Chapter 722: A blockbuster
With this in mind, he decided to return to Makula this time and gather everyone to discuss the matter.
There is money to be made, and it can bring image benefits to the enterprise, why not?
His affairs are done, and those auxiliary equipment and other things are arranged by Zhang Lao himself.
In order to confirm the stealth performance of unmanned submarines, Xu Ziling asked the warships and submarines of the East China Sea Fleet to turn off the Hawkeye system during the exercise, and use the sonar system that was not dismantled in the previous transformation to find the unmanned submarine under navigation.
The new anechoic tile can perfectly absorb sonar signals, and propeller jetting and other technologies can make the unmanned submarine reduce the noise to about ninety decibels, from the previous test, the general sonar system is absolutely unable to find the nearest unmanned submarine, but when they tested, only a test ship was used to test, and there was no test of the search for large-scale sonar signals.
The Type 094 submarine belongs to the strategic class submarine, and the missiles it carries are all strategic missiles, and in conventional warfare, even if the top of its head turns the sky upside down, it can only watch.
The country's navy has only been established for more than half a century, and it has only been less than 30 years since its real development.
Therefore, among the many types of submarines in China, the main battle submarines that are currently in service in conventional warfare may not be able to fight when they encounter submarines from countries such as the United States and island countries.
In this way, there is a main battle submarine that can reach the international advanced level, which is extremely urgent for the navy.
With Tang Jiannian here, the East China Sea Fleet knows a lot about unmanned submarines, no one is unmanned, they don't care, what they value is combat effectiveness, so when they know the weapon system of the unmanned submarine, they decide to purchase one or two.
The test report is just a report, in their eyes, what they see with their own eyes is the truth, Xu Ziling proposed such a test method, which hit their heart, and immediately agreed, and asked Xu Ziling if the twelve warships they participated in the exercise were enough, and if not, they could transfer a few more anti-submarine helicopters.
This is just a test of the designated sea area, only a few square kilometers, why so much?
Listening to the other party's excitement, Xu Ziling rolled his eyes and rejected their proposal without hesitation.
At the beginning of the exercise, in order to let the people of the East China Sea Fleet personally understand the performance of the unmanned submarine, Xu Ziling also specially allowed a ten-person squad of the fleet to enter the submarine, not because he did not want more people to go down, but because the number of people was limited when the submarine was designed.
There are more than a dozen people in their military factory and the South China Sea Fleet, plus ten in the East China Sea Fleet, which is completely the largest manned capacity of the submarine.
On the first day, it was to test the stealth performance.
In the specified sea area, the submarine was tested again and again at various depths and speeds, and the test time alone took a whole day.
As if hiding and seeking, the whole fleet was busy for a day, but no one complained, because they knew that this was testing a new type of submarine.
Such a submarine may be their fleet in the future, the more powerful it is, the higher the combat effectiveness of their fleet in the future, and they will calculate such an account, so how can they be discouraged because they haven't found it.
The next day, the submarine did not test again, but took part in the tactical exercises of the fleet.
They are all equipped with an "information sharing platform," and there is no problem of communication obstacles at all, and the people who control the submarines on the Jiangnan Plant's side are all technical personnel, not soldiers, and of course they do not understand tactics and tactics. Fortunately, there was a fleet commander who gave them orders alone, to the left, to the right, to ascend, to dive, and they only had to do it.
After two days of training, the highlight finally arrived.
Live-fire drills!
In the past, the number of live-fire exercises conducted by the domestic navy was not very large, but in the past two years, there have been more and more live-fire exercises and live-fire exercises.
Some people say, since there is a benefit, why not hold such a mission for the sake of Lang?
For what? Because once a live-fire operation, the cost is huge, a country is the richest, and if you don't have anything to do with the navy every day, it will not take a few years to drag the country down.
It's easy to say that the army shoots targets, and a bullet is only a few cents, but what about the navy? It was really a cannon shot, ten thousand taels of gold. It's just that this gold is not coming in, but out.
Before the new type of ship came out, Xu Ziling and Yang Kaiming had already calculated it when they were bored, on the warship, in addition to the guns used by the navy's special operations team, the weapons on the warship, the cheapest unit price to use is the close defense system, 30mm ordinary shells, the cost of one is not more than 100.
It's just that although this guy says that the unit price is the cheapest, but when it is fully activated, it is also a big money-eater, because it can launch a runway of 5,000 rounds in a minute, even if it costs 50 yuan a piece, it will be tens of thousands in a minute.
As for the main guns, or missiles, that's not to mention.
The main gun is okay, and the 76mm main gun shells equipped with auxiliary ships such as frigates are only about a thousand each, but what about missiles? Like destroyers, the smallest missiles, each in 100,000, and the largest, such as cruise missiles, are in the millions.
