Chapter 378: Donghua Empire's Domestic Killer!
Southeast of the Mauritius archipelago, 240 nautical miles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Three hundred and fifty meters below the surface of the sea, a ship is about 108 meters long, about 10 meters wide, about 9 meters high, with an underwater displacement of nearly 7,500 tons, the whole body is dark, the hull is like an elongated cigar, with a streamlined command platform, retractable horizontal rudders, X-shaped tail rudder, and a deep-sea steel monster driven by a pump-jet thruster, is slowly moving forward with a speed of six knots along the ocean current.
In the submarine command center, Wang Haiyang stared intently at the two bright spots on the fire control computer screen.
If the "Shark" experimental nuclear submarine commanded by Wang Haiyang is a Bugatti Veyron supercar, then the two nearby "Berlin" class AIP conventional-powered submarines designed by Germany based on the advantages and disadvantages of the XXI submarine and the Kilo-class submarine are Ford classic cars displayed in the museum.
"Captain, target number one is floating, do you want to follow?"
"Follow behind Target 1 and keep a close eye on Target 2." Wang Haiyang walked behind the helmsman and said lightly: "Control the course and speed, when the depth reaches fifty meters, start the underwater camera, and I have to take a good look at whether the level of the German cottage has grown." ”
The "Shark," a new type of attack nuclear-powered submarine test boat independently developed by the Donghua Empire, silently followed the German submarine and floated towards the surface of the sea like a deep-sea ghost.
Half a year ago, when he was ordered to transfer from the "Expedition 037" Seawolf-class nuclear submarine to the "Shark" as the captain, Wang Haiyang felt that he might have made a mistake and was assigned to exile. For this reason, I sulked for more than a month.
Because, this domestic nuclear submarine, which is said to have all the independent intellectual property rights of the Donghua Empire, is not as good as the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine purchased by the Empire from the Plan organization in terms of size, speed, and maximum depth.
The "Shark" new attack nuclear submarine is based on Cheng Gong's later American Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine, absorbing the technology of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine manufactured by the base, supplemented by the technology of the later Soviet Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, coupled with the high-strength titanium alloy shell provided by the base, the first domestically produced nuclear submarine of the Donghua Empire developed by the Paradise Island North Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group.
Considering that the Cold War pattern could not emerge after the end of World War II, Cheng Gong defined the basic design idea of the Donghua Royal Navy's attack nuclear submarines as dealing with regional wars, using submarine-launched missiles to attack land targets, engaging in anti-submarine warfare along the coast, providing support to special forces, and serving as direct support for aircraft carrier combat formations.
Therefore, the design idea of the Donghua Royal Navy attack nuclear submarine is to be multi-functional and multi-purpose. In addition to retaining and enhancing the quietness of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine, the "Shark" did not pursue the ability to dive at high speed and deep under water.
Rather, it improves the noise reduction technology of the Seawolf-class, appropriately reduces the maximum speed, develops a new combat command system, reduces the load of weapons on the submarine and the speed of the delivery of weapons, reduces the maximum diving depth, and reduces the number of crew members. In order to ensure that it can adapt to shallow water activities and maintain its advanced nature until the end of the century.
In order to operate in shallow sea waters, and to consider surface reconnaissance and cooperation with surface ships, the "Shark" is equipped with an advanced photoelectric mast periscope, which is topped with various optical and electronic equipment, but the mast itself is arranged within the scope of the command platform outside the pressure-resistant shell, and does not penetrate the pressure-resistant shell.
The signal observed by the periscope can be transmitted to the display screen on the display console in the cabin through optical fiber, which is flexible and functional, and also brings more convenience to the design and layout of the submarine.
The Shark also uses an advanced degaussing system that can be replenished at any time to reduce magnetic flux. In addition, a lightning protection system is also installed, which can detect and evade mines laid by the enemy in time.
In addition to laying silencing tiles, equipped with ultra-quiet low-noise reactors, bladeless turbine motors, Delta IV silic tiles, special rubber hydroacoustic silencing tiles, pump jet thrusters and other stealth technologies, the "Shark" also pays great attention to the stealth design of the command station enclosure to reduce the possibility of being detected by radar after surfacing the surface.
The design of this new AT-H-1940A nuclear power unit, jointly developed by Einstein and Tesla, fully embodies the avant-garde idea of not changing refueling for 30 years at a time, which can save at least hundreds of millions of Asian dollars in the whole life cycle cost.
Computer-aided design tools and modular concurrent engineering design schemes are widely used to make the whole design convenient and economical. In addition, an open C3i system structure is adopted, and some civilian products are used in electronic equipment, which significantly reduces costs.
Because this new nuclear submarine named by Cheng Gong as the Dahan-class adopts a modular design, the Dahan-class not only adopts a modular independent hull structure or deck in terms of power, control, weapons, etc., but also can assemble different structural modules to form different types of submarines according to the different tasks performed, so that the basic type of the Dahan-class can be quickly expanded into other types of submarines.
The Dahan-class is equipped with a module for launching ballistic missiles, which allows it to be equipped with ballistic missile nuclear submarines and transform from a conventional attack type into a strategic nuclear strike force. There is also a module with a cabin area to accommodate special operations personnel, so that the Dahan-class can have the transportation capacity of a special operations submarine.
This modular design concept can not only contribute to the lifetime cost of the system, but also have a profound impact on the overall defense cost savings of the Donghua Empire.
On the issue of nuclear weapons development, Cheng Gong finally persuaded Einstein and promised to let only the Donghua Empire have nuclear bombs, and would never let a second country have such destructive weapons. Cheng Gong made it clear that once any country was found to be engaged in nuclear weapons research, the Donghua Empire would immediately deal a devastating blow to the country's nuclear industry.
Albert Einstein, Tesla, Dr. Braun and other scientists believed that the Donghua Empire should have a superweapon that could deter any country in the world, and for this reason, Tesla also proposed to build a wireless power transmission tower on Paradise Island that is larger than the Warden Creavor Tower.
In the end, however, the choice of nuclear fission weapons was unanimous. Because everyone doubts the stability of Tesla's high-power electric energy wireless transmission device.
Einstein and others did not agree to Tesla's proposal, but Cheng Gong secretly gave Tesla full support. But whatever Tesla wanted to study, the Donghua Empire couldn't get the materials and equipment, Cheng Gong let the base manufacture it and hand it over to Tesla.
As a result, Paradise Island has not only succeeded in developing a nuclear warhead with a maximum power of 300,000 tons, but has also built a Tesla Tower that is three times larger than Worden Cliff Tower!
The Tesla Tower, which has a nuclear power plant to provide electricity, has at least twice the output power and wireless transmission distance compared to the original Wordencliffe Tower.
It has to be said that after being genetically strengthened, the three scientific wizards of Einstein, Tesla and Blan, their "brain holes" have become more active.
They participated in the development project of Donghua's domestic nuclear submarine, and the "Shark" experimental submarine built by them not only has a more stable and quieter reactor than the reactor of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine manufactured by the base, but also the TSL-WW-40A bladeless turbocharged motor provided by Tesla is also more stable and quieter than the high-power ship steam turbine manufactured by the base, and the output power is greater.
And more importantly, on the experimental boat "Shark", a wireless power transmission / reception device was also used!
