I built an armada.

After a slight pause, Xu Dongguo continued.

"The frontline has already done this much; now we should seriously consider how to secure our gains!"

"They're still too green to try anything with us."

After exchanging glances, Qian Wenbing and the others began to discuss the matter.

"Now that the war has progressed to this point, it's time to think carefully about how to divide the spoils. The aircraft carrier Fukuno hasn't sunk in the waters of the Eastern Wilderness. We can tow it back, repair it as before, and sell it to someone else."

"That's right. No matter what, it's still an aircraft carrier. Selling it can help subsidize the navy's expenses. But, can we be a little more ambitious? How about bringing back the Enterprise? It's a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, you know."

"A 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is probably not something we can easily get our hands on. The Eagle Tribe will definitely want to go back. If we forcibly drag it back, it will probably drive them crazy. Therefore, we should not even think about it unless absolutely necessary."

"That's right. Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are the face of the US military, and even more so the face of the Eagle Tribe. We can negotiate with them and strive for strategic initiative as long as our territory is not violated."

Even after arguing for a long time, no consensus was reached, and no suitable solution was ultimately found.

Liu Huaming expressed his distress, but then a flash of insight appeared in his mind, as if he had suddenly understood something, and he smiled at everyone.

Seeing the change in Liu Huaming's expression, everyone was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Commander, what happened?" Xu Dongguo asked curiously, frowning.

Liu Huaming immediately said, "You've been arguing so fiercely but haven't come to any conclusion. Have you forgotten that we have a precious person in our lives?"

Xu Dongguo frowned even more: "Who is this 'precious person'?"

They couldn't figure out who this person was or how they had forgotten him.
When the top naval officials hold meetings, isn't it always just a few people like them? Who else has more ideas than them?

Suddenly, the group exchanged glances, and a particular figure immediately came to mind.

Holy crap, he really is a treasure; how could I have forgotten about him?

He was the soul of the naval military industry. The reason why the navy has developed at such a rapid pace is entirely due to him.
Whether it's the Fukuno or the Enterprise aircraft carrier, what exactly is their value? Wouldn't they get a clear answer simply by asking him?

Isn't it much better than these laymen arguing for ages without coming to a single valuable conclusion?
"Commander, how could we forget about him? Dingping is the most qualified to speak on this matter!" Xu Dongguo exclaimed, slapping his thigh suddenly.

Liu Huaming responded with a smile, "As the saying goes, laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Our heated argument here is just watching the show. We should contact professionals to do professional work."

After saying this, Xu Dongguo and the others laughed, their laughter tinged with a mix of joy and self-deprecation.

After a slight pause, he decisively ordered, "Zhang Zhaoxin, contact Dingping immediately."

"Yes, Chief."

At this moment, Zhang Zhaoxin also realized what was happening and immediately took action after receiving the order.

At the same time, it is a naval integrated military factory and nuclear missile research base.

This place is guarded by naval special forces both inside and out. Every soldier is armed to the teeth. It is no exaggeration to say that even a fly would need their permission to fly in.

Inside a research facility, Su Dingping was giving a lecture to Professor Zhao, Guo Xueyun, and others. The content he was explaining was naturally Qian Xuesen's painstaking research results: Lin Sen's ballistic conjecture.

For Professor Zhao, Guo Xueyun, and their group, this was a completely new concept. They had never encountered it before, and could even say they had never studied it in depth. Even if they had learned about it, it was just a technical term.

Now Su Dingping is giving them a systematic explanation because their research has entered a deeper stage, which involves maneuvering and changing the trajectory of ballistic missiles at the terminal stage to achieve continuous tracking of targets. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the Lin Sen ballistic conjecture.

To put it simply, the Linsen trajectory is a huge obstacle standing in the way of these young researchers and professors.

If they don't overcome this hurdle, they naturally won't be able to conduct ballistic missile research as effectively as possible and extend this technology to other branches of the armed forces.

Even reaching the halfway point of the mountain held profound significance for them.

Su Dingping explained in great detail, and naturally slowed down his speech to make sure that Professor Zhao, Guo Xueyun, and others could understand and hear everything.

Professor Zhao, Guo Xueyun, and the others did not disappoint Su Dingping's expectations. They sat there very upright, like primary school students, listening attentively and taking notes from time to time, trying not to miss any details.

It must be said that the learning atmosphere here is very good. It's a bit tense, but it also stimulates everyone's interest and desire to learn. They are especially excited that Su Dingping is sharing all his knowledge with them.

They all knew very well that Su Dingping rarely had the opportunity to lecture, and being able to listen to him in person was considered very lucky. Therefore, everyone racked their brains to learn, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions.

Even though only 20 minutes had passed, they had gained something extraordinary, far exceeding what they usually earned.

Just as Su Dingping was preparing to explain the next topic, Wan Long strode up and whispered in his ear, "President Su, the Navy Headquarters is calling and wants you to answer it."

Su Dingping was slightly taken aback, and immediately put down the documents in his hand, guessing: Could it be that the plan is about to begin?

It was agreed with Liu Huaming beforehand that if he called again, it meant the time was right to launch the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile.

Now, more than twenty minutes have passed, and the Yunfan-2 ballistic missile is ready. It can be launched as soon as the order is given, igniting and soaring into the sky towards the enemy target. The USS Condor, located using the coordinates shared by the Third Combat Group, has been positioned and is now within the Yunfan-2's strike range.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, Su Dingping looked at everyone and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. Now you can all digest what I just said."

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhao and the others all looked like they hadn't had enough, but everyone knew that Su Dingping had something even more important to do next.

After giving his instructions, Su Dingping walked over to Professor Zhang Qianyi and the others, and specifically instructed them: "You organize a team to conduct the final pre-launch checks on Yunfan-2, and make sure everything goes perfectly."

