Chapter 240: New Weapons

When the experts and professors were studying the feasibility of Peng Huading's flickering plan, he himself had already sailed with the nuclear submarine in the nuclear submarine.

Although all the officers and men of the ship respected him, and few people knew what his identity was as a young man, Peng Huading stayed on the boat very honestly, did not interfere with the commander's command, and rarely even went to the control tower, he spent more time in the engine room, outside the nuclear reactor, and sometimes went to the sonar room to take a look.

Only when the nuclear submarine changes its operating state, such as changing from submersible to floating, or conducting launch training, does he walk into the control tower, experience the commander's command, and understand the process of relevant command information.

He spends most of his day drawing on his computer in the lounge assigned to him. These drawings are naturally drawings of parts and components used to transform nuclear submarines, including parts drawings, assembly drawings, and so on.

Once a set of drawings is drawn, he will ask the communications officer to send them out on the satellite channel of his drawings and send them to Hudong Aviation Machinery Co., Ltd., where experts will review his drawings and arrange for personnel to cut and process them.

It can be said that Peng Huading's 15 days on the nuclear submarine were the busiest 15 days in the nuclear submarine military industrial enterprises, and the higher authorities also set up a high-level coordination group to mobilize the technical forces of the military industry throughout the country to speed up the processing of Peng Huading's designed drawings into real parts.

From the review of drawings to the clapper put into production, from smelting to blanking, from transportation to storage, from processing to testing and ......, there are several sets of people running for each set of processes. An old leader jokingly said: "This is really a big battle, this kind of situation of gathering the strength of the whole country to process a product." It appeared only forty years ago when the atomic bomb was being developed. ”

It can be said that these alarmed people are mainly experts and skilled workers, and the number of them is tens of thousands, and only a country like Huaguo can concentrate so many people in such a short time.

Peng Huading, who was on the nuclear submarine, naturally didn't know this, he was just busy working hard and sending drawings and texts one by one.

After he walked onto the dock in Hudong, he knew what happened during this time from Deng Guohong, who came to greet him, and knew that most of the drawings he designed had become reality.

Peng Huading asked in surprise: "How can it be processed so fast?" These are precision parts, and the materials are very special. ”

Deng Guohong smiled: "Isn't there an Internet slang now." If you have money, you will be capricious. As long as there is money. What's not fast. Besides, isn't there still the repair center and repair system that you provided? The parts we process don't need to be advanced at all, as long as they are of ordinary level, and then let the repair system repair them. The accuracy level was immediately increased by several notches. ”

Peng Huading said: "Except for my restoration center. And the automatic heat treatment production line that I helped the military build before, right? Many parts do not require too high requirements for materials. All it takes is a suitable heat treatment. ”

Deng Guohong said: "Yes, indeed. Now many experts have fallen in love with the automatic heat treatment production line, some people simply pounce on it, and several heat treatment experts have really learned a lot of knowledge. Able to do some simple heat treatment too. They all said it was priceless. ”

Peng Huading lived in Hudong City and led a nuclear submarine design team to modify and design nuclear submarines.

According to the request of the central boss, this refit is not based on the nuclear submarine commanded by Gao Jiantang, but on a sister boat that is under construction and is almost the same as this submarine, and even her shell has undergone a special heat treatment. In addition to the similarity in appearance, this nuclear submarine that was originally the same as that one is completely different.

The reason why it is said that it is only similar in appearance is that the propeller of the new nuclear submarine has been changed, and a special balancer has been added to the conning tower.

It's not that Peng Huading is greedy enough, nor is it the central boss who changes his orders day and night, but because under the questioning and vigorous excavation of nuclear submarine design experts, they have obtained countless new technologies, new methods, new ideas, and new concepts from Peng Huading, and they all feel that these things are extremely valuable, and many ideas and concepts are completely new.

If it weren't for Peng Huading's opposition, believing that it would be a waste to build too many submarines, and there was no need to design new nuclear submarines, they would really want to redesign the nuclear submarine from beginning to end, and design and build a nuclear submarine that far surpasses the technology of the United States' nuclear submarines, at least two generations higher than the nuclear submarines in service in various countries around the world.

The decision not to design and build a brand-new nuclear submarine is not entirely opposed by Peng Huading, but the central boss decided after several meetings, thinking that it is necessary to try out the new technology on this modified submarine, see the test effect, and accumulate experience for the next generation of nuclear submarines in the future.

