Chapter 197: Transformation
Indeed, as Hephaestus said, it takes not even a few minutes to find out the performance of a Typhoon-class submarine.
As the sappers invaded one by one, the entire data of the submarine was soon completely exposed to the sappers.
Only four or five minutes later, one after another, the sappers returned to the rest room and came to Sun Cheng to explain their renovation plan to him one by one.
Obviously, Hephaestus's performance just now also taught these sappers a lesson.
With a blue light flashing in his eyes, receiving the last copy of the transformation plan transmitted by the sappers, Sun Cheng looked at it one by one.
The pride of the Red Empire in the past, the largest deep-sea monster ever made by mankind, the Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, is indeed like a child's toy in the eyes of the Decepticon sappers.
The equipment is too scummy, a lot of space is occupied by useless facilities, and the power system is backward!
These are the three consensuses that appear in the transformation plans of all the sappers!
Sun Cheng also has a positive attitude towards this!
Indeed, the equipment in the Arkhangelsk is not advanced even by the industrial standards of the earth, especially the radar and other electronic equipment in the submarine, which is limited by the poor electronic industrial base of the former Soviet Union, not only lags behind the United States in an all-round way, but may not be as good as the electronic equipment used in China's self-built submarines.
In the former Soviet Union, in order to take care of the submarine soldiers, the designers of the Typhoon used a considerable part of the cabin area to serve the soldiers, although the interior design of each Typhoon-class has some changes, but it is still generally similar.
For example, the Arkhangelsk has a library, a swimming pool, a steaming room, a gymnasium, and two rest rooms.
For soldiers serving on submarines, it is very oppressive to lurk under the dark sea for a long time, and these are indeed indispensable facilities.
But Sun Cheng and they are not human beings but mechanical life, you must know that every space in the submarine is precious, although the space of the nuclear submarine is much larger than the conventional submarine with a displacement of only two or three thousand tons and a canned sardine, but these original supporting facilities will only occupy the space in vain, and they will definitely be dismantled.
As for the power system, Sun Cheng didn't know much about these, and only after reading some did he understand that the sappers who turned out to be the Decepticons couldn't look down on the nuclear reactors equipped on the typhoon, and some radicals proposed to replace the power system with super magnetic fluid thrusters!
After reading all the renovation plans, more than an hour has passed.
Sun Cheng also admitted that the renovation plans of the sappers seem to be quite feasible, but most of them are overhauled, and the improvement plans alone are far from being completed in a day or two.
After taking a moment to read them, he saw Hephaestus waiting in front of him a little anxiously, and he realized that he didn't see Hephaestus's plan in the renovation plan just now.
"Master, this is my renovation plan......"
Hephaestus obviously wanted to show himself more than the other sappers, so he obviously had to pay more attention to the design than the other sappers.
Nodding slightly to him, after the core received the transformation plan he transmitted, Sun Cheng looked at it, and soon, a slight smile finally appeared on his face.
"If you do a good job, just follow your transformation plan, and promote the first phase of transformation first!"
"Yes, master. Let's do it! ”
With his approval, Hephaestus seemed to have no better compliment, and immediately excitedly accepted the task, and then proudly commanded the other sappers, and began to get busy.
In the lounge, Sun Cheng was soon left alone to continue to stay there.
Hephaestus's transformation plan was not much better than the other sappers, but it was more in line with Sun Cheng's wishes, and for no other reason, because he set up this transformation plan in two stages.
The first stage is to use the existing equipment inside the submarine to strengthen them, this process is not very large for the engineers, the only laborious is probably the modification of the existing nuclear reactor on the submarine, it needs to use at least five engineers, and continue to work for several days to complete.
The second stage, strictly speaking, is the real overhaul.
Hephaestus will redesign a new set of sound-dampening tiles, as well as overhaul the interior, remove and redesign the parts that are completely unusable, and replace the Arkhangelsk with a new power system, replacing the Arkhangelsk with two super-magnetohydrojet propulsion units, and replacing its original diesel-assisted power plant with a set of Cybertron energy cubes.
The transformation task of this process is very large, and it can even be said that it is not much smaller than building a submarine, after all, there are still many places that are not satisfactory to the typhoon, and the diving depth is only 500 meters, which he is very dissatisfied with.
After all, it is not difficult for mechanical life to enter the deep sea of several thousand meters.
Hephaestus' scheme is undoubtedly the best fit for the moment!
Sun Cheng sneaked into Severodvinsk this time to steal a typhoon, although he was not afraid of exposure, after all, he was just going to make a big move to make Russia's powerful president notice his existence, so as to facilitate the next dealings with Russia.
However, not being afraid of exposure does not mean that he has a lot of time to waste here.
For the time being, it was enough for the sappers to complete the first stage of the transformation of the Arkhangelsk so that it could go to sea.
There will never be too many chances to be able to get a deep-sea monster for nothing, Sun Cheng will definitely seize such a good opportunity, and it will not be too late to leave the second stage of transformation for later.
Because the Arkhangelsk has not yet been officially decommissioned, although it has been docked in the Severodvinsk shipyard for some time, the twenty submarine-launched ICBM launchers in the submarine have been emptied, and all the ballistic missiles inside have been taken away by Maozi.
But the submarine has not yet been dismantled, so the equipment inside is maintained in a wartime state and can be activated at any time once the big war begins.
However, most of the equipment equipped in the Arkhangelsk has not been replaced since it entered service at the end of the eighties of the last century, so it not only looks very dilapidated, but also lags behind the times in terms of performance, and all of them must be replaced.
Fortunately, there are plenty of materials in the Severodvinsk shipyard, and the sappers should be able to complete the first stage of the renovation within a week.
In addition, the nuclear reactor inside the Arkhangelsk submarine was not disposed of, and apparently the Severodvinsk shipyard did not remove the nuclear fuel from the reactor without receiving the above-mentioned explicit notice of decommissioning.
Hephaestus inspected the reactor, and found that there was plenty of nuclear fuel inside, which, according to the sappers' estimates, would keep the Arkhangelsk on the ocean floor for four or five years.
This has undoubtedly saved them a lot of time!
As a result, in a corner of the Severodvinsk shipyard, the transformation of a Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine began in full swing.
