Chapter 412 095 Nuclear Submarine

   Ma Teng was very happy to be praised by Qin Tao.

   After all, what is in front of you is Mr. Qin, the most famous entrepreneur in the whole country, who would not give a thumbs up when you mention Mingzhou Group? Speaking of Mr. Qin's fortune-telling experience, it will become the driving force for many people to move forward. Mr. Qin can bring a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy to the current scale, which is a unique miracle!

  "President Qin, are you willing to invest in this project?" Ma Teng said excitedly: "As long as you are willing to invest, I can let you own 49% of the shares in this project!"

   Under Ma Teng's expectant eyes, Qin Tao shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this project."

not interested? Ma Teng was immediately splashed with cold water. Hearing Qin Tao's praise, he thought that this was the end of the matter. Unexpectedly, President Qin didn't plan to pay?

"Why?"

"A few years ago, 2G communication technology was born in Europe. The mobile phones we use now belong to the product of the 1G era and will be eliminated soon. As for pagers, they will also be eliminated in recent years. "Qin Tao said: "So, although your idea is very good, but you chose the wrong person. Therefore, I am not optimistic about this project."

  Qin Tao lamented that Ma Teng connected the Internet and mobile terminals, but Qin Tao is not optimistic about pagers, because the era of pagers will soon pass, and this kind of thing is short-lived and will disappear in the long river of the world.

  "President Qin, even if pagers are eliminated, this mobile Internet terminal will still be of great use." Ma Teng continued: "President Qin, I think it will have a bright future if it continues to develop."

   "Okay, young man, you have great ideas, and I support you spiritually." Qin Tao patted Ma Teng on the shoulder, and then walked outside.

   "President Qin, President Qin!"

  In Ma Teng's eyes, the light of hope disappeared. He was creative, but he didn't have the money to realize his idea. He had to find an investor.

Since it doesn't work here, then he will go to another place to try. He must turn this idea into reality. On the day he succeeds, he will bring it to Mr. Qin to see him and let him know that he once missed himself. What a mistake!

   Ma Teng clenched his fists.

  "Boss Qin, that Ma Teng's ambition is too great." After he came out, Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao: "You deny that his project is correct. You can't deal with such a person."

  Qin Tao became curious: "How do you know that he has great ambitions?"

   "We contributed money, and he contributed. As a result, he only gave us 49% of the shares. He has a strong desire to control and wants to be the leader in everything. Of course, we can't agree."

Qin Tao smiled. After following him for a long time, Xu Zhengyang really saw a lot of things. However, Qin Tao refused Ma Teng because the pager business was already a sunset industry. to touch.

  If we do it now, it will take one or two years to develop the technology, and then it will take another one or two years to roll out the market, and then what? Before making money, pagers were eliminated by 2G mobile phones that can send text messages!

  I have already made it clear that if this Ma Teng wants not to hit the south wall and not look back, then I have nothing else to say.

   "Mr. Qin, if I meet someone who comes to ask for investment in the future, can I just refuse? To save your time." Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.

Qin Tao stopped, thought for a while, and then said: "Look at what they want to do. If they are engaged in industrial inventions, automation and other fields, you can let me know. If they are engaged in the Internet, then forget it." .”

In every era, there will be opportunities in every era. If you seize this opportunity, you will become a leader of the era. The next Internet will make a group of people prosperous. However, Qin Tao is not interested in these, there is a goose The factory is enough. He still wants to focus on business.

These are some small things in the third design office. At the end of November, the heads of the third design office of Mingzhou Group: Kvasha, Krasnopolsky, Mr. Zhao who came to assist, and Qin Tao They came to the capital together, and in the conference room of the Yellow Building, they started a report.

  Before this, the navy already knew some submarine design data, but they didn't know the specific structure, so everyone attached great importance to this meeting.

   Those who came to attend the meeting were not only people from the Navy, but also veterans of domestic submarine design, Mr. Peng and Mr. Huang. These two sat on the rostrum with mixed feelings.

Nuclear submarines are a national-level project. In order to build the first-generation nuclear submarines, the country coordinated more than 2,000 manufacturers, including more than 200 key manufacturers. The efforts of the nuclear submarine were built.

  At present, Mr. Peng and Mr. Huang are still working **** the second-generation nuclear submarine. The first nuclear submarine is ready to start construction. However, compared with the design plan of Mingzhou Group, it is simply scum!

