I built an armada.

Chapter 374: The Future is Led by Long Xia, and the Eagle Begins to Decline

"We will also send people over immediately to help salvage the wreckage."

"I'll send someone right away."

Several captains immediately rushed into action.

They all knew the importance of the mysterious warship to the navy. They could help salvage the wreckage and observe the giant ship up close, killing two birds with one stone.

Even the Eagle Tribe's high-altitude reconnaissance plane was shot down. What could be more exciting for them than this?

From now on, Longxia’s territorial waters and airspace will no longer be a free place for high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It will be impregnable, and even if the God of the Eagle Tribe comes, he will not be able to pass through!
Being able to keep out the Eagle Tribe, which is known as the overlord of Blue Star, how many navies in the entire Blue Star can do that?
Zhou Qinglei reported the news as quickly as possible.

Naval Headquarters.

After Xu Dongguo put down the communicator, he could no longer suppress his inner ecstasy.

"Reporting to the commander, Captain Zhou has sent a message. He has confirmed that the ship is our 10,000-ton destroyer."

"The person driving the warship is Ding Ping who we couldn't contact before."

"They are conducting the first sea trial of a 10,000-ton destroyer in this area."

When the report reached this point, although several naval leaders had already expected it, they were still extremely shocked and could not suppress their excitement.

“I didn’t expect it to come true!”

The army and air force chiefs were excited, but gradually fell silent.

In order to shoot down the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the Eagle Tribe, the White Bear Tribe not only set up an ambush on the road, but also mobilized numerous anti-aircraft missile positions and sent out the most advanced combat skills to intercept it. It can be said that they paid a very high price to shoot it down.

And now the navy has shot it down with just one warship.

And it was a modernized high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

The Army and the Air Force have been tense for such a long time and have mobilized a large amount of armaments. Now they are simply providing a stage for the Navy to perform.

In the future, the army and air force will have less and less manpower to deploy at high altitudes and high seas.

"Hahaha, Commander, the 10,000-ton destroyer is really good and powerful."

"If we can equip ourselves with ten or eight ships, then not only our sea area, but even our airspace above it will be impregnable, and the enemy won't be able to get in at all! I actually have the illusion that I have finally become one of the great powers."

At this time, Xu Dongguo couldn't help laughing, and didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the two heads of the Army and Air Force.

Liu Huaming also smiled bitterly after hearing this, and felt that what Xu Dongguo said was very appropriate.

"what are they doing?"

Xu Dongguo quickly said, "Report to the commander, they are salvaging the wreckage of the reconnaissance plane. It seems that our 10,000-ton destroyer is performing well."

Upon learning about the salvage of the wreckage, several leaders became restless.

"Chief, we want to go see the salvaged wreckage."

Both the Army Chief and the Air Force Chief looked at Liu Huaming with anticipation.

The other naval chiefs were also looking forward to it.

Everyone wants to see what this 10,000-ton destroyer of the navy looks like, and it actually has such terrifying combat power.

"Then let's go together."

Liu Huaming also wanted to go and take a look, and now he couldn't sit still.

The group walked towards the airport and headed to the scene in an armed helicopter.

Longxia, Eastern Sea.

As time went by, more than ten warships rushed over and launched many small boats to the sea area where the wreckage fell to salvage the wreckage. A lot of debris has been salvaged.

There aren't many palm-sized wreckages, but there are so many fragments that it's a headache.

The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and more and more warships were gathering. It was so dense that I almost had claustrophobia.

At this moment, Zhou Qinglei and others standing on the bridge of the warship were responsible for helping to direct the salvage work while quietly observing this warship which was quite mysterious to them.

At first the distance was quite far and they used telescopes to see it, but now they can see the outline of the 10,000-ton destroyer with their naked eyes.

As the circle gets smaller, the distance between the two sides gets closer.

It’s so close that it’s almost visible with the naked eye!
"Captain, the new warship is a whole circle larger than our 052D, and there are no extra antennas on the whole ship."

"I'm afraid the tonnage is more than 10,000?"

