Spark

The development of things is always beyond everyone's expectations.

Whether it is the United States, China, or Sudan as the "country concerned", everyone thinks that the chaos in this land will last for a long time.

However, things changed rapidly and fiercely one afternoon after Houston made a certain decision.

After the order was issued, third-party fighters who were not under the control of the turret began to directly join the battlefield. In just a few days, most of Khartoum's urban area fell.

Subsequently, al-Bashir, then supreme commander, withdrew from Khartoum and visited Egypt along a secret route.

In just a few hours, Egypt and Sudan reached an agreement, and several fighter jets crossed the border between the two sides to launch air strikes against the Revolutionary Front.

This move caught the Revolutionary Front by surprise, and they urgently sought assistance from the United States, but the latter was also devastated.

No one knows why Egypt would intervene at such a time--for them, this may be tantamount to suicide.

After all, the US has already warned them secretly.

Houston, who was busy explaining to the Congress, had no time to deal with Egypt's request for help, and managed to appease the questioners, but soon, the other party joined and completely destroyed his last line of defense.

Ethiopia announced an indefinite ceasefire with Sudan and is considering launching an attack on "illegal organizations" on the border.

And this so-called "illegal organization" is not the Bashir force claimed by the United States, but the Revolutionary Front organization.

The situation is clear at a glance.

Days later, officials repelled yet another offensive against Khartoum, with the Revolutionary Front group withdrawing 30 kilometers away.

Subsequently, a humanitarian tragedy broke out near the Revolutionary Front camp, and the African Union collectively condemned and expressed solidarity.

The turret was the first to admit its counsel and suspended military aid and equipment transportation.

Followed by May.

Third-party fighters have announced their withdrawal from Africa.

Two days later, Houston shot himself in his office.

From making a decision to ushering in your own ending, the time is only 13 days.

Just as his assistant was worried, the bullet finally caught up with him.

Perhaps until his death he will not know why the African Union suddenly became so united, why the three originally hostile parties suddenly united.

He didn't know who was disrupting the situation, but he had no choice but to blame his "old opponent".

This is of course shameless slander.

After all, we didn't have a hand in the conflict there from start to finish.

Leaders teach well, we are clean

In Cheng Fei's office, Chen Nian looked at the report with great interest, and asked Chen Guo who was opposite:

"So, the Blue Nile dam problem solved?"

Chen Guo shook her head and replied:

"It's not that easy. There is basically no hope of a solution in a short time."

"After all, the natural environment is an unshakable iron law. There is only so much water, and everyone needs to use it. No matter how you adjust it, it will always be impossible."

"Then how did they put aside their disputes and come together?"

Chen Guo smiled mysteriously, and replied:

"Of course it is because we have seen through the conspiracy of the US, for the common interests of the African family, and came together under the common determination to oppose imperialist intervention."

"...You can just say it at the press conference, and you still hide it from me?"

Chen Nian rolled his eyes, dismissing Chen Guo's cliché.

He is well aware of the pissing nature of those countries in Africa. For a sip of water, they can beat their brains out.

In the last life, when did hundreds of thousands of people not be killed on the border between Sudan and Ethiopia?

Although the conflict between Egypt and Su was not that intense, there was still "historical enmity" in it.

Now that Sudan is suffering, Egypt has come to help, saying that there is no overwhelming benefit, who will believe it?

Chen Nian speculates that it is likely that the Sudanese side sold the benefits of the water resources of the Nile River and made a "non-confrontation" promise to Egypt.

Although the deterrent effect of the downstream on the upstream is not high, in the final analysis, Sudan is also a big country.

Out of such a promise, Egypt's willingness to make a move can be considered an explanation.

But in the end, this explanation is still a bit far-fetched.

He looked at Chen Guo with piercing eyes, expecting his answer.

The latter spread his hands helplessly, and said:

"How can this kind of thing be explained thoroughly? You guessed it right, anyway, it's about water resources."

"However, in this strategy, they also introduced some new conditions."

"Such as agricultural technology, seedling technology, water conservancy technology, electric power technology, etc."

"The core of which is seedlings and water conservancy. Anyway, Sudan has suffered a lot this time."

