The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 164: Invincible in the Sea Trial [Please order the full version]

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao came just in time. All the early tests of this 052D have been completed."

"We are getting ready to go to sea for sea trials!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Haha! I just ran over here with a pinch of salt!"

"I have long been looking forward to witnessing the sea trial of the 052D with my own eyes to see what its true strength is."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Then let's go together!"

"Anyway, this first sea trial is also in our offshore waters, so there should be no danger."

Zhao Bingkun's secretary Sun Bo said a little uneasily: "The sea trial is likely to be in the eastern sea far away from the main waterway."

"In that case, there should be some considerable risks."

"After all, this is the core area of ​​the East Asian Monster House, and Lao Mo is quite powerful here."

Zhao Bingkun waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "At most, it is only a few dozen kilometers away from the coastline. Our land-based firepower can completely control it!"

"What's more, our current air force is not a vegetarian, and our electronic warfare capabilities are also quite strong."

"Comrade Zhipeng, are you afraid?"

Zhao Bingkun turned to look at Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng shrugged and said with a smile: "Why should I be afraid?"

"Although our 052D destroyer is on its first sea trial, it is fully armed!"

"Our battleship is second to none in the world! It is even more advanced than Lao Mo's."

"If there are really those who don't have eyes, then take the opportunity to give them some eye drops!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed loudly after hearing this: "Hahaha! That's right!"

"I think it's not us who have to be afraid, but other people!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded: "Yes! Others should be afraid of us!"

The first sea trial of the first 052D destroyer began on one day in mid-October 1995.

The warship set off from the military port in the Magic City and arrived at the designated sea trial area.

In addition to the first 052D destroyer, there are several other warships accompanying the escort.

At the same time, air power has also stepped up combat readiness patrols in sea trial areas.

At the same time, there are two No-Detective 7 aircraft patrolling the eastern waters and surrounding areas.

Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Bingkun stood on the open-air command post on the bridge of 052D.

They looked at the vast sea.

In this sea trial, Zhang Zhipeng was the commander-in-chief.

He continued to issue various instructions and tested various weapons and equipment.

Zhao Bingkun, on the other hand, looked on with a smile.

He thinks he doesn't understand naval ships, so he usually doesn't interrupt.

"Comrade Zhipeng, the domestic gas turbine installed on our ship is very powerful!" Zhao Bingkun said enthusiastically.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "It is better than the general LM2500! However, I am still a little dissatisfied. If we want to build larger ships, the current gas turbines are still a bit insufficient."

The 052D is indeed the main battleship.

However, how can Zhang Zhipeng satisfy a medium-sized warship of only six to seven thousand tons?

He feels that in addition to aircraft carriers, China should also come up with 055 large destroyers as soon as possible.

Um! It is the 3000 large drive with a displacement tonnage of 1 tons but an excess of 055 tons.

A 055 has as many as 112 vertical hair devices, which is enough to destroy an entire opponent's fleet!
That’s enough energy!
Zhao Bingkun couldn't help but widen his eyes: "The power of the gas turbine used in the 052D has reached 3.5 horsepower, right?"

"You still think it's not enough?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Director Zhao, we have to take a longer view, haha!"

"052D is definitely not our largest destroyer! In the future, we will have to continue to build bigger and stronger warships!"

Zhao Bingkun was stunned: "The 052D's full load displacement is already 7000 tons, right?"

"Isn't this big enough?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook his head and said: "Far from enough!"

"The old Ticongadero-class destroyer is 10,000 tons! Of course we have to have a benchmark to do this!"

Zhao Bingkun scratched his head and said, "Ticongadro class, isn't that a cruiser?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "It's just a name."

"It's okay to call our 10,000-ton ship a destroyer!"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and shook his head and said, "What you said made me feel hot."

"It's just that we are still too poor now! One 052D costs seven to eight billion. The big ship you mentioned, wouldn't it cost one to two billion to build one?"

It's only 1995 now, and artificial materials are relatively cheap. Therefore, the total cost of building a 052D destroyer is only more than 7 million yuan.

But in the previous life, in the 2010s, the price of a 052D destroyer was more than 30 billion!
However, today’s military expenditure is not too much, only more than 600 billion soft sister coins, which is not even 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Not to mention comparing with Lao Mo, China's military expenditure today can't even compare with a footbath and a stick.

It is precisely because the military expenditure is relatively small, but the number of troops is more than two million, so now it is really stretched.

But developing the navy is indeed a gold-eating beast...

To maintain an aircraft carrier fleet would cost tens of billions a year.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao, I believe the situation will get better and better in the future."

"Now, our domestic market economy is developing well, and our tax sources will be increasing."

"Our military spending will also increase in the future."

"Let's take our time!"

"Even if we don't have much money now, in order to protect our country and provide a peaceful space for economic development, we must tighten our belts and work hard to build a navy."

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "You are right!"

"The Navy still needs to do something about it!"

"When our 052D has formed a combat capability and feels pretty good, we will build a big ship!"

