Chapter 1215 The fourth Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine enters service

The four major space agencies seem to represent the evolution of the multipolar world today.

NASA is the strongest, followed by China. Russia's space agency inherited the Soviet space industry and its strength should not be underestimated. The European Space Agency is the weakest and has to rely on NASA.

The evolution of the multipolar world is also consistent with the four major space agencies.

The four major space agencies each have their own navigation satellites.

China's Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) is the most advanced, followed by the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS). Russia's GLONASS Satellite Navigation System (GLONASS) is also a mature satellite navigation system but tends to be military.

Europe proposed the Galileo satellite navigation system very early, but so far even the first Galileo satellite has not been launched and is still in the planning stage.

In the 1990s, the space blueprints announced by European and American countries, Japan and South Korea wanted to compete with China's space blueprint, but so far only China has been persevering in realizing the space blueprint it had drawn. European and American countries, Japan and South Korea have not made any moves at all, which is purely bragging.

Liu Tao left the Xichang Satellite Center and came to Yangcheng Shipyard.

In the evening, Liu Tao came to an outfitting dock. This outfitting dock is somewhat special. It is a closed type and uses advanced technology to shield space reconnaissance satellites.

Even if the aerial reconnaissance aircraft conducts reconnaissance, nothing can be detected.

Here, a Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine is docked.

This is China's fourth Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine, and now it will be officially handed over to the navy.

Of the four Type 094 strategic nuclear submarines, Yangcheng Shipyard is responsible for the construction of two, Beibu Gulf Shipyard is responsible for one, and the other is built at Bohai Shipyard.

As China's most advanced strategic nuclear submarine, it is a real national treasure. From a certain perspective, the deterrent power of the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine is even stronger than that of the Type 002B aircraft carrier.

Because it is a strategic nuclear submarine, it is an important part of the nuclear power trinity.

It can launch intercontinental ballistic missiles, carrying nuclear warheads, and attack the enemy from any ocean in the world.

It is difficult to hide the fixed silos of intercontinental missiles from major military powers. They are often targeted early. Once a war breaks out, the first wave of attacks will be the fixed silos of intercontinental missiles.

Therefore, in order to enhance the survivability of intercontinental missiles on land, there are vehicle-mounted intercontinental missiles. There are both large-scale carriers on the road carrying intercontinental missiles hidden in the woods, ready to launch at any time, and then maneuver at night. There are also train-mounted vehicles, which carry intercontinental missiles all over the country, making it impossible to capture them.

Air nuclear strike force relies on strategic bombers, and strategic bombers need to rely on large airports. Ordinary airports cannot allow strategic bombers to take off and land. Therefore, when a war breaks out, large airports will become the first wave of attack targets, thereby attacking the enemy's air nuclear strike force, that is, strategic bombers.

The most difficult of the three nuclear forces is the strategic nuclear submarine, because the strategic nuclear submarine is underwater, not easy to find, and hidden, and hard to defend.

The second nuclear strike force, the most survivable is the strategic nuclear submarine.

As China's most advanced strategic nuclear submarine, the 094 strategic nuclear submarine is also advanced enough in the world. It is a real national treasure, deterring jackals, tigers and leopards.

So far, the 093 tactical nuclear submarine has been announced, and CCTV has broadcast a documentary about the 093 tactical nuclear submarine. China's second aircraft carrier formation is equipped with two 093 tactical nuclear submarines, but the 094 strategic nuclear submarine has not been officially announced to the public, and even the outside world knows very little about it.

The outside world only speculated that China may have developed a new type of strategic missile nuclear submarine, but there were no more.

Even in the ranking of strategic nuclear submarines by those famous international military journals, China would only have the Type 092 strategic missile nuclear submarine, but not the Type 094 strategic missile nuclear submarine.

When the time came to three o'clock in the morning, the tide rose to the highest.

144 Type 094 strategic missile nuclear submarine officers and soldiers lined up neatly and held a ceremony to join the list.

There was no fanfare, only the CCTV filming team was filming the whole process.

Liu Tao issued the appointment certificate to the captain, and then encouraged him, and 144 naval officers and soldiers entered the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine.

The Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine began to dive and then entered the sea.

As the most deterrent existence of China's underwater forces, they bear a huge mission.

Even the naval base, the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine base, is a hollowed-out cave, and no one knows about entering and exiting, and the confidentiality level is also the highest.

Even the officers and soldiers who are in service have not retired. Even if they really have to leave one day, they will be assigned to other jobs.

Not only these officers and soldiers, but also the personnel who built the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarines are hiding their identities. This is to prevent leaks and protect them.

Maybe they will not need to hide their identities until the confidentiality level is lowered in 20 or 30 years.

Now there are only 4 Type 094 strategic nuclear submarines in service, which is far from enough. In the next ten years, that is, by 2015, China will have a total of 10 Type 094 strategic nuclear submarines in service.

After 2015, there will be the third-generation tactical attack nuclear submarine ‘Type 095’ attack nuclear submarine and the third-generation strategic missile nuclear submarine ‘Type 096’!

As early as before the millennium, Panshan Group had already established the third-generation tactical attack nuclear submarine development team and the third-generation strategic missile nuclear submarine development team.

The third-generation tactical attack nuclear submarine and strategic missile nuclear submarine will have a larger tonnage, better quiet effect, better internal working and living environment, deeper diving depth, and longer self-sustaining capacity.

This also means that many aspects must be broken through on the original basis.

A deeper diving depth means that new breakthroughs must be made in materials, so that the hull can withstand stronger underwater pressure under the same mass.

A larger tonnage means that under the premise of the same speed, the nuclear power needs to be stronger.

Stronger quietness requires further improvement in submarine shape design, propellers, etc.

It is precisely because the requirements for the third-generation nuclear submarine are higher that the design of the third-generation nuclear submarine has not been completed until now.

Liu Tao did not rush to get the third-generation nuclear submarine, because he is just one person, one person's ability is limited, experience is also limited, China not only needs him, but also needs a complete research and development force, so that it can continuously improve generation after generation.

In this process, although a lot of money will be invested in research and development and experiments, it seems to be a waste, but cultivating talent is necessary and worthwhile. (End of this chapter)
