Chapter 695: Torpedo Improvements
Huge submarines, need more torpedoes, unlike destroyers and cruisers, torpedoes are only one of their means, for submarines, torpedoes are the biggest means, and even Yang Yuanzhao for the modifications carried out by submarines, torpedoes may be the only means. Visit wèn:.
In order to enhance the power of the torpedo, Yang Yuanzhao 'handed' over the task of localizing and strengthening the torpedo to the navy's real room, and 'pumped' enough personnel.
More than a dozen experts selected by the special "department" include engineers and scientists from various countries in the prime of life, as well as young students who have gradually grown up in the northwest, and they all devoted themselves to this research after understanding the various subsystems of torpedoes.
In the scientific and technological achievements of the great powers in digestion and absorption, the Northwest has an incomparable advantage over other countries, that is, because of the storage of the all-in-one machine, through the scanning area, you can clearly grasp their qiē, plus detailed drawings and notes, and even the physical objects that can be constantly reversed.
In the research institute, the drawings of the torpedo were first studied, and this 450 torpedo would be modified with a certain course, such as adding some things unique to the Northwest, the largest of which was simply a 'medicine'. The torpedo charges of various countries are secret, and they are all based on some 'charges' of t(n)t, which will be filled with some other things to increase the overall power.
Among the torpedoes in Germany, the charge is about 7% more powerful than the standard T(N)T, and the Northwest has made rapid progress in dynamite with the help of an all-in-one machine, and the strongest is probably the explosive charge that surpasses the power of T(N)T by 32%, and it can replace the explosive charge in the torpedo, which can increase the power of the torpedo, which is the most basic thing to enhance the power of the torpedo.
This is the easiest to do. As long as the 'drug' is replaced, it doesn't even need to be studied by scientists like them, but there is no shortage of what they need to do, and the 'charge' of the torpedo is only a part of its 'sexual' ability, although it is the most important. The part that is related to the overall power, the 450-mm torpedo. The whole volume is limited, the weight of more than 500 kilograms, and the 'medicine' may only be a few tens of kilograms or even less, but for a torpedo, it is enough, most of the warships can not withstand the attack of such a strong bomb, but the torpedo always has to hit to produce an effect, which has an impact on the hit rate. But it's not just one.
Through drawings and meticulous research, dozens of experts and specially invited engineers have established a total of hundreds of different sub-projects of torpedoes, among which a total of four sub-projects have entered the field of vision of researchers, namely speed. Depth fixing, pusher, and oxidizer addition, these four aspects are one of the most critical sub-projects of torpedoes, almost second only to the 'charge'.
Speed is second only to the sub-item of the 'drug', even above some kind of process. More important than the 'medicine', the reason why the torpedo is strong is because its speed can easily surpass most warships, only in this way will the battleship be unable to get rid of, generally speaking, the British and German torpedoes, their speed is about 32 knots. There hasn't been much improvement for a long time, but the researchers in the northwest, through the modification of the engine and thrusters, can greatly increase the speed of the torpedo, conservatively estimated at least 4 knots, and at best, it can reach 6 knots.
38 knots, has exceeded the speed of all warships, except for some warships that only have test and practical uses, and have no real combat use, those can run out of 45 knots, but the life and actual combat effect, is not worth mentioning at all, although the fixed depth is not as important as speed, but it is a more test base, which involves measurement and control, and there are some fine-tuning, clear depth, which can ensure that the torpedo can hit the battleship to the right position, especially below the waterline, this position, Only a few powerful battleships were protected from it, and the rest of the battleships here were weak with only one layer of ordinary shells, and with the power of torpedoes, they were enough to break through and sink with one blow.
As far as the submarine is concerned, the torpedo is the best weapon, and the powerful direct representative of the torpedo is the enhancement of the submarine's strength, at present, within half a year, only these fine-tuning can be seen, if these projects are established, and the adjustment and increase continue, the torpedo may undergo huge changes, but it is no longer able to catch up with the submarine this time.
Of course, Yang Yuanzhao understands this, what he wants is only suitable, suitable for the current use of torpedoes, for the research of these sub-projects, of course, will continue, but that's another matter, the research institute received the task, after two weeks of research, it fed back the information, according to the current data reality, this kind of torpedo that has undergone a lot of optimization and adjustment, 'sex' energy, will be more effective than the original, the power will increase by about 40%, the speed will increase by 12%, and the stability will be Sexuality and depth control will also be more 'refined', and the reliability of 'sex' has been greatly improved.
