The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 445 Submarine-launched D-bomb

Huang Weilu blurted out:
"What research could be more important than an atomic submarine? With your help, we will be able to build it faster!"

He really hopes that Li Mu can join.

However, Lin Fei, Wu Jinguang and Xiao Ruilin were relatively calm.

They all knew how much importance their superiors attached to Li Mu.

Apart from anything else, during today's experiment, the surrounding seas seemed calm.

However, the North Sea Fleet's one Pride-class destroyer imported from the big brother and two Type 1 frigates modeled after the big brother have already been cruising around.

Of course, this is only the arrangement closer to the Bay of Po.

Further away, there are other frigates on alert.

Any foreign fleet approaching will be detected immediately.

If they find that the enemy's target is the Gulf of Persia, they will do their utmost to stop it, even at the cost of going to war with Big Brother M Emperor.

"Professor Huang, I think Consultant Li really can't be left without him, but we can't force him!" Lin Fei said.

Wu Jinguang also said:
"That's right. Consultant Li has developed anechoic tiles and anechoic paint, and is also preparing to help us develop anti-submarine radar for testing. This has already been a great help to us!"

Although they also wanted Li Mu to stay in their hearts.

But I know that this is impossible.

The only person who could be saved by the higher-ups at the cost of going to war is probably everyone present, including them.

All of them combined are not as important as Li Mu alone.

Hearing this, Huang Weilu lowered his head in disappointment.

He had no idea what other important research Li Mu was doing.

All we know is that the fleets of Emperor M and Big Brother have been entering and leaving the country's territorial waters with impunity in recent years, disregarding the sovereignty of Xia State.

Just as Huang Weilu couldn't stop sighing.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said:
"Actually, I do have the idea of ​​doing research in the field of submarines."

"After this test, I plan to stay for a few more days to look at the development data of the atomic submarine."

"It's just that this time won't be too long, maybe only 3 or 4 days. Also, I don't know if your company can give me the permission to review it."

He wants to develop a submarine-launched D bomb.

It is impossible not to look at the current research data on Xiaguo's atomic-powered submarines.

After all, if we only have information from later generations and no actual things to refer to, we can probably only produce a submarine-launched D missile that can be built in theory.

"Yes, of course!" Huang Weilu was so excited that he almost shouted out loud.

After he finished speaking, he remembered his identity and quickly looked at the factory director Ding Xiuxun standing beside him.

The latter was startled and immediately reacted, saying:

"If you want to see it, you can go in now. I will apply for the formalities later!"

"No, let's follow the procedure." Li Mu waved his hand quickly.

According to the speed at which the above was being processed, he estimated that he would receive a reply tonight, so there was no need to break the rules.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you." Ding Xiuxun said decisively.

……

While everyone was talking.

The celebrating crowds around gradually calmed down.

On the contrary, Lin Fei, Huang Weilu and others couldn't help but feel happy when they learned that Li Mu was planning to research anti-submarine radar.

Although we have anti-submarine radar, it does not pose a direct threat to enemy submarines.

However, it allows them to detect submarines that sneak into their territorial waters in a timely manner.

If the plan is well planned, maybe we can catch him red-handed and teach him a severe lesson.

……

Here, the test of the Type 033A submarine has just been completed.

The big brother on the other side also learned the news that Li Mu secretly set out from Kyoto and headed for the Bay of Bo.

Upon receiving the information.

Big Brother's intelligence department is still quite cautious.

After all, Emperor M has already suffered a great loss because of intelligence issues.

Even their intelligence personnel were affected and many were arrested.

But be cautious.

At least we still have a relatively complete intelligence network.

They have made some progress in their investigation of the "River Map" and "Heavenly Works".

The first thing that can be confirmed is that both Hetu and Tiangong should be a team.

It’s not clear who the leader is, but at least it’s a team.

After all, the product output speed of the two is really too amazing.

If it weren't for a team, it would be hard to imagine that normal humans could achieve such a level - to produce a large number of scientific and technological achievements in a short period of time, and they are far ahead of the world.

Secondly, it is the relationship between Li Mu, Hetu and Tiangong.

They believe that there must be some connection between the three.

Although Emperor M has suffered a great loss in this regard.

But this does not affect their judgment.

After all, Li Mu himself is a very famous scientist in Xia Country.

Even if there is no direct connection with the River Chart and the Heavenly Works, there may be an indirect connection.

At least he must have participated in the research projects of both, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to be put forward as an open shield.

This view has gained support from many people.

General Ilyaslav was one of them.

