Chapter 125 - Breakthrough After Breakthrough!

As the numbers were all normal.

The work of diving began gradually.

“Diving depth 100 meters, water pressure 1,0 bar, water temperature 22.”

“The shell structure is all normal.”

“Diving depth 300 meters, water pressure 2,0 bar, water temperature 19.”

“The shell structure is all normal.”

The staff kept reporting the various data. As a few voices were heard, the nervousness in everyone’s hearts did not disappear. Instead, they became even more nervous!

The Q-Series second-generation nuclear submarine’s diving depth target was 500 meters.

They had already dived to 300 meters, but the recorded 200 meters was the main event.

It was also the key factor to determine whether the new titanium alloy composite material could really be used!

Raymond’s palms were full of sweat as he stared at the screen. His heart was beating violently. If he succeeded, this would be the most important step for the U.S. nuclear submarine technology to reach the top of the world!

“Diving depth 450 meters, water pressure 4,0 bar, water temperature 15.”

“The structure of the shell has changed! There’s a water leak in zone one, there’s a water leak in zone two!”

The staff member immediately said.

Ka!

Ka!

On the big screen, the sound of steel violently shaking could be heard.

As soon as these words were said, Professor Raymond, Professor Thorpe, and Professor Hoppes’ expressions became excited.

At a depth of 450 meters, only a water leak had occurred on the nuclear submarine. This was already a big step forward in the technology of the American nuclear submarine!

The Q-Series was a double-deck design structure. It was cumbersome and the power system was also affected. It had high protection, but it could only dive to 500 meters at most.

This time, the single-deck structure only had a water leak after diving to 450 meters. It was a huge improvement!

“Continue to dive!” At this moment, Raymond continued to give orders.

“Yes!”

At this moment, everyone in the command center held their breaths and kept staring at the various data on the screen.

Soon, the Q-Series second-generation nuclear submarine’s diving depth became deeper and deeper, and the changes in the data became more and more intense!

“Diving depth 460 meters!”

“Diving depth 470 meters, diving depth 480 meters…”

The staff reported the situation every 10 meters.

Raymond and the others were also a little nervous.

Almost there, there were still 20 meters left, only 20 meters left!

As long as they continued to dive 20 meters, they could reach the depth of 500 meters.

Although the Q-Series second-generation nuclear submarines did not have any cases of tax evasion, it was still aggravating, or perhaps it was not enough to reach a dangerous level.

Then today’s water test was a success!

In the eyes of the people in the command center, they could see a touch of excitement.

The diving depth had already reached 480 meters!

This proved that Raymond and Professor Thorpe’s experiment was considered a success!

This record completely broke the previous record of everyone in the United States diving depth.

Moreover, this time it was a single-layer design. This meant that the new titanium alloy composite material had made great progress, and the remaining 20 meters would be the next step.

Would the new titanium alloy composite material give them a bigger surprise.

They would charge at the big target of 500 meters!

At the same time, the 20 meters was full of danger. If anything happened, it would cause serious consequences.

However, this time, they had used unmanned pilotless technology, so they didn’t need to worry about the safety of the people.

At this moment, there were too many things that were decided by the 20 meters!

The depth of the dive was still increasing. At this time, if they did not dive one meter, the people in the command center would be even more nervous.

This was because they did not know if the Q-Series second-generation nuclear submarine would be able to successfully complete this test.

Even Professor Raymond Thorpe was not very confident.

After all, this is the first test.

Beep, beep, beep!

At this time, the command center sounded a rapid alarm sound.

“Diving depth 491 meters, water pressure 5,0 bar, water temperature 13!”

“The structure of the shell has changed dramatically. Areas one, two, and four are leaking!”

The panicky voice of the staff rang out.

Kacha!

Kacha!

Kacha!

The sound coming from the big screen became louder and more ear-piercing.

As soon as these words were said, the hearts of everyone in the command center tightened. They stood up in unison and looked at the big screen with solemn expressions.

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Raymond and Professor Thorpe.

Nine meters!

Only nine meters away from the 500-meter barrier!

Could it be that there would be a mistake at this time?

“Diving depth 495 meters, water pressure 5,1 bar, water temperature 13.”

“The shell structure has undergone a huge change. The water leakage in various areas is serious. The shell structure has reached its limit of pressure resistance. It can no longer withstand the underwater pressure!”

Boom! A loud sound, as if it was going to shatter everything, came from the big screen.

Immediately after, the interior of the nuclear submarine on the big screen suddenly shrank. The various instruments inside all shrank along with the rapid reduction of the air pressure, turning into pieces.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

In an instant, those pieces were strongly stimulated again, as if they were all going to spread out.

Then, a huge ball of flame dissatisfied the entire big screen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then, the screen went black, and nothing could be seen inside the nuclear submarine.

…

Time flew by. Fifteen days later, time flew by.

At ten o’clock in the morning.

In the research institute, scientists gathered in the laboratory of the new titanium alloy composite material.

The other projects had been successfully completed under the leadership of Raymond. Only the water test was left.

Only the new titanium alloy composite had not been completed.

The new titanium alloy composite was the most crucial scientific research project of the whole project.

After the last water test, the warning of the underwater explosion of the second generation of the Q-Series nuclear submarine.

Raymond and Professor Thorpe were particularly interested in the quality of the new titanium alloy composite.

It was a very difficult scientific research problem to be able to withstand the underwater pressure and allow the nuclear submarine to break through the 500-meter depth barrier without any abnormalities in the shell structure.

The other projects were nearing the end, so Raymond could relax a little.

Therefore, during these ten days, Raymond basically put his focus on the development of the new titanium alloy composite material.

During these ten days, Raymond and Professor Thorpe were the last to leave work every day. The two of them often discussed a difficult problem and could stay up all night to discuss it. Then, they came up with the research direction and continued the experiment.

Finally, today, more than ten days later.

The development of the new titanium alloy composite had also come to an end!
