Speaking of which, Meng Jianye was actually quite depressed.

I originally thought that Jiang Huaimin, the old man, was a Buddhist scholar who had no desires and no desires, but he didn't think that it was an ordinary thing that couldn't enter the eyes of this old expert at all.

For example, when the German-made SUT heavy torpedo salvaged from Bangladesh was salvaged, Jiang Huaimin just went to the scene to take a look at it, and when he returned to the embassy's residence, he picked up the phone and said the first thing he said to the leader of the Ordnance Research Institute, which almost made the other technicians accompanying him crazy.

"Don't think about the German torpedoes, fooling people, it is still reliable for the American MK-48 to track. ”

If these words are heard by the Germans, they will definitely be able to fight with this old man, let alone the Germans, even the technicians who came with Jiang Huaimin are not angry.

Germany's SUT heavy torpedo is a well-known torpedo in the world, thanks to the all-electric drive, so the most outstanding performance is quiet, so it is also known as the quietest torpedo in the world.

In an underwater military struggle in which the slightest sound can be fatal, the Quiet Torpedo is simply an invincible killer weapon, which can wipe out the enemy at any time and invisibly.

Therefore, when they learned that Bangladesh had captured a complete German-made SUT torpedo, these technicians thought about getting this torpedo back so that they could copy it as soon as possible.

Which Cheng thought of Jiang Huaimin's words, and extinguished their thoughts.

It's no wonder that these technicians are willing.

In this regard, Jiang Huaimin only asked one question, and all the unwilling technicians were dumbfounded: "You have also actually calculated that the maximum speed of the German SUT heavy torpedo is only 35 knots, and what is the speed of the torpedo using Otto II fuel?"

No one answered this question, because they knew very well that a torpedo with Otto II fuel could easily reach a maximum speed of 55 knots, but also had a range more than twice as large as the SUT heavy torpedo of 12 km.

As for the so-called silence, as long as the system is optimized, even if the noise of fuel torpedoes is high, it will not be high.

In a word, a heavy torpedo with Otto II fuel could crush a German SAT heavy torpedo into slag in minutes.

Otherwise, battery-driven torpedoes are good, and the United States and the Soviet Union don't use them, but they work heat-fueled torpedoes, and they won't all be fools.

The United States and the Soviet Union are not stupid, and with such a high military investment, how can they not make a comparison between the two types of powered torpedoes, but no matter what they say verbally or how they write their papers, the fact that the military has always insisted on using heat-fueled torpedoes shows that electrically driven torpedoes are not recognized by the two superpowers.

Don't those technicians understand this?

Of course, they were like a mirror in their hearts, but why did they insist on the German SUT heavy torpedo, which was less performant?

Quite simply, because the domestic fuel in Otto II has encountered a big bottleneck, and there has been no progress for several years.

The heavy torpedoes of the Chinese submarine force are still the old torpedoes of the second generation of the Soviet Union, which not only has backward performance, but also has extremely poor stability of the torpedo itself, and urgently needs a new heavy torpedo to replace it.

Originally, according to the original plan, the relevant research units used the research results obtained from the US-made MK-46 light torpedo obtained in 1978 to apply it to a new generation of heavy torpedoes, so as to solve the "mine shortage" of the submarine force.

However, although the American-made MK-46 light torpedo fishermen fished out of the sea was intact, the fuel in it was exhausted, and there were not many samples left.

As a result, the progress of the new generation of heavy torpedoes in China is very slow.

So this time, Bangladesh captured the German-made SUT heavy torpedo, and these people are like whether they can replace the complex Otto II fuel with this simpler and lower-cost power structure, so that China's submarine forces will no longer make a "mine shortage".

As a senior expert in hydroacoustics, Jiang Huaimin took the lead in researching the underwater acoustic guidance components of the American-made MK-46 light torpedo and began to imitate them.

So he knows a lot about the situation with domestic torpedoes.

I also understand the thoughts of those technicians, but Jiang Huaimin feels that it is not impossible to have electrically driven torpedoes, but at best, it is to solve the problem of whether there is a problem, and what can really make the submarine force exert real combat effectiveness should be the thermally driven torpedoes that apply Otto II fuel.

The reason is very simple, the speed of the electrically driven torpedo cannot exceed 35 knots at all, and this speed cannot even catch up with the high-performance nuclear submarines of the United States and the Soviet Union, so how can it be deterred?

The Otto II fuel torpedo also has a speed of more than 50 knots, which is the only weapon to defend the security of the underwater homeland.

What's more, the relevant domestic units have already begun the development of the Yu-3 torpedo, and this torpedo, like the German-made SUT heavy torpedo, is also an electrically driven torpedo.

If the German-made torpedo has a great technical advantage, the point is that many places are similar to the Yu-3 torpedo, and even slightly inferior in accuracy, so what is the point of imitation?

Regarding Jiang Huaimin's decision, Meng Jianye raised his hands to support it, don't look at the current SUT torpedo relying on the 209 submarine to sell the world, but this thunder is really not good.

In the Anglo-Argentine Battle of the Islands, the Argentine 209 submarine directly broke through the British defensive circle, touched the British aircraft carrier underwater, and directly attacked with SUT torpedoes.

It was thought that this advanced wire-guided torpedo would be able to send the British aircraft carrier to the bottom of the sea with nine out of ten, but the result was that all the torpedoes missed the target.

Indonesia is also a big owner of the torpedo, and it was originally bought back as a treasure with great interest, but it turned out that this thing was a pit goods, how to hit and how to deviate, and the hit rate was so low that it almost didn't make Indonesians cry to death.

In the end, he simply gave all his brains to the pick-up man.

The effect is still how to fight and how to run around, making a small bend that is called a very sour.

Of course, Meng Jianye is also worried about the slow progress of domestic Otto II fuel, but no matter how worried he is, he can't help, after all, Meng Jianye is not good at this kind of partial and cutting-edge field for two lifetimes, but he believes that with the tenacity of domestic scientific researchers, a breakthrough is a matter of time.

Jiang Huaimin also knew that Meng Jianye couldn't help in this regard, so he didn't have much trouble selling Meng Jianye, who hunted the Type 037 submarine everywhere.

It's just that the matter on the torpedo is not difficult for Meng Jianye, but for the propeller, Jiang Huaimin unceremoniously found Meng Jianye, this is not only because of which five-bladed propeller Jiang Lao expert likes, but more importantly, there is a complete set of salvage equipment in the offshore engineering company under the Endeavor Factory where Meng Jianye is located, so Jiang Huaimin is not difficult for Meng Jianye, who else can be difficult?
