Chapter 90: There Must Be a Conspiracy Here!
After the negotiation, Chen Xu was finally relieved, this negotiation was not as difficult as he imagined, just a little simple psychological warfare, and the negotiation was smooth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The United States is willing to give, China is willing to ask, the two sides hit it off, and it is difficult for the negotiations to go smoothly.
After the meeting ended, Chen Xu hid, and he didn't want to participate in the later drinking party. I believe that with the presence of the old chief, he will be able to entertain the US negotiating team well, so he will not join in the fun.
The elder Bush was particularly interested in Chen Xu and hoped to have a good talk with this young man. The old chief also sent someone to find him, hoping that he could go to the banquet hall to chat with the elder Bush about family life, but Chen Xu refused on the grounds of diarrhea, he just wanted to stay quietly in his room at this time and lie on the bed and sleep well.
The U.S. delegation will have to stay in China for a long time, and they will have to wait for news from inside the U.S. to revise the content of the talks, which involves a shift in international political power and will affect the whole body. Members of the United States delegation must personally inspect each treaty before they can leave, and any negligence will be a source of future disagreement.
For the next two months, the US delegation stayed at the submarine base, and every day there would be a special person with the revised negotiation agreement and a special plane running back and forth between China and the United States.
It's not that the two countries don't have more advanced means of communication, but it's about Alpha-class nuclear submarines, and both sides are worried that the Soviets will intercept the communication signal, so it is safest to use human flesh to transmit the treaty message.
The changes in the base these days are significant, the United States has sent the top submarine designers to the base, which also means that what was agreed at the negotiating table a few days ago has been recognized at the top of the United States, otherwise China would not have allowed American technicians to enter China.
Submarine designers were only the first to visit the site, and after a simple inspection and mapping of the Alpha-class nuclear submarine, they confirmed how many manpower were needed, what instruments and equipment were needed, and so on.
The efficiency was very fast, and then the United States sent a team of several hundred people drove over, and the two cargo ships that came with the group also stopped at the port next to the base, and all kinds of advanced instruments and equipment on them were continuously moved down. Looking at these advanced modern instruments, the saliva of Chinese experts is watering.
These instruments are used for submarine surveying, mapping, and research. In particular, it is possible to analyze and decode the electronic communication system on the submarine, and then decipher.
In short, American experts, together with Chinese submarine experts, will disassemble the entire Alpha-class nuclear submarine into parts and finally turn it into a design drawing.
The dismantling process is very dangerous, after all, this is a nuclear submarine, and if there is a nuclear leak, the danger will not be less than Chernobyl.
The key is that it is still very expensive to dismantle, but fortunately, the money is paid by the United States, and the Chinese side does not have to worry about it
When the submarine was dismantled, whether to stop the nuclear submarine became the focus of a dispute between scientists on both sides. After studying the Alpha nuclear reactor, experts in nuclear technology sent by the United States believed that the equipment was too dangerous and that the operation of this liquid metal reactor was not stable at all. Once it fails, all the people around it will die without a place to bury.
The US side's opinion is to immediately stop the reactor and remove the core to ensure the safety of the construction personnel on site.
However, the Chinese experts were reluctant, this is the world's most advanced ultra-small liquid metal reactor, and the liquid metal in the cooling pipes of the reactor will soon solidify as soon as it is stopped, and the entire reactor will be scrapped.
The role of a nuclear reactor is the same as that of a coal stove, boiling water, with the only difference being that the former can be burned for decades at a time with nuclear fuel.
During the working process, the reactor generates heat energy to boil the pure water, and the high-temperature steam produced is driven down the pipe to drive the steam turbine to rotate.
The rotor of the steam turbine rotates at high speed, which in turn drives the generator to provide energy to the submarine.
None of the above is the point, China has long mastered the above technology.
The key is that after the high-temperature steam passes through the steam turbine, it will be introduced into the condenser, and then return to the reactor after the steam has cooled.
The pure water in the 'primary circuit' is radiated in long-term contact with the reactor and is a waste liquid! Be careful with your handling.
There is also a secondary circuit inside the condenser, which cools the high-temperature steam in the primary circuit by introducing seawater. The seawater in the secondary circuit is radiation-free and can be discharged quickly without pollution.
The first circuit of the Alpha-class nuclear submarine replaces pure water with a lead-bismuth liquid alloy, which is liquid like mercury, but must be kept at a certain temperature at all times to avoid solidification, which is good for the submarine as a coolant.
The main source of noise of nuclear submarines is actually the condenser, especially when the Alpha-class nuclear submarine is sailing at a high speed of 40 knots underwater, the reactor also needs to operate at high power, and the condenser has to desperately pump seawater to cool the coolant in the primary circuit.
To put it bluntly, the condenser is a pumping machine, pumping tons and tons of seawater into the submarine, and the noise is very pleasant when it is working. It is conceivable that when the pumping machine is working at maximum power, the loud noise can be detected by the US military's sonar system thousands of nautical miles away.
