Chapter 840 Lively
On August 1, 1988, a piece of news was released in some Eastern countries.

The 054 missile destroyer has officially entered service, which is very different from history.

First, a phased array radar system was adopted, and vertical launch devices were developed. There are four in the front and twelve in the back, a total of 16 vertical launch devices. Each vertical launch device has six pits and can launch cruise missiles, as well as air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles.

As well as anti-submarine equipment, the rear deck is capable of taking off naval-type helicopters.

Historically, the 054 could not take off large helicopters, only small helicopters.

The reasons for this in history were, on the one hand, the small size of the ships themselves, and on the other hand, the lack of excellent and reliable marine helicopters.

Today's helicopter technology is far ahead, and helicopters must be taken into consideration during the design process because they have unparalleled advantages in anti-submarine warfare.

Of course, helicopters are not only used for anti-submarine operations, they can also be equipped with radars and used as early warning aircraft.

In fact, through the data link, all the equipment on the entire ship can be integrated, allowing the helicopter to act as an eye to detect enemy targets earlier.

Of course, there is more than one radar. There are air defense phased array radars, sea-anticipation radars, fire control radars, and so on.

It is also equipped with an anti-UAV system, a 24mm multi-barrel machine gun, and multiple small air defense missiles!

This multi-barrel machine gun is a close-range weapon, which uses machine guns to intercept flying motorcycles.

This small air defense missile is modified from a single-soldier air defense missile. It is mainly used to deal with helicopters, flying motorcycles, and for short-range air defense.

Individual air defense missiles can be loaded repeatedly.

The standard displacement is 4500 tons and the full load displacement is approximately 6000 tons.

It uses gas turbine propulsion technology and has a maximum speed of 31 knots.

The range can reach about 4000 nautical miles!

The first Type 054 to enter was the East China Sea Fleet. Liu Hai saw the news on the mountains in Hainan.

The overall performance parameters are much lower than those of the Arleigh Burke class announced by Bald Eagle.

The standard displacement of the Arleigh Burke-1 class is more than 6000 tons, and the full load displacement is more than 8000 tons.

Later, the maximum displacement of the Arleigh Burke class could reach nearly tens of thousands of tons.

054 is just a transitional model used to verify equipment!
The above equipment will be gradually optimized in subsequent use verification and eventually form the second-generation missile frigate.

This marks an important milestone in my country's naval modernization efforts.

This news also attracted attention internationally, but it was relatively limited.

First of all, Fat Bear and we do not share any ocean borders, and Fat Bear is now busy with reforms, and a bunch of elites are busy figuring out how to put these things into their own pockets.

Then how to move closer to the West, and as for what is happening in the far East, they just don't care at all.

Moreover, the Peter the Great cruiser that Fei Xiong is developing has much more impressive parameters than this. There are 400 missiles on one cruiser, and it is nuclear-powered with a displacement of more than 2 tons.

Therefore, Fat Bear doesn’t even take the 054 of some Eastern countries seriously.

As for Europe, it is now busy developing the Internet.

Europe is now trying to promote the Internet to the world because the wealth of the Internet is built up by users.

What Europe is promoting now is the international Internet, which connects one country after another through submarine optical cables.

What China Unicom is talking about is not a country, but an undeveloped Internet market.

As long as a country is connected and the Internet of that country is connected, the valuation of the entire game company or other companies will skyrocket.

Internet optical cables from Europe to Asia will connect all coastal regions and countries.

Anyone who stands in the way of the international Internet will be standing against this group of European capitalists.

The two countries of Taurus and Gallicus each have three aircraft carrier fleets, while some countries in the East only have destroyers in service, not aircraft carriers.

The bald eagle is busy fighting against European forces in South America.

With so many countries and such a large population in South America, how much wealth will be brought by developing the Internet?

The Bald Eagle will definitely not give up such a large market, and it is so close to itself!
However, it is difficult to reach a consensus on this issue in Bald Eagle country.

Because the consortium within Bald Eagle also has investments in the European Internet.

Moreover, large conglomerates like dealers also have a lot of investments within Bald Eagle.

This made it impossible for many resolutions of the Bald Eagle government to be passed.

