Chapter 72 From now on, I can go wherever the enemy goes!
Above the sea, 052B breaks through the wind and waves.
Zhou Qinglei stood in the main control room, looking at the endless sea. After the initial excitement, he felt a mixture of emotions at this moment.
Everything has changed, and he doesn’t know whether he should say: God, you finally opened your eyes!
Looking back at the past, I feel a lot of grievances and frustrations because the navy does not have powerful warships.
Being a navy means keeping the enemy at bay.
It used to be bitter, it used to be sad, I couldn't fight against a warship, I could only fight with the enemy to the death with courage and belief.
But the day 956E arrived, for naval officers and soldiers like Zhou Qinglei, it was extremely despairing.
Because they discovered that times have changed! It gets so fast!
More than ten years ago, it was possible to defeat enemy ships with a determination to die.
But it has only been a dozen years, and the gap between our own and Western warships has become so large that even the belief in death cannot make up for it.
The gap in technology iteration is hopelessly large.
The enemy looks down upon you, and your own people still ridicule you. No matter how strong-willed a man is, he cannot bear this grievance.
Bearing the humiliation and keeping a low profile, who knows when these dark days will end.
But fortunately, everything got through.
Now, our own warships have also caught up in the field of technology iteration!
Now it has surpassed the 956E. In the future, it is not impossible to surpass the Toyo 88 Fleet, surpass the Mao Bear Country, and even catch up with the Beautiful Country.
Kou can go and I can go, it is no longer a dream.
All the suffering and all the grievances are worth it.
Hu——
Zhou Qinglei exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to spit out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Bang——
Bang——
He patted the main console, listening to the dull metal sound, with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if The most beautiful voice in the world.
Su Dingping was about to speak when he noticed Zhou Qinglei's behavior and swallowed it back immediately.
In his previous life, he burst into tears while watching the situation on TV. He could understand it, but it was difficult for him to truly empathize with it. No matter who sees their own aircraft carrier fleet or sees 055 going out for a tour and the world is quiet, they will ask: Were we really so miserable before?
But during this time, he deeply felt the pressure that permeated the surroundings and never dissipated for a moment.
A man doesn’t shed tears lightly, but it’s just not the time to feel sad.
He knew that Zhou Qinglei was using this method to say goodbye to the past and those sad years.
Turning to look at Sun Yongguo, Su Dingping nodded.
Several people quickly followed Su Dingping and quietly walked out.
"Dean, how are you?"
Sun Yongguo said quickly: "I have checked it all, there is nothing wrong."
"That's good." Su Dingping reassured .
There is no need to waste time adjusting details, you can focus on the next improvements.
052C, he already has a clear direction and ideas, and now he can start after conquering some core technologies.
After the improved 052C, Su Dingping has full confidence in pursuing the King Kong-level guide.
Deng Deng——
There was a sound of footsteps behind several people.
"Dingping, Dean Sun, Dean Lu...why did you come out?" Zhou Qinglei asked.
Su Dingping explained: "Come out and enjoy the air."
"Yes." Sun Yongguo took over and said: "I was almost suffocated in the base a while ago. It is rare to have the opportunity to come out and enjoy the air."
Lv Guangjun also said.
"Let me just say it's spring. The sea breeze is a little warm."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and no one mentioned what happened just now.
After a pause, Su Dingping said: "How about Captain Zhou, are you satisfied with this 052B?"
"Hehe."
Zhou Qinglei grinned and said: "Satisfied, So satisfied!”
“Just satisfied.”
Zhou Qinglei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I never thought in my life that one day I would be able to command such an advanced warship! I never dreamed of it!"
"Just get used to it." Su Dingping said casually. : "There will be more advanced warships waiting for you in the future!"
"Huh! Huh?"
As soon as he finished answering, Zhou Qinglei was stunned.
Is there any warship more advanced than this?
No way, isn't this just a successful reform?
Sun Yongguo couldn't wait to say: "Dingping, what's a more advanced warship? Why don't I know anything?"
Lv Guangjun and others also looked confused.
In the past two months, I haven’t heard any news.
“The idea of Plan C is already there, but it still takes a little time to implement it.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qinglei's eyes almost popped out of his head.
I am Cao!
052B is already so powerful, surpassing 956E! Now even Plan C has come out. Damn it, how powerful is that?
Zhou Qinglei was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what warship to use for comparison.
The beautiful country warship is too far away, and the King Kong-class guide driver has not been exposed to it, so it is impossible to measure its true combat power. At the moment, the only thing he can bring out for comparison is the optimized 956E.
But now 052B has surpassed 956E, and he can't find a reference for 052C.
Stronger than 052B, it is difficult for him to have an intuitive feeling.
Sun Yongguo and Lu Guangjun were immediately numb, and they no longer even thought about asking.
We obviously stay together and only sleep in the same room. Why haven’t we even figured out 052B yet and you have already started preparing for 052C?
