Director Song and Fan Heng waited until after 8 o'clock in the evening. When the two planned to let it go today, Director Zhang hurriedly ran back.
"Why have you eaten for so long?" Director Song noticed that Director Zhang's head was covered with sweat. Thinking that he was going to stay in the fax room and wait for news, he must have no time to eat, so he asked.
Director Zhang ran out of breath and raised the fax file he had just received in his hand. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. It took a few words for a long time to pop up, "Director--Fast-"
Director Song read the fax draft of the results. Sure enough, after the preliminary arguments of more than a dozen top domestic military experts, the conclusion was that the design of the snowstorm torpedo transcends the characteristics of the times and completely subverts the traditional torpedo technology. After discussion by experts, it was believed that the feasibility was very high. They urgently asked the country to set up a special project team to improve the theory and realize the physics.
"Okay--Okay--" Director Song was also very excited, and his hands holding the fax document were trembling.
The influence of this matter is extremely far-reaching, far more than the benefits that can be seen at present.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Chinese Navy immediately fell from Asia's No. 1 position, and has been weakened for nearly a hundred years. Its distance from international powers is getting farther and farther away. While the American aircraft carrier formation appears to cruise in every corner of the world, we are also working hard to make the source of military spending.
In the past, we could hypnotize ourselves by closing the door. Our air force and the navy were not good, but our army was running! However, a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam at the beginning of this year suddenly made the senior management discover that after ten years of turmoil, the last part of the Chinese army's private land was also in crisis!
It’s not that our people are not good, but that the equipment is already too backward, the command system is too backward, the tactical thinking is too backward, and the gap with the United States and the Soviet Union is too backward. If you don’t want to change, you will probably have a big mess!
As the head of the military industry, Director Song naturally knew how far-reaching impact it would have if the blizzard torpedo could be realized.
China's naval fleet has small tonnage and poor sea-air coordination capabilities. Compared with the US or Soviet military's integrated sea-air equipment, the gap is not a little bit. In front of other aircraft carrier fleets, there is no question of confrontation or counterattack.
Yes, some people say that we have nuclear submarines and have the ability to strike a second nuclear strike. This is true, but do we just need to create nuclear deterrence and threaten it? If we are under the conventional war mode, can our navy and air force compete with the United States and the Soviet Union?
The answer to this question is indeed a bit heartbreaking.
Missiles, we cannot have many US troops, ships, we cannot have many US troops, torpedoes, our speed is ten or even twenty knots slower than others. What can we use to fight against them? We can also rely on land-based combat systems in the nearshore combat, but what are we going to get offshore?
If the snowstorm torpedo can be successfully developed, all these problems can be solved.
In fact, everyone, including Fan Wubing, is not clear. The Ukrainian Institute of Fluid Mechanics in the Soviet Union began to research and develop supercavitation technology in the early 1960s. Naturally, all this is highly confidential and the outside world is not clear. The Soviet Union's cavitation weapons are progressing slowly, and now they have only developed laboratory products that are much faster than ordinary torpedoes, but their effective range is less than eight kilometers, and there is still a long way to go to actual combat.
After Director Song calmed down a little excitedly, he held Fan Heng's hand and said, "Okay! Your design is good! The key is the idea of ​​cavitation weapons and the proposal of its theory. This has a profound significance for our coastal defense!"
Director Zhang also stood there with great emotion. As the head and coordination department of a military-industrial enterprise, he knew very well how much confidence this weapon would increase the weak Chinese Navy once it was put into use. Thinking that he actually looked down on Fan Heng's design, Director Zhang felt very ashamed at this time. If he hadn't been calm enough, he would have almost delayed the big thing.
"The experts in Beijing have also put forward requirements, hoping that the designers of the snowstorm torpedo can go to Beijing in person and provide them with as much guidance as possible in theory and specific implementation, which will speed up the progress of work. Comrade Fan Heng, I think you don't have to know the plain factory for the time being. I will talk about it until this matter is a little bit obvious, how about it?" Director Song made specific requests to Fan Heng.
"Ah?!" Fan Heng obviously did not expect such a sudden change.
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Comrade Fan Heng, there are many benefits to going to Beijing! There are many experts there and many opportunities to learn. It is very beneficial for improving your technical capabilities and understanding a large-scale military-industry collaboration system!"
"Yes, yes!" Director Song nodded and agreed, "For example, your design drawing, I think it's a big problem! You just pull a piece of paper and draw it. This confidentiality work is not done well, and it is easy to cause leaks! However, it is hard to imagine that such an important design drawing would be drawn on a few sheets of paper in the passenger's guest book, haha--"
Fan Heng was a little stunned. The design drawings were proved by experts, but hesitated. There are naturally many benefits to going to Beijing. It is an opportunity for himself to learn and improve, and it is also an opportunity for gilding. The future development is naturally limitless.
However, letting yourself talk about theories and design ideas to experts, this is probably not suitable? You should know that it is not Fan Heng himself who came up with this thing, but the third baby Fan Wuyan!
So Fan Heng said to Director Song and Director Zhang very seriously, "Actually, the design idea of ​​this blizzard torpedo was not proposed first. The designer has other people, and this sketch was not done by myself."
"Ah?! The designer is not you, who is that?" neither Director Song nor Director Zhang expected that there would be such variables.
It turned out that Fan Heng was a comrade with many years of experience in torpedo weapon technology. It was very reasonable that this kind of thing came from his hands, but he actually said that he was not the designer, and this issue is very important!
Chapter completed!
