Chapter 82: China's Sea Wolf: Submarine

"... Yesterday afternoon. District Governor Zhang Shusheng attended a meeting on the implementation of school-age education in Dongchuan District and most areas in Guangxi. At the meeting, District Chief Zhang made it clear that education should be better in the poor, and more rich in the rich Education is needed. No money, no money, no money. Even if everyone sells iron together, it will not make children's tomorrow dark.
... Nianhu at the junction of Huize and Qiaojia will extend the fishing ban. Any fishermen registered before the fishing ban can go to the local government to receive basic living allowances ...
Here are the recruitment information for this issue:
The Ministry of Communications is recruiting a large number of workers, and the long-distance highway project from Xiaoqingshan to Nanlin will start on June 5 ...
Minsheng Washing Machine Factory is recruiting a group of junior skilled workers, citizens with first grade junior technical certificate issued by the district government or junior high school or above education level. Interested parties can go to Puxi Road, Huize County ... "
In the radio, the soft voice of the announcer read a radio draft without delay. Radio waves spread throughout the Dongchuan District. Privately-purchased radios and government-sponsored street radios and outdoor radios were also issued at the same time. the sound of.
This is a town at the border of Huize and Qiaojia. One of the several radios purchased by the government in the town is placed in this tea house on the street, which makes the business here every day.
The Dongchuan District Government broadcasts several times a day, divided into: policy interpretation, government affairs reports, recruitment information, and entertainment programs including traditional operas, new songs and some puzzle cross talks.
Simple and efficient broadcasting. Every day, while conveying useful information to the poor and poor areas of Shilibaxiang, they also brought them some of the most basic entertainment elements, listening to the radio, listening to opera, and learning to sing, especially that simple and popular new song. Many people are intoxicated. Occasionally, there will be one or two elegant pieces, or erhu, lute, guqin, or piano light music, which can make people with a tired day sit down and have a cup of tea and take a break.
The radio is slowly consolidating them into a whole. Many people do n’t even know who the current president is and what the North-South situation is, but they know the mayor Zhang Shusheng and many Dongchuan District government ’s policies to benefit the people ...
"I said old man, but now I see you every day to drink tea, you don't need to run into the water to fish?" An old Miao man in a turban walked into the tea house, and the familiar tea diners greeted him suddenly.
"Nanhu Lake has been closed and there are no more fishes. The government arranged for me to watch the forest for one night. I can't sleep in the afternoon. Come to sit and listen to the radio." Half a can of green tea, this handmade coarse tea, is cheap and has no flavor.
"The current government is weird. In the past, it was the officials who took the lead in cutting trees. The big trees that the people couldn't hold together, rarely said that they were also cut by hundreds of old tyrants in the former town office. Now it's better. Who took Gongjia Mountain? The tree was cut, and the police in the town came home the next day. "
"Yes, I heard that we are preparing for the future nature reserve."
"Child, do you say that you read the lake, how can it be sealed for so long? What is it?"
"What is it? Now that the two miles of the circle are in the restricted area, it's better not to fish, it's not as good as working," said the old man with emotion.
...
"General manager, this is the budget of Pan American Ken's International and Pan-European Asian Trading Company in the second half of the year." Sun Laixi came to Zhang Shusheng's office with a top-secret document, which was secretly controlled by Shu Sheng Company in the West. Registered companies have budget reviews every six months.
Zhang Shusheng took the budget and looked at it. He changed it on a few inconspicuous numbers, added two more paragraphs, and handed it to him: "The treatment of the two companies at the senior level, the treatment at the domestic deputy level It ’s a little bit more, after all, the foreign spending is too high, and the expenses for special operations and the reimbursement expenses should not be too embarrassing. As for the total budget given to their branches, it is necessary to control the details and stricter, and the auditors at the headquarters must not rash pass."
"Yes, rest assured boss. Their treatment will definitely not be bad and not too outrageous. As for auditors, we will change personnel every two months to prevent unnecessary situations."
