Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The Tesla Institute has been very busy recently. The rocket working with Robert Goddard's team is progressing smoothly. The latest goal of Robert Goddard's team is to send an artificial satellite into space within ten years.

The Tesla Research Institute's own projects are also progressing smoothly. Although the vertical take-off and landing unmanned bomber project is out of reach, at least the goal of vertical take-off and landing has been achieved. The first prototype manufactured by Nyasaland Aviation has passed the Ministry of Defense acceptance

, the next step depends on the order volume. For this project alone, the Tesla Research Institute has exceeded its scientific research tasks for this year.

Of course, the Tesla Research Institute is not idle either. Although unmanned bombers cannot be realized, unmanned sightseeing submarines have been used in the civilian field. Recently, the team led by Bruce is improving the sightseeing submarines, hoping to further improve its performance.

promote.

When receiving the order from the Ministry of Defense, Bruce was confused. The sightseeing submarine was a civilian project and did not involve the military field. Bruce did not know that Tesla Research Institute actually had the ability to assist the Ministry of Defense in improving ghost submarines.

But it’s normal. Nowadays, more and more electronic equipment are used on submarines. In the field of electronics, Nikola Tesla is the undisputed authority. The Tesla Research Institute does have a lot of technologies that are not used in the civilian field.

, can be applied to ghost submarines, such as anechoic tile technology.

"To improve the performance of military submarines, shouldn't we start with torpedoes?" Bruce doesn't know enough about the use of submarines. Torpedoes are important, but survivability is even more important.

"No, no, no, the most important thing about a military submarine is its survivability. You must protect yourself first before you can launch an attack on the enemy." Shen Shen Miao knew enough about submarines. She didn't know much about the performance of Germany's new submarines.

, but Shen Shenmiao was sure that there were no anechoic tiles installed on the German submarine.

Speaking of anechoic tiles, you may not believe it. When Tesla Research Institute launched the sightseeing submarine, in order to provide guests with a better experience, Tesla Research Institute researched a new type of material and posted it on

On submarines, it is used to absorb the noise of the submarine and reduce the vibration of the submarine shell.

This kind of silencing tile is made of synthetic rubber and is about 50 mm thick. After installing the silencing tile, the noise of the submarine engine is greatly reduced, and the vibration of the casing is also greatly reduced. Although the cost is a bit higher, but

The effect is very good.

"So, the function of the anechoic tiles is to provide a better working environment for the sailors." An Qi was not satisfied. If it was just like this, then the anechoic tiles would not be of much help to the survivability of the submarine.

"No, no, no, the anechoic tiles can not only be installed inside the submarine, but also outside the submarine. This can not only reduce the noise emitted by the submarine when it is working, but also absorb the detection waves emitted by the enemy's active sonar." Meditation.

Miao has confidence in anechoic tiles, and the Tesla Research Institute is such a magical place.

"Why are you conducting research in this area?" An Qi was even more dissatisfied. It would be a waste to have such a good thing and not actively contribute it to the Ministry of National Defense, but to leave it in the corner gathering dust.

No, this is no longer a waste, it is simply dereliction of duty!

"This" Shen Shen Miao looked innocent. The Tesla Research Institute often had some weird inventions, and sometimes the researchers didn't even know what they were for.

What else can I say, I can only say that the research funds given by Rock are too much, and I have to find a reason to spend them.

Of course, this reason cannot be said.

"We originally studied anechoic tiles in order to provide a better experience for tourists visiting submarines." Bruce is an honest person and actually told the reason honestly.

Shen Shenmiao immediately glared at Bruce.

An Qi glared at Shen Shenmiao.

Bruce is the most innocent. Customers are God. Isn’t it right to provide God with a more perfect experience?

It is definitely correct, but saying it at this time is the biggest political incorrectness.

"You can't blame us. After the anechoic tiles were successfully developed, we immediately reported it to the Ministry of Navy for filing. However, the Navy believes that installing anechoic tiles inside the submarine will further encroach on the internal space of the submarine and increase more costs." Bruce With a face full of grievances, An Qi was now embarrassed.

Since it has already been reported to the Ministry of National Defense for filing, we cannot blame the Tesla Research Institute for hiding it.

It is understandable when you think about it. Ghost submarines have performed well in many exercises. The Royal Navy has been disgraced by ghost submarines. Without German submarines showing their strength, ghost submarines are the most advanced submarines in the world. There is really no urgency for improvement. necessary.

This is indeed the fault of the Ministry of the Navy, but we cannot blame the Ministry of the Navy. In recent years, the Ministry of the Navy has spent almost all its energy on the development of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. It really has no extra funds and energy to spend on the improvement of submarines.

To the navy generals, submarines that hide under the water all year round are not as attractive as silly, thick, black battleships.

