Chapter 165 052D is in sight! The confidence to challenge an entire fleet alone!
The three of Xiao Chongjun looked at each other, confused.
Isn’t it about the news from the central region? Why is the chief so angry?
Did something happen to 051C?
It shouldn’t be, I haven’t heard of it.
The three people were surprised.
"Chief, what happened?" Xu Dongguo asked.
“Hmph!”
Liu Huaming snorted coldly and said a little helplessly.
“Aren’t you surprised, why have the 051Cs arrived, and the first foreign trade order has obviously been placed, but why have none of the tribes in the central region come to inquire?”
The three of them nodded.
In order to fire this shot, when facing the Haizi warships before, I had to fight hard!
If the expansion of foreign trade was not so important to the navy, Liu Huaming and others would certainly not have been so decisive in confronting Haizi.
Taking risks is for the greater good!
“A while ago, news came out from the Eagle Tribe that other tribes in the central region are prohibited from purchasing warships! Anyone who violates this will be punished by the Keyi Tribe!”
When Liu Huaming finished saying this, Xu Dongguo and the other three were furious.
Hey guys, we have made so many efforts to open up foreign trade.
In the end, your Eagle Tribe just called me back to the source with just one sentence?
Am I working in vain?
“It’s too much to bully! It’s just a technical blockade. We finally broke through it, and now we have a decisive blow!”
"Bullying others with power! How shameless!"
"Shameless! Shameless!"
The three of them said angrily.
But anger is anger, and there is nothing that can be done at the moment.
The Eagle Tribe’s control over the central region and its power of deterrence in the hearts of many tribes in Blue Star are still unparalleled in the world.
Arm wrestling with the Eagle Tribe is still a very distant thing.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Huaming sighed slowly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said calmly.
“Since the way to seek help from outside has been blocked, we don’t have to worry too much.”
“Speaking of which, our navy has already gone through the most difficult time! Now it’s just a matter of surviving. It’s just time to wait!”
“Besides, Liu Shuai also stated before that our navy’s military budget will increase next year! So, the current situation is actually beneficial to our navy!”
Liu Huaming's comforting words sounded uncomfortable to them.
The three of them realized more deeply that if they could not compete with the Eagle Tribe, it would be almost impossible to live a prosperous life on Blue Star.
“No wonder Dingping mentioned in our navy’s three-step strategy that the second step must at least compete with the Eagle Tribe Navy!”
“Dingping has already seen the future. ! The Eagle Tribe is really a scourge!”
“Oh! If we can’t do it externally, we can do it internally! Fortunately, Dingping’s scientific research expenses are strictly under control. , our navy really can’t handle it.”
The three of them sighed, feeling helpless but having no choice.
A horse is not fat without night grass, a man is not rich without a windfall, and the navy has tight pockets without foreign trade orders.
The topic changed and Liu Huaming continued.
"By the way. How is the progress of the other two 051Cs?"
"Chief, the first 051C will be completed by the end of the month at the earliest! If it is fast, it is expected to be delivered by the end of December! If it is slow, It will be delivered in January next year," Xu Dongguo said immediately.
"Okay, no need to adjourn the meeting beforehand!" After saying that, Liu Huaming stood up and left the conference room.
Xu Dongguo and others also left with heavy hearts.
Half a month has passed by, and the situation in the central region has become obviously more tense.
The Sun Never Sets Tribe and the Lanxi Tribe also began to prepare their armies. Everyone could see that the Eagle Tribe was serious about it this time, and the Keyi Tribe was really going to finish it off this time.
Will the Eagle Tribe sweep everything like it did ten years ago? The tribes are looking forward to it, and the White Bear Tribe is even more nervous.
On the night of November 5th, the integrated military factory.
Su Dingping is discussing equipment technology issues with Sun Yongguo and others.
At the beginning of last month, a piece of high-precision equipment had a major malfunction, which slowed down the overall progress.
If we follow the normal process, the third 052C is already being forged at this moment! Due to equipment problems, the overall forging of the second 052C is only halfway progressed!
After that incident, Su Dingping realized a very important issue.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most advanced and sophisticated equipment in the integrated military factory are almost all ‘disposable’! Once something goes wrong, there is no one in the entire integrated military factory who can repair it!
If you find someone from the relevant manufacturer to repair it, it obviously won’t work.
When people come and repairs are done, you can’t just detain them and not let them go, right? Once let go, the secrets of the integrated military factory will be exposed! When the time comes, the Eagle Tribe will turn its guns and abandon the Keyi Tribe.
That night, Su Dingping held a high-level meeting overnight.
Finally, after some deliberation, he made the decision to suspend the second 052C forging plan and focus all his energy on researching high-precision equipment and technology.
The decision is easy to make, but when it comes to actual implementation, it is still very difficult.
After all, the top military industry experts in the integrated military factory are very knowledgeable about the technical fields related to warships, but they can only be said to be proficient in operating those high-precision equipment.
Maintenance and even overcoming related technologies are almost a new field for them.
Fortunately, the 052C forging project was stopped, otherwise they would not be busy at all.
