Warship of Great Power

Chapter 1082: Too advanced to be displayed

Chapter 1082 is too advanced to be displayed

"Our country is surrounded by sea on three sides, with a coastline of more than 7,000 kilometers. There are important sea lanes, and there are also feuds. The construction of the navy is urgent." Senyavin looked at the people sitting below: "I think that only 10,000 tons Only large-scale warships can complete the task of guarding the maritime borders.”

Hearing his words, Akar, the director of the naval shipyard, frowned involuntarily. A 10,000-ton warship? One bite cannot make you fat. Do we have the strength?

"Yes, our navy only has light frigates imported from Germany in the 1980s. Although their performance was good at the beginning, they are now aging. We must have brand-new warships, and we have to build them ourselves to meet our needs! "A naval officer spoke.

 “Akar, what do you think?” Senyavin looked at Akar.

"Sorry, I think it is more appropriate for us to do it step by step. If we want to build it independently, it is best to start with a light frigate, for example, build a two-thousand-ton class first." Akar said.

 One bite cannot make you fat. With the capabilities of their navy, how can they build a 10,000-ton warship! Thinking of the failure of the Gorshkov, Akar knew that he must not rush in again and must take his time.

 Let’s build a two thousand ton one first!

 Senyavin frowned and thought.

 It is definitely unreliable to directly start building a 10,000-ton warship without any technical preparation. It seems that we can only do it slowly.

“Okay, let’s take our time and build a two-thousand-ton warship first. However, we must show the design drawings of a ten-thousand-ton destroyer and let the whole world know our capabilities!”

 Let’s brag first and then talk about it!

Among the several projects that followed suit, only the Americans really wanted to do it. The others were just joining in the fun. The British could still promote it in a decent way, but as for natives, it would be a complete joke.

 What can a native chicken do? Look at the Gorshkov aircraft carrier. It cost 7.5 million US dollars to buy it back. Then it bought spherical flat steel from the East. In order to improve it, it is said that the boiler was ordered from the East, but after the renovation, They gave up after a year. The interior was damaged by the explosion. The cost of renovation was higher than that of new construction. It was definitely not worth it.

  Tuji still wants to build a 10,000-ton warship? Let's honestly build a two thousand ton frigate first. Even if this is the case, we can't say that the local warship construction technology is advanced. After all, many of the systems above are purchased, and they are just building a shell. That’s all.

 There are those who follow the trend, and there are those who are disgusted.

Just the day after Dongfang’s 055 destroyer was launched, experts from the South Kimchi Country made sour comments.

"Now we have been able to confirm that Dongfang calls this kind of warship 055, which is a 10,000-ton cruiser. From the appearance point of view, this kind of warship is indeed beautiful in appearance, but it is just beautiful in appearance. What can it do with its appearance? It cannot be used as food. ." The expert talked in front of the TV cameras.

"We know that the displacement of the American Ticonderoga class and Burke class is within 10,000 tons, but the Orientals have built a warship over 10,000 tons. Why is this? Of course because their radar is not advanced enough! "

"The radar of the Aegis system can search more than 400 kilometers and can track hundreds of targets at the same time. The performance of Dongfang's radar is lagging behind and cannot reach this level. Therefore, in order to improve their performance, they can only increase the displacement. Increasing the radar area will allow the Aegis system’s detection capabilities to catch up with the Aegis system.”

This expert said eloquently: "Actually, there is no benefit in making warships bigger. When they get bigger, the noise will also increase. After their warships are put into service, the noise will reach a new level. How many times will our submarines It can be found hundreds of kilometers away that such a large warship is a living target on the sea. Moreover, given the strength of Dongfang, it is impossible to guarantee the normal operation of these devices. Moreover, are so many tablets all antennas? ?”

He felt very humorous about himself: "Perhaps this is the wrong hole made during the construction process of the warship, or it was deliberately left to confuse others. We all know that Dongfang likes to make mysteries. Maybe, starting from their 052C , the four-sided phased array radar installed on it is all bluffing. It contains the bricks that Easterners like to use most in fighting!"

