In reality, in the apocalypse, even a giant ocean freighter is useful, let alone a pair of underwear or a roll of toilet paper.

Moreover, it's such a huge ocean freighter. See? Its use is already apparent.

After a brief report from the team, Li Ming began inspecting the base. He started with the two naval shipyards that had been completed and were already in operation.

The experts in the shipyard also met with Li Ming, and he had a dedicated communication and exchange with them.

"Old Wang, you are an expert in naval vessel production. Can you tell me about the current situation of our shipyard?"

This Old Wang was an expert recruited by Li Ming through the system, which is why Li Ming specifically asked him. Li Ming has always been cautious about matters concerning his army.

"Chief, this shipyard is currently a first-class shipyard, with 30 shipbuilding berths, meaning it can simultaneously construct and upgrade 30 ships."

"Based on our current situation, this first-class shipyard can produce ships with a displacement of up to 15,000 tons. This naval shipyard can build 10,000-ton destroyers, as well as missile destroyers of several thousand tons. In addition, it can also build nuclear submarines and conventional submarines."

"Furthermore, doomsday submarines can also be built. Currently, the shipyard's construction speed is about 15 to 30 tons per day, which is basically sufficient for us."

"This shipyard allows the Chief to use survival points and consume some resources to build warships. Currently, the main type that can be built is conventional submarines, which can adopt some of the technology from the doomsday submarines. The displacement is about 6,300 tons, close to a nuclear submarine."

"The advantage of large displacement is that it can carry more personnel and weapons. Moreover, after using some of the technology from the doomsday submarines, these conventional submarines already have similar survivability to doomsday submarines, but the construction cost will be lower."

Li Ming nodded as he listened, "Old Wang, without using doomsday submarine technology, what is the range of the conventional submarine?"

"About 20,000 nautical miles. Beyond 20,000 nautical miles, fuel and various supplies need to be added to the submarine. Of course, this is all theoretical. In reality, considering factors such as personnel psychology and health, this conventional submarine can only navigate underwater for a maximum of 2 months before the crew needs a vacation."

"However, purely in terms of the submarine's own performance, as long as we use the dimensional pocket to carry enough fuel, the range of this submarine is almost unlimited."

"Of course, this also has its drawbacks, which is that it cannot stay underwater all the time and needs to surface regularly to recharge. But even so, our submarines use our latest solid-state batteries, and can fully rely on electricity to stay underwater for 2 months before recharging."

"In the submarine sector, we have adopted a multi-channel oxygen supply method. One aspect is to directly produce oxygen by electrolyzing water.

This method has many advantages, as it can make full use of seawater resources. We have calculated that the solid-state batteries equipped on the submarine can still be sufficient for two months of use even when electrolyzing water at full speed."

"The second method is to adopt the latest air regeneration devices. These devices can eliminate some of the carbon dioxide in the submarine, as well as eliminate some harmful exhaust gases inside our submarine. At the same time, we will also urgently reserve a large number of oxygen-generating candles, as well as a large amount of compressed air and related chemical oxygen generators. In summary, the combat capability of this submarine is not much worse than that of a nuclear submarine."

"If we use doomsday submarine technology, how much can the performance of this submarine be improved? How much can the survival rate be improved?" Li Ming asked.

"According to our calculations, after using a lot of doomsday submarine technology, the comprehensive combat capability of the submarine is improved by about 25%, and the survival capability is improved by 45%. The main increases are in impact resistance, attack resistance, and various survival-related capabilities. Even if it is hit by a torpedo, it is not enough to sink equipment using doomsday submarine technology."

Li Ming needs professional personnel to evaluate in order to decide which equipment to mass-produce. After listening to this, he felt that this doomsday submarine technology was still very necessary.

"Immediately mass-produce conventional submarines using doomsday submarine technology. In addition, doomsday submarines must also be produced," Li Ming ordered. Soon, Secretary Wang began to convey the order.

After conveying the order, Li Ming asked again, "Old Wang, what about the submarine's armament?"

"Chief, that's much easier. Currently, the submarines you have obtained basically use the original submarine's matching missiles after our modification and upgrade. All newly built submarines are equipped with our new missiles, in addition to intercontinental missiles, there should also be a large number of ordinary missiles."

"According to the data of our latest developed and tested Sea Hawk 1 submarine-launched missile, the missile has a range of 16,500 kilometers, a length of 4 meters, and a diameter of about 45 centimeters. It can carry nuclear warheads and conventional warheads, and the cost is lower than the previous intercontinental missiles."

"This intercontinental submarine-launched missile has better performance, and is more convenient in terms of maintenance and other aspects. In addition to being used by nuclear submarines, it can also be equipped on conventional submarines."

"In addition to this intercontinental missile, there is also the Seagull 1 ship-based cruise missile, with a range of 4,500 kilometers. Each submarine can carry 50 cruise missiles. This cruise missile has a flight speed of Mach 15 and a terminal penetration speed of Mach 30. It can not only attack ground targets, but also launch attacks on maritime targets."

"In addition to these missiles, the submarine itself has 6 torpedo tubes, four in the front and two in the back, equipped with 533mm heavy torpedoes, which are common with the warships.

The matching Yu-1 torpedo has excellent performance, and the torpedo uses a precise acoustic guidance system plus an underwater imaging system. It can use acoustic guidance and underwater imaging technology for dual guidance. The seeker uses underwater imaging technology to try to avoid the interference of decoy torpedoes and directly hit the enemy ship.

This type of precision range can reach 90 kilometers, and the speed is 275 knots. Within this range, as long as the enemy ship is locked, it will be tracked by the torpedo."

"In addition to these weapons, this submarine also has special features. It adopts the latest propellers and engines, as well as the latest sound-absorbing tiles and anti-vibration technology. It is basically a veritable ocean black hole.

At least with the current military warship sonar technology, it is basically impossible to detect our submarine sailing underwater."
