Chapter 226 P700 Missile

Chapter 226 P-700 Missile

"This is the living area." Kanishevsky had obviously been here before and was very familiar with the situation inside. He introduced it as he walked: "Go in from this side, and you can see the gym, swimming pool, solarium, sauna and entertainment area, etc."

I knew it was very luxurious here, but I didn't expect it to be so luxurious!

Yang Xi pushed open the door of a swimming pool with some curiosity. Sure enough, he saw a pool inside. It was not large, but you could swim in it! He has been the captain of a nuclear submarine for so long, and his eyes are full of envy. This is too awesome!

Although the submarine is under maintenance, as a nuclear submarine that originally has unlimited energy, it is just a skin, and there is no need to shut down the reactor, so the reactor is still operating at low power.

Some nuclear reactors are not safe at low power, so they need to operate at high power. However, the reactor on the Oscar-class nuclear submarine is different. This reactor can circulate naturally at 30% power, and does not need the most noisy circulating water pump in one circuit. Therefore, it operates like this most of the time, unless it plans to dock at the port for more than half a year, the reactor will be completely shut down.

So, when they went in, the power supply inside was normal, the ventilation pipes were running normally, and the lights were bright. Anyway, the electricity would be wasted if it was not used.

"Go through here and you will reach the torpedo compartment." Kanishevsky continued to introduce: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"If it's inconvenient, forget it." Qin Tao said politely.

"It's not inconvenient, take a look." Kanishevsky said.

Creaking... the sound of the hatch sounded.

When several people appeared at the hatch door, one of them turned his head in surprise, and his eyes were full of uneasiness.

Isn't it the sound-absorbing tile posted outside? Why did this worker appear here?

Qin Tao and others were very curious.

The Oscar-class nuclear submarine, which is currently under maintenance, is not equipped with any weapons, and the torpedo compartment is empty, so this person has no way to dodge. He stared with two big eyes, his eyes flickering.

"Who are you?" Kanishevsky asked.

"Who are you?" The other party actually asked back.

Qin Tao smiled, walked over, and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Brother, you don't have money to drink? Come, I'll give you 20 rubles, you put down the things hidden on your body!"

While speaking, Qin Tao took out 20 rubles. This action made the other two people a little curious. What is Qin Tao going to do?

"You, don't catch me?" The man hesitated.

"Of course, has the salary not been paid for several months? Is it not enough? Even if it is not enough, you can't do stupid things." Qin Tao said, shaking the money in his hand.

"Okay." The man quickly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, then, like a magic trick, he took out something from his two trouser pockets. Looking at the orange color, Kanishevsky reacted.

"You, you actually dared to steal Soviet property! Do you know what these brass parts are for? You can sell them for at most ten kopecks, but our submarine's torpedoes will never be launched again. You are committing a crime, a crime!" Kanishevsky roared.

"You just said you wouldn't arrest me, why are you going back on your word now?" The man was also anxious: "I just exchanged a few bottles of wine. I haven't drunk for a long time!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Qin Tao hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Kanishevsky, I don't think he caused any bad consequences. As long as he was hit, that's it. There's no need to embarrass a worker." Qin Tao said, and then looked at the man again: "Don't worry, I keep my word. As long as you put those things back in place, you can leave safely. We won't hand you over to the KGB."

Kanishevsky sighed: "Yes, it's just a small matter. As long as you promise not to do it again in the future, I can pretend that nothing happened."

"Yes, yes."

The worker hurried to install it, and soon installed all the parts, and then stood aside.

"All installed? Have you done anything else?"

"No."

"Has anyone else come in?"

"No."

"Okay, you go."

The man left as if he had been pardoned.

"If I find you stealing state property next time, you'll be dead!" Looking at the other person's back, Kanishevsky shouted.

Qin Tao was very emotional. These big guys could easily sell the state property and enrich themselves. Those small guys, who didn't have this ability, could only steal some parts and sell them for money.