The deputy captain's face was filled with astonishment and he couldn't believe it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was the next generation of warships of the Longxia Navy.

052D is big enough and tall enough, but Zhou Qinglei could only look up when standing on it and couldn't help but gasp.

Big, that's really big!

This tonnage is definitely over 10,000 tons, almost comparable to some light aircraft carriers.

At this moment, Zhou Qinglei's pupils trembled violently!
"Look at the mast of our new warship. It doesn't protrude at all. It's completely introverted."

"Look at the shield. It's a bit scary. I have no doubt that it can detect targets at an altitude of 30,000 meters. I even think it can detect satellite targets in outer space."

"The new battleship is my dream ship."

Zhou Qinglei exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock and drooling at the corners of his mouth.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to become the captain of this ship. Only by being able to control such a new warship would he be honored.

And within the fleet communication channel, several other captains were also shocked.

"I always thought our 052D was advanced enough, but I didn't expect the new warship to be so powerful. Its tonnage is estimated to be twice that of our 052D. I think it must be so!"

"Is this really designed by Chief Architect Su? Could this warship be our light aircraft carrier?"

"Oh my god, the whole ship is enclosed, there is not a single porthole to be seen, it is so clean and tidy, no wonder it is difficult to detect. This time I am completely convinced that its stealth technology is far superior to that of the 052D."

"Did you see the vertical launch system? Whether it's anti-aircraft or anti-ship, I haven't seen any of them. It's too powerful. Such a warship is the real iron fist of our navy!"

"Look, isn't this radar array very large? There's not even a separate fire control radar. All of them use array radars. The cannon on the bow is also really big."

"The hangar at the rear of the ship must be a double hangar, which is equivalent to having double insurance. It can almost dock armed helicopters."

Even though these captains were knowledgeable, they were still shocked when faced with this 10,000-ton ship. They could not even recognize the new equipment on it.

This fully enclosed warship made them feel that they were out of date.

"Do you think it is possible that all its vertical launch systems are concealed and its existence cannot be detected from the side. The freeboard is high and the missiles it is equipped with are long enough."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and then spoke again.

"I dare say that the anti-aircraft missiles of this new warship must be longer and thicker than those we have equipped, and even more advanced than those on land."

"I agree with what Lao Zhou said. After all, this ship is bigger than ours. Isn't it normal to have larger missiles?"

"Actually, I have a different opinion. Given Chief Engineer Su's character, the performance of the air defense missiles must have been improved. Maybe the propellant has been improved. If that's the case, our warships can also be equipped with it."

"That's right. No matter how advanced the new warship is, it can't conquer everything. If it can be equipped on the 052D, then we will have built a steel Great Wall on the sea."

"It doesn't matter anyway, as long as we confirm that this ship is ours." Several captains argued about this ship and compared it with 052D. The more they argued, the more they felt the advanced nature of this ship.

Just from the appearance, one can tell the difference of 052D with the naked eye.

"Everyone, do you still remember the naval recruitment video released some time ago? That ship covered by the canvas is this ship, right?"

"I remember that at that time I felt that this was just a dream that would take a long time to come true, but I didn't expect it to be right before our eyes now."

"With a huge ship like this coming out, who will dare to enter our waters in the future? Even if God flies over, we will destroy it!"

"It looks like our navy is about to take off."

The closer the two sides got, the stronger the visual impact the 051-ton destroyer brought to the captains. It was like the first time they sat on the 052C and looked at the D. The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

This is destined to be another new qualitative leap.

While everyone was shocked, they became more and more confident about the future of the navy!

Those captains who were originally in the main control room ran to the bridge and watched with their naked eyes. They felt like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden and were full of interest in this new warship.

The closer they looked, the more shocked they were.

The integrated mast alone was enough to open their eyes. There were numerous battle arrays on it, but they didn't know what they were used for, and they didn't see any protruding equipment.

It’s like a futuristic sci-fi giant ship has come into reality!

"Hello."

