9oo19[o]4 Chapter 441 Navy preparations

Among the ships needed by the navy, the construction degree of submarines is second only to the speed of speedboats, which is a great benefit to the high attention of senior and even senior leaders of the Chinese Navy for a long time. After the temporary emergence of the Chinese Navy and the possession of an outlet in Guangxi, Duan Guoxuehe at that time clearly realized that in order to solve the weakness of the Chinese Navy in the short term, he could not compete with the traditional development path of surface ships like the world's powers, but to take a different approach and take an alternative development path. And the submarine, a weapon that only despised the role of submarines until World War II, all the weapons with tinted glasses were naturally entered into Duan Guoxue's future strategic development rules. As a person who has passed away from later generations, the power of such a weapon, hehe,

When Duan Guoxue School Lu Wanyang and a small number of sailors secretly went to Germany to learn submarine operations and related matters, no one of these sailors would have expected that the weapon, which could only conduct sneak attacks in the minds of Lu Wanyang and the sailors, could have such a high status in Duan Guoxue's mind.

Lu Wanyang and others had this idea in their minds. Although the submarine was born early, due to the backwardness of relevant technologies at that time, the submarine's tonnage was small, the lurking time and underwater advancement were short, and the submarine's raids and underwater attack power were not very powerful. Moreover, at that time, the naval tactics and ideas of giant cannons and giant ships had always been deeply rooted in the minds of the senior naval leaders of various countries. Not to mention submarines, even the role of aircraft carriers was questioned and ridiculed by many people.

After returning to China, in order to avoid prematurely snooping at Japan, Duan Guoxue's surface ship power was almost ineffective, and the shipyards did not have any plan to build surface ships. However, the construction and research of submarines received perverted attention and attention. From the initial imitation submarines to the improved four-type submarines, to the 44- and 444-type submarines, the development of submarines has always made underwater killers such as Lu Wanyang and others ecstatic. Because they have become more and more active in the continuous drills, this has always been underestimated by the world's great powers.

The submarines have unexpected and terrible attack power and deterrent power. Among the submarines, especially the 4444 submarines equipped by the Chinese Navy have always been quite mysterious to the outside world. The submarine's dock is semi-closed, and they can dive into the water shortly after each trip to sea to avoid possible waiters. At the same time, they also choose to sail at night when they go to sea. When sailing and sea scraping, they also try to avoid surface ships that are not your own. In this way, they also practice the submarine force's underwater evasion and concealment capabilities in disguise.

In terms of personnel, all submarine officers and soldiers signed confidentiality regulations when choosing to be a submarine officer and soldier, and did not mention the positions they worked for, submarine numbers, internal structures of submarines and various equipment. Logistics officers and soldiers involved in the management and maintenance of submarine docks also need to sign confidentiality orders, so many officers and soldiers could only say that they were ordinary sailors and did not know anything about the rest.

Therefore, after so many years, countries around the world have very little information and information that the 444 submarines can master. They can only roughly know the size of the submarine, estimate the displacement, number of crews and other surrounding information. However, they have never been able to obtain more detailed information. At the same time, even the Germans who also value the submarine force know very little about the 444 submarines. Only after the equipment purchased a small number of impact guided torpedoes produced in China, the Germans realized that their students had quietly crossed themselves, but they could not imagine that the Chinese had not broken their heads in the research and production of submarines, but were far behind them in terms of design ideas, production processes, practical use and tactics.

Since the beginning of last year, as we entered the preparation process of the upcoming war with the Western powers, the navy's expansion began to increase significantly, and all shipyards began to be able to fully produce various ships for the first time. This situation has occurred again over the years. As a well-known reason, since the navy is a large steel consumer, Duan Guoxue could not have invested his original steel production into the navy that has been consumed and has no income so far. Industrial construction requires steel, and people's livelihood construction requires steel. Even the most basic infrastructure construction also requires a large amount of steel. Although the annual steel production has been favored to the navy, this amount of steel is still insufficient for the navy that is eager to grow. It is only after Duan Guoxue gradually recovered the country, especially after investing in several large steelmaking bases, the steel production has been increased to a certain extent before the navy dared to let go and expand its strength.