It was definitely not these little mice that brought down the Red Empire, but the big rats. However, at this time, these big rats stood on the moral high ground, so calm and composed, and they were not ashamed of digging the corners of the empire.

However, I like these termites very much!

Qin Tao's mood was so complicated. He looked at the back of the worker leaving, and then continued to admire the huge submarine.

The torpedo compartment is empty, so we can only imagine it. Just look at the space inside and you can see that if it is full, it can fit more than 20 torpedoes or missiles.

In addition to the 53 torpedoes and 65 torpedoes, it can also carry special anti-submarine missiles, which are fired from the torpedo tubes, then jump out of the sea and fly. After more than 100 kilometers, it falls down and then becomes a torpedo, which is specially used to attack long-range submarines.

At this time, there was another person in ordinary work clothes, groping for something there. Qin Tao and others didn't care. They just thought it was an ordinary worker, or even someone who ran in to dismantle something.

"This is really the most powerful Soviet underwater weapon." Qin Tao couldn't help but sighed.

"Yes, this type of submarine is indeed the most powerful. Especially the P-700 missiles outside it, which are the best weapons to attack the enemy!"

"That's right, each of those missiles is worth ten gold watches."

Hearing Qin Tao say this, Kanishevsky's expression was a little stiff. After hesitating for a while, he swallowed his saliva and said, "We don't have such missiles, but there is a sample missile in the Ruby Design Bureau."

In the Soviet Union, the system of separation of factories and institutes was implemented. Various design bureaus were responsible for design, and construction was uniformly coordinated by Moscow.

In the field of nuclear submarines, the old Russians are quite powerful. They have designed and built nearly 300 nuclear submarines, and the models are also very complicated. The designs of these nuclear submarines mainly come from 3 design bureaus, namely the famous "Ruby", "Malachite" and "Lapis Lazuli" (also called "Lazuli").

Among these three design bureaus, the Ruby Design Bureau is the most dazzling.

The Rubin Design Bureau, established in 1926, has the longest history. It undertakes all the research and development of Soviet ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Two-thirds of Soviet nuclear submarines are designed by this design bureau. Specifically, from the first-generation Type 658 (H/Hotel Class), to the second-generation Type 667A (Y/Yankee Class), 667B/BD/BDR/BDRM (D/Delta Class), the third-generation Type 941 (Typhoon Class), and the fourth-generation Type 955 Borei Class, all were developed by "Ruby".

In addition to ballistic nuclear submarines, there are also a large number of cruise missile nuclear submarines, such as the first-generation cruise missile nuclear submarines of the old Russians, Type 659/675 (E/Echo 1/II), and the third-generation cruise missile nuclear submarines, Type 949/949A Oscar I/II, all of which were developed by the Rubin Design Bureau.

Moreover, the Rubin Design Bureau is also good at doing special things. The third-generation attack nuclear submarine that can dive below one thousand meters, the only 685-type "Komsomolets" in the world, is also their masterpiece.

In addition to nuclear submarines, the Rubin Design Bureau also studies a large number of conventional submarines. Almost all the submarine models introduced by my country come from here, from the ancient 633-type to the later 877-type, etc., are all products of this design bureau.

However, although a large number of submarines were designed, the honor of designing the first nuclear submarine for the old Russians did not belong to this design bureau, but to the Malachite Design Bureau, which is also located in Leningrad. This design bureau mainly designs attack nuclear submarines.

Now, Qin Tao said that this ballistic watch is worth ten gold watches, which is all nonsense. Unexpectedly, Kanishevsky actually believed it and racked his brains to find products.

This type of ballistic missile is the most powerful strike weapon of the Russians. Therefore, those that have been equipped to the troops are strictly recorded and cannot be obtained. However, the spare ammunition obtained by the design bureau when designing these submarines is not in this category. It is much more convenient to get this kind of spare ammunition.

At this time, Qin Tao smiled when he heard Kanishevsky say this: "Really? Are you familiar with that side?"

"Bazarov and I are classmates." Kanishevsky said: "He should be interested."

