Chapter 850 Nuclear Submarine (Second update, please subscribe)
Dulles is visiting!
Li Guoren's report made Li Yian frown and said.

"To discuss some topics of mutual interest? Guoren, what do you think Dulles wants to discuss?"

What will Dulles talk about now?
And it’s a topic of interest to both parties?

It’s really unpleasant to feel confused!

It seems that Hydra needs to increase its efforts in the United States... Now Nanyang's overseas intelligence is divided into two lines, the Bureau of Investigation and Hydra. Hydra's work is still very effective. In the past few years, Nanyang has been able to obtain intelligence from the United States, Britain and other countries.

However, no matter how valuable the intelligence is, it has a certain delay. It takes a lot of trouble to send it to Southeast Asia. It needs to be sent to Mexico or France by letter first, and then sent to Southeast Asia through special channels from there. Unless it is extremely important intelligence, it will take half a month to reach Southeast Asia... If there is Internet, then it only takes a few seconds for the intelligence to be sent to Southeast Asia.

The Internet will change everything!
But now there is nothing at all, and now some things can only be thought about.

Once again, Li Yian was looking forward to the Internet.

"This... is a topic of interest to both sides... The current situation in Southeast Asia doesn't seem to be at a point where he needs to visit in person. If it's a European issue, there's no need to come to Southeast Asia. And if Dulles comes here now... is it for rockets?"

Almost subconsciously, Li Guoren thought of rockets. After all, there were not many reasons that could make Dulles come to Southeast Asia at this time.

The Rockets are likely to be one of them.

"The United States has made two embarrassing mistakes in a row. Under such circumstances, they will definitely try to launch a rocket as soon as possible. For now, seeking our help is the most effective shortcut."

Listening to Li Guoren's analysis, Li Yian said.

"That's very likely, but... I'm curious, if he's here to seek cooperation in this area, what kind of gift will he bring?"

gift!

No matter what time, guests will never come to a guest's house empty-handed. If they have an intention, they will definitely prepare a fruit basket. The question is, what is Dulles' fruit basket?

……

While Li Yian was thinking about Dulles' gift in his mind, Dulles, who was transiting at the Hawaii airport, was resting with his eyes closed in the waiting room, as if he was thinking about something.

"Mr. Secretary, the plane will take off in two hours. There is a hotel next to the airport. You can go there and rest for a while."

Listening to his assistant's words, Dulles shook his head.

"No need, just wait here for a while, Benjamin."

Looking up at the assistant in front of him, Dulles asked.

"In your opinion, what will we gain from this trip?"

Benjamin replied.

"Sir, didn't you say that Li is a typical businessman who will trade anything that can be traded? So we should get what we want."

Dulles nodded and said, "Yes, everyone who knows him knows that Li is a typical businessman, and a very shrewd businessman, but do you know what this means?"

After thinking about it, Benjamin said.

"This means that he will ask for a lot of money!"

Obviously everyone knows what choice a savvy businessman will make.

"Yes!"

Dulles glanced into the distance and spoke in a rather low voice.

"So, if we can't prepare a gift that he can't refuse, then we must be prepared for him to ask for a sky-high price!" "Mr. Secretary of State, we are the United States!"

Benjamin's tone was full of arrogance, as if he was reminding the Secretary of State.

We are America. How dare he ask such an exorbitant price from us?
The young man's answer made Dulles laugh and he shook his head.

"Yes, it's because we are Americans that he asks for such a high price!"

Of course, when you want to fleece the sheep, you have to fleece the sheep. And the United States is that big fat sheep. And it is the kind that is delivered to your door.

How could you not ask for a huge profit when you come across such a big fat sheep?

Two hours later, the plane took off again, heading towards Chang'an. After the plane took off, Dulles was still thinking about a question - whether his gift could satisfy Li Yian's appetite.

……

In fact, it is well known that Li Yian has a good appetite.

Every morning, after morning exercises, his appetite is almost equivalent to that of a half-adult. After all, exercise is physical work, whether it is exploring the true meaning of life at night or morning exercises at the beach in the morning.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Li Yian starts his day's work as usual.

Although Li Yian handed over internal affairs to various departments, there were still many things to deal with every day. After reading the intelligence briefing, he looked through several documents and dealt with some related affairs. It was not until noon that he met with the Navy Commander Zou Tongjie, who was accompanied by two Navy engineers. They first reported on the design of the reactor and nuclear submarine.

"...The pressurized water reactor has been in trial operation for half a year now. Everything is going well, but further verification is needed."

Listening to the engineer's explanation, Li Yian just nodded slightly.

Although he was an outsider to the pressurized water reactors used in submarines, he could still give some suggestions. In fact, most of his suggestions were about the appearance of the submarine, such as the teardrop-shaped hull design and the noise-reducing anechoic tiles. In short, they were all well-known common goods in another world. But in this world, they were definitely groundbreaking.

"...In short, survivability is extremely important for submarines. Whether it is a ballistic missile nuclear submarine or an attack submarine, the quietness effect is related to their survivability. This point must be further studied and improved."

In fact, Nanyang's level of submarine design is still very high. After all, there are a group of German engineers in Nanyang's shipyard. In terms of submarine design, San Dezi is definitely the industry leader. In the past few years, those engineers have not been idle and have been perfecting the design of the Type 1 submarine. After these years, Nanyang has already mastered the Type submarine and developed the U submarine based on it. In fact, it still uses the German Type segmented construction.

And now, when talking about these new technologies, Li Yian said.

"In fact, we don't have to focus only on nuclear submarines. We can also continue to research conventional submarines and apply nuclear submarine technology to conventional submarines. In other words, we can use conventional submarines to verify nuclear submarine technology..."

Zou Tongjie quickly agreed.

"Your Excellency is right. Conventional submarines are cheap to build, and using them as technology test boats will greatly reduce the cost."

“It’s more than just a technology test boat.”

Li Yian waved his hand and said.

"They can also be exported. The international market still needs submarines. Although the United States sent a large number of old submarines to its allies after the war, they will be retired in the next few years. At present, the United States will only develop nuclear submarines in the future and will no longer design and build conventional submarines. Therefore, those countries that do not have a submarine industry can only find other ways to equip new submarines."

Looking at Zou Tongjie and the engineers, Li Yian said.

"In the future, many third world countries, in particular, will plan to form submarine forces. Of course, those third world countries with vast ocean areas, such as Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, India and the like, also need submarines. What they need are large and medium-sized submarines with a displacement of more than 1000 tons and a range of more than 6000 nautical miles. In addition to them, there will be some countries that cannot obtain submarines from the United States or Western European countries for security reasons. For example, South American countries also have plans to form submarine forces. In the future, as the economies of various countries develop, they will inevitably put the formation of submarine forces on the agenda. In this way, this market is still very large."

How can this market be big? In another world, Germany exported as many as 209 Type 71 submarines alone!
Such successful experience must certainly be learned. The export of dozens of submarines can not only bring extremely lucrative profits, but also promote the development of submarine technology in the South China Sea.

Thinking of this, Li Yian suggested.

"Although we will focus on nuclear submarines, in order to fill this market gap, Nanyang can also develop a similar small submarine specifically for export. That is, an export-type submarine."
