After looking for a long time, none of the design teams said that they had designed a new type of submarine. And this surprised Wang Guorui, and this simply made Wang Guorui a little strange. Just now, it was clear that the Red Alert system recognized this submarine, but no one was able to design it? And Wang Guorui opened the submarine and took a look, the submarine in the red alert system has a displacement of about 1,000 tons, and the self-sustaining power of the submarine is only three days, and if it does not float within three days, it will definitely not survive. But that's not the point, because the submarine has just been invented, and it is certainly impossible to survive in the water for a long time. After all, there is no nuclear power at this time, and it is impossible to produce oxygen in the submarine itself. Fuel is limited and cannot be used to electrolyze water to produce oxygen. Therefore, long-term self-sustaining submarines can only be achieved during the nuclear submarine period. This can be underwater for three days, and that's it.

"It's actually a steam gas torpedo?" Wang Guorui muttered.

Wang Guorui finally realized why the red alert system only now admitted that this submarine of his own design turned out to be that the steam gas torpedo had not been designed before. It is important to know that the main weapon of submarines in later generations was also torpedoes, which could not be used as artillery to attack the enemy. The submarines of this period were just the opposite, their main weapon was actually artillery, and they only used artillery to attack the enemy after they suddenly surfaced at the present time. And in this era the torpedo was only an auxiliary weapon, because in this era the torpedo used an air compressor engine, not a steam gas motive. And the steam gas engine is the epoch-making thing that brought a real great development to the torpedo, and if there was no steam gas engine, it would naturally not have the glory of the later torpedo.

Therefore, Wang Guorui has not been able to obtain the recognition of the red alarm system before, and it is actually the steam gas torpedo that has not been invented, which makes the submarine unable to be recognized. Without steam gas torpedoes, submarines would not have been a torpedo-based weapon. And the steam gas torpedo was invented. The red alert system also recognized the design of this torpedo, which means that the red alert system only admits that the torpedo uses a new design based on torpedoes, and those who cannot use spare strength as the main weapon in actual combat are not recognized by the red alert system.

"Who invented the steam gas torpedo?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Steam gas torpedoes? Lord Wang, we haven't reported it yet, how do you know? The designer of the torpedo group asked.

And Wang Guorui immediately replied: "It's very simple." There is nothing I don't know about things within Taiwan! ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, because Wang Guorui would not have planted many people in Taiwan. However, it is not strange in everyone's hearts, because this naval ship design institute is the core department, and it would be strange if there were no people!

"Lord Wang, this is a new type of torpedo made by our torpedo design team. And before that, we got your hint from Mr. Wang, that it is not necessary to use the compressed air engine as the torpedo engine, and you can try to use the steam gas scheme as the engine. And we'll be able to figure it out soon. And we just designed it, and we haven't reported it for review, so you don't know if you don't think of Lord Wang? Said the torpedo designer.

Wang Guorui then took a general look at the parameters of this torpedo, and this torpedo is a 324 mm torpedo, and the caliber of this torpedo is not small. If used well, a single shot can be enough to sink a battleship, which is very useful. However, the torpedoes of 324 mm caliber are also very heavy. You can't carry much inside a submarine either. In general, submarines also choose those worthy targets, such as battleships. At the very least, it's all about cruisers. If it weren't for these two ships, An would not have been a worthy target. And those ordinary small boats do not have much impact on the overall situation of the war, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

After all, submarines are "assassins" at sea, and the greatest deterrent of assassins lies in their surprise attacks. And if an Assassin identifies himself and wants to assassinate him directly in front of the enemy, then this is not an assassination. It's about looking for death. The value of torpedoes is also a sneak attack, and there is no need for him to waste torpedoes for some worthless targets, so that they will definitely lose more than they gain. So their target is battleship cruisers, and the second is large troop carriers, which can sink a large number of land forces to the bottom of the sea. It's also valuable.

