Chapter 311: The 10,000-ton Large Drive Unrivaled by Blue Star
“With the current industrial level, it cannot keep up with the construction progress of new warships. Naturally, the cost of this production line may be doubled than previously expected.”
"In a word, our navy owes too much debt, and everything we do now is to make up for the shortcomings of the past."
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Su Dingping spoke again. , he must let everyone know that the current military expenditure is not worth their excitement.
To build a powerful modern navy, there was basically no investment before. The basic expenditure of personnel has been maintained for decades. As for the advanced ships, not a single one has been added.
Donghuanghai has definitely spotted this opportunity. They want to complete their success in one battle and completely eliminate the Longxia Navy once and for all to complete the task of dominating the Dongzhou waters.
It's a pity that they made a wrong calculation and were killed by Longxia Navy.
After hearing what Su Dingping said, everyone no longer smiled.
I originally thought that the scale of military expenditure of nearly 100 billion soft girl coins had reached a level of military expenditure that Longxia Navy had never seen before, so I would be very happy, but I did not expect that in the end, I would still be a poor guy. .
A few people looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces, but a magical idea came to their minds. Could it be that the navy wanted to turn into pirates to steal money?
"Wait a minute, Dingping, what kind of warship is the 10,000-ton cruiser you just mentioned?"
"Isn't the 10,000-ton cruiser?"
Suddenly, Liu Huaming's eyes suddenly lit up. , and asked with some doubts.
In the world's concept, a warship can be called a cruiser after it reaches a scale of 10,000 tons. Today, only the Eagle Tribe is equipped with a 10,000-ton cruiser.
I have never heard of the concept of a 10,000-ton drive before.
"Dingping, the 10,000-ton cruiser, is it a new concept warship developed with the Eagle Tribe?"
Xu Dongguo also spoke, with a look of curiosity on his face.
"Definitely not. The Eagle Tribe's Zumwalt 10,000-ton drive is too science fiction. We don't have the technology to realize it yet, right?" Qian Wenbing didn't believe it at all.
“The ship built by the Eagle Tribe is exactly that after clearing all threatening targets, it will fight at the enemy’s doorstep. We want to fight out.”
“ Shouldn’t we learn from Donghuanghai and build an aircraft-carrying destroyer?”
Xiao Chongjun also spoke. There are only two strange things on Blue Star. The Eagle Tribe has developed numerous new concept weapons to maintain its military advantage over other tribes on Blue Star, while the Eastern Barren Sea has secretly adopted various concepts to create offensive capabilities. Extremely powerful aircraft carrier.
A few people were at a loss. They had never heard of the 10,000-ton drive.
If Su Dingping hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid they would never have known that Su Dingping's research direction had shifted to this.
Before, Su Dingping only gave a vague report, occasionally mentioning a new concept warship.
But it has never been said so clearly as it is today.
"No, no, it has a displacement of 10,000 tons. It is also a destroyer."
"The preliminary standard displacement is 12,000 tons. It is completely different from Zumwalt. It is our own guided missile destroyer."
Su Dingping quickly corrected, "And I assure you leaders that our 10,000-ton cruiser will definitely lead the Blue Star trend, which also means that we have entered the kingdom of freedom in terms of shipbuilding technology."
What?
It is a brand new destroyer designed and built by ourselves.
The tonnage reached 12,000 tons?
Several leaders looked at each other, feeling that their brains were a little insufficient and they couldn't keep up with the trip at all.
"Dingping, please tell me in detail."
Liu Huaming was the first to react and quickly cast an encouraging glance. His interest was greatly aroused.
“Yes, Chief.”
Su Dingping nodded, and then said, "The combat effectiveness of our 10,000-ton cruiser is far superior to that of the 052D. It is called the sword-carrying guard of the aircraft carrier. It can accompany the aircraft carrier to carry out combat missions, and it can also carry out long-distance operations on its own. Expulsion mission."
"It will be equipped with more than 110 large-caliber vertical launch units, and has very powerful combat effectiveness."
He paused slightly when he said this. , waiting for the leaders to digest what they just said.
Pick up the tea cup and take a sip. The tea soup enters your throat, and you instantly feel refreshed.
“Although we have the 052D and will install it in large-scale batches, its combat performance is still a bit poor. We use it as an auxiliary ship of the aircraft carrier to cooperate with submarines and fight against ordinary medium-sized countries. The aircraft carrier fleet is still okay.”