China's first-generation nuclear submarine reactors are not only large and small, but also the noise reduction technology of the condenser is not up to par. Or that the craftsmanship is not up to par, resulting in a lot of noise, and the US military in Guam can detect it after going to sea.
Although the noise reduction technology of the Soviets is not good, it is much more advanced than the domestic one, so the domestic nuclear reactor makers want to take out the reactor as a whole, not only to study the noise reduction technology in the condenser, but also to obtain all the detailed data in the entire reactor, so as to facilitate the copycat.
However, the alpha-class nuclear reactor is liquid metal, and the liquid metal solidifies in the first circuit as soon as the reactor is stopped, and these liquid metals are radiated, and after solidification, the entire circulation pipeline has to be dismantled and sealed, and there is no way to study it.
Therefore, domestic experts want to take out the reactor, and then find a way to transfer the liquid metal inside without stopping the reactor to obtain an intact reactor.
Because only a good reactor can extract the most complete technology, in the eyes of Chinese researchers, life is nothing, technology is the most important!
In the face of the paranoia of Chinese experts, American experts can really only go crazy.
In the end, the American experts could not bear it, and in order to reduce the amount of work, they quietly told the Chinese experts about the noise reduction technology of the American nuclear reactor condenser, and used the world's most advanced submarine noise reduction technology in exchange for the opportunity to stop the reactor and dismantle the reactor.
It has to be said that the pursuit of science by these technologists is quite simple, science and technology have no borders, and the political constraints are not serious. Experts from China and the United States have worked together and exchanged ideas with each other, and both sides have benefited a lot, especially the Chinese technicians have learned a lot of important nuclear submarine technology, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Chen Xu is also a high-level official in the submarine base, and he can call the shots on the issue of nuclear submarines, and he also believes that the safety of the on-site staff is the most important, and he can't risk his life because he is reluctant.
In the end, he listened to the advice of the American technicians, personally went to the submarine operation room, and stopped the nuclear reactor.
After the nuclear reactor stopped working, the Alpha-class nuclear submarine had nothing to do with Chen Xu, and the rest was all reverse research work, all the work on details, and it could not be completed in a few years.
With the completion of the negotiations, the US military has delivered a batch of weapons and equipment ahead of schedule to appease the top brass of the imperial capital. Of course, this batch of imported weapons is either warships or fighter planes, and no one in China knows how to operate and drive them, and it is necessary to send personnel to the United States to study.
The US imperialists have a lot of money and show the demeanor of a wealthy man, and they have contracted the teaching expenses of all the students, and the Chinese side does not have to spend a penny.
After the dust settled, the US negotiating team said goodbye to the old chief, Chen Xu and other high-level officials of the base, and returned to the United States by special plane. Because George H.W. Bush is about to start his presidential election, Director Turner will retire after that, quit politics and go home to retire.
After the U.S. negotiating team left, Chen Xu was approved by the old chief, and after being away from home for several months, he was finally able to go home!
Chen Xu was like an arrow, but the old chief was worried about Chen Xu's personal safety and did not allow him to take the bus, let alone the plane. When he reaches his level, his every move has a great impact, and he can't go as he wants, and he doesn't even bring a bodyguard.
With Chen Xu's personality, he decisively rejected the bodyguard arranged by the old chief, and his attitude was very resolute. In the end, there was no way, the old chief had to transfer a helicopter from the Air Force, and it was actually a Chinou dry propeller medium-sized transport helicopter.
Chen Xu's jaw dropped in shock at that time, standing on the front lawn of the submarine base and watching the slowly descending Chinook, shouting at the triumphant old leader next to him in the roar of the huge propeller: "How is it possible!" The helicopter project was not involved in the negotiations, even if it was added later, it was only more than two months, and even if the plane was delivered, our pilots could have learned to operate it so quickly, could it be that the American pilots were above? ”
The old chief put his hands behind his back and laughed: "Why do you think it's all under your control, kid! You have obtained a large number of advanced weapons and equipment for the Air Force and Navy, but you have forgotten the Army, even the tiltrotor you introduced is still an experimental product. Do you know that you have offended all the major military districts of the Army at the same time? Several commanders of military regions have personally called me and said that they want to invite you to their military region to be a guest and entertain you, hahaha......"
"Let me carry this pot too? You weren't at the negotiating table at that time, why didn't you remind me! When the old chief said this, Chen Xu suddenly realized that he had really forgotten about the army, and it was really a big mistake not to help the army ask for some tanks, artillery and helicopters.
But this can't be blamed on him, after arranging the navy and air force, the elder Bush is unwilling to provide any free weapons and equipment, and Chen Xu is powerless even if he has the heart to talk. The $30 billion loan was for the government, and many of them had to be used for national construction, and how much to spend on military expenses had to be discussed and arranged by the imperial capital, and Chen Xu could not make his own decisions.
It's a pity that he didn't get good equipment for the army, but those commanders of military districts can't blame him!
There must be a conspiracy in this......
