Chapter 879： Nuclear powered submarine (1/2)

Diesel-electric submarines use diesel engines on the surface of the water and batteries underwater. Due to the limited power of the batteries, they must be exposed to the surface for ventilation and recharge the batteries at regular intervals.

This is also the most dangerous time for submarines. Many submarines are destroyed on the surface.

Under Cyrenk’s proposal, Germany invented the vent pipe, which can start the diesel engine for charging without being exposed to the surface. The black smoke comes out, floating above the water, and it is still easy to be found.

Therefore, the best solution is nuclear power!

In later generations, only the five big gangsters have nuclear submarines, which are powerful tools for them to defend their own interests.

During the Taiwan Strait crisis, Uncle Sam’s aircraft carrier formation approached. As a result, the satellite discovered that all the nuclear submarines in China’s nuclear submarine base had disappeared. Retreated his aircraft carrier one hundred nautical miles.

In history, nuclear submarines only achieved a breakthrough in the 1950s, but now, history has been greatly advanced.

The theory of nuclear fission was developed by leaps and bounds in the 1920s and 1930s. As long as there is sufficient investment and the right direction, a breakthrough can be achieved.

For example, in history, Heisenberg made a mistake, believing that an atomic bomb could not be built, and as a result, attacked nuclear reactors. Before Germany failed, he had conducted many nuclear reactor experiments.

And now, under Cyric's promotion, experiments on nuclear reactors have been carried out earlier.

At the beginning, at the base in Libya, German scientific researchers began to work hard for the breakthrough of nuclear technology. Although their main purpose was to use nuclear reactor combustion to generate nuclear fuel and achieve the goal of manufacturing nuclear bombs, the heat generated by nuclear reactors , It is still used by them to generate electricity. The entire base’s electricity is sufficient if it is provided by the nuclear reactor.

The nuclear reactors in the Libya base have been operating safely for seven or eight years. With the investment of Germany, larger reactors have been continuously built. After all, a huge amount of reactors are needed to generate enough materials for nuclear bombs.

At the same time, nuclear reactors dedicated to submarines have also been studied as a special subject.

On land, there is no need to worry about the volume and weight of nuclear reactors. Thick cement concrete is used as the outer shell, which is very safe and can also prevent the emission of rays.

However, on the submarine, it must be simplified.

”Head Cyric, it's nice to meet you.”

When Cyric walked into this slipway, not surprisingly, he saw a young scientist.

Werner Karl Heisenberg is less than forty years old now, but he is already the most authoritative nuclear technology expert in Germany. Under his leadership, German scientific researchers are conquering various technologies of nuclear bombs. Difficulty.

At the same time, he also needs to be responsible for the development of the nuclear reactor of the nuclear submarine. Now, while the nuclear submarine is under construction, he has come to the shipyard to carry out some coordination work.

Heisenberg was very excited to see Cyric. This is not only because Cyric is the head of the empire, but also a technical expert. You must know that everything now comes from a nuclear fission. Equation, and this equation was proposed by Cyric.
