I built an armada.

Chapter 311: The Ten Thousand Ton Expedition Can Unlead the Blue Star
"With the current industrial level, it cannot keep up with the construction progress of new warships. Naturally, the cost of this production line may be doubled than previously expected."

"In a word, our navy owes too much, and everything we do now is to make up for the shortcomings of the past."

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Su Dingping spoke again. He must make everyone understand that the current military expenditure is not worth their excitement.

In order to build a powerful modern navy, there was basically no investment before. The basic expenditure of personnel has been maintained for decades. As for the advanced ships, not a single one has been added.

Donghuanghai has definitely spotted this opportunity. They want to complete their success in one battle and completely eliminate the Longxia Navy once and for all to complete the task of dominating the Dongzhou waters.

It's a pity that they made the wrong calculation and were killed by Long Xia's navy.

After hearing Su Dingping's words, everyone no longer smiled.

I originally thought that the scale of military expenditure, which was nearly 100 billion soft girl coins, had reached a level of military expenditure that Long Xia Navy had never seen before, so I would be very happy, but I did not expect that in the end, I would still be a poor guy.

Several people looked at each other, with bitter smiles on their faces, but a magical idea had already appeared in their minds. Could it be that the navy wanted to transform into pirates to steal money?

"Wait a minute, Dingping, what kind of warship is the 10,000-ton cruiser you just mentioned?"

Several people were at a loss. They had never heard of the Ten Thousand Ton Drive.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea liquid entered his throat and he instantly felt refreshed.

"Although we have the 052D and will install it in large-scale batches, its combat performance is still a bit poor. It can be used as an auxiliary ship of an aircraft carrier to cooperate with submarines, and it can still compete with an average medium-sized national aircraft carrier fleet. "

"Yes, Chief."

"Should we learn from Donghuanghai and build an aircraft-carrying destroyer?"

"No, no, with a displacement of 10,000 tons, it is also a destroyer."

Even if everything was like this, it was the intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines dispatched by Long Xia that finally forced away the Eagle Tribe fleet. What a tragic shame that was.

It was clear that those hard-core naval warriors were determined to die and used their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy.

"The preliminary standard displacement is 12,000 tons. It is completely different from the Zumwalt. It is our own guided missile destroyer."

Looking at the entire Blue Star, who dares to go to war with the Eagle Tribe?
not a single one.

"But our next opponent is the Eagle Tribe. This is not based on personal will. Whether we want it or not, the Eagle Tribe will regard us as a strategic opponent."

Liu Huaming was the first to react and quickly cast an encouraging glance. His interest was greatly aroused.

Su Dingping nodded, and then said, "The combat effectiveness of our 052-ton cruiser is far superior to that of the D. It is called the sword-carrying guard of the aircraft carrier. It can accompany the aircraft carrier to carry out combat missions, and it can also carry out long-distance operations on its own. Eviction mission.”

Several leaders looked at each other in confusion, feeling that their brains were a little insufficient and they couldn't keep up with the trip at all.

Liu Huaming and other leaders looked at Su Dingping with approval, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Xu Dongguo also spoke, with a look of curiosity on his face.

Suddenly, Liu Huaming's eyes lit up a little, and he asked with a little doubt.

If Su Dingping hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid they would never have known that Su Dingping's research direction had shifted to this.

Unexpectedly, while everyone was immersed in the joyful and peaceful victory, Su Dingping was unusually clear-headed and even predicted that the Eagle Tribe would be ambitious and would conflict with Long Xia sooner or later.

what?
It is a brand new destroyer designed and built by ourselves.

Xiao Chongjun also spoke. There are only two weirdos on Blue Star. The Eagle Tribe has developed numerous new concept weapons to maintain its military advantage over other tribes on Blue Star, while the Eastern Barren Sea has secretly adopted various concepts to create offensive capabilities. Extremely powerful aircraft carrier.

Su Dingping quickly corrected, "And I assure you leaders that our 10,000-ton cruiser will definitely lead the Blue Star trend, which also means that we have entered the kingdom of freedom in terms of shipbuilding technology."

"It will be equipped with more than 110 large-caliber vertical hair units, and will have very powerful combat effectiveness."

"Just because we defeated the Eastern Barren Sea does not mean that we will definitely be able to defeat the Eagle Tribe."

