Chapter 70: Torpedo Strikes (2)
The 70th Octopus (2)
Although the torpedo at this time has just solved the problem of drive and buoyancy, and the specific model and size have not yet been determined, the most important thing about torpedoes today is these two items, and the rest of the things are easy to solve. Besides, Li Zhen has never had the luxury of making guidance or tracking torpedoes in this era, all he needs is a weapon that can quickly sneak underwater and attack enemy ships, what line guidance, infrared guidance, what wake tracking, what sonar guidance Li Zhen doesn't need, and he can't study it, to put it bluntly, what he needs is not high-tech, all he wants is a 'cannonball' that can attack the enemy in the water.
Finally, after nearly four years of research, a torpedo that seemed extremely rudimentary in later generations appeared, this torpedo was named 'Jaws No. 1' by Li Zhen, 'Jaws No. 1' torpedo structure is very simple, but simple does not mean simple, the main components of later torpedoes are here, firing pins, shells, stabilizer wings, explosives, buoyancy devices, propeller thrusters, fuel, etc., it can be said that there are a lot.
In addition to the guidance, induction, intelligence and other high-tech equipment that cannot be made in later generations, the rest should have, and even in appearance are very similar to the torpedoes of later generations - but it is only a little similar in appearance, the torpedoes of later generations are all shot after shooting, and the 'Great White Shark No. 1' torpedo is not able to control after shooting, the two sound similar, but in fact they are diametrically opposite, those torpedoes of later generations will automatically adjust the direction when they shoot out, so no one cares, and' Jaws One's torpedo was nothing, it was just a cannonball underwater, and it couldn't be taken care of after it was fired.
But it is precisely because there is not so much mess, so the 'Jaws One' torpedo is very simple, just calculate the amount in advance, and then aim at the enemy's ship, and because there is not so much electronic equipment, so there is no need to worry about being interfered by magnetic fields, radio waves or enemy interference sources, so it is missed, or even caused by their own oolong incident. The only thing that can affect the accuracy of the torpedo is the waves, but this is also something that cannot be helped, the torpedo technology of later generations is so developed, and I don't see how high the hit rate is.
Besides, the ships of this era have never seen any torpedoes, so naturally they will not be equipped with any anti-torpedo equipment, and the reaction speed is not fast, so if they are targeted by torpedoes, it is basically impossible to escape, unless there is a problem with the torpedo fuse and is interfered with by the sea, and it deviates from the original course - but the latter is not a big problem, you only need to calculate the amount of advance, the enemy's ship is so large, and the speed of the torpedo is not slow, even if it deviates, it will not deviate much.
As for the performance of the 'Great White Shark No. 1' torpedo, because of the excellent fuel, the speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour (this is already the speed of the standard torpedo of the US imperialists in the 70s, you must know that the speed of the standard torpedo 'MK48' equipped with nuclear submarines in the 70s is only 111 kilometers per hour, of course, there are also ' The weight of the Great White Shark No. 1 is only more than 100 kilograms, while the torpedo of the United States is more than a ton factor), but because of the violent fuel burning, the endurance of the torpedo is insufficient, and the effective range is only about two kilometers, and then it will sink into the sea to fish and become a real 'torpedo' - but this is not a disadvantage, in ancient times when there were no means of guidance, even if the endurance could reach ten kilometers, can you still hit it? It's good to be able to fly out for nearly two kilometers, and no matter how far you go, even if you calculate the amount of advance, you can't aim accurately.
What's more, now that so many enemy ships are crowded together, densely packed, and in order to ensure the stability of the torpedoes, Li Zhen put the enemy within 500 meters to use them - so many ships, such a close distance, it is impossible to aim inaccurately.
And now it turns out that the power of the torpedo is really powerful, no matter how big the ship is, it only needs to be hit once, which is enough to completely destroy the entire ship - Cheng Chuliang saw with his own eyes that the stern of a ship was hit by a torpedo, and then the entire tail was blown up, and even the whole ship was blown up and slowly sunk, which is also the only one that has maintained its integrity among all the ships that have been hit.
If it is not a torpedo but a cannonball, even if it is a 150 mm giant naval gun, there will only be a big hole at most after being hit, and it is still possible to save it, but now the result is that the entire ship has become the Titanic (the scene of the sinking of the Titanic is the most classic scene that Ben San has seen), in addition to the fact that the charge of the torpedo is far more than the cannonball, another reason is that the underwater explosion is stronger than the explosion in the air.
Everyone should have heard of this principle, when the explosive explodes in the water, the explosion of high-pressure gas will also produce bubbles underwater, and the explosive with the equivalent of 500Kg of TNT will even produce bubbles with a diameter of more than ten meters when it explodes underwater. The pulsating pressure generated by the expansion and contraction of the bubble and the jet generated when the bubble collapses can cause great damage to the ship. The period of bubble pulsation is generally similar to the low-order vibration cycle of the ship, which can cause the ship to break, and the peak pressure of the bubble jet is extremely large, which can further expand the local breach generated by the shock wave, so sometimes the near miss is even more serious than the damage to the upper part of the waterline caused by a direct hit.
In other words, everyone should have played artillery battles, and if the artillery is thrown outside and explodes, it can only make a loud noise, and then a little gunsmoke, and if you throw the artillery into the water, although you hear a muffled sound, the reaction of the water is much stronger than that in the air, and if the water is not deep enough, it can even blow up the silt at the bottom of the water - if there are any fish nearby, it is estimated that you can be stunned with a shot (this is a real thing, a small friend did it when I was a child).
“……”
After the torpedo exploded, there was silence on the sea, not to mention people, even the sea breeze and waves seemed to be shaken, and the sound gradually became smaller.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
“……”
Others are quiet, but the officers and men on the torpedo boats are not quiet, they have not practiced with scrapped target boats in ordinary training, they have long been accustomed to it, and they have even exercised a big heart, and they did not even look at the explosion effect, but after the torpedo was launched, they continued to prepare, adjusted the direction of the torpedo tube, and then launched the second round of torpedoes in the shortest time.
Fainted.,Chapter 67 was actually banned.,It's inexplicable.,I don't even know why.,Wait a minute, I'll check it out and see if there are any forbidden words.,Chapter 3 doesn't know if it's going to be issued......
