1089. Lessons From Nuclear Submarines

The monster's black body is slender and burly, and its overall appearance is smooth and streamlined from front to back. Its head is delicate and round, its pressure-resistant shell is super long, and its outline is low. There is a low 'dorsal fin' on the back, which is called 'conning tower' in terms of terminology.

And the scientific name of this monster is a nuclear submarine.

Qin Shiou saw a nuclear submarine for the first time with his own eyes. This guy is really huge, with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of more than 15 meters. When that huge body shuttles in the ocean, the pressure it can generate is unprecedented. See you.

Giant monsters are awesome enough, right? Sea pythons are scary enough, right? But their bodies, which are more than ten meters long, are not even grandsons compared to this nuclear submarine!

Although it was the first time to see this big monster with his own eyes, Qin Shiou had seen it many times on websites and military magazines: Seawolf-class nuclear submarine!

After the sea god consciousness shrouded the sea area where the submarine was located, Qin Shiou quickly confirmed its specific identity, which was one of the US Navy's tactical killers, the "Connecticut".

The reason why it can determine its identity comes from the huge logo painted on the side of the submarine with white paint: ssn22. This is its code name and its identity, the USS Connecticut nuclear submarine!

Qin Shiou is considered half a fan of the military. When he has nothing to do, he will dive in some military forums and brag with his friends. Because of the heart of the sea god, he has paid more attention to the world's navy after he came to Canada. For the Seawolf class nuclear submarine, But I have long wanted it.

The Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, the successor to the Los Angeles-class attack submarine, began construction in 1989 at the end of the Cold War. It was considered to be an expensive nuclear submarine at the time, at the beginning of the design. The unit price is expected to reach one billion U.S. dollars. After a series of transformation and strengthening, the unit price of this type of submarine has risen to two billion U.S. dollars.

At the beginning of the design, the U.S. Navy planned to build 29 Seawolf-class submarines at a rate of 3 ships per year within 10 years. Then create a huge underwater nuclear force capable of deterring the whole world.

However, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, the reduction of the defense budget and some technical problems, the construction plan of the Seawolf class, which was too expensive, was cancelled.

How high is the price of this submarine? Take the third USS Jimmy Carter of the Seawolf class as an example. The cost of this submarine is as high as 3.2 billion US dollars! Just such a submarine can support all the navies of a medium-sized country!

Even the rich and powerful American emperors do not have the spare capacity to support too many Seawolf-class nuclear submarines, and only three have been built so far. The ssn22 in front of Qin Shiou's eyes is the second of the three brothers.

And with just three submarines, Russia, China and other countries that don't like the US imperialism have been frightened.

After discovering that the nuclear submarine was following, Qin Shiou immediately sent an order to the monster to throw away the alloy mace in his hand without saying a word. Hurry up to dive deep underwater, and the sea pythons also have to dive underwater quickly and then evade. He can't let the people in the submarine discover these big guys.

However, looking at the direction and route tracked by the nuclear submarine, they obviously found the giant monster and his party. According to the driving route, the nuclear submarine was completely chasing after the giant monster and the sea pythons.

Qin Shiou is not afraid, nuclear submarines cannot capture giant monsters and sea pythons. Because its diving depth limit is 600 meters, and the giant monsters and sea pythons are transformed by the energy of the sea god, and their deep diving capabilities are extremely strong. Guys like giant monsters who are originally deep-sea creatures can dive six to seven kilometers underwater.

However, being targeted by a nuclear submarine is a bit troublesome, especially judging from the intensity of the tremors in the water around the submarine, the submarine has already turned on its active sonar. The trajectory of the giant monster and his party has been captured a long time ago, which means not letting go.

This made Qin Shiou couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. These American soldiers are really idle, you said they will not go to Somalia to fight pirates. What are you doing wandering around the Atlantic Ocean? And even if there are giant monsters on the bottom of the sea, then you still provoke you? The world police still manage the ocean now?

With the size of giant monsters and sea serpents and their momentum during the parade, the Connecticut could lock them even with passive sonar instead of active sonar, but they didn't know what the captain was thinking, so they didn't launch an attack.

It is easy to get rid of the pursuit of the nuclear submarine, deep diving is enough, but it is very difficult to get rid of its sonar capture.

The USS Connecticut is equipped with the most advanced sonar and electronic systems in the world, the most important is the an/bqq-5d integrated sonar kit, and the bow has an active/passive spherical array sonar. This thing sounds like a drum With a diameter of up to 6 meters, it can definitely be a hound nose in the ocean.

In addition, there are an/bqg-5 wide-bore passive array sonars and a tb-16 and tb-23 passive towed array sonars on both sides of the ship; there is also a bqq-5e high-frequency close-range active sonar on the bow Na, extremely sensitive, not to mention as huge as a king squid, even a bigger cod cannot avoid its catch.

If the USS Connecticut only turned on the passive sonar, it would actually be easier to handle. Passive sonar uses personnel or instruments to analyze the frequencies of various sounds in the ocean, and then analyze and compare them to determine what is around the submarine.

In this way, even if giant monsters are caught, they can also be used as floating reefs in the ocean to confuse them.

But the submarine has turned on the active sonar, which is something learned from the bionics of bats. It can emit sound waves. If the sound waves encounter obstacles in the ocean, they will return. contour.

In other words, the people in the submarine already knew what they were chasing. They knew the outlines of the king squid and the giant pythons, and they seemed to want to hunt down these huge monsters and bring them back for research.

Qin Shiou commanded the Imperial Guards to dive deep while observing the actions of the nuclear submarine. If they gave up chasing the Imperial Guards, the two sides would not interfere with each other. If they made any moves, he would have to teach the submarine a lesson.

The Poseidon consciousness is a bug in the ocean. It is a mass of energy that cannot be detected by human instruments. It is like a ghost killer who can torment opponents at will.

Reality disappointed him. The U.S. Navy gave up chasing the ocean monsters when they chose to escape into the deep water, but opened the torpedo tube. Following the appearance of a series of huge and dense bubbles, a series of small bombs appeared...

At the critical moment, Qin Shiou hurriedly controlled the monsters and sea pythons to disperse and escape. At the same time, the consciousness of the remaining two sea gods swept the sea water to create an undercurrent. It shook slightly. (to be continued)