"The ship built by the Eagle Tribe is exactly the result of clearing out all threatening targets and then fighting at the enemy's doorstep. We want to fight out."

Su Dingping's tone gradually became serious, and his expression became extremely solemn, "If an unpredictable event happens one day, we won't have much power to fight back."

Military confrontation is most likely inevitable.

"Dingping, the 10,000-ton cruiser, is it a new concept warship developed with the Eagle Tribe?"

Having said this, he paused briefly, waiting for the leaders to digest what he had just said.

Since it is unavoidable, one can only bite the bullet. Just like back then, the Eagle Tribe just dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet and arrived in the waters of Longzhao Island, forcing Longxia's sea, land and air forces to dispatch together. The ships dispatched by the navy, Almost every sailor on board wrote a suicide note.

But it has never been said so clearly as it is today.

I have never heard of the concept of a 10,000-ton large-scale drive before.

"Dingping, please tell me in detail."

At that time, the Longxia Tribe will face various pressures from the Eagle Tribe.

Su Dingping had only made a vague report before, occasionally mentioning a new concept warship.

"Definitely not. The Eagle Tribe's Zumwalt 10,000-ton drive is too science fiction. We don't have the technology to realize it yet, right?" Qian Wenbing didn't believe it at all.

The tonnage reached 12,000 tons?

"Isn't Ten Thousand Ton a cruiser?"

Now that the Eagle Tribe is deeply involved in the war between the Keyi Tribe and unable to take care of the Dongzhou Sea, it will naturally have to hold down the Donghuang Tribe. Once they escape from the war, they will definitely focus on the Longxia Tribe. Come on.

"The Eagle Tribe has eleven aircraft carriers and has extremely strong maritime combat effectiveness. The gap between us and them is still too big."

In the world's concept, a warship can be called a cruiser after it reaches a scale of 10,000 tons. Today, only the Eagle Tribe is equipped with a 10,000-ton cruiser.

To say it was a tragic victory would be a bit flattering to the navy, but its equipment was inferior to even that of Donghuang Hai.

Fortunately, there was no armed conflict at that time, otherwise they would have to pay compensation if they lost the war. In comparison, the Longxia tribe's national fortune was not bad, and they successfully avoided the biggest risk at that time.

If the same thing happens again and the Eagle Tribe sends an additional aircraft carrier fleet, then relying solely on the 052C and Varyag aircraft carriers will not have much chance of winning.

Even if 052D is added to the battle, I am afraid that there will not be any advantage.

After listening to Su Dingping's analysis, Liu Huaming and others immediately thought of the powerful military strength of the Eagle Tribe, and their hearts sank.

All the joy that had been accumulated before disappeared without a trace, and their expressions became serious.

Just like Su Dingping said, the navy has too many debts. To develop into a powerful naval force, everyone needs to share their strengths and move forward step by step. There is a long way to go!
The road ahead is long and long!

"Is this the reason why you proposed the development of a 10,000-ton engine?"

Liu Huaming's tone also became very serious, "The standard displacement exceeds 12,000 tons? Isn't it about to catch up with the light aircraft carriers in the East Barren Sea?"

"Yes, Chief."

Su Dingping took a deep breath and talked eloquently, "It will carry two helicopters and even anti-ship ballistic missiles to carry out the mission of annihilating enemies from a long distance." "Its comprehensive combat capabilities will be at least three Even the six ships combined cannot match it.”

The 052D gave full play to its terrifying combat effectiveness, suppressing the aircraft carriers in the East Desert Sea so much that they could not even lift their heads. In fact, the combat effectiveness was not even one-sixth of that of the -ton cruiser.

This is so powerful that it is completely unbelievable.

The faces of Liu Huaming and others were full of horror and confusion. It was terrible.

Gradually he became extremely enthusiastic.

How terrifying is the combat effectiveness of such a 10,000-ton weapon?
If the navy is equipped with such a type of warship, there is no telling who will have the strongest fist in the entire Blue Star sea area in the future.

"Of course, we are still just conceiving and making relevant technical reserves. There are still a lot of core technologies that need to be overcome. I am saying this so that everyone can be prepared."

"Our navy must equip such warships."

Su Dingping suddenly smiled and said very frankly.

Hearing this, Liu Huaming and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their anxious hearts were finally relieved.

They are really afraid that these 100 billion soft girl coins will be completely consumed in the blink of an eye before they are warmed in their hands.

