Chapter 400: Oversized Nuclear Fish
Guan Hongru is a technical officer.
Tall and thin, wearing thick eyes. The degree of myopia is estimated to be more than 800 degrees.
As a naval officer, being short-sighted to such an extent and still being able to take charge of his real duties shows that he must be outstanding. After all, the army doesn't raise idlers!
"Hello, Chief Engineer Wang. β
"Assistant Guan, hello. β
Greetings in a proper manner. There is no in-depth communication.
Guan Hongru obviously didn't know Wang Buan's identity. And didn't give him much attention.
Of course, Wang Buan himself will not have the intention of inviting credit.
He's here to solve the problem.
Come forward only when necessary.
If you don't need it, you'll be happy.
If you have time, it's better to chat with Chen Xiangmin. Broaden your horizons.
Director Chen, who has retired, is actually very talkative, and the knowledge in his mind is also very rich. Chatting with him, you can often get to grips with a lot of current specific techniques.
Chen Xiangmin also likes to chat with Wang Buan.
The little one's mind is very flexible. He is also very proficient in scientific research.
The key is that this Wang Buan is still a doer. It's not just talking. It's really possible to make a product. That's the best part.
The emergence of the Rock series engine is a leap.
It freed the Navy Rabbit from its dependence on oil in one fell swoop.
The current Navy Rabbit can greatly reduce fuel reserves and greatly reduce costs.
With the same funds, what can be done now is almost several times greater than before. In the past, most of the money was consumed by fuel costs and something.
In order to save fuel costs, the voyage of warships is carefully planned. Can't exceed the limit.
Now, it's time to go when you need to.
While speaking, Wang Buan saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure: Sheng Huainan. He's actually there.
Sheng Huainan also saw Wang Buan, but deliberately turned his head.
Wang Buan also turned his head unhappily.
Others don't bird him.
He doesn't bird anyone else.
"Come on, you take a look first. β
"Thank you. β
Chen Xiangmin handed Wang Buan a stack of technical information. It is the general situation after the technical transformation.
The Jianzhou ship was replaced with two Panshi 600 engines, with a total output of 60,000 horsepower.
For the Jianzhou ship, which has a full load displacement of only about 2,100 tons, it is simply too much. More than enough.
The original fuel tank, for the time being, has no more use, just used to house a few of them.
In addition to the Jianzhou, two frigates of the same class were also remodeled.
One is the Qinzhou ship and the other is the Weizhou ship.
All are frigates belonging to the 053H2 class. are close to the brink of retirement.
Originally, they were all ready to be decommissioned and handed over to the coast guard. But the appearance of the deep-sea monster has allowed them to resume their combat functions.
After all, offshore patrols, ocean-going escorts, and rescue and rescue all require a lot of warships.
Coastlines are now feeling less secure.
No one knows if the deep-sea monster will suddenly come closer.
For the sake of safety, of course, the tightest monitoring is carried out. I greatly strengthened the cruising intensity.
The coastline of China is so long, and the number of warships needed can be imagined.
The new ships are constantly dumpling, and they cannot meet the needs of rapid expansion in a short period of time.
These seemingly obsolete warships can still play a certain role after being replaced with a new power system.
Anyway, it doesn't take much money to replace the power system, but it's still very cost-effective.
Three frigates, six Panshi 600 engines, six transmission systems, a total cost of less than 50 million yuan. It's simply the price of cabbage.
The key is, save on fuel costs!
In the later stage, the cost of use is almost reduced by more than 85%.
Especially at this special moment, the battleship needs to cruise all the time, 24 hours a day, without stopping for a moment.
If it's a diesel engine or a gas turbine, the cruising cost is high.
Now, all warships in or out of the formation will receive power modifications.
The Jianzhou, Qinzhou, and Weizhou warships were the first batch of ships that had been renovated and were ready for ocean-going testing.
As the initiator of the Rock 600 engine, Wang Bu'an certainly can't be absent.
If there is a problem, the first thing to look for is him.
"You don't deal with Sheng Huainan?" Chen Xiangmin seemed to see something.
"He didn't like me. I don't think he's happy with him, too. Wang Buan said bluntly, "He always wants to do big things." β
"You're right. He's always wanted to make the biggest fish in the world. β
"Yes. β
"I've been doing it for years, and I haven't seen it come out. It costs a lot of money. β
"Didn't anyone stop it?"
"To be fair, we do need a few big fish. β
"Oh. β
"The Pacific Ocean is so vast, there are not a few big fish guarding it, and other people's aircraft carriers go back and forth, and they regard the Pacific Ocean as their own backyard. Come when you want, go when you want. Threaten at our doorstep at every turn. We can only stare dryly. It is estimated that this is also the basic reason why the superior leaders have been looking forward to Sheng Huainan. As long as he can do it, no matter how much money it consumes, it will be worth it. Especially now that there is another deep-sea monster, it makes people panic. This big fish is even more important. β
"Oh. β
Wang Bu'an nodded thoughtfully.
