Great warships

Sea trials of 055 are still continuing.

After all, Wu Shengli was busy with official duties. After returning from the sea trial that day, they held a banquet together at the Mingzhou Group Guesthouse and then left. Qin Tao still stayed at the Mingzhou Shipyard to participate in the sea trial together. After all, 055 is still very domineering. , he liked the ship.

"President Qin, I just received news that the Americans have named our destroyer the Renhai class." On this day, Qin Tao boarded the warship, and Li Pingfan told him the news.

"Renhai-class? Americans really have no creativity." Qin Tao smiled: "They have used up Luhai-class and Luyang-class, and they have no use on our warship."

"No, according to the Americans, they firmly attribute this warship to a cruiser."

"Cruiser? What authority do they have to classify our warships? If we say it is a 10,000-ton cruiser, then it is a 10,000-ton cruiser. In the future, even if we build a 20,000-ton cruiser, it will still be a destroyer."

Li Pingfan smiled: "Yes, our destroyers are destroyers, we don't need cruisers."

"By the way, what items will be tested today?" Qin Tao thought of something and asked.

"For the air, we will continue to test our dual-band radar. For the sea, we will test our vertical launch silo today. We need to launch a missile."

"Is there a target?"

"Yes, this time we hit a fixed target on land, on an unnamed island near Dongshan Island."

Near Dongshan Island! It's more than 18 kilometers away from here! Qin Tao reacted immediately: "The latest Eagle Strike-?"

"Yes, the test was originally planned to be conducted on land, but our warship happened to be testing at sea, so we put the missile on our warship for testing. As long as we make sure there are no reconnaissance satellites overhead before launching, it will not be No one would know where the missile was launched or how far it traveled."

"Well, is it installed in the front or back silo?"

The hull at the back is wide, and all the pits are nine meters long. The launch silos in the front are limited by the shape of the hull, and there are only short ones on the outside.

"The launch silo in the front center, when the time comes, we can see the missile launch from the bridge."

The fully enclosed bridge has few people outside the deck during sea testing, and it is not easy to see missiles being launched.

"Okay, then what are you waiting for? Let's go to sea!"

Half an hour later, the 055 destroyer sailed onto the rippling blue sea, and sounds kept coming from the bridge.

"The radar monitors that a satellite is flying over. After this satellite flies over, there will be a five-minute window."

"Attention launch team, the final countdown has begun!"

If it were the previous Aegis battleship, it would be impossible to monitor satellites in space. It would be too far away after all, but 055 can! The powerful phased array radar's beam flies into space, searching everything around it. Even if there is no land-based long-range early warning radar, it can still rely on its own radar for anti-missile operations!

There was a tense atmosphere on the bridge. After these days of work, the soldiers have mastered the operation of this warship, and there are fewer and fewer shipyard technicians following the warship.

"Attention, three minutes countdown!"

Yang Dawei stood next to Qin Tao and looked at the forward deck together.

A silo cover in the center suddenly opened and turned ninety degrees to the side, revealing the white silo cover inside. Next, the exciting time is coming!

"The target data has been bound!"

"Beidou navigation system calibrate data again!"

"The news came from the shooting range, everything is normal."

Three minutes flew by.

"Attention, prepare to light the fire!"

Following this sound, with a swish, the circular baffle flew out from the silo cover.

The inside of the launch tube must be sealed so that the missile can maintain good performance at sea and avoid being corroded by moisture and salt. However, it cannot be blocked by anything when launching. Therefore, the top cover of the launch tube is also very particular. .

The cover of a cold-launched missile like Hongqi-9 is a fragile cover, which is directly sealed. When the missile is launched, the warhead just pushes up the cover. In this way, the moment the missile pops out, you can see countless fragments flying around.

The YJ-18 is a thermal launcher, so the cover must be thrown away in advance. However, as the cover is thrown away, the launch will begin immediately!

"emission!"

Following the command, a blazing flame emerged from the mouth of the launch tube and rose upwards. The white baffle just now was blown away in an instant.

Wait, how come the flames come out of the launch tube? Shouldn’t the flame go through a special tail flame diversion channel?

That was the design of the Western MK41. The Hongqi-16 also used this method for thermal emission. However, when it came to the 850 mm universal vertical hair, this structure was removed and the Eastern original concentric tube hot and cold system was used. Set up a hair hanging system!

Some missiles are cold-launched and do not require tail flame guide grooves. It would be a waste to install them all, but thermal-launched missiles also need this thing, so this concentric tube solution was invented.

If it is a cold launch, the diameter of the missile can be 850 mm, maximizing the size advantage of the vertical launch. If it is a hot launch, the diameter of the missile will be smaller, and two nested cylinders will be placed inside. The gap between the two cylinders can be used as an independent exhaust flame guide groove.

Dongfang's thermal emission is the only one in the world. The heat generated by oneself is released by oneself, and you can cry when you make an appointment... I guarantee that it will not affect others.

From the outside, the fire inside the launch tube is soaring. From the inside, it is still intact and will not be affected by the flames. As the flames rise, the milky-white missile begins to slowly leave the launch tube.

