Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Since the birth of automatic missiles, the Navy's dream of giant ship cannons has been shattered, and the Navy's attention has been drawn to it.

So the Navy began to study missiles on a large scale.

At present, a number of anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine missiles and cruise missiles are in service.

Now attack nuclear submarines have also been successfully commissioned.

However, the attack distance of attacking nuclear submarines is still a little too close.

So the Navy wants to put longer-range ballistic and cruise missiles on nuclear submarines.

It also requires that ballistic and cruise missiles be capable of carrying nuclear warheads for nuclear attacks.

Therefore, the Navy has intensively carried out the development of strategic missile nuclear submarines.

Now there is already experience in building nuclear submarines on the side of the Navy.

Although there were some problems during the sea trials, these were minor problems that could be solved through upgrades.

After accumulating experience, it will be easier to build large missile nuclear submarines.

After all, going from 0 to 1 is difficult, but going from 1 to 100 is a matter of time.

For this new nuclear submarine 29 boat, the Navy's positioning is also very clear.

That is for launching submarine-launched and cruise missiles.

So the tonnage is also more than 10,000 tons.

The current NR-2 pressurized water reactor does not meet the needs of submarines in terms of power.

More powerful marine reactors are required.

In the case of ship reactors, the power is large enough.

For example, the output of the NR-3G pressurized water reactor now installed on nuclear-powered cruisers can reach 4 horsepower.

The abundance of fuel rods in nuclear reactors has also reached 92%.

But this thing can't be used on submarines.

One is that it is larger.

Second, there is a big difference between boat use and ship use.

The reactor used by submarines has great requirements for quietness, but not for power.

This also results in a relatively low power output for a single reactor.

If it is used on large ships, there will be a situation of small horse-drawn carts.

For example, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier in modern space-time France is an example of this.

There are many problems with small horse-drawn carts.

And the words of ship reactors.

Since the volume limitation is not large, the power can be made greater.

Since large warships need to operate at full power for a long time.

Therefore, the reliability requirements for the reactor are very high.

Therefore, it must be that the nuclear power reactors of either submarines or surface ships are different in terms of technical route.

That's why it is necessary to develop a special type of reactor.

For example, the nuclear-powered supercarrier designed by Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry Group has made strict requirements in terms of power.

Because the new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will use twin reactors as power output.

It is required that the power of a single stack must reach more than 130,000 horsepower.

That's a total power of 260,000 horsepower.

In this way, it is possible to ensure that the maximum speed of the aircraft carrier can reach more than 30 knots.

This is still the minimum requirement.

You must know that the conventionally powered supercarrier that is now being built is also in the 100,000-ton class.

But its power reached 320,000 horsepower.

So if the power output of a single stack can reach 150,000 horsepower.

is a more reasonable range.

This is not an ordinary high requirement for Huaxia Nuclear Industry Group.

If you really can't figure it out.

A backup power system will be used.

Use 4 reactors with a single reactor up to 80,000 hp.

This also allows the total power to reach 320,000 horsepower.

Able to meet the use of nuclear-powered supercarriers.

But then there will be less space inside the carrier.

However, the impact is not particularly large.

The benefits of using four piles are not without their benefits.

At least higher in terms of security.

For example, if any of the four piles happens.

The remaining three reactors are also capable of retaining 75% of their power output. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

At present, Huaxia's research results in the field of nuclear reactors are still very fruitful.

It is not very difficult to develop a special model of marine reactor specifically for strategic missile nuclear submarines.

It is only necessary to develop on the basis of the NR-2 pressurized water reactor.

Increasing the power of a single pile to 30,000 horsepower is enough to drive a submarine of 20,000 tons.

Not to mention the fact that the tonnage of strategic missile nuclear submarines is not so high.

The Navy is now very interested in nuclear power.

I even want to change all ships to nuclear power.

For example, new amphibious landing ships, dock landing ships and even destroyers.

However, Zhang Xueming's decisive action poured cold water on their enthusiasm for nuclear power.

The reason is also very simple, this thing is too expensive and the manufacturing cost is too high.

Although the endurance of nuclear-powered ships is equivalent to unlimited, the cost of replacing fuel is also quite high.

There's not much money saved in this regard.

It's just that one is ongoing and one is one-off.

This is like the fuel car and electric car in modern space.

The biggest advantage of electric vehicles is fuel efficiency, and the travel cost is very low.

For fuel vehicles, the cost of refueling is relatively high.

But if the electric car is replaced by electricity, the price is enough for the fuel vehicle to add ten years of fuel.

This is actually the difference between nuclear-powered warships and conventional-powered warships.

In fact, the demand for the construction of nuclear-powered cruisers is not particularly high.

But now the Navy can afford it, and it doesn't matter.

After all, World War II is imminent, and it is still necessary to increase some combat effectiveness.

In the case of destroyers, it is completely unnecessary.

Now marine gas turbine units have been developed.

It is planned to be installed on the latest Type 40 destroyers.

So the Type 40 destroyers will also be divided into two construction batches.

Only 8 Type 40 destroyers using heavy oil boilers as an active system will be built.

Subsequently, two gas turbines will be used as the full-combustion propulsion system.

This is even less necessary for other ships.

At present, the main power system of warships still adopts a combination of steam turbine + oil boiler.

Even in the 21st century, 230s and 217s, it is still the mainstream warship power system.

Therefore, whether it is an amphibious assault ship, a dock landing ship or other ships built later, it will continue to use this classic combination.

After all, the largest power of heavy oil boiler steam turbines in China has exceeded 350,000 horses.

This has almost reached its current limit.

With the approach of the Great War, the Navy has recently begun to pay attention to amphibious landing operations.

Construction of a batch of 8 Tokai-class light multipurpose aircraft carriers began again.

Although this light aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of only 15,000 tons.

Only 20 F4U carrier-based fighter-bombers can be carried.

But after testing, its combat effectiveness is quite good.

The Navy now uses it entirely as a light amphibious assault ship.

So I also changed its name.

It is not called the Tokai-class aircraft carrier, but the Tokai-class multipurpose amphibious assault ship.

The planned number of equipment is about 20 ships.

New heavy amphibious assault ships are still under construction.

Many design aspects are borrowed from the Tokai class.

It mainly carries propeller fighters and helicopters.

And the words of the dock landing ship are specially designed for landing operations.

It is mainly used to carry amphibious tanks, armored vehicles, hovercraft, etc. for coastal landing operations.

Whether it is landing on the mainland of the Urakuni, recovering the Bay Island, or landing on other islands.

It's all must-haves.