"I think the combat effectiveness of this kind of warship is extremely average and cannot compare with the KDX-3 destroyer we are about to build. After all, this kind of destroyer uses the Aegis system imported from the United States. It is also the only one in the world that has actual combat experience. Aegis system! Eastern warships only have quantity, not quality at all.”

Looking at the eloquent talk of experts from the Southern Kimchi Country on TV, Zhang Zhong had a complicated expression. Is this guy out of his mind? Or am I suffering from nitrite poisoning due to eating too much kimchi?

"Mr. Qin, our 055 program is ready." Zhang Zhong and the people around him said, "When will it be broadcast?"

 Zhang Zhong personally participated in the launching ceremony of 055. After he came back, he planned to do this program, but was stopped. He could only wait. Unexpectedly, these clowns actually came out to sensationalize.

Our Eastern Aegis battleship is actually filled with bricks? Isn't this nonsense?

"Not yet." Qin Tao said: "The navy is still considering it. It probably feels that this warship is too advanced to be displayed in order to avoid being jealous of others."

"When it's time to show your sword, you have to show it. You can't hide it from anyone anyway. According to the news I got, several countries have started to build warships larger than ours." Zhang Zhong said: "Mr. Qin, We always develop in a low-key manner, and these people will look down upon others."

“They also want to build larger warships? OK, when they announce their plans, we will announce the construction progress of the 055.” Qin Tao said.

Of course Qin Tao knows that except for the United States, the plans of other countries are beautiful PPT plans. When they announce the plan, we will announce that 055 has been built. It’s a slap in the face. It’s fun to think about it.

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao looked at Zhang Zhong again: "What do you know?"

“For example, the British plan to build a Type 83 destroyer, with a starting displacement of 12,000 tons, 128 vertical launch units, and a dual-band radar.”

"How did you know?"

“It’s nothing. When I was wandering around on the Internet, I met a few people and got into an argument…”

 Zhang Zhong has also learned to fish!

 The process of fishing is also very simple. Zhang Zhong was browsing the Internet when he was bored, and then he saw a group of people discussing how powerful the Type 45 destroyer was. Zhang Zhong couldn't bear this.

The Type 45 warship is powerful, but isn’t it still a ball on its head? You don’t even have a four-sided phased array radar. How poor are you? Are you still saying you are powerful? Has the Queen-class aircraft carrier been built? Are there any carrier-based aircraft?

 You have nothing and you are still saying that you are strong?

 Zhang Zhong was so angry that he finally couldn't help it anymore: We have a Type 83 destroyer. Our destroyer is a global combat ship with the best performance in the world!

Yeah? You should talk about it.

So, the other party told all the parameters of the Type 83 destroyer.

“Zhang Zhong, you’re a big liar, you’ve gone too far.” Qin Tao laughed and teased: “But are you sure what the other person said is true? Or is it just random nonsense?”

“While I was having a verbal spat with them, I contacted Goose Factory and asked them to help determine the other party’s IP, which showed that it was the Weibo Shipyard, a subsidiary of the British BAE Company.”

Since people from the shipyard participated in the debate, there is nothing to say. The reliability should be very high, and it is also very similar to the project in Qin Tao's memory, so there should be no problem.

"Even if the British really have such a project, they are just talking about it." Qin Tao said: "Now they can't even build a Type 45 destroyer, let alone the more expensive Type 83 destroyer. This is a PPT project.”

The success of fishing is also because this kind of project is not a real project in the first place. It is estimated that the British just took it out to brag about it and asked them to build one to take a look. It turned out that it was more expensive than the Queen class, and they could still afford it. ?

"Well, I don't think they can afford it. When the 055 program can be broadcast in the future, I will comment on these projects that imitate our warships one by one, and then draw a conclusion for them. None of them can build it, because they No money!"

