Chapter 247: Nuclear submarine to conduct deep sea testing?
Lin Chenran rubbed his sore eyes vigorously, his gaze fixed on the figure in front of him. After confirming it again and again, a surge of shock surged in his heart - it was really him!
For a moment, Lin Chenran, unable to suppress his excitement, quickly stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly as he respectfully greeted, "Mr. Huang, hello!"
"Welcome to the 704 Shipyard to give us guidance."
The old man Huang in front of him is no ordinary person. He is the chief designer of the first generation of nuclear submarines of Yan State, and is also known as the father of Yan State's nuclear submarines.
Lin Chenran never imagined that the mysterious and top engineer mentioned by Mr. Zhang would actually be Mr. Huang.
At this time, Mr. Huang had a kind and benevolent smile on his face and responded warmly: "You are the Chenran that Mr. Zhang has been praising all the time, right? It is true that young people are to be feared."
“The waves behind push forward the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one.”
After the two sides greeted each other briefly and friendly, Lin Chenran did not dare to be negligent and quickly led everyone to the meeting room.
Along the way, Lin Chenran's mind was racing, secretly wondering why Mr. Huang and his group came to the 704 Shipyard this time.
After all, the person standing in front of him is the father of Yan Country’s nuclear submarine!
When everyone sat down, before Lin Chenran asked, Mr. Huang directly stated his purpose: "We came to the 704 Shipyard this time because we hope that the 704 Shipyard can undertake an important task."
“Design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.”
After these words were spoken, all the senior executives of the 704 Shipyard present were slightly startled, and their brows instantly frowned.
Everyone looked puzzled, obviously confused by this sudden request.
Why do we need to design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible?
Lin Chenran, who was listening quietly at the side, suddenly realized what was going on as if a flash of lightning passed through his mind after hearing these words!
He finally understood why Mr. Huang, or the entire Yan Navy, would propose such a special task to their 704 Shipyard - to design and develop a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.
Lin Chenran frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of caution and curiosity, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Huang, is our country's nuclear submarine going to conduct deep-sea testing?"
"To test its extreme performance?"
At this moment, Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang beside him couldn't help but look at each other. Where their eyes met, a hint of surprise clearly emerged.
They really didn't expect that the seemingly young Lin Chenran in front of them actually possessed such keen insight. He could quickly grasp the key to the problem just by relying on those few clues.
With a pleased smile on his face, Mr. Zhang said, "You are not simple, kid! You always surprise people!"
"I didn't expect you to be able to detect clues from such limited information. I have to admire your extraordinary keen sense of smell."
The senior executives of the 704 Shipyard nearby seemed increasingly confused.
Yan Country’s first generation of nuclear submarines was successfully delivered to the navy and put into use as early as 1974, and it has been 13 years since then.
Normally speaking, after such a long period of operation and improvement, the performance of nuclear submarines should have stabilized long ago.
But why are we suddenly conducting an extreme deep diving test on it now?
What kind of unknown secrets are hidden here?
For a moment, everyone's minds were filled with questions and speculations, and the whole scene fell into silence.
Then, Mr. Huang coughed lightly and began to explain in detail to everyone.
Although the first generation of nuclear submarines has been delivered to the navy and put into use.
But none of these nuclear submarines have undergone extreme deep diving tests.
Yan Country’s first generation of nuclear submarines were all deployed in the northern waters.
The situation in the northern waters is very different from that in the south.
The water there is not as deep as in the southern waters.
The waters in the south are bottomless.
The waters in the north are much shallower. Because of this, it was not necessary to test them at extreme depths.
In addition, the international situation at that time was extremely serious, and the country urgently needed nuclear submarines to deter countries that were eyeing it covetously.
I understand everything!
Now, as the international situation has undergone tremendous changes, Yan’s nuclear submarines can no longer just “play small tricks” in the northern waters, but need to carry out activities in all waters.
At this time, it is necessary to conduct an extreme deep diving test of the nuclear submarine.
In order to ensure the safety of this nuclear submarine's extreme deep diving test, it is necessary to have a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible with excellent performance.
If any unexpected situation occurs, this deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible can quickly and accurately find all the officers and soldiers trapped in the nuclear submarine in the bottomless and dangerous deep sea, and successfully rescue them.
The Yan State Navy must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Ensure the safety of all soldiers.
It is also necessary to establish a belief in the hearts of soldiers that even if a nuclear submarine loses control and crashes into the bottomless sea, the country can rescue them from the deep sea.
After Mr. Huang’s explanation, the senior executives of the 704 Shipyard suddenly understood.
So that's how it is. Deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles do need to be designed, developed and built.
This concerns the safety of all the submarine soldiers.
With deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles, submarine soldiers will have fewer worries and their combat effectiveness will be improved quickly.
Submarine soldiers have the hardest working job of all the military services.
It is also the most dangerous.
Not only do we have to fight the enemy with bayonets, but we also have to struggle against the bottomless deep sea.
With deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles, safety is greatly guaranteed.
Lin Chenran thought for a moment and expressed his doubts: "Mr. Zhang, how many deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles designed and developed by our 704 Shipyard have you purchased from the Navy?"
The research and development of deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles is extremely difficult, and the special composite materials used must be very strong.
The most important point is that it can withstand the impact of deep sea water pressure.
The 704 Shipyard needs to select the best special composite materials. If they are not available domestically, they will need to research them on their own.
Another point is that China has never designed, developed and manufactured a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible, so the 704 Shipyard has to cross the river with its pants down.
Deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles are very expensive to build.
A deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible can match a warship.
"This……"
"That……"
Mr. Zhang was unable to give an answer at this time.
As expected, the Yan State Navy could only purchase one to three deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles.
If there are too many of them, they will just pile up in warehouses to “collect dust” or be used for training at sea.
Deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles will only be used in specific circumstances.
That's right, that's when the submarine sinks to the bottom of the sea and needs rescue.
