Because, this is the world of the strong!

In this assistance, the mainland also urgently provided cement pump trucks worth millions of dollars free of charge. This kind of cement pump truck is more advanced than the German-made pump trucks known for their precision industry. When it was used, it was the equipment from the mainland that stood at the first stop of the rescue and made great contributions.

The cement pump truck is actually a truck loaded with cement pumps.

Cement concrete is the main raw material for construction. When manufacturing high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete is the most suitable structure. After all the steel structures are tied, the concrete will be poured. However, how to accurately pour the concrete into the place where it needs to be cast , but it is a stress.

Workers can push the cart and pour it in, but the progress is too slow, but this is also the main construction method now.

The advanced method is to use a cement pump to directly pressurize the mixed cement to the required height. There is a large pressure pump under the cement pump truck, and then there is a pipe tens of meters long that can rotate. , telescopic, so that the required height and position can be obtained for casting.

This kind of technology is the most advanced in Germany. Therefore, Qusay spent a lot of money to import the most advanced cement pump truck from Mercedes-Benz, with a pipeline nearly 30 meters long, and then use Iraq to refit it on the Steyr chassis. With these modern construction tools, it is also one of the reasons why the current nuclear power plant can be built quickly.

However, Kusai spent a lot of money to import this kind of cement pump truck for his own purpose. When dealing with nuclear power plant accidents, the most common way is to make a large cement coffin to seal the entire nuclear power plant. The original Chernobyl nuclear power plant did this, but it was cast entirely by hand.

Therefore, the import of these cement pump trucks is now to contribute to the construction of Iraq, and then when it is needed, it will be quickly aided to the Soviet Union, connected to the mixer trucks made by Iraq, and helped the Soviet Union quickly deal with the nuclear accident.

In particular, these vehicles can be operated by remote control. The operators wear protective clothing and operate remotely from a distance, which can minimize the damage to the body.

In addition to these, Iraq also built a redundant factory building next to its own nuclear power plant. Inside this factory building, a steel pressure vessel was made according to the size of the nuclear reactor, and there was a lead-made radiation-absorbing lining inside. In the event of a nuclear leak, the pressure vessel can be hoisted to the outside of the reactor as a whole to wrap the entire reactor. At the same time, there are several channels on it, so that water can be injected into it to cool down at the right time.

These are all preparations made by Qusay in advance. Of course, they are also for Iraq itself just in case.

After the ceremony, the people dispersed.

Qusay looked at the No. [-] unit that was under construction outside, and saw the Soviet ambassador to Iraq coming to his side, and said: "President Qusay, our general secretary has extended an invitation to you, and I hope you can give us an invitation at the right time." A visit from the Soviet Union to enhance our mutual friendship."

Visiting the USSR?To enhance the friendship between each other?Qusay recalled the only few warships in the Iraqi Navy to support the facade, and said: "Since Secretary Gorbachev came to power, I have always wanted to have a face-to-face communication with him, but there is no chance. I will arrange to have a meeting with him in the near future. The general secretary of your country will have a meeting, thank you for your invitation."

In the recent series of actions in Iraq, there is a sense that it is grabbing the territory of the Soviets. For example, Libya, such as Syria, these countries in the traditional Soviet sphere of influence, have begun to get close to Iraq. Fortunately, the one who is now in power is Gorbachev, if he was still the domineering Brerenev, Iraq would immediately become the Soviet Union's opponent. It would be a very serious crime to dare to poach the corner of the Soviet Union.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union did not respond. Qusay did not believe it. This was only because of the meager personal relationship between him and Gorbachev. The main thing was Gorbachev's own considerations. The Soviet military power is now Only by shrinking across the board can we save funds and save the Soviet Union's economy.

And Qusay, from Iraq's point of view, absolutely does not want the Soviet Union to collapse quickly. If he can help the Soviet Union and delay the disintegration, it will give Iraq more time to prepare. Therefore, Qusay is also considering, although Iraq does not want to It will invest huge sums of money to help the Soviet Union save its already terminally ill economy, but it is still a good choice to achieve a win-win situation with the Soviet Union when it is in the interests of Iraq.

Therefore, Qusay is also looking forward to a visit with the Soviet Union.

Chapter 868 Oscar 2 Nuclear Submarine

Pacific Ocean, ten nautical miles east of Vladivostok.

A huge black monster, like a ghost, with the head at the front end, pushing through the tumbling sea water, like a big shark.

On the bridge in the middle, a flag with a sickle and an ax is still flying.The small white characters of K-132 on the side are almost invisible in the dark.

The 40-year-old captain, Colonel Yezhov above the bridge, breathed the smell of the cold sea breeze contentedly, and they were going to dive soon.

"Boys, pay attention. After 2 minutes, we are ready to dive." Colonel Yezhov said.

Hearing this order, the young Soviet submariners began preparations.

Before carrying out this mission, Ye Ruofu once asked a soldier: "We are about to conduct a combat readiness cruise, and we may not be able to float up after being underwater for more than a month. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, because, apart from work, I can go to the gym to exercise, and I can also go to the swimming room to swim. Our submarine will not have a problem even if it doesn't surface for three months!"

They are proud, because the submarine under their feet is the largest nuclear submarine in the Soviet Union except the Typhoon class, the 949A class nuclear submarine, and the number given to it by NATO is called the Oscar 2 class nuclear submarine.

