I built an armada.

Chapter 333 Dingping, the Army Needs You Too
If the power of this bow cannon alone is truly unleashed, it would probably be equivalent to at least two artillery battalions.

It's just a naval gun.

“This is just our future research direction.”

Liu Huaming was also shocked by the model sketch of the 10,000-ton destroyer on the wall, but he still subconsciously took over the conversation and almost rushed to speak.

He regrets it now.

If he had known that there was such a sketch hanging in Su Dingping's office, he would definitely not have brought Deng Zhenhua to Su Dingping's office.

"Oh my god."

Deng Zhenhua came closer and looked at the sketch of the 10,000-ton destroyer. Even though he was very cunning, his defenses were broken at this moment.

"My God, your navy has come this far?"

"This, this is a guided missile destroyer? Its displacement has reached a terrifying 12,000 tons? And it has an integrated hull configuration. I can guarantee that this ship's combat power is definitely ranked first on Blue Planet!"

“I’m afraid even if the Eagle Tribe’s navy ships come, they will have to go around them.”

"Are these active phased array radars? When did this kind of radar, which is almost black technology, become so cheap?"

In order to make sure he was not dazzled, Deng Zhenhua carefully counted the integrated mast, the bridge, and the hull with his fingers on the sketch, but found that he could not count them clearly.

On one side alone, there are ten arrays of different sizes, as well as some unknown blocks.

When he thought that the army was still using a radar antenna that looked like a pot lid, he felt a little bitter in his heart. He used to think that the army's technical equipment was very advanced.

Now it seems that he found that he was too narrow-minded.

So he turned his head and glanced at Liu Huaming, thinking, this Old Liu is really good at keeping secrets. He has kept such important news secret until now.

If I don't propose to show the integrated military factory today, I'm afraid the other party will keep it secret from me for a long time, right?

However, thinking of the radar arrays on the 052D, Deng Zhenhua felt that it was understandable that this -ton destroyer had more plate radars, but he did not expect there would be so many.

The two ships are totally not of the same generation.

After this 10,000-ton destroyer was launched, he dared to say that in terms of combat power, it was definitely the best on Blue Star!

Therefore, he became more determined to recruit Su Dingping to the army to work for a period of time no matter what. As for the cost of more than 15,000 skilled technical engineers, he felt that this was the most cost-effective deal.

Even if he gave all of it to Liu Huaming in exchange for Su Dingping, he would be very happy!
Before Su Dingping came, he knew better than anyone what the navy was like, but now it has completely transformed into a better navy!

"So many vertical launch systems, a total of 800? The diameter of the pit is millimeters, and the depth is meters?"

"Fuck, the long-range air defense missiles they built can reach a range of 500 kilometers and a firing height of 22 kilometers?"

"The anti-ship missiles also reached at least five times the speed of sound. It's crazy. It's really crazy."

Seeing the relevant data, even though Deng Zhenhua was a shrewd man, he was shocked again and couldn't help but swear.

"Our army's longest-range missile can't reach that high, right? This is the Hongqi air defense missile you transferred to us. Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"

"Are they secretly upgrading their products behind our backs again?"

"Of course it is. Well, you have come to this point accidentally. I don't care. We also need to upgrade the anti-aircraft missiles there."

He is not a fool. The fact that he can post the sketch proves that there has been a new breakthrough in air defense missile technology.

Then their previous Hongqi air defense missile was not good enough and was obviously outdated.

Longer-range missiles mean that the invading enemy can be eliminated at a farther distance, and the Eagle Tribe recently proposed an out-of-area strike, which made him inevitably a little anxious.

If the air defense missile can hit a target 500 kilometers away and its altitude is still 22 kilometers, how can you defend outside the zone?
I'm afraid even the early warning aircraft hiding behind can be taken down, not to mention the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, that's even easier.

Liu Huaming was completely distracted at this moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Before, he had only heard seriously about the plans that Su Dingping had drawn, but they were far from being so detailed. When did such detailed data become available?
If Deng Zhenhua hadn't been so noisy and reacted so violently just now, he would hardly have noticed that the 10,000-ton destroyer hanging on the wall was marked with such detailed weapon data.

Once he set his eyes on someone, Liu Huaming could no longer move his eyes, as if he was fixed there.