 When the time comes, you can severely humiliate these people, and you can still continue to be the prophet king, ten or twenty years later, you see, right? Our Zhang Zhong’s preliminary research is correct, they simply can’t make it!

 Qin Tao nodded, this is necessary! "Mr. Qin, I think our 055 is not domineering enough." Zhang Zhong brought up another topic: "Anyway, we have a cost advantage, so we might as well build it bigger. For example, the displacement can be enlarged to 15,000 tons, or even It is 17,000 tons and can carry more missiles, as well as laser weapons, electromagnetic guns, etc., making it a giant at sea. How domineering is this?"

"Yes, it will definitely be enlarged when it is remodeled in the future, but now, the Navy should not care about it." Qin Tao said: "When we were designing, there were also different displacement plans. Out of various considerations, the Navy finally decided The displacement is limited to the current 12,000 tons.”

Let us start this trend first, so that all countries will feel that it is too shabby to have a 10,000-ton cruiser. When they try to tighten their belts and increase the tonnage to 10,000 tons, they will find that the warships in the East are even bigger. See how they catch up!

"Although our current displacement exceeds 10,000 tons, we only have 112 launch tubes, which seems to be still not enough. Especially in the future, we will need to mix some anti-missile interceptors, and the rest will not be enough." Zhang Zhong Feeling: "It would be great if it could be expanded to more than 150!"

The construction of the 0.55 million-ton large-scale drive energy has started. One of the important reasons is the mid-stage anti-missile!

The Americans want to engage in NMD and TMD. It is useless for us to protest, so we can only engage in CNMD and CTMD. We must have what others have! Sea-based mid-course anti-missile is the most suitable solution, and the key is the 055 warship.

The West can install more launch units with the same displacement, mainly because their vertical launchers are small in size. We all have large-sized launch units. Of course, the number is not large, but if small missiles are crammed in, they can be crammed in. There are definitely a lot of them.

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over and said, "Mr. Qin, there is news from Leader Wu, inviting you to watch a target shooting test."

 “What shooting?” Qin Tao disagreed.

 “Red Flag Nineteen.”

"What?" Qin Tao stood up immediately: "Then what are you waiting for? I'll go right away!"

Zhang Zhong looked at Qin Tao longingly, his meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wants to go too!

“Has Leader Wu invited the bureau to sit down?” Qin Tao asked.

"No."

“Boss, just wait a little longer. There will definitely be a chance in the future.”

This kind of project is of great importance, and only a few people can go and watch it on site.

 Qin Tao was very excited. After seeing Wu Shengli at the airport, he couldn't wait. However, looking at the people around him, he still suppressed his excitement and didn't ask until he got on the plane.

“Dad, why is it so fast? I remember the last time I went to observe, they said that it would take five years to achieve a breakthrough, and it is still far away from getting on the ship. Our warship has just been launched, and the missile is about to be tested?”

The last time was two thousand years ago. At that time, Qin Tao went to an aerospace institute to see the progress of related systems. At that time, he heard from the research and development personnel that the most critical warhead of the kinetic energy interceptor would take at least five years to complete the development, so he I didn’t pay attention anymore. It’s only been four years now. Not only has the warhead been developed, but the first experiment has to be carried out!

Isn’t this progress too fast?

"Well, the technology made a breakthrough last year and a series of tests were carried out. Now the time is finally ripe to carry out the first experiment." Wu Shengli said: "And more importantly, the weight of the interceptor missile is heavier than originally planned. It has been reduced by one-third, and the performance of high-energy propellant is stronger, which increases the shutdown speed of the interceptor by 30%, and the maximum launch height is increased to 500 kilometers."

“Really? This is a big improvement compared to the previous indicator!”

Mid-course anti-missile interception is to intercept ballistic missiles in the middle range of their flight. This is the most suitable interception method, but at the same time, it also means that the flying height of the target is very high. If it is a medium- and long-range missile, the flying height is 120 kilometers. To 500 kilometers, if it is an intercontinental missile, the flight altitude will even exceed 1,000 kilometers.

