Chapter 42 Meeting Director Song
Fan Wubing understood his father's reaction very well. If he hadn't really known about cavitation weapons, he wouldn't have believed that torpedoes could travel at a speed of 250 knots in the water.
However, when the blizzard torpedo exhibition was held in later generations, Fan Wubing clearly understood that the speed of 250 knots was not the upper limit of the blizzard torpedo speed. Raised to a very scary level.
Because of his background in a military enterprise, Fan Wubing is quite familiar with torpedoes, a naval warfare weapon. In his early years, he helped his father draw partial drawings, so he had a more detailed understanding of the structure of Blizzard torpedoes, but he never thought that he would be reborn After acquisition, these things may become priceless treasures.
If China manufactures the cavitation weapon blizzard torpedo more than 20 years ahead of schedule, how much will this improve the combat effectiveness of the Chinese navy? Thinking about it, Fan Wubing thought it was very impressive, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Naturally, Fan Heng didn't believe it, but Fan Wubing had a large set of theories for him to listen to. When his son explained the phenomenon of cavitation to him in detail and explained the working principle of the blizzard torpedo, Fan Heng suddenly I think this thing, it seems, is very interesting.
So the next morning at the new weapon seminar organized by Tongfeng Company, Fan Heng was missing. Demonstrate whether this possibility exists.
It's a pity that the theory of this fact is too strong. With Fan Heng's knowledge level, he is just a senior technical talent, not a theoretical expert, so he didn't research a clue until the afternoon.
Everyone in Tongfeng Company felt very strange. Why was the leader of the Pingyuan Machinery Factory, who is most familiar with torpedo weapons, not present at the seminar on new torpedoes? name, and wished to have him brought in for an explanation.
The contact person of Tongfeng Company quickly found Fan Heng who was immersed in research in the guest room, and brought him to the seminar site.
"Comrade Fan Heng, I would like to know the reason why you were absent from the meeting." Director Zhang, the comrade in charge of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, pointed the table with a pencil, and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Director Zhang, I was demonstrating the feasibility of a new type of torpedo, that's why I didn't participate in the seminar." Fan Heng studied the theory of sky chemical weapons all day, and he was a little dizzy at this time, so he replied immediately .
"Aren't we just researching a new type of torpedo now? Does Comrade Fan think that he can make a new mine by himself?" Some comrades in the brother unit expressed their dissatisfaction.
When Fan Heng heard this, he immediately realized that nowadays, he still doesn’t emphasize individual heroism, but pays attention to the collective wisdom of the people. No matter how great a contribution you make personally, it is due to the group, to the The leader, thanks to the land of China that gave birth to you and raised you, hides in the room and eats alone, which is obviously very easy to arouse public outrage.
So Fan Heng explained, "It's not about electric torpedoes, but a super torpedo weapon based on a new theory. Because there is only a preliminary idea now, it has not been demonstrated at the seminar."
After all, Director Zhang came from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. When he heard that Fan Heng might have a new idea, he immediately became interested, and asked Fan Heng, "What is the idea, why don't you tell me?"
Fan Heng replied with some embarrassment, "This thing is very different from the traditional torpedo we have studied. I am afraid it is not suitable for discussion in public. I am planning to report it to the Ministry and invite relevant experts to conduct demonstrations."
"I can't watch it either?" Director Zhang asked a little unhappy.
"It's best not to look at it!" Fan Heng saw Director Zhang's face stretched, and couldn't help wiping off his sweat, thinking that what Fan Wubing said was really good, because of this matter, I'm afraid he will offend a large number of people.
However, the matter is too big to be sloppy, so I said to Director Zhang, "This thing has to be delivered directly to the minister or Director Song, and relevant experts should be invited to discuss it. Please forgive me, Director Zhang."
Director Zhang is naturally very unhappy, but he has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he will not say anything inappropriate, so he nodded and replied, "In that case, then I will not make things difficult for you, but I can do things for you." You hand it over to Director Song, who is currently inspecting work in Guangzhou, if you think your research is really that important, even more important than the electric torpedo we are collectively researching, then I can accompany you to meet him."
"Director Song is in Guangzhou now?" Fan Heng was very surprised.
As the director of the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee, Mr. Song is not only a high-level leader, but also an expert in multiple disciplines. If you can let him care about the issue of cavitation weapons, it is obviously better than submitting a report and asking experts to discuss it. More, and its confidentiality is also much higher.
"Director Zhang, can you go now?" Fan Heng felt that it would be best to see Director Song right away.
Seeing Fan Heng's eagerness, Director Zhang packed up a lot of teasing and running on his mind, wondering in his heart, did Fan Heng really have some brilliant ideas? Immediately, he stopped talking, and directly ordered the guards to drive, and took Fan Heng to the provincial defense science and industry office.
Under Director Zhang's guidance, Fan Heng met Director Song of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense after passing through several gates.
"Xiao Zhang, aren't you guys working on a new type of electric torpedo? Are you so anxious to see me, what's the matter?" Director Song had a lot of work on his hands. When the two of them entered, he was still reviewing documents with his eyes on, listening After hearing their footsteps coming in, Director Song raised his head and asked in surprise.
"Director, Comrade Fan Heng from Pingyuan Factory has a design sketch of a new torpedo in his hand. I hope to give it to the director and invite relevant experts to conduct feasibility studies. I brought him here." Director Zhang replied .
"Since it's a new type of torpedo, it can be discussed at the seminar. Why did you show it to me? I'm not an expert in military industry—" Director Song felt a little strange, and said with a smile. He looked at Fan Heng and felt a little With a familiar face, he patted his head and smiled, "By the way, you are the little Fan who is engaged in the assembly of torpedoes. I met you when I inspected your factory. Why, now you have switched to design?"
"Hello, Director Song, I think this design has a great possibility of success, and it completely subverts the traditional torpedo technology we are using now. It's very important, and I have to disturb you, Director Song." Fan Heng didn't expect Director Song to return Remembering myself, I was a little emotional at once, and then I handed the document containing the design sketch of the Blizzard torpedo to Director Song.
Director Song nodded, put on his glasses and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Is this your own idea? I think it is very feasible, but it needs to be proved by experts. What do you think?" What is the designed speed of this Blizzard torpedo?"
Hearing Director Song's affirmation, Fan Heng immediately felt extremely relaxed, so he replied casually, "Two hundred and fifty knots, at least!"
