Chapter 285: The Julang Ballistic Missile Design Team was Incorporated into the 077 Mechanical Arsenal Lin Chenran has been waiting for this critical moment to come. The Yan Country Navy should bear the cost of designing and developing the Julang ballistic missile. Developing a ballistic missile that can carry nuclear warheads and be launched from a strategic nuclear submarine is by no means an easy task. The technical difficulty is staggering. Because of this, although the design team of the JL ballistic missile has worked hard for many years, it has never been able to produce a mature ballistic missile product. In a test conducted not long ago in 1985, the highly anticipated Julang ballistic missile lost control just after emerging from the water, causing a violent explosion. Old Zhang, who was standing nearby, witnessed the smile gradually appearing on Lin Chenran's face and immediately understood his intention. So, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but laugh and scolded angrily: "Good boy, you have been waiting here for me to say that our navy will bear the research and development costs of the Julang ballistic missile!" Facing Mr. Zhang's scolding, Lin Chenran seemed a little aggrieved. He quickly responded, "Mr. Zhang, you navy can't just take advantage of us for free!"
"If the R&D costs are paid early, the price of the Julang ballistic missile will drop significantly in the later stage." Mr. Zhang is familiar with this aspect, but he is still angry! Lin Chenran had plotted against me! "Lin, since our navy has paid for the design of the Julang ballistic missile, I hope your 077 Mechanical Arsenal will design and develop it as soon as possible." "We can't wait too long. As you know, once the design and development plan for the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine is finalized, we will do our best to develop it." "Don't wait until the second-generation strategic nuclear submarines are out and the Julang ballistic missiles used with them don't even have a mature sample." Mr. Zhang placed the heavy responsibility of developing the Julang ballistic missile on the shoulders of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal. "No problem. Our 077 Mechanical Military Factory will try its best to produce the Julang ballistic missile." Lin Chenran nodded. The senior leaders of the Yan State Navy present also agreed with Mr. Zhang's approach. The Julang ballistic missile design team was assigned to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal. As for what the members of the JL ballistic missile design team thought? important! It doesn’t matter! A group of senior naval leaders believed that the 077 Mechanical Arsenal would handle the relationship between the two sides well. …… Next, Mr. Huang continued to explain the design plan of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine. The second-generation strategic nuclear submarines are equipped with the most advanced electronic systems. A surface search radar and radar warning system. The sonar system is a medium-frequency active and passive search and attack hull sonar. At the same time, the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine is equipped with two 915-2B inertial navigation systems and their matching 816 starlight navigators to guide missiles to targets.
…… After more than two hours of Mr. Huang's eloquent explanation, everyone finally had a clearer and more thorough understanding of this second-generation strategic nuclear submarine. This brand new second-generation strategic nuclear submarine is tailor-made for the Yan Country Navy! It not only fully takes into account the various complex tasks and challenges currently faced by the Yan State Navy. It also closely meets the actual needs of modern naval warfare. From advanced power systems to powerful weapons and equipment, from efficient communication and command to outstanding stealth performance, every detail shows its excellence. This is an extremely excellent strategic nuclear submarine. The senior leaders of the Yan State Navy are all eager to make this second-generation strategic nuclear submarine turn from a blueprint into reality and have it delivered to them quickly for use. Today, the deterrent power of the Type 091 strategic nuclear submarines currently in service in the Yan Navy has been greatly weakened due to their long service time and relatively backward technology. Faced with the increasingly severe and rapidly changing international situation, they are really stretched and unable to cope with the situation. "Old Huang, after repeated and detailed discussions and research within our navy, we have finally reached a final conclusion on the design of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine!" When Mr. Zhang came to this point, he paused for a moment, intentionally or unintentionally keeping the other person in suspense. At this moment, Mr. Huang, who was standing aside, felt as nervous as if there was a lively little rabbit in his heart. After all, this was the design result that he led his team to complete day and night with painstaking efforts. He sincerely hoped that the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine he carefully built would be highly recognized by the Yan State Navy. So that a series of subsequent key tasks can be carried out in an orderly manner. Old Zhang looked at everyone with his sharp eyes, and a smile of relief appeared on his weather-beaten face. Then he announced in a steady and powerful voice: "After our all-round, multi-angle, and in-depth evaluation and analysis, we finally concluded that this second-generation strategic nuclear submarine fully meets the actual needs of the Yan Kingdom Navy's current and long-term development in the future!" "Therefore... I hereby solemnly declare that we can carry out more in-depth, comprehensive and systematic research and development work on it!" As soon as the words fell, the entire conference room seemed to be ignited in an instant, and burst into thunderous cheers. The engineers who had been working on the front line and devoted countless efforts and sweat to this new type of strategic nuclear submarine could no longer suppress their excitement. They stood up, hugged each other, and high-fived to celebrate the arrival of this historic moment. In order to successfully develop this epoch-making second-generation strategic nuclear submarine, these engineers have endured countless sleepless nights and experienced countless failures and setbacks. But they never gave up, and with their tenacious perseverance and superb skills, they have come to where they are today, step by step. Now, the results of their hard work have finally been highly recognized by the senior leaders of the Yan State Navy. And it was formally established to continue to advance the subsequent research and development process. How can this not make people excited? Mr. Huang standing by had a bright smile on his face. The second-generation strategic nuclear submarine designed and developed by the team he led was recognized by senior leaders of the Yan State Navy. As the chief designer of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine, Mr. Huang stepped forward to express his gratitude: "I would like to thank the naval leaders for their recognition of our second-generation strategic nuclear submarine, thank Chenran for his efforts, and thank everyone in the team for their hard work." Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out in the conference room. …… Since the design and development plan of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine has been approved by the Yan Country Navy. Lin Chenran has completed most of his mission.
Then Lin Chenran said goodbye to Mr. Huang and the engineers of the second-generation strategic nuclear submarine team. He was going back to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal to prepare to take over the Julang ballistic missile design and development team. This is another big project!!! …… Three days passed in a flash! The head of the Julang ballistic missile design and development team came to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal. Lin Chenran, the director of the 077 Mechanical Military Factory, came to the complex building to greet the other party. (End of this chapter)