The missile came out of the launch tube, covered in flames, and looked like it was reborn from the ashes! The missile quickly left the flames and continued to fly upward. When the missile completely left the deck, the flames below disappeared. The tail of the missile dragged the flames and continued to climb upwards. Then it turned, dived, unfolded its wings, and began a long cruise.

The deck is still covered in thick smoke, but the smoke is no longer black, but a light yellow color, indicating that the propellant technology used in the missile has improved a lot.

"It's so spectacular!" Yang Dawei said excitedly: "It's a pity that it can't be announced. Otherwise, letting the whole world see our advanced weapons from the East will definitely make some people unable to sleep."

"It's not convenient to show it now, it's too advanced." Qin Tao sighed, looking towards the direction where the missile disappeared.

It can no longer be seen with the naked eye, but on the screen of the battle command system on the bridge, that bright spot has always existed. The background is a map. There is a red theoretical route and a green actual route on the map. The green one continues to extend forward. Coinciding with the red one.

Looking at the map on the background, Qin Tao asked curiously: "Go to the middle?"

"Well, go in the middle, chosen by the superiors."

"The radar found that there is a strong electromagnetic radiation source in the east of the missile route." At this time, the radar soldier shouted loudly.

The atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became tense. What should I do?

"Report, we can adjust the shipboard radar to shine all the beams in and try to burn through them!"

"Report, we are not far enough. We should sail at full speed and get closer."

Everyone asked for a fight.

"Call for support." Li Pingfan said, "Call for the J-15D."

In the equipment sequence of the Navy, the J-001 is of great significance. After all, it is the first fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft and a heavy-duty aircraft. Even now, this aircraft is still the carrier-based aircraft with the largest number of equipment, 002 and There are dozens of each on the aircraft carrier.

However, because the trend of stealth aircraft was too strong, the J-15 was soon in an embarrassing situation. After all, it had no stealth properties. Therefore, the navy later purchased mainly the stealth J-32, and now it has begun to purchase the J-20. For the carrier model, orders for the J-15 are already very few.

Therefore, the J-15 has not been improved, and there is no B-type or C-type, so how come there is a D-type?

This is not an English letter, this is Chinese pinyin, which is the initial letter of electronic warfare type. The J-15D is the most important electronic warfare aircraft of the navy!

In the past, we were troubled by some guys' electronic warfare aircraft. Now, the Navy also has its own electronic warfare aircraft, which can also make others suffer. You know how powerful we are!

A plane carrying a large plate was flying in the sky. The small cabin could only accommodate three people. At this time, they looked at the radar screen in front and discussed other things.

"A few foreign girls have come to the bar at the base. Why don't you wait and see?" "You have to be careful, don't let the foreign girls drain you."

"What are you afraid of? In this life... Hey, why is there a snowflake on our radar screen?"

"The snowflakes are just right. Call the base. Our radar has malfunctioned and needs to be returned for repair."

"Hawkeye calls base, Hawkeye calls base."

There was no answer in the earphones, just a tingling sound.

"The data link is not responding either. It seems that we have been interfered with."

"The interference is just right, and it also lets those people know that our outdated equipment should be replaced with new ones long ago."

"What to change? Even if we bring in an E-3, won't we still be disturbed? Our equipment is already out of date. ..."

The early warning aircraft found nothing and began to return. Little did they know that just to the west of them, an advanced anti-ship missile was roaring past.

The missile is almost close to the sea surface and flies at an ultra-low altitude throughout. Only the early warning aircraft can detect it. Of course, if the early warning aircraft is interfered with, it will not be able to detect it.

On the 055 destroyer, the radar scanned that the strong electromagnetic radiation source disappeared, and everyone cheered.

"Our navy is fully equipped, and now we have everything we need." Li Pingfan said: "The changes have been huge in the past ten years."

"The quality is almost there now, and the task for the next period of time is to increase the quantity." Qin Tao said: "When the batch of shield ships at Qiongzhou No. 055 Shipyard is launched, a batch of will be started."

If you want to build an ocean navy, you must have enough numbers. The 052DL has taken shape. What is needed now is mass construction. After the 055 completes sea trials, it will also be built in large quantities. At least eight will be needed. In this way, Enough.

What about waiting until 055 is completed?

It must be a warship with a larger displacement. There is no end to this road, we can only keep catching up and surpassing!

"In the past, I couldn't even imagine that our navy would one day develop to its current size!" Li Pingfan continued to sigh.

"This scale is not big at all. If we want to safeguard our maritime rights and interests, we need a strong enough army! The years are peaceful, but it is only because our soldiers are protecting our homes and our country!"

"Report, a new target has appeared and is approaching us!"

This sea trial has sailed the farthest distance, so it is inevitable that there will be some situations, and Li Pingfan has been prepared for it.

"How far away?"

"Five hundred kilometers."

Five hundred kilometers! Li Pingfan shook his head helplessly: "From now on, there is no need to report targets over 300 kilometers, just close supervision."

