Chapter 247: Nuclear submarine will undergo deep-sea testing?
Lin Chenran rubbed his sore eyes vigorously, and locked his eyes tightly on the figure in front of him. After confirming again and again, he couldn't help but feel a wave of panic in his heart - it was really him!
For a moment, Lin Chenran, who could not suppress the excitement in his heart, walked forward quickly, with a slightly trembling voice, and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Huang!"
"Welcome to 704 Shipyard to guide our work."
The old man Huang in front of him is no ordinary person. He is the chief designer of the Yan Kingdom's first generation nuclear submarine, and he is also known as the father of the Yan Kingdom's nuclear submarine.
Lin Chenran never thought that the mysterious and top engineer mentioned by Mr. Zhang before would be Mr. Huang.
At this time, Mr. Huang had a kind and kind smile on his face and responded kindly: "You are the Chen Ran that Mr. Zhang has been praising all the time, right? You are really a formidable person."
“The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the previous.”
After the two sides greeted each other briefly and friendly, Lin Chenran did not dare to show any slightness and quickly led everyone to the conference room.
Along the way, Lin Chenran's mind was spinning rapidly, secretly speculating on the reason why Huang Lao and the others came to the 704 Shipyard this time.
After all, the person standing in front of him is the father of Yanguo's nuclear submarine!
After everyone sat down, before Lin Chenran could ask, Mr. Huang bluntly stated his intention: "This time we came to the 704 Shipyard in the hope that the 704 Shipyard can undertake an important task."

"Design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible."
As soon as these words came out, all the senior executives of 704 Shipyard present were slightly startled, and their brows instantly tightened.
Everyone looked puzzled, obviously very confused by this sudden request.
Why design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible?
When Lin Chenran, who was listening quietly on the side, heard this, it was like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized!
He finally understood why Mr. Huang, or the entire Yan Kingdom Navy, would propose such a special task to their 704 Shipyard - to design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.
Lin Chenran frowned slightly, with a hint of caution and curiosity in his eyes, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Huang, is our country's nuclear submarine going to undergo deep-sea testing?"
"Test its ultimate performance?"
At this time, Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang beside him couldn't help but look at each other. Wherever their eyes met, there was a clear look of surprise.
They really didn't expect that the seemingly young Lin Chenran in front of them would have such keen insight. He could quickly grasp the key to the problem just by relying on the little clues revealed.
Mr. Zhang said with a gratified smile on his face: "You kid, you are not simple! It always surprises people!"
"I didn't expect you to be able to detect clues from such limited information content. I have to admire your extraordinary keen sense of smell."
But the senior executives of 704 Shipyard on the side looked increasingly confused.
Yanguo's first-generation nuclear submarine was successfully delivered to the navy and put into use as early as 1974. A full 13 years have passed.
According to common sense, after such a long period of operation and improvement, the various performances of nuclear submarines should have become stable.
But why is it suddenly required to undergo an extreme deep dive test now?
What kind of unknown secrets are hidden here?
For a time, everyone's hearts were filled with all kinds of questions and speculations, and the whole scene fell into silence.
Afterwards, Mr. Huang coughed lightly and began to explain in detail to everyone.
Although the first-generation nuclear submarine has been delivered to the Navy and put into use.
But none of these nuclear submarines have experienced extreme deep-diving tests.
Yanguo's first-generation nuclear submarines are all deployed in the northern waters.
The situation in the northern seas is very different from that in the south.
The depth of the water there is not like that of the southern sea.
The water depth in the south is bottomless.
The northern waters are relatively shallow. Because of this, it was initially felt that there was no need to test them for extreme deep dives.
Also, the international situation at that time was extremely severe, and the country urgently needed nuclear submarines to deter covetous countries.
I understand everything!
Now, as the international situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, Yanguo's nuclear submarines can no longer just "make small fuss" in the northern waters, but need to carry out activities in all waters.
At this time, the ultimate deep-diving test of the nuclear submarine must be carried out.
In order to ensure the safety of this extreme deep-diving test of a nuclear submarine, it is necessary to have a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible with excellent performance.
Once any unexpected situation occurs, this deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible can quickly and accurately find all the officers and soldiers trapped in the nuclear submarine in the bottomless and dangerous deep sea, and successfully rescue them.
Yanguo's navy must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Ensure the safety of all soldiers.
It is also necessary to establish a belief in the hearts of the soldiers that even if the nuclear submarine loses control and falls into the bottomless sea, the country can rescue them from the deep sea.
After Mr. Huang's explanation, the senior executives of 704 Shipyard suddenly realized.
It turns out that deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles indeed need to be designed, developed and built.
This is related to the safety of all submarine soldiers.
With a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible, submarine soldiers will have a lot less worries and can quickly improve their combat effectiveness.
Submarine soldiers are the hardest working of all the military services.
It is also the most dangerous.
Not only do we have to "battle bayonet" with the enemy, we also have to fight against the bottomless deep sea.
There are deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles, and safety is greatly guaranteed.
Lin Chenran thought for a moment and expressed his inner doubts: "Mr. Zhang, how much of the deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible designed and developed by our 704 Shipyard will be purchased by your navy?"
The development of deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles is very difficult, and the special composite materials used are very strong.
The most important point is that it can withstand the impact of deep water pressure.
The 704 shipyard needs to select very excellent special composite materials. If they are not available in China, they need to research them themselves.
Another point is that China has never designed, developed or manufactured a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible. The 704 Shipyard lifted its pants to cross the river.
Deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles are expensive to build.
A deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible can carry a warship.
"This..."
"Then..."
Mr. Zhang could not give an answer at this time.
According to expectations, the Yanguo Navy can only purchase one to three deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles.
Too many can only be piled up in warehouses to "gather dust" or used for training at sea.
Deep sea exploration and rescue submersibles will only be used in specific circumstances.
Yes, that's when the submarine sinks to the bottom of the sea and needs rescue.
