The second to climb down the ladder was the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Raeder was as agile as he had been in his youth, and the veteran seaman had boarded many submarines in his life, but this was the first time for the new U1001.

Raeder looked around curiously, and at the same glance he saw the Navy cook saluting with a spoon in front of the electric stove. The corners of Raeder's mouth trembled and he raised the marshal's staff in return, he was surprised that someone would stay on the boat and not attend the parade.

"My Führer, this is the galley of the submarine, and the area you see now is the cooking area." Raeder tried to distract Xu Jun.

"Well, Blomforss has put a lot of thought into the handling of this cabin, this large range hood and four-burner electric stove are still the ones I suggest to modify, how does it actually work? This ......," Xu Jun asked the chef.

"Bu Bu Bu ...... Sergeant Bloom, Your Excellency, I am the cook on this submarine. The cook finally put down the soup spoon in his hand, and he puffed up his chest and reported to Xu Jun excitedly.

"You haven't answered my question yet, Sergeant."

"I'm so sorry, my Führer, these things are wonderful, very useful, my Führer, I don't know how to express the excitement I feel right now, I never thought that one day I would be able to stand in front of you, I mean, to see such a great person as you with my own eyes, God...... My head is a little dizzy......" The cook's whole body trembled with excitement, and his incoherent words expressed his excitement and reverence for Xu Jun.

"Why is this guy here?" Raeder frowned and whispered to Captain Heinck, who had just descended into the boat.

"Sergeant Bruce is the best submarine chef I've ever met, he worked as a chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Munich for two years, and he was a very good pastry chef, and I asked him to stay on the boat to prepare cold drinks and desserts for the Führer, you must not have tasted the pudding and ice cream he made, it tasted ......," Heinke explained respectfully to Raeder, only to be heard by Werler behind him.

"You mean ice cream? Can ice cream also be made on this submarine? Werler was amazed by this, having once visited a submarine as it was preparing to sail. I was impressed by the hard bread and cured meats that filled every corner of the cabin.

"There's a cold storage under the deck below your feet to store fresh meat, vegetables and fruits that were previously difficult to insure, and of course a full ice-making unit to make ice cream and other cold drinks." Xu Jun turned his head and said to Weierle with a smile.

"Yes, my Führer, we no longer have to store a large amount of food in the cabin, our food storage is large enough to carry fish, shrimp, meat, fruits and vegetables for the whole crew for three weeks, and of course we have carried a portion of pickled food and canned food, which are stored in the spare compartments on the cold storage deck, and I can vouch that this submarine is the cleanest and most tidy submarine in the entire German submarine force. We do a full clean-up once a week, and the sailors take great care of the environment they have now. Heinck replied loudly.

It was the world's first submarine with a cold compartment, and the French dive cruiser also had only one large refrigerator on board. Cold storage does exist, and it's not just for the sake of satisfying sailors' appetites.

In the original history, German submarines were completely suppressed by the anti-submarine forces of the Allies, and every time they surfaced, they had to take great risks, and the submarines avoided being exposed to the water for a long time as much as possible, but there were some situations that could not be avoided, and the replenishment at sea became a nightmare for many submarine captains.

In order to ensure the speed of replenishment, the submarine must maintain a relatively close distance from the supply vessel. Submarines at this time were extremely vulnerable. In the event of an attack, there is little to no defense. In particular, when replenishing ammunition and food, due to the poor equipment at that time, the supply ships could only be sailed back and forth with sampans, and the submarines could only be moored on the surface of the sea at this time. At this time, if you encounter an attack, it is difficult to do even if you want to dive urgently.

Therefore, in order to avoid encountering similar dangers, the only way to do this is to stuff the submarine with supplies as much as possible to increase the submarine's self-sustaining time. So every submarine became a mobile commissary. Tons of cured meats and canned meats filled all the corners of the submarine, and fresh ingredients were consumed within a week, followed by the same canned meats and all sorts of hairy flour products.

And now. A cold storage can greatly reduce the pressure in this regard, and fresh food can ensure that the sailors can have strong morale and combat effectiveness for a long time. Xu Jun is even more deeply aware of this, he not only retained the cold storage in the original design, but also expanded the volume of this setting, anyway, this submarine has enough redundant space to squander, Xu Jun has increased the hull by ten meters.

"I'm a big fan of pudding and ice cream, Sergeant, what are you doing now?" Xu Jun asked the cook with a smile.

"Chocolate sauce is boiled and poured over the pudding, my Führer, this is this year's American cocoa, and I also put fresh milk and a little coconut water in it." The cook happily reported to the Führer.

"And this ......," Weirle said, gesturing to the cured pork hanging under the cupboard.

"It's tonight's main course, creamy potatoes with Hessian pickled pig's trotters." The cook respectfully answered the general's question, although he did not know this face, he must be a pivotal figure who could not stand behind the Führer.

