Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 518

  Chapter 518 Missiles and Submarines

Adams Teach is also a veteran. Fang Lang's analysis did have a huge impact on his inherent concepts, but he knew very well in his heart that with a sharp spear, there must be a strong shield. There is nothing Weapons are defenseless.

  Of course, the two big bombs dropped by the Americans in Japan are really desperate, but with the advancement of science and technology, people will be able to find a way to defend against him sooner or later.

   Even if it is impossible to defend, you can also let yourself have the same weapon. In this case, no one dares to take it easily.

  After listening to Fang Lang's answer, and after two deep breaths of adjustment, Adams Teach's mentality finally returned to normal, and his face became better.

   "Intercept? Do you mean to use missiles to detonate the incoming missiles in advance? But the speed of the missiles must be very fast! How can they be intercepted?"

   Picking up the wine glass, Fang Lang took a sip with a smile, then smiled and said:

  "The speed of the missile is indeed very fast, even surpassing the speed of sound, but because the missile is launched beyond the visual range, the flight distance is generally relatively long, and this will give the defender a certain amount of time.

  With the advancement of technology, our radar will inevitably become more and more powerful, and the detection distance and range will inevitably become larger and larger, and then combined with an electronic computer with powerful computing power.

At the first moment when the missile is captured, it calculates the opponent's flight trajectory and trajectory, and then sends these data to its own missile defense system, so that its own missile can be launched directly at the incoming missile, and it will be detonated in advance .

  Of course, these are just some random thoughts of mine. Whether it can be realized or not depends on whether science and technology can support it. "

  Adams Teach on the side felt a little crazy after hearing Fang Lang's description. After all, in his opinion, it was a bit sci-fi.

  However, after careful analysis, it seems that it is not impossible to realize, but it will definitely require huge investment.

   "I understand. From this point of view, missiles will indeed become the main weapon that dominates the future. Even aircraft carriers, as long as they are targeted by missiles, they can only defend passively.

   That is to say, the weapons and equipment of our navy in the future will all revolve around launching and defending missiles. "

  Actually, this tactical concept has not yet fully formed, but because of Fang Lang's crossing, the Brazilian Navy has realized in advance the important role of missiles in future wars.

  Especially although Adams Teach is only the deputy chief of staff of the Ministry of the Navy, Fang Lang is going to push him to the position of chief of staff.

  With the full support of such a senior naval officer, a new faction like the aircraft carrier faction will gradually appear in the navy to replace the battleship faction.

   These are what Fang Lang is happy to see. After all, only when this faction grows rapidly, can he develop missiles by himself in the future to gain greater support from the military.

   Regarding Adams Teach's words, Fang Lang nodded affirmatively, and gave the other party an affirmative answer:

   "Yes, at least in my opinion."

   "That is to say, in the future we will focus on the development of missiles, radar and electronic computers, right? But these three aspects seem to be blank in Brazil!"

  Adams Teach looked at Fang Langdao with a determined face and a little hesitation.

  Fang Lang understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile:

  “It's not all blank. Now we in Brazil should be at the forefront of the electronic computer industry. As early as I realized the direction of these changes in the future, I was already thinking of ways to fill these gaps.

   As for the electronic computer industry, our Brazilian laboratory has successfully produced the first electronic computer, which is among the top in the world globally.

   As for missiles and radar, I've been thinking of a way recently. "

   I have to say that Adams Teach knows Fang Lang very well. He knows that this guy often runs around without missing a job. He originally thought that the other party was bored and doing business around.

   But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. The other party has made so many contributions to Brazil's national defense without knowing it.

   If anyone dares to say in front of him that Fang Lang is running around without doing his job properly, he must give the other party a hard time.

   I finally understood why the heads of the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Defense never made irresponsible remarks about Fang Lang's behavior.

  After Adams Teach let out a long breath, he looked at Fang Lang firmly and said:

   "General Fang, please rest assured!

  In the future, I will fully implement and implement your tactical thinking, stand firmly behind you, and build our navy into a truly world-class modern navy. "

  The sudden act of showing loyalty stunned Fang Lang for a moment. For a while, he still didn't quite understand the other party's psychology, but he looked at the other party with a serious expression.

  Fang Lang could only show a satisfied smile, and nodded at the other party.

  “The advancement of missile technology still needs a long process. Our shipbuilding cannot stop and wait, and we must actively seek breakthroughs.

  Let me give you a suggestion, after the completion of the first-generation self-produced destroyer project, our ship research and development direction can be properly tilted towards submarines.

   World War II has actually proved that submarines are a very good weapon, and it is not too late for us to study them now. "

   Submarines have a long history. Of course, Adams Teach has known them for a long time. However, Brazil has owned submarines for a relatively short time. Up to now, he has not actually come into contact with this weapon.

   But it is not difficult to understand it, because now all the submarines in Brazil are serving in Fang Lang's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group. As long as Fang Lang agrees, he can study it closely.

  Although he has never actually come into contact with submarines, Adams Teach is very clear about how the Germans used submarines in World War II, and he also has a certain understanding of submarine tactics.