"But our next opponent is the Eagle Tribe. This is not based on personal will. Whether we want it or not, the Eagle Tribe will regard us as a strategic opponent."
"The Eagle Tribe has Eleven aircraft carriers have extremely strong maritime combat capabilities, and the gap between us and them is still too big."
Su Dingping's tone gradually became serious, and his expression became extremely solemn, "If this happens one day. If there are unpredictable events, we don’t have much power to fight back.”
“Winning the Donghuanghaizi does not mean that we will definitely be able to defeat the Eagle Tribe.”
Liu Huaming and others. All the leaders looked at Su Dingping with approval, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Unexpectedly, while everyone was immersed in the joyful and peaceful victory, Su Dingping was unusually clear-headed and even predicted that the Eagle Tribe would be ambitious and would conflict with Long Xia sooner or later.
Looking at the entire Blue Star, who dares to go to war with the Eagle Tribe?
None.
Now that the Eagle Tribe is deeply involved in the war between the Keyi Tribe and unable to take care of the Dongzhou Sea, they naturally have to hold the Donghuang Tribe down. Once they escape from the war, they will definitely turn their attention to Focus on the Longxia tribe.
At that time, the Longxia Tribe will face various pressures from the Eagle Tribe.
Military confrontation is most likely inevitable.
Since it is unavoidable, we can only bite the bullet. Just like back then, the Eagle Tribe just dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet and arrived in the waters of Longzhao Island, forcing Longxia's sea, land and air forces to dispatch together. , the sailors on almost every ship dispatched by the Navy wrote a suicide note.
It was clear that those hard-core naval warriors were determined to die and faced the enemy with their flesh and blood.
Even if everything was like this, it was the intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines dispatched by Long Xia that finally forced away the Eagle Tribe fleet. What a tragic shame that was.
To say that it was a tragic victory is a bit flattering to the navy, and its equipment is not as good as that of Donghuang Hai.
Fortunately, there was no armed conflict at that time, otherwise they would have to pay compensation if they lost the war. In comparison, the Longxia tribe's national fortune was not bad, and they successfully avoided the biggest risk at that time.
If the same thing happens again and the Eagle Tribe sends an additional aircraft carrier fleet, then relying solely on the 052C and the Varyag aircraft carrier will not have much chance of winning.
Even if 052D is added to the battle, I am afraid that there will not be any advantage.
After listening to Su Dingping's analysis, Liu Huaming and others immediately thought of the powerful military strength of the Eagle Tribe, and their hearts sank.
All the joy accumulated before disappeared without a trace, and their expressions became serious.
Just like Su Dingping said, the navy has too many debts. To develop into a powerful naval force, everyone needs to share their strengths and move forward step by step. There is a long way to go!
The road ahead is long and long!
“Is this the reason why you proposed the development of a 10,000-ton large displacement?”
Liu Huaming’s tone also became very serious, “The standard displacement exceeds 12,000 tons? Aren’t we trying to catch up? Donghuanghai’s light aircraft carrier?”
“Yes, Chief”
Su Dingping took a deep breath and talked eloquently, "It will carry two helicopters and even anti-ship ballistic missiles to carry out the mission of annihilating enemies from a long distance." "Its comprehensive combat capabilities will be at least three There are no more than six ships in total Unparalleled by any law."
The 052D gave full play to its terrifying combat power, suppressing the aircraft carriers in the East Desert Sea so much that they could not even lift their heads. The combat power was actually even that of the six-thousand-ton cruiser. Not even a fraction of it.
This is so powerful that it is completely unbelievable.
The faces of Liu Huaming and others were full of horror and confusion. It was terrible.
Gradually he became extremely enthusiastic.
How terrifying is the combat effectiveness of such a 10,000-ton weapon?
If the navy is equipped with such a type of warship, there is really no telling who will have the strongest fist in the entire Blue Star Sea in the future.
“Of course, we are still just conceiving and making relevant technical reserves. There are still a lot of core technologies that need to be overcome. I am telling everyone to be prepared.”
“This way warships, our navy must equip them.”
Su Dingping suddenly smiled and said very frankly.
Hearing this, Liu Huaming and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts were finally relieved.
They are really afraid that these 100 billion soft girl coins will be completely consumed in the blink of an eye before they are warmed in their hands.
