Chapter 280 Second Generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine
Lin Chenran came to a naval base.
The sunlight shines through the clouds, illuminating the neatly arranged various ships and busy figures in the base.
At this moment, a familiar and respectable figure came into his sight - Mr. Huang, the father of Yan State's nuclear submarine, was standing not far away, concentrating on examining the design drawings of a new submarine.
Lin Chenran walked up 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 sincerest respects to this senior who had made great contributions to the country.
When Mr. Huang heard the familiar voice, he immediately looked up, saw Lin Chen, and smiled amiably, saying, "Haha, Lin, you're here!"
"Come closer!"
As he spoke, Mr. Huang waved to Lin Chenran.
Lin Chenran quickly walked to Mr. Huang's side, looking at the drawing that was densely covered with data and lines, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
He asked softly, "Mr. Huang, why did you come here in person? Is there any important task that needs your guidance?"
Suddenly, Lin Chenran slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something, and suddenly realized something and said to himself: "Oh! So that's how it is. No wonder Mr. Zhang just said a few simple words on the phone before and hung up in a hurry. It seems that this matter is related to our Yan country's nuclear submarine!"
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the reason.
As an important component of national strategic weapons, the research and development and manufacturing of nuclear submarines involve many core secrets, and every step must be carried out with extreme caution.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zhang behaves so cautiously, fearing that any news would be leaked.
"That's right, Xiaolin, you are very smart!" Mr. Huang nodded approvingly and continued, "Nuclear submarines are of vital importance to our country's national defense security, so the confidentiality of related work is naturally required to be extremely high."
His tone was serious and solemn, making people feel the heavy responsibility.
Lin Chenran nodded solemnly.
Then, Mr. Huang changed the subject and said excitedly in a calm tone, "Lin, I heard from Mr. Zhang that you want the country's third aircraft carrier to be nuclear-powered?"
"We haven't even seen a domestically-made aircraft carrier yet."
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.
The Yan State Navy gives priority to equipping various warships.
Equipped behind the aircraft carrier.
Mr. Huang on the side smiled helplessly: "Military expenditure has always been a problem for the development of the Yan Kingdom Navy."
There is nothing we can do about this.
Priority should be given to solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.
And let them get rich first!
As for the development of the military, especially the navy, there is no need to rush.
As long as the army's combat effectiveness is not reduced, this is a very safe bet.
The current thinking of the Yan State Army is: prioritize the combat effectiveness of the army, then the air force, and finally the navy.
……
"Mr. Huang, the navy is developing fairly well now. At least there is hope. We have some funds that can be used to purchase warships."
The Yan Kingdom’s navy used to be extremely poor, and it hadn’t added any powerful warships for decades.
And now!
With the increasingly rapid economic development of Yan State and the sale of various weapons and equipment, military expenditures have become slightly more abundant.
This enables the Yan Navy to have the funds to purchase a certain number of warships.
……
Then, Lin Chenran asked directly without hesitation: "Mr. Huang, why did you call me here so hastily and anxiously this time? "
Speaking of nuclear submarines, Lin Chenran has some understanding, but he can't say he is proficient in them.
He only has a little knowledge in this area.
At this time, Mr. Huang also did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I specially asked Mr. Zhang to notify you to come this time. The purpose is very clear. I want to discuss with you the relevant matters related to nuclear submarines."
Mr. Huang paused, then explained solemnly: "Nowadays, the situation in the international community has become increasingly turbulent and unpredictable."
"The performance of the first-generation nuclear submarines we have now is no longer able to meet the growing actual needs of the navy."
"After careful consideration, we decided to immediately launch the plan 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 extremely shocked expression, and his eyes stared straight at Huang Lao, as if to say, "Are you serious?"
After a long while, he finally came to his senses, his body 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 six out of seven things - I know nothing at all!"
Mr. Huang interrupted Lin Chenran's speech directly: "I know your strength, don't hide it in front of me."
Lin Chenran's strength is obvious to all, so Mr. Huang asked Mr. Zhang from the navy to notify him to come to this naval base.
"Forehead?"
"Mr. Huang, aren't you forcing the issue?"
"I can still give you some suggestions on other aspects. Nuclear submarines really involve my blind spots in knowledge!"
Lin Chenran waved his hands helplessly and shook his head.
"No! I have to catch you, this duck."
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Huang took Lin Chenran through many checkpoints with steady steps and arrived at the inconspicuous design building of the base.
After the two entered the building, Mr. Huang led Lin Chenran to his office on the top floor with ease.
After entering the office, Mr. Huang walked to the desk piled with various documents and drawings, bent down and carefully took out a document from the drawer.
When Mr. Huang handed it to Lin Chenran, he could clearly see the big words "Simplified Design Diagram of Yan Country's Second Generation Nuclear Submarine" printed on it.
Seeing these words, Lin Chenran couldn't help but take a breath: "Mr. Huang, this... is this something I can read?"
Nuclear submarines are an important part of a country's national defense force.
It is related to the security and stability of the entire country.
Lin Chenran was well aware of the importance of this matter. He did not dare to easily touch such highly confidential information, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to himself.
