Chapter 593: The Nuclear Submarine Is Launched

The year 91 has arrived, and a new page has been turned in history.

Just after the New Year of this year, Pakistani President Mahmad came to Karachi, an important port in the south, and at the Karachi shipyard, Mhammad attended the launching ceremony of a new submarine that had just been built here.

The elongated water drop shape, the seven-bladed large side-oblique propeller at the tail, and the rudder surface on the conning tower, this submarine looks so full and powerful.

All the people looked at the submarine with pride in their eyes.

This submarine is Pakistan's first nuclear submarine! Moreover, it is also the first nuclear submarine built by Pakistan itself! At least, it is claimed that this is the case, and all the technology of this submarine is independently developed by Pakistan.

Through the use of high-strength alloy steel, the submarine has a diving depth of more than 500 meters, the power plant is on the shock-absorbing base, and at the same time the advanced propeller is used, and the outer surface of the entire hull is also laid with sound-absorbing tiles, so that the silence performance of this submarine is very good, equipped with various advanced electronic equipment from Western Europe, and the technical performance is very good. If there is a defect, that is, because of the problem of the power system, the top speed of this nuclear submarine can only reach about 25 knots.

There is no way, the power of nuclear submarines must not be like the Soviet Union, which only pursues advanced and ignores safety. Mhammad did not ask the technicians to increase the power of the nuclear reactor, everything was adjusted according to the Huaxia tuning, and only 90 megawatts of power were output.

At present, Pakistan has only temporarily solved the problem of whether it has or not, and as for more advanced nuclear submarines, it will need to wait until China's new nuclear reactor technology breakthrough, or Pakistan's own nuclear reactor technology breakthrough.

"Report to the president, the first nuclear submarine of our Navy, ready to be launched for sea trials. Please instruct. Captain Tasnim said loudly to Mhamad.

"Stay safe." "I am waiting for your triumphant return," Mhammad said. ”

After the aircraft is built, there must be a test pilot to conduct a test flight, and after the submarine is built, someone is also needed to control it to check whether the performance of the entire submarine meets the design requirements. And these operators are the crew of the submarine.

The trial voyage of the submarine is also full of risks, after all, it is underwater, and if it breaks down, it may never come out again.

"Yes." As a submariner, Tasnim has been on submarines for more than two decades, from the initial thousand-ton submarines, to large ocean-going diesel-electric submarines. And now the nuclear submarine with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, Tasnim has always been happy to do so.

"Let's go!" Tasnim said to the submariners behind him, sixty-five submariners, lined up, walking towards the submarine.

Got through the hatch and covered the hatch, only on the conning tower, two lookout posts stood. The Pakistani flag and the naval flag flutter in the wind.

"Attention. Prepare to boot the host. Tasnim said.

Nuclear reactors have been operating at low power for a long time, and now, the pressure in the circuit has been reached.

"Start the propellers and move forward one."

The propeller in the tail began to turn slowly, driving the submarine and slowly moving away from the shipbuilding base.

Mhammad's mood is mixed. The degree of technology of nuclear submarines can be said to be second only to aircraft carriers, and in later naval battles, nuclear submarines are also a kind of invisible killer, and now. Pakistan finally has nuclear submarines!

"The main ballast tank is filled with water and ready to dive into the water."

As one order after another was given, the bow of the submarine was spraying, and the whole submarine was sailing forward, and at the same time, slowly entering the water.

"Five meters deep, flatten the hull, pay attention to inspection."

It is still shallow water, and the total depth of the seabed does not exceed 40 meters, so in the event of an accident and grounding, the crew can rescue themselves.

At a depth of five meters, the submarine slowly flattened and moved slowly, and at the same time, the crews of each cabin were closely watching the movements of the hull.

The most feared thing about submarines is naturally water leakage, and underwater, once the water leaks, the water noise under high pressure is very loud, and it can be heard at the first time.

"The torpedo compartment is normal."

"The power compartment is normal."

"The equipment compartment is normal."

One by one, the voices reported that the submarine had completely passed the withstand pressure test at a depth of five meters and had not leaked.

"Heading 065, speed ten."

"Prepare to dive to fifty meters."

As we drifted farther and farther off land, the waters began to deepen, and the surrounding waters were as familiar to Tasnim as they were in his own back garden.

After diving to 50 meters, it will be checked again, and then it will gradually go deeper until it finally dives to about 300 meters, and finally an experiment will be carried out on the basis of 500 meters.

