As for the target of the operation, I am sorry to say that it is naturally the pirates who have troubled the people along the coast of China for nearly a year. This phenomenon has spread inexplicably and has repeatedly committed crimes.
And the results of these actions were indeed extraordinary.
After several actions, King Luo Bin was now used to it.
Yes, yes, this submarine can walk underwater.
No matter where the submarine goes underwater, no matter where it goes or what it does, it is invisible to any other warship, and it is basically impossible to see it.
If this is the case, then of all the warships in the past, no matter how powerful it is, what is there to fear? From this point of view, the several military operations during this period,
King Luo Bin felt that it didn't feel like he was going out to fight or a military operation. Instead, he felt like he had turned into a thief and set fire to the place.
The other party had no power to resist and could only wait for the men sent by the submarine to push a specially made "mini version" of the submarine filled with gunpowder under the water and approach it to detonate near their own ship.
Yes, since it is a submarine, of course it must be equipped with a torpedo. The submarine of the Tang Dynasty looks like a torpedo and is designed to be like a torpedo. Although it is made of wood, it is indeed... an out-and-out human-powered torpedo!
Although when this thing was conceived, Li Sheng was shocked when he learned about the situation, because once this thing is known to the young people of later generations, there is a high probability that they will be laughed to death.
But thinking about it on the other hand, it’s actually not impossible.
After all, the torpedoes of later generations will simply not be able to catch up with the sea-going ship because of its extremely fast speed. At the same time, there are various interception methods, but in this era, things are different.
The technical level of the Tang Dynasty was of course impossible to intercept a torpedo, even if it was man-made, because even if we did not talk about the speed or the flexibility of the man-made torpedo itself, the action of this thing was completely silent.
It is also because of this nature that the effect of the battle can be imagined. The "battle" became something that had never happened before, and became the unilateral arson of King Luo Bin, Chai Shao, and in short, these big guys.
To cause destruction.
For Luo Binwang, this naturally became an experience like that of a crazy kid. After a few days, it naturally became less passionate... As for the submarine itself, although the torpedo may look funny, the fact is,
In this era, it is impossible for any warship or army to discover this attack method or the parent submarine that projects this attack.
When a submarine is operating underwater, most of the time it doesn't even need a periscope, it only needs a compass and hydrographic data. Of course.
There are no satellites in this era, let alone the ocean exploration methods of later generations. Let alone the rocks on the seabed, you can even find the oil and natural gas in the "seabed of the seabed". Controlling the battlefield in this period can only rely on the naked eye.
People, or send people with their naked eyes to various tricky positions to observe.
For example, using airships for reconnaissance is an important method, but at least at this stage.
For any force at sea except the Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to detect the activities of submarines.
Of course, today's submarines are the most basic and lowest-level submarines. They cannot even do deep diving - the maximum diving depth is not only completely inferior to that of senior fishermen on the seaside, but is even tenths of the physical diving depth records of these senior fishermen.
Even if there is none, the submarine can only move just two or three meters below the surface of the water.
However, after all, this is a real ship that can sneak underwater.
As long as such a submarine is dispatched, even if it does not have the advanced oxygen-generating equipment of later generations, not to mention that it can stay submerged for several months like the strategic submarines of later generations. In fact, ventilation pipes still need to stick out of the water at any time like floats, and because
The only navigation equipment is a compass and a sextant, and the risk of underwater navigation is extremely high. The key...
Because only objects such as compasses can be used for navigation, Datang's submarines naturally cannot dive too deep, which leads to an oxygen problem that has not yet been solved. There is also a major problem with vision.
Once the boat dives too deep, its field of vision is completely lost, so there is no doubt that not only can this submarine not be able to dive deep, it can't even dive in shallow water for too long. It can only dive once in a while - not even every once in a while.
Float for a while!
To put it more bluntly, it means that most of the time the submarine is sailing, the periscope and vents must be exposed above the water, and the time when it can truly hide its whereabouts relatively perfectly is only a quarter of the entire sailing time.
First, this does not include the normal, daily service time of cruising and returning to the sea.
If we also include the time spent on these ordinary duties, Datang's current most advanced military technology, which is more advanced than the most advanced, only takes a quarter of the time to dive.
But even this quarter is enough to form an overwhelming advantage over any other warship at sea!
The reason is simple. Although it can't really hide its whereabouts, it can make its whereabouts confusing, and this is completely enough.
Judging from the recent military operations of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, the quarter of the stealth time is even a significant overflow at the real tactical level, because from the sea area observed with the naked eye, the sea area that can be attacked is detected, and then deployed
This attack called "human torpedo" actually does not take long...
And looking at it this way, this submarine design that Li Sheng thought was too embarrassing to be known to his classmates in his previous life was now seen by King Luo Bin.
Naturally, it is an artifact that is so powerful that it is lackluster!
This bird is invincible. If one day he retires and takes off his armor, how can he brag to the young people in his hometown about how he fought bravely to kill the enemy?
But at this time, it was obviously not the time to worry about such things. King Luo Bin shook his head, looked at Chai Shao, who still had unfinished thoughts, and said, "Father, the enemy ship has left today. We are waiting for a submarine. We cannot pursue it for a long time. We should return to the army."
That’s right.”
When he said this, King Luo Bin felt even more unhappy.
This submarine is too strong. Not only can I not "kill the enemy" with my own hands to accumulate material for bragging when I get old, I can't even "fight bravely" - your bravery is your business, but this is the most important thing in Datang right now.
If you bump into a valuable golden bump and it doesn't hurt, His Majesty will call you directly to Chang'an to tell you what it means to feel distressed.
After such a report, Chai Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then waved his hands in disappointment, "Then go back to the army first and ask the second men to check the condition of the ship."