The Navy has been trying to compete with G7-class battleships for many years but has failed to do so. Submarines are really not worth it.

To be honest, submarines are only useful for countries like Germany that cannot rely on surface warships to defeat their enemies. For countries like southern Africa, it is still necessary to show their strongest strength in order to have the greatest deterrence.

"How do you know that anechoic tiles can absorb the detection waves emitted by active sonar?" Since it was the Ministry of the Navy's fault, An Qi no longer struggled with this issue.

To verify whether the anechoic tiles can sacrifice the detection waves emitted by active sonar, you must at least have active sonar, which is standard military equipment.

"Did we do an experiment?" Bruce was so cute that he didn't even notice Shen Shen Miao's frantically gesticulating eyes.

"I mean, why do you have active sonar?" An Qi fully realized that you should never go around in circles when communicating with technicians, just ask directly what you want to ask.

"Oh, we made one ourselves." Bruce's answer drove Angel crazy.

This is also understandable. The Tesla Research Institute itself is a scientific research institution, so this answer is very reasonable.

But this is also the biggest irrationality. A sightseeing submarine is a commercial device. Is it necessary to use sonar for active detection?

The answer is definitely yes.

"You also know that sightseeing submarines are to be used in Lake Nyasa. They are remotely controlled. During the test, a submarine lost control and disappeared. We must take back the submarine and figure out where the problem lies, so we built one

Sonar." Bruce was slightly proud.

Sonar is essentially a radio. Don’t forget that Nikola Tesla is the inventor of radio. Therefore, if Tesla Research Institute wants to build sonar, there is no technical threshold at all, that is, whether it wants to build it or not.

"Then when we searched for the missing submarine, we found that the anechoic tiles had a certain absorption effect on the detection waves emitted by the sonar, so we made a sonar with better performance." Bruce's words became more and more excessive, and An Qi felt a million in her heart.

A straw horse is running wildly.

There is no need to emphasize the role of sonar in the modern navy, so the Navy also has a sonar research institute, which requires a lot of research funding every year.

As a result, the technology that the Naval Research Institute regarded as a treasure was like free cabbage at the Tesla Research Institute.

This made An Qi really distressed.

So An Qi took a look at Shen Shenmiao.

"I'll have the sonar sent to the Admiralty tomorrow." Shen Si Miao heard the string and knew what it meant.

"It's not tomorrow, it's now!" An Qi couldn't bear it. These scientific researchers have no sensitivity to military technology.

"Okay, okay, right away, right away." An Qi immediately went to make arrangements. The submarine tour was just for fun. The Navy Department was the Tesla Research Institute's big customer and it couldn't afford to offend.

"Go on, let me see what other goodies you have?" An Qi felt like she had entered the treasure house of the Forty Thieves, with surprises everywhere.

"Of course, I just said that to improve the combat effectiveness of submarines, we should start with torpedoes." Bruce circled back to the reason for starting again.

"Continue talking" An Qi said with great interest. This trip has been fruitful.

"You know, the main project being carried out by our research institute is remote control, and the biggest problem with torpedoes now is that the success rate of attacking remote targets is not high, so" Bruce's words really surprised An Qi. Today's torpedoes are not suitable for

When attacking long-range targets, the success rate is not only low, it is simply like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes.

No, the probability of killing mosquitoes is lower than that of anti-aircraft guns.

A battleship is more than 200 meters long. When it is stationary, the success rate of torpedoes is okay. Once it moves at high speed, the success rate only depends on the face.

The torpedo used by the ghost submarine has an optimal attack distance of 10,000 meters according to the instructions.

The fastest speed of the torpedo in southern Africa is 50 knots. At this speed, it takes about 6 minutes to cover 10,000 meters.

Don't be ridiculous, I said it's an approximation. With my level of mathematics, if I have to calculate the exact time, I guess this chapter won't be released until tomorrow.

"So what?" Angel couldn't wait. If the Tesla Research Institute could solve this problem, then the Navy Department would really give the Tesla Research Institute a one-ton medal.

"So if we apply remote control technology to torpedoes so that the torpedoes can be remotely controlled, then we can adjust the direction of the torpedo during the torpedo attack, so that our attack success rate will be much higher." Bruce said seriously. Face, the best engineers are not inventors, but are good at combining different technologies to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

"Great! This is the next research direction of your institute. Go to work immediately and complete this research in the shortest time." Angel laughed. If Bruce's design can be successful, then the performance of the ghost submarine will be great. There will be a qualitative leap.

Shen Shen Miao was speechless.

Bruce also dared to say anything. Combining remote control technology with torpedoes sounds good. Unfortunately, with current technology, even for the Tesla Research Institute, the difficulty is too high.

ps: On the last day of August, I’m going to start coding like crazy again, don’t stop me, I’m going to update ten times today
