C1262 The Reactor of the Nuclear Submarine
The Los Angeles class nuclear submarine was the latest generation of nuclear attack submarines in Y Country, a product of all sorts of advanced technology in the mid-1970s.
It reduced noise to the greatest extent. Other than various shock absorption measures, another thing was its unique S6G water pressure reactor. The reactor was modified from the D2G water pressure reactor used on the Y Country Navy missile cruiser in the 1960s. Its biggest feature was that when it sailed at a low speed in Los Angeles... The reactor on the boat could operate naturally without the need to start a loop main pump on the road to lower the noise on the boat.
For nuclear submarines, the biggest source of noise was two. One was the propeller at the tail, and the other was the circulating water pump of the reactor.
For ordinary reactors, even if it was the lowest power, this circulating water pump had to be turned on. As long as it was turned on, it would make noise.
For example, for the nuclear submarine in Han Country, this circulating water pump made a huge noise, and it was discovered by other submarines far away.
However, Los Angeles had achieved a miracle. In low-speed sailing, the return route of the nuclear reactor had achieved a natural cycle. There was no need for the water pump to be activated, so the noise was greatly reduced.
Of course, if one wanted the nuclear submarine to sail at full speed, it was impossible to not open the circulating pump of the nuclear reactor. At its highest state, the S6G hydraulic water reactor could provide 35,000 horsepower, which could meet the needs of the super submarine to carry out a short-distance direct support mission at high speed and intercept the enemy submarine.
The Los Angeles class nuclear submarine was the pride of Y Country Navy. It was their weapon to fight the Bear Country submarine underwater. Now, it was also a good opportunity for Han Navy to practice.
At this moment, under the water, the Los Angeles class nuclear submarine was sailing at a low speed of three knots with low noise. The main circulation pump was stopped, and the entire submarine was silent.
Wearing a clean military uniform, the captain Bill was calmly directing the submarine forward.
After the Bear Country submarine accelerated, Bill realized that the situation was not good. After chasing at full speed for less than three minutes, Bill decided to stop chasing.
Now, the Bear Country submarine had no choice but to float out of the water after the explosion of the deep water bomb. This tragic situation of travelling together made Bill feel the brutality of the underwater world.
As the kings of the underwater world, they had to leave this place safely. If they were discovered by the enemy and were attacked again, it would be a big mistake.
"Sonar buoyancy, there are four directions." At this moment, as if they were afraid something would come, the Sonar User said something that Captain Bill did not want to hear the most.
The submarine in Bear Country had already been expelled. Now, there was still someone throwing buoys, so they must be looking for them!
"Attention, stop the propellers. We will float with the current." Captain Bill said.
The nuclear submarine was already sailing at low noise. If they wanted to lower the noise, they could only stop the propellers. If that was the case, they would have to stop the propellers. ... The nuclear submarine was silent, just like a whale. Moving along with the currents was the quietest.
"The most advanced in Han Country is the Nimrod Antisubmarine Aircraft imported from Cattle Country. In the past, as long as we turn off the propellers, we would be able to make them return empty-handed." Bill said.
The equipment in the Han Country came from the Cattle Country. The Y Country and Cattle Country often held joint exercises. In the Northern Daxi Ocean, anti-submarine training was common. It was not easy to find them.
If they only had the Nimrod Antisubmarine Aircraft, they would not be discovered. However, if they had completed the data network and had more advanced algorithms, it would be different.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Counter diving at night was a test of the combat ability of the troops.
"Target discovered. Direction discovered. Introduction discovered. Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction to Introduction." On the Nimrod Antisubmarine Aircraft, suddenly, the system had already screened the target!
"Do the same thing, shoot two anti-dive bullets!" General Zhao said.
When they were dealing with the Bear Country submarine, they did not hold back. More than ten anti-submarine bombs had gone over. Now that they knew that they were dealing with the Y Country Navy submarine, they had to give them some face. They could just force them out.
In the dark night, two anti-submarine bombs flew out of the rocket launcher, dragging flames behind them.
Sitting on No.111, Qin Guan knew that this time's anti-submarine battle was about to come to an end.
"These people from Y Country and the nuclear submarines of Bear Country are all very advanced. The noise under the water is very low. Our current anti-submarine strength... We can already find them. It's really not easy. However, I wonder when our submarine will be able to reach this level. "
General Zhao was waiting for the news of the other party's submarine surfacing. At the same time, he continued to chat with Qin Guan about the construction of the navy.
The nuclear submarine in Han Country only solved the problem of whether there were any. The noise was quite loud. The technology was a role that would be followed the moment it left the port. If the war really came and the enemy's Water Surface Ship targeted them... The outcome would definitely be more tragic than the current situation in Bear Country and Y Country.
"That's right. Our national defense industry has a huge flaw. The submarine is even more so, it needs our scientific researchers. Continue to work hard and study advanced technology. " Qin Guan said, "On a nuclear submarine, the most important technology is the nuclear reactor."
When the nuclear reactor was mentioned, suddenly, a word appeared in Qin Guan's mind: high-temperature air cooling reactor!0
The principle of a nuclear reactor was very simple. It used nuclear fission to produce heat. It was like using a boiler to boil water. A nuclear reactor was a big boiler.
Ordinary reactors were water pressure reactors. The nuclear material was soaked in liquid. The liquid flowed. On one hand, it dispersed heat for the reactor, and on the other hand, it took heat away. It was used to heat up the second circuit and push the steam turbine.
The water pressure reactors were the most mature nuclear reactors in this era. Actually, when scientists first started to research reactors, the first thing they thought of was the gas, such as carbon dioxide, was the cooling agent.
For example, the slow core of a normal graphite and several powerful air blowers. It could easily form a reactor. The electric drum's structure was much simpler than the current water pressure reactor main pump, and the cold air core never had to worry about the nuclear leakage. Not to mention the cooling agent leakage.
Under extreme circumstances, as long as the wind blew at the core, there was no risk of the core melting. The safety was much higher than the current popular water pressure and boiling water reactors!
Therefore, when countries were developing commercial reactors in the early stages, they chose the technical route of the air cooling reactor without hesitation. Cattle Country was even one step ahead of them, building the first commercial air-cooled reactor in human history. The outdated Sun Never Sets Empire once again showed the strength of a skinny camel that was bigger than a horse to the world.