However, as a submarine, it is necessary to form a submarine force. If it is difficult for a single submarine to send an enemy battleship to the bottom of the sea, several submarines must work together. And if in terms of cost, a submarine is only 50,000 silver dollars, which is not too expensive. If five submarines besiege a British monarch-class battleship, it would be worth it, even if they all die together. In terms of cost, it has already made a lot of money, and in terms of the cost of human life, it has made a lot of money. One of these small submarines has only seven or eight people, and five of them are only more than thirty people. However, a monarch-class battleship is hundreds of people, and these are the elite of the enemy's navy, which took years to cultivate. And if even if they are all wiped out, in terms of the loss of human resources, Taiwan will have earned it.

"Very good, reward the submarine design team with 10,000 silver dollars. And I separately awarded a thousand silver dollars to the torpedo design team as an additional bonus for them. Wang Guorui said.

Although Taiwan advocates giving priority to spiritual rewards, material rewards cannot be less. After all, people also have to eat, and if there are not enough material rewards, they will not be able to maintain spiritual pleasure for a long time. After all, material civilization is the foundation of spiritual civilization, and it must not be missing.

"Immediately ordered, began to form a submarine force. The submarine forces are currently temporarily forming two detachments, each with three submarine groups, and then each submarine group with three or four submarines. And the status of the submarine captain is equivalent to the battalion level. Moreover, the people on the submarine are treated according to the minimum non-commissioned officer. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui immediately ordered the formation of these submarine forces, and then hoped to be able to form an army as much as possible. If the submarine force can be formed, then Taiwan will be able to reach the level of leading the world in terms of submarine forces. Even if you're an Englishman, you can't even think that you have a steam gas torpedo. It's not strange that submarines can be reliable enough that they don't have to repair them three times a day. And torpedoes are not surprising, many ships now have torpedoes on them, but steam gas torpedoes are also strange.

The speed of torpedoes in this era is only about 20 knots, and such a slow torpedo is not at all comparable to some fast ships. This torpedo is so slow, many ships can dodge and avoid the past. The steam gas torpedo was different, and the speed of the steam gas torpedo was more than 50 knots, and almost any ship could not avoid it in this era. The steam gas torpedo is a torpedo that has been used for a long time and has great potential for development. And it was only 100 years later, in 1997, that the supercavitating torpedo that replaced the steam gas torpedo was really invented.

It can be said that in this era, the steam gas torpedo is definitely a big killer, and if it is used well, it can completely sneak attack several battleships of the enemy, so that they will suffer huge losses.

"Lord Wang, this submarine is only seven or eight people, how can it be made into a battalion-level establishment?" Someone asked.

Even these designers do not necessarily understand the power of submarines. Now the theories about submarine warfare are all in the process of research, although there have been some so-called submarine operations before, but you are based on the submarine after the submarine is close to use explosives to blow up, not really use torpedoes to shoot long-range. However, Wang Guorui is deeply aware of the power of submarines, and the technical content he represents. And the level of the establishment of submarines really needs to be higher, and the combat effectiveness of submarines cannot be underestimated.

You must know that in later generations, the captain of a submarine can at least reach the rank of lieutenant colonel, and even some can reach the rank of major general, so the status of this submarine will at least get higher and higher. Submarines can be said to be the smallest number of ships, many of which are smaller than those of the same status of naval vessels, and even fewer than those of the same level of the Army.

"You should be clear that modern warfare is not about the number of people, but about the number of people. We should use combat effectiveness as the basis for determining the level, and not calculate combat effectiveness by the traditional number of people. If it is still based on the number of people, then the navy is not comparable to the army at all. Therefore, you must keep pace with the times, and you must see that the future is different, and the future is already an era in which your status is measured by combat effectiveness. You must abandon this kind of thinking in the cold weapon period. Therefore, the number of people is no longer an important parameter in determining the level of status, but should be based on the combat effectiveness that they can exert. And this submarine, the combat effectiveness that a submarine can exert is definitely not lower than that of an ordinary surface ship, and even in the future, I am afraid that the submarine will become more and more advanced, and the combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger. What's more, the technical content of these submarines is also very high, and it takes many years of non-commissioned officers to be competent. Therefore, as a captain, it is natural to rise the tide, and a battalion level is nothing. Wang Guorui said.

"Obey the teachings of Lord Wang!" Everyone hurriedly said together. (To be continued......)
