Chapter 671 Developing a nuclear submarine?

Liu Tao listened to the leader's words and secretly admired him.

This vision and ability are really amazing, and they hit the nail on the head.

At present, China's real shortcomings are actually in the two aspects of biotechnology and nuclear energy technology!

In terms of space technology, China has been very active in recent years. The number of satellites launched is second only to the United States and the Soviet Union, and the number of satellites in space is also second only to the Soviet Union and the United States.

In terms of space technology exploration, China is also second only to the Soviet Union and the United States.

In some areas such as communication satellite technology and satellite positioning technology, China is at the forefront of the world.

Whether it is the satellite positioning technology of the United States or the Soviet Union, it is mainly used in military technology, while China's Beidou navigation system is already walking on two legs, with high accuracy and good stability.

It can be said that in terms of space technology exploration, China is currently second only to the Soviet Union and the United States, ranking third in the world.

China's real shortcoming is actually in biotechnology and nuclear energy technology.

Biotechnology refers to the process of transforming organisms or processing biological raw materials based on modern life sciences, combining the scientific principles of other basic sciences, and using advanced scientific and technological means to produce products needed by humans or achieve certain goals. Biotechnology is a technology that uses microorganisms, plants and animals to process material raw materials to provide products to serve society. It mainly includes fermentation technology and modern biotechnology.

It can be said that biotechnology is an emerging and comprehensive discipline.

Modern biotechnology integrates multidisciplinary technologies such as genetic engineering, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, embryology, immunology, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, informatics and computer science, which can be used to study the laws of life activities and improve products to serve society.

The application scope of biotechnology includes medical fields, agricultural food, military technology, industrial applications, environmental protection, etc.

In the world, the strongest biotechnology is the United States and the Soviet Union.

As for nuclear energy, China is also far behind. Although China has mastered atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs and can build nuclear power plants, there is no doubt that China is not a little behind the United States and the Soviet Union in nuclear energy technology. The level of China's nuclear power plants and the miniaturization of nuclear warheads can be seen in China's nuclear energy technology.

The leader discussed the development of science and technology in China with Liu Tao. The leader was very concerned about this aspect, and Liu Tao was an authority in this area.

Unconsciously, the leader talked about nuclear submarines.

In terms of conventional submarines, China has the Type 039 submarine, which is enough because this new submarine is very advanced.

But in terms of nuclear submarines, it is somewhat unsatisfactory.

China's nuclear submarines developed relatively late. It was not until August 1974 that the first domestically designed and built attack nuclear submarine, the Type 091 attack nuclear submarine, was put into service. The 'Type 091' attack nuclear submarine is the first generation of attack nuclear submarines designed and built by my country. This type of nuclear submarine is about 108 meters long, about 11 meters wide, with an underwater displacement of about 5,000 tons, a standard maximum shallow depth of about 300 meters, a maximum speed of about 25 knots, and a full complement of about 75 people.

In August 1983, the first domestically produced strategic nuclear submarine, the Type 092 strategic nuclear submarine, was put into service. This is the first generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines designed and built by my country. The Type 092 nuclear submarine successfully launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile in 1988, making China the fifth country in the world with underwater nuclear strike capabilities. It is an important part of China's 'three-in-one' strategic nuclear counterattack force, and it is also a symbol of China's status as a world power and a national treasure. The submarine is 120 meters long, 10 meters wide, with an underwater displacement of 6,500 tons, a standard maximum shallow depth of 300 meters, a maximum speed of 22 knots, and a full complement of about 84 people.

Whether it is the Type 091 attack nuclear submarine or the Type 092 strategic nuclear submarine, it has lagged behind the world since its birth, and it is just a matter of whether it has one or not.

Even if it is improved later, and the five-axis machining center is used to process important parts and equipment to reduce noise, the original design, coupled with the limited technical capabilities of the technical team, has always made China lag behind the other four countries in terms of nuclear submarines.

Not to mention compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, there is a big gap compared with the nuclear submarines of Britain and France.

He once asked the nuclear submarine design team, and they all said that it would take at least 20 years to develop a new type of nuclear submarine, and if Liu Tao developed it, it would be much faster.

"Comrade Liu Tao, we are now far behind in nuclear submarines. Can you develop an advanced nuclear submarine? After all, if there is an advanced nuclear submarine, the deterrence will be greatly improved, and it can better ensure our national security." The leader asked.

Liu Tao was startled, and then showed a thoughtful look.

After a while, Liu Tao nodded slightly: "The technical difficulty will not be too great. Some technologies need to be tackled, but the cost of nuclear submarines is not cheap. It costs a lot of money every year to use and maintain them."

"Money is not a problem. After it is built, it will be worth the money. You can deduct it when you pay taxes at the end of the year. We need an advanced nuclear submarine." The leader waved his hand and looked very determined.

It is far from enough to have advanced missile boats, frigates, destroyers, electronic reconnaissance ships, and new conventional submarines. There must also be advanced nuclear submarines. Advanced nuclear submarines are more deterrent and are national treasures.

China still has a lot to make up for and a lot to do.

But no matter what, we need to have several trump cards as trump cards. These trump cards can really be used as trump cards at critical moments, and they need to be able to truly deter jackals and tigers.

Liu Tao thought about it. China now has a total of 5 '091-type' attack nuclear submarines and 1 '092-type' strategic nuclear submarine. To be honest, there is indeed a lack of deterrence.

The deterrence in this regard should indeed be enhanced.

In the past, he first developed the 039-type conventional submarine, thinking that the 039-type conventional submarine was cheap and had advanced performance, which was very suitable for the Chinese Navy.

But even he did not expect that China would develop so fast. Now, we need to add a trump card, and this trump card can be an advanced nuclear submarine.

Originally, Liu Tao thought that the new nuclear submarine could be developed after the millennium, but now it seems that it has to be developed in advance.

With his attainments in submarine technology, it is not difficult to develop an advanced nuclear submarine. After all, he still has a golden finger.

Then the two of them talked about nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, passenger planes, transport planes, early warning aircraft, and refueling aircraft.

Liu Tao also reported the progress of the restart of the Y-10 project. If the Y-10 project is solved, China will not only have its own passenger planes, but will also be able to develop transport planes on this basis, and then transform them into early warning aircraft and refueling aircraft on the basis of transport planes!

The leader listened very seriously. He actually experienced the fall of the Y-10 personally. At that time, many people wrote to him, but under the circumstances at that time, the Y-10 could not continue at all.

Now he heard that the Y-10 was reborn after Panshan Group took over the Nirvana and made new progress. The leader is still very pleased.
