After hearing his words, the messenger shook his head and replied:

"There are no more detailed instructions at the moment."

"However, in the next few days, the superiors should still issue instructions."

"At the same time, the staff of the Spark Team will also contact you to finalize the specific design plan and design standards - you don't have to worry, the new project is also based on 094A, and there is no 'total overthrow'."

"What you need to do now is to suspend the research and development of 094A and explain the situation to the scientific researchers."

".Okay, I'll do it."

Su Jishan sighed helplessly, as if complaining, or talking to himself:

"I have been engaged in scientific research for so long, and I have never seen such a radical plan. Even if it is to improve the design standards, then we should finish what we have on hand first, right?"

"Besides, the current performance of 094 is sufficient, and its counterattack capabilities are among the best in the world. We are really not in that hurry, right?"

"You also said it's the ability to fight back."

The messenger interrupted cryptically.

".I see."

Su Jishan said no more and asked instead:

"Who is the person in charge? Is the technology source still from Spark?"

"The general person in charge is you, and the source of technology is of course Spark - however, the specific research and development work still depends on your team."

"Of course I know that."

Hearing this, Su Jishan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, what he is most worried about is that this project upgrade is a decision made by some people after seeing the significant progress in aircraft carriers and destroyers.

He has personally seen many lay leaders like this. They can't even understand the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a metal reactor, and they dare to say without shame, "Isn't it just a reactor? We have built so many, how difficult can it be?"

Not difficult?

The difficulty of miniaturizing reactors is at the top level in the entire military industry, but the pressurized water reactors we use now are actually not advanced at all.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of leadership that China's military technology has indeed experienced some internal friction and waste of resources before, and its progress has been slowed down a lot.

However, now that it is confirmed that the leader is Xinghuo, this problem no longer exists.

Since Spark said they wanted to upgrade their technology, they must have prepared the technology needed for the upgrade.

What will it be?

Su Jishan couldn't help but look forward to it, and his slightly depressed mood was completely gone.

Although in his opinion, the latest model of strategic nuclear submarine 094 is indeed advanced enough, no one will refuse something better.

After seeing off the messenger, he sat back at his desk, pulled out a piece of white paper, and began to deduce the technical details that could be further optimized based on 094A.

The first is the size. According to the predetermined design standards, the size of 094A will be slightly larger than the current 094, with a surface weight of about 10,000 tons and an underwater weight of about 12,000 tons. The hull size is also about 5% larger than the 094.

The purpose of this design is not to obtain a greater diving depth, but to adapt to the Julang-2A submarine-launched ballistic missile that will be used later.

In other words, the 094A needs to maintain the current 12 bomb loads of the 094 unchanged, and replace the current Julang-2 with the stronger Julang-2A.

So, will Spark make adjustments in this area?

According to previous experience, their technological accumulation in missiles is already very strong. In just a few years, they have produced many different types of missiles.

Therefore, Julang-2 may not be their end yet.

Under the new design, future strategic nuclear submarines should carry stronger submarine-launched missiles.

Su Jishan recorded this on a white paper. According to his prediction, Xinghuo should choose a land-based ballistic missile to modify and develop a more advanced submarine-launched ballistic missile.

But he couldn't predict how strong the specific performance would be.

In addition to body size and tonnage, appearance is actually a key point that can be improved.

The first is the podium, which is often called the turtle's back.

The turtleback of the 094 is much larger than that of the 092, which destroys the submarine's linear shape and uniform distribution of water pressure. In addition, there are some large drainage holes distributed between the submarine-launched ballistic missile launcher and the submarine shell, as well as

The same drainage hole on the missile cabin can easily form turbulence during maneuvering, thereby increasing the submarine's fluid noise and seriously affecting its sonar stealth performance.

In the design of Type 094A, changes have been made in this area, and the drainage holes have been reduced a lot. However, compared with the top Western hull designs, there is still a big gap.

But to truly reach the world's advanced standards, further optimization is still needed.

Su Jishan made a note again, and then he analyzed the power system, weapon system, sonar radar system, and vibration reduction system one by one, and put forward higher requirements based on the 094A project plan.

After all the speculations were completed, Su Jishan looked at the full draft paper in front of him with satisfaction and thought to himself:

No matter how radical Xinghuo is, such a plan should be the limit, right?

After all, if you want to continue to take a step forward, it is not a question of resources and time, but a question of pure technical barriers.

In his view, even the Spark—even the Spark that has achieved incredible breakthroughs in many fields—is not so easy to break through the technical barriers of strategic nuclear submarines.

Because of this thing, there is really no way to touch anyone to cross the river.

Even pure theoretical support is very scarce in China.

In other words, strategic nuclear submarine technology has a domestic limit.

He didn't believe that Spark could break the ceiling in such a short period of time.

——

However, such thoughts had not stayed in his mind for more than two hours before they were immediately swept away by a new piece of news.

That is the latest design target document sent by Spark.

I won’t mention the more complicated ones, just look at a few core indicators.

The length of the ship is 200 meters.

Use the Julang-3 strategic submarine-launched ballistic missile with 24 rounds of ammunition.

The noise level is below 85 decibels.

The maximum self-sustaining time is 90 days.

If the data doesn't reveal too many problems, then comparing it horizontally with the Ohio class makes it very clear.

The self-sustaining force is twice that of the Ohio-class, with the same amount of ammunition, and the quietness in decibels is more than twice as high.

It can be said that in this plan, the strategic nuclear submarine called "Type 096" is aimed at the Ohio class.

Moreover, the performance is still beyond the

Su Jishan took a deep breath.

A question couldn't help but arise in his mind:

Can this thing really be made?
Chapter completed!
