Lin Chenran came to a certain base of the Navy.

The sun shines through the clouds, reflecting the various ships and busy figures neatly arranged in the base.

At this moment, a familiar and revered figure came into his eyes - Elder Huang, the father of Flame Nation Nuclear Submarine, was standing not far away, intently examining the design drawings of a new submarine.

Lin Chenran walked forward quickly, with a warm smile on his face, and said in a loud but polite voice, "Hello Elder Huang, I didn't expect to see you here!"

He bowed slightly and paid his most sincere respect to this senior who had made great contributions to the country.

Elder Huang heard a familiar voice, then raised his head, saw Lin Chenran and showed an amiable smile, and responded, "Haha, boy Lin, you are here!"

"Come here!"

With that said, Elder Huang waved to Lin Chenran.

Lin Chenran hurriedly walked to Elder Huang, looking at the drawing densely covered with data and lines, he couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart.

He asked softly, "Elder Huang, why are you here in person? Is there any important task that requires your guidance?"

Suddenly, Lin Chenran seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead suddenly and suddenly said to himself, "Oh! So that's it. No wonder Elder Zhang just said a few words on the phone before hanging up in a hurry. It seems that this matter has something to do with our Flame Nation's Nuclear Submarine!"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the reason.

Nuclear Submarine is an important part of the country's strategic weapons, and its research and development and manufacturing involve many core secrets, so every step must be taken with caution.

It is precisely because of this that Elder Zhang behaves so cautiously, for fear of leaking any information.

"That's right, Xiaolin, you are very smart!" Elder Huang nodded approvingly and continued, "Nuclear Submarine is vital to our country's national defense security, so the confidentiality of related work is naturally required to be extremely high."

His tone was serious and solemn, making people feel the heavy responsibility.

Lin Chenran nodded solemnly.

Then, Elder Huang changed the topic and said excitedly in a calm voice, "Boy Lin, I heard Elder Zhang say that you want the country's third aircraft carrier to be nuclear powered?"

"We haven't even seen a domestic aircraft carrier yet."

And Lin Chenran replied confidently, "We 704 Shipyard have complete aircraft carrier technology. As long as the country has funds, we can build it."

We are short of funds now!

There are also various warships in the aircraft carrier formation.

Flame Nation The navy gives priority to equipping various warships.

Equipped on the back of the aircraft carrier.

Elder Huang on the side smiled helplessly, "Military expenses have been bothering the development of the Flame Nation navy."

This is also something that can't be helped.

Priority should be given to solving the problem of food and clothing for the common people.

And let him get rich first!

As for the development of the army, especially the development of the navy, we are not so anxious.

As long as the combat effectiveness of the army is not reduced, this is a very good guarantee.

Now the Flame Nation army's idea is to give priority to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army, then the air force, and finally the navy.

"Elder Huang, the development of the navy is pretty good now. At least there is hope, and part of the funds in hand can be used to purchase warships."

The previous Flame Nation navy was really poor and did not add a single powerful warship for decades.

And now!

As Flame Nation's economy develops more and more rapidly, and various weapons and equipment are sold, military expenditures are slightly abundant.

This gives the Flame Nation navy the funds to purchase a certain number of warships.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran asked directly without hesitation, "Elder Huang, why did you call me here in such a hurry and eagerly this time?"

Speaking of Nuclear Submarine and Lin Chenran, I have some understanding of them, but I can't say they are proficient.

He only has a little bit of knowledge in this area.

At this time, Elder Huang also did not mince words, and said simply, "This time I specially asked Elder Zhang to notify you. The purpose is very clear, I just want to discuss with you the relevant matters related to Nuclear Submarine."

Elder Huang paused, and then explained with a solemn expression, "Today, the situation in the international community has become increasingly volatile and unpredictable."

"As for the performance of the first-generation Nuclear Submarine we currently have in hand, it is no longer able to meet the growing actual needs of the navy."

"After careful consideration, we decided to start the plan immediately to prepare and carry out the design work of the new generation Nuclear Submarine, so as to better adapt to the changing situation and the urgent needs of the navy."