"Keep working, Sergeant, I'm looking forward to your work." Xu Jun patted the sergeant's arm, then turned his head to Heinck and said. "Let's continue to visit your submarine, it's a bit crowded." Now there were two marshals and a general standing in the kitchen, plus two adjutants, a captain and a cook.

"Please go this way, my Führer." The captain hurriedly guided Xu Jun, and he was going to ask the head of state to visit the command cabin of this submarine, the control center for combat and navigation.

"We have two periscopes, one for attack and one for reconnaissance observation." Heinke walked to the center of the command module, where the deputy captain and four non-commissioned officers were already standing, who had entered the submarine through the hatch at the top of the control tower, waiting to answer the Führer's inquiries at any time according to the captain's orders.

"At some point, I used the attack periscope in the upper conning tower to command operations. But for the most part......" Heinck gestured to the co-captain, who quickly pressed a switch on the control board, and with a slight hum of a hydraulic pump, a periscope slowly rose up the periscope protection shaft in the middle. Heinke opened the folding handles on both sides of the lens and showed Xu Jun the brand-new precision instrument.

"We use this reconnaissance observation periscope in the command module, and it's the same as an attack periscope. I can directly connect to the shooting computer, I only need to set the distance and the course of the opponent according to the observation data, press the aiming line to the target, and the torpedo computer can automatically calculate the shooting parameters required for launch. Xu Jun held the handle of the periscope and leaned in front of the eyepiece to look inside, and the huge tail of the Bismarck was tightly blocked in front of the camera.

"So, is there any problem in practice?" Xu Jun let go of the periscope and turned to Heinck to ask, and he gestured to Werler. Let him come and have a look.

"We did a lot of underwater drills and didn't find any problems. The Blomforss company paid great attention to this submarine, and their engineers accompanied us during the sea trials. At least I haven't found anything big wrong yet, sometimes there are some minor problems, you know, after all, the boat is very new, and the sailors are not yet fully familiar with her habits, if you can give me another month or two......"

"There is not so much time left for you, the boat has passed the final acceptance. You will be transferred overseas for a week. Xu Jun interrupted Heinck's words, and he walked to the chart table and looked at the chart in front of him with his hands behind his back.

"You'll get a written order soon, and your destination will be here......" Xu Jun pulled over the folding lamp at the top, moving the pillar of light to an area on the large-scale world chart.

"Really? My Führer? Heinck asked in surprise. He thought it would take a few more months for the submarine to be allowed to join the real battle.

"The U1001 needs to be tested for long-distance voyages, as well as a series of seaworthiness tests in special sea areas to see if she can meet our requirements. We need a weapon that can be deployed anywhere on the planet at any time and can operate normally in any environment, and I have full confidence in the U1001. Trust that she will not let me down. Xu Jun said to Heinke with a serious expression.

"This is the plan of the High Command, and it must be taken seriously." Raeder had never heard of this plan at all, but out of trust in Xu Jun and some flattery, he did not hesitate to endorse Xu Jun's remarks.

"Is it too late to put the U1001 into the C formation and let Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten take care of the corresponding preparations?" Xu Jun turned his face and asked Weierle.

"It's completely in time, and it will take another week for the C formation to assemble and replenish. I think the U1001 can start early with the lead team. ”

"Then it will be decided first, Your Excellency Marshal, and I hope that the Navy can complete the preparation and replenishment of U1001 as soon as possible, and I want to see her performance in the tropical sea zone as soon as possible." Xu Jun walked slowly to the waterproof door next to the command module, this submarine was designed and built under his supervision, and he knew even more about this submarine than Heynck.

"Let's go to the torpedo compartment and then visit the power room." Xu Jun lowered his head and bent over the round waterproof door and walked into the work area on one side.

Immediately adjacent to the command compartment is the working compartment of the submarine. The two sides of the hull are separated by separate cabins, the first room on the left hand is the captain's quarters, in order to be able to quickly enter the combat position, the captain's cabin is not equipped with a hatch, but only a folding door curtain to cover the captain's small private space.

The first room on the right hand is the infirmary on the boat, Xu Jun has expanded the volume of this room on the drawings, and now there is an operating table in it, and there is a hatch at the bottom of the operating table, which can be accessed by the straight ladder to the lower deck, where a medicine warehouse and refrigerator are set up to place important medicines and preparation tools.

The main reason for the lack of medical support is that the internal space is small, the personnel are excessively dense, and the diet lacks sufficient nutrition, and the soldiers can only rely on oral vitamins and strong physique to resist the invasion of the virus, especially in the event of limb injuries, and there is no clean surgical space on the boat. U1001 has put an end to this tragic history, and submariners will receive the most timely and meticulous treatment in the infirmary.