Although Xiao Benzi yelled for a while, he stopped when he saw that no one paid attention to him.

Moreover, although the 054 looks good, it is much inferior to the Bald Eagle and the Arleigh Burke-class that is about to be put into service.

Liu Hai was a little surprised by this international reaction, as he had thought it would attract international attention.

I didn't expect that everyone was busy with their own things and no one cared at all.

As long as the class committee members don’t say anything, what others say is just bullshit.

The old leader had known the news for a long time, two months ago, so there was no surprise.

In fact, the navy feels a bit confused now, because it seems like there are no opponents.

The ball flow is in charge now, the island is back, the construction of the southern islands is constantly increasing, and our engineering team is also at the port of Xiaobenzi.

Looking around, there is harmony everywhere, without any discordant sounds.

Except for the occasional fleet of bald eagles passing by, they seemed to be showing off their might.

Of course, it's just on the surface. Ever since the last time the Bald Eagle's aircraft carrier had its deck hit by a flying motorcycle, it has been much more low-key.

Even the Air Force is the same. Within the combat radius, it seems that no one is dissatisfied.

Of course, equipment is a must, because the earth's oceans are so vast, you still need to go out and travel.

Others can go shopping everywhere, but why can’t I?

So the 054 caused quite a stir in China, but no one paid any attention to it internationally.

Only Liu Hai knew that some of the performance of this ship might be even higher than that of the Bald Eagle.

Especially in terms of information processing speed and computer performance.

If a ship wants to respond quickly and command various weapons and arms on board, it relies on the information processing center.

The information processing center uses military Loongson chips, all of which are dual-core, low-energy consumption and powerful.

FiberHome Technologies has already started developing quad-core chips, which will be mainly used in servers and some powerful mobile devices.

The stronger the chip's computing speed, the faster it can process information. For example, if a dual-core chip is used to detect the same target at the same distance, it may take 6 to 8 seconds to calculate the result, while a quad-core chip can save a lot of time.

All equipment on the ship depends on the response speed of the information computing center.

The radar captures suspicious signals, and then the radar's information system analyzes the signal characteristics, and then transfers these signal characteristics to the information processing center, which matches the signal characteristics and then assigns the corresponding weapon system. If one link can be faster, the entire link will be faster.

Because these targets are often captured at very fast speeds, if a fighter jet is flying at supersonic speeds, the ship's chance of survival increases with one extra second of reaction time.

There are also anti-ship missiles and supersonic anti-ship missiles, which are also very fast. The faster the ship's response speed, the higher the chance of interception.

What is important about a ship is not how many missiles it carries, but its hit rate and its interception rate.

Even if we bring hundreds of missiles, it will be useless if the radar system and defense system are not good enough.

In addition, 054 uses our own Beidou navigation system, which already has 8 satellites and can initially achieve global positioning.

Generally speaking, three satellites are enough for positioning.

Of course, global real-time positioning cannot be achieved at present, because there are few satellites in the sky, which will cause some gaps.

This is what we call refresh time. Now there are fewer satellites and the refresh time interval is relatively long.

In fact, the refresh interval of early GPS was also relatively long.

After more than 20 satellites are launched, real-time positioning will be possible around the world.

There is no problem at all for maritime navigation.

Similarly, Europe's Galileo navigation system has also begun to be used.

"I can work on the navigation system when I go back!" After seeing the news, Liu Hai decided to go back and work on the navigation system.

The current navigation system market is not as large as people may later imagine. It is currently mainly used by ships and ports.

Who could have imagined that navigation systems would penetrate the entire Internet industry in the future?

And if I arrive in an unfamiliar city in the future, I will not be able to find the direction without turning on the navigation.

In early August 1988, Liu Hai bid farewell to Hainan and returned on the C8 plane.

After returning to Kyoto, I started to deal with the things that had piled up over the past month.

Fenghuo Technology Company Liu Hai looked at the first half of the year performance.

"Good!" The shipment volume of the second generation Panda computers has gradually increased, and the shipment volume of the first generation Panda computers has not decreased much.

Why the shipment volume of the first generation of Panda computers did not decrease is because the price was reduced.

For most companies, the first generation of Panda computers are more than sufficient for office use.

