Chapter 132 Dive to 40 Meters (Subscribe)
The leaders around were very surprised. You must know that the two divers who just jumped off were not fundamentally different from the divers they remembered. They were both wearing waterproof masks, black diving suits, and a pair of flippers.

If there is a difference, it is that the oxygen tube that is usually carried on the back is now hung on the chest.

But such a small difference, in the eyes of the chief of the navy, Lu Guowei and other insiders, is like a gap like a chasm.

Because the maximum diving depth of ordinary piggyback oxygen tubes is less than 10 meters, but this kind of equipment hung on the chest like a vest can make the maximum diving depth of an individual soldier reach 30 meters.

The tactical value brought by this is different. You must know that the concealment of underwater activities at 20 to 30 meters is quite high. Whether it is port reconnaissance or target positioning, it is a matter of minutes.

Not only that, if you want to carry out some missions such as blowing up ships and knocking down houses, it is completely easy to do, and it is not even a problem to ambush conventional submarines in shallow water after certain special conditions.

No way, the 30-meter stealth allows special operations groups such as frogmen to have too many tactical options.

The Marine Corps has a full understanding of this, but the problem is that knowledge is a matter of understanding. This kind of complicated individual diving equipment cannot be manufactured in China.

No way, apart from a large number of precision-machined components such as valves and materials for pressure vessels, the most important thing is the research on human body functions.

After all, the most critical of these involves the pressure ratio of the human lungs in a deep-water environment.

It is a typical multidisciplinary product.

Due to the industrial layout of the Soviet Union, the relevant domestic factories have a very clear division of labor. There is no problem in the production and processing of individual components, and they can also be kneaded into tanks, aircraft, and ships according to the plan. But if you break through this boundary, you will be a little confused.

One-person deep and light equipment is one of them.

Because it involves basic research in medicine, the domestic industry is a little at a loss. First, it has no similar experience, and second, there is no relevant supporting facilities. Finally, the most important thing is that there were no such things in the original plan. Why? Engage?
If you don't know how to do it, you can't do it, and if you can't do it, you can't produce it.

So the navy can only purchase from abroad.

Thanks to the current international environment, some developed countries are still very interested in the procurement of domestic single-person deep-diving equipment. For example, the French Thomson Company showed the MIX45 semi-closed diving equipment they developed like the navy.

The maximum diving depth reaches 28 meters, and it can work continuously for 1.5 hours.

At that time, the head of the navy who was in charge of the contact was tempted, but when he asked about the price, the head of the navy was taken aback. Comes down to almost $8 a set.

So much so that the navy leader who accompanied the head of the navy to France commented very staggeringly: "What France sells is not a diving suit at all, but a set of gold suits!"

No way, according to the price of gold at the time, $10 could really make a gold suit in China.

Although it was expensive, the chief of the Navy felt that there was still a demand in the country, so he gritted his teeth and squeezed out 20 US dollars to buy two sets back.

As a result, just as it was brought up here, the trade representative of Thomson Corporation shrugged his shoulders very apologetically, and informed the head of the navy that according to the temporary agreement signed by developed countries not long ago, the diving depth of a single diving suit is limited to within 10. 10 meters is prohibited in principle.

Export will only be allowed unless proof of non-participation in any military use can be provided and the supervision of the factory will be accepted.

This time, I couldn’t buy anything I wanted, so that the head of the navy left directly. Even now, the head of the navy still remembers the very proud words of Thomson’s trade representative: “You can seriously consider my suggestion and let us inspect the military port regularly. , Of course you can also choose to say no, but I believe you will come to me one day, because you simply can't make such a complicated device!"

Anger, shaking, and coldness are inevitable, but when you calm down, you will feel powerless all over your body.

Others have it, but you don’t, what else can you do except get angry?

Not only that, but in the end, as the trade representative of Thomson said: "Then you will come to me!"

This is the tragedy of the product being unable to control itself. It is necessary to actively wash the neck and hand it over after being slaughtered by the neck.

But at the moment when the two divers jumped off the pier just now, the head of the navy noticed the semi-closed diving gear on the chests of the two divers, and the depression that had been pent up in the depths of his heart for more than a year could not be suppressed at once. The excitement broke through a crack, and the excitement was beyond words.

The meaning seems to be saying, even though we can't make it ourselves, come and have a look!

But the fun is the fun, but the basic sense is still there, so he quickly turned his head to look at Wen Dawei: "What is the diving depth of your semi-closed diving suit? 25 meters or 30 meters?"

"Eh...according to the latest data, the maximum diving depth has reached 40 meters!" Wen Dawei pointed helplessly at the pier in front of him: "Otherwise, we would not be able to put the test site here, because several people in the factory The water depth of a reservoir simply cannot meet the current test needs..."

"What did you just say?" The chief of the Navy didn't wait for Wen Dawei to finish speaking, and asked the young people around him with wide eyes.

"The water depth of the test site is not enough, so we can only come to the pier, but as you have seen, the chief, this pier is temporary, and we will switch to shipbuilding in a short time, here..."

Wen Dawei took the opportunity to start promoting his shipbuilding plan, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the head of the Navy again: "I'm not talking about this, but the depth of the dive, the depth of the dive..."

"40 meters..." Wen Dawei replied innocently, and then changed the topic: "Chief, let's listen to our shipbuilding plan..."

As a result, just as Wen Dawei said half of what he said, the chief of the navy slapped him, and immediately wiped out Wen Dawei's next words. He heard the chief of the navy smile and say, like a big pirate who discovered a treasure: "40 meters, 45 meters more than the French MIX10 semi-enclosed diving suit, boy, do you know how much you can do when you dive to a depth of 40 meters?
Let’s not mention the peacetime, if it’s a wartime, I can let the frogmen directly blow up all the ships in the enemy’s port! "

It is undeniable that the arrogance of the head of the navy, who is so arrogant and dry, shows such domineering arrogance. Wen Dawei understands it very well, but what he doesn't understand is why this domineering slap is kept on his shoulder. It is very heavy...very Shen...it hurts, okay...
