Chapter 70 Torpedo show its power (2)

Although the torpedo at this time has just solved the problem of driving and buoyancy, and the specific model and size have not been determined yet, the most important thing for torpedoes is these two items, and the rest are easy to solve. Besides, Li Zhen has never expected to guide or track torpedoes in this era. All he needs is a weapon that can quickly sneak underwater and attack enemy ships. What is line guide, infrared guidance, wake tracking, and sonar guidance Li Zhen does not need it, nor can he study it. To put it bluntly, what he needs is not high-tech. All he wants is a "cannonball" that can attack the enemy in the water.

Finally, after nearly four years of research, a torpedo that seemed extremely simple in later generations appeared. This torpedo was named "Great White Shark One" by Li Zhen. The structure of the "Great White Shark One" is very simple, but simple does not mean simple. The main components of the torpedo in later generations are here, including striker, shell, stability wing, explosives, buoyancy devices, propeller thrusters, fuel, etc., which can be said to be all available.

Except for high-tech equipment that cannot be made without guidance, sensing, intelligence, etc., there are all other things that should be available, and they are even very similar in appearance to later generations - but they are just a little similar in appearance. Later generations are all shot without taking care of the torpedoes, while the "Great White Shark One" torpedoes cannot be taken care of after firing. The two sound similar, but in fact they are completely opposite. The torpedoes in later generations will automatically adjust the direction when they are shot out, so there is no need to be a human to control, while the "Great White Shark One" torpedo has nothing. This thing is a shell underwater, and it cannot be taken care of after firing out.

But there are not so many messy things, so the "Great White Shark One" torpedo is very simple to fiddle with. You just need to calculate the amount in advance and then aim at the enemy's ship. Moreover, because there is not so much electronic equipment, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by magnetic fields, radio waves or enemy interference sources, so it is a misstep or even causing yourself to hit your own mishap. The only thing that can affect the accuracy of the torpedo is the waves, but this is also impossible. The torpedo technology in later generations is so developed, and the hit rate is not high.

Besides, ships of this era have never seen any torpedoes, so they naturally do not install any anti-torpedo equipment, and their reaction speed is not fast. Therefore, if they are aimed at by torpedoes, they are basically impossible to escape, unless there is a problem with the torpedo fuse and is disturbed by sea water, and deviate from the original channel - but the latter is not a big problem, just calculate the advance amount. The enemy's ship is not as large as the speed of the torpedo is not slow, so even if it deviates, it will not deviate much.

As for the performance of the "Great White Shark One" torpedo, because of its excellent fuel, the speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour (this is already the speed of the US standard torpedo in the 1970s. You should know that the "MK48" with a standard torpedo without a bottom-equipped nuclear submarine in the 1970s was only 111,000 meters per hour. Of course, there is also a factor in that the "Great White Shark One" weighs only more than 100 kilograms, while the US's torpedo exceeds one ton). However, due to the intense combustion of fuel, the torpedo's range is insufficient, and the effective range is only about two kilometers. If it goes far, it will sink into the sea to fish and become a real "torpedo" - but this is not a disadvantage. In ancient times without guidance, even if the range can reach ten kilometers, can you still be able to hit it accurately? It would be good to fly out nearly two kilometers. No matter how far it is, even if it calculates the advance volume, it will not be accurate.

What's more, now there are so many ships of the enemy, densely packed. In order to ensure the stability of the torpedo, Li Zhen put the enemy within 500 meters of use - so many ships and such a close distance, it is impossible to be inaccurate.

Now the facts have proved that the power of torpedo is really powerful. No matter how big a ship is, it only takes one hit to be completely destroyed by a whole ship. Cheng Chuliang saw with his own eyes that a stern of a ship was hit by a torpedo, and then the entire tail was blown away, and even the entire ship was blown up and slowly sank. This is also the only one among all the ships hit that have maintained integrity.

If the hit is not a torpedo but a shell, even a giant 150 mm naval gun will only have a large hole at most after being hit, and there is still a possibility of rescue. But now the result is that the overall ship has become the Titanic (the scene where the Titanic sinks is the most classic scene that Ben San has seen). In addition to the charging of torpedo far exceeds that of the shell, another reason is that the underwater explosion is stronger than the explosion in the air.

Everyone should have heard of this principle. When an explosive explodes in water, the high-pressure gas of the explosion will also produce bubbles under the water. When an explosive of 500Kg TNT equivalent, it will even produce bubbles with a diameter of more than ten meters. The pulsation pressure caused by bubble expansion and contraction and the jet generated when the bubble collapse will cause great damage to the ship. The cycle of bubble pulsation is generally similar to the low-order vibration period of the ship, which can cause the ship to break. The peak pressure of the bubble jet is extremely high, which can further expand the local breakage caused by the shock wave. Therefore, sometimes the near-blast loss is even more serious than the damage to the lower part of the waterline caused by direct hits. In the air, the shock wave will spread rapidly to the surroundings, and in the water, it will cause two damages to one "squeeze" and one "pressure". At the very least, the ship's shell is bent and cracked, and at worst, it will be broken into several pieces immediately, and it will be completely finished.

In other words, everyone should have played firecrackers. If the firecrackers are thrown outside and explode, they can only make a loud noise, and then a little smoke is wafting. If the firecrackers are thrown into the water, although they hear a mud sound, the reaction of the water is much stronger than that in the air. If the water depth is not enough, it can even blow up the mud at the bottom of the water - if there are any fish nearby, they will probably be dizzy if they shoot one shot (this is a real thing, a friend did it like this when he was a child).

“…”

After the torpedo explosion, the sea surface was silent. Not to mention humans, even the sea breeze and waves seemed to be shaken, and the momentum gradually became smaller.

"Si!"

"Si!"

"Si!"

“…”

Others are quiet, but the soldiers on the torpedo boat are not quiet. They have not practiced with scrapped target boats. They have been used to it for a long time and have trained a big heart. They have not even seen the explosion effect. Instead, after the torpedo was launched, they continue to prepare, adjust the direction of the torpedo launch tube, and then launch the second round of torpedo in the shortest time.
