- The diving speed of a deep-sea submersible is about 1,500 meters per hour. When submersing, the submersibles operate at high power when loading water tanks and filling the water. The power consumption is far greater than the parallel movement of the submersible. Therefore, the manned submersible departs from the nuclear submarine platform. Diving can provide at least 10% more working time than diving at sea level.
Not to mention the trailing rov, just shortening the cable length and reducing the cable tension is an extremely huge benefit.
It took two months to lock the technical route of Undersea Seven, and the expected drawing design was completed. All that was left was to find the WPC to decommission nuclear submarines.
Since it was a front project that was both real and fake, Liang Yuan had no intention of hiding it from others and directly submitted the report on purchasing decommissioned nuclear submarines for deep-sea resource development and exploration to the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Economic Liaison.
In the report, Undersea Seven put forward several requirements for retired Soviet nuclear submarines. The larger the displacement of the submarine, the better. The deeper the submarine, the better. The Soviets are responsible for dismantling all weapons and equipment on the retired submarines.
Undersea Seven's quotation adopts the US dollar per light ton method commonly used by the international ship-breaking industry. However, since it is a change of use rather than scrapping and dismantling, the first trial price offered by Undersea Seven is much higher than the current average of the international ship-breaking industry. The quoted price of US$160 per light ton was directly quoted as US$1,600 per light ton, which is 10 times the dismantling and scrapping price.
For strategic missile nuclear submarines, the most valuable thing is the strategic missiles and attack navigation and search and other related equipment carried on board.
Taking the Ohio strategic missile nuclear submarine with a purchase price of US$1.5 billion as an example, the price of the 24 Trident submarine-launched strategic missiles carried by the submarine is as high as US$720 million, and the hull itself accounts for approximately 15% of the entire project budget.
If we take the Ohio class as a reference, the cost of the new hull is just over 200 million U.S. dollars. The decommissioned Ohio nuclear submarine can be sold for about 30 million U.S. dollars at the price offered by Undersea Seven. Nuclear submarines cannot define the price of old goods. It's reasonable, and it's hard to say whether it's high or low, but this price is definitely a price that can withstand scrutiny from an economic point of view.
The Soviet Union¡¯s current decommissioned strategic missile nuclear submarines are all about over 10,000 tons. According to the price offered by Undersea Seven, each one will definitely be sold for tens of millions of dollars after removing the weapons.
Of course, in addition to the Soviet submarine seven returned to France's General Administration of Naval Equipment, the Science and Technology Commission of the Republic has also issued purchase intentions.
Because the previous generation of nuclear submarines from Britain and the United States were decommissioned and decomposed early, they were not included in the procurement scope of Undersea Seven.
The early 1990s coincided with the replacement of the French Big Black Fish. The use of the retired first-generation nuclear submarines caused considerable controversy among all walks of life in France. Some supported decommissioning and dismantling, while others supported allocating funds to turn nuclear submarines into museums. As soon as the purchase contract for Undersea Seven came out, the original clamor for rebuilding a submarine museum suddenly became louder.
The biggest obstacle to renovating a submarine museum is to decommission nuclear submarines for harmless treatment, which would cost tens of millions of dollars depending on the tonnage. Now that there are obviously people who are taking advantage of the money, it is naturally the most beautiful thing to spend other people's money to do your own things.
However, whether this matter can be accomplished still depends on the approval of the French Naval Equipment Directorate. Fortunately, it has only been a day or two since Undersea Seven developed this nuclear submarine relay platform. Because it is looking for investment everywhere, it can be said that it has already become famous in Europe. However, No one else suspected that there was another reason behind the incident.
French Naval Equipment Evaluation Center, 1129 Avenue Saint-Germain, 7th arrondissement, Paris.
¡°Dear gentlemen and elegant ladies, good afternoon.¡±
"Today's topic is a shocking topic. Simply put, the naval strategic nuclear submarine, the cornerstone of France's survival, is being targeted."
Christopher Bell, Director of the Third Division of the Naval Equipment Evaluation Center, who was sitting at the long end of the oval conference table, released a shocking news, and whispers filled the room in an instant.
"There are two types of French nuclear submarines, one is the cornerstone of active service, and the other is the history of decommissioning. To be more relaxed, the ones that are being targeted are our decommissioned nuclear submarines."
After reading the on-site reactions with satisfaction, Christopher Bell felt that his French humor (clickbait) ability had improved a lot, so he changed the topic to the right track.
"A Norwegian deep-sea construction company called Undersea Seven, the social lace section of Le Figaro reported on the company's whims a year and a half ago."
"Undersea Seven has been committed to finding a deep-water relay platform that can work stably in the deep sea for a long time and provide energy. In their view, nuclear submarines are an excellent choice to achieve their technical standards."