A few people felt miserable and turned away helplessly. They couldn't figure it out, they couldn't figure it out at all.
"Then..."
"Then what?"
Zhou Qinglei asked: "When will the 052B be mass-produced?"
As soon as they heard this question, Sun Yongguo and others The man turned his head to look at Su Dingping again.
If such an advanced warship can be mass-produced as soon as possible, it will definitely improve the naval combat level unprecedentedly.
"Ah? Mass production? Why mass production?"
Su Dingping was confused, is 052B worth mass production? He felt it wasn't worth it.
“No…”
Zhou Qinglei was anxious.
“The 052B is so powerful that it surpasses the 956E. It would be a pity if this is not mass-produced. By then, all three major fleets will be replaced by the 052B. Then our navy will be so majestic.”
"The Eighth-Eighth Fleet is here, and we can fight with it! It's still unclear who will win!"
Su Dingping shook his head repeatedly.
"There is no need for mass production. In my idea, it is only for transitional use. There is no need to waste too much time and military expenditure on it."
After a pause, he continued added.
“It’s not worth mass production.”
At this time, Zhou Qinglei and others were completely speechless.
One sentence is not worthy of mass production, blocking thousands of words.
"It's getting late, go back quickly. Don't miss tomorrow's training." Su Dingping urged.
“Yes, yes, yes. Look at my memory, I have forgotten important things!”
……
At the same time, the North Sea Fleet Command.
While Zhou Qinglei and others were going to sea to prepare for the test, Xu Dongguo was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Leave for Guangdong immediately.
Tomorrow's training will be held at the Navy's southern maritime military base, which is where Qian Wenbing is located.
The heads of the three major fleets will have a meeting together in the afternoon to discuss the current situation, including the Varyag aircraft carrier.
He originally had a lot of worries, but now he didn't know anything about 052, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
Although he had long decided to use 051C to participate in military training, the closer the day came, the more he looked forward to the success of the improvement of 052.
As for what Xiao Chongjun said about letting go to make losing less embarrassing, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Training can give you some relief, but when it comes to fighting, it will be a life and death battle. Who will give you relief then?
If you really let the water go, then you are still practicing as a soldier.
After picking up the phone, Xu Dongguo put it down again.
Pick it up again, put it down again.
Huh——
After a while, he exhaled heavily.
“That’s all!”
"According to what Sun Yongguo said, this period should be the most critical moment, and we must not affect them at this time."
"Personal honor and disgrace are nothing compared to military and national events."< br>
Taking deep breaths one after another, Xu Dongguo suddenly regained his composure.
At this time, the guard's voice came from outside the door. "Chief, you are ready and ready to go at any time!"
Taking the prepared documents, Xu Dongguo opened the door and strode out.
"You will notify Zhou Qinglei later and ask him to go to the south immediately."
"Yes, Chief!"
"That's right." Xu Dongguo warned after stopping. He said: "By the way, let him ask Dingping if he can spare a day. If so, let Dingping take a special plane directly to the south and say..."
"Just say that Chief Liu is waiting for him in the south!"
"Yes! Chief!"
Soon, Xu Dongguo and his guards boarded a special plane and flew directly to Guangdong.
A moment later, inside the cabin.
The guard put down the satellite phone and looked towards Xudong National Highway.
“Reporting to the leader, Captain Zhou cannot be contacted.”
"Can't contact? What's the situation?"
"Report to the chief, I asked, they said that Captain Zhou suddenly stopped the drill last night and took away all the naval officers and soldiers on board 051C."
Xu Dongguo frowned suddenly.
Could it be...
Impossible! Sun Yongguo said that if everything goes well, it will be over by the end of the month!
How could it be so many days in advance!
“Did you say what you were doing?”
“Report to the chief, no!”
“Then send someone to look for it!”
“ Report to the chief, I have looked for it but can’t find it.”
Xu Dongguo's tone suddenly choked.
The thoughts that had been suppressed just now suddenly emerged uncontrollably in my mind.
"Quick, send someone to Dingping, Sun Yongguo, Lu Guangjun!"
"Yes! Chief!"
As he said that, the guard picked up the satellite phone The fight started again.
Xu Dongguo was waiting on the side. Although his expression was still calm, his heart was already hanging in the air.
At this moment, every minute and every second seems so long.
Put down the phone, the guard said.
"Chief, not even found."
"Where is 052?"
"Not found either!"
Hearing these words, Xu Dongguo could clearly feel his heart pounding.
Seeing that Xu Dongguo looked more nervous than ever before, the guard asked in a low voice: "Chief, what happened?"
"It's nothing."
Xu Dongguo waved his hand, feeling happy It has drifted far away.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the military base in the northern sea area.
At the port where 052 was originally docked, two navy soldiers were waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, one of them said.
“Look, warship!”
The other person raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, a huge warship was heading this way.
The distance to the shore is very fast.
In the main control room of 052B, the correspondent said: "Captain, there is someone at the port!"