After all, the cost of nuclear submarines is too high, what if there is immature technology in the new technology, rashly use it in the latest nuclear submarines, and something goes wrong? And according to the predictions of experts, especially Peng Huading, even this modified submarine will be more technical and excellent than the latest American nuclear submarine, isn't it better? It is more understandable to the Americans, and in the future they will be able to accept the reality that our country's nuclear submarine technology is much higher than theirs, at least it will not be so abrupt.

I have to say that the nuclear submarine is a very complex and very large system engineering, although it is only a refit, although the technical elite of the whole country has been mobilized, but this modified submarine still took a full eight months. Peng Huading stayed in Hudong City for almost eight months, only occasionally returning to the capital to see his parents and grandparents, and accompanying his mother back to his hometown to see his grandparents. Five months were spent designing and manufacturing components, two months were spent assembling, and one month was spent outfitting weapons.

This speed is obviously much faster than that of a submarine in general.

Almost every day in Hudong City, he spent more than 12 hours on work, on design, every steel plate, every gear, every pipe, Peng Huading had to personally check.

Even when it was time to install, he also stood aside and watched, watching the technical workers install, and those parts had to satisfy him.

Although it was still early spring at this time, and the sea breeze blowing on the wharf of the military port was extremely cold, Peng Huading, like everyone else, was excited and happy, and did not feel the chill of the sea breeze at all, and climbed onto the nuclear submarine with great interest according to the orders of the commander of the nuclear submarine.

Gao Jiantang, who had rich experience in piloting nuclear submarines, commanded the test nuclear submarine this time, and Deng Guohong followed Peng Huading as a representative of the superior organization.

Seeing Peng Huading come in, Gao Jiantang said happily: "Chief Engineer Peng, the inside of this submarine is much more spacious, every officer and soldier has a small room, and the recreation room can also play table tennis and basketball, which is really good." And the noise is also much smaller than before, you see, the shaking of the floor is so slight that you can't feel it. ”

Peng Huading smiled: "The recreation room is so small that you can still play basketball?" Huh, miniature indoor basketball room, right? ”

Gao Jiantang said with a smile: "This is not an aircraft carrier, it is enough to have such a large entertainment room, which is very different from before." On behalf of all the officers and men of the No. 08 nuclear submarine, I would like to thank you scientists. ”

The nuclear submarine slowly slid out of the dock and quietly entered the ocean, and when the depth of the seabed met the requirements, the nuclear submarine quickly dived, and after diving to a depth of thirty meters, the speed of the submarine became faster and faster.

Peng Huading stood behind Gao Jiantang, staring at the LCD screen showing speed: "30!" 32! 35! 38! 40! 42! ……”

When the speed of the nuclear submarine reached forty-three knots, Gao Jiantang did not accelerate again, but let the submarine stabilize at this speed.

After the speed was constant, he handed over the command to his deputy, turned to Peng Huading and said: "Amazing, amazing, at present, this speed has greatly exceeded the highest record of the American Seawolf-class nuclear submarine and the Russian Skulla-class nuclear submarine." Our Project 08 submarine is now the fastest submarine in the world! ”

Deng Guohong, who was next to him, also said happily: "The speed of some torpedoes in the world is not more than this speed, right?" ”

Gao Jiantang said excitedly: "That's not it. Our torpedoes are usually 45 to 50 knots, and if an enemy torpedo attacks us, we can race against the torpedo and see how it blows us up, hehe. Chief Engineer Peng, according to the technical regulations, our nuclear submarine can run faster, right? Listen, how small the noise is, I estimate that it is more than 60 decibels, much quieter than the average speed of our previous submarine. ”

Although the speed of the submarine is not the main indicator of the advanced or not of the nuclear submarine, it is the most critical escape indicator when the submarine and the submarine chase the battle, and if it can outrun the torpedo, its survivability is increased by at least ten times.

When the news reached the ears of the other officers and soldiers, their faces turned red with joy: Who doesn't want to be more survivable.

The reason why the speed of this submarine can be increased so high is that Peng Huading improved the nuclear reactor, making the power conversion efficiency of the nuclear reactor higher, and he also improved the reducer and the propeller, which greatly increased the driving capacity of the nuclear submarine.

Another reason is that the improvement of nuclear reactors and reducers not only greatly saves space, but also greatly reduces the overall total number of nuclear submarines.

The combination of these two reasons makes it impossible for a nuclear submarine to increase its speed without wanting to.

In fact, Peng Huading also has ways to make the speed of the nuclear submarine faster, such as improving the shape of the shell of the nuclear submarine, improving the mucus secretion system of the shell, and triangular distribution of the propeller to increase the contact area between the blades and the seawater, so as to increase the propulsion more effectively.

However, Peng Huading believes that there is no need to improve so much, and there is no need to show his strength. (To be continued......)