"Dingping, the progress of the current research is quite smooth. That's the cost... half of the forging cost reserved for the third 052C has been used! If everything is done, 2.5 billion will not be enough!"< br>
Sun Yongguo said melancholy.
"It's okay, feel free to use it! If the cost is not enough, I will apply to the chief! If I don't have the technology of these equipment in my own hands, I won't feel at ease!"
Su Dingping said seriously.
“Last time it was just during the forging process, and the losses were within the acceptable range. Next time at the critical moment of technical research, the equipment fails, and the impact will be even greater!”
“The more you pay in the early stage, the easier it will be later on.”
After a pause, Su Dingping added.
"It's my fault too. I was in a hurry and didn't consider the equipment."
"Dingping, how can I blame you for this! Who would have thought that spending a lot of money to buy The equipment that came back had problems after being used for more than half a year," Sun Yongguo said immediately.
“But this time we will fix the technical problems on the equipment first, and if problems arise later, we can easily solve them.”
“We can also cultivate a group of more technical talents! Overall, For me, the rewards far outweigh the efforts.”
Su Dingping said: "Indeed, it is easier to get started with the equipment!"
This time's equipment technology research is the same as the previous warship technology research, and Su Dingping took the lead.
Although the Military Illustrated Forging Space cannot analyze the relevant technologies on high-precision equipment, all the high-precision equipment that Su Dingping reproduced and entered the Military Illustrated Forging Space can be dismantled by him like warships. Things fall apart and then quickly come back together.
In the Military Illustrated Forging Space, he does not need to worry about the equipment being disassembled and unable to be assembled.
In this way, cost and time are also greatly saved.
Otherwise, this batch of equipment worth billions cannot be afforded by the 2.5 billion research cost. It is difficult to achieve great results even if tens of billions of dollars are invested.
Fortunately, more than a month of hard work has paid off a lot.
The cost is a bit tight.
After a while, Sun Yongguo laughed and said: "If we continue like this, we will really be able to cultivate a group of all-round talents!"
"There is no need to stick to all-round talents! This thing requires too much talent and is too time-consuming. We don’t have that much time,” Su Dingping said.
"As I said before, in the limited free time, teach students in accordance with their aptitude!"
"Don't worry, I understand the importance." Sun Yongguo nodded.
Those 4,000 ordinary naval soldiers, under the influence of their ears and eyes, coupled with the guidance of these top military industry experts, have made great progress.
There are many outstanding naval officers and soldiers who have received outstanding honors from internal selections.
If this development continues, as Su Dingping said before, the integrated military factory can really become the beginning of a new industrial system for the navy!
In the subsequent expansion, these people will be the technical backbone! Looking at the time, Sun Yongguo said: "Dingping, Chief Xu is arriving soon."
Yesterday, Xu Dongguo had been notified in advance before he was coming.
“Get ready.”
Su Dingping said.
As Sun Yongguo left, Su Dingping glanced at the drawings on the table, and his eyes fell on the attribute 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 progress 100%), the first 48 Unit + rear 32 unit vertical launch system (analysis progress 100%), 'Star' combat command system (analysis progress 100%)...]
All core technologies of 052D have been analyzed!
In addition, the core technology of the new generation'Eagle Strike Anti-Ship Missile System' and the 'Haihongqi Air Defense Missile System' have also begun to be analyzed.
If it weren't for the equipment failure, the analysis process of the two missile technologies would have been much faster. Right now, it's just the beginning.
But the new generation of Eagle Strike anti-ship missile technology can increase the speed of anti-ship missiles to Mach 2.5 or even higher! Anti-aircraft missiles also exceeded Mach 2!
At this speed, if you look at all the ship-based anti-ship missiles and ship-based air defense missiles in the entire Blue Star, they are the best!
When such an advanced missile is installed on the 052D, the navy will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Really, a single warship can challenge an entire fleet!
Su Dingping is still looking forward to the full version of 052D.
Right now, after researching the core technology of high-precision equipment, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to the analysis of the forging of 052D and the technology of the two missiles.
After the 052D is completely finished, the next step is the 0.55 million ton large drive, which is said to be a sharp blade that can single-handedly challenge the entire aircraft carrier fleet!
After busying for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Su Dingping got up and walked downstairs.
Downstairs of the Integrated Military Factory Research Institute, Xu Dongguo is here.
Seeing everyone looking haggard, Xu Dongguo said.
"Are you encountering any difficulties?"
"Chief, the problem is not big and can be overcome." Su Dingping said.
Changing the topic, Su Dingping continued: "The second 052C may not be launched until the end of November."
"It's okay, don't worry!"
Xu Dongguo waved his hands repeatedly,
Although he was eager for the second 052C, he also knew the importance. Even if Su Dingping didn't say it too bluntly, he felt in his heart that there was something wrong with the integrated military factory.
Dismissing the others, Xu Dongguo and Su Dingping walked into the office.