The Type 949 nuclear submarine was originally designed by Pustytsev, the chief designer of the Rubin Design Bureau, but in 1977, Pustytsev died, so Bazarov took over. Now in the Rubin Design Bureau, Bazarov is still a person who can make the final decision. If you find him, there should be no problem.

After the end of World War II, the Russians attached great importance to anti-ship missiles. After all, their surface fleet is temporarily inferior to the Americans, so they can only continue to develop anti-aircraft carrier forces.

The Russians even set up a special machinery design bureau to design special aircraft carrier killers.

In the 1950s, they developed the P-6 anti-ship missile, NATO codenamed SS-N-3, with a speed of 1.4 Mach and a range of 460 kilometers; in the 1960s, they developed the P-500 anti-ship missile, Western codenamed SS-N-12 "Basalt" missile, with a speed of 1.5 to 2 Mach and a range of 550 kilometers.

The emergence of these missiles gave the Russians a killer weapon when facing the American aircraft carrier fleet, but these weapons were not the best. The P-6 missile needs to provide full-range radar tracking guidance, otherwise it can only guarantee a hit rate within tens of kilometers, making it impossible to play its hundreds of kilometers range advantage.

During the flight process, the P-500 series needs to be provided with mid-course guidance by ship-borne helicopters to correct the trajectory. It is very dangerous to fly a helicopter into the air defense firepower circle of the aircraft carrier formation.

Therefore, Lao Maozi needs a brand-new missile that can be launched underwater from a submarine without mid-course guidance, and has strong lethality and can attack large ships such as aircraft carriers.

This demand gave birth to the P-700 Granite anti-ship missile. The West gave it the number SS-N-19 "Shipwreck". You can know from the name how afraid the West is of this missile. (A common saying in the media may be that someone randomly found a corresponding word from the computer.)

Although from the model point of view, the P-700 seems to be an upgraded version of the P-500, in fact, the appearance of the two is very different.

The P-500 has long wings and a huge turbojet engine air inlet on the belly. The whole thing looks like a small aircraft. The P-700 is a cylindrical smooth projectile with a slight bulge in the middle. It only has folding wings with a small area and no additional air inlet. It only has an air inlet similar to the MiG-21 at the warhead position.

This is because with the advancement of technology, the engines they use are different. The integral ramjet engine used by the P-700 is very different from the previous turbojet engines.

At the same time, in order to solve the problems of the previous generation missile, it also adopted many special methods in the guidance of the missile, such as the famous pilot bomb mode.

Anyway, if an attack is launched against the enemy, it will definitely be a saturation attack. There is a high probability that there will be no second chance to launch missiles. Therefore, whether it is a Type 949 nuclear submarine or other surface cruisers, once the missiles are launched, they will all be shot out.

In this way, as long as there is a pilot missile flying at high altitude, it can capture the target, and at the same time, the target information is transmitted to other low-altitude flying missiles through the data link to correct the trajectory. After the pilot bomb is destroyed, the low-altitude flying missile will One will climb up, become the pilot bomb, and continue to lead the flight until it is shot down or the attack is completed.

This method sounds nice to say, but in fact, there is a big problem: high-altitude flying and low-altitude flying consume different fuel, and the range is very different. If you can fly more than 500 kilometers at high altitude, , then when it reaches low altitude, it can only fly more than a hundred kilometers.

The maximum ranges reached by the first three models are all data obtained at high altitudes. At low altitudes, this data will shrink rapidly. The faster the missile, the more the range will shrink.

It is also said that this kind of missile can be guided by helicopters, maritime reconnaissance aircraft or ocean surveillance satellites. After all, this sounds more reliable.

Therefore, no one knows what the attack method of the P-700 missile is. It's all a mystery anyway, even its range is a mystery.

Lao Maozi will not announce the range of his trump card, so that it will be effective in actual combat.