"Just watch and keep track of the progress. Don't be too anxious."

"As for how much military expenditure is needed, just report it."

Xu Dongguo took a deep look at Su Dingping and said very generously, "Dingping, you are open to your demands. You can still manage enough for now."

He knows very well that tackling core technology problems is not something that happens overnight and requires a long period of financial investment.

Without enough funds, nothing can be done.

Hearing this, Su Dingping fell into deep thought. After thinking carefully, he slowly spoke.

"Commanders, my next arrangements will be divided into two steps."

"First, continue to develop the Varyag aircraft carrier and strive to conquer the core technology as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Dean Cheng and the others to study and continue repairing it. I will send Sun Yongguo to support them."

"Now that there are sufficient funds and the capital for trial and error, it is very suitable for them to do this kind of thing."

"Second, with the time saved, I will devote myself to conquering the core technology of the 10,000-ton large drive and strive to develop it as soon as possible."

Liu Huaming and others listened carefully to Su Dingping's words with their ears wide open.

"We have almost completed the second step of the three-step strategy. Next, we have to face two major opponents, the first is the White Bear Tribe, and the second is the Eagle Tribe."

"In terms of actual strategic opponents, in the end there is only the Eagle Tribe."

"For the time being, we can prepare for the Eagle Tribe as the most important strategic opponent. They have advanced fighter jets, a large number of advanced bombers, and various anti-air and anti-ground missiles."

"The most important thing is that the Eagle Tribe's goal is to maintain their dominance, so we will become a thorn in their side and want to get rid of them quickly."

"The 052D alone cannot conquer the world, and it is obviously not possible for the aircraft carrier to be protected by it."

"Therefore, the 10,000-ton large-scale drive must be developed before the Varyag aircraft carrier is completed, and we strive to be commissioned into the navy in advance."

Having said this, Su Dingping stopped talking. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea gently to fully moisturize his dry throat.

"Then you must have a third step, right?"

"Dingping, why don't you just tell us everything so that we can be mentally prepared."

After a while, Xu Dongguo had digested Su Dingping's words, so he asked.

He knew that Su Dingping was a person who never fought unprepared battles, and he had probably already planned the development of naval battleships and military industry in his mind.

This is also the main reason why several of their leaders have always called Su Dingping a strategic-level expert.

Ordinary scientific researchers only care about their own one-third of an acre of land and solve technical problems, but they do not have extra things to plan the overall strategy.

But a strategic-level scientist like Su Dingping is completely different. He will plan everything and then implement it step by step.

"Third, build a more powerful and complete shipbuilding industry system and create a complete and efficient industrial chain. When the industrial chain is complete, any warships we build in the future will be very fast."

"In other words, after the 052D production line is completed, we will begin to further expand the integrated military factory, and the volume will be at least four times the current one."

"The navy needs strong basic industry support, and the technology on each ship needs to be implemented into the industrial chain."

What he said was so shocking that Liu Huaming and others opened their eyes wide with shock.

Link after link, link after link, every step of the planning is very clear and perfect.

If they hadn't considered everything before, they wouldn't believe it.

They couldn't help but be a little shocked. Su Dingping was busy conquering new technologies every day. Where did he get so much time to build a naval strategic concept?

This young man is really scary!

In fact, they really wanted to interrupt and ask about specific matters, but no matter whether it was an aircraft carrier or a 10,000-ton cruise ship, they all touched upon unfamiliar territory to them.

Even if the aircraft carrier is obtained, they have also received certain training on relevant aircraft carrier knowledge.

But they have never thought about the 10,000-ton large force. They have never seen it, okay?

Wouldn't it be too much to ask them to interrupt?

Naturally, they just acted as good listeners, quickly took notes, and studied it slowly when they returned home. They used this as a blueprint to formulate relevant shipbuilding plans and create a complete naval industry chain.

In fact, even without asking carefully, they have already built a basic industrial chain framework in their minds.

"Dingping, just tell us how much military expenditure you need."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Huaming said directly that he felt that talking about money was more direct and practical.

"About 70 billion."

"You don't need to give it all at once. I will apply to you when I need it. There may be more."

Su Dingping took out his notebook, looked through it, and then said.

Seventy billion.

No need to give it all at once.

This made Liu Huaming and others quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts were relieved.