Next door to the infirmary is the telecommunications room, which is the communication center of the entire submarine, and the Navy is equipped with a full range of conventional long-range communication systems, the most critical of which is the latest model of cipher machine. Naval Intelligence had confirmed that the original naval code had been leaked, and the British seized the code book from the German merchant ship requisitioned by the navy.

The improved version of the Enigma in front of me is so complex that it can be called maddening. Combined with the constant key changes and the use of one-time password sheets, it was now impossible for the enemy to decipher the German code.

Diagonally opposite the telecommunications room is the listening room, which is equipped with an active sonar captured from the Royal Navy, in addition to the original full set of underwater listening equipment. Similar products have been developed in Germany in a surprise way, and this sonar was installed on the U1001 as a tactical experimental device. In addition to passively calculating the enemy's position, this submarine can now actively search, and in terms of accuracy, the British product really shows its high-end side.

Germany started relatively late in this regard, and has not yet been able to come up with excellent domestic products, but Xu Jun has come up with key technical information and some sketches, which should be able to make up for these technical gaps soon. The German Navy has had a number of unique insights into the study of sonar in its original history. Later development models even surpassed the equipment of the Allied forces, and Xu Jun was ready to push these projects forward, and at least within a year he would be able to come up with a perfect product that could be put into operation.

Further on, there are rows of soldiers and officers living in quarters, the difference between the two being that officers have their own lighting fixtures and more storage space. Because of the ample interior of the U1001, the sailors were given a living environment that their peers could never have dreamed of, with two to four bunk beds placed in the cabins on each side, and folding tables between the beds for the soldiers to eat. There is also an upright locker at the partition of the living quarters, which is divided into four compartments. Each soldier was given a slot for his personal belongings and clothing.

Xu Jun went all the way, he was still satisfied with the setting and decoration of the cabin, and Blomforth didn't dare to do any tricks in the materials. All wood panelling and furnishings are made of fine hardwoods, and the cabin still smells of wood. All bunk beds are fitted with stainless steel railings along the edges. Prevent personal injury when the hull rocks. Adjacent to the torpedo compartment there was also a lavatory with a row of four washbasins plus a rain shower, a luxury unimaginable on other submarines, but a dream fulfilled on the U1001, which had enough space.

Xu Jun slowly walked down the aisle. Finally reached the minions of the submarine, the bow torpedo compartment. As a result of the improved living conditions, the bow torpedo compartment no longer left room for soldiers to rest. All the space was used to house torpedoes, leaving only a passage in the middle for soldiers to pass. The submarine could carry twenty-three torpedoes at a time, and as in the previous version, eight torpedoes were placed on each side of the inclined torpedo racks, one under the floor in the middle, and six pre-loaded in torpedo tubes, for a total of exactly twenty-three.

As in the XXI type, a new hydraulic loading system is used, which makes it possible to load a torpedo in two minutes under the control of a skilled soldier. This means that this submarine, as long as it is properly tactical, can launch continuous attacks and shoot out these 23 torpedoes at a time.

Xu Jun chatted with the torpedo chief for a few words and asked about the use, and finally got a very satisfactory answer.

A group of people, led by Xu Jun, began to turn around and walk back, and he wanted to see the power compartment of the submarine again. The endurance of the U1001 is now 30% higher than that of the previous version, and the endurance of the U1001 has been increased by half during submersion. In low-speed stealth with silent mode, she was able to sail under the surface for three days without needing to float and recharge. This is thanks to the huge battery reserves in the battery compartment under the bilge floor, and the battery pack on this submarine is four times that of a normal submarine, making it a veritable electric submarine.

The submarine has two six-cylinder high-horsepower marine diesel engines produced by the MAN company, and there is no doubt that Germany is at the forefront of the world in this regard. Behind the power compartment is the electric motor room, which is the soul of this submarine, in addition to the two SSW high-speed electric motors, this electric submarine has two more silent motors than ordinary submarines, which can propel this submarine to sneak quietly underwater at a speed of 5 knots. Xu Jun asked the chief engineer about power, and the rugged old sailor was amazed by the submarine's power performance, and said that if the navy agreed, he would stay on the ship until he finally retired.

Xu Jun finally ended his visit to the submarine with a sense of satisfaction, and he went to the command cabin to taste a cold drink at the invitation of the captain. Bloom's craftsmanship was as good as Heinck described, and Xu Jun happily drained a whole cup of ice cream and two chocolate puddings.

Happy times always come to an end, Xu Jun still has a bunch of official business to deal with, before leaving Xu Jun suddenly had an idea, he picked up a pen on the chart table, took out a blank document paper from the side, wrote a message in smooth and beautiful handwriting, and signed his name at the bottom.

Xu Jun handed the paper to Captain Heinck. "This is my personal gift to this submarine, and I hope you will enjoy it."

Heinke took the paper and looked down, only to see two lines written on it: "In the will of God, we have nothing to fear." For the sake of the motherland, forge ahead. Reinhart. Feng. Stadler. ”
