Chapter 144 Next Generation 052D! You are extremely honored! First class collective merit!
The four 051C guided missile destroyers were sent to the Tesha tribe safely and safely. The original escort arrangement needs to be adjusted.
Xu Dongguo pondered for a while and suddenly thought of 052C.
Even if you encounter a strong enemy, with 052C here, you can hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the dedicated phone and dialed Liu Huaming.
"Chief, there is something I need to report to you. Regarding the shipment of four 051Cs, we may encounter some troubles."
When he heard that it was related to 051C, Liu Huaming's expression on the other end of the phone also changed. A lot more serious.
This is the Navy’s first foreign trade deal. If it is messed up, it will be even more difficult to attract business!
"... Bird Edin wants to personally guarantee the goods. There is too much noise. I am worried that the news will leak out and cause unnecessary trouble..."
Xu Dongguo said: "In addition, there is news recently He said that the Donghuang Tribe sent people to secretly inquire about the information in the White Bear Tribe. If the White Bear Tribe hadn’t arrested a few people and released the information, we wouldn’t have known about it.”
"It can be expected that the other party will eventually suspect us! In addition, it coincides with the shipment of 051C, so something may happen! I plan to adjust the escort arrangement."
After listening to Xu Dongguo's explanation, Liu Huaming thought for a while and then said.
"If they don't find any valuable information in the White Bear Tribe, then their eyes will definitely fall on us! The Eastern Barren Tribe has to guard against it!"
"You can't do anything about this. Take responsibility and submit a report to me when the time comes."
"Okay, Chief!" After a pause, Xu Dongguo said again: "Chief, I plan to go to the integrated military factory. The surveying and mapping of 052C has been completed. It’s coming to an end and it will officially enter service in the next two days.”
Regarding which fleet the 052C guided missile destroyer will serve in, Liu Huaming has previously issued an approval document. The Eastern Fleet will become the first fleet to have a 052C guided missile destroyer!
Second Northern Fleet, third Southern Fleet.
Although the Southern Fleet faces more opponents, its pressure is still much smaller than that of the other two fleets. What's more, the Congyun incident happened before, which put greater pressure on the Northern Fleet and the Eastern Fleet.
No matter how long the news can be kept secret, they must prepare for the worst.
“Are you planning to send 052C guide escort?”
"Yes, Chief, I do mean so!"
"Okay, I've approved it!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dongguo immediately shouted outside.
"Guard, prepare your machine!"
"Yes, chief!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Dongguo quickly packed up some documents and strode outside.
Integrated Military Factory Research Institute Su Dingping Office.
Dong dong——
With a knock on the door, Sun Yongguo walked in.
“Dingping, Chief Xu will be here soon.”
"I told Chief Xu two days ago that the 052C has been completely adjusted and can be officially put into service. It makes sense for Chief Xu to come and take a look."
Su Dingping put down the drawings in his hands and raised his head and said.
Sun Yongguo nodded. Just as he was about to say more, he glanced at the drawing in Su Dingping's hand and was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this the 346 active phased array radar?
It has already installed 052C, what is Dingping doing?
Curious in his heart, Sun Yongguo asked tentatively.
"Dingping, this is the Type 346 active phased array radar?"
After hesitating for a moment, Su Dingping said: "That's right."
"This radar It’s very advanced. It’s been so long, but the military industry experts who specialize in this field haven’t fully understood it yet!”
Halfway through the words, Sun Yongguo said in surprise: “What do you mean? I guess...hey. , it seems to be a little different.”
"I know. They are busy with theirs and I am busy with mine. There is no conflict." Su Dingping said calmly: "It is the 346 active phased array radar, but I have some new ideas and plan to upgrade it. .”
Upgrade?
Sun Yongguo was stunned.
At present, passive phased array radars are commonly used by all major naval powers. Active phased arrays have advanced to the point where the best radar and military experts in the integrated military factory all sighed: It’s so difficult to understand. ah.
In this case, can the Type 346 active phased array radar continue to be upgraded?
Go crazy!
You are walking so fast, what should others do?
The old model hasn’t been finished yet, is the new model about to be launched?
"Dean Sun, come and see."
Su Dingping pushed the drawing over and explained: "I plan to cancel the arc-shaped windshield on the surface of the 346 active phased array radar ! ”
"Change from air cooling to liquid cooling!"
"Change from air cooling to liquid cooling?"
Sun Yongguo fell into thinking.
When the active phased array radar is working, the densely packed radar components generate heat like thousands of induction cookers.
When the air-cooled 346 active phased array radar operates at full power, it is easy for components to overheat, shut down or even burn out.