Although the ultimate goal of development is to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles, now, it is already very good to be able to intercept medium and long-range missiles. The maximum shooting height is 500 kilometers, which is quite incredible!

After all, the Block 1 missile of the American Standard 3 missile has a shutdown speed of up to 3.3 kilometers per second and a maximum interception altitude of only 160 kilometers. The improved Block 2 has a shutdown speed of 5.5 kilometers per second and an interception altitude of only 500 kilometers. .

Our first experiment with anti-missile interceptor missiles, the performance of Hongqi-19 has been improved to the level of Block 2 of Standard 3, which is already very strong. When the Hongqi-26 is developed in the future, it will have no problem shooting up to a thousand meters!

Qin Tao's eyes were full of energy: "Now, we not only have spears, but also shields. By the way, what is the target of this interceptor missile?"

 The interceptor is Red Flag Nineteen, where is the target?

Wu Shengli pointed to the sky: "A scrapped satellite."

 Just knock down the satellite above your head! This also saves a target missile! However, this is not only to save money, but also to reduce difficulty. After all, even if it is a scrapped satellite, the orbit is known, and if it is a ballistic missile, it must calculate various orbit data of the target in a short time , determine the interception parameters.

But it’s the first time, it would be great to be able to knock down the satellite!

“Is it because we don’t have a long-range early warning radar?” Qin Tao suddenly thought of something else.

In the 1960s and 1970s, as the anti-missile project was launched, the country also built a lot of large-scale equipment, including the 7010, a large-scale ground radar, which was placed on a hillside and could monitor thousands of kilometers and search for targets in advance. .

However, after all, that technology has fallen behind and has been eliminated long ago. Now if anti-missile interception is to be carried out, advanced radar systems are also needed.

If it is 055, it is natural to use its own radar equipment, but to conduct anti-missile experiments on land, more professional land-based radars are needed. In later generations, China will also have large-scale P-band long-range early warning phased arrays like Pave Paw. Radar, but those are things for the future.

 I don’t know if it is available in China now?

“Yes, not yet. The relevant departments are conducting demonstrations. It is estimated that it will only happen in the next few years.” Wu Shengli said.

The base for the anti-missile test is in the northwest of the country, which belongs to the desert Gobi Desert. The climate is constantly changing and is almost unfavorable for human survival. However, generations of officers and soldiers at the shooting range have been silently contributing to the development of the motherland.

This time, they received new equipment.

Several five-axle off-road vehicles were parked at the base. They were all painted in yellow and green camouflage, which was very similar to the color of the vegetation here. One of the five-axle off-road vehicles had two huge round tubes on the back, nine in length. Meters, 850 mm in diameter, looks thick and long.

What's this?

 It is not a ballistic missile, which is too small compared to ballistic missiles, nor is it an ordinary anti-aircraft missile, which is too large compared to anti-aircraft missiles.

 The base officers and soldiers don’t know what it is, but they know their mission, protect this place and keep the secret at the same time!

There is also a five-axle vehicle that has unfolded a large board. This board is tall and wide. It looks like a radar, but it does not rotate. It just stands quietly facing the western sky.

The wind and sand in the Gobi are very strong, blowing on its flat surface, making a whining sound.

 Another five-axle vehicle had a spacious carriage. At this time, everyone was staring at the screen in front of them and discussing excitedly.

“We have already tested the data of the third circle, and there is no problem at all. When it flies over in the fourth circle an hour and a half later, we will launch interceptor missiles!”

 “Yes, this time it will definitely be a complete success!”

"Why haven't the leaders come yet? If they don't come again, we will shoot them down and give them the good news!"

 At this moment, a voice sounded outside.

“The wind and sand here are so strong! Are our missiles cold-launched or hot-launched? Will they be blown sideways when they take off?”

This voice is very familiar. Is it Mr. Qin?