For beginners with limited funds, the first generation of Panda computers is enough.

The main customers of Panda 2nd generation computers are high-income people, followed by Internet cafes.

In addition, some scientific research institutions use Panda II computers. The graphics processing speed of Panda II computers is used for related graphic design, engineering design, and mechanical design.

Of course, Panda computers are not produced by Fenghuo Technology Company, but by a special computer manufacturer. Fenghuo Technology Company charges patent fees according to the production quantity.

In fact, this is the most friendly to Liu Hai. If you want to start your own company and produce a certain number of computers a year, you will need a huge management organization and a large number of employees.

Similarly, the shipment volume of Panda mobile phones is also growing steadily. On the one hand, the price has been reduced, and on the other hand, more and more people are using it.

Of course, the more mobile phones are shipped, the more communication equipment is shipped.

"Boss, there's a rather special order from Europe!" Ni Nan saw that his boss had finished reading the financial statements for the first half of the year, so he took a copy of the document.

"Huh? Don't they do it themselves in Europe?" Liu Hai was a little surprised after seeing the information.

Europe's special order is for the ground equipment of the Galileo navigation system. To be more precise, it is ordering a chip that can be used in the military.

There are huge differences between military chips and civilian chips.

Because the usage environment of military equipment is very complex and it cannot be placed on a table like a civilian computer.

Parameters such as shockproof and moisture-proof are much higher.

For example, if a tank uses civilian chips and is hit by an enemy shell during a war, the huge shock force may cause the civilian chip to crack directly or have poor contact, thus rendering the equipment unusable.

Similarly, these equipment on ships must also consider the environmental impact caused by long-term service at sea.

There is also the influence of temperature. After all, combat equipment cannot fight in the same place.

"Why don't they design it themselves?" Liu Hai asked.

“Without the relevant personnel, some people in Europe wanted to produce computers themselves, but they gave up after consulting professionals!”

"There are hundreds of supply chain manufacturers behind each computer, and there are not enough supply chain manufacturers in the whole of Europe."

“There are some supply chain manufacturers in Europe that can provide some components, but European manufacturers are located in various countries and are relatively scattered.”

"The upstream and downstream industrial chains of a computer require millions of workers, and the most critical thing is that there is a lack of relevant technical talents."

"The most popular major in Europe right now is computer software, and many college students switch to this major midway through their studies."

"More people are taking software training courses and joining the software industry."

"It's not that we don't have talent in chip design, but we have many patents in reduced instruction set chips. If they want to redesign a reduced instruction set chip and make it usable in current equipment, it will take time and money."

"It will probably take several years for them to successfully manufacture the chips they designed, and by then they will be out of date."

"Intel's chips consume a lot of energy, and these navigation devices all use embedded chips. Besides, Europe uses embedded chip standards."

After hearing this, Liu Hai finally understood that some people in Europe wanted to develop computers, but could not do it because now everyone in Europe wants to develop software!

Besides, if you really want to develop the entire chip and computer industry chain, the investment will be huge. You may not be able to compete with Panda Computer, and you may not be able to develop it at all, because you don’t know whether the chip you want to make will infringe on the other party’s patents.

Panda Computer is now a very large interest group. The computers use a lot of materials, all of which are purchased from all over the world.

Most of these companies are in Europe, and in order to transport these materials back to the country, they have to go through ports and by sea, which are the businesses of some merchants.

After being produced domestically, computers are shipped to all parts of the world, which is another industry.

Then after the computers arrive in various countries, local dealers will sell them, which is also an industry.

After the computer is sold, after-sales maintenance is another business.

There are already enough people in the interest chain of Panda Computer, not to mention that Panda Computer already has a mature software ecosystem. Others just make computers and want to access this ecosystem. This is the Internet standard. If you want to access the Internet, you have to use Panda Computer's related patents...

That is to say, even if someone is able to make a computer, they will eventually find that they still have to pay patent fees to Fenghuo Technology Company.

Otherwise, there is no way to access the Internet. This is the advantage of setting standards.

"Then customize it for them and have it developed by a laboratory in Europe, using our existing chip technology." Liu Hai made the decision.

"We also need to make our own navigation equipment. I will write a plan later." Liu Hai said again.