This nuclear submarine is a unique Soviet submarine.In Western countries, there are only two types of attack nuclear submarines and missile nuclear submarines. The missile nuclear submarines carry long-range ballistic missiles and undertake the second counterattack mission after being nuclear-attacked. To undertake the task of underwater protection and prevent the attack of enemy submarines.

However, the Soviet Union did not have a strong aircraft carrier force, and used missiles as the main weapon to attack the opponent's warships, especially the opponent's aircraft carrier formation. The Soviet Union developed multiple types of supersonic anti-ship missiles and used saturation attacks to attack the opponent's aircraft carrier.

As for carrying supersonic anti-ship missile carriers, in addition to warships and aircraft, there is another kind, which is nuclear submarines!

The use of nuclear submarines has many advantages. The biggest advantage is that nuclear submarines sail underwater and are relatively concealed. After launching all the anti-ship missiles carried by himself, he can still escape under the cover of sea water after launching, which has a very huge tactical surprise.

Therefore, among the submarines equipped by the Soviet Union, there is a special cruise missile attack nuclear submarine, and the latest model developed by this nuclear submarine is also the fourth generation cruise missile attack nuclear submarine of the Soviet Union, which is the 949A class nuclear submarine under Yezhov's feet. It is the second nuclear submarine of this class, the first deployed in the Northern Fleet.

This kind of nuclear submarine has a total length of 150 meters and an underwater displacement of up to 24 tons. It adopts a typical double-hull structure, all made of titanium alloy, and the cost is high.Between the inner and outer shells, at a distance of four meters, there are 700 P-19 granite anti-ship missiles, NATO codenamed SS-N-[-].

The double hull is a common design for Soviet submarines. Submarines in Western countries have a layer of steel plates on the outside and various equipment installed inside. In this case, there will be a disadvantage. When the shell hits something and the shell is damaged, then , the entire submarine will face the danger of sinking.

For Western countries, this is understandable, but for the Soviet Union, it is different, because most of the Soviet submarines are active in high latitude areas. Not sea water, but a thick layer of ice, they need to use their own shells to break out of the ice.

Therefore, the Soviet submarine has another shell on the outside of the single shell. Between, in addition to equipment, is sea water.Another advantage of this is that it has strong resistance to blows.

When hit by a torpedo, it will cause damage to the outer non-pressure hull, but if the torpedo is not powerful enough, it will not damage the inner pressure hull, and the submarine can still carry out various normal activities, especially , the Oscar 2-class nuclear submarine (still called Oscar Shunkou), the distance between the two layers has reached four meters, which means that the existing anti-submarine torpedoes in the United States are all tickling for it.

However, as long as one of the granite carried by Oscar's level 2 is hit, even an aircraft carrier will definitely not be able to hold it.Moreover, even if the 24 missiles are launched twice, they will successfully break through the air defense circle of the US aircraft carrier and successfully kill the opponent.

Strike against the US aircraft carrier, this is the mission of Oscar 2!

In addition to anti-ship missiles, the Oscar 2 class also has various advanced torpedoes, even if it encounters the American Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, it can handle it for a while.

If we talk about the disadvantages of the double hull, I am afraid that it has caused the increase in volume and displacement. The main force of the United States, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, has an underwater displacement of only 2 tons, which is less than half of the Oscar [-] class.

A large displacement requires a larger nuclear reactor, a larger steam turbine and generator, and a larger propeller, which, along with it, is a huge noise.

A nuclear submarine can become a hidden killer underwater because it cannot be seen, but the noise will reveal its identity.

Therefore, this is also a major aspect of the improvement from the Oscar class to the Oscar 2 class. All vibration equipment is installed on the shock-absorbing base, and sound-absorbing tiles are laid on the outside of the hull. The main source of noise is the propeller.

Among all the noise sources of the submarine, the noise of the propeller is the largest. When the propeller stirs the seawater and provides power, it also makes a lot of noise. However, if the propeller with a special shape is used, the flow of the seawater and The rotation of the propellers is combined to minimize the noise, and this special shape of the propeller is very troublesome to process, and requires a very high precision. These can only be done by multi-axis linkage large-scale CNC machine tools arrive.

And now, the great Soviet Union can finally process this kind of large seven-blade large side-rotating propeller. Compared with the original propeller, the noise is an order of magnitude lower, and it is even comparable to the Los Angeles class.

Last year, the Soviet Union began to install this type of propeller on newly built warships to increase power and reduce noise.

After the submarine is equipped with troops, it will join the combat readiness duty and arrange the cruise mission. Now, it is finally the turn of K-132.

Following the captain's order, all personnel began to prepare, and the personnel on the bridge began to enter the interior of the submarine. The last crew member who went down closed the hatch.

The entire submarine has become a world insulated from the outside world.

"Ballast tank filling."

This huge submarine requires more than 100 officers and sailors to operate. Although it is because of the huge size of the ship, it is also related to the backward operating system that has not achieved more automation.

As the valve was opened, seawater poured into the main ballast tanks at the front and rear, and the huge hull, like a ghost, slowly sank into the dark water.

"Balance the hull and check the sealing of each part."

As a submarine soldier, the dangers encountered are great, and even a small problem may lead to catastrophic consequences.

Therefore, strict operations are necessary. After the dive is completed, the condition of each part needs to be checked, especially for this submarine that is on a long-distance voyage for the first time.

After receiving normal reports from various parts, Colonel Yezhov issued a second order: "Two cars, move forward three."

Following his order, the two several-ton seven-blade large side-spinning propellers at the tail began to stir the sea water at a faster speed, and the entire underwater monster began to accelerate forward.