Isn’t this too advanced?
The 10,000-ton destroyer has phased array radars all over its body, the exact number of which is impossible to count.

As the head of the navy, he has done in-depth research on some of the equipment on the ships. Naturally, he knows that once these phased array radars are linked together and used, the energy they unleash will be terrifying.

It is definitely a super powerful electromagnetic microwave weapon that can burn the enemy to death.

Originally, with the 052D in the front, he expected that the -ton destroyer should be stronger, but he never expected it to be so advanced.

"Ding, Dingping, you didn't tell me that our 10,000-ton destroyer would be so advanced."

Liu Huaming turned his head and looked at Su Dingping, and at this time Deng Zhenhua also looked over.

The two of them just stared at Su Dingping as if he were a monster.

Su Dingping felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and felt extremely helpless inside.

Is it necessary to be so excited?

This is just an average level. In the past, 10,000-ton destroyers were almost reaching the second generation.

Aren’t air defense missiles able to strike 500 kilometers away and reach a height of 22 kilometers?
This is not going anywhere.

This is basic operation, basic configuration, okay!
A 10,000-ton destroyer must have some cargo.

However, he also felt deeply moved that Liu Huaming's generation had a very difficult life, whether in the navy, the army or the air force.

Even so, they still live stubbornly, and in the absence of advanced weapons and equipment, they use their flesh and blood to protect the interests of the Longxia tribe.

We suffered a lot in order to research advanced air defense missile systems.

"That chief, you didn't ask me these things at the beginning."

Su Dingping quickly explained, "Some core technologies are still in the research stage and will take some time. Currently, it is just an idea and direction."

"So, I think it's too early to report, and you don't really believe it."

Liu Huaming originally wanted to refute, but when he heard Su Dingping's next words, a slightly awkward smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It was true. It was impossible for him to believe something he had no concept of.

So, he turned around and looked at the model of the 10,000-ton destroyer again, and carefully looked at the data marked by Su Dingping. He actually felt reluctant to put it down.

After a while, Liu Huaming came back to his senses, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and looked at Su Dingping again.

"Dingping, how about you give me a copy of this sketch? I'll take a good look at it when I get back."

"You said that this is our first warship that truly leads the world trend. It is our dreadnought-class battleship."

Liu Huaming's words surprised Su Dingping that the other party actually remembered what he had said casually.

"What's wrong, Chief?" "I'll take it back and hang it in my office. I'll look at it when I have nothing to do."

"No problem, Commander. We just happen to have an extra copy. I'll have Captain Wan bring it to you later."

Faced with Liu Huaming's request, Su Dingping naturally would not refuse, which made Liu Huaming very excited.

"It's a worthwhile trip."

"Dingping, you've given me another big surprise."

In fact, Liu Huaming cannot be blamed for losing his composure like this. It is really that the performance of the 10,000-ton destroyer is too advanced, and all indicators have made epoch-making progress.

The data on paper alone was enough to scare the army chiefs. If the 10,000-ton destroyer was launched, wouldn't it cause an even bigger sensation around the world?
Make a sketch like this and look at it from time to time to satisfy your curiosity.

Unconsciously, he was already thinking about forming a new fleet with 052-ton destroyers and 052D and C.

Such a fleet sailing on the sea must be very spectacular and impressive.

As he thought about it, a happy smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

As the head of the navy, at this moment he felt extremely lucky and was a lucky man blessed by God.

"Old Liu, what have you thought of that makes you so happy?"

Suddenly seeing a rare smile on Liu Huaming's face, Deng Zhenhua couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

How could he not know what was going on in Liu Huaming's mind at the moment?

Only the word "envy" can describe his state of mind at the moment.

"I want you to manage."

Liu Huaming responded unhappily.

"Dingping."

Deng Zhenhua didn't look angry at all. Instead, he looked at Su Dingping with an extremely fiery gaze.

Thinking back to the last time he saw the 052D, its tall and mighty appearance, he was truly filled with emotion.

It has only been a short time, but the Navy's next-generation 10,000-ton destroyer has already been designed. If the pace continues, it will be ready within two years.

His understanding of Su Dingping became deeper, and he had a stronger desire to poach Su Dingping.