There is no way, the radar can see too far, which is also a troublesome thing. It can see the target six to seven hundred kilometers away. The radar operator has been supervising it for a while. He waited until the other party got close to five hundred kilometers before reporting it. Unexpectedly, it still happened. It's early.

If it were a previous warship, the search distance would be more than 100 kilometers. Targets 500 kilometers away have nothing to do with you.

The YJ-18 continues to fly forward, flying steadily through the most complicated sea area, continuing to move forward, and is about to reach the shooting range!

"We are about to enter the final stage, prepare to throw away the second half and sprint."

On the sea, a new missile suddenly fell from the belly of the YJ-18, which was flying steadily. It immediately turned into a rear half shell and fell downwards. This new missile Flames erupted from its tail and began to accelerate.

"It has exceeded the speed of sound!"

"Reaching Mach Two!"

The missile has long flown out of the search range of its own radar. After all, it is flying at ultra-low altitude. However, 055 can still accurately know the situation of the missile. This is of course due to the data link.

For such a long distance, the transmission of data links is also transmitted through satellites in space. In this era, it is no longer a one-man battle, but a confrontation of the entire system!

The missile transmits the data to the satellite, and the satellite transmits it back to 055, so 055 can know where the missile has flown. As for the positioning of the missile itself, it is carried out through Beidou navigation. Whoever occupies space will have a powerful advantage!

Qin Tao also sighed in his heart. He has done a lot in the past ten years. The entire system has been built. It is first-class in shipbuilding, first-class in aircraft manufacturing, and first-class in space exploration!

The missile continued to fly forward, and its speed continued to increase. Finally, when it reached the unnamed island, the speed had reached Mach 3! It swayed its projectile flexibly on the sea surface, performed a skillful S maneuver, and then slammed into the target.

boom!

"Successfully hit the target!"

On the bridge of 055, everyone cheered. The missile hit the target, which meant that the test at sea was a complete success! It means that 055 is one step closer to entering service! This -ton ship can be used as the flagship of the fleet and perform any mission!

"Report, the target has approached three hundred kilometers and is still approaching. Moreover, the target has released a large amount of electromagnetic interference!"

Three hundred kilometers away, starting to play electromagnetic interference? Isn't it too early? Li Pingfan smiled: "Don't worry, let him keep getting closer!"

The joy of success has disappeared, and everyone is nervous again. Next, they will encounter new challenges!

"Do we need to call back the J-15D?" Qin Tao asked. He is a representative of the shipyard. Normally, he shouldn't worry about these things, but now, he, an enthusiastic audience, really wants to participate.

"No need." Li Pingfan said calmly: "Mr. Qin, we have ways to deal with it. If we can't even deal with this kind of thing, how can we be the flagship of the squadron in the future."

If it is an aircraft carrier formation, it will naturally dispatch fighter jets to expel it, but it is impossible for the navy to dispatch aircraft carriers for all matters large and small. The goal of 055 is to serve as the flagship of the squadron, and it also goes to the ocean to perform missions!

055 has no way to operate fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. How to solve these problems?

Of course, it’s all about real ability!

"The target is two hundred kilometers away!"

"The target is one hundred and fifty kilometers away!"

"Attention, prepare to perform a full beam burn-through mission, and prepare all radar arrays on the port side!"

"Understood!" The radar soldier quickly entered the command. At this moment, everyone was full of expectations.

"One hundred kilometers away!"

"Turn on all the formations and burn them through!"

The S-band phased array radar main front on the left side of the 055 bridge, the X-band radar front above the integrated mast on the top of the bridge, the integrated radio frequency antenna below the bridge, the L-band antenna at the rear...any antenna that can hit the target , everything is turned on at this moment!

Tens of thousands of T/R components work at full power, powerful electromagnetic waves fill the sky, and fly towards the target!

At this moment, the lights in the entire warship cabin seemed to dim.

"It still needs all-electric propulsion, so that the power can be easily distributed." Qin Tao muttered: "When the 055 is revised, the Navy must use all-electric propulsion. Really, we have already found a guinea pig and have experimented a lot. But the navy still doesn’t dare to use it.”

The electromagnetic waves are like beams of light, shining at a target a hundred kilometers away. The target is instantly enveloped in a large network of invisible electromagnetic waves...

"The target has flown away, and the flight trajectory is unstable. It dropped to an altitude of more than 500 meters before it stabilized." the radar soldier reported.

"Okay, that's great!" Qin Tao was very excited: "Friends come with fine wine, and financial wolves come with shotguns! We finally have another way to fight!"

"We will probably be scolded for being unprofessional," Li Pingfan said.

"Yes, of course we are not professional. Our warship suddenly broke down and the computer restarted. We don't know what happened." Qin Tao said.

Everyone laughed.

"Will they follow the same pattern and deal with us?"

"How is it possible? We won't fly to their coastline. Moreover, if we want to make such a move, we must have at least four phased array radars irradiating the target at the same time. Just now, our instantaneous transmission power was as high as 15 megawatts. They How old is it? It’s not enough to concentrate the radars on all four sides of Aegis on one side.”