They felt disappointed, but also excited, because they knew that the confrontation at sea a month ago was caused by the poor performance of their own submarines. If they could produce world-advanced nuclear submarines, the naval fighters would be even more excited. With ease.

   It's just that they have to be responsible for the checks. The era of how bold people are and how productive the land is has passed. They can't be too ambitious and finally build castles in the air!

   "Everyone is here, let the Mingzhou Group introduce to us the nuclear submarine they designed." The leader who presided over the meeting said.

  In order to avoid suspicion, Wu Shengli sat directly below, not on the rostrum at all.

"First of all, we would like to invite our chief designer, Kwasha, to introduce the overall design of the submarine to you. Due to time constraints, we did not make a model, so you can only look at the design drawings." Sitting there, Qin Tao said: "Of course, Because Kvasha’s Chinese is still not good enough, I will translate for you.”

  Kwasha stood up, straightened his collar, and walked up.

   "Everyone, it is a great honor to stand here and introduce to you the 095 submarine designed by the third design office of Mingzhou Group."

  The slideshow starts to play, and the first one is the overall design drawing. You can see that the words 095 are clearly written on it.

  Wu Shengli below couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. This Qin Tao, no matter when, would do some tricks ingeniously.

  The domestically produced nuclear submarines are still kept secret and cannot be accessed by the Mingzhou Group. However, Western countries will always try to steal information and then publish it.

  For example, the code name of 091 has already been known by NATO.

  Next is 093, 093 used to be 095, but Qin Tao actually directly called the project of their design department 095, what does this mean? Tell everyone, the products designed by Mingzhou Group are the most advanced!

   (Looking at a lot of information, it is said that the first 09 is an Arabic numeral, and the last digit is a Roman numeral. However, it is too troublesome to type that thing. Many materials are conventionally used for all Arabic numerals, so we will not bother with this.)

"What's behind the command tower?" Some people have already asked questions at this time. This number is more or less secondary. The Mingzhou Group wants to play word games by themselves, and it's up to them. However, this design drawing looks very strange. !

"Everyone, I understand your feelings at this time, but please don't interrupt our chief designer's speech." Qin Tao could only stop these people's actions: "We will naturally explain your questions. "

   How rude!

  After Qin Tao said a word, everyone was dumb, and continued to listen to Kvasha's introduction and Qin Tao's translation.

   "First of all, let's talk about the command tower. Above the command tower is a brand new photoelectric mast."

   "What, an optoelectronic mast? What is this?"

  In the 1990s, the photoelectric mast was definitely a tall existence.

  If a submarine wants to observe the outside world, it must have a periscope. During World War II, the periscope has been widely used. It only exposes the eyepiece on the water surface, hidden in the spray, allowing the captain to observe the target and then attack the enemy.

However, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. Soon, the surface naval forces have advanced shipborne helicopters. The radars on them are designed to detect periscopes and snorkels. Therefore, even if a submarine uses a periscope, it will face many dangers. .

  Photoelectric mast came into being.

"The surface of this kind of mast has a special stealth design, coupled with a wave-absorbing coating, which can greatly reduce the probability of being discovered. At the same time, on the photoelectric mast, it can also integrate advanced night vision devices, even at night. The clear image outside has four sides, so you don’t need to turn it, just lift it up, and you can see all the surroundings clearly.”

When Kvasha said these things, he was quite proud. These were all proposed by Mr. Qin. Moreover, after the design was implemented, he still felt very good. He didn’t feel it before, but when this kind of thing was designed, It felt so scientific.

   "However, we don't have a supporting factory for this kind of photoelectric mast at all!" Someone put forward an opinion.

   "Everyone, please don't interrupt our introduction." Qin Tao can only maintain order again, and it's not yet time for questions and answers!

"We know that the traditional periscope needs to penetrate the submarine's conning tower, and the submarine's control room must also be located directly under the submarine enclosure. These photoelectric masts do not need to penetrate the submarine's pressure-resistant hull, and transmit the data, which will be more secure, which includes high-resolution cameras, light enhancement and infrared night vision sensors, infrared laser rangefinders, electronic support and countermeasures, and satellite communication antennas and so on.”

   Just a mast, Kwasha has been introduced for a long time.

