Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 27 65K wake homing torpedo

  The inside of the torpedo cabin is not empty. Four torpedoes are standing quietly on the shelf. The red torpedo head and the green slender torpedo body are sprayed with clear model marks.

  53-65K, sure enough, this is the torpedo!

  Qin Tao walked in step by step, touched the projectile of the torpedo, and felt his heart beating violently.

   Sure enough, I was very lucky to meet such a good thing!

   Torpedoes are the main attack weapon of submarines. When they first appeared, they were all direct-flying torpedoes. Just like the fired shells, they could only move along a fixed straight line.

Therefore, the attack of the submarine is always on the side of the opponent's route, measure the arrival time of the opponent and the attack distance of one's own side, launch the torpedo at a suitable place, and sail according to the predetermined depth and speed after the torpedo goes out until it meets the target. in the encounter.

  The efficiency of this kind of attack is very low. It is okay to deal with cargo ships without any weapons, but the success rate is quite low when dealing with warships.

  After the end of World War II, with the development of technology, wired-guided torpedoes developed rapidly, relying on the sonar of submarines to indicate the target, so that this torpedo can be used with ease in the attack, and the target changes course, it will also change.

   This kind of torpedo has become the most common equipment in the arsenals of navies of various countries. However, Lao Maozi has never lacked unique weapons.

  For example, titanium alloy submarines, such as stainless steel fighter jets. In terms of torpedoes, Lao Maozi also put in a lot of effort and developed a special wake-guiding torpedo.

  When any ship is moving forward, it must push the sea water in front, so that there will be wave-making resistance, and the first wave and the wake wave will be generated around the ship, and then an obvious wake will be generated.

  The propellers of the ship also need to stir the seawater to move forward, forming an obvious jet flow and a large number of bubbles. These energy will also be dissipated in the form of waves, and a more obvious wake will be formed after the superposition of the stern.

   Any ship has a wake. The larger the ship, the faster the speed, the greater the wake. You can see how obvious this phenomenon is by looking at the long water flow at the tail of an American aircraft carrier.

  Lao Maozi's wake-homing torpedo chases the wake of the ship and launches an attack. It opens up a new world for attacking enemy warships.

The previous torpedoes were all fired from the side. After the wake-homing torpedo appeared, it could chase after the enemy warship’s **** and hit it. Moreover, after launching, it didn’t matter. It chased the enemy warship’s chrysanthemum by itself passed.

  After the appearance of this torpedo, it immediately became a big trouble for American surface ships. It does not need guidance, and various types of jammers, air curtain bombs, acoustic decoys, etc. will not work. At the same time, this kind of aircraft carrier with fast speed, long range and large charge can deal with the Americans.

Moreover, it has never been obsolete after decades of service, even in 1987, that is, two years ago, when a general of the US Navy was asked how to deal with this torpedo, he replied humorously: "At present, we can The only way to defeat the wake homing system is to deploy a frigate behind each aircraft carrier."

  They have nothing to do with wake-homing torpedoes, they can only sacrifice frigates to protect their key warships.

This kind of torpedo was only developed by Lao Maozi. It was not until later that it spread to other countries with the Kilo-class submarine. torpedo.

   Now, Qin Tao was lucky enough to get a few advanced wake-homing torpedoes, and they were not the export models of Lao Maozi, they were for their own use!

  Lao Maozi’s management is very chaotic. Generally, the ammunition in a scrapped submarine should be emptied. Now, there are still four torpedoes dropped here!

Of course, even now, the old man is still not short of money, and the military subsidy has never been in arrears. After the collapse of the Red Empire, these submarines anchored in the port have been patronized by sailors many times. The valuable rare metals in them, All were taken away.

   "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Nie Shiyu looked at Qin Tao's expression, as if picking up a treasure, very curious.

   "We found a treasure, if we don't change it, we need this submarine!" Qin Tao said.

  Even if the submarine's engine can't start, Qin Tao will tow the submarine away.

   Chug, Chug, at this moment, the submarine made a strange sound.

  When she heard this voice, Nie Shiyu's face turned pale: "Brother, what's going on, I'm so scared."

   "The engine is starting at the back." Qin Tao said, "Don't be afraid, let's go and have a look at the back."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao took Nie Shiyu's hand. Her hand was trembling slightly, but when Qin Tao pulled it, a warmth spread to her body along the palm of her hand, and her face recovered. Calm.

   "Well, brother, I'm not afraid, let's go and see."

  Qin Tao took Nie Shiyu out of the torpedo cabin at the bow, and he closed the cabin door, hoping that no one would see the treasure inside.

  However, even if they saw it, those people probably wouldn't be overwhelmed. In their eyes, this is just a broken submarine.

   The sound of chug chug became faster and faster, and then there was a slight shaking from the whole submarine. Qin Tao knew that it was a successful start.

  Type 641 submarine uses three 2D/Д-42 four-stroke diesel engines, each with 2,000 horsepower. This kind of diesel engine cannot be started by an electric motor like a car. Any electric motor will not have such a strong power. Therefore, it uses the ancient compressed air starting method.

  Compressed air enters the cylinder and pushes the piston to move. In this way, the entire engine can be run, and then the fuel is injected to burn, and it does its own work to drive itself to run, and the start-up process is completed.

   When Qin Tao got into the back cabin, Varisi's hands were covered with oil, and his face was full of pride: "Two of them have problems, but only this one engine is enough to drive back."

  Qin Tao nodded, and he couldn't force it, after all, what he bought was scrap iron.

   "Thank you, Comrade Varisi."

  If the three engines can't start, then you have to ask Nikolai to send a tugboat, which is unnecessary now, and the submarine can be driven back.

   That evening.

The fully fueled submarine B-474 left the pier with the help of the tugboat. The three propellers at the tail formed an inverted triangle. Pushed and rotated.

  Qin Tao stood on the top of the command tower, looking at the dark sea, feeling overwhelmed.

   PS: Thanks for the support of all book friends, continue to ask for tickets, all kinds of requests!

   I saw the great comments from everyone, but I don’t know why, most of the book reviews returned by the hero of East China are disabled functions. I don’t know why, but only one or two succeeded. Welcome everyone to continue writing book reviews. You can make complaints about anything.