He stood in the office of Ilyich, the head of the intelligence department, and listened to his report. He became more determined in his thoughts and said:

"Continue the investigation and make sure to find out all of Li Mu's actions."

Hearing this, Ilyich shuddered quietly and suddenly thought of the miserable situation of the intelligence department of the M Empire.

to be frank.

Although some people think that Li Mu is suspicious.

But more people think that this is more likely a trap set by the Xia Kingdom.

After all, there is no normal scientist who can conduct research across so many fields at the same time.

Take Li Mu’s last trip to Fengtian for example.

The intelligence they obtained was that the other party not only set up a joint research center for software engineering there.

It also solved the problem of developing two of the nine large sets of equipment that Xia Guo wanted to produce, a 3-ton die forging hydraulic press and a 12500-ton horizontal extruder.

Is this reasonable?

This is definitely unreasonable. It took this talent only a short time to come up with two large sets of equipment.
What a liar!
"General, don't worry, we will get to the bottom of it and will never let you down," said Ilyich.

Even though he complained in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

After all, I heard that the general got angry and kicked the butt of the president of the National Academy of Sciences who was in his 50s or 60s.

He doesn't want to enjoy this treatment.

"Okay, I believe you, Ilyich, and I also believe that our country's powerful intelligence department will be able to get to the bottom of this matter." General Ilyaslav said with satisfaction.

At least the intelligence department's progress is good, and they have found out a lot of information.

It’s not like the National Academy of Chinese Studies.

They receive the best treatment, use the best equipment, and gather the most talented people, but they still haven't developed a computer that can perform 100 million calculations per second.

No, when he thought of this, he felt angry.

If he hadn't been criticized by the higher-ups for kicking the old dean in the ass last time, he would have kicked him again no matter what.

……

Baltic Shipyard.

The cafeteria was crowded with people.

Completed the test.

Of course, a celebration banquet is indispensable.

Although it remains to be verified.

But the experimental results of the Type 033A submarine still encouraged everyone.

It gave everyone hope - the hope of the rise of the Xia Kingdom's navy.

Perhaps now they are unable to compete with the powerful fleet of Emperor M and Big Brother.

But sooner or later, they will do it all.

……

In the center of the crowd sat three naval generals: Lin Fei, Wu Jinguang and Xiao Ruilin.

As the three highest officers of the Navy.

They should have been in the spotlight.

However, at this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Mu, who was sitting between the three of them.

Looking at that figure, every researcher's eyes could not help but reveal a hint of surprise from time to time, full of admiration and respect.

There were countless people toasting him.

But when it came to drinks, Li Mu maintained his usual attitude.

Even when Lin Fei and the other two urged him to drink, he only had one sentence:

"I'm sorry, leaders."

"I won't drink anymore, just enjoy yourself."

"Alcohol affects my research state. I prefer to stay sober at all times."

Faced with his answer.

Lin Fei and the other two were stunned for a moment, then they decisively put down their glasses and said:
"In that case, let's not drink. We can celebrate with tea instead of wine."

Seeing this, Ding Xiuxun, Huang Weilu, Zhao Renkai and others around them put down their wine glasses at the same time, saying that they would just drink tea instead.

"You don't have to do this. This is just my personal habit. You can drink when you want. I feel embarrassed to do this." Li Mu said quickly.

But no matter what he said, no one was willing to pick up the glass.

Huang Wei Road:

"Advisor Li, you don't have to say anything. I think the leaders are right. We can celebrate by drinking tea, not alcohol."

"And we can also take this opportunity to talk about research."

"Since you plan to research atomic submarines, which direction will you focus on?"

After he finished speaking.

Lin Fei and others immediately looked at Li Mu, looking forward to his answer.

After all, the research on atomic submarines is also divided into many parts.

Atomic power plants, ship design, propulsion systems, navigation and detection systems, and weapon systems.

These five parts are roughly their current research groups.

Since Li Mu doesn’t have enough time, it is impossible for him to study all of them, so he can only choose one.

So which one to choose becomes their biggest concern.

"My initial idea is to develop weapons and research a submarine-launched missile." Li Mu was silent for a moment, then said.

Hear his answer.

Huang Weilu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said in a lost voice:

"Submarine-launched D-bomb?"

Not only him. Even Lin Fei and the others were confused and almost suspected that they had heard it wrongly.

As senior naval generals, they have a certain understanding of these ships and weapons.

But it is precisely because of understanding.

They felt how incredible this answer was.

In the 60s, submarine-launched D bombs were mainly launched from nuclear submarines.

