Chapter 359: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss (Happy New Year)

"Dr. Sen, long time no see."

Mori Shangzhe, who was discussing the design plan, suddenly turned his head with an excited look on his face: "Mr. Chairman! It's a great honor to meet you again. ”

Li Qingye smiled and said, "Didn't bother you, right?" ”

Sen Shangzhe shook his head: "No, I'm just not very satisfied with a few of these details, just let them refine it once." ”

Li Qingye looked at the hull in the cultivation pool: "Is this the Hidden Dragon?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Chairman." Mori replied immediately.

This ship is the heart of the Abyss Project.

Considering that a nuclear explosion could not attack targets at depths under the sea, especially those in the ultra-deep sea, Li Qingye asked for the design of a super-large submarine that could dive to a depth of 5,000 meters.

The Hidden Dragon came into being.

This model has an underwater displacement of 200,000 tons and is equipped with four thorium-based molten salt reactors with a power generation of 200 megawatts.

The depth of the dive is 5000 meters, the ultimate depth of the dive is 6200 meters, the normal underwater speed is 14 knots, and the ultimate speed is 24 knots.

The crew has a crew of 1,273 and can accommodate 2,400 passengers, or 24,000 passengers in emergency dormancy.

It is equipped with an emergency life support system, a quasi-surface environment chamber, a seabed resource collection system, a seawater filtration system, a food synthesis system, and a super-capacity database.

The Hidden Dragon can dive for months without having to surface.

Moreover, the Qianlong can also stop directly on the seabed of the seabed, and then activate the mimic seaweed camouflage system, disguised as reefs and seamounts.

"Since we have a large number of submarine monitoring nodes in the Pacific Ocean and the Ceylon Ocean, the probability of being detected by America is very low, so I designed only four torpedo tubes," Mori told him. ”

"Well, the Hidden Dragon didn't exist to fight, just have the ability to defend yourself."

"However, torpedo tubes can also launch missiles, but they need to float close to the surface of the sea. ”

Li Qingye didn't pay much attention to this.

As a doomsday submarine, the Qianlong only needs to ensure that it can survive, and everything else is secondary.

Compared to other plans, the Abyss Project is the least investment, and it is also the most cost-effective.

After all, compared to a fixed base, submarines can move constantly, and Homo sapiens' submarines can dive to a depth of five or six thousand meters, which is difficult for other forces to do.

Under normal circumstances, the nuclear submarines of the major powers can only dive to about 800 meters, and the limit is about 1200 meters.

Therefore, their supporting weapons are also specially developed for areas with a depth of more than 1,200 meters, and once the depth exceeds 1,200 meters, they are equipped with torpedoes, mines, and missiles that cannot be used.

Not to mention an oceanic black hole like the Hidden Dragon, which can dive to a depth of five or six thousand meters.

The safety at this depth is safer than in low-Earth orbit in outer space.

After all, satellites in low-earth orbit also need to worry about laser cannons, anti-satellite nuclear explosion pulse bombs, and the like.

In the deep sea, laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons have no lethality, torpedo mines, missiles, etc., are helpless in the face of the terrifying water pressure.

Don't look at the current scientific research submarines of mankind can reach the bottom of the sea at about 10,000 meters, in fact, this kind of scientific research submarine not only requires special design, the cost is also very high, and the speed is slow.

If the torpedo has to dive to five or six thousand meters, it is not that it cannot be done, but the production cost is too high, and the destructive power is very weak, and no force will study this kind of ultra-deep torpedo at all.

The Qianlong has applied many new technologies of Homo sapiens, and in terms of anti-sonar detection, it has basically reached the limit, and it is difficult to be detected by sonar.

Torpedoes and missiles, etc., need to lock on to the precise location of the other side.

Now the other party may not even be able to find the specific location of the Hidden Dragon, how to hit the Hidden Dragon? You can't rely on your sixth sense, right?

Therefore, the safety of the Abyss Project with the Qianlong as the core is the highest.

The only drawback is that the number of passengers that the submarine can accommodate is too small, even if it is a dormant type, the maximum number of passengers is 24,000.

In the entire Abyss Project, a total of 6 Qianlong-class submarines are planned to be built, which can save up to 150,000 people.

Although 150,000 people is enough to restart human civilization, it is too small compared to the current population of 800 million people of Homo sapiens.

But the reality is so cruel.

If that day really comes, the 6 Hidden Dragons will be the spark of civilization of Homo sapiens, and they will not participate in the war, but will be silent at the bottom of the sea.

Li Qingye didn't want these Hidden Dragons to work either, but there were some things that he couldn't decide.

After chatting with Mori for a while, the other party carefully introduced to him the various technologies used on the Qianlong and some special designs.

Li Qingye listened very carefully, interjecting from time to time to ask questions.

As a native of Dongying, Mori Shangzhe has a natural sense of crisis, which is because of the ethnic characteristics brought to them by the natural environment and social environment of Dongying.

He incorporated this sense of crisis into the design of the Hidden Dragon.

For example, if Homo sapiens loses, how to deal with it, ordinary people and new humans think that Homo sapiens cannot fail, but Mori Naozhe hypothesizes this possibility.

In the design of the Dragon, this possibility was taken into account.

A variety of special cabins are designed to simulate life on the surface, so that survivors can live on the seabed for a long time.

At the same time, a seabed mining system has been prepared, which can use seabed minerals and small parts to craft the tank inside the Qianlong to restore the industrial system of Homo sapiens.

You can even build an undersea base in the seamount with a single Dragon.

At the special request of Mori Shangzhe, the Qianlong is also equipped with a nuclear fuel storage tank, which can be used to build 20 sets of 50-megawatt nuclear fission reactors in a short period of time, or transform them into four atomic bombs with a yield of 50,000 tons.

As long as one of the Dragons survives, the Homo sapiens will not perish.

After listening to Mori Shangzhe's introduction, Li Qingye thought about how to arrange the management of these Hidden Dragons.

Obviously, the Qianlong cannot be assigned to the Ministry of Defense, after all, it is not a simple warship, and the Qianlong also needs special supply ports, and these ports must be kept in a high degree of secrecy to ensure that they will not be detected by other powers.

At the same time, these secret supply ports are also a vacation area, which is convenient for the crew to return to the surface regularly to recuperate.

In addition, in the secret supply port, those staff should be family-oriented, and in case of emergency, these people can directly use the life support bag, force them into a dormant state, and then keep them in the passenger compartment of the Qianlong, and quickly transfer to the deep sea with the Qianlong.

After some thought, Li Qingye decided to set up a crisis emergency office in the internal logistics department to be responsible for managing these Qianlong.

In addition, those tiered cities and the like are also assigned to the internal logistics department for unified management.

In addition to the Guigong project managed by the Ministry of Space, other emergency and evacuation facilities are under the unified management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because the new human beings are very united internally, there is no need to engage in internal checks and balances like other forces, otherwise the decentralized management of so many projects will increase the management cost, and at the same time, it will also lead to the difficulty of integrating resources.

And in the event of an emergency, decentralized management will only lead to silos, unnecessary trouble, and even internal divisions.

Therefore, Li Qingye plans to package these projects and hand them over to the internal logistics department to manage.