The deployment of the arc-shaped radome is for stronger static pressure wind force and to extend the life of the 346 active phased array radar as much as possible.
The 346 active phased array radar has thousands of components, each of which is very expensive. Not only the technology, but also the materials are expensive.
With the navy’s military budget, it cannot afford to replace the components on the 346 active phased array radar every once in a while.
With this in mind, Sun Yongguodao.
“Theoretically speaking, the effect of liquid cooling will be better than that of air cooling! But it may be technically difficult!”
Although he is not a military expert specializing in the field of radar, his understanding of radar is equally profound.
"There will indeed be some difficulties." Su Dingping said casually, "But it is precisely because it is difficult that we have to do it! If it is not difficult, how can we catch up with the West? It is worth taking some risks!"
“I have calculated that once the air cooling is changed to liquid cooling and the arc radome is cancelled, the radar antenna area can also be increased by 20%-25%!”
“The performance in actual combat, Can it be improved by one-fifth?”
One-fifth?
Sun Yongguo's face was full of astonishment.
The Type 346 active phased array radar is already very powerful. If it is improved by one-fifth, how much stronger will it be?
Isn’t that really comparable to the Burke II-class guided missile destroyer?
Having never fought against the Burke II-class guided missile destroyer, in Sun Yongguo's mind, the 052C is slightly better than the King Kong class.
Although Su Dingping often said that 052C could arm-wrestle with Burke II, he still felt that it was better to be cautious.
Before he could recover from the shock, Su Dingping continued.
"In addition, as mentioned before, I am also planning to improve the automatic data processing level of the radar. As for the chip issue, Dean Sun, you should pay more attention to it."
"Don't worry, I will be responsible." Sun Yongguo said.
"It is best to form a new industrial chain! Of course, I know this is difficult!"
"It will not be our turn to do things that are not difficult!" Sun Yongguo ordered Nod: "I will try my best."
"In addition to chip issues, data processing and signal data algorithms are also top priorities to be solved at the moment!"
Flicking through the drawings at the bottom, Su Dingping continued.
“For the next generation of guided missile destroyers, I plan to carry out in-depth optimization on the basis of the 052C. Let’s tentatively select the 052D first. The improvement plan has not yet been completely released. In the future, the Type 052 guided missile destroyer will not be upgraded. "
"So this time we have to be perfect!"
Sun Yongguo was secretly surprised: "The next generation is the last generation of Type 052 guide drive?"
"Yes! 052D will be the last generation of Type 052 guided drive!"
"What about the others?"
"What else?"
"Guide missile destroyer .”
Sun Yongguo was anxious.
After the 052D is upgraded, the Type 052 guide drive will be put on hold. What is the follow-up plan?
"The follow-up will be a new generation of warships. Whether it is a guide or not, it is hard to say for the time being. It is just a rough idea at the moment. After the 052D comes out, I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter. . ”
The 055 drive has not even released its technical analysis panel, and Su Dingping is not in a hurry to reveal it.
Sun Yongguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"As the last generation of Type 052, 052D should be very strong." Sun Yongguo asked with some expectation: "How does it compare with the Eagle Tribe Burke II? It should be on par."
Su Dingping was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Sun Yongguo and said slowly: "It should be."
"That's good! That's good!" Sun Yongguo looked happy.
"The Burke II-class guided missile destroyer is the most powerful guided missile destroyer of the Eagle Tribe! After our 052D is launched, we must mass-produce it! Mass-produce it!"
"Arrived At that time, this Dongzhou sea area will no longer be the home of its Eagle Tribe!"
Su Dingping stared blankly at Sun Yongguo talking to himself excitedly.
In his mind, the strengthened 052C is already on par with the Burke II-class guided missile destroyer.
The combat level of the next generation 052D will definitely be better than that of the Burke II-class guided missile destroyer.
It can even compete with the Burke III-class guided missile destroyers of later generations.
You know, in 2022, the Eagle Tribe’s 75th Burke-class guided ship was also the first Burke-class III destroyer, and it was also the first Burke-class equipped with an active phased array radar. After the pilot drive, it was officially launched into the water for testing.
It was not officially installed until 23 years.
The first Type 052D destroyer was launched in 2012 and officially entered service in 2014. There is a difference of 9 years between the two!
In the field of active phased array radar, even based on the previous generation 052C, there is still a gap of 19 years.
So Su Dingping is very confident that the 052D will not be inferior to the Burke III guide, and it is better than the Burke II guide.
Unfortunately, he couldn't explain many things to Sun Yongguo, so he could only quietly watch the other party dancing excitedly.
"Dingping, you go ahead and get ready. I'll make some preparations. The chief will be here in a moment." With that said, Sun Yongguo walked out excitedly.
