Test, keep testing. There are too many items that need to be tested for the entire system. In the military field, there is no room for error in many things.
A slight difference can make a huge difference, so many things must be treated rigorously. For the Zhang Group, they still lack a lot of important data.
The environment can be simulated, but the technical performance of some weapons cannot be fully simulated. Especially for some advanced weapons and equipment, their data is confidential, and many Zhang Groups cannot get it at all.
At the same time, the current weapons are not a single weapon, but a whole system. Only when they cooperate with each other can they exert great power.
For example, the cooperation between fighter jets and early warning aircraft, the cooperation with satellite navigation systems, etc. If you want to truly simulate these things, you must have the most realistic data, otherwise you can only simulate the environment.
Now, the Zhang Group can only input some of the data they have into it. As for other weapons and equipment data, they still need to take their time.
Regarding investment in military technology, Zhang Fan's investment is getting bigger and bigger. With the development of private territory, the security of private territory must also be taken seriously.
The private sector is too rich, which is a big piece of fat. At the same time, as the size of the private sector economy increases, competition with companies from other countries in the world market becomes increasingly fierce.
Today's international trade is often not fair at all. Without the backing of a strong country, companies are often just lambs to be slaughtered. A powerful company can even be dismembered in just a few days.
Zhang Fan came here to the private underground research base. This is the core base, located thousands of meters underground. With the presence of the Earth-Drilling Dragon, the entire base has undergone a large-scale expansion.
After taking a special elevator and passing through multiple security doors, Zhang Fan arrived at this underground base. The entire underground base is very large. It is an underground city, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
This is the core research and development base of the private sector, and in a huge pool, a huge submarine is parked there.
Seeing Zhang Fan's arrival, all the researchers' faces were filled with pride. When Zhang Fan came to the submarine, he couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this big guy.
This is a big thing. It looks like a huge work of art. There is not even a gap in the black hull, as if it was formed in one go. But Zhang Fan knows that the hull is not a whole body, but a piece.
When special metals are assembled, the reason why no gaps can be seen is because the processing technology is too high.
Zhang Fan also knew about the metal hull and this kind of outer shell. This new material was obtained when exchanging for the Earth-Drilling Dragon. After this period of research and development, this new material was obtained.
"Here, let's talk about the specific situation."
Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Okay, boss. This submarine is 275 meters long and 40 meters wide. It has a drop-shaped design. It has a surface displacement of 45,000 tons and an underwater displacement of 86,000 tons."
The chief engineer began to introduce this submarine. This huge submarine can be said to be the largest submarine in the world.
The larger the submarine, the slower it moves and the easier it is to be discovered. But the private sector went in the opposite direction and wanted to build such a big thing.
This thing is used for deterrence, and it is blessed with new materials and new technologies. This submarine has a terrifying diving capability that no other submarine has.
This special material allows the submarine to dive to a depth of 3,500 meters. At such a depth, why pursue speed? At such a depth, even the world's top detection equipment cannot detect it.
With his huge size, even a Typhoon-class nuclear submarine looked like a child in front of him.
Entering the interior of the submarine cabin, Zhang Fan's first impression was that it was spacious. It was not crowded like ordinary submarines at all.
Such a spacious space is due to the extraordinary performance of this submarine. Using super batteries as power, the designers evenly distributed the super batteries in various parts of the submarine. This division not only saves the internal space, but also makes the interior of the submarine more comfortable.
The counterweight has reached the optimal state.
The rational division of each functional compartment and the use of super batteries not only make the submarine more powerful, but also make the submarine structure simpler. The simpler something is, the less likely it is to be damaged and easier to repair.
This is like the difference between a fuel car and an electric car. It is spacious and bright. Not only that, this submarine also uses the latest light-guiding fiber technology.
The new generation of light-guiding optical fiber can convert electrical energy into solar energy through energy conversion. In this way, the interior of the submarine will be the same as the external environment, which is very important for submarine staff.
"Boss, this is the weapons bay. This submarine can carry fifty ballistic missiles. It has a total of four launch holes."
Coming to the weapons bay, the huge weapons bay was empty. There was a huge space reserved here, but there were no weapons.
Looking at the empty weapons bay, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh. Now they have guns but no ammunition. No matter how powerful the submarine is, without supporting weapons, it is just a decoration.
"This is the soldiers' dormitory"
"This is our ecological greenhouse, and the fresh vegetables grown inside can satisfy our self-supply"
“This is our lounge”
After inspecting the entire submarine, this submarine completely subverted traditional submarines. Traditional submarines have a small space and are a huge test for submariners when they are submerged.
But this submarine is different. The light-guiding optical fiber makes the interior of the submarine not much different from that on the mainland. The spacious space also allows everyone to move freely.
There is also a vegetable garden where the fresh vegetables produced by oneself can ensure that everyone can eat fresh vegetables.
In the leisure and entertainment hall, everyone can exercise and have fun. There is also a brain-sensing helmet inside. Wearing this brain-sensing helmet not only allows you to communicate with the outside world, but also allows everyone to feel at ease and not suffer from cabin fever.
The most powerful thing is energy. A super submarine using super batteries as energy source can last 100,000 nautical miles at the maximum depth and speed.
If you find a deep place to lie down, you can stay underwater for three to five years without any problem.
This thing is strategic-level weapons and equipment, loaded with ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads. This thing is meant to scare people. It is also used for revenge at the last moment. You don’t need many of these things, just one is enough to scare the opponent away.
The terrifying diving depth makes this submarine like a ghost. If equipped with advanced weapons, it can attack anywhere in the world.
"Boss, our biggest problem now is that we don't have matching weapons."
The chief designer lamented that now submarines have been manufactured, but there are no matching weapons. Without weapons, this thing is just an empty shell. It looks good but is not useful. Hearing the words of the chief designer, Zhang Fan also nodded. He must think
We must find a way to obtain supporting weapons. Only in this way can we form a real deterrent capability.