After Sun Laixi went out, Zhang Shusheng meditated for a while, and later experience told him that everything is difficult at the beginning, and we must control these open or secret institutions abroad from the beginning. It is precisely because they have access to a large amount of wealth that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Once the system fails to keep up, it is easy to cause corruption. But if the treatment is too high, it will breed the privileged class prematurely, which is not good for the development of the company.
So, up to now, the two most important western companies have been controlled by two foreign spokespersons. In fact, the most confidential situation is that they only get a little bonus each month. The financial process and cargo process have always been directly responsible by the head office, and they only serve as a spokesperson.
Thinking of going to the Nianhu Research Institute in the afternoon, Zhang Shusheng took a nap, then was called up by Mao Yun first, and went to Nianhu by car.
Nianhu Lake is a large plateau lake closest to Huize County. Its hydrological conditions and geographical location are relatively suitable as research sites. After the lake was closed last year, 2201 and 2202 Nianhu Institutes were established here.
If the agent of the special intelligence department of the Mindan League heard this code, they would know what it stands for. In the current Dongchuan system, the research institutes starting with the number 1 are civil science and technology or high-end basic science and technology research institutes. Starting with the 2 number is the Military Institute. And this military research institute is also different. If it is 21XX, it is an army research institute, if it is 22XX, it is a naval research institute, and 23XX is an air force research institute ...
Well, if there are intelligence personnel, they will definitely react immediately. Here are two top secret research institutes of the Civilian Regiment: Naval Research Institute No. 2201. 2202 Naval Institute II.
No one believed it. The Dongchuan People's Regiment basically occupied Guangxi three or four months ago. The sphere of influence extended to the sea for the first time. I did not expect that there would be a naval department so quickly.
After several hours of turbulence and a rigorous inspection, Zhang Shusheng and his party finally entered this top-secret Navy No. 1 laboratory.
Zhang Shusheng attaches great importance to this 2201 Institute. He has carried out a talent reserve of four to five years before and after the basic theoretical research. He has targeted the recruitment of a group of Chinese and overseas Chinese scientists who are fully trustworthy and Southwest University and senior After the outstanding talents of the technical school, this Navy No. 1 laboratory, which does not have a foreigner, finally moved to Nianhu in 1924, and officially established the No. 1 Research Institute to start the verification research work.
In order to make the research work better, Zhang Shusheng bought a U9 submarine from Germany at a high price as soon as he established the Nianhu Institute. It was such a broken submarine. At that time, it had turned around several times. First, it was bought by Americans, and it was only a few times before it came to China.
Although this submarine seems to Zhang Shusheng. It can be directly sealed and waiting to be stuffed into the museum in the future, but the newly started 2201 Nianhu Institute needs to use it as a basis to verify some advanced submarine theories.
Although two Chinese scientists in the institute have conducted similar research in the United States, in general, most people have only learned some relevant knowledge in Southwest University or advanced technical school. Of course, some of them graduated from the School of Naval Architecture, Southwest University, which was formed four years ago, in 1920.
Zhang Shusheng didn't have high demands on them, and only hoped that they could be as fast as possible. After all, let alone the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese had fallen behind in the ocean for hundreds of years. After the Ming Dynasty, naval construction had never approached the level of major powers. Thinking of the shame of Jiawu, he always felt that he could not spit out in his chest.
About that naval battle. Even in the comparison of Chinese and Japanese navies of that era, subsequent theorists, military scientists, and military enthusiasts have done too much research and comparison, and Zhang Shusheng did not want to review and regret too much. He only knew that the Chinese navy was not strong enough. Whether it was human factors or equipment factors, the overall backwardness led to the final failure.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to invest huge sums of money, and opened a major in ship engineering a few years in advance. Judging from the current status of China's navy, which is almost zero, he has only thought about this asymmetric combat method to enable China to catch up with the navy first. After all, the artillery battleship is out of date, and the aircraft carrier is not built in a day.
