Since Sun Xiaohu's fleet established a submarine base in the mountains near Lakou Port, the concealment and safety of this submarine base have been unanimously praised by the Navy. Therefore, the current submarine bases are the first choice to have rock wall cliffs.
In the coastal areas, they either looked for existing caves or dug them manually, and built many hidden submarine bases.
The current base is not a natural cave, but a man-made cave. Because the stone is hard and has sufficient load-bearing capacity, the cave is relatively large, and it takes into account both the submarine supply base, the construction base and the research center. This is also the case.
Currently, China has the largest and most comprehensive submarine base.
The submarine research base is affiliated to the Academy of Sciences, so Liu Junguo has never been here. He was very curious when he saw such a secret base. He immediately looked around, wanting to see if there were any new weapons and equipment. In a dock, it was dark.
The huge submarine half floated on the water, revealing its hideous head and a flat and smooth command tower.
Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "Wow, Holland, why did you build such a large submarine?"
Holland scratched his head and said, "This is nothing I can do about it. I also want to gradually increase the displacement of the submarine. This sudden increase in displacement will also be a great challenge to our research team, but for some reasons we have to do so."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Then you talk about the performance of this submarine first." Holland said: "The surface displacement of this submarine is 1,175 tons, underwater displacement of 1,534 tons, and endurance capacity.
It is 10,000 nautical miles on the eighth festival and 50 nautical miles on the water at 4:50 knots under the water. The power uses two large linked diesel engines, with an output power of 3,500 horsepower and two electric motors of 2,600 horsepower.
Four in front and two in the back, six five hundred and three three mm torpedo tubes, twenty-four ammunitions, one one hundred and three hundred and eighty ammunitions. Such a submarine can take on the ocean lineup
The combat mission is here.”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "You have more than doubled the Seawolf Type 1 submarine to build an ocean-going submarine to create such a large submarine?"
Holland smiled and said, "My original intention of making this kind of submarine was not for the long-distance ocean. It was just a by-product to be able to fight in the long-distance ocean."
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then tell me your original intention?"
Holland smiled and said: "At the beginning, the torpedo laboratory developed a new type of torpedo called an electric torpedo. This torpedo has no track, good concealment, fast firing speed and long range, but its only disadvantage
It is because of the large number of batteries loaded in the torpedo that it is too large to be used on small submarines like Sea Wolf Type 1.”
"Electric torpedo?" Fang Xiaoyu was very excited when he heard it. Finally, there was an efficient torpedo. He immediately asked: "How is the performance of this electric torpedo?"
Holland said: "It's great to use. Without preheating, it has a speed of twenty-eight knots and a range of four to five kilometers. If preheating, it can reach thirty knots and the range will be increased to
Five kilometers, and because of the torpedo equipped with a gyroscope, it can finally go straight."
Liu Junguo, who was standing aside, became more and more excited as he heard it: "In this way, we can kill other people's battleships quietly."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Now I know, the navy is not only a battleship. Any naval weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. As long as you master it well, your combat methods can be varied and make the enemy confused."
Liu Junguo nodded quickly. Seeing him happy, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but instruct, "Go back and train well. In the future, we will not lack good warships. What we lack are excellent officers and sailors.
"After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Liu Junguo nodded heavily again.
After Fang Xiaoyu returned, he not only ordered the order of twenty new Sea Wolf 2 submarines, but also required all cruisers and destroyers to be replaced with electric torpedoes. This order made Liu Junguo happy for several days. However, Zhao Quan's intelligence sent
Liu Junguo's brows frowned again.
"Young Master, the intelligence sent by the Intelligence Agency said that Japan has been very close to the Boston Empire recently. Bai Luoyi recently joined the Japanese naval design office, allowing them to quickly launch a new 'Fuson' class battleship, which is said to be ready to rely on
The existing three-expanded steam engine has been improved to create warships that can compete with Chinese ships. I heard that the Boston Empire provided them with artillery technology. After seeing that the two companies are going to unite, it is not good for us." Liu Junguo held his hand
The information inside reported to Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "No wonder, we have united most countries along the Eastern Ocean coast. It would be a bit abnormal if they didn't make some moves."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Although we are not afraid of the Japanese Navy, they are too close to us. If we were like the sneak attack on the Imperial Navy, we would be very likely to suffer."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "When building observation posts on Tsushima Island and Diao Island, send a few more torpedo boats and send a few Sea Wolf 1 submarines. We need to increase the warning time and not catch us off guard."
Liu Junguo frowned and said, "Young Master, we were so good before. We would fight whoever threatened us. Why are our navy and army becoming stronger and stronger now? The young master dared not go out."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The economic crisis that began last year has not subsided. The economic regression in various countries is becoming more and more serious. All countries have begun to use their arms to drive economic construction. Now is the most dangerous time, and we cannot act rashly."
Zhang Haiyang asked in confusion: "Why?"
Fang Xiaoyu gave him a vivid example: "Now our world is like a balloon. The arms races of various countries are like inflating the balloons. When the more the air is filled, the balloons will become larger and larger, and the balloon walls will be
It is getting thinner and thinner. At this time, it is time to look at endurance. Who dares to pierce the balloon with a needle first, and all the air will be discharged from that catharsis point. Do you understand?"
Zhang Haiyang was extremely proficient in military affairs and determined that the economic problems of these great powers were not very good. He shook his head and said, "Is this balloon related to our war?"
Fang Xiaoyu had to explain in depth: "I don't understand what I said. The continuous expansion of arms has only an illusion to drive the national economy. As more and more weapons and equipment are built, maintenance costs are also rising sharply, reaching that they are overwhelmed.
At the time, the only way is to consume these weapons and equipment, just like a balloon leaking the gas inside."
