Chapter 1159 The Lost Six Years

"The best way to deal with submarines is with submarines~!"

How to counter it? Currently, domestic submarine experts can only give this answer.

Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, fighter planes and depth charges are the tools used to force a submarine to surface after its underwater position has been determined.

But how to determine its underwater location, whether it is tens of meters deep, hundreds of meters deep, or thousands of meters deep? It can only be found by relying on its own kind.

"I suggest that we develop nuclear-powered submarines, starting with homeland defense. We have a long coastline, and we need to find a way to prevent their submarines from approaching~!"

"I agree. Our current technical reserves are still slightly insufficient. We can first research offshore defense nuclear submarines to detect and destroy targets. This type of nuclear submarine that can launch missiles is too dangerous. Even if we can't destroy it, we have to prevent them from approaching our coast~!"

Submarine-hunting nuclear submarines are commonly known as attack nuclear submarines in later generations, but in this era, the distinction is not very clear.

No matter what, we must try our best to drive away these eight missiles. At least, they cannot hover around our doorstep. It is a normal idea to seek benefits and avoid harm.

It is eight or nine meters high and more than one meter wide. From its size, it is not difficult to see that it is a weapon with a long range. Eight missiles fired at the same time can even destroy eight cities. It is chilling to think about it.

Director Fan did not say anything, but asked the experts to discuss the matter among themselves first. Then he waved his hand after Comrade Xiao Bao brought over the noodles prepared by the kitchen team.

"Eat first, and discuss while you eat. Are you all hungry?"

Director Fan himself has not actually decided on the specific model of submarine. Our path to independence and self-reliance is somewhat bumpy and difficult.

After all, the atomic bomb had just been successfully exploded. Before that, let alone submarines, we couldn't even produce a few warships independently, and we had no experience at all.

He also wanted to make a nuclear submarine that was the same as the toy, or even exactly the same, in one go. However, the miniaturization of atomic reactors, ballistic missiles, and atomic weapons were all within reach as soon as he opened his eyes.

The technology of the Da Piaoliang is advanced and can reduce the size of the missile to nine to ten meters. The Dongfeng-2 that we tested some time ago was over meters high, which could not be stuffed in at all.

If a 21-meter missile could be stuffed in, the submarine's displacement would undoubtedly be over 10,000 tons. Now it seems unrealistic.

Not to mention how to launch a 21-meter missile underwater, this is technically very difficult to achieve.

"At present, it seems that removing the underwater missiles from the hull can reduce the size of the submarine, and the space saved should be suitable for our own reactor. Moreover, there will be a lot of room to spare~!"

The experts ate noodles, looked at the toys, and simulated the size in their minds. After removing the underwater missile cabin, the space saved was just right.

In this way, the road to nuclear submarines will undoubtedly be much simpler, and even not complicated. The probability of technical realization will be greatly increased, which is equivalent to overtaking on a curve.

"I calculated that the center of gravity might be biased to the back, and some equipment needs to be loaded in the front, otherwise, it will not be able to maintain relative balance in the water~!"

Another middle-aged man in a navy uniform, with his mouth full of noodles, wiped his mouth hastily and continued the conversation. He knew the volume and weight of the current domestic civilian reactors. The volume was enough, but the weight exceeded.

If the rear of the submarine is too heavy, it will tilt underwater. It's a simple reason. Once the propeller turns, it will send itself to the surface. "Load a few more torpedoes. One of the 53-51 weighs about 1.8 tons. After all, it is a homeland defense type. The more weapons it carries, the higher the probability of error tolerance~!"

The other person who was responsible for the weapon frame also gave his suggestions in a timely manner. It was just like making steamed buns. If there was too much flour, add water. If there was too much water, mix it with the flour. Then the balance between the front and the back could be controlled.

How can we say they are experts? Everyone is responsible for each section. When there is a problem as a whole, each section will offer suggestions and solve the problem. This is what cooperation looks like.

"That's almost right, but once it's launched, there's still a risk of the boat becoming unbalanced~!"

The man in military uniform silently calculated in his mind that one torpedo weighs 1.8 tons, and four of them are just enough to offset the weight of the thick lead shell.

But these four "ballast stones" are weapons, and weapons have the probability of being fired. Once they are launched, the problem still exists.

"Where are the water tanks? If the submarine wants to sink, the water tanks must be filled with water. If the volume of the water tank in the front is increased, can it maintain stability in the front and back~!"

Director Fan saw this lively scene, stared at the toy model silently, finished the noodles in the bowl, and then sighed.

"Is there really no way for us to develop a submarine that can carry missiles?"

The relationship between offense and defense is like that between a spear and a shield. No matter how strong the shield is, it can only be used for passive defense. After listening for a long time, these experts came up with their opinions.

It is still better to focus on the shield and take a defensive approach. There is nothing wrong with that. But unfortunately, if everyone ignores the spear, there may be big problems in the future.

"I also think what Director Fan said is right. Just thinking about passive defense is not a solution after all. If we build it, then the decision of whether to fight or not will be handed over to the other side. If we strike first, we will be defeated, and if we strike later, we will be defeated. If we choose the simpler way because the other way is more difficult, then isn't this irresponsible to our country and nation~!"

The young man, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but interrupt what those people were saying.

"But, Comrade Huang, how can this be called irresponsible? We have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. We have never had any experience in designing and building submarines. To adopt nuclear power instead of conventional power is like eating a big meal. Director Fan may not understand it deeply enough, but don't you, a little expert, understand it?"

Each person has his own reasons. In fact, everyone present is considering the country and crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is normal to have arguments, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same opinion.

"Xiao Huang is a young man, and his words may be a little sharp, but he has the right to speak. To be honest, his ideas are also my ideas. In the past few years, I have not been idle. I have studied domestic and foreign information. The development of foreign submarines has begun to move away from the role of anti-ship and anti-submarine, and has begun to take on more offensive deterrence tasks~!"

"Just like the toy we see now, the United States had already launched it a few years ago. We are now researching defensive nuclear submarines. Will we follow their old path? When we turn around and develop missile nuclear submarines, we will be far behind!"

Difficulties, starting from scratch, difficulties are everywhere, but because of the difficulties, I choose to take an easy way. Director Fan doesn’t know if it is appropriate to reply to Mr. Nie and the higher authorities in this way.

Of course, no matter which path we choose, we will have full support from above. However, Director Fan is a little unwilling to accept this!

When the dream just started six years ago, if I had chosen like today, it would definitely be the national defense type, simple, easy to use, and would produce results quickly, and I would be able to give an explanation to the country.

But now it is six years later, and the world has moved towards ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Are we going to go back and study what we did six years ago? ?

I'm not willing to accept this!
