Chapter 359 Hidden Dragon in the Yuan (Happy New Year)

"Dr. Sen, long time no see."

Sen 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, "I'm not disturbing you, right?"

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

Li Qingye looked at the hull in the breeding tank: "Is this the Qianlong?"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman." Sen Shangzhe replied immediately.

This ship is the core of the Qianyu Project.

Considering that nuclear explosions cannot attack targets deep under the sea, especially targets in ultra-deep seas, Li Qingye requested the design of a super-large submarine that can dive to a depth of 5,000 meters.

Qianlong 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 diving depth is 5,000 meters, the ultimate diving depth is 6,200 meters, the normal underwater sailing speed is 14 knots, and the ultimate speed is 24 knots.

It has a crew of 1,273 and can accommodate 2,400 passengers, or 24,000 passengers in emergency sleep mode.

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

Qianlong can submerge on the seabed for several months without needing to surface during the entire process.

Moreover, the Qianlong can also park directly on the seabed and then activate the mimic seaweed camouflage system to disguise itself as reefs and seamounts.

Sen Shangzhe introduced to him: "Since we have a large number of undersea monitoring nodes in the Pacific and Ceylon Oceans, the possibility of being discovered by America is very low, so I only designed four torpedo launch tubes."

"Well, the Qianlong was not designed to fight in the first place. It only needs to be capable of self-defense."

Sen Shangzhe added: "However, torpedo launch tubes can also launch missiles, but they need to float close to the sea surface."

Li Qingye didn't pay much attention to this.

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

Compared with other plans, the Qianyuan Plan has the smallest investment and is also the most cost-effective.

After all, compared to fixed bases, submarines can constantly move, and Homo sapiens submarines can dive to a depth of five to six kilometers, which is difficult for other forces to achieve.

Under normal circumstances, the nuclear submarines of the major powers can only dive to about 800 meters, with the limit being about 1,200 meters.

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

Not to mention oceanic black holes like Qianlong that can dive to a depth of five to six kilometers.

The safety at this depth is safer than 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, and torpedoes, mines, missiles, etc. are helpless in the face of the terrifying water pressure.

Regardless of the fact that humankind's current scientific research submarines can reach the bottom of about 10,000 meters, in fact, such scientific research submarines not only require special design, but are also very expensive and slow.

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

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

Torpedoes and missiles all need to lock onto the opponent's precise position.

Now the opponent may not even be able to find the specific location of the Qianlong. How to attack the Qianlong? You can't rely on your sixth sense, right?

Therefore, the Qianyuan Plan with Qianlong as its core has the highest security.

The only drawback is that the number of passengers the submarine can accommodate is too small. Even for dormant passengers, the maximum number is 24,000.

The entire Qianyuan Project plans to build a total of 6 Qianlong-class submarines, which can save up to 150,000 people.

Although 150,000 people are enough to restart human civilization, compared to the current 800 million employees of the Homo sapiens company, it is too few.

But the reality is so cruel.

If that day really comes, the six Qianlongs will be the spark of civilization for the Homo sapiens company. They will not participate in the war, but remain silent on the seabed.

Li Qingye didn't want these Qianlong numbers to work, but there were some things he couldn't decide.

After chatting with Sen Shangzhe for a while, the other party carefully introduced to him the various technologies used on the Qianlong, as well as some special designs.

Li Qingye listened very carefully and interrupted from time to time to ask questions.

As a Japanese, Mori Shangzhe has a natural sense of crisis. This is because of the racial characteristics brought to them by the natural and social environment of Japan.

He incorporated this sense of crisis into the design of the Qianlong.

For example, if the Homo sapiens company fails, how to deal with it? Many New Human employees believe that it is impossible for the Homo sapiens company to fail, but Mori Sangtetsu assumes this possibility.

This possibility was taken into account in the design of Qianlong.

Various special cabins have been designed that can simulate life on the surface, making it easier for survivors to live under the sea for a long time.

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

It is even possible to build an undersea base in a seamount with just one Qianlong.

At the special request of Sen Shangzhe, Qianlong is also equipped with a nuclear fuel storage tank. The nuclear fuel on it can produce 20 sets of 50-megawatt nuclear fission reactors in a short time, or transform it into four 50,000-ton-equivalent nuclear fission reactors. of atomic bombs.

As long as one Qianlong survives, the Homo sapiens company will not perish.

After listening to Sen Shangzhe's introduction, Li Qingye thought about how to arrange the management of these Qianlongs.

Obviously, the Qianlong cannot be assigned to the Ministry of Defense. After all, it is not a simple warship. In addition, the Qianlong also needs special supply ports, and these ports must be highly confidential to ensure that they will not be noticed by other powers.

At the same time, these secret supply ports are also vacation areas, allowing crew members to return to the surface regularly to recuperate.

In addition, in the secret supply port, the staff should be organized into family units. In the event of an emergency, these people can directly use the life-saving capsules to force them into hibernation, and then save them in the passenger cabin of the Qianlong and follow the Qianlong. The ship quickly moved to the deep sea.

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

In addition, those ladder cities and the like are also assigned to the back office department for unified management.

In addition to the Katsura Palace Project managed by the Space Division, other emergency and evacuation-related facilities are managed by the Internal Affairs Division.

Since New Human employees are very united, there is no need to engage in internal checks and balances like other forces. Otherwise, decentralized management of so many projects will increase management costs and make it difficult to integrate resources.

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

Therefore, Li Qingye plans to package these projects and hand them over to the back office department for management.