¡°Not long ago, they completely locked in the design and found a generous project investor, so we received this inquiry order for the purchase of decommissioned nuclear submarines.¡±
"Seven pairs of retreats under the sea"?The technical requirements for nuclear submarines are clearly marked in the document. All weapons-related equipment is not required. Only the basic equipment for the nuclear submarine to maintain normal navigation, submersible, and buoyancy as well as the power to accompany the boat are required. We are responsible for dismantling other redundant equipment ourselves. "
"Therefore, the task we need to evaluate this time is whether the nuclear submarine hull and its attached nuclear reactor violate the relevant regulations of French arms exports. If it does not violate the relevant regulations of French arms exports, whether it is worthy of negotiation and discussion for more than 10 million US dollars."
"Boss, 10 million US dollars is still too little. If it were 100 million US dollars, I would be able to determine now that the export of decommissioned equipment does not violate France's arms export management regulations at all."
Someone among Bell¡¯s men made a joke.
"Gentlemen, be courteous and reserved. Before the free discussion, I will reveal a piece of news that has nothing to do with this procurement document. Since it is planned to convert the nuclear submarine into a relay platform for deep-sea construction, Undersea Seven will definitely need to The value of this part of the project to carry out large-scale modifications of nuclear submarines far exceeds the purchase of nuclear submarines themselves. According to estimates by relevant departments of the shipyard, this is a large modification contract that will definitely exceed US$100 million and may reach US$200 million."
"In the past few years, the Navy will gradually decommission four previous-generation nuclear submarines. Except for one that may be converted into a museum, the other three will face dismantling. The intention of Seven Under the Sea has given us a new option, even if the average At a price of US$150 million, this is also a huge arms order.¡±
"Now, I will distribute the information. After three working days, we will start formal discussions and draw conclusions. I hope everyone here will treat it with caution."
Beijing, No. 076 West Chang'an Street, Office of the Director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense of the Republic of China.
Qin Mingchuan slammed the end of the cigarette in his hand into the glass-bottomed ashtray, quickly closed the documents in front of him, picked up the extension on the table and called the secretary in.
"Xiao Wang, in twenty minutes, in conference room No. 7, the top leaders of the Ninth, Tenth, and Thirteenth Divisions will be summoned for a meeting. If the top leader is away on a business trip, he will be replaced by the comrade who is currently in charge of daily work."
"Okay, Director."
"Make three copies of this document and keep it confidential."
"Yes, Director"
Ten minutes later, the relevant heads of the Ninth, Tenth, and Thirteenth Departments of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense arrived in conference room No. 7 in advance to wait.
"What's going on? How come we got together for a meeting?"
Zhao Pingan, director of the 10th Division, looked around at the comrades in the conference room and explained with some confusion.
The Ninth Division of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is the main management agency of the Republic¡¯s military nuclear energy. With the exception of strategic nuclear weapons, almost all nuclear energy utilization is within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Division.
The 10th Department is the counterpart of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which corresponds to the Republic of China's shipbuilding industry. In addition to the military conversion to civilians, traces of the existence of this department can be found in all of the Republic's naval warship projects.
Compared with the first two departments, the Thirteenth Department is much more ordinary. It is mainly responsible for the foreign trade of the Republic¡¯s military equipment from a strategic level.
Nuclear energy, ships, foreign trade, this lineup is a surprising lineup with unlimited associations, let alone the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in the 1990s, even after the new century.
Deng Feng, the director of the Ninth Division, lit the peony cigarette between his fingers, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Let me remind Lao Zhao, a few years ago, in the conference room No. 3, the Eighth Division, the Ninth Division, The emergency meeting of the Thirteenth Department was held for three days in a row."
The Eighth Department is the department under the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense responsible for the aerospace field of the Republic of China. The Eighth Department of Aerospace Artifacts of the Republic has the right to intervene in any space artifacts of the Republic that have the ability to fly into outer space.
The lineup of aerospace, nuclear energy, and foreign trade seems to be a bit more exciting than shipping, nuclear energy, and foreign trade.
In fact, this is also true. The last time the three major departments of aerospace, nuclear energy, and foreign trade under the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense came together, they directly created the largest arms purchase order since the founding of the Republic.
Exported strategic missiles to a major Gulf country for US$3.5 billion.
Hearing what Deng Feng, Director of the Ninth Division, said, the already quiet conference room became even quieter. Even the slight sizzling sound of the three old smokers when they smoked could not be heard.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Since the words have been said, it is not difficult to guess what the three attributes of nuclear energy, ships, and foreign trade should be combined.
Although they have guessed everything, the doubts in the minds of the three people are even greater. At the moment, the Republic does not have an aircraft carrier, and the only ship that can be combined with nuclear power is the nuclear submarine.
Although the Republic¡¯s strategic missile technology is not very good, it depends on who is competing. The United Kingdom has degenerated to the point of buying the Trident from its cousin¡¯s house.The speed is negligible. In terms of actual performance, the Republic's strategic missiles are the only four strategic strike systems in the world that have been put into active duty.
"Compared with the strategic missile strike system, which is technically backward but is mature enough to be used, the Republic's nuclear submarine project is not worth mentioning.
Can nuclear submarines really be exported? Even if you can earn foreign exchange by exporting, who is the one who has so much money that he has no place to spend it?
The three old military engineers felt as if their hearts were boiling. They really couldn't figure out this strange thing.
