I built an armada.

Chapter 350: Lack of Firepower Fear is in the Late Stage
At this time, a target 500 kilometers away had appeared on the radar display, an Eagle Tribe Burke-class missile destroyer.

If the Longxia Navy wants to roam the oceans of Blue Star, it is inevitable that it will encounter the Eagle Tribe.

Therefore, Su Dingping selected all the warships of the Eagle Tribe as his targets, and the warships of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force became auxiliary targets.

In the waters of Dongzhou, these two are the two strongest opponents of the Longxia Navy.

All along, the Donghuang Tribe has been unwilling to give up its evil intentions and has been willing to act as a pawn of the Eagle Tribe to curb the rise of the Longxia Tribe and be their watchdog.

In this case, as long as the Eastern Wilderness tribe is not completely destroyed and driven back to the Stone Age, then they will be regarded as imaginary enemies.

Su Dingping’s idea was very simple. No matter which tribe on Blue Star, as long as they hindered the development of the Longxia tribe and were intent on destroying the Longxia tribe, then these tribes were enemies.

"Then don't blame my iron fist!"

Su Dingping glanced at the target and directly pressed the missile launch button.

Three forged Eagle Strike 108A anti-ship missiles have been installed in the vertical launch system. This time he wants to see the overall performance of this missile.

If the design indicators are not met, it will need to be returned to the furnace and reforged.

He still has full confidence in this anti-ship missile, because once it is forged successfully, it will be equivalent to the navy having one more powerful weapon, which can directly increase the range of the missile to 600 kilometers, thus achieving the goal of beyond-visual-range strike.

Moreover, this missile can be installed on the 052D, and combined with the target indication provided by the early warning aircraft, it is entirely possible to extend the strike distance.

Before, Su Dingping thought that a ship was an arsenal and a battle fortress.

Now, he feels that a ship is a combat platform. With the upgrade of weapon performance, increase of power and increase of range, these advanced weapons can be installed on the original ships in return.

In this way, those old ships can regain their youth and become powerful assistants to the main battleships.

It can also deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!
"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, a thick white smoke came out of a vertical launch unit, and then a missile was ejected and suddenly ignited in mid-air.

The rocket engine immediately spewed out a fiery red flame, and the huge thrust enabled the missile to continue to move forward quickly.

After reaching a certain altitude, the missile suddenly made a sharp turn of almost 90 degrees, and then it blasted towards the distant target area. After flying for several kilometers, the first-stage rocket engine was discarded, and it directly entered the cruise phase.

"Mach 0.8 to 0.9 is the speed reached during the cruise phase."

"not bad."

Seeing the feedback data, Su Dingping nodded with satisfaction.

This is no different from the design parameters, and this stage mainly uses turbojet engines to work continuously.

When entering the terminal penetration, the third-stage rocket engine will ignite, boosting the missile's speed to Mach 3, greatly shortening the enemy's reaction time.

Su Dingping felt that it was not satisfying to just look at the data here, so he simply walked out of the main control room. With a slight lift of his feet, he appeared on the deck of the Varyag aircraft carrier on the sea.

He deployed relevant ships along the line where the missiles passed. In addition to high-speed cameras, these ships were also equipped with a lot of observation equipment and data recording equipment.

At the same time, the active phased array radars on these ships can be used to track the missiles throughout the entire process and record the ballistic curves.

It can be said that everything in the virtual space of the military industry atlas was fully utilized by him.

In his eyes, there is not a single superfluous item here.

Soon, the missile descended in altitude.

Based on the data sent back by relevant observation equipment, Su Dingping took a look and found that the aircraft was basically flying at an altitude of 5 to 7 meters over the sea, which also met the design index requirements.

Seeing that the missile was about to reach the terminal penetration stage, he jumped lightly and landed on the deck of the Burke-2 type target ship.

As soon as his feet touched the deck of the ship, he felt a sense of oppression in his heart.

You have to know that he was the target of attack. That was a missile, a powerful weapon capable of destroying ships, and the ammunition alone weighed several hundred kilograms.

Soon the second-stage engine fell off and entered the third-stage power acceleration flight phase, and the speed quickly reached Mach 3.

