Diesel electric submarines use diesel engines on the surface and batteries under the water. Due to the limited power of batteries, they have to surface for air exchange and charge the batteries at regular intervals.

This is also the most dangerous time for submarines. Many submarines were destroyed on the surface.

Under the proposal of chirek, Germany invented the vent pipe, which can start the diesel engine for charging without floating out of the water. However, after all, the vent pipe is exposed, and the diesel engine will emit black smoke during operation and float over the water, so it is easy to be found.

Therefore, the best solution is nuclear power!

In later generations, only the five hooligans have nuclear submarines, which are a powerful tool for them to safeguard their own interests.

At the time of the Taiwan Strait crisis, Uncle Sam's aircraft carrier formation approached. As a result, the satellite found that the nuclear submarines in the nuclear submarine base in China had disappeared. Even if the nuclear submarines were still noisy Han class at that time, Uncle Sam withdrew his own aircraft carrier 100 nautical miles for insurance.

In history, nuclear submarines made a breakthrough in the 1950s, but now history has been greatly advanced.

The theory of nuclear fission was advanced by leaps and bounds in the 1920s and 1930s. As long as there is enough investment and the direction is correct, a breakthrough can be made.

For example, in history, Heisenberg made a mistake and thought that the atomic bomb could not be built. As a result, he focused on nuclear reactors. He had carried out many nuclear reactor experiments before Germany failed.

Now, with the help of Chirac, experiments on nuclear reactors have been carried out earlier.

At the beginning, in the Libyan base, German researchers began to work hard for the breakthrough of nuclear technology. Although their main purpose is to use the combustion of nuclear reactors to generate nuclear fuel and achieve the goal of making nuclear bombs, the heat generated by nuclear reactors is still used by them to generate electricity and generate electricity for the whole base, Nuclear reactors are enough.

The nuclear reactors in the Libyan base have been in safe operation for seven or eight years. With the investment of Germany, larger reactors are constantly built. After all, it takes a huge amount to generate enough reactors to make nuclear bomb raw materials.

At the same time, the nuclear reactor specially used for submarines has also been studied as a special subject.

On land, you don't have to worry about the volume and weight of the nuclear reactor. Using thick cement concrete as the shell is very safe and can also prevent the emission of rays.

However, on submarines, it must be simplified.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sheikh."

When Shrek walked into the slipway, he saw a young scientist.

Werner Karl Heisenberg is not yet 40 years old, but he is already the most authoritative nuclear technology expert in Germany. Under his leadership, German researchers are overcoming various technical difficulties of nuclear bombs.

At the same time, he also needs to be responsible for the development of the nuclear reactor of the nuclear submarine. Now, while the nuclear submarine is under construction, he has come to the shipyard to carry out some coordination work.

Heisenberg is very excited to see Shrek, not only because Shrek is the head of the Empire, but also technical experts. You know, everything now comes from a nuclear fission equation, which was proposed by Shrek.

In the construction of nuclear reactors, Shrek has put forward many plans.

"Dr. Heisenberg, thank you for your contribution to the Empire." Shrek reached out and shook Heisenberg's hand warmly.

"We have frozen the design drawings." Heisenberg said: "for the nuclear power system of this submarine, we have built a special simulation reactor on land. After verification, there is no problem at all, but the power is not enough. After calculation, the maximum speed of the submarine will not exceed 15 knots."

After all, in less than 40 years, various industrial technologies are not as developed as those of later generations. In later generations, all nuclear submarines can soar to a high speed of 30 knots.

But not now.

Various pipelines can not bear too much pressure. After the pressure is high, various problems will appear. At the same time, there are great restrictions on the power density of the nuclear reactor. The submarine has been enlarged to a displacement of 6000 tons, and it can only reach a speed of 15 knots.

However, compared with diesel electric submarines, it is nothing.

Diesel electric submarines, when using batteries underwater, can run at a speed of up to 17 knots, but in this case, valuable power will be consumed at an amazing speed, even in an hour.

But now, this nuclear powered submarine can run for several months at a speed of 15 knots, which depends entirely on the underwater bearing capacity of the submarine soldiers.

Shrek nodded: "well, this is just the beginning. We can't pursue too high technical goals. The main thing is to ensure safety."

Submarine soldiers are one of the most dangerous arms. As long as there are problems, there are almost no survivors.

Diesel electric submarines are no exception. After being attacked, the battery of diesel electric submarines is often damaged. When seawater enters the battery, terrible hydrogen will be generated. Then, the hydrogen will explode in open fire, and the whole submarine will be fragmented underwater. No one can survive.

The nuclear powered submarine, the key is the problem of nuclear leakage. The lethality of radiation to people is great.

"Yes, we used a lot of thick type plates in the nuclear reactor and the primary circuit." Heisenberg said: "at the same time, a large number of radiation recorders are set up on the submarine. Once the radiation exceeds the standard, it will call the police immediately."

Using lead plates to block rays is a common method. Of course, this method will also increase the weight of submarines.

"Nuclear reactors should have safety capability, especially after an accident, they should be able to shut down safely without control failure." Hilrick continued.

Future nuclear power plant accidents still warn mankind that if you open the Pandora box, you must have the ability to cover it.

"Yes, the most important thing for this nuclear reactor is safety, so it reduces the output power and makes shutdown easier." Heisenberg nodded.

"The second problem is the noise of submarines. It must be solved well, which is related to the survival of submarines."

Xierik is very clear that the magic weapon for submarines to survive underwater is silence. Only when they become an ocean black hole can they make silent attacks. The lower the noise, the better the concealment.