The only exception was the test launch of the USS M-1 Polaris A submarine-launched missile.

But only Emperor M would do this.

The actual cost-effectiveness is not high, it can even be said to be very low.

Because nuclear submarines usually use a vertical launch method to launch submarine-launched missiles, using a gas generator to generate high pressure to throw the missiles out of the water.

This method is covert and efficient.

The horizontal launch method used by conventional powered submarines also has unique technical advantages.

But in terms of concealment and efficiency, it is far inferior to the former.

Of course, there is nothing good to judge about Xia Country, after all, they simply can’t figure it out.

Lin Fei swallowed his saliva and said:
"Advisor Li, why do you want to research submarine-launched D-bombs?"

"This is indeed a powerful D-bomb technology."

"But we only have conventional-powered submarines now. Even if we had them, I'm afraid it would be difficult to compete with Emperor M and Big Brother."

His words expressed the thoughts of most people.

Is the submarine-launched D bomb any good?
The answer is beyond doubt.

But the problem is also very obvious.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be researched or not.

Even if they have figured it out, it would probably be hard to beat Emperor M and Big Brother who have been researching this for many years.

Take the launch distance for example.

The Xia Kingdom imitated its big brother RAT-52 torpedo and developed the Yu-2 torpedo, which has a range of only 5000 meters, a speed of only 40 knots, and can only be dropped from the air.

As for the anti-ship D missile, they haven't even managed to copy it yet.

On the M side, the torpedo launching distance used by submarines has generally reached between 10 and 15 nautical miles.

Anti-ship D missiles have already exceeded the range of 1600 kilometers and the speed has exceeded Mach 2, such as the "Tiens" II cruise D missile.

"I originally planned to use the submarine-launched D bomb on atomic submarines when I studied it, because I believe that atomic submarines alone are far from enough," said Li Mu.

Of course he knew the gap between Xiaguo and the M Emperor and Big Brother in terms of submarine-launched D missiles.

But he knew better that nuclear-powered submarines alone could not change the current situation of Xia's naval weakness.

Take the first successfully developed atomic submarine of Xia country in the future as an example.

What was produced in the 70s was equivalent to the level of Emperor M in the early 60s.

Moreover, its main equipment is still torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, and there are no submarine-launched missiles.

"Why do you say that? With nuclear-powered submarines, we can at least maintain our territorial waters," Huang Weilu asked doubtfully.

Li Mu explained:
"No, it's a big mistake to think so. We can't always be in a passive position."

"An atomic submarine equipped with torpedoes and anti-ship D-bombs cannot turn us from passive to active."

"Without the corresponding weapons, we cannot pose an effective threat to Emperor M and Big Brother. We can only sit back and watch them continue to provoke us."

After he finished speaking.

Lin Fei suddenly slapped the table, stood up and said:

"Advisor Li is right. We must take the initiative!"

"Emperor M's evil ambitions are obvious. Passive defense is definitely not a long-term solution!"

"And the transport captain has been harassing the islands in the South China Sea frequently. If we don't give him a head-on blow, he might actually occupy the island one day."

His words made Wu Jinguang and Xiao Ruilin nod frequently, obviously agreeing with him.

Although the Xia Kingdom currently mainly adopts a near-shore defense strategy.

But everyone knows that this is a last resort.

Sooner or later, they will fight back.

Of course, they haven't figured out how to fight back yet.

"If we can develop a submarine-launched D bomb, there will be no problem in dealing a heavy blow to the transport captain, and it will also make Emperor M and Big Brother uncomfortable." Li Mu said with a smile.

in his plans.

It is necessary to show force to Emperor M and Big Brother by beating the transport captain.

After all, at this point in time, there are still many small-scale conflicts between the two sides.

Go and beat them, there's absolutely no problem.

As for whether Emperor M will "settle accounts" with them after the fight.

That depends on how far and how accurate his submarine-launched D missile can hit.

As long as Xia Country has the possibility to destroy the aircraft carrier.

It is highly likely that Emperor M's fleet will just stroll around outside the territorial waters.

Instead of actually bringing the fleet in.

After all, they are not stupid and it is impossible for them to suffer heavy losses for the sake of the transport captain.

Hearing what Li Mu said.

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "It may be difficult to make Emperor M and Big Brother uncomfortable."

"Yes, you may not understand the gap in naval strength between us and Emperor M and Big Brother. To be honest, it is indeed difficult to win at the moment." Wu Jinguang also said.

His voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.

After all, these words may help to boost others' morale and undermine one's own prestige.