For example, the West originally thought that this kind of missile can only fly 500 kilometers, so it is safe as long as it is 500 kilometers away, and it can safely sail 600 kilometers away from the Lao Maozi aircraft carrier formation. As a result, this kind of missile can fly Seven hundred kilometers away, flying over to fight!

Qin Tao was just talking, but in the end these greedy old men were tempted. In this case, what else is there to say? Go and have a look!

Anyway, it will take some time to dismantle the reactor of the second titanium alloy submarine. During this time, I will walk around and take a look. Leningrad is not too far away. Moreover, this should be the first or last time I go to Leningrad. In less than two months, there will be a referendum there and the old name of St. Petersburg will be restored.

Sitting in the Lada car heading to Leningrad, Qin Tao can appreciate this country that is in the midst of change and turmoil. People are still full of yearning for a new life. Unfortunately, they are too naive.

Qin Tao sighed in his heart, looking at the scenes on both sides, and arrived in Leningrad that night.

This is a historic city.

On May 27, 1703, Lao Maozi looked at the Baltic Sea with excitement and held a grand foundation laying ceremony for St. Petersburg on Rabbit Island. Peter the Great built the Peter and Paul Fortress and garrisoned it with heavy troops to defend against the attack of the Swedish army. From then on, the Baltic Sea outlet Incorporated into Russian territory, Peter the Great created the Baltic Fleet in St. Petersburg, giving Russia its own navy for the first time in history.

Out of the need for territory, just like the emperor guarding the country, in 1712, Lao Maozi moved the capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg for more than 200 years. The ambitious Peter the Great was very satisfied with this place.

This lasted until 1914, when World War II broke out and the city was renamed Petrograd.

In 1917, with the firing of the cruiser Aurora, the October Revolution came to a successful conclusion and the Soviet was established. The next year, Lao Maozi moved the capital back to Moscow.

After Lenin's death in 1924, the city was renamed Leningrad in memory of Lenin.

More than ten years later, the cruel World War II started. The Germans almost set foot on Moscow. However, that was the matter of the Central Route Army. The South Route also occupied most of Ukraine's territory. Only the North Route, starting from World War II, has been It took two months to rush to Leningrad and could no longer move forward. This city named after the great leader will never be allowed to be tainted by the Nazis.

Therefore, even if the city was in ruins, the Germans did not advance a step forward and finally withdrew from here.

Looking at it now, the city still maintains its classical style. The spire houses, whether they have been restored or rebuilt, are still antique.

The car stopped at the entrance of Ruby Design Bureau. Just as a few people were about to get out of the car, they heard a quarrel inside.

"No one is allowed to go, no one is allowed to go!" One person shouted: "I have no control over other units, but the staff of my design bureau are not allowed to participate in any activities!"

"General Bazarov, why do you disagree?"

"If you don't agree, you just don't agree. As long as you are my employees, I will not allow you to go!"

"Come on, you are so arrogant that you can continue to work even if you don't get paid for three months, but we can't! The Red Empire is rotten to the core, and we want to go up and celebrate the end of this era!"

Although that day has not yet arrived, everyone is looking forward to it. In the entire Leningrad, there are few people who have Bazarov's mentality.

What a noble person!

Qin Tao sighed secretly in his heart.

"You can't do this!" Bazarov shouted loudly: "You think about how our country was established back then. We overthrew the serf system, we established a new country, we had collective communes, we Became the master of the country!”

"We are not the masters of the country. We can't even get wages. We can't even buy bread. This alliance should have been disbanded long ago. We want to be like the free world in the West. We don't want to live this life now. !”

"What's wrong with life now? Isn't it bad?" Bazarov said angrily: "Don't believe in the West, they are all lies."

"General Bazarov, you are living in your dream!" The people below shouted: "Look at Germany, after the merger, life in Germany is so good, we also look forward to living that kind of life , please get out of the way, get out of the way!”

"No, I won't let you. Your ideas are too naive! It's impossible for us to integrate into the Western world. This is a scam!"