Therefore, he launched the 2201 and 2202 institutes in 1920, but the progress was very slow. In the previous years, it can be said that the two institutes were doing some theoretical research and model verification. It was not until the emergence of the 2201-Nianhu Research Institute and the emergence of the J-1 fighter that the two major research institutes 2201 and 2202 started to operate at full speed and entered a new era.
The huge Nianhu Lake is divided into two parts, north and south, and is relatively independent. There are relatively few buildings on the south. Except for some research buildings, only one dock can be seen on the entire lake. The north is much more complicated. A cement-filled runway is not to mention. There is still a huge pontoon standing in the lake. This huge pontoon is held by several thick steel cables, and occasionally it is pulled back and forth to make it on the water On exercise.
"Buzz ..."
Hearing the familiar engine sound from overhead, the head of 2201 Institute Gan Chuanrui said to Zhang Shusheng with an envious face: "Well, every day when I hear the big toss in the north, the boys below are almost sick. coming."
Having said that, he had a self-confidence on his face, and today the district chief will come to inspect it personally, and he will be pleasantly surprised.
"The matter of the No. 1 boat need not be too urgent. Everyone is from a research background. We should know that the taboo of scientific research is impetuousness and blind advance. How about this time, we still use animals for experiments?"
It is false to say that it is false. But Zhang Shusheng is still sensible, and blindly Cui rushing forward will only lead to counterproductive results. And taking small steps to speed up the run often used in later generations, but it has magical effects. The staff of the Special Situations Department reported to him that the people in the two institutes 2201 and 2202 were very desperate, and almost all of them were almost in three shifts.
The method he taught to the 2201 Institute is very simple, that is, to build a model first, and then to complete other theoretical data through a full-scale model. Therefore, after several years of preliminary preparations and half a year of actual preparations, after having a physical U-shaped submarine and the submarine information provided by Zhang Shusheng, the 2201 Institute finally ushered in this day.
Of course, the development of each advanced technology is a difficult system project, and breakthroughs can only be achieved after certain conditions have been met in each subsidiary industry.
Therefore, the various difficulties during the period were countless. The strength of steel alone was a long delay. It was not until 1923 that the new-type steelmaking plant was put into operation that qualified pressure-resistant steel for ship shells was produced.
It has to be said that the occupation of Guangxi is huge for the development of the militia. The minerals alone are extremely rich. The reserves of manganese, aluminum, iron, tin, lead, zinc, antimony, tungsten, copper, vanadium and rare earth are huge. In particular, Zhang Shusheng did not need to lie on the ground one by one to find out. Less than half a year after occupying Guangxi, several important mines began to be put into construction. In addition, the discovery of the Guangxi Tiandong small oil field has made Zhang Shusheng see a reduction in imported oil. Hope.
Today, these naive researchers did not even prepare for a ceremony, but just after applying for Zhang Shusheng, they conducted this live human underwater test.
When I came to a building near the lake, it was not so much a research room as a huge production workshop, and in the middle of the workshop, a 20-meter-long cigar-type submarine hull was blackened. Although the displacement of the whole boat was only 100 Multi-ton, but it is a standard drop-type submarine, has advanced design concepts of later generations, but the displacement has not yet been up.
In parallel with it is an apparently wooden model, which is exactly the same size as this black submarine, and appears to be a model for verification.
"Yes, at least it looks more pleasing to the eye than that of the U-boat, but I don't know how it actually works." Zhang Shusheng walked over and touched the black hull, feeling the steel touch on his hand. The desire to build a powerful navy has never been stronger.
"Rest assured, District Chief. The design of the No. 1 boat has a working depth of 20-50 meters. Because of the use of new alloy steel pressure hulls, our No. 1 boat has a maximum submersible depth of 247 meters. This figure has reached or even exceeded It is the advanced level of foreign countries today, "said Gan Chuanrui, the director of the institute." It is the credit of the district chief that allowed our Chinese submarines to reach an advanced level from the beginning. "
"What I can do is only part of it. The key thing is for you to do a good job step by step." Zhang Shusheng is very satisfied that the No. 1 boat can keep a part of the lead. Although it is only a verification boat, the scientific research ideas for the next generation to speed up It is indeed the most suitable for China's current situation. Of course, there is indeed the great role of Zhang Shusheng here. After all, without the technology he provided, it was completely from the beginning of the 2201 Research Institute. . .
