The official Weibo of the Chinese Navy released a video of a visit to the interior of a “new submarine” on August 22, Beijing time. The largest room of the submarine is a multi-functional room, which serves as a meeting room, a dining room, a dormitory for crew members to rest, and an emergency operation room. According to the pictures, this new submarine should be an improved version of the Type 039B AIP-powered submarine.
Among them, the cabin leader of the 2205 crew, Lu Genyuan, said that it is difficult to feel the light changes in the outside world when the submarine is sailing for a long time, so a scenario lighting is also set up inside to simulate the light changes in various time periods throughout the day.
In the second module of the submarine’s command cabin, when the submarine is submerged in the deep ocean, all information is to be summarized and analyzed here, and all combat orders are issued from here, which is equivalent to the brain of the submarine.
According to the report, a submarine has four seasons, referring to the various compartments of a submarine, and its temperature difference is big.