However, Mr. Huang nodded with a smile: "You can take a look." "Before this, I have already consulted with my superiors and got approval."
As he spoke, Mr. Huang made a gesture to Lin Chenran, indicating that he should carefully look at the schematic diagram of Yan Country's second-generation nuclear submarine in his hand.
After hearing this, although Lin Chenran still had concerns in his heart, he could only sigh helplessly.
Since his superiors have already agreed, he can only bite the bullet and continue watching.
Through preliminary observation of this simple diagram, Lin Chenran discovered that the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine underwent 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 submarines carried out drastic changes to the original hull - they directly greatly enlarged and lengthened it.
This move was like performing a thorough surgical operation on the nuclear submarine.
After this operation, the appearance of the entire nuclear submarine changed dramatically.
The lines that were once as smooth and natural as flowing water now appear bloated, clumsy and overwhelmed due to excessive enlargement and extension.
It is like a turtle carrying an extremely heavy shell on its back, moving slowly and with difficulty in the water.
The negative impact of such changes cannot be ignored either.
Because the hull becomes too large and too long, it is very likely to cause more water noise when traveling in the water.
These noises are like countless noisy mosquitoes, flying around in the silent underwater world, greatly interfering with the quietness of the submarine itself and significantly increasing the risk of being detected by the enemy's sonar system.
Lin Chenran, who was standing aside and watching quietly, frowned tightly and looked solemn after witnessing this series of events.
Huang Lao, who had been quietly observing the changes in Lin Chenran's expression, was filled with curiosity. Finally, he could no longer suppress it and broke the silence by saying, "Lin, what do you think of this plan? Tell me about it."
Mr. Huang then asked, "Take a closer look and see if there is anything that needs to be changed or adjusted?"
At this moment, Lin Chenran's heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn - 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, the person standing in front of him was the highly respected and experienced Mr. Huang, and he really didn't dare to easily reveal even the slightest dissatisfaction or "disdain".
This really put Lin Chenran in a dilemma and he didn't know what to do.
For a moment, Lin Chenran fell into extreme confusion, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Mr. Huang, who had been observing Lin Chenran's words and expressions, naturally captured Lin Chenran's emotional fluctuations and changes.
I saw Mr. Huang slowly stretched out his hand, gently patted Lin Chenran's shoulder, with a kind smile on his face, comforting and encouraging: "Lin boy, don't be so nervous!"
"Just tell me what you think. Are you afraid that an old man like me will be unreasonable?"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of old stubborn person who is stubborn and won't change his mind."
After hearing what Mr. Huang said, Lin Chenran felt a little relieved, but was still a little nervous.
He asked cautiously in a tentative tone: "Then...then if I tell you, Mr. Huang, you won't be angry, right?"
Mr. Huang laughed heartily and replied, "Haha, of course not! Just speak boldly, I'm listening carefully!"
As he spoke, Mr. Huang picked up a thick notebook from the table, opened a new page, and prepared to record Lin Chenran's opinions and views in detail.
The first thing to say is the appearance design.
"Why do I feel that it is so similar to the Type 091 strategic nuclear submarine the more I look at it?"
"It's like the latter was simply stretched and widened!"
With this doubt in mind, he finally decided to raise it carefully to Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang smiled, 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 even 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 appear too bulky. Once put into use, it will inevitably produce huge and uncontrollable noise during operation."
He paused, then added: "We can't ignore the noise problem of submarine driving just to install ballistic missiles."
For a strategic nuclear submarine, keeping quiet and stealthy is of vital importance.
Only in this way can it become a truly cold-blooded killer lurking in the deep sea, successfully breaking through the enemy's blockades without the enemy noticing, and giving them a fatal blow.
But now the underwater noise has increased suddenly. As soon as it starts, it will probably be detected by the enemy's advanced sonar system and then attacked fiercely.
If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
Lin Chenran obviously disagreed with Huang Lao and others' design and development plan for the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang frowned.
He and the nuclear submarine design and development team really didn't pay attention to this aspect before.
Previously, it was intended to increase the combat effectiveness of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarines.
The launch area for submarine-launched ballistic missiles was deliberately increased.
But after Lin Chenran's reminder, he suddenly realized it.
In order to increase the launch area of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the second-generation strategic nuclear submarines have become very bloated.
Is such a strategic nuclear submarine still a strategic nuclear submarine?
Deep Sea Killer?
It definitely can’t be a strategic nuclear submarine!
It’s definitely not the deep sea killer!
"It's a really big problem and we really hadn't noticed it before."
"I was right to ask Mr. Zhang to ask you to come and participate in the research and development of nuclear submarines."
Mr. Huang praised Lin Chenran and wrote down his thoughts.
They really hadn't thought about this aspect before.
"Mr. Huang, have you noticed that after the second-generation strategic nuclear submarines grew in size, their speed actually decreased? The power output system on the 091 strategic nuclear submarines simply cannot meet the needs of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarines."
According to the design drawings, they did not make any changes to the power output system and still used the original power output system of the 091 strategic nuclear submarine.
This cannot meet the needs at all. After all, the size 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!