Looking at the relevant data, Su Dingping was still very happy.

But he wouldn't believe that the first test launch achieved the expected goal.

He is not a god. If he can succeed with just one move, then what is the use of this virtual space?
Even though he was mentally prepared for this, Su Dingping still pursued a good result.

"boom!"

Just as he was looking at the data, there was suddenly a loud explosion and he hurried out to take a look.

Sure enough, the test missile exploded for unknown reasons.

"It's only 375 kilometers, which is more than 500 kilometers away from kilometers, not to mention that the theoretical design value is kilometers."

“It’s really not easy.”

Su Dingping regained his composure and hurried to the observation instrument to replay the final explosion stage of the missile.

In the end, the posture became unstable and swayed severely.

It seems that the solid fuel is not burning completely, resulting in uneven thrust. Could it be that the engine pump is malfunctioning?

After pondering for a moment, he immediately returned to the launch position, directly lifted out the second anti-ship missile with a crane, and used professional equipment to explore the inside of the missile body, especially the third-stage medicine box.

Sure enough, he found some problems, so he quickly dismantled it and readjusted the order of loading the explosives.

He had just discovered the problem by replaying the slow-motion footage, and hoped that the fault could be eliminated after this adjustment.

"Fire again!"

After completing the adjustments, Su Dingping couldn't wait to launch the second round of test firing.

The missile was fired quickly and then entered the cruising phase. Its speed directly exceeded 0.8 Mach and reached about 1 Mach.

This is obviously faster than expected. It seems that the performance of this missile is unstable.

Su Dingping frowned slightly, and soon he saw from the video that the missile suddenly exploded after flying for a while.

"Oh shit, there's another problem."

"Where is the problem this time?"

Su Dingping was quite unhappy. Last time he flew nearly 400 kilometers, but this time he just broke through 50 kilometers. What the hell is the range of a long-range anti-ship missile?

Not as good as the old missiles.

He knew that testing missiles was not that simple. Without hundreds of tests, how could success be achieved so easily?
Su Dingping remembered that he had watched a documentary in his previous life that talked about how hard missile testing was.

Those old military experts tried every possible means to save costs and even used their brains to the maximum extent to think of various ways.

But even so, they still endured tremendous pressure to conduct hundreds of experiments, often risking their lives.

You know, the real world is not a virtual world. Once a person is killed in a bomb, he is dead and no one has a chance to be reborn. The performance is indeed advanced enough, capable of hitting 600 kilometers, and the terminal can also perform serpentine movement to increase the difficulty of being intercepted, but it is still not in the ideal state.

We have failed twice in a row. It’s not a good start.

However, Su Dingping was not easily defeated by failure. Instead, he became more and more courageous.

Seeing that there was still some time left, he simply began to dismantle the remaining missile and turned it into individual parts.

Then he started to organize the design drawings.

Not missing a single detail, he became busy again, and his whole body was immersed in a very mysterious feeling.

This feeling is very enjoyable for Su Dingping, and he can work so hard that he forgets everything else.

Moreover, in the virtual space, he did not feel physical fatigue. Instead, the more he worked, the more excited he became.

"boom!"

Only two days later, a beam of fire shot up into the sky from the virtual missile construction workshop, followed by a violent explosion that not only blew up the entire workshop, but also blew up some buildings in the surrounding areas.

The violent shock wave of the explosion spread out ten kilometers away. Fortunately, he was not at the scene, otherwise he would have been blown to pieces.

Looking at the rising mushroom cloud, Su Dingping, who was holding a folder recording relevant data, felt a little scared.

However, with a wave of his hand, the virtual military factory returned to its original state, and the fully automated production line in the workshop started running again.

"It's quite powerful."

"Fortunately it's not in real life, otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died."

Looking at the workshop that was running at full capacity again, Su Dingping murmured to himself with great emotion.

This is the superiority of the virtual space of the Military Industry Atlas. Not only can missiles and warships be produced here, but also crazy and even suicidal tests can be carried out.

Each test is designed to push the weapon to its limit.