  In the past, it was called a periscope, but not a mast, because it used to be raised and lowered, and it was very thick, and it was an optical device. Now this thing is directly poked on the top of the submarine. It is not like a periscope at all, but similar to a mast.

  If this kind of submarine is driven out, once it is spotted visually, it can be recognized immediately by experienced intelligence personnel.

After Kvasha finished introducing the mast, he continued down and began to introduce the conning tower. The advanced electronic equipment inside can greatly reduce the work intensity of the crew and reduce the dependence on the crew. Therefore, the personnel deployed inside the submarine will also Then decrease.

  At this time, Wu Shengli seemed to understand something, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he continued to watch Kwasha's introduction.

"In addition to the large bow sonar of the submarine, we will also install a sonar base array on the side of the submarine. In this way, even if the towed sonar is not released, our submarine also has powerful detection capabilities to meet the needs of underwater operations. .”

  Everyone also recovered from the shock at the beginning, needless to say photoelectric mast, combat command system, sideboard sonar array, these things, our side does not have them!

  Although they have provided them with the advanced domestic submarine technology, it is obvious that they are not satisfied. Their PPT project is to be high-end.

"Next, let's introduce the vertical launch tube at the back. This part is temporarily reserved. In the future, with the emergence of advanced anti-ship missiles developed by ourselves, the original 533mm torpedo tube of our submarine will definitely It is not enough, so we equipped here with an 850mm launch tube, which goes straight to the end and has a length of eight or nine meters, which will facilitate the deployment of various advanced missiles in the future.”

  The diameter is 850 mm, and the length is still eight or nine meters. What kind of advanced anti-ship missile is this? Those present were all high-ranking naval officials, but most of them didn't know that there was such a thing in their arsenal.

   "Next, our power system. This power system plans to use uranium rods with an enrichment rate of more than 93%. In this way, there is no need to replace the fuel during the entire service life of the nuclear submarine."

  When Qin Tao translated this sentence, everyone present was shocked.

   No need to replace nuclear fuel!

   This is simply incredible!

  Many people worry that countries with nuclear power plants will use raw materials for peaceful use of nuclear energy to make nuclear bombs. In fact, there is no such possibility.

  Because the concentrations of the two fuels are different.

If you want to smash all the uranium nuclei in a short time, you can only increase the concentration of uranium 235 to more than 90%, and most of the uranium mines in nature cannot be broken uranium-238, which requires a process called enrichment.

  Silly Damu couldn't make a nuclear bomb, not because there were not enough centrifuges.

  Of course, this is not the only way. If there is no centrifuge, value-added reactors can also be used to burn uranium into plutonium, and then use chemical methods to purify it. However, nuclear powers still prefer to use uranium.

  The raw materials for nuclear reactors don’t need to reach such a high concentration, 20% concentration can be used, 40% is of course better, but 50% concentration is rarely used.

  Purification is very difficult. The further you go, the more difficult it is to purify. Therefore, as long as the nuclear reactor can be burned, it does not need to be purified to the weapon level.

  However, this brings a new problem, that is, frequent replacement of nuclear materials is required.

  The uranium 235 in the uranium rod is burnt to a certain extent, it can no longer be used and has to be replaced.

  The 20% concentration can be used for four years, the 40% concentration can be used for eight years, and the 50% concentration can be used for ten years.

  For nuclear power plants on land, this is not a big problem. The plant has already reserved space, and you can replace it at any time. But what about nuclear submarines?

  The nuclear submarine's reactor is directly wrapped in the pressure hull. If you want to replace it, you have to cut the outer steel plate!

  So, for nuclear-powered ships, changing fuel is a very complicated matter. Generally speaking, when changing, the ship will be overhauled at the same time, anyway, it will take a long time.

For example, to give one of the most mature examples in the world, the Americans have a large number of nuclear-powered ships. Their Nimitz Lincoln began to undergo overhaul when it entered the dock in 2013, and ended in 2017. The entire overhaul and refueling time In 4 years, a total of 2.6 billion US dollars was spent, half of which was used for nuclear fuel! It uses nuclear fuel with a concentration of 40%, and the purchase of nuclear fuel alone requires 800 million US dollars. Construction costs more when replacing.

  Domestic nuclear submarines are no exception. (No specific data was found. It seems that at the beginning, the fuel rods had to be replaced every four years.)

   Now, the nuclear submarine reactor designed by the third design office of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group has opened a new door for them: no need to replace fuel rods! Nuclear reactors and submarines have the same lifespan!

