Chapter 41: The Conception of New Weapons

How can Fan Heng not be shocked?

I am engaged in a highly confidential work. Even at home, I don’t talk about the company casually, and I don’t talk about torpedo weapons all over my mouth. Although everyone in the factory knows what their factory does, there are very few public talks about this matter. How did Fan Wubing know that he is engaged in a new torpedo?

"Who did you hear about this?" Fan Heng felt that it was necessary to figure it out. If someone leaked the news, the organization must know that there was a corresponding solution. After all, the issue of new torpedo is highly confidential, and for nothing else. It would be too embarrassing to just study the ready-made things that are passed on.

"What's hard to guess?" Fan Wubing curled his lips, disagreed. "Pingyuan Factory and Tongfeng Company have never had business cooperation. Isn't it strange to have a sudden investigation?"

"From this alone, it's not enough for you to draw that inference, right?" Fan Heng certainly didn't believe it.

"Of course there are other things." Fan Wubing laughed, stroked his smooth chin with his little hand and continued, "I know the current situation in the venue. Gas has always been the dominant product. Although it is also developing electric torpedoes, it has not made substantial progress over the years. Is this the truth?"

Fan Heng nodded. This was a fact and there was no need to hide it. He just felt a little ashamed to speak.

"In the first half of this year, China counterattacked Vietnam by self-defense, and there was also a naval battle in the Xisha area. It is said that the results of the battle are good. Then you rushed south to Guangzhou and pulled out the main technical forces in the factory. What is the reason?" Fan Wubing pointed out incisively, "This can only show one thing, that is, the navy captured the advanced Soviet-made torpedoes of the Vietnamese!"

Fan Heng was speechless. What Fan Wubing said was as if he was personally involved. His meticulous thinking and clear reasoning made Fan Heng unable to find any rebuttal words. With such a monster son, I really don’t know whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

Just when Fan Heng was extremely moved, Fan Wubing suddenly began to speak loudly again, "Actually, it's not me who said you, although the electric torpedo is good, it was also a waste of money yesterday. You are just playing with what others have left, and it's really not constructive."

"Nonsense!" Fan Heng was furious when he heard this. If it weren't for Fan Wubing's sake as a three-year-old child, he had to repair him hard to relieve his anger. After his chest was up and down for a long time, he angrily scolded, "What do you know, a little hairy child?! This is the most advanced torpedo at present! Our navy lost two ships to get it. You don't know anything and you'll talk nonsense. Be careful in the future. Don't talk about this matter casually in front of outsiders. This is a military secret. Do you know?!"

Fan Wubing waved his hand a little boredly and said, "I understand! You can only use this as a treasure. Anyone I can make will be better than this!" Then he suddenly said to Fan Heng, "Dad, isn't the pen on your body? I'll draw something for you, it's definitely a hundred times stronger than this lightning!"

"Little brat, what tricks are you doing?" Although Fan Heng was a little disdainful, he still attached great importance to Fan Wubing's son. His past experience is enough to prove that Fan Wubing is far-sighted in many things, so he took out a hero pen from his pocket and handed it to Fan Wubing, and asked, "Can you write?"

Fan Wubing was too lazy to talk to him too much, so he took down the passenger opinion book hanging on the wall of the guest room, pulled two pieces of paper, and then used Fan Heng's pen to draw on it. Soon, a sketch was completed.

"What is this?" Fan Heng took the drawing and looked carefully for a long time and found that the thing Fan Wubing drew was not like a torpedo at all. Its head was sharp and there was no tail wing at the rear end. Instead, it had eight small spray heads, and its whole body looked a bit like a cone.

After Fan Wubing finished drawing the sketch, he wrote and painted on a piece of paper. Hearing Yan, he replied without raising his head, "This is a new torpedo I designed. I call it a snowstorm torpedo!"

If military fans heard this thirty years later, they would definitely spit hundreds of mouthfuls on Fan Wubing's face and not let him dry it. This kid casually stole the creativity of the blizzard torpedo that Russia began to develop more than ten years later, and snatched the other person's name without moving. It was so shameless!

However, Fan Heng obviously could not know this. At this time, he was frowning when he was looking at it, but Fan Wubing had already written the explanation. After comparing the two, he gradually saw some tricks.

"Your thing is a bit like a rocket, and it doesn't look like a torpedo at all. Can this thing be used underwater?" Fan Heng has been working on torpedo assembly for many years and is familiar with various performance indicators. At this time, he felt a little incredible when he looked at the blizzard torpedo drawn by Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing asked back without answering, "What is the speed of the fastest torpedo in the world today?"

"In theory, it can reach about 60 verses, but in actual combat it is only 50 verses!" Fan Heng replied without thinking.

"So if our electric torpedo is developed, how fast can it reach?" Fan Wubing asked again.

"It is always possible to reach 50 knots, and it is not impossible to reach 60 knots." Although Fan Heng answered this, he was still a little nervous. After all, domestic battery technology is still far from the top in the world, and it is probably a bit unlikely to reach the speed of similar products.

But in front of your son, you must not lose your momentum.

Kinds are used in navigation units. When describing the speed of underwater weapons such as ships and torpedoes, they are used to represent the knots. One knot is to travel one nautical mile per hour, which is equivalent to 1,852 meters per hour. Fifty knots are about 90 kilometers per hour and 25 meters per second. This speed is considered very fast in the water. Although American torpedoes claim to be able to reach a speed of 60 knots, no one can say that they have never really fought.

You should know that the faster the object traveling in water, the greater the resistance it will be. It will be difficult for traditional torpedoes to reach a speed of fifty knots, not to mention how difficult it is to increase ten or twenty knots. Even modern alloying techniques are difficult to meet the strength requirements of the torpedo shell.

"If the blizzard torpedo I designed can increase the speed to 250 knots, do you believe it?" Fan Wubing suddenly asked his father.
