The rise of nanometers

Just when all the spectators were talking about it.

There are new changes on the sea.

In the middle of the smooth back of the submarine, four launch covers suddenly popped open, four flashes of fire flashed instantly, and for a moment, a low roar of rocket engines reached the ears of Lewis and Ross.

The high-speed camera set up on the deck of the observation boat captured this scene. After watching the playback of the scene, Ross frowned again.

The data analyst reported to him: "Chief of Staff Ross, according to the calculation and analysis results, the size of the missile is 7.2 meters in length and 2 meters in diameter. This is the first time a new model has been detected."

Length 7.2 meters? Diameter 2 meters?

Ross realized in an instant that this type of missile had no other possibility than using N20 fuel.

After all, minus the 3-meter length of the warhead, the remaining rocket engine is only 4.2 meters long. It uses conventional solid fuel and has a maximum range of about 3,000 kilometers.

Ross did not believe that the other party would use conventional solid fuel. He turned around and ordered: "Let the satellite department track the whole process."

"OK." The data analyst nodded.

After firing four missiles, the submarine quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared from the sea a few minutes later.

Suddenly, four water columns burst out of the sea, and four more missiles were launched from the submarine, this time in submarine launch mode.

Through high-speed cameras, Ross and others determined that the two batches before and after were the same model of missiles.

At this time, forces with satellite monitoring capabilities around the world also locked onto these supersonic missiles, but it was of little use just to lock them in because they flew very fast.

Due to the high energy of N20 propellant, it not only increases the flight speed, but also increases the range. It can perform some high-speed maneuvers, making it difficult for the interception system to lock the specific flight trajectory.

At a cruising speed of 9 times the speed of sound, after 3 to 5 maneuverable orbit changes, the first batch of four missiles hit four targets 5,300 kilometers, 6,700 kilometers away, 7,500 kilometers away, and 8,500 kilometers away after 52 minutes of full sprint. target ship.

Ross, who got the satellite monitoring data immediately, fell silent while looking at the satellite monitoring track.

Lewis took the document and knew the range of this new missile. Although the straight-line distance was 5,300 kilometers to 8,500 kilometers, in fact, due to several high-speed maneuvers in the middle, the opponent's range had exceeded 10,000 kilometers.

Sure enough, the second batch that followed them all flew about 12,000 kilometers in a straight line before hitting the target target ship.

The black fish rushed out of the sea again and launched the remaining 28 missiles in one go.

Lewis, Ross and others were stunned.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Lewis said with a slightly trembling tone: "It's amazing, it actually carries 36 strategic missiles."

Ross on the side was also frightened.

Their current Ohio-class submarines can only carry 24 Trident C4/D5 missiles. Facing the similarly powerful Julang-2A, the new submarine can carry 36 Trident C4/D5 missiles, which is definitely a formidable opponent.

What's more, the new submarine has the silent effect of an oceanic black hole, lurking in the vast Pacific Ocean, and is absolutely difficult to detect.

Based on this estimate, Lewis discovered to his dismay that it was difficult for them to block each other, and the existence of the first island chain had become useless.

Lewis and Ross paid more attention to submarines than surface ships. After all, this silent killer can sometimes be very deadly.

…

at the same time.

The Northeast Pacific Ocean Basin is an undersea basin with an average water depth of 4,000 to 6,000 meters.

Two huge black fish with dark blue "scales" appeared silently in the area. The tails of the black fish are three shaftless pump systems, combined with the super power of high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, allowing them to travel 51 kilometers underwater speed per hour.

This is the first batch of Type 95 strategic nuclear submarines built. There are currently three in service, with the internal code name "Huo Qubing class". The one that appeared in the Nansha exercise was numbered 95-3 and the ship number was "Li Guang" Number".

The two ships currently carrying out secret missions are the Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

Inside the command cabin of the Huo Qubing.

Captain Ma Fenwu looked at his electronic watch and then at the navigation map. Their current location was in the Northeast Pacific basin, between the Hawaiian Islands and California.

It is only about 2,362 kilometers away from San Francisco, the capital of California, and only about 1,241 kilometers away from Honolulu, the capital of the Hawaiian Islands.

This distance is so close.

The design of the Huo Qubing class uses a lot of new materials, resulting in a significant reduction in the overall dead weight. If it is built with old materials, to achieve the same performance, the weight needs to be increased by 37.3%.

The reduction in dead weight increases the available weight and space, and combined with the thermoelectric power generation system, improves the energy utilization efficiency of the nuclear reactor.

Compared with the previous Type 94, the Type 95 has a larger internal space, which is one of the reasons why it can be equipped with 36 Julang 2s.

The advantage of the larger space is that it can provide submariners with a more comfortable working environment. It is equipped with a new air purification system, internal water circulation system, and leisure and entertainment room.

This leisure and entertainment room is covered with fully sealed sound-absorbing materials to ensure that internal sound is not transmitted out. The overall cost has reached more than two million.

This effort is well worth it, because working for a long time in a closed, narrow and depressing space like a submarine will cause serious psychological stress to the personnel.

In the leisure and entertainment room, they can watch movies and TV series, talk loudly, and relieve their inner pressure.

In addition, the walls of the leisure and entertainment room are equipped with large-area nano-screens, which can simulate various natural environments and make people feel immersed in the scene.

Captain Ma Fenwu picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a low voice: "Everyone is here, ready to launch."

"3, 2, 1, launch."

On the back of the Huo Qubing class, one of the launch windows instantly popped open, and a Julang 2 was launched from it. Then, with lightning speed, it rushed out of the sea and sprinted towards the spacecraft cemetery in the South Pacific at full speed.

In an instant.

Arlington, USA.

In the NRO's satellite monitoring room, the harsh and urgent alarm sounded in everyone's ears. The sound was like a sledgehammer, hitting their fragile little hearts hard.

The satellite surveillance screen showed that a flying object suddenly appeared on the uninhabited sea in the Northeast Pacific, and it was a supersonic flying object reaching a speed of Mach 9.

In fact, they had been notified in advance of this test launch, and there were many anti-submarine destroyers in the area, searching for the arrogant undersea ghost.

After all, if this kind of thing is not notified in advance, the possibility of a misfire is too high.

But this kind of advance notice was even more insulting, because their anti-submarine systems and anti-submarine destroyers had been guarding the nearby waters for more than a week, and as a result, a huge wave 2 rose into the sky right before their eyes.

His face was swollen, so embarrassing.

After launching a Julang 2, the Huo Qubing and Wei Qing quickly oiled their feet and left towards the South Pacific.

However, the sonar detection system densely distributed in the surrounding sea area seemed to be deaf and did not detect anything abnormal.

If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Julang 2, no one would have thought that there were two submarines hidden in such a tight monitoring network.

The appearance of the huge wave was like a tsunami, making the seemingly airtight sonar detection system useless in an instant.
