I built an armada.

Suddenly, the voice of the staff member in charge of observation broke the silence of the scene!

He reported excitedly, "Sir, based on comprehensive data from all aspects and the feedback of the collision signal, the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile successfully hit the USS Condor!"

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the command hall, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Soon, cheers and shouts resounded throughout the entire hall.

They all knew very well that the Yunfan II missile had hit the USS Condor with incredible accuracy, which demonstrated that the anti-ship ballistic missile technology had reached a very high level of maturity.

Its success also indicates that the Longxia tribe has taken the lead in the world in anti-carrier warfare, and this was achieved even though the Longxia tribe did not have the capability to fight aircraft carriers.

With the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles in place, the waters surrounding the Longxia tribe will henceforth be restricted to the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet. The era of swaggering around here is over!
Su Dingping nodded slightly, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a nice curve, and there was a faint smile on his face. He seemed much more relaxed.

Both shots achieved a 100% hit rate, which even exceeded his expectations!
Based on his extensive calculations, given the current limitations of monitoring methods, the probability of hitting the aircraft carrier in one fell swoop is no more than 80%.

Faced with such an extremely high hit rate, he even doubted whether there was a flaw in his calculation process.

After a moment of contemplation, he realized that it was all because he had overstated the performance data of the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet, that is, he had thought that those 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers used in frontline operations were too advanced.

"It turns out I was imagining the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier as it would be twenty years from now."

Realizing the reason, Su Dingping couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

The aircraft carriers produced twenty years later will be completely different in technology from the current batch. They will be more advanced, with greater maneuverability and more rational design in other aspects.

The key point is that it is more durable. After repeated explosion tests, the aircraft carrier's self-defense capabilities have been elevated to a whole new level.

Using current technology to develop anti-ship ballistic missiles to attack the future aircraft carrier of the Eagle Tribe naturally reduces the probability of civilians being affected.

Of course, the performance indicators of the Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missiles will not remain unchanged, but will continue to be improved in depth over time to fully explore their performance.

In terms of reconnaissance and positioning, more advanced sensors will be added, such as stealth drones, high-resolution satellites and Starlink satellites deployed in space. Even without deploying large warships like 10,000-ton destroyers, enemy carrier fleets will be able to be detected!

In this way, there is no need to test Yunfan-1. The anti-ship ballistic missile technology is mature and can be put into mass production.

After a thorough review of the Yunfan series ballistic missile technology, there are no major issues, and the technology can be frozen at this stage. From now on, it will serve as a trump card weapon to safeguard the maritime security of the Longxia tribe! It is a true national strategic asset!

Su Dingping breathed a sigh of relief; the technology was finally ready to be completed, and he had lived up to his superior's expectations.

However, in terms of naval surface ships, the technology has been stable for some time without any iterative upgrades, so Su Dingping still feels a lot of pressure and urgency.

After all this time, the opponent must not have been idle and is probably conducting targeted research to find ways to overcome the Longxia Navy's technological advantages in stealth and other aspects. Undoubtedly, this behavior is quite dangerous for the Longxia Navy.

He certainly didn't want his actions to cause the enemy to discover and exploit weaknesses in the warships piloted by his naval soldiers when they went out to fight, directly leading to the naval defeat.

Upgrading any type of destroyer, whether it's a 10,000-ton destroyer, a Type 052D destroyer, or other frigates, requires a considerable amount of time. Moving forward further, we'll move on to the development of a new generation of destroyers and frigates.

"No matter when, people are never idle."

Su Dingping gave a wry smile, feeling that he was destined to be a workaholic. "Now we can finally move on to the upgrade and modification of the warships and strive to push various core technologies forward again."

"Time waits for no one."

However, he was also well aware that even if all the core technologies of the fourth-generation warship were analyzed, the current basic technological level and shipbuilding technology of the Longxia tribe would not be able to build it.

Even on the entire planet Earth, no country has the technological level to produce such a warship. The more advanced detection capabilities, electronic warfare capabilities, and other aspects of the fourth-generation warship all require a strong electronics industry and other advanced industries as a foundation.

"It seems that we cannot focus our time on analyzing the core technologies of fourth-generation warships, but must instead be pragmatic."

Su Dingping took a deep breath and finally made the corresponding decision: "Time is still too precious for the navy and cannot be wasted."

"Time should be spent on the right technologies; we can't expect too much."

Instead of aiming too high and wasting too much time analyzing fourth-generation ships, it would be better to focus on the technical analysis of third-generation top-of-the-line nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The navy has developed to the current scale and needs a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with strong combat capabilities.

The navy has also used the existing Liaodong-class corvette to train a group of personnel. He remembered that Chief Liu Huaming had mentioned it before, and after all, it cost a lot of money to buy it back.

Now, with the Yunfan series ballistic missiles as a trump card weapon, coupled with the ever-expanding naval fleet, the Longxia tribe should be able to safeguard its maritime rights for a certain period of time.

It can also completely stop the enemy from invading the Longxia tribe from the sea, and completely shatter all of the enemy's adventurous actions!
This would give Su Dingping ample time to dedicate himself to researching the relevant technologies of the 'third-generation top-of-the-line nuclear-powered aircraft carrier' and accelerate its development.

Having an aircraft carrier is what makes a nation worthy of its status as a major power's navy, especially for a superpower like the Longxia Tribe!

Of the five leaders of the Blue Star Alliance, only the Dragon Summer Navy currently lacks a usable aircraft carrier and has not joined the aircraft carrier player club. This is its biggest weakness and must be addressed.