"Yes, President Su!"

Professor Zhang Qianyi immediately accepted the order and began to take action with his men.

They all knew very well that the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles could not afford the slightest mistake; they had to achieve a 100% success rate and ensure that each missile hit its target!
The successful launch of the first Yunfan-3 anti-ship ballistic missile hit its target, greatly encouraging the researchers.

He walked to the side with Wanlong and took the satellite phone from the other party, pressing the answer button without hesitation.

"Sir, Yunfan II is ready. Now we just need to input the approximate coordinates of the USS Bald Eagle aircraft carrier to launch it." As soon as the call connected, after exchanging pleasantries, Su Dingping reported truthfully.

These words greatly stimulated Liu Huaming, shocking him greatly. He did not expect Su Dingping to be prepared so quickly. He dared to say that as long as he agreed, the USS Condor would suffer the same fate as the USS Enterprise.

It has to be said that Su Dingping is truly skilled and daring; he's going to completely destroy the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier.

If they really did that, the Eagle Tribe would probably go completely mad and would have to roll up their sleeves and have a big fight with the Dragon Summer Tribe, a real showdown!
"Dingping, this isn't about that. The time for launch hasn't come yet."

Liu Huaming explained briefly, then changed the subject, "I called you about something else that requires your expertise."

The time isn't right yet? Then let the USS Condor live a little longer, and once the time comes, send it on with an anti-ship ballistic missile. After a brief moment of surprise, Su Dingping became somewhat curious.

"What do you need me to do, sir? Please give me your instructions," Su Dingping said straightforwardly.

Liu Hua was naturally very pleased with Su Dingping's attitude. This young man was so kind; even though he already held an extraordinary position, he still maintained a humble demeanor.

"Here's what happened: we've achieved a phased victory in the war on the front lines, especially with the support of the Yunfan III anti-ship ballistic missiles, which have successfully hijacked the Enterprise carrier fleet..."

Liu Huaming gave a briefing on the situation at the front lines and mentioned the verbal surrender of the Enterprise carrier fleet. His main focus, of course, was to ask Su Dingping how much of a role the Enterprise could play in the development of the navy's aircraft carriers.

Su Dingping suddenly realized that the battle at the front was progressing so smoothly. No wonder they said the time was not yet right to launch the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile. They needed to see how the Eagle Tribe would decide.

Given the opportunity to hijack the USS Condor, Su Dingping immediately envisioned a third-generation top-tier aircraft carrier: a 12-ton nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult carrier.

Based on the information displayed on the aircraft carrier's control panel, it's likely that simply making contact with the USS Enterprise could significantly accelerate the analysis process.

Thinking of these things, Su Dingping's originally calm heart suddenly became excited.

Because once the goal is achieved, it means that the commissioning of the Dragon Summer Tribe's 'third-generation top-of-the-line aircraft carrier' will be brought forward, which can be said to exceed everyone's expectations!
In fact, Su Dingping had this idea when he first acquired the third-generation top-of-the-line 12-ton nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier: if he could board the Eagle Tribe's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, he might be able to greatly advance the technological progress.

Given the nature of the Military Industry Illustrated Forging Space, the first time you come into contact with a physical object, you'll receive an intangible boost to your analysis progress of over 30%. You could say this is essentially exploiting a bug.

Although the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier currently equipped by the Eagle Tribe belongs to the third generation of aircraft carriers, it is still far from the top-of-the-line configuration that Su Dingping wanted. It can be said that the two are products of completely different eras.

Even so, the USS Enterprise still possesses a wealth of technology that can greatly aid in analyzing the 'third-generation top-of-the-line aircraft carrier,' thus making it still valuable.

The core component is naturally the nuclear power plant equipped on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, which is extremely important not only to Su Dingping but also to the entire Longxia tribe.

Nuclear propulsion systems for ships are still nonexistent in the Longxia tribe, so they naturally need to be rebuilt.

Although the Longxia tribe started its nuclear weapons research relatively early and conducted in-depth research, the development of a nuclear power system for ships, such as a pressurized water reactor, was basically carried out from scratch.

Without mastering this core technology, there will be no way to develop the 'third-generation top-of-the-line aircraft carrier' and build the first truly nuclear-powered aircraft carrier belonging to the Longxia Navy.

Of course, it will also be able to smoothly advance the research and development of a new generation of nuclear-powered submarines, so that the Longxia Navy can use nuclear submarines that are even quieter than those of the Eagle Tribe.

He remembered clearly that, according to the Eagle Tribe, the nuclear submarines currently in use by the navy could be detected and locked onto by the Eagle Tribe's west coast as long as they were operating in the naval port.

Aside from issues related to noise reduction technology, the power source is the biggest source of noise, so it must be eliminated!

Therefore, this technology is of great strategic importance to the development of the Longxia Navy, and Su Dingping attaches great importance to it and wants to acquire it as soon as possible.

In Su Dingping's memory, even more than a decade later in his previous life, the Longxia Navy still did not have a single nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which shows how difficult it was to develop a usable nuclear power system.

Therefore, it is the biggest technological weakness.

In reality, it is absolutely impossible to succeed without long-term technical accumulation. Therefore, Su Dingping could only explore on his own, hoping to learn by analogy from the Eagle Tribe and try to pluck all the feathers off its body.

Without relevant technology to reference in reality, Su Dingping could only advance the system's technical analysis process little by little by continuously accumulating related basic scientific research technologies. This was essentially a matter of waiting for the right time, and the analysis speed was extremely slow.

Without nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the navy cannot conduct far-sea operations, much less advance into the waters near the Eagle Tribe to exert military deterrence and exercise freedom of navigation. (End of Chapter)