It can be seen from this that live-fire drills and drills are completely acts of burning money.
Coupled with the loss of equipment, supplies, and so on, after an exercise, as long as one or two more missiles are fired, perhaps the cost this time will be tens of millions.
Therefore, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary small countries can play.
Even if it is a big country, it is impossible to play with missiles without trouble.
The first weapon test of the submarine, and these weapons are all brand new models, Xu Ziling did not consider the cost, whether it is a torpedo or a variety of missiles, when preparing before, people put five anti-ship missiles and ground attack missiles each, and torpedoes, a full sixteen, eight torpedo launchers, each of which has two opportunities to launch.
With these, he believes that it is enough to be able to exert the combat effectiveness of the submarine.
The East China Sea Fleet's exercise was mainly aimed at the possible future battle to seize the island, but as soon as Xu Ziling's submarine participated, the protagonist became a submarine, and their live-fire drill became dispensable.
As soon as the time for the exercise arrived, the fleet command center and Xu Ziling were remotely connected to the control room on their side, and the chief person in charge of the exercise, Rear Admiral Mo Kaihua of the East China Sea Fleet, told Xu Ziling that today's drill was mainly based on submarines, and their fleet would fully cooperate.
Xu Ziling had never seen Mo Kaihua before, but he still knew about him, after a few days of contact, there was a trace of familiarity, and when he heard Mo Kaihua's words, he said with a smile: "Then are we a little bit of a war to seize the master?" ”
"That's not all, I should say that we would be more happy to see your wonderful performances!" Mo Kaihua's face was a little cold, but he didn't look cold when he spoke.
"Hehe......"
The gossip stopped, Xu Ziling also understood their thoughts, did not shirk, and immediately responded.
In order to verify the combat effectiveness of the submarine, the East China Sea Fleet did spend a lot of money this time, not only towing a scrapped warship as the target of the anti-ship missile, but also getting a special underwater submarine to test the power of the torpedo.
They have all invested so much, Xu Ziling naturally wants to perform well.
All the weapons systems of the submarine are their own technology, even the torpedoes ordered from the northern military industry, and when ordering, Xu Ziling also kept a hand: the guidance system and the tail wing were developed by themselves.
In other words, the specific performance of torpedoes is not known to the northern military industry.
The advanced technology of torpedoes is most in the United States, followed by Russia, and don't look at the torpedo has been used by the navies of countless countries, but in fact, there are not many countries that can make torpedoes, at least he knows, and the world is only a hand.
And the Celestial Empire's skills can only be regarded as medium, torpedoes in naval battles, whether it is anti-submarine, or attacking the enemy's underwater fortifications are indispensable weapons, but the big country, but only second-rate skills, this is definitely not very happy for Xu Ziling.
So in this exercise, he wanted to make the weapons on the submarine a blockbuster, and after that, publicly release their submarine-launched torpedoes, so that everyone knew how powerful their torpedoes were.
The first launched anti-ship missile.
The anti-ship missiles on the submarine are the XH series cruise missiles, although they are the same system, but the launch system is completely different, the land-based launch system is launched diagonally at a certain angle of the launch vehicle, and the submarine-launched system is launched vertically.
As we all know, the vertical launch system requires quite high technical skills, especially like the submarine-launched vertical system, which is more demanding than the technical skills of surface ships.
Although Xu Ziling was not a strategic submarine, in order to increase the amount of ammunition reserved, he finally considered using the cold launch method, but in terms of the technology of today's world, the cold launch technology is not used on a large scale, for no other reason, it is nothing more than that this launch method has too high requirements for the technology.
Where are the high requirements? The disadvantage of cold launch is mainly due to the fact that it must rely on the external force of the missile to help the launch, therefore, the structure of the launch system is quite complex, and the reliability is relatively poor, especially the requirements for the ignition control device technology of the missile rocket engine and the missile attitude control technology are very high.
Compared with the very mature technique of thermal launch, why would Xu Ziling choose cold launch?
Because the advantages of cold emission are also quite obvious: first, low-temperature emission will not ablate the launch system, and there will be no structural damage to the launch system. Second, because there is no need for a special exhaust channel like a thermal launch, the launch system is small in size, which can load missiles to the maximum extent in a limited space.
Not to mention the first one, that is, the second one can increase the amount of ammunition, Xu Ziling did not hesitate to choose the cold launch, not to mention, there is a lion, this cold launch technique is a problem for others, but for him, it is definitely not a problem.
(In reality, there are really not many countries that can make torpedoes, but I don't know how many there are, does anyone know about countries other than the five permanent ones?) )
