Chapter 251: Super Sea Dragon
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Ye Quan entered the space and really saw the Sea Dragon, he felt what kind of behemoth this submarine was, the shape design of the Sea Dragon was not a long cylindrical shape, but an irregular oblate circle, even with a bit of spaceship science fiction style, up to 164 meters, 53.5 meters at the widest point, and 41.2 meters at the highest point, which is equivalent to the height of a ten-story building.
With a displacement of up to 36oooo tons, it is 10,000 tons larger than the world's largest Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, and the world's largest aircraft carrier, the "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier of Lijianguo, has a full load displacement of only about 10,000 tons.
In comparison, the artificial "ocean" in the space is insignificant, the deepest place is only more than 400 meters, the wind and waves are calm, and the Sea Dragon is here, and even the most basic sea trials can not be done.
The hull of the Sea Dragon is made of a new type of marine alloy steel called "Deep Blue Alloy-3OO", which has strong characteristics such as anti-magnetism, high strength, high toughness, strong resistance to seawater corrosion, and yield strength of more than 3ooo megapascals.
Why didn't Xinhua build its own aircraft carriers?
Why was it only last year that a second-hand aircraft carrier was refurbished and joined the Navy, is it that the state has no money? Or is the domestic shipbuilding technology not good?
Obviously not, Xinhua has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves since O6, and it is increasing while depreciating, and the annual military expenditure is not much, but with the addition of invisible military spending, it is not small. If you really want to build it, it is enough to make a national donation.
As for shipbuilding technology, Xinhua has already built tankers with a larger displacement than aircraft carriers, which are technically compatible.
It can be said that the technical difficulties in building aircraft carriers in Xinhuaguo are one of the biggest problems in addition to power and catapults.
The hull of the aircraft carrier must withstand the wind and waves above level 9, and the most representative one at present is the HY series of special steel developed by the country, which is regarded as an important strategic material by the government of the country and is not allowed to be exported without authorization.
Steel used in the construction of special ships such as aircraft carriers and submarines. In particular, the steel used for the flight deck of the aircraft carrier has extremely high requirements, which must be resistant to seawater corrosion, anti-magnetic, high temperature resistance, high strength, toughness, weldability, etc., and the yield strength requirements of the material are comparable to nuclear submarines.
And now only a few countries such as Lijian and Rakshasa can produce this kind of high-yield steel. The best quality has to be Lijianguo, and the yield strength can reach 15oo-18oo. Russia can only reach about 12oo, and the rest of the countries are mostly under 6oo. The country can also manufacture special alloy steel with relatively high yield strength, basically around 45o, and the country's submarines and selenium attack ships use special steel produced in the country.
A few years ago, Tianzhu launched a domestic aircraft carrier project, but the company could not get the steel for the aircraft carrier, so the military had to ask for help from the Rakshasa country, and only imported 456 tons of special steel from Russia at a high price, and the entire aircraft carrier needs at least about 20,000 tons of such special steel.
On the other hand, Xinhua Guo. Before the aircraft carrier was put into service, there was no really hard high-yield steel, which can be seen from the degree of China's construction of nuclear submarines, and as a maritime power, even if it can be purchased through imports, it cannot really solve the problem.
Recently, it has been rumored that domestic shipyards are already building new aircraft carriers, which should be a major breakthrough in steel and other aspects.
After the establishment of a steelmaking base and a shipyard. Ye Quan will produce and promote the first generation of this alloy steel, which can be used not only in the manufacture of ships, but also in a wide range of industries such as bridges, construction, chemical industry, transportation and energy.
From the perspective of earthlings, the Sea Dragon really can't be regarded as a mining type. More like a huge underwater arsenal ship, it is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the top ten countries in terms of naval power, a Sea Dragon can wipe out the naval power of any country on the planet.
In fact, from the perspective of the future, the Sea Dragon is indeed an armed mining submarine, and the missiles and torpedoes on the submarine are the most pinnacle technology of the second-level civilization, although the power is large, but the size is very small, even if the ICBM on the ship, its length is only more than four meters, the diameter is less than one meter, which is one-third of the same type of missile, and the submarine area occupied by various weapons is less than one-tenth, and the other areas are mining, separation, refining equipment and storage tanks.
Moreover, the hull of the Sea Dragon has been specially reinforced, and it can dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 6ooo meters, and if it is an attack nuclear submarine, it is really not necessary to reach such a deep seabed.
Such a giant submarine cannot be measured by money, I believe that the vast majority of countries in the world are willing to exchange their entire navy for this submarine, and the reason why Ye Quan gave priority to manufacturing it is also out of many considerations.
In order to supply the universal manufacturing base and the construction of the Jakarta area, the scale of the Oriental Purchasing Company is getting bigger and bigger, and the purchase amount in Xinhua alone is more than one billion yuan every month, money is not a problem for Ye Quan, but many materials are strategic resources, once the purchase is too much, it is easy to attract the pursuit of state agencies, and some things are difficult to buy even if there is money.
Since it was impossible to buy it, Ye Quan simply mined it himself, and the minerals buried in the bottom of the ocean accounted for three-quarters of the world's mineral resources, but almost nothing was opened.
In fact, the Pacific Ocean alone is larger than the total area of the entire Earth's six regions. There is a huge potential for marine mineral development, and almost all the mineral deposits that can be found in the six places can be found in the ocean.
The biggest difficulties encountered in the development of marine minerals are in terms of mining technology and environmental protection, or only the former, but for Ye Quan, with the backing of the spiritual energy space and the universal manufacturing base, neither of which is a problem.
In addition, the birth of the Sea Dragon also means that Ye Quan has one more hole card in his hand, when necessary, the Sea Dragon can appear in any sea area, strike at any ship, the cruise missiles on the ship can attack 1ooo kilometers away from the coast 6, the ICBM named "Comet" can hit any place on the earth, because this is the last resort, Ye Quan does not think that he will be used one day, so each ICBM only has 4 warheads.
Ye Quan asked the Black Dragon Army to buy a small amount of nuclear materials through the black market, after the manufacture of a nuclear fusion reactor has been left, therefore, the "Comet" ICBM on the warhead is actually not a nuclear bomb, but a mass bomb, that is, an antimatter bomb, although the antimatter in each warhead is only 4oo milligrams, but the power is only a little weaker than a nuclear bomb, enough to destroy a small city or a large base, the comet is also called "broom star" or "disaster star" in ancient times in the new country, metaphorically refers to this kind of missile will bring a huge disaster.
Although human scientists have long since discovered antimatter and have captured and manufactured it, due to problems in production, storage, and safety, antimatter weapons that are truly destructive can only be manufactured until at least a third-level civilization, and even a universal manufacturing base is not good.
However, the application of antimatter energy is extremely extensive, only a few tens of milligrams can be used to send human beings to Mars, and a small "drop" can maintain the energy of the whole city of New York all day, if Ye Quan accelerates the process of earth science and technology, it will not take 1o years for human beings to see the dawn.

ps:ps: Although I squeeze time to write a little bit every day, I really pay less attention to the book, and I don't even know when an alliance leader appeared, I am simply ashamed, thank you Brother Tianhai Xiangyun for your generous reward, and thank you for the tolerant readers who are still supporting Ziyun, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival holiday!
