I built an armada.

Chapter 875 The most ferocious name of the weapon, to be given by the enemy.
The strategy of strengthening the country through talent may just be a slogan in the mouths of some people!

But Su Dingping truly put his ideas into practice; he aimed to cultivate more top-tier talents.

Only when these talents are trained and become capable of standing on their own will they unknowingly drive the Longxia tribe to leapfrog its top-level technology, instead of remaining in low-end manufacturing and working for developed countries!

Su Dingping has always had a dream: to completely reverse the current situation, to make Westerners work for the Longxia people instead, and to restore Longxia to its position of leading the world in science and technology.

Anyone who has studied history knows that the West has only truly led the world in science and technology for the last five hundred years. For the other several thousand years, the Longxia tribe dominated the world and looked down on the entire planet!
To realize this dream, it is naturally necessary to cultivate more outstanding talents, and he is putting this goal into practice.

Building the Pangu Research Base is just the second step in realizing his dream. Once he has equipped the three armed forces and achieved the new three-step strategy, he will have more energy to cultivate talents of all types, especially those in science and engineering!

"The power of one person can never compare to the power of a team. Only when a large number of talented people emerge can the level of basic scientific research improve."

Su Dingping's goal became clearer, and his expression became more determined: "No matter what, we must increase our efforts in talent cultivation and allocate relevant resources to this area."

"In particular, we need to cultivate a talent succession system; it's not enough for me to do it alone."

At that moment, a more comprehensive talent development plan came to mind. He would first gather a group of experts and professors to train, and then let them train more people.

In this way, life continues and talent is continuously cultivated!
When there was no one to help him, he had to tackle all the technical challenges of the 956E all by himself, which took a lot of time, and the modification and upgrade took even longer.

One after another, there were extremely difficult technologies to tackle. He felt like he had an endless amount of work to do. If this continued, he would probably be so exhausted that he would vomit blood and still not be able to keep up!

Having made up his mind, Su Dingping also came to his senses.

For him, it only took about two or three minutes. He slowly walked to the communicator, turned on the communication channel, and started talking.

He had temporarily turned it off to avoid interference.

His actions prevented unnecessary accidents from occurring, but for Liu Huaming and others stationed at the Beijing naval headquarters, it had a completely different meaning.

Since the communication devices were shut down, they have lost track of the progress at the front and have become anxious.

Of course, they wouldn't blame Su Dingping for suddenly shutting down the communication channel and leaving them hanging.

After all, any interference factor may seem insignificant on ordinary days, but it can be amplified exponentially at critical moments, leading to launch failure.

Xu Dongguo finally couldn't sit still any longer. After glancing at the time, he said, "So much time has passed. There should be results from the front lines by now, right? I wonder what the specific situation is."

"By the way, has there been any news from Cao Youren?" Qian Wenbing asked, frowning.

Xiao Chongjun picked up the conversation, saying, "Not yet."

“We only have radar monitoring data here, but this data cannot monitor the Yunfan II hitting the Condor aircraft carrier. If it had hit an ordinary warship, it would have been a fatal blow, and we probably would have known by now, instead of sitting here anxiously.”

Xu Dongguo picked up the thread and said, "The tonnage of an aircraft carrier is incomparable to that of an ordinary warship. As long as Yunfan II can cripple an aircraft carrier, we will have an aircraft carrier nemesis."

As they discussed this topic, the solemnity between their brows remained unchanged.

Everyone understands the logic, but their tension will not ease until they have confirmed the crucial intelligence that Yunfan II hit the USS Condor.

"Alright, everyone, please wait patiently."

Liu Huaming gestured with his hands to the crowd and said helplessly, "After confirming the results, Dingping will open the communication channel to report the situation to us."

Everyone immediately fell silent, feeling utterly helpless.

Currently, the three armed forces are progressing relatively slowly in terms of information communication, that is, in terms of comprehensive informatization. This has resulted in them being unable to grasp the latest developments on the front lines in the rear in a timely manner.

This is actually a normal phenomenon, after all, the new three-step strategy for the three armed forces has not been proposed for long, only a little over five months.

Prior to this, the three armed forces had only switched from motorization to mechanization, and this was only done in key units and was not rolled out across the board.

In the current situation, we've only taken one step into the threshold of information technology and integration.

This was achieved under the strong promotion of the headquarters leaders. The main reason is that the current level of basic technology is still too poor, and the various infrastructures are not sound enough.

Building a comprehensive information system will take a considerable amount of time. According to Su Dingping's vision, it will take about six months to a year to initially realize military informatization.

"It seems that we still need to make further efforts to promote informatization."

Liu Huaming glanced at everyone and said with great emotion, "Otherwise, those of us who are stationed in the rear will always be one step behind in terms of battlefield information."

"If this continues, we will become out of touch with modern warfare."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and their determination to fully implement information technology as soon as possible was strengthened, thereby achieving interconnectivity among the three armed forces.

A very large information network will be built, and in accordance with the new three-step strategy, each piece of equipment will eventually be transformed into an information node. If necessary, they can even directly issue orders to individual soldiers and to fast boats in any sea area of ​​the navy.

If it really comes to that, then Su Dingping's signal will be shared with them immediately.

Now, all they can do is wait.

Suddenly, the communicator emitted a crackling sound, indicating that the communication channel had been re-established.

Liu Huaming, Xu Dongguo, and the others all focused their attention on it, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

They knew very well that the results from the front lines were in, and next it would be Su Dingping's turn to report to them. Whether the attack hit or not depended entirely on this tremor.