Only after the test here is completed, Su Dingping will take it to reality for manufacturing, and then test it to leave the key data, and then it can be directly put on board to participate in the battle.

The speed is so fast and the process is so smooth.

However, the explosion was not without benefits. With repeated failures, Su Dingping was constantly adjusting parameters and designs, and was getting closer to the final version.

"The 108th test of the Eagle Strike 588A anti-ship missile."

"Officially begin!"

As Su Dingping pressed the red launch button, a missile with a slender body was ejected from the vertical launch pit, then turned in the air, and then descended in altitude to officially enter the cruise phase.

In previous tests, either the speed or height could not be reached, or the terminal penetration could not be achieved. In short, all kinds of strange problems were exposed.

"Everything is going well."

This time, in order to track the missile throughout the entire process, he simply got a drone to take pictures.

The last 150 kilometers entered the final breakthrough stage.

The altitude dropped to five meters from sea level.

The speed soared to Mach 3.

Su Dingping watched the missile flight footage, each stage and each movement, without blinking.

I've failed nearly six hundred times, so I have to succeed this time, right?
"Snake-like movement, very good."

"It avoided the close-in defense system on the warship. It was perfect."

The more Su Dingping looked at it, the more he felt that this missile was infinitely close to the version that could be finally mass-produced, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hard work pays off.

He finally saw hope for the success of this anti-ship missile.

In fact, as a military worker, the most painful thing is that the pressure is increasing with each failed test. At this time, self-doubt will arise, and even the original technical route may be denied.

After all, failing too many times can be a big blow to a person.

In reality, we also have to withstand pressure from all sides, ridicule, and funding issues.

In the virtual space of the military industry atlas, Su Dingping doesn't have to worry about these things at all. He just needs to conduct the test calmly, no matter what the result is.
As long as the technical route is correct, you can stick to it, thousands of times or even tens of thousands of times.

Anyway, there will always be a day of success.

In addition, the time here is not just 24 hours a day like outside. As long as he is doing tests here, time is in an accelerated state.

In this way, the time consumed in testing can be greatly shortened, greatly saving the time cost in reality.

Su Dingping felt that if he did not have the military industry atlas system, he would not dare to easily join the military industry. Even if he joined, his achievements would probably not even be one-tenth of what he has now.

With the virtual space of the military industry atlas, he can soar freely in the ocean of science and technology like a fish, breaking through one bottleneck technology after another.

The Eagle Tribe can hold the necks of other branches of the Longxia Tribe, but not the navy!
"boom!"

The warhead penetrated directly into the middle of the Burke-2 type ship close to the waterline, and a violent explosion sounded, with flames shooting into the sky and smoke filling the air.

Boom!

Suddenly there was another loud bang, and the middle part of the entire ship broke apart directly, suddenly lifted up high, and then smashed down heavily, causing huge waves.

"It finally worked."

Watching the Burke-2 class submarine that was used as a target ship being sunk, Su Dingping finally revealed a rare smile.

Even though this was a success, the performance is still not stable and needs further testing.

In mid-June, Su Dingping finally completed the testing of the new Eagle Strike 6A. After 108 tests, the missile's performance finally stabilized and it was finally worthy of being a long-range strike weapon for a 789-ton destroyer.

As for the Eagle Strike 201A supersonic anti-ship missile, it has not yet been tested.

His current goal is to first make it usable and then improve its long-range attack capability. After all, this is a supersonic anti-ship missile that can strike at a distance of at least 1500 kilometers. It is specially designed to deal with the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carriers. The speed reaches Mach 6 during the entire cruising phase, and the terminal penetration speed soars to Mach 10.

There is no doubt that the difficulty of this missile is completely not on the same order of magnitude as the Eagle Strike 108A.

The next step is to test the new Haihongqi 901B air defense missile. The theoretical design is to achieve a firing altitude of 27KM and an interception speed of more than Mach 6.

Su Dingping directly used high-altitude drones as target aircraft for testing. Anyway, there were many drones of this type in the virtual space, and they had been unlocked.

The drone's maximum ceiling reaches 30KM, and all the missiles currently in service on the blue planet cannot shoot it down.