Whether it is World War I or World War II, there are a large number of torpedoes that are 'fired' out, and torpedoes with greater reliability are rare, just like during World War II, Japan's Type 93 oxygen torpedo, with a range of up to 20 kilometers, which can be said to be a very positive spear, which is even farther than the 'firing' range of the mainstream main guns at that time, and was unique in the early days. It is a pity that the reliability of this kind of torpedo is too poor, and some people say that it is too sensitive, because the sea 'waves' detonate more than the 'shot', and it is easy to be injured by mistake, and the improper storage of oxygen accelerants can easily produce an explosion.
Reliable 'sex' this thing, the design above, can avoid a part, but more, is to reduce the error of each link, the simple link seems to be no problem, many links combined together, there will be problems, this is the most difficult torpedo to solve and overcome the place, the northwest after contact, especially the use of the original drawings began to imitate, there is such a problem, obviously there is no problem with the imitation, the torpedo made zuò out, but five 'flower' eight ' After a clear analysis of the all-in-one machine, Yang Yuanzhao instructed a local method, that is, to subdivide each step, so that the failure rate of each step can be reduced to a controllable process, and then integrate, using workers, especially cheats such as the all-in-one machine, in the same batch of torpedoes, find the best ones, summarize the lessons and lessons, you can 'fine' and seek 'refinement', so that the overall reliability 'nature' can reach an acceptable process.
What the Northwest needs to do now is to gradually understand the production methods of torpedoes, thoroughly study this type of torpedoes, find out some objective laws of torpedoes, put forward higher requirements for torpedoes, fine-tune each sub-project, and improve the overall effect and stability of torpedoes, but on the other hand, they will not give up in-depth research on torpedoes and strive to develop bigger and stronger torpedoes.
The northwest has perfected the pool and the wind 'hole', and even in the pool continues to increase, the current tens of thousands of square meters of pool, can be compared' Realistic simulation to most of the sea clearing, by the way, some fluid science is also being studied, with the more powerful calculation tools in the northwest, although there is no formula for a certain aspect, a special program has been developed, but the existing calculation methods, greatly reduce the impact of the calculation, the northwest in the special mechanics of the improvement is particularly significant, which is for the submarine, when the combat is in the water, even more so, the improvement of dozens of boxes, will hey the next time, the basic structure of the submarine will be fine-tuned, it is expected to reduce the fluid resistance by 15%, so that the speed of the submarine, without increasing the fuelto get a lot of boosts.
Replaced with a 450 mm torpedo that exploded yao, the amount of 'charge' can be increased by about 12%, and the power of the overall bomb can be increased by about 35%, for the general warship, it is not strong waterline armor, and it has a one-hit killing effect, in the future, when the new torpedo is put into production, the reliability of the "performance" has been greatly improved, and the failure rate of the original British and German torpedoes has been reduced by about 90%, reliable' The performance has been greatly strengthened, especially the fixed depth, more than 99% of which can reach the rated fixed depth, which is very critical to the blow of the warship.
After such a series of improvements, it is still the original 450 mm torpedo, but the combat effectiveness does not know how much it has improved, the torpedo most of the time, only one attack effect, for the four "launch" tube torpedoes, there are only 4 chances, to be exact, it should be the first shot is the most powerful, once the "excited" is sent out, it will be discovered by the other side, unless waiting for the opponent's protective fleet to calm down, otherwise, the forcible "excited" launch, the danger of the submarine "nature" will also increase. The submarine is different from the offensive and defensive balance of the battleship, his attack and defense are not proportional, if it is not for the sea to provide sufficient cover, the submarine can not enter the ranks of the battleship at all, the sudden attack of the submarine, as long as it hits, can generally cause huge losses, now, the depth, reliability of the 'sex', the speed and the amount of 'charge' have risen sharply, the lethality of the torpedo has increased by one or two times, such a torpedo, once it appears on the battlefield, is absolutely a nightmare for any fleet.
This adjustment continues, the preliminary improvement has been finalized, after the future adjustment of several projects, you can complete the initial industrial finalization, according to this time according to the table, up to 3 months later, you can assemble on the submarine, the current submarine, using only an ordinary 450 mm torpedo, this is the northwest for imitation torpedoes, but the replacement of the bombing, but at this time in the dock of the river 'Yin', the ceremony of the two submarines into the ship, should really be prepared, Yang Yuanzhao came to the river' The purpose of Yin' is to participate in this ship-entering ceremony, and by the way, to nominate two new warships for China since more than 10 years ago -- 73175 + dsuaahhh + 30555872 -- >