"Ladies, everyone is ready! Today, the mayor personally watched the launch test of our No. 1 boat. Everyone must have 12 points of energy." Gan Chuanrui encouraged.
Zhang Shusheng also cleared his throat and said two words: "I don't say more if you have more. Everyone boldly experiment and operate carefully. I believe everyone."
The test soon started. With a command, more than 10 researchers got into the darkened No. 1 verification boat, and after a few clicks, in the heart of the public, the No. 1 verification boat slowly moved along. The track slides down and successfully slides into the water through an open gate.
"Pap ..."
There was a burst of applause on the court, and the next thing was to wait for the submarine to dive.
"Report command: The submarine dives to a depth of 5 meters. Everything is normal."
"Report command: The submarine dives to a depth of 15 meters. Everything is normal."
"Report command: The submarine dives to a depth of 25 meters. Everything is normal."
"Report command: The submarine dives to a depth of 45 meters. Everything is normal."
...
"Report command: The submarine dives to a depth of 100 meters. Everything is normal."
When the submarine operator calmly and calmly reported the 100-meter submergence depth and the submarine condition was normal, a thunderous applause burst into the research room. Although the design depth of this small verification submarine was more than 200 meters, this time the submersible depth experiment only reached 100 meters, which also proved that the experiment at this stage was successful.
"Very good, very good, I will tell the headquarters to remember the collective first-class work for everyone." Zhang Shusheng was really in a good mood. After four years of waiting, I finally saw the dawn today, although the submarine has not yet loaded the weapon system and sonar System, but at least the most important step has been taken. At present, the overall design and power system of the submarine, hull design and onboard communication equipment are very successful.
"District leader, rest assured that the progress of No. 1 Institute will not be slower than that of No. 2." Gan Chuanrui said confidently. As a senior scientific researcher, the 2202 Research Institute is working on a project. .
Isn't that kind of aircraft taking off from a floating platform the model of an aircraft carrier that has already appeared in a foreign country? The Civil Regiment has not yet built the strength of an aircraft carrier. Like the 2201 Research Institute, it has advanced verification work.
In his opinion, Zhang Shusheng was indeed a very constructive person. He not only provided foreign advanced technical information, but he could also understand these obscure theoretical knowledge himself. Moreover, the full-scale submarine model he advocated and the huge floating platform on the north side were very practical.
Every day, there are planes and pilots going up and down on the north floating platform. It seems that their progress is still behind. But in fact, as long as this test is successful, the progress of 2201 submarines will be much faster. At least 2202 aircraft carriers have not been shadowed yet.
"Well, good." Zhang Shusheng and he briefly explained the next arrangements. "After the occupation of Guangxi by some groups, some factories, mines and research institutes will gradually move part of the past, and one must also be prepared to move to Guangxi. By the sea, conditions are more suitable for submarine research. "
"Rest assured, District Chief, absolutely no problem, the whole one has been waiting for a long time." Gan Chuanrui graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a true expert, he is very clear that reading the lake is only suitable for early substantive verification research work ~ EbookFREE.me ~ To build a true marine submarine, you still have to choose the sea.
"Tuanrui, come on, here is another piece of news for you. At the end of this year, a shipyard on the coast of Guangxi will be completed, and by the time you can wait for your rice to cook."
"It's great, district director, we still have to catch up with half a year," Gan Chuanrui rejoiced.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, and went to the 2202 Research Institute in the northern part of the lake in the afternoon, where the naval scientific research plan No. 2 made him very jealous, and even in the long run, the plan 2 had a greater impact on the civilian group.
China not only needs hundreds or thousands of submarines, it also needs one giant aircraft carrier after another. In addition to the formation of underwater wolves, a water carrier battle group must be formed.
"The Chinese navy must never be left behind."
Zhang Shusheng secretly decided.