On the one hand, it uses nuclear materials with a concentration of more than 90%. On the other hand, it reduces the power of the nuclear reactor from 170 megawatts to 150 megawatts. The power is reduced, but the top speed of the submarine remains unchanged, and it can still sprint to more than 30 knots.

"We have added many new technologies to this nuclear reactor. For example, in a state of natural circulation, it can output 20 megawatts of power, allowing the submarine to sail silently at a speed of about 10 knots. In terms of safety, we have added Lots of innovations…”

At this time, everyone knows that the construction of this submarine will not start immediately, because many subsystems on it have to be developed, but this nuclear submarine has outlined a bright future for them: the nuclear submarine designed in this way will Will enter the world's first echelon!

   "Okay, our chief teacher Kwasha has finished the introduction. Next, if you have any questions, you can ask them."

   "Boss Qin, this submarine uses a lot of advanced technologies, but we don't have these technologies yet. How long do you plan to spend to perfect these technologies?"

  The big guys no longer raised the question just now, but are more pragmatic. They have already judged that these technologies still need to be developed, so the next step is the time for research and development.

"According to our calculations, if the budget is sufficient, it will take about five years." Qin Tao began to introduce: "Our brand new nuclear reactor will also be tested on land. Of course, in order to avoid waste, it can be built directly. into a nuclear power plant and feed into our grid to generate electricity."

  Looking at the current nuclear power plants in China, the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant has a capacity of 30 megawatts, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant has two nuclear reactors with a capacity of only 200 megawatts, and now, the reactor of a nuclear submarine has a capacity of 150 megawatts.

  So, the power of a nuclear submarine can supply a city, this is definitely not a joke.

Hearing Qin Tao's introduction, everyone frowned a little. To build a land reactor first, it would cost a lot of money. Even if it is directly converted into a nuclear power plant to generate electricity, it cannot be compared with traditional commercial nuclear power plants. In particular, how much does that concentration of enriched uranium cost?

"Mr. Qin, the suggestions you said are very good, but we must first solve the problem of raw materials. The price of enriched uranium of this purity is quite expensive. We should be able to build ten-thousand A thermal power station!"

  Even if Lao Maozi’s VM-5 nuclear reactor is copied intact, there may be accidents. After all, it is not to buy the blueprints and equipment intact for production. Who knows whether the parts produced by itself are reliable or not. What about now? A large number of modifications have been carried out, so land reactors must be used for simulation. After several years of operation, it is determined that there is no problem, so that it will be used on submarines.

   It is precisely because there are more and more changes, Qin Tao knows that this kind of nuclear reactor cannot be built immediately, so the corresponding submarine will have to be delayed for several years. In this case, it is better to design more avant-garde.

  The performance far exceeds the current 093 project, so Qin Tao simply named it 095.

   Now, for a nuclear submarine, the most important thing is the nuclear reactor technology. Even if Qin Tao proposes such a plan, it will still cost a lot of money.

  In this case, will the superior agree?

   You know, after the first-generation 091 submarine was manufactured, the superiors almost shut down the entire nuclear submarine industry. Why? It costs money. The country wants to develop its economy. The country cannot afford nuclear submarines, which are purely subsidized.

  However, if it is closed, it means that the nuclear submarine industry that has been established with great difficulty is completely lost. Therefore, after repeated weighing, the nuclear submarine industry finally started again.

   Even so, the investment is still limited.

  The nuclear reactor used in the 093 that is currently under construction is modified on the basis of the 091. I didn't dare to re-develop it with great fanfare because it was too expensive.

  Navy hopes that Mingzhou Group will give a surprise, and now it gives a big surprise, but the surprise is too big, and the navy can't handle it!

  They didn't intend to report to the superiors, because the superiors would definitely not approve, and they couldn't let the Mingzhou Group spend money, after all, this is not a small amount.

"Our first atomic bomb was detonated in 1964. Thirty years have passed. Even if we only produce one nuclear bomb a year, there are now thirty. The first ten nuclear bombs should all be in the It’s time for elimination, these nuclear bombs need to be dismantled and the nuclear materials on them need to be disposed of, so it’s better to just make uranium rods and stuff them into the nuclear reactor for us to burn.”

  Qin Tao's words immediately made everyone's eyes shine.