What is somewhat different from the production of surface ships is that submarines have always been from several large shipyards.

born

"Five. All factories have cultivated a large number of experienced advanced skills. At the same time, they have received a lot of production experience related to submarines. Therefore, when Duan Guoxue's military expansion order was issued, the productivity of submarines was significantly enhanced like a abnormal.

Compared with the production twenty years ago or even ten years ago, the production of submarines is more like an assembly line operation. The segmented production carried out in various small shipyards not only fully utilizes the production capacity of each shipyard, but also when these segmented cabins are transported to the assembly dock, these cabins will be welded one by one in an astonishing degree. At the same time, in many production processes, the production technology, which was originally time-consuming and labor-intensive and even not high in yield, has greatly improved the production efficiency and reduced the chance of defective and waste products.

Just like the original hull pressure-resistant shell. In the past, it could only be formed in a steel mill at one time, which not only required high demands on the steel mill's production process, but also increased transportation difficulties and costs. However, now, copper factories do not need to carry out such complex production. They only need to produce high-strength steel plates with relatively single size and shape in batches. After being transported to the shipyard with high efficiency and high efficiency, these high-strength steel plates will be slowly rolled out by a huge rolling mill to a shipyard. In addition, during the rolling process, the shipyard can also adjust the bending degree and some special requirements of these steel plates by themselves, which allows the steel mill to focus more on single production of high-quality products without spending a lot of time, manpower and material resources to deal with these special steels.

In addition to large stick mills, the shipyard has also developed some other special equipment, such as when combining various cabins, which can transport various internal large components of the submarine to large elevators that are assembled inside the cabins, as well as special fixed large frame claws that need to be used for connecting each cabin. These giant equipment have been studied, designed and produced by shipyard workers and researchers themselves in the production of their own. Don’t underestimate these equipment, although they are not very good-looking or even a bit stupid. However, it is these unique auxiliary production equipment in China that makes these shipyards have unimaginable degrees and efficiency advantages in production.

These things are the crystallization of wisdom of all the workers of the shipyard over the years. They summarized their experience and taught them in production and used their rich practical production experience to solve one. In today's production process and problems that restrict production efficiency, Yang Xueyi, who is responsible for naval equipment, once proudly told Duan Guoxue: Don't look at these things inconspicuous. But with these auxiliary production processes and equipment, we are half faster in building a submarine of the same level than the Germans.

This is the experience that has been explored through long-term research and production. Duan Guoxue also knows this truth well. Just like the hanging wire technology in the Hong Kong film and television industry in later generations, this technology is the technology accumulated by Hong Kong film and television artists with decades of hard work and experience. This technology is the best played by Hong Kong film and television staff in the world. Even when film stunts people in Hollywood in the United States need to use this thing, they have to invite Hong Kong staff to guide. The accumulation of time and experience is sometimes the best foundation for efficiency and innovation.

Although the navy's expansion progress is still a bit unoptimistic, Lu Wanyang and Yang Xueyi have made a promise to Duan Guoxue. By the end of this year, when China, the United States, Britain, France and other countries start to work hard, the strength of the navy will have a great change and improvement. Now, in the dock, not only are there 30 444 submarines produced at the same time, but there are also more than a dozen 40 advanced ocean-level submarines being built and produced. By the end of this year, at least 90% of these submarines will be launched to the water for trial sailing. Due to the high production quality, these submarines are believed to be delivered to the navy for shortly after the trial sailing was launched. After Gangwang delivered two medium-sized aircraft carriers, the two submarines will be delivered to the navy for use.

Among the large shipyards, new sister ships are also in accelerating production and construction; it is worth mentioning that as escort ships of these aircraft carriers, four missile ships are doing the final equipment installation, and in a month, these missile ships will be launched to test sailing. Their addition will greatly improve the fleet's air defense and anti-ship combat strength. At the same time, these missile ships will be formulated according to new levels. These missiles with displacement of over 10,000 tons will be named Yuanda class missile cruisers. These cruisers without giant cannons will use the huge and heavy missiles on their bodies to let the world know that a new type of warship will cooperate with the aircraft carrier to become the new overlord on the ocean.