"Understood."

Chen Nian didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that there might be many thrilling plots hidden in the whole process of this matter.

But in the end, these plots cannot appear in the public eye, and even in a short period of time, even oneself cannot say it.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the problem is solved, then everything is fine.

Thinking of this, he said again:

"So, after this time, the stability of Africa should be completely guaranteed, right?"

Chen Guo nodded and replied:

"Theoretically so."

"Looking at the whole of Africa now, the only destabilizing factors are Mali, Chad, and Somalia, a few impoverished countries. However, their instability is only limited to the scope of 'tribal conflicts', and there is no such factor as Sudan. A big impact that moves the whole body in one shot."

"It can be said that our future layout is guaranteed."

"Lao America has suffered a huge loss this time. Since the economic crisis, none of the things they have done have achieved the expected results, and the African Raiders have suffered heavy losses."

"Our intelligence department received news that the head of the other party's core organization is gone, and he did it himself."

"Isn't it? Laomei is also popular for seppuku?"

Chen Nian asked in surprise.

He hadn't heard of this kind of tradition over there—generally speaking, those who made big mistakes were unwilling to face themselves, and they always needed someone to help them face up.

"...Texas seppuku. He must have been under too much pressure, not simply because of 'guilt'."

"According to intelligence, in the final stage, there were obvious problems with his mental state, but it was not discovered in time."

"Well, hopefully he'll be a little bit more miserable in hell."

"Shouldn't it be said at this time that the dead rest in peace, RIP?"

Chen Guo said jokingly.

"RIP a ghost, why does he rest in peace, did the innocent victims they directly or indirectly kill RIP?"

"I don't have such a big heart. If someone planed his coffin, although I won't set off firecrackers, I can still have fun for a few days."

"You are a kid messing around—but you can't say for sure, after all, there is no such precedent in their side."

The two of them teased me sentence by sentence, and their mood was extremely relaxed and happy.

Because they all know that the storm on the hot land of 10,000 kilometers has finally stopped temporarily.

And now, it's time to hunt for gold

On the other side, Wuhan, inside the Second Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.

Su Jishan stared closely at the task instruction in front of him, with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at the herald at the side, and asked:

"Is there any other more detailed report? I need to know more about the intention of the superior."

"You should also know that our Type 094 has just entered service not long ago, and the original Type 094A is also in the process of research and development. Now a sudden order is issued to overturn the design standard of Type 094A and completely redesign it. For the entire R\u0026D working group, it is more difficult to understand."

Hearing his words, the herald shook his head and replied:

"There are no more detailed instructions at the moment."

"However, in the next few days, the superior should still issue instructions."

"At the same time, the staff of the Xinghuo team will also contact you to finalize the specific design plan and design standards - don't worry, the new project is also built on the basis of 094A, there is no 'total overthrow'."

"What you need to do now is to suspend the research and development of 094A and explain the situation to the scientific researchers."

".Okay, I'll do it."

Su Jishan sighed helplessly, as if complaining, and as if talking to himself:

"I've been engaged in scientific research for so long, and I haven't seen such a radical plan. Even if you want to improve the design standard, you should finish what you have first, right?"

"Besides, the current performance of 094 is sufficient, and the counterattack ability is top-notch in the world. We are really not in such a hurry."

"You also said that it is the ability to fight back."

The herald interrupted cryptically.

".I see."

Su Jishan stopped talking and asked instead:

"Who is the chief person in charge? Is the technology source still Spark?"

"The chief person in charge is you, and the source of technology is of course Xinghuo—however, the specific research and development work still depends on your team."

"Of course I know that."

Hearing this, Su Jishan was finally relieved.

In fact, what he is most worried about is that this project upgrade is a decision made by some people after seeing the significant progress of aircraft carriers and destroyers.

He has seen many such lay leaders with his own eyes. He didn't even know the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a metal reactor, so he dared to say boldly, "Isn't it just a reactor? How many times have we built it? How difficult is it?"

No difficulty?

The difficulty of miniaturizing reactors is top-notch in the entire military industry, and the pressurized water reactors we are using now are not advanced at all.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of leadership that Huaxia Military Technology did have some internal conflicts and waste of resources before, and its progress was slowed down a lot.