   He had a certain understanding of the changes in the way of war in the future after hearing Fang Lang's introduction of missiles, but he hadn't noticed the existence of submarines. Now when he heard Fang Lang mention it, his eyes lit up.

   "That's right! Submarines are hidden underwater, and they can't be easily detected and locked by sea radars like surface ships. They can also quietly ambush enemy ships, and don't have to worry about being directly attacked by missiles."

  After listening to what Adams Teach said, Fang Lang coughed twice, reminding the other party not to talk too much.

   "Compared with surface ships, submarines do have their own advantages in terms of stealth, but this does not mean that submarines can escape missile attacks.

  Missiles can fly in the air, and naturally they can also travel through water. Once a submarine is locked in position, it is equally difficult to escape a precise attack from a missile.

   Therefore, the most important thing in making a submarine is to improve its concealment, make the hull as stealthy as possible, reduce noise, and at the same time increase the strength of the hull so that it can dive deeper into the seabed.

   It is also necessary to improve the underwater survival time of the submarine, minimize the surfacing, and avoid increasing the chance of being discovered by the enemy.

  The most suitable power for submarines should be battery-driven, which can reduce the noise made by the submarine, reduce oxygen consumption, and increase the underwater mobility of the submarine.

  Now the main method for submarines to fight against enemy ships is to rely on sonar. To improve the submarine's underwater countermeasures, we must also find a way to develop more advanced sonar.

  If we can do this, I think the performance of our submarines will definitely be able to bring us sufficient confidence in the safety of our coastal defense. "

  After listening to Fang Lang's words, Adams Teach thought carefully for a long time before saying:

   "I see. After I finish the work at hand, I will go to your naval fleet to learn more about the specific situation of the submarine.

   If there is a need at that time, I think you may also need your submarine to come to the shipyard to provide some reference for the designers. "

   Fang Lang was prepared for this situation, and said without hesitation:

   "Don't worry about this, if necessary, I will arrange for the submarines in the fleet to go to the Fangyuan Shipyard for maintenance in turn, and give the shipyard enough time to thoroughly understand the submarines.

   Also, I have the latest U21 submarine captured from the Germans. This submarine should be one of the most advanced submarines in the world.

  I hope that our future submarines can be developed around this submarine. "

   The reason why Fang Lang mentioned these things about the technical advantages and research and development of submarines to Adams Teach was mainly to let the navy have one more person who understands his own thinking.

   Avoid detours when developing submarines in the future.

  As the boss of Fangyuan Group, of course, he can also directly convey his ideas to the designers of the shipyard, so that the designers can carry out the design work according to his ideas.

  However, if the navy, which is the user of the submarine, cannot understand these design ideas, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. Therefore, Fang Lang will take this opportunity to instill his own concept of submarine construction to Adams Teach.

Hearing that Brazil now has the most advanced German submarine in the world, Adams Teach was of course full of surprises. Looking at Fang Lang's eyes, he unconsciously admired him even more. Unexpectedly, the other party had quietly served for the Brazilian Navy. So much effort has gone into its construction.

   nodded seriously, looked at Fang Lang firmly and said:

   "Don't worry, General Fang! I will never let your efforts go to waste. When the new submarine design comes out, I will send it to you as soon as possible, and I will submit it after you approve it."

Fang Lang did not refuse Adams Teach's words. This kind of thing is indeed very important to him. With his own future vision as a guide, he can at least tell whether the designed submarine is on the right track in terms of design concept. on the trend.

  Of course, Fang Lang did not mention to Adams Teach that submarines also have an important role, that is, they can be equipped with submarine-launched missiles loaded with large mushroom bombs for strategic nuclear deterrence against enemy countries.

   It's not that Fang Lang doesn't want to have such a big killer, but that it's too early to say these things. It's best for him to adjust his development direction according to future changes in the current situation, and determine whether to start research and development of these equipment in the future.

  At the same time, if you have a spear, you must have a shield. When Fang Lang reminded Adams Teach to tilt the direction of ship research and development towards the submarine, he also began to think about how to fight the submarine, that is, how to anti-submarine.

   It is obviously not enough to rely solely on the sonar equipped on destroyers, so what will be the main anti-submarine means of the future navy?

   The first figures that appeared in Fang Lang's mind were the large helicopter platforms behind those large destroyers and those domineering anti-submarine helicopters.

  Then what do they use to anti-submarine? Certainly not by the naked eye. Um! Fishermen in their hometown are often able to salvage equipment that can be sold for money - sonar buoys.

  Including larger anti-submarine aircraft, in addition to using radar to scan the sea, most of them also use the method of launching sonar buoys to carry out anti-submarine operations.

   Wanting to understand these, Fang Lang became more determined to develop helicopters. Now that he has signed a licensing agreement with Bell Aircraft Manufacturing Company, it can be regarded as a good start for future helicopter manufacturing.

   Time passed slowly in the communication between Fang Lang and Adams Teach. Fang Lang, who is the protagonist of the banquet, has not gone back since he left the banquet hall and came to the small balcony.

  After the banquet, Fang Lang returned to the Natal Naval Base in a low-key manner.
