Chapter 86 The Artifact of Conventional Submarines

Xu Xingchen marked the Eagle Strike 12 missile weapon system, then looked at the remaining more than a thousand loot points, and then looked at the results of these two level 4 analysis.

The linear repair of the hull belongs to a new system function; the Eagle Strike 12 missile system belongs to the advanced equipment of the new century, and it is very worth it no matter which one is.

So Xu Xingchen activated the fourth-level loot analysis again, and the familiar prompts also jumped out again:

"The loot is being resolved..."

“Successful analysis: Obtaining the Stirling-style air-free propulsion system.”

Seeing this result, Xu Xingchen immediately called out again in his heart, this is the magic weapon of modern conventional submarines.

The power system of traditional conventional submarines is a diesel engine plus battery.

The diesel engine charges the battery, and the battery drives the propeller, and drives the submarine to sail.

The diesel engine requires air to work, so the submarine must float up when charging, and at least it must be extended to ventilate.

Therefore, diesel-electric submarines must rise periodically during duty.

The capacity of the battery basically determines the upper limit of the submarine's stealth time.

The power and charging efficiency of the diesel engine basically determine the lower time limit of the floating state.

For conventional submarines in the World War II era, each time they sneaked no more than twenty hours, and only less than a whole day.

Modern conventional diesel-electric submarines can reach 4 to 7 days of stealth, which is already very impressive.

However, modern AIP submarines have a stealth time of more than 15 days, and their extreme state can reach 45 days, so they are sometimes called "small nuclear submarine".

Even for nuclear submarines, considering the supply and personnel tolerance, the single stealth time is usually 30 to 60 days, and the stealth record is 90 days.

Why can AIP submarines dive for so long?

Because the meaning of AIP is "airless propulsion system", to be precise, it is "a power system that does not rely on external air", so there is no need to ventilate.

There is more than one engine that does not rely on external air to operate. Xu Xingchen obtained a Stirling engine, which is a cyclic reciprocating engine that allows the gas in the cylinder to periodically compress and expand at different temperatures through external heating, and promotes the piston to operate.

Fuel combustion is continuous during the operation of the Stirling machine, rather than internal combustion engine mode through intermittent combustion and knocking.

Therefore, there is no knocking or blasting phenomenon, and the noise during operation is lower than that of the internal combustion engine.

The entire system is closed, and the specially made medium gas is always circulating inside the system, and there is no need for external air supply.

The structure is simpler than that of internal combustion engines, more convenient to maintain, and has very low requirements for fuel type.

The stand-alone power is low, but it is convenient to get the required target power.

All characteristics are very suitable for submarine use.

The Stirling-style AIP system obtained by Xu Xingchen is a complete power system including all supporting facilities and can be directly used in submarine transformation.

With this power system, several submarine ship girls from the Admiral's Mansion can finally be transformed like surface ships, and it is more modern than surface ships.

With the function of line repairing the hull, AIP can directly transform the old-fashioned Type 03 and Type 033 submarines into modern AIP submarines similar to 039B.

Thinking about the effect of this transformation, Xu Xingchen got up and went to the scientific research center.

Say hello to the busy Yuanwang No. 2 and Yingtan, and then sit in front of the scientific research equipment you usually use.

The "line repair function" only provides the option of modifying the appearance. The specific shape must be completed by yourself.

If you want to get the optimal hull linear shape, of course, you cannot just squeeze it manually. You must establish special data based on the target tonnage, size, speed, and calculation.

This was originally a very complex project, but the upgraded scientific research equipment has special tools, and you can directly generate it by entering basic parameters.

Xu Xingchen opened the generation tool and directly introduced the hull data of the 03 and 033 submarines to generate the optimal linear shape and save it.

Then the Eagle Strike 12 missile system just added was opened, the warhead type and structure were modified, and the internal structure of the bullet body that fixed the warhead position was adjusted.

Keeping the overall size, appearance and weight of the missile unchanged, it directly obtains a simple specialized model that is suitable for the battlefield.

Eagle Strike-12C: Armor-piercing ability is 700 mm, charge amount is 128 kg, and other parameters are basically unchanged.

The airborne air-fired version uses a matching special hanger. The current J-3 carrier-based aircraft can be equipped with two, and the magic-modified Strong 5 B can barely carry two.

The ship-based version uses a double-layer quadratic launcher, similar to the installation method of the 051B Shenzhen and 956E Hangzhou, and completely replaces the original Eagle Strike 8A missile.

Compared with Eagle Strike 8A, the weight has increased by about one-third, and the length is basically the same, the suitability is not much different, and the performance is subversive.

The navy on Earth has not changed its clothes. It is basically for cost reasons. In peace, the Eagle Strike 83 will not be fully equipped, let alone the Eagle Strike 12 will be replaced.

Xu Xingchen has no cost concerns and actual combat needs, so the contract fleet will definitely be fully equipped with Eagle Strike 12, including missile boats, next time they are modified.

Then a new scientific research plan was established, and the overall scale was enlarged on the basis of Eagle Strike 12, and a large-scale modified version with a total weight of less than 2 tons and a warhead of more than 500 kilograms were developed.

Most of their enemies are traditional warships, and heavy armored battleships are everywhere. Anti-ship missiles should be slightly larger and their destructive power will be more sufficient.

In the future, the main fleet will use the enlarged number as much as possible, and the original version will be used for small ships that cannot be loaded with large-scale.

In fact, this amplification is not a "change" at all, but a new scientific research project. Xu Xingchen was too lazy to rename the name and directly used the number of Eagle Strike-12D.

Since it is a scientific research project, it takes time to develop instead of getting results directly.

After Xu Xingchen's preservation research project was launched, he asked Jinan around him to send messages to recruit the submarines and began to do their first comprehensive transformation.

Xu Xingchen made a submarine transformation for the first time, and it was an unprecedented large-scale transformation, so he was extra cautious and careful.

Each step of operation is to look at it and check it repeatedly several times before finally clicking to confirm.

Even if the AIP system can be used as a whole, there is no need to manually set up specific equipment, and linear repairs will directly apply the generated models, and there are very few operations that require manual execution.

When the 8 Type 03 submarines and 4 Type 033 conventional submarines in the Admiral's Office have all completed modernization, it was already noon.

The official handover procedures for the four military ports in Feiyun Island have been completed. The management's cleaning and replacement will take several days before the full control of these military ports can be completed.