Looking at Sun Yongguo's leaving figure, Su Dingping sighed secretly in his heart.
Dean Sun, you have to be bolder even in your dreams!
If you are too cautious, you will be timid.
The Eagle Tribe Navy in your eyes has the aura of overlord blessing, but not in my eyes.
Immediately, Su Dingping focused his attention on the virtual panel in his mind.
[052D guided missile destroyer - shield ship, displacement: 6800~7500 tons, 155 meters long and 18 meters wide, an advanced 'second generation' destroyer. 】
[052D guided missile destroyer main power system (analysis progress 100%); 1130 close-in anti-gun system (analysis progress 100%); Type 346A active phased array radar (analysis time 83 days, analysis progress 97 %), front 48 units + rear 32 units vertical launch system (analysis progress 100%), 'Star' combat command system...]
[Trigger the core technology of the 'Eagle Strike Anti-Ship Missile System'! Trigger the core technology of the ‘Haihongqi Air Defense Missile System’! (Note: After analyzing the core technology of the main body of the warship, you can continue to analyze the core technology of the ship-based missile system.)]
Withdrawing his gaze, Su Dingping thought to himself.
Soon, in a while, the core technology of 052D will be completely analyzed.
By then, the core technologies of the new generation'Eagle Strike Anti-Ship Missile System' and 'Haihongqi Air Defense Missile System' will be analyzed. The two missile systems on the 052D are much stronger than the upgraded YJ-101A anti-ship missile system and Haihongqi-101A air defense missile system.
The speed of the missiles installed on it all starts at Mach 2.5.
It takes time to get the main body of the 052D warship, and it also takes time to get the two more advanced missile systems.
When the 052D is fully commissioned, the definition of the new generation of guided missile destroyers will no longer be determined by the West!
"Once we have completed the two missile systems, we can begin to analyze the 055 drive!"
Thinking of this, Su Dingping couldn't help but feel a little excited.
“We have to keep working hard!”
Looking at the drawing, he continued to work.
Two hours later, Xu Dongguo came outside the institute.
"Dingping, long time no see. Look, you look haggard again."
As soon as he came up, Xu Dongguo took the initiative to hold Su Dingping's hand.
"Is the food not good? Who is responsible for the food?"
As he spoke, Xu Dongguo looked at Sun Yongguo, Lu Guangjun and others beside Su Dingping.
“Chief, everyone has the same food and shelter.”
Su Dingping explained.
Seeing that Xu Dongguo wanted to talk more, Su Dingping quickly changed the topic.
"Chief, after several small-scale optimizations, there are no problems with 052C. It is ready for service at any time!"
"It will take a month or so!"
Xu Dongguo sighed with emotion. looked at the crowd.
Normally, it takes a year and a half for a warship to go from launch to official service, and two to three years at a long time. There is no way, launching into the water is just a preliminary finalization, and many problems will be discovered during the testing process, which need to be solved one by one.
If you come and go again, you will have more time.
The original Type 052 guided missile destroyer took five years from launch to official service.
The one that Su Ding tied, whether it was 052B or 052C, greatly shortened the process.
Looking across everyone, Xu Dongguo said solemnly.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work."
"Chief, this is what we should do." Everyone said in unison.
Immediately afterwards, under Xu Dongguo’s instruction, everyone went to the conference room, while Wan Long was busy summoning others.
When he arrived at the conference room, Xu Dongguo put down the documents he brought, looked at the people in front of him, and said in a serious tone.
“On the 2nd of last month, 052C sank the Cong Yun on the high seas, and no one on board survived!”
"I know some people are still worried about whether there will be any responsibility for this matter. I am here to tell you clearly that this matter is over!"
Changing the subject, Xu Dongguo continued: "Originally , I should have come earlier. But the sea is not calm, and Donghuang Tribe is acting crazy. On the one hand, I can't spare time, and on the other hand, I have to be prepared at all times."
"Chief. , we all understand." Sun Yongguo said.
Nodding, Xu Dongguo pulled out two certificates and two first-class collective merit medals from the file.
Seeing what Xu Dongguo was holding, everyone immediately understood.
"This incident happened suddenly, and many people from the outside were watching, so the ceremony was a little simple."
Xu Dongguo explained.
At that time, Su Dingping's first conferment ceremony was very simple, so he could completely understand it.
"In view of the fact that the 052C made the first contribution to the sinking of the Congyun before, it was decided after discussion that all the naval officers and soldiers on the 052C will be credited with a first-class meritorious service!"
As he said that, Xu Dongguo looked towards Zhou Qinglei.
"Comrade Zhou Qinglei?"
Zhou Qinglei walked over quickly, wiped his hands and then carefully took the certificate and medal of merit.