This is a crucial anti-ship ballistic missile. Whether it hits or not will determine how this maritime conflict ends, the future situation in the East China Sea, and whether the Longxia Navy can successfully break through the first island chain!

If they succeed, it means that the Dragon Summer Tribe will have more leverage to compete with the Eagle Tribe and will be able to seize the strategic initiative.

The Eagle Tribe was forced to accept the conditions proposed by the Dragon Summer Tribe, and their bargaining power was extremely weak.

If they fail to hit the target, trouble will follow, and it will be very difficult. The Eagle Tribe's carrier fleet will remain the biggest threat to the navy, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on the existing warships to attack the carrier.

Under these circumstances, maintaining firm control of the USS Enterprise becomes unrealistic. In the power struggle between the two countries, some interests must be sacrificed in exchange for concessions from the other.

The consequences were quite serious, and none of them wanted to see it happen.

As for the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the participating side, Liu Huaming and his group did not take them seriously, since they had already eliminated all those who needed to be eliminated in the first round of conflict.

Given that the participating nations have lost their naval power and have even been terrified of losing their air power, what gives them the confidence to negotiate with the Longxia tribe? What makes them think they can assert their presence?
What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get at the negotiating table—that's an unchanging ironclad rule!

As soon as the call connected, Liu Huaming couldn't wait to ask about the situation, but before he could speak, Su Dingping's voice came through first.

Su Dingping seemed to know they were waiting anxiously.

"Reporting to the commander, the launch process went smoothly."

"Based on the data from various sources, feedback from the information feed compartment installed on the missile, and feedback from the collision signal, Yunfan-2 successfully hit the USS Condor!"

These words were undoubtedly great news for them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease. It was truly a relief!

With a 100% hit rate on both occasions, who dares to claim that Yunfan No. 1 hitting the aircraft carrier was just luck or a coincidence?

Ballistic missiles from all over the world cannot hit aircraft carriers, except for those from the Longxia tribe! And they are 100% accurate!

Don't believe me? Then go ask the captains of the two aircraft carriers that were hit by the Eagle Tribe, and see if they'll take action against you.

No matter how much a new weapon is touted for its powerful performance, its actual combat capability is never determined by data, but by the results on the battlefield and by the enemy!
Normally, weapons and equipment undergo test firings after their creation, but the Longxia tribe directly used the Eagle tribe's aircraft carrier as a target to test the various performance characteristics of its anti-ship ballistic missiles.

In addition to obtaining a large amount of reliable data, it also gave the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles a strong battlefield survivability from the moment they were born, and their actual combat effect was very good!
"Good, good, Dingping, you did a great job, you all worked hard."

Liu Huaming was deeply moved, and his tone became excited as he spoke, "You have made a great contribution, which is truly commendable."

Xu Dongguo and the others sitting nearby were also excited by the news.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dingping continued to report: "Reporting to the commander, after two rounds of live-fire tests, it has been proven that the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles are technically mature and can be put into mass production."

"However, the two launches also revealed some problems, such as the need to improve data sharing, the excessively long communication process, and the unstable signal in terms of information communication..."

"The root cause of these problems lies in the need for computers with ultra-fast computing speeds to process them. These are issues that urgently need to be addressed and areas for improvement."

"I have already had the operational procedures for the two launches, as well as all the related technologies, packaged up, and we are ready to move on to actual combat deployment."

Liu Huaming was overjoyed to hear that the technology was mature enough for mass production.

It can be said that, apart from waiting to see if the anti-ship ballistic missile could hit its target, what he longed for most was whether the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles was technologically mature enough to achieve mass production.

After all, Su Dingping only made three in the first batch, while the Longxia tribe had an extremely vast and complex marine environment, and the Eagle tribe always liked to run around the surrounding waters under the guise of freedom of navigation and cause trouble without restraint.

Seeing that Su Dingping was still so clear-headed, it would be a lie to say that Liu Huaming was not happy. He increasingly felt how wise his decision to bring Su Dingping into the navy had been.

"Dingping, let's not rush things. Don't push yourselves too hard."

Liu Huaming took a deep breath and said earnestly, "You performed very well this time, and Professor Zhang and the others also worked hard. Its success means that we have a trump card weapon, and we will no longer have to fear the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet."

Su Dingping seemed not to hear Liu Huaming's advice and suddenly asked, "Sir, there is also a Yunfan-1 anti-ship ballistic missile with a terminal penetration speed of Mach 13."

"Do we need to assess their combat capabilities? To see if they can intercept us?"

"If needed, I can switch to launch mode at any time."

The three anti-ship ballistic missiles have different speeds and costs, but they are relatively easier for the enemy to intercept.

Of course, this is only relative to the Yunfan-2 and Yunfan-3; as for actually intercepting them, that's probably not so easy. Currently, the fastest anti-missile interceptors don't exceed Mach 6, and they are all used to intercept ordinary ballistic missiles.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huaming's eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly advised, "Dingping, there's no rush. Let's observe how the situation develops first."

"If the Eagle Tribe still doesn't back down, we can use it then, but as things stand, I believe their wishful thinking has been shattered."

"We are in a strategically advantageous position, and now we just wait for them to come to us."

Su Dingping quickly accepted the order and said, "I understand, sir."

Even though he said that, he had already made a decision: regardless of whether or not a launch would take place, Yunfan-1 would be put into launch mode and ready to be launched at any time.