"Just watch and grasp the progress. Don't be too anxious."
"As for the amount of military expenditures, just report it."
Xu Dongguo took a deep look at Su Dingping and said very generously, "Dingping, you are open to your demands. You can still manage enough for now."
He knew very well that solving core technology problems did not happen overnight. , it requires long-term financial investment.
Without enough funds, nothing can be done.
Hearing this, Su Dingping fell into deep thought. After thinking carefully, he slowly spoke.
“Commanders, my next arrangements will be divided into two steps.”
"First, continue to develop the Varyag aircraft carrier and strive to conquer the core technology as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Dean Cheng and the others to study and continue repairing it. I will send Sun Yongguo to support them."
"Now that we have sufficient funds and the capital for trial and error, it is very appropriate to leave this kind of thing to them."
"Second, with the time saved, I devoted myself to conquering the core of the 10,000-ton drive. Technology, try to develop it as soon as possible."
Liu Huaming and others listened carefully to Su Dingping's words.
“We have almost completed the second step of the three-step strategy. Next, we have to face two major opponents, the first is the White Bear Tribe, and the second is the Eagle Tribe.”
"According to the actual strategic opponents, there is only the Eagle Tribe in the end."
"We can temporarily list the Eagle Tribe as the most important strategic opponent to prepare. They have advanced fighter jets and a large number of advanced bombers. , as well as various anti-air and anti-ground missiles."
"The most important thing is that the Eagle Tribe's goal is to maintain its dominance, so we will become a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly. "
"The 052D alone cannot conquer the world, and it is obviously not possible to protect the aircraft carrier."
"Therefore, the 10,000-ton cruise ship must be built before the Varyag aircraft carrier is completed. Get it out and strive to equip the navy in advance.”
Having said this, Su Dingping stopped talking. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea gently to fully moisturize his dry throat.
"Then you must have a third step, right?"
"Dingping, you might as well just tell them all, so that we can be mentally prepared."
After a while, Xu Dongguo had digested Su Dingping's words, so he asked.
He knew that Su Dingping was a person who did not fight unprepared battles. I am afraid that he had already planned the development of naval battleships and military industry in his mind.
This is also the main reason why several of their leaders have always called Su Dingping a strategic-level expert.
Ordinary scientific researchers only care about their own one-third of an acre and solve technical problems, but they do not have extra things to plan the overall strategy.
Strategic-level scientists like Su Dingping are completely different. They will make overall plans and then implement them step by step.
“Third, build a more powerful and complete shipbuilding industry system and create a complete and efficient industrial chain. When the industrial chain is complete, any warships we build in the future will be very fast.”
“In other words, after the 052D production line is completed, we will begin to further expand the integrated military factory, and the volume will be at least four times the current one.”
"The navy needs strong basic industry support, and the technology on each ship needs to be implemented in the industrial chain."
What he said made Liu Huaming and others so enlightened that they all opened their eyes wide and wrote Full of shock.
One link after another, each link is closely linked, and the planning of each step is very clear and complete.
If they hadn’t considered everything before, they wouldn’t believe it.
They couldn't help but be a little shocked. Su Dingping was busy conquering new technologies every day. Where did he get so much time to build a naval strategic concept?
This young man is really scary!
Actually, they wanted to interrupt and ask about specific matters, but no matter whether it was an aircraft carrier or a 10,000-ton cruise ship, they all touched upon unfamiliar territory to them.
Even if the aircraft carrier is obtained, they have also received certain training on relevant aircraft carrier knowledge.
But they have never thought about the 10,000-ton drive. They have never seen it, okay?
Isn’t it too much to ask them to interrupt?
Naturally, they just acted as good listeners, quickly took notes, and studied it slowly when they returned home. They used this as a blueprint to formulate relevant shipbuilding plans and create a complete naval industry chain.
In fact, even without asking carefully, they have already built a basic industrial chain framework in their minds.
"Dingping, just tell us how much military expenditure you need."
After pondering for a moment, Liu Huaming spoke directly. He felt that talking about money was more direct and practical.
“About 70 billion.”
"You don't need to give it all at once. I will apply to you when I need it. There may be more."
Su Dingping took out his notebook and looked through it, then said.
Seventy billion.
There is no need to give it all at once.
This made Liu Huaming and others quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts were relieved.