Seeing the approaching warships, Su Dingping waved the light in his hand and greeted everyone.

Soon the captains landed on the deck of the 10,000-ton destroyer in small boats.

The moment they stepped onto the deck, they were once again shocked by the various advanced equipment on this high-tech 10,000-ton destroyer.

It's incredible.

The level of advancement was far beyond the imagination of all of them.

"General Su, is this the next generation of warships for our navy?"

"Is it a destroyer or a cruiser?"

Zhou Qinglei asked nervously. As soon as he came up, he followed Su Dingping closely with a flattering smile on his face.

He knew very well that Su Dingping had a lot of say, or even the right to decide, on whether he would be the first captain of this 10,000-ton ship.

As for this unspoken rule, he doesn't care whether other captains know about it.

Even if those captains were trying to please Su Dingping, it didn't matter. Once he became the first captain of this 10,000-ton destroyer, those captains would know how ridiculous they were.

"It has a tonnage of over 10,000 tons, and it is also a guided missile destroyer."

"There will no longer be any absolute distinction between cruisers and destroyers. Our next generation of guided missile destroyers will be this type."

"It will also lead the trend of future shipbuilding on Blue Star."

Su Dingping nodded slightly and responded confidently.

When the captains heard this, their blood boiled and their hearts beat wildly.

They have only just experienced the power of 052D, and now the next generation of more advanced warships has emerged.

This speed is a bit scary.

But they like it very much and can fully accept such advanced warships.

"Chief Engineer Su, we haven't seen the vertical launch system just now. Are they hidden?"

"How many vertical launch units does this ship have?"

At this time, a captain asked, and this was also what all the captains were most concerned about.

"This ship has a closed design, and all vertical launch systems are integrated with the ship itself, so they are naturally not visible from the side."

"There are 112 vertical launch units at the bow and at the midship, for a total of vertical launch units."

"It is an all-round warship that can strike at land, air and sea targets."

Su Dingping took everyone on a tour on the ship and personally served as a tour guide.

The captains followed closely behind, listening attentively with their ears pricked up, and everything they saw shocked them greatly.

I'm afraid I never even dreamed of such a 10,000-ton destroyer.

"It has merged with the ship, no wonder it can't be seen."

"This stealth effect has been raised to several levels. No wonder it cannot be detected."

After seeing the real thing, the captains were overwhelmed with emotion.

At this moment, Sun Yongguo's voice came from the intercom.

"Dingping, the commander and his entourage will be arriving soon."

"The special plane they are on is flying towards our ship."

Su Dingping smiled at everyone and immediately responded, "I understand."

"Let's go and welcome the leader."

After saying this, he led everyone to the helicopter take-off and landing flight deck at the rear of the ship.

Not long after, under the guidance and command of the commander, the armed helicopter landed steadily on the deck. The hatch opened and Liu Huaming couldn't wait to jump out of the cabin.

After scanning the captains one by one, his eyes quickly fell on Su Dingping.

Then he came over with a smile on his face, looking really happy.

"Dingping, we meet again, and you have brought me another big surprise."

“I feel like I’ve really come at the right time.”

"You little guy, you've caused us quite a bit of trouble. Everyone in the command center is getting restless. We thought it was an enemy ship before, but we didn't expect it was you who caused such a big commotion."

Liu Huaming said excitedly that the area of ​​the helicopter deck alone was an eye-opener for him.

He had seen the 052D and the rear decks of other warships before, and the deck of this ship was almost twice as large as theirs, so there was no problem at all in operating two helicopters at the same time.

"Let me introduce you. This is the Air Force Chief, and this is the Army Chief."

"This is Dingping."

After listening to the introduction, Su Dingping saluted the two of them very politely and said, "Hello, Chief!"

The Army Chief and the Air Force Chief were looking at the warship. The 10,000-ton destroyer gave them great shock, and all their previous worries were swept away.

"Comrade Dingping, is it true that the firing altitude of this ship's air defense missiles has reached 23 kilometers?"

The Army Chief was the first to ask, but he was still a little skeptical.
