The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

This submarine was named the ‘Type 039’ submarine by Liu Tao.

The ‘Type 039’ submarine is 66.8 meters long and 7.1 meters wide, with a surface displacement of 1,675 tons, an underwater displacement of 2,800 tons, a maximum diving depth of 400 meters, a maximum underwater speed of 21 knots, a cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles, a cruising range of 12,000 nautical miles at low speed, a self-sustaining capacity of 84 days at sea, and a crew of 35 people.

The hull is designed in a teardrop shape, with a rounded bow; the command platform enclosure is streamlined and has an inclined design at the front and rear, and the projection is trapezoidal, which can effectively reduce the resistance during navigation, and the two sides gradually merge with the hull deck. The stern rudder is an asymmetric cross rudder with a slightly inclined rear edge; the front horizontal rudder is installed on the top of the hull deck in front of the command platform enclosure.

The hull is made of high-strength, low-magnetic stainless steel, and the interior of the boat is divided into four compartments. The hull is designed to be smooth, with minimal surface openings. The openings are baffled to minimize the noise of seawater flow and reduce the chance of being detected by enemy passive sonar.

The hull structure adopts a single-hull composite design. The front part of the hull adopts a single-hull structure, and the rear part uses a double-hull structure to accommodate the fuel cell hydrogen storage container. In addition, there is a non-watertight upper structure on the upper part of the pressure hull, extending from the bow to the stern.

The entire submarine is divided from the bow to the stern into torpedo and front battery compartments (including living areas), central command compartments, rear battery compartments and electromechanical compartments. There is a pressure-resistant bulkhead between the central command compartment and the living area.

The power system adopts a diesel-electric and fuel cell hybrid propulsion system, 2 diesel engines, and 2 sets of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

The equipment system includes 8 self-propelled torpedo tubes at the bow that can launch various types of torpedoes, of which 4 tubes can launch "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles. Excluding the 8 in the launch tube, the boat can carry 24 torpedoes or missiles, equipped with a fast loading device.

In terms of avionics system, it is equipped with an integrated combat system with track management, target motion analysis, tactical situation display, control and guidance of torpedoes, and support for missile launch. The core of the system is the command and weapon control system, which receives and analyzes all input information, and then automatically starts the combat program. The integrated sensors and systems that provide information to the integrated combat system include sonar systems, surface sensors, navigation systems and communication information.

The sonar system consists of a side array, a cylindrical bow array and a reconnaissance sonar. It can perform low-frequency alert, noise monitoring, active/passive ranging, identification, attack and other tasks, and can automatically track 8 targets at the same time. The active detection distance of surface ships is 70 kilometers, and the passive detection distance is 25 kilometers. The entire system adopts fully digital technology and distributed computer structure, with good variability, applicability, availability and reliability.

The mine detection and lightning protection sonar system is a high-resolution active sonar. It can be used to detect mines, accurately locate and navigate mines, and enable submarines to avoid mines and mine obstacles and sail safely. The detection distance can reach 2000 when working in the high-frequency band.

It can be said that the 'Type 39' submarine has too many advanced technologies.

Whether it is the advanced AIP system, the quiet integrated design, or the integrated combat system, sonar system, etc., all of these have reached the world's leading level.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Type 39 submarine is the most advanced conventional submarine in the world.

"Now, the jackals, tigers and leopards should feel a headache!" Liu Tao's mouth curled up slightly.

What Liu Tao wants to do is to give the jackals, tigers and leopards a headache.

This design drawing was classified as top secret and the confidentiality department was arranged to keep it confidential. Liu Tao stayed in Panshan Group for another day.

In the evening, Liu Honglei and his family arrived in Kun City.

The next day, they set off together and took a plane to embark on the journey back to Beijing.

When Liu Tao arrived in Beijing, he found that there were more cars on the road on his way back to the courtyard.

The most of them were cars produced by Huaxia Automobile Group.

As the core of Huaxia, it is also at the forefront of the country in the changes of the times.

A few years ago, the roads were full of bicycles.

But in just a few years, cars and bicycles can be seen.

In this life, because of the rise of Huaxia Automobile Group, the "market for technology" did not happen.

To be honest, the strategy of exchanging market for technology in the automotive field is quite a failure.

Because joint venture cars sell well, they can make money without doing anything, so there is no motivation to develop technology on their own.

There are even cases where joint venture cars are unwilling to reduce prices.

This is also the laziness of people.

Who is willing to work hard for research and development when they can make money without doing anything?

It's just that with the rise of Huaxia Automobile Group, FAW, SAIC and other automobile companies have a hard time.

Every now and then, they have to face the beating of the leaders above, and they have to be criticized from time to time.

Purchasing transmissions and engines from Huaxia Automobile Group is not cheap. The money earned from the whole vehicle is hard-earned money, which is not as much as Huaxia Automobile's sales of transmissions and engines.

Moreover, FAW, SAIC, etc. are obviously not keeping up in sales and services, and have not changed from their past high-handedness.

This is the drawback of large state-owned enterprises. It is difficult to turn around when the ship is big!

They need to be constantly whipped and then forced to reform themselves.

Because if they do not reform themselves, they may go bankrupt.

Just half a month ago, a state-owned factory in Northeast China announced bankruptcy, which shocked the whole country.

Because this is the first state-owned factory to go bankrupt since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the past, jobs in state-owned factories were iron rice bowls. Even if the management was not good, the government would cover the bottom line and allocate funds to keep the state-owned factories running.

However, the bankruptcy of this state-owned factory has sounded the alarm for all state-owned enterprises in the country. If the management is not good, then state-owned enterprises will also go bankrupt.

Jobs in state-owned enterprises are not iron rice bowls!

Looking at the motorcycles and cars on the road, Liu Tao has a hunch that maybe in a few years, China will change from an oil exporter to an oil importer.

Arriving at the courtyard, Liu Tao saw Qian Huaqiang playing with his children. Apparently, Qian Huaqiang also returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year.

Just looking at Qian Huaqiang's image of a local tyrant, Liu Tao wanted to laugh in his heart.

Qian Huaqiang wore a suit, a thick gold necklace around his neck, a gold ring on his hand, and a "big brother" hanging around his waist.

If this image was put in twenty years, it would definitely be called a "nouveau riche".

The same image also appeared on Liu Qi.

Liu Qi also came back for the Spring Festival. Before he quit his job and went into business, Liu Qi had a hard life. Now it is different. He wears a thick gold necklace around his neck.

Seeing Liu Tao coming back, Qian Huaqiang and Liu Qi took the initiative to help move the luggage.

This time when Liu Tao came back, he bought a lot of good things in Yunnan Province. Every time he came back, Liu Tao would buy some, both for his family to eat and for gifts.

And this time when he came back for the Spring Festival, he bought much more than usual.
