Chapter 41: The Idea of a New Weapon

How can Fan Heng not be shocked?

I am engaged in a highly confidential job, even if I am at home, I don't casually talk about the unit, and I don't talk about torpedo weapons in a bad mouth, although everyone in the factory knows what their factory does, but they rarely talk about this matter publicly, how did Fan Wuxian know that he was working on a new type of torpedo?

"Who are you listening to about this?" Fan Heng felt that he had to figure out this matter, if someone leaked the news, he had to let the organization know that there was a corresponding disposal plan, after all, the issue of new torpedoes was highly secret, not for anything else, just to study other people's ready-made things, not to mention how embarrassing it would be if it was passed out.

"What's so hard to guess about this?" Fan Wuxi pursed his lips, very disapproving, "Pingyuan Factory and Tongfeng Company have never had business cooperation, isn't it strange to suddenly come to investigate?" ”

"That's not enough for you to draw that inference, is it?" Of course, Fan Heng didn't believe it.

"Of course there are others." Fan Wuxian laughed, stroked his smooth chin with his small hand and continued, "I know the current situation in the field, gas has always been the leading product, although it is also developing electro-powered torpedoes, but no substantial progress has been made for many years, this is the truth, right?" ”

Fan Heng nodded, this is a fact, and there is no need to hide it, but he is a little ashamed to say it.

"In the first half of this year, China counterattacked Vietnam in self-defense, and at the same time there was a naval battle on the Xisha side, and it is said that the results were good, and then you hurriedly went south to Guangzhou, and also transferred the main technical forces in the factory, what could be the reason?" Fan Wuxian pointed out sharply, "This can only mean one thing, that is, the navy has captured the advanced Soviet-made torpedoes of the Vietnamese!" ”

Fan Heng was speechless for a moment, what Fan Wuxian said, as if he was personally involved, his thinking was meticulous, and his reasoning was so clear that Fan Heng couldn't find the words to refute it at all, with such a monster son, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Just when Fan Heng was full of emotion, Fan Wuxi suddenly began to make a lot of nonsense again, "Actually, it's not me talking about you, although the electro-powered torpedo is good, it was also yesterday's yellow flower, you are so aggressive, you are just playing with other people's leftovers, and there is really no construction surname." ”

"Nonsense!" When Fan Heng heard this, he was furious in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that Fan Wuxian was just a three-year-old child, he would have to repair him hard to relieve his anger, and his chest rose and fell for a long time before he scolded angrily, "What do you know about a little hairy child?!" This is the most advanced torpedo available! Our navy lost two ships to get it, you don't know anything and you have to talk nonsense, pay attention to me in the future, don't talk about this matter casually in front of outsiders, this is a military secret, you know?! ”

Fan Wuxi waved his hand a little bored, "Got it!" You can use this as a baby, and I'll get one out of it better than this! Then he suddenly said to Fan Heng, "Dad, the pen is on your body, no, I'll draw something for you, it's definitely a hundred times stronger than this lightning bolt!" ”

"Little brat, what's the trick again?" Although Fan Heng was a little disdainful, he still attached great importance to Fan Wuxi's son in his heart, and his previous experience was enough to prove that Fan Wuxian was far-sighted in many things, so he took out a hero brand fountain pen from his pocket and handed it to Fan Wuxi, and did not forget to ask, "Do you know how to write?" ”

Fan Wuxian didn't bother to talk to him at all, so he directly took down the traveler's opinion book hanging on the wall of the guest room, pulled two pieces of paper down, and then used Fan Heng's pen to sketch on it, and in a short time, a sketch was completed.

"What is this?" Fan Heng took the drawings and looked at them carefully for a long time, and found that the thing drawn by Fan Wuxian did not look like a torpedo at all, its head was sharp, and there was no tail at the rear end, but there were eight small sprinklers-like devices, and the whole body was a bit like a cone.

After Fan Wuxian finished the sketch, he wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and replied without raising his head, "This is a new torpedo I designed, I call it a blizzard torpedo!" ”

If these words are heard by military fans thirty years later, they will definitely spit hundreds of mouthfuls on Fan Wuxi's face, and they will not let him wipe them dry, this kid casually stole the idea of the Buran torpedo that Russia began to develop more than ten years later, and robbed people's names without moving, it is really shameless!

However, it was obviously impossible for Fan Heng to know this, at this time he was frowning at this time, but Fan Wuxian had already written the explanation, and under the comparison between the two, he gradually saw a little bit of the way.

"You thing, it's a bit like a rocket, it doesn't look like a torpedo at all, can this thing be used underwater?" Fan Heng has been engaged in torpedo assembly for many years, and he is very familiar with various surname energy indicators, and at this time, looking at the blizzard torpedo drawn by Fan Wuxi, he felt a little incredible.

Fan Wuxian did not answer and asked, "What is the speed of the fastest torpedo in the world today?" ”

"Theoretically, it can reach almost sixty knots, and in actual combat, it is fifty knots!" Fan Heng replied without thinking.

"So how fast can our electro-dynamic torpedoes be, if they are developed?" Fan Wuxian asked again.

"It is not impossible to exceed the speed of fifty knots, and it is not impossible to reach sixty knots." Although Fan Heng replied like this, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, there is still a gap between the domestic battery technology and the international top, and the speed of reaching similar products is estimated to be a bit impossible.

But in front of his son, he can't weaken his momentum.

Knots are used in navigation as a unit of speed, and it is customary to use knots to describe the speed of underwater weapons such as ships and torpedoes, which is expressed in knots, one knot is to travel one nautical mile per hour, which is equivalent to 1,852 meters per hour, and fifty knots is about to be more than 90 kilometers per hour, 25 meters per second, which is very fast in the water. Although the torpedoes of the Americans claimed to be able to reach speeds of sixty knots, they had never really fought each other, and no one could say well.

It is important to know that the faster the speed of an object traveling in water, the greater the resistance it will experience, and it is very difficult for a traditional torpedo to reach a speed of fifty knots, not to mention how difficult it is to raise ten knots and twenty knots, and even modern alloy processes can hardly meet the strength requirements of the torpedo shell.

"If this Buran torpedo I designed can increase the speed to two hundred and fifty knots, do you believe it?" Fan Wuxian suddenly asked his father.

"Two hundred and fifty knots?! One hundred and twenty-five meters in a second?! Fan Heng looked at Fan Wuxi with a very serious look, and stammered, "Is your baby crazy, or is your father and I stupid?!" ”;