Zhou Qinglei picked up the telescope and took a look. Sure enough, two navy soldiers were waving to this side at the port. .
“It seems something has happened, hurry up, move forward at full speed!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Twenty minutes later, 052B arrived at the port.
Zhou Qinglei and Su Dingping walked down.
The two naval officers ran up quickly, saluted, and said.
“Captain Zhou, the chief is looking for you.”
“The chief is looking for me?”
Zhou Qinglei was stunned for a moment. How could you wait for me at the port for such a big thing?
"Why didn't you contact me? The communication system on the warship..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that the original communication system of 052 had been completely destroyed by Su Dingping It has been upgraded.
The improved communication system cannot be contacted because the communication frequency code is not known.
In addition, the incident happened suddenly and the matter needed to be kept confidential, so Zhou Qinglei did not file it in advance.
After all, Zhou Qinglei couldn't wait to see such an advanced warship after it was assembled, so he still remembered to report it.
Ahem——
With a slight drink, Zhou Qinglei relieved his inner embarrassment and said.
“What did the chief say?”
“Report to Captain Zhou, the chief said that you should contact him immediately when you come back! The chief also said that you should ask Comrade Su Dingping if he has time. Let him go to Guangdong, where Chief Liu is waiting for him.”
"Okay, I'll contact the chief right away!" After saying that, Zhou Qinglei looked at Su Dingping and said.
"Dingping, you will go first in a moment. We can't keep Chief Liu waiting for too long."
Chief Liu?
Hearing these three words, Su Dingping immediately remembered the signature of another person on his military rank order-Liu Huaming.
Why is Chief Liu waiting for me?
Su Dingping was puzzled.
Sun Yongguo smiled and patted Su Dingping on the shoulder.
"Dingping, Chief Liu has noticed you. This is a good thing!"
Lu Guangjun also said: "Dingping, when you go there, remember to perform well and win the favor of Chief Liu. It will be even more different when you are in the navy."
"Dingping, although you are only a captain now, your importance is already..." Zhang Gongnong stopped, "Do you understand?"
The other two vice presidents of the 408 Research Institute nodded. Obviously, they all recognized Zhang Gongnong's words.
Su Dingping said: "Dean, why don't you go with me. I don't know anyone there, and I'm a little nervous when you say that."
" That won't work!" Sun Yongguo shook his head quickly, "There are so many core technologies on 052B, which are enough for us. I don't want to go so far." Lu Guangjun whispered: "Old Sun is afraid. Go see Cheng Yiqiang from the 702 Institute. The 702 Institute is in Guangdong and they can’t deal with each other.”
“It’s okay! Dingping, don’t listen to Lao Lu’s nonsense!” Sun Yongguo gave Lu Guangjun a hard look.
Su Dingping looked at Zhang Gongnong and saw Zhang Gongnong nodded slightly.
"Dean Lu, you..."
"No, no, no, no, I can't let Lao Sun go in front of me, I want to go hand in hand with him!"
" Professor Zhang?”
“Dingping, just let me go, I’m afraid.”
Su Dingping's face darkened.
He clearly remembered that Zhang Gongnong was drunk and said that he had to fight with Cheng Yiqiang and Lu Guangjun after hearing that the 956E research project was suspended.
Such a person says he is afraid of society?
"Okay, then I'll go by myself! I won't know anyone by then, and I'll see what you do if I get into trouble!"
A few people looked at each other and smiled, but there was no Say more.
This opportunity to appear in front of the four chiefs was very rare, and they did not want to distract the four chiefs from paying attention to Su Dingping.
It is one thing to admire Su Dingping's talent, but many times, they also treat Su Dingping as a junior, and naturally hope that he will go higher and higher.
Su Dingping looked at Zhou Qinglei.
Without Su Dingping opening his mouth, Zhou Qinglei pointed to the warship road behind him.
“I am the captain.”
Seeing that there was no one to talk to, Su Dingping had no choice but to pack his things and get on the special plane flying to Guangzhou.
After sending Su Dingping onto the plane, several people showed happy smiles on their faces.
It's just a pretense to not deal with Cheng Yiqiang.
They can clearly distinguish between what kind of fun they can join in and what kind of fun they can’t.
Just when Su Dingping got on the special plane and set off, Xu Dongguo stepped out of the special plane at the Southern Sea Military Base Airport.
The naval officers and soldiers who came to greet him saluted.
“I’ve met the chief!”
“They are all here?”
“Report to the chief, the other chiefs are here!”
“Okay!”
Xu Dongguo had just taken two steps when the guard quickly caught up and said, "Chief, Captain Zhou's phone number."
Ignoring the others who were still waiting for him, Xu Dongguo took the phone.
"Zhou Qinglei, it's me!"
"Reporting to the commander, I request to command 052B to go to Guangdong to participate in troop training!"
052B?
Xu Dongguo was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly.
052 improvement was successful!