Huang Weilu opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Xiao Ruilin on the side interrupted and said:
"Advisor Li, since you said that, you must have your own judgment. Why don't you tell us so we can discuss it together?"

Hearing this, Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said:
"The overall strength gap, of course I am very clear about this."

"And I also know that it will be difficult for us to make up this gap in a short period of time."

"But there's no need for us to confront them head-on. As long as we can produce a submarine-launched D-bomb that can directly threaten the safety of their aircraft carriers, it will be enough to make them uncomfortable."

Hear his explanation.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Li Mu continued:
"Take an atomic submarine as an example. Its underwater stay can be up to one to two months, or even longer."

“With the implementation of anechoic tiles and anechoic paint, we can completely arrive at a concealed position stealthily and provide deterrence.”

"As long as they can't detect our submarines, they won't dare to show up easily."

A submarine that can appear from anywhere at any time and carry atomic energy that is enough to threaten the safety of aircraft carriers is definitely a nightmare for Emperor M and Big Brother's fleet.

"It's a good idea, but what if Emperor M gets pushed into a corner and starts fighting us directly?" Lin Fei said.

After saying this, he seemed to feel that what he said was not appropriate, and added:

"I'm not afraid of them, but it's very difficult for us to win a direct battle, especially at sea."

"They won't, because we will soon have our trump card, and this trump card can also be used on submarine-launched D bombs." Li Mu said with a smile.

If there were no big mushrooms in Xia Country.

Then if Emperor M is forced into a corner, he might really take some action.

But when they have big mushrooms, they won't do it casually.

What's more, when that day comes, in addition to the submarine-launched D bomb equipped with a large mushroom warhead.

The Weilong-1 fighter and Xuanwu-1 main battle heavy tank should also be not far from success.

——When the M-1 fighter jet flew over the west coast of the M Empire, he believed that both the M Empire and Big Brother would remain calm.

"The trump card, could it be?" Huang Weilu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Ding Xiuxun, Zhao Renkai and Li Yichuan are in a similar situation.

As submarine researchers, they certainly knew the significance of that thing very well.

Almost immediately, I thought of the weapon that changed the history of war - the big mushroom.

"No wonder, no wonder you said it was enough to deter M and Big Brother, it turned out to be that one!" Ding Xiuxun's tone was full of disbelief.

After saying this, he looked at Li Mu inquiringly, fearing that he might have misunderstood.

After all, if it is about giant mushroom research, then it is definitely a secret among secrets.

Don't say he's just the director of a shipyard.

I'm afraid even Lin Fei and the other two would have no way of knowing this news.

And in fact.

Lin Fei, Wu Jinguang and Xiao Ruilin really had no idea, so they didn't react for a while. They thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.

"What is it? Consultant Li, please stop trying to sell me out and just tell me directly." Lin Fei said.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and whispered:

"I can't tell you this directly. I can only tell you leaders that this thing is not only owned by Emperor M, but also by Big Brother."

"And Emperor M is very generous."

"I gave two to Xiao Zi before, and it made quite a big fuss."

His words were almost a direct statement.

Unsurprisingly.

Lin Fei and the other two immediately came to their senses.

Isn't that...

They all looked at Li Mu at the same time, and when the latter nodded slightly, they finally confirmed it.

Lin Fei and the other two were all filled with emotion and said:
"If this is true, then our country will soon be able to stand up straight!"

……

The celebration banquet lasted until 8 o'clock in the evening before it finally ended.

However, after everyone finished their meal, no one was in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he looked with curiosity at Li Mu and others who were suddenly surrounded.

The celebration banquet was just beginning.

There are also people who can go over to toast and find a chance to talk to Li Mu and become familiar with him.

But halfway through the journey, everyone who passed by ended up returning empty-handed.

This performance makes it hard not to be curious.

Of course, even if they were curious, no one thought of going over to listen.

After all, they are still clear about the confidentiality regulations.

Although you won't be treated as a spy if you get close to him, you will still be punished by copying the regulations ten times.

Fortunately, this does not hinder their discussion.

Zhou Yongmao looked in the direction of Li Mu and said to his colleague beside him:
"I think Advisor Li and the leaders must be talking about some important research, so we can't get close."

"That's impossible, Professor Zhou. Consultant Li has only been here for a short time and he has already taken out the sound-absorbing tiles and paint. What else?" said a young male researcher.

Except for him.

There were also many young researchers with disbelief written all over their faces.

After all, if it were them, research like anechoic tiles and anechoic coatings would probably take them many years to come up with.

It was already amazing that Li Mu could bring two at a time.

besides?

This is obviously impossible.