Dare to make a fool of yourself, but it gave Sheng Huainan a bigger bargaining chip?
It's no wonder that others are more and more unhappy with themselves.
Chen Xiangmin babbled on a few things.
It's mostly about nuclear fish.
The conversation box was opened, and the old man was very talkative.
He is also relatively familiar with various materials on nuclear fish. The message is also well-informed.
The appearance of deep-sea monsters has made all countries realize that weapons in the depths of the water are important. In particular, weapons capable of being used in water depths below 1000 meters.
Without this weapon, it would be almost impossible to destroy the monsters of the deep sea.
Surface ships will not be able to detect the monsters of the deep sea at all. There are also no weapons that are strong enough.
Only nuclear fish have the ability to track down this deep-sea monster.
The key is to break through to a depth of less than 1,000 meters. It would be even better if it could reach 1500 meters.
A major country that has been directly harmed has directly allocated $180 billion in special funds to prepare for the study of larger and deeper nuclear fish.
The other party was already far ahead in the field of nuclear fish, and there was no opponent at all. Now that so much research funding has been added, there may be a breakthrough in a short period of time.
Among them, one of the most significant manifestations is that the prices of international titanium alloy and tungsten steel alloy have risen sharply.
Sensitive people can deduce that this is a certain big country hoarding strategic materials.
There is also intelligence that the other side is researching 50,000-ton nuclear fish.
It's a very big fish.
The exact parameters are not yet known.
However, the probability of this being true is very high.
After all, the other party's technological accumulation is very powerful. Bigger and stronger weapons can definitely be developed.
It's just that in the past, one company was dominant, and there was no motivation to improve at all. Relying on the Ohio-class and Seawolf-class alone can already defeat the whole world, is it necessary to develop more advanced nuclear fish?
Not necessarily.
Until the monsters of the deep appeared......
Whether it's Ohio-level or Seawolf-level, in front of the deep-sea monsters, they are all scum!
was slapped by a deep-sea monster before, and it was almost shattered by a sea wolf. This incident deeply shows that in front of the deep-sea monsters, the existing nuclear fish are all weakly exploded.
Larger and stronger nuclear fish must be developed.
The number of large nucleus fish must be large. Wolf pack tactics must be employed.
A nuclear fish may not be an opponent for a monster of the deep sea, so what about ten, a hundred?
With the abundant financial resources and perverted industrial strength of a certain large country, it is not impossible to create a hundred large nuclear fish.
You know, when others were the craziest, in just three or four years, more than 100 aircraft carriers were produced. Its industrial strength can completely beat the world.
Frankly speaking, more than 75% of the world's industrial potential is in someone else's place.
In particular, more than 90% of high-tech industries are dominated by others.
"Some people even proposed to develop 100,000-ton super-large nuclear fish. Chen Xiangmin said in a low voice.
"Oh. Wang Buan nodded. Said not surprised at all.
Others do have such strength.
Before, there was just no need.
Now there is a need, of course, to do it at full speed.
It is estimated that in the near future, there will really be a 100,000-ton nuclear fish. In front of the typhoon, it is also a kindergarten child.
However, in this way, Sheng Huainan's plan ......
I'm afraid that the title of the world's number one will not be available again.
Pity.
It's a shame.
"By the way, have you studied deep-sea monsters?" Chen Xiangmin suddenly asked.
"I? no. Wang Buan shook his head.
"Look into it. Maybe there are benefits. It may happen later. β
"Okay. β
"It's also strange that you didn't have a part in the meeting a few times. Have you been somewhere?"
"Meeting?
"It's all about marine life. There are also representatives of the Navy. I went too. I thought you'd show up. β
"Nope. β
Wang Buan shook his head.
He had never received a similar message.
Maybe it's not necessary.
Maybe it's because you can't reveal your identity.
Besides, he's not a biologist. He's in industry.
It's okay to barely say it's high-tech. But in general, it is still a little more important to engage in manufacturing. Others don't see him as a scientist.
"What's new in the Marine Life Conference?" Wang Bu'an wanted to gossip.
"It's a clichΓ©. Chen Xiangmin shook his head and said, "There is too little information, and no one can say why." β
"Oh. β
"However, most people are convinced that this is no ordinary sea creature. Most likely man-made mechanical creatures. β
"Oh?"
Wang Buan's mind moved slightly.
It seems that others are also very smart, and they immediately grasp the essence of the problem.
It is true that the Great Sphere is not a sea creature.
It's simply a collection of machines. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a mechanical creature.
Now that it's determined to be a mechanical creature, it has quite a few characteristics. For example, how it's made. Its construction. It's running. Its advantages: It's flawed. And so on.
Once someone catches the defect of a mechanical creature, then there is a possibility that it will be defeated in one fell swoop.
Wang Buan didn't dare to take it lightly.
In the future, the operation of the big round ball must be more careful.
You know, even the technological products of Transformers are not completely flawless.
Once someone catches the flaw, it can be dangerous.