Hearing this, Lin Chenran's face instantly showed an expression of extreme shock, and his eyes stared straight at Elder Huang, as if to say, "Are you serious?"

After a while, he finally came to his senses, his body was trembling slightly, and he stammered, "Elder Huang, you must be kidding me, right?"

"To be honest, I can say that I know everything about the design and development of Nuclear Submarine - I know nothing about it!"

Elder Huang directly interrupted Lin Chenran's speech, "I know your strength, don't hide it in front of me."

Lin Chenran's strength is obvious to all, so Elder Huang asked Navy Elder Zhang to notify the other party to come over to this naval base.

"Uh?"

"Elder Huang, aren't you trying to rush the ducks to the shelves?"

"In other aspects, I can give you some suggestions. Nuclear Submarine really touches on my blind spots in knowledge!"

Lin Chenran waved his hand helplessly and shook his head.

"No! You duck, I have to catch up."

Immediately afterwards, Elder Huang led Lin Chenran through many checkpoints with steady steps and arrived at the inconspicuous design building at the base.

After the two entered the building, Elder Huang led Lin Chenran to his office on the top floor with ease.

Entering the office, Elder Huang walked to the desk filled with various documents and drawings, bent down and carefully took out a piece of information from the drawer.

When Elder Huang handed it to Lin Chenran, he saw clearly the words "Flame Nation Second Generation Nuclear Submarine Design Sketch" printed on it.

Seeing these words, Lin Chenran couldn't help but take a breath. "Elder Huang, this... is this something I can see?"

Nuclear Submarine is an important part of a country's national defense strength.

It is related to the security and stability of the entire country.

Lin Chenran knew the weight of it, and he really didn't dare to touch such highly confidential things easily, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to himself.

However, Elder Huang nodded with a smile, "You can watch."

"Before this, I had asked my superiors for instructions and received approval."

With that said, Elder Huang made a gesture to Lin Chenran, instructing him to carefully check the second generation Nuclear Submarine diagram of Flame Nation in his hand.

After hearing this, Lin Chenran still had concerns in his heart, but he could only sigh helplessly.

Since the superior leaders had already agreed, he could only bite the bullet and continue reading.

Through preliminary observation of this sketch, Lin Chenran discovered that Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine has undergone a large-scale upgrade based on the first generation Type 091 Strategic Nuclear Submarine.

In order to give this new Nuclear Submarine the ability to carry more advanced ballistic missiles.

The designers of Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine carried out drastic modifications to the original hull - they directly greatly enlarged and lengthened it.

This move was like performing a complete surgical operation on Nuclear Submarine.

After this operation, the appearance of the entire Nuclear Submarine has undergone tremendous changes.

The lines that were once as smooth and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water now appear a bit bloated, clumsy and overwhelmed due to excessive enlargement and lengthening.

Just like a turtle carrying a huge and heavy shell, it moves forward slowly in the water.

The negative impacts of such changes cannot be ignored.

Because the hull of the boat becomes too large and long, it can easily cause more water noise when traveling in the water.

These noises are like countless noisy mosquitoes flying wantonly in the silent underwater world, which greatly interferes with the quietness of the submarine itself and greatly increases the risk factor of being detected by the enemy's sonar system.

Lin Chenran, who was standing aside and watching quietly, saw his eyebrows furrowed tightly and his face solemn after witnessing this series of situations.

Elder Huang, who had been quietly observing the changes in Lin Chenran's expression, felt the curiosity in his heart surge like a tide. Finally, he could no longer suppress it and broke the silence. "Boy Lin, how do you feel about this plan? Tell me quickly."

Elder Huang then asked, "Look carefully and see if there is anything that needs to be changed or adjusted?"

At this moment, Lin Chenran's heart was like fifteen buckets of water - he was up and down, and he was extremely uneasy.

Because in his eyes, the design and development plan of this Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine has many problems, and it can be said that it is completely substandard.