"Dingping, there are no outsiders here." Xu Dongguo said: "Are you encountering difficulties? If you have difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely help those who can, and I will find ways to help those who cannot! "
"If that doesn't work, there are still Chief Liu and Xue Shuai."
After a pause, Xu Dongguo added with a smile: "By the way, there is good news. After sank four warships on the high seas before, Xue Shuai and his superiors reacted. The military budget of our navy will definitely increase a lot next year! "
"Chief, half of the advance payment for the forging of the third 052C has been used! The remaining half may not last this month."
Su Dingping just finished speaking. , Xu Dongguo’s mouth twitched sharply.
Isn’t it said that 2.2 billion is about the same? Why is it that the cost of the third ship has already been overrun before the second ship is released?
If the Navy's background could be like that of the Army, with a military budget of more than 90 billion, he would wave his hand without even frowning.
052C is very strong and will definitely be supplied to any large tribe.
But the situation of the Longxia tribe is different. Economic development is the current top priority.
The reason why the military budget will increase significantly next year is because of the huge contribution made by 052C. Xue Yunzhi spent a lot of time convincing him.
Xu Dongguo also knew that his request was a bit greedy. He wanted the horse to run and eat less grass. But he is really anxious. Who knows how long the matter on the high seas can be kept hidden?
Once it can no longer be concealed, the Haizi fleet will inevitably come out!
This is a no-brainer.
At that time, without sufficiently advanced warships, it will be very troublesome.
Of course, it was mainly due to betting on the surge in foreign trade orders, and as a result, the Eagle Tribe took advantage of them.
Thinking this in his heart, he still forced a smile.
“It’s okay, it’s about the money, I’ll find a way!”
Immediately, Su Dingping explained all the previous problems.
After listening, Xu Dongguo frowned.
I can still think of a way to deal with money matters. But there is nothing we can do about the equipment.
Last time, the White Bear Tribe secretly took action and cut off some goods, causing those big companies to lose money rather than ship goods. If the secret operation hadn't been arranged early and Su Dingping had a third plan in hand, the integrated military factory would definitely not be what it is now.
Now if I want to purchase those equipment, there is no way.
"As for the equipment, I... I'll find a way."
This sentence is obviously not as confident as before.
"I have solved the equipment problem here." Su Dingping said.
Then he took out a piece of information and handed it over.
"Chief, this is a list of all the high-precision equipment in the integrated military factory! Some of them are marked with '×', some are marked with '√', and some are marked with '?'."
Xu Dongguo took it and looked at it for a few times, then looked at Su Dingping with some confusion.
“The equipment marked with ‘×’ is of average advanced level and can be obtained from major military factories, so it has not been conquered.”
“What about the equipment marked with ‘√’?” Xu Dongguo asked.
"Those equipment, including the equipment marked with '?', are all high-precision equipment and cannot be produced domestically at present."
Xu Dongguo nodded, he knew this in his heart.
If nothing else, this batch of equipment was purchased at a large cost.
Su Dingping continued: "We have conquered the core technologies of the equipment marked with '√'! With these technologies, at some cost, we can also hope to produce them ourselves! Those marked with '?' We are still working on it, and we will work hard to get it done this month.”
Xu Dongguo didn’t think too much about it at first, and was still figuring out where to get spare parts for the equipment.
When Su Dingping said this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the catalog in his hand and said in shock.
"This... have you conquered all of these?"
"Yes, Chief! It's my fault for talking about this matter. I didn't consider the issue of preparedness. It's too late to remedy it now!"
Xu Dongguo looked at the densely packed technical list marked with '√'s and swallowed quietly. , shook his head.
"No, no, no! How can I blame you! You are already very busy, these should be things we should consider! It's because we didn't do our job well!"
Su Dingping He didn’t want to continue to struggle with this issue and said again.
"By the way, Chief. I know that our military budget is tight, and these core technologies marked with a '√' can be given to our own companies appropriately."
Xu Dongguo raised his eyebrows suddenly and looked at Su Dingping in disbelief.
“You mean...sell it?”
“Yes! On the one hand, these technologies can improve our overall internal industrialization level! On the other hand, they can also be exchanged for some Isn’t it military expenditure?”
“How much does it cost?”
“It depends on the situation, at least more than 10 billion! Those companies are willing to pay this amount.”
Xu Dongguo's heart skipped a beat.
More than 10 billion?
Or should I say less?
It could be as much as 20 billion!
And there are many people who type "?"! If they are all sold, more than 20 billion will be unstoppable!
After all, it is a consensus that technology is more expensive than equipment!
Previously, several leaders were still worried that without new orders from foreign trade, the navy’s development momentum would slow down in the future. Unexpectedly, they came to the integrated military factory and got such a big surprise!
Xu Dongguo looked at the ticking technologies again, as if he was looking at the sky full of military expenditures, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The hands holding the directory used a little force.
“I discussed this matter with Chief Liu and the others! I will definitely entrust someone I trust to handle it.”
This is the first time that the Navy has sold technology to the private sector, and Xu Dongguo is still very excited.
Improve the overall level of private industry and raise military spending, killing two birds with one stone!
