sighed: "After all, you are the one who has the courage and courage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Huang turned around and walked to the safe again, skillfully entered the password and opened it.
This time, he carefully took out a document from it.
The document exudes an aura of mystery.
It is the schematic design diagram of the domestic hydraulic reactor independently developed by Yanguo, and it seems to carry the efforts and expectations of countless scientific researchers.
This design brief image is a window into unknown territory, and the information revealed inside is like stars.
Although numerous, they are arranged in an orderly manner, which is enough for Lin Chenran to have a general understanding of domestic hydraulic reactors.
Lin Chenran took over the design sketch of the domestic hydraulic reactor from Mr. Huang.
His eyes were instantly attracted, as if tightly attracted by a magnet, and he could no longer look away.
After getting the drawings, Lin Chenran didn't hesitate at all and immediately devoted himself to browsing carefully. His eyes were focused and sharp, not missing any detail.
As the reading progressed, his originally relaxed brows gradually wrinkled, like a volcano about to erupt, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
His heart became heavier and heavier, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making him almost breathless.
Lin Chenran couldn't help but think secretly in his heart: "Too backward!"
Although he had been mentally prepared before that.
We know that there is a gap between domestically produced hydraulic reactors and the international advanced level.
But the facts presented in front of him were still far beyond his imagination, and this huge sense of gap made him feel helpless.
While Lin Chenran was concentrating on studying the design sketch, Mr. Huang standing aside was silently watching every subtle change in expression on his face.
When he saw Lin Chen frowning, Huang Lao's heart suddenly thumped, and an ominous premonition filled his heart.
Time passed by, and finally, Lin Chenran slowly put down the heavy design diagram of a domestic hydraulic reactor in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Huang couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"
There was a hint of urgency in his voice.
It seemed that he wanted to get a definite answer from Lin Chenran.
Lin Chenran sighed and shook his head: "Huang Lao, the design of this domestic hydraulic reactor is too old. After the upgrade, the performance will not be qualitatively improved."
The main reason is that the design and development of domestic hydraulic reactors is too backward.
"This..."
"Then..."
When Mr. Huang heard this, he frowned.
"Although the transformation and upgrading of domestically produced hydraulic reactors has not improved much, I have two options for you to choose from, which can increase the speed of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine."
When Mr. Huang heard this, his eyes glowed with golden light.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Lin Chenran nodded.
Then he stated his two major plans.
The first one is to solve the problem from the root.
That is to redesign a hydraulic reactor to replace the old hydraulic reactor.
Let it become the power output system of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine.
It's more difficult, but Lin Chenran is more confident.
"Can your 077 Machinery Military Factory redesign and develop a hydraulic reactor?"
"Or joint research and development?"
Mr. Huang glanced at Lin Chenran, who wanted to get the answer he wanted from the latter.
"Although our 077 Machinery Arsenal has not designed or developed a hydraulic reactor, we can provide you with the special composite materials you need."
In terms of special composite materials, 077 Machinery Military Factory is far ahead, and is even stronger than foreign countries in some aspects.
After hearing this, Mr. Huang smiled.