However, standing in front of him was the highly respected and experienced Elder Huang, and he really did not dare to easily show even a trace of dissatisfaction or "disgust".

This really puts Lin Chenran in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

For a moment, Lin Chenran fell into extreme entanglement, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Elder Huang, who has always been observing words and expressions, naturally and keenly captured the fluctuations and changes in Lin Chenran's emotions.

I saw Elder Huang slowly reaching out and patting Lin Chenran's shoulder gently, with an amiable smile on his face, comforting and encouraging. "Boy Lin, don't be so nervous!"

"If you have any ideas, just say so. Are you still afraid that an old man like me will be unreasonable?"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of old fogy who is stubborn and stubborn."

Hearing Elder Huang's words, Lin Chenran breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little trembling.

He asked cautiously in a slightly tentative tone, "Then... then if I tell you, Elder Huang, you really won't be angry, right?"

Elder Huang laughed heartily and replied, "Haha, of course not! Just speak boldly, I am listening carefully with my ears perked up!"

With that said, Elder Huang picked up a thick notebook from the desktop, opened a new page, and was ready to record Lin Chenran's opinions and views in detail.

The first thing I want to talk about is the appearance design.

"Why do I think it is so similar to Type 091 Strategic Nuclear Submarine the more I look at it?"

"It's like the latter is directly stretched and widened!"

With this doubt in mind, he finally decided to raise it to Elder Huang cautiously.

I saw Elder Huang smiling, nodded calmly, and admitted generously. "Haha, you really have a unique vision!"

"Yes, this Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine is indeed designed and developed on the basis of Type 091 Strategic Nuclear Submarine."

After hearing Elder Huang's personal confirmation, Lin Chenran's doubts not only did not disappear, but became more serious.

He frowned and said worriedly, "Elder Huang, didn't you and your team consider that this design would have major flaws when you designed it?"

"Such a design may make the Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine look too bulky. Once put into use, it will inevitably produce huge noise that is difficult to control during driving."

He paused and then added, "We cannot ignore the submarine's driving noise just to be able to install ballistic missiles."

For a strategic Nuclear Submarine, staying quiet and stealthy is crucial.

Only in this way can it become a truly ruthless killer lurking in the deep sea, successfully break through the opponent's numerous blockades without the enemy noticing, and deal them a fatal blow.

But now the underwater noise has suddenly increased, and as soon as it moves, it may be immediately detected by the enemy's advanced sonar system, and then it will be violently attacked.

In that case, the consequences will be disastrous.

Lin Chenran obviously disapproves of Elder Huang and others' design and development plan for the second-generation strategy Nuclear Submarine.

Elder Huang frowned upon hearing this.

He and Nuclear Submarine Design and R&D Team really didn't pay attention to this aspect before.

Previously it was to increase the combat effectiveness of Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine.

The launch area for submarine-launched ballistic missiles has been deliberately added.

But after Lin Chenran reminded him, he suddenly understood.

In order to increase the launch area of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine became very bloated.

Is this strategy Nuclear Submarine still strategy Nuclear Submarine?

Or the deep-sea killer?

It definitely can't be the strategy Nuclear Submarine!

Definitely not the Deep Sea Killer!

"This is a really big problem that we really didn't notice before."

"It was right for me to ask Elder Zhang to call you over to participate in the research and development of Nuclear Submarine."

Elder Huang praised Lin Chenran and recorded the other person's thoughts.

They really didn't think about this before.

"Elder Huang, have you noticed that after the second-generation strategic cooperation Nuclear Submarine increased its growth, the speed actually dropped. The power output system on Type 091 Strategic Nuclear Submarine simply cannot meet the needs of Second-generation Strategic Nuclear Submarine."

According to the design drawings, they have not changed the power output system and have returned to the original Type 091 Strategic Nuclear Submarine power output system.

This simply cannot meet the demand. After all, the volume has increased. If the original power output system is used again, the speed will definitely be much slower.

Is this kind of strategy Nuclear Submarine qualified?

It is definitely unqualified!