Having a truly combat-capable aircraft carrier has been a century-long dream for the people of Longxia. Countless people have tried to build it, only to have their efforts ultimately come to naught. Su Dingping felt it was his duty to build it, because he was not only the chief designer of naval equipment but also the designer of equipment for all three branches of the armed forces. Once the third-generation top-of-the-line nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was mastered, many of its technologies could be disseminated and applied to the army, air force, and even the rocket force.

It can be said that this project has a very strong technological driving force, and there can be absolutely no delay.

Of course, having an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is useless.

Fortunately, after in-depth research and technical analysis of a series of fighter jets such as the J-10, F-16, F-15 and Su-27, he has made progress in the research of advanced carrier-based aircraft. If he boards the USS Enterprise this time, he will definitely study the F-18 Super Hornet, the most advanced carrier-based aircraft currently equipped by the Eagle Tribe Navy.

Once the capabilities of the Eagle Tribe's advanced carrier-based aircraft are fully understood, targeted countermeasures will be able to be taken should a maritime conflict arise between the Dragon Xia Navy and the Eagle Tribe Navy in the future.

Besides carrier-based fighter jets, we also need to utilize a series of advanced technologies, such as the E-2 carrier-based early warning aircraft and dedicated electronic warfare aircraft.

"Great Chief, I will absolutely not make full use of this opportunity to board the ship and absorb and master all the technologies on your aircraft carrier."

Su Dingping's lips curled into a strange smile, and he looked forward to boarding the Enterprise aircraft carrier even more. "A 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, I must say, is truly a huge treasure trove of technology."

"I hope to help the successful technical analysis of the third-generation top-of-the-line nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. I can't wait to see the Longxia tribe's own aircraft carrier launched."

Aside from the technical analysis of the aircraft carrier, the development of hypersonic anti-ship missiles for 10,000-ton destroyers has also been arranged, and significant technological progress has been made.

Before the technology is implemented, he needs to focus on research. Fortunately, he has the magical artifact of the Military Industry Illustrated Forging Space. Otherwise, relying solely on his limited lifespan, he probably wouldn't be able to develop all these technologies, even if he were to blow up his cylinder.

The subsequent military research and development tasks are still very heavy, and he cannot afford to relax even slightly.

Fortunately, Su Dingping is young and energetic enough to have plenty of time to develop these technologies.

As he was making arrangements for the next steps in his mind, he suddenly heard Professor Zhao's slightly hoarse voice.

"Commander Su, is our anti-ship ballistic missile technology considered mature now?"

Coming to his senses, Su Dingping smiled at the other person and said, "That's right, it's matured, but there are still some details that need further improvement. Overall, there aren't any major problems."

"With the improvement of our basic industrial level, the further advancement of our scientific and technological level, and the full-scale application of information technology, the cumbersome launch process can be greatly simplified."

"At this point, we can truly achieve 'detect and destroy' without needing warships to locate us at sea."

For him, technological maturity meant that outdated technology could be handed over to others, such as Professor Zhao and others, for further in-depth research and development, and to spread the technology to other fields.

This is why, even with a heavy workload of research projects, he still makes time to teach Professor Zhao and young scientists like Guo Xueyun.

The overall improvement of scientific and technological level cannot be achieved by one person alone; it requires the joint efforts of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of scientific and technological workers to improve their research capabilities.

Just now, Su Dingping also summarized that the reason why the two Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missiles were able to hit the target was largely due to the target location by the three major naval combat groups that were deployed forward, and there was also a certain element of luck involved.

If the naval battle had taken place during the day instead of at night, wouldn't the forward-deployed naval fleet have been more easily detected by enemy reconnaissance satellites and aircraft? Wouldn't that have put those forward-deployed ships in danger?
War is a matter in which there is absolutely no room for luck!

Therefore, he needs to develop more advanced reconnaissance equipment, preferably unmanned, so that even if the enemy discovers it, there will be no loss of personnel.

Hearing Su Dingping say these words, Guo Xueyun and the others became even more excited, their smiles growing even brighter. For them, this was a momentous occasion.

They had only come to see the incredibly mysterious ballistic missile launch site to boost their confidence in engaging in military research.

Little did they expect that they would witness such a grand banquet!

For Professor Zhao and other senior experts, however, it was a different story; they were filled with mixed emotions.

They all felt that, in the latter half of their lives, they had finally witnessed the birth of a national weapon of mass destruction for the Longxia tribe, a killer weapon specifically designed to hunt down aircraft carriers.

From now on, they will never have to see the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet come to their doorstep to show off their power again. How triumphant this is!

Most importantly, it greatly inspired them, generated many new ideas, and opened up a whole new field of scientific research, which greatly excited them.

In their minds, ballistic missiles were previously used to strike fixed targets, and those with a slightly longer range were equipped with nuclear weapons. But now they are being used conventionally and can even attack moving targets at sea!

This effectively broadened the application scope of ballistic missiles and further explored their performance.

Seeing that everyone was reflecting amidst their excitement, Su Dingping felt that his efforts in bringing these people over had not been in vain.

The rise of the Longxia tribe requires a large number of talents, especially top talents of the younger generation. Su Dingping is well aware that it is far from enough for him to fight alone.

In this way, he needs to lend a helping hand to these emerging young talents and outstanding experts, so that they can keep up with his pace, and then take over the cutting-edge technologies he has developed, thoroughly understand them, and transform them into more practical applications.

At all times, he only played a guiding role, developing advanced technologies and then handing them over to Professor Zhao and others to spread and popularize them! (End of Chapter)