"When you're done with the 10,000-ton destroyer, why don't you visit our army when you have time?"

"We are very interested in the ballistic missile you proposed for attacking warships. I just saw your missiles and found a ship-launched version. Is that also under development?"

Deng Zhenhua smiled and said, "For example, for your missile, we can cooperate in development first, and the military expenditure will be sufficient. Of course, if you come over, you can spend as much as you want on the military expenditure."

His idea was actually very simple. The two sides would start with project cooperation and then slowly build up momentum. Mentioning that military funds were sufficient also demonstrated his clear attitude and full sincerity.

Anyway, even if Liu Huaming objected, he couldn't say anything.

Su Dingping turned his head to look at Liu Huaming, but saw no expression on his face.

Previously, due to the need to borrow people from the army, Liu Huaming naturally could not express his opinion at this time, and originally let Su Dingping perform on his own.

But since Deng Zhenhua had said so much, Liu Huaming had no choice but to speak up: "Dingping, since Old Deng has invited us, it is not impossible for both parties to cooperate. As for the form of cooperation, Old Deng, just say whatever you want, I will definitely not stop you."

At the moment he was extremely anxious. He understood what Deng Zhenhua meant. It was obvious that he was trying to poach people right in front of him.

Su Dingping's importance to the navy is self-evident.

He simply went for it and kept hinting at Su Dingping with his eyes, hoping that he would not agree so easily.

Seeing Liu Huaming's gesture, Su Dingping sighed helplessly.

"Commander, I don't have time recently. In addition to the 10,000-ton destroyer, I am also working on the continued construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier."

"I need to keep an eye on all of these, please forgive me, Chief."

Deng Zhenhua naturally knew that the Varyag aircraft carrier had been towed into the Northern Shipbuilding Base and entered the dock to begin continued construction.

"Don't worry, finish the things at hand first."

"We still have some means to attack warships."

"If there's a shortage of manpower one day, just tell me directly and I'll provide enough. You don't have to spare Lao Liu or go through so much trouble."

"After I go back, I'll have my subordinates sort it out so you can get started right away when you arrive."

Having said this, Deng Zhenhua turned his head and looked at Liu Huaming next to him.

"Old Liu, don't you think so?"

How could Liu Huaming not understand what the other party meant, but he didn't want to respond to him at all.

"Okay, that's it."

"Dingping, we won't disturb you from continuing your research."

After saying that, Liu Huaming forcibly pushed Deng Zhenhua out of Su Dingping's office and quickly walked downstairs to the research institute before letting go.

All the required personnel have been finalized, and the two of them can be said to have returned with a full load.

"Old Deng, what do you mean? Do you have any shame?"

Liu Huaming stared at Deng Zhenhua with dissatisfaction, his fists clenched.

"Old Liu, your attitude when asking for help is not good."

"When you came to us to beg for military funds before, your attitude was very nice. Why are you so angry today?"

Deng Zhenhua responded nonchalantly, but the smile on his lips betrayed his inner ecstasy.

So what if Liu Huaming hides well?
Didn’t I discover this great treasure, Su Dingping?
In the future, he will operate it well and further strengthen bilateral joint research projects. Even if he fails to poach people, he can let the army get a share of it and further promote the army's armament construction.

The army has had many talented people in recent years, but many of them are too conservative. On the other hand, the warships developed by Su Dingping are more advanced than the previous generation, and the 10,000-ton destroyers are going to lead the development trend of Blue Star warships. What a great vision and ambition!
On the other hand, which of the army's current main combat equipment and the equipment under development is not closely following the world trend rather than leading the trend?
Ultimately, it is because there are no strategic-level scientists like Su Dingping.

Just having Mr. Qian is far from enough.

"You...are shameless!"

Liu Huaming was so angry that he almost jumped up three feet high, but he finally suppressed himself and cursed angrily,
The army chief didn't care about this. Instead, he just laughed it off. He was very happy.

Afterwards, Wan Long personally brought a rough drawing of a 10,000-ton destroyer and handed it to Liu Huaming.

Without opening it to look at it, Liu Huaming held the suitcase containing the sketches tightly in his hands, and the joy in the corners of his eyes overflowed.