When he walked off the field, Zhou Qinglei glanced at Su Dingping gratefully.
In the past, such an honor might not come only once every few years.
But since I met Su Dingping, in just over half a year, I have already won first-class collective merit twice.
The Mekong was sunk last time, and the Congyun was sunk this time.
If there were no special merits in peacetime, there would definitely be a collective special merit for sinking the Congyun this time.
Showing your sword to the sea not only means the strength of the navy, but also takes a crucial step in your heart.
The great powers will no longer be great powers.
This is of epoch-making significance.
After commending Zhou Qinglei and other naval officers and soldiers, Xu Dongguo turned his attention to military industry experts Su Dingping.
“In view of the strong combat level demonstrated by 052C, after discussion and decision, all researchers at the integrated military factory who are responsible for participating in the 052C research work will be given a collective first-class merit!”
“Sun Comrade Yongguo? "
Sun Yongguo strode over, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then accepted the certificate and medal of merit.
In the past, they would be notified in advance, so everyone could dress neatly.
This time it happened so suddenly that they were not prepared.
Wearing plain clothes, my hands are still a little dirty.
The two waves of commendations were over, Xu Dongguo looked at Su Dingping and said.
“Comrade Su Dingping, your merits are still being evaluated!”
“You also know that you give us such big surprises every time, and Chief Liu doesn’t know what to do for a while. How to start.”
"This has never happened before in the history of our navy!"
A smile appeared on Xu Dongguo's face.
"Wait patiently, I won't let you down."
Su Dingping said seriously: "Yes, Chief!"
At this time, Wan Long quickly Walked over.
"Chief, everything is ready."
"Comrades, come together." Xu Dongguo said to Su Dingping.
After a while, everyone came to a temporary square.
There are 4,000 navy soldiers and 500 technical workers. In addition to the more than 100 people deployed in the surrounding area to guard the area, there are also more than 300 naval officers and soldiers brought over by Wan Long to be responsible for security. Including 42 people from the three major research institutes and 296 naval officers and soldiers including Zhou Qinglei, they were all present.
There are more than 5,200 people in this vast area.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Dongguo strode onto the podium.
"Comrades, I know you are very busy now. Some comrades are still operating instruments, some comrades are still carrying materials, and some comrades..."
"I will only take a few minutes of your time. , Two things!”
“First!”
After a pause, Xu Dongguo said.
"In view of the outstanding contributions that all comrades have made in the research of 052C, it has been decided after discussion that all personnel of the integrated military factory who participated in the research of 052C will be awarded a collective second-class merit!"
Everyone below was a little confused.
I didn’t do anything, I just worked here with my head down. Why did I get a second-class collective merit?
When did you get credit for participating in building warships?
Before anyone could figure it out, Xu Dongguo continued.
"I know that the comrades are very confused. Why did a second-class merit suddenly fall on my head? When did it become so easy to get the merit of my navy?"
Many people below made a gesture. nodded.
A smile appeared on Xu Dongguo’s face.
“This is related to the second thing I want to say!”
Facing everyone’s gaze, Xu Dongguo’s expression gradually became serious.
"Comrades, just last month, a big event happened on the high seas!"
"I know that many of you have never heard of the news until now! Because you are here working hard day and night. Go ahead, forge a sharp sword for our navy, and don’t have time to deal with the outside world!”
“Now I can tell you that the sword you forged, 052C, sank the Congyun on the high seas on the 2nd of last month at a distance of 153 kilometers!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood fluctuated violently, and their breathing became rapid.
What are they working so hard for here?
Just for this moment!
Pointing to the east, Xu Dongguo’s voice suddenly rose several decibels.
"This is the first time in so many years that our navy stands on the deck of advanced technology and looks down at its opponent! For our navy, this is an epoch-making battle!"
"You guys The world does not know your contribution. But please believe that the country and the people will not forget you! One day, you will appear in the history books, and you will be glorious at that time!"
Everyone shouted.
"Serve the people!"
The voice penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks, echoing in the sky for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Dongguo's tone became heavy.
"Here, on behalf of the naval officers and soldiers who have died and are alive these years, I would like to say thank you!"
After the words fell, Xu Dongguo gave a military salute to everyone. .
More than 5,200 people below were all stunned.
The chief said thank you to himself, which he had never done before.
Many people suddenly felt their hearts surging, their blood rushed to their heads, and they were at a loss for a moment.
Suddenly, Zhou Qinglei shouted.
"Stand at attention——"
Swish——
More than 5,200 people stood together.
A group of people stood there in Wuyangyang. They were all born in the navy, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air around them.
"Salute——"
Everyone saluted together.
