Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Fang Yu put down the phone, glanced at the engineers in the office who were still immersed in the shock of the satellite reconnaissance plan, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Actually, in addition to satellite reconnaissance and preemptive strikes, I have a more important idea."

Wang Changhai and others immediately pricked up their ears.

They knew Fang Yu too well. Whenever he spoke in this tone, he was bound to do something shocking.

Mr. Lu on the other end of the phone immediately asked, "What's your idea?"

"Nuclear submarine." Fang Yu's voice was steady and powerful. "A nuclear submarine that can launch ballistic missiles underwater!"

Fang Yu's words made the office quiet instantly.

Nuclear submarine, this word is like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing countless ripples.

Mr. Lu's breathing became noticeably faster, and even the telephone line was trembling slightly because of his hand tightly gripping the receiver.

"Nuclear... nuclear submarine?" Mr. Lu's voice trembled. "Xiao Fang, are you talking about the kind of submarine that can sail underwater for months and launch missiles?"

"right."

Fang Yu's voice remained calm.

"The nuclear propulsion system allows the submarine to sail underwater for three or four months without resupply."

"The most important thing is that it can carry more than a dozen ballistic missiles. These missiles are hidden underwater and cannot be detected by the enemy at all."

"When war breaks out, our nuclear submarines can launch missiles from any sea area and strike deep targets of the enemy."

The engineers in the office looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Wang Changhai couldn't help but say, "But Xiao Fang, nuclear submarines are good, but the nuclear power system is too complicated."

"The reactor design alone is..."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Lu also frowned.

"Xiao Fang, your idea does make sense. The stealth of nuclear submarines is truly unmatched by other weapons."

"But the problem is, we haven't even fully mastered nuclear power technology yet. How can we possibly produce such advanced equipment in such a short period of time?"

"There are indeed many technical difficulties,"

Fang Yu nodded, his tone still full of confidence.

“But it’s not insurmountable.”

"Mr. Lu, think about it. We have made some breakthroughs in the research of mushroom bombs."

"By modifying existing basic theories and applying these technologies to submarines, solving the power problem is not a fantasy."

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Mr. Lu's eyes.

"But even if the power problem is solved, the submarine's pressure hull, missile launch system, and navigation control are all completely new areas."

"Do we have the ability to do this?"

"Yes." Fang Yu answered firmly, "We can break these problems down into sub-projects and tackle them step by step."

"For example, for the pressure hull, we can refer to the design of deep-sea probes and make it out of titanium alloy;"

"The missile launch system can be improved based on existing ballistic missiles;"

"As for navigation control, the satellite navigation system I mentioned earlier is tailor-made for this scenario."

Mr. Lu listened attentively and couldn't help but nodded.

"Xiao Fang, what you said does make sense."

"But even so, such a project is extremely expensive and may not be effective in a short period of time."

Fang Yu smiled slightly: "Boss Lu, this is exactly the strategic significance of nuclear submarines."

"It's not about short-term tactical victories, but about ensuring the security and deterrence of the Dragon Nation for decades to come."

"If we don't seize this opportunity and wait for the enemy to deploy underwater nuclear forces first, we will always be in a passive position."

After hearing this, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Mr. Lu lit a cigarette and let the smoke slowly rise in the air, while he fell into deep thought.

Fang Yu did not disturb him, but stood quietly in front of the map, waiting for his answer.

Finally, after a few minutes of silence, the voice on the other end of the phone rang again.

"Xiao Fang, since you've thought it through so thoroughly, I think you're definitely capable of achieving results!"

"Then I will entrust you with the important task of building the next generation of Dragon Country's Great Wall of Steel!"

“This is a big responsibility, but I believe you can handle it!”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Lu slowly stood up and spoke with excitement in his tone.

"I will go to the chief to discuss this matter now."

"We need to make sure everyone understands that this is not an ordinary military project, but a strategic decision that concerns the national defense and security of the Dragon Nation for decades to come."

“Whether it’s funding or talent, I will do my best to support you!”

Fang Yu nodded, with an expectation that was hard to conceal in his eyes.

He knew that once the plan was approved, Longguo's military industry development would enter a new stage.

"Mr. Lu," Fang Yu suddenly said, his voice solemn, "I have another request.

"You say." Mr. Lu looked at him.

"This project involves such a wide range of technical fields that I hope to break down the barriers between the various research institutes and form a cross-departmental joint R&D team."

“Let the best talents participate, without being bound by administrative levels or unit restrictions.”

Mr. Lu frowned slightly: "This request... is a bit difficult."

"You know, each research institute now has its own system and rules."

"But it's necessary." Fang Yu's voice was firm. "A nuclear submarine is not just a piece of mechanical equipment. It requires technological breakthroughs in nuclear power, materials, electronics, acoustics, and other fields."

"If we continue to follow the traditional model and work independently, it will be difficult to achieve real breakthroughs."

Mr. Lu fell into deep thought.

He understood that what Fang Yu said made sense.

Under the traditional scientific research system, there are indeed many barriers in various research institutes, which are not conducive to the advancement of major projects.

But breaking this situation will inevitably affect the interests of many people.

"Well," he finally decided, "I'll bring this up at the conference. If we're going to undertake a major project like a nuclear submarine, we must have corresponding institutional innovations."

"Don't worry, as long as it's for the national interest, I will help you overcome any obstacles, no matter how great they are."

Fang Yu smiled gratefully.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

Mr. Lu waved his hand.

"No need to thank me. I truly believe that you can lead Dragon Country's military technology to a leap forward."

"This is not only a trust in you, but also an expectation for the future of Dragon Country."

He checked his watch and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to go find the chief now. You should also go to bed early and get enough rest."

“Once a project is approved, work will begin immediately.”

Fang Yu nodded.

He knew that a major project that could change the fate of Dragon Country was about to be launched.

And he will become the soul of this project.

Immediately after Mr. Lu hung up the phone, he strode out of the office and walked quickly towards the chief's office.

Fang Yu sat back at his desk, looking at the densely packed design drawings on the table, with a determined light in his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen the scene of Dragon Country's nuclear submarine quietly sneaking in the deep sea.

It will be the new generation of the Great Wall of Steel of Dragon Country, guarding the safety and dignity of this ancient nation...