The submarine trial is first of all a submarine experiment, and all kinds of equipment of the submarine will be tested in the process of diving, and it will take ten days to half a month before returning to the base.

Most of the equipment of this submarine comes from the Supporter class, so there will not be much problem with the equipment, and the main sea trial is to test the hull of the submarine, as well as the nuclear power system.

The officers and men in the engine room at the tail are the hardest, originally the engineer is the worst type of submariner in the environment, vibration, noise, accompanied by their life, and after retirement, most of the people's ears have fallen to the root of the disease, and now, they have another danger, that is, a possible nuclear leakage.

Although it makes people smell the color, no one flinched, because only their existence can defend Pakistan's thousands of miles of sea borders!

Watching the nuclear submarine leave, Mhammad returned to the conference room of the shipyard and listened to the report on the work of the shipyard.

"We have already built two destroyers of our own, the third destroyer, which will be an air defense destroyer with a displacement of about 7,000 tons, and we are technically ready, as long as the drawings of the design department are designed, we can start construction at any time."

"In terms of civilian vessels, we have started to build giant oil tankers with a displacement of 300,000 tons, which are produced for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and they are very satisfied with our tankers."

"With more than 700,000 tonnes of total tonnage, we are ready to start construction this year, and we have become the largest shipyard in all of South Asia and the Middle East."

"This summer, our aircraft carrier Endeavour will enter the dock for a repair." said the Chief of Staff of the Navy.

It is impossible for an aircraft carrier to stay at sea all the time, nor can it always be in a complete state, therefore, in the case of only one aircraft carrier, it is impossible to maintain a state of combat readiness at any time, and this second-hand aircraft carrier of Pakistan, after several years of sailing, must undergo a major overhaul.

Mhammad listened to the reports from all sides, and he listened carefully.

"Our navy has entered a period of rapid development in recent years, and as our country grows stronger, we have urgent maritime interests to protect." "Our second aircraft carrier has been included in the next five-year plan, and when all supporting projects are resolved, we will start building our own second aircraft carrier," Mhammad said. ”

The second aircraft carrier! If Pakistan has a second aircraft carrier, its ocean-going combat capability will be greatly improved! Everyone present suddenly became excited.

The escort nuclear submarines, air defense destroyers, these supporting ships have already begun to enter service, and Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation is no longer a sheep, but has become a hegemon at sea!

To say that the only deficiency is that the Navy of Pakistan does not yet have ballistic missile nuclear submarines!

However, although it will take a long time for the Navy's ballistic missile nuclear submarines to overcome a series of difficulties, Pakistan also has a mobile secondary nuclear strike force, that is, a land-based mobile ballistic missile!

On the other side of the planet, the Rainbow Country.

Everywhere there is a desolate field, and in the field, a lion walks quietly, and the color of its body blends with the field, and it is difficult to spot it from a distance.

As a species at the top of the food chain, the lion is not as good as it seems, and when it does not catch its prey, it also starves. Now, it's the third day.

It was looking for prey everywhere, and even a hare was enough to feed it.

Walking, walking, the lion's pace suddenly slowed down, and it spotted a hare a few dozen meters away, plowing the ground!

The lion was very happy, and his steps were even slower, and he could not alarm his prey, but had to approach slowly, and then attack violently!

Step by step, the hare took a few bites, looked around, not at all aware of the danger coming.

The lion was slowly approaching, almost ten meters away, and it lay down on its front legs and kicked on its hind legs, ready to leap forward and pounce on the hare.

At this moment, a loud roar was heard in the distance, and with this roar, the ground trembled slightly.

The hare was frightened and ran away as fast as it could, and the lion should be able to catch up with the prey if it attacked. But it didn't move, its eyes were always looking at the behemoth that appeared in the distance.

It seems to be a giant centipede, crawling quickly on the field, the ground is trembling, and the centipede is making such a huge sound, it is definitely a monster!

Come on! The lion gave up its prey, shook off its limbs, and ran away as if flying, is this monster here to eat itself?

"Boom, boom." It was a seven-axle "tractor" with fourteen large off-road tires, each more than half a man high, with a sideways cab that was symmetrical on both sides, and on top of the body, there was a huge cylinder. Although there are no roads, it is on the ground.

Behind this tractor, there are also several multi-axle vehicles for support, forming a special convoy. (To be continued......)