"Scam? Comrade Chief Engineer, if you want to prove that your words are correct, then please first pay us our arrears of wages and let us realize the benefits of the country."

"Yes, we are looking forward to a new life, a new life, please don't stop us!"

"That's right, please get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Can't go, ouch!"

The scene became chaotic.

Although no one took action against Bazarov, Bazarov could not stop these people. Everyone just pushed him a few times and pushed Bazarov aside. So, everyone started to follow him. walked past.

The crowd left, and Bazarov sat aside with empty eyes, muttering to himself: "Why, why on earth is this?"

Bazarov could not understand all this.

He is in his fifties. Although the shadow of the war can no longer be found in his memory, like his companions who experienced the Great Patriotic War, he has supreme loyalty to the Soviet Union.

He didn't want to see his country fall apart like this. He didn't want to see the empire destroyed. He couldn't understand why these people under his command were still cheering for this? Do these people want to make this empire collapse immediately?

How is this going?

Bazarov couldn't figure it out.

These people under him are ten or twenty years younger than him. These people are supposed to be the happiest generation. Can they hate their country just because of some current difficulties?

"If you have milk, you are a mother." At this moment, a voice came to his ear: "For them, loyalty to the country must be placed in front of their own food problems. If they take a few months If they don’t pay wages, then of course they won’t speak well of the country.”

"The country is in a difficult period now. Can't they understand the country's difficulties?" After saying this, Bazarov saw the person standing in front of him. He didn't know him at all, but it was the person next to him. Know it was Kanishevsky, his classmate.

Both of them graduated from the Leningrad Naval Academy. However, after graduation, one's job was to build submarines and the other's job was to dismantle submarines. However, this did not change the relationship between the two. They have always been good friends.

At this time, seeing Bazarov's appearance, Kanishevsky felt very sad.

"The younger generation has not experienced the baptism of the October Revolution, nor the cruelty of the Patriotic War. The early stage of their growth was when the Soviet Union was at its strongest. They have never suffered from hunger. Now let them eat Of course they will complain if their stomachs are not full. "Qin Tao said: "There are many noble people, but for ordinary people, they don't understand any big principles. They just want to have enough food. It's that simple. ”

When in later generations, capital began to take advantage of people's vegetable baskets, no one would say it was not good. After subsidies, they were very satisfied with the pork, which was far lower than the market price. They will not consider that when the market is monopolized by capital in the future, the initial subsidies will be earned back and pork will be more expensive. They will only know that I got a temporary advantage, and I have to say good things to him.

What’s next? Who will care?

Let’s solve the current problem first.

Ordinary people are not so noble, not so long-term, they only care about the present.

"So, if you pay them wages, they will definitely listen to you."

The previous analyzes are all foreshadowing. Qin Tao didn't want to talk about those big principles at all. Why the Red Empire collapsed was a topic studied by countless politicians and historians. He just said what ordinary people think, if you have breasts, you are a mother. Who says you can’t pay them wages?

"Yes, it would be nice if they were paid wages, but now, the country is in a mess and there is no one to manage us. I called Moscow several times, but there was no result."

Bazarov is not a stingy boss and is reluctant to pay his employees. Mainly because departments like theirs rely on allocations from superiors. Without allocations, he has no money at all.

"Now, in the Soviet Union, there are very few units that can pay wages. If you want to pay wages to your subordinates, then the leaders of these departments have to find a way." Qin Tao said to Bazarov: "Your Ruby Design Bureau "If you have any unwanted junk here, sell it to me and you will have money to pay the workers."

"Yes, Bazarov, I'm sad to see you like this. This is Qin, from the East, specializing in collecting rags." Kanishevsky said to Bazarov: "Where are you? , isn’t there a P-700 sample bomb? That thing is very valuable, if you sell it..."

"No, no, I won't do that." Bazarov said: "That missile contains the top secrets of our navy and must not be sold!"

Bazarov is a man of principles.

Qin Tao also felt very emotional. It was difficult to persuade him, but it was also easy. All he had to do was break his illusion.