However, now that it is confirmed that the leader is Xinghuo, then this kind of problem does not exist.

Since Xinghuo said that they want to upgrade their technology, they must have prepared the technology needed for the upgrade.

What could it be?

Su Jishan couldn't help looking forward to it, and the slightly depressed mood was swept away.

Although in his opinion, 094, the latest model of strategic nuclear submarine, is indeed advanced enough, no one will refuse something better.

After seeing off the messenger, he sat back at his desk, pulled a blank sheet of paper, and began to deduce the technical details that could be further optimized on the basis of 094A.

The first is the size. According to the predetermined design standard, the size of the 094A will be slightly larger than the current 094, about 10,000 tons on the water surface, about 12,000 tons underwater, and the hull size is about 5% larger than the 094.

The purpose of this design is not to obtain a greater diving depth, but to adapt to the JL-2A submarine-launched ballistic missile that will be used in the future.

In other words, the 094A needs to maintain the current 12 bomb loads of the 094, and replace the current Julang-2 with a stronger Julang-2A.

So, in this field, will Xinghuo make adjustments?

According to their previous experience, their technology accumulation in missiles is already very strong. In just a few years, they have produced many different types of missiles.

Therefore, Julang-2 may not be their end yet.

Under the new design, future strategic nuclear submarines should carry stronger submarine-launched missiles.

Su Jishan recorded this on white paper. According to his prediction, Xinghuo should choose a land-based ballistic missile to remodel and develop a more advanced submarine-launched ballistic missile.

But how strong the specific performance will be, he can't predict.

In addition to size and tonnage, appearance is actually a key point that can be improved.

The first is the podium, which is often referred to as the turtle back.

The turtle back of the Type 094 is much larger than that of the Type 092, which destroys the submarine's linear shape and the uniform distribution of water pressure. In addition, there are some large drainage holes distributed between the submarine-launched ballistic missile launcher and the submarine shell, and The same drainage holes on the missile compartment can easily form turbulent flow during maneuvering, which increases the fluid noise of the submarine and seriously affects its sonar stealth performance.

In the design scheme of Type 094A, this part has been changed, and the drainage holes have been reduced a lot, but compared with the top western hull design, there is still a big gap.

But to truly meet the world's advanced standards, further optimization is still needed.

Su Jishan made a note again, and then he analyzed the power system, weapon system, sonar radar system, and vibration reduction system one by one, and put forward higher requirements on the basis of the 094A project plan.

After all the speculations were completed, Su Jishan looked at the draft paper full of writing in front of him with satisfaction, and thought to himself:

No matter how radical Xinghuo is, it should be the limit to achieve such a plan, right?

After all, if you want to move forward, it is not a question of resources and time, but a question of pure technical barriers.

In his opinion, even Xinghuo—even Xinghuo, which has achieved incredible breakthroughs in many fields, is not so easy to break through the technical barriers of strategic nuclear submarines.

Because of this thing, there is really no way to touch anyone to cross the river.

Even pure theoretical support is very scarce in China.

In other words, strategic nuclear submarine technology has an upper limit in China.

He didn't believe that Starfire could break the ceiling in such a short period of time.

——

However, his thoughts hadn't stayed in his mind for more than two hours before they were immediately swept away by a new piece of news.

That is the latest design target document sent by Spark.

Not to mention the more cumbersome, just look at a few core indicators.

The captain is 200 meters long.

Use the Julang-3 strategic submarine-launched ballistic missile with 24 rounds.

Noise below 85 decibels.

The ultimate self-sustaining time is 90 days.

If the data doesn't show too many problems, then comparing the Ohio class horizontally, it will be very clear.

The self-sustaining power is twice that of the Ohio class, the amount of ammunition is the same, and the quietness in decibels is more than doubled.

It can be said that in this plan, the strategic nuclear submarine called "Type 096" is aimed at the Ohio class.

Moreover, the performance is still beyond the

Su Jishan took a deep breath.

He couldn't help but have a question in his heart:

Can this thing really be made? ?