"However, I would like to ask for your opinion: Do you think it is better to build an aircraft carrier first, or a 10,000-ton cruiser first?"

Zhang Zhipeng thought for a while and said: "We still focus on offshore defense, so it would be better to engage in large-scale driving first."

"When we build a true blue-ocean navy and go global in the future, it won't be too late to build an aircraft carrier."

"Anyway, both are indispensable."

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "What you said makes sense!"

"Then let's do this! Let the 052D destroyer form its combat power first, and then launch the -ton destroyer."

"Actually, modern destroyers are not afraid of aircraft carriers. After all, air protection is still relatively good!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "That's right!"

"As long as there are three 3D destroyers, there will be no problem in dealing with an aircraft carrier fleet!"

"The aircraft carrier's fighter jets cannot attack the destroyer without restraint."

While the two were talking, the sea trials of 052D were still going on.

The anti-submarine helicopter flew from the destroyer's apron to conduct anti-submarine exercises in the surrounding area.

In fact, around the 052D destroyer sea trial area, there are also our submarines lurking in the sea.

"Di Di!"

Feedback from the anti-submarine helicopter appeared on the screen.

The comprehensive anti-submarine system on this anti-submarine helicopter accurately marked the positions of the two our submarines.

One is more than 052 nautical miles away from the 30D destroyer.

The other one is about 50 nautical miles away.

The two submarines form a triangle with the 052D destroyer.

Both submarines are conventional diesel-electric submarines, and their mission is mainly to cooperate with anti-submarine warfare to prevent threats coming from the bottom of the sea.

Zhao Bingkun smiled happily: "Haha! Is this really discovered too quickly?"

"We just started scanning, and we found the target?"

By the way, in addition to guarding the 052D destroyer sea trials, the two conventional diesel-electric submarines are also part of the sea trials.

In this sea trial, in addition to testing power and phased array radar, testing of anti-submarine aircraft is also a focus.

Sun Ming, the chief engineer of 052D, also smiled and said at this time: "Director Zhao, actually, before the anti-submarine drones discovered those two submarines, our towed sonar had also discovered them."

"They're still too close."

"Besides, it's a conventional submarine, and the noise is relatively loud, so it's relatively easy to find!"

Sun Ming is right to say this.

Today, China's conventional submarines have very poor silent technology.

He is even often laughed at by the footbath, "I just left the port and heard the sound in the footbath sea."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Gong Sun is right, discovering a conventional submarine is really nothing, haha!"

"However, it can also find nuclear attack submarines that are hidden deeper!"

There are three types of submarines, conventional submarines, strategic nuclear submarines and attack nuclear submarines.

Strategic nuclear submarines launch intercontinental nuclear express delivery. This thing is relatively large and quite bulky. Apart from carrying some torpedoes for self-protection, it has no other self-protection capabilities.

If the surrounding protection force is not enough, it will be easily hunted by attacking nuclear submarines.

Generally speaking, strategic nuclear submarines are squatting on a secret seabed and are on standby at any time.

When it was on duty, it only turned on its passive sonar. It was like a black hole on the seabed, and it was very difficult to find it.

Attack nuclear submarines are much smaller, almost silent, more flexible, fast, sink deeply, and can cruise almost infinitely.

Of course the threat is greater.

Traditional anti-submarine means are almost impossible to detect attacking nuclear submarines.

Sun Ming smiled and said: "For this sea trial, only two diesel-electric submarines were transferred, and there are no attack nuclear submarines."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "Maybe there will be a big black fish coming to join in the fun, it's also unknown!"

Just as he was talking, the alarm sounded again on the anti-submarine terminal screen.

Zhang Zhipeng and several others took a look and found the target again.

The target discovered this time was relatively far away, about two hundred nautical miles away.

When Zhao Bingkun saw it, his eyes narrowed: "Oh! I really found a big black fish this time!"

"The dive is really deep, it must be six hundred meters, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "It's still driving slowly!"

"The goal is very clear. I want to touch this sea area for our sea trial, haha!"

Zhao Bingkun was impatient and cursed and said: "The one who stepped on the horse really came uninvited!"

"Would you like to drop a few depth charges to tell this big black fish?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "We are still some distance away at the moment."

"The other party is not in our exclusive economic zone." "So we should be more civilized."

“Let them hear the music that welcomes them!”

Zhang Zhipeng gave the order, and immediately powerful electromagnetic interference waves began to be released in the direction of the big black fish.

The big black fish immediately sensed this electromagnetic interference wave.

It was immediately clear: it had been discovered.

Big Black Fish also knows that after being discovered, he must learn the rules.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster.

So the big black fish immediately raised its white flag, quickly surfaced, and then showed that it had no ill intentions.

Then it quickly slipped away.

On board the 052D destroyer, there was a burst of cheers and warm applause.

Sun Ming was surprised and excited.

He never expected that a big black fish that dives so deep, is almost completely silent, and only has passive sonar turned on would be discovered?

And this big black fish was found 200 nautical miles away.

This anti-submarine method is really powerful.

Such a powerful anti-submarine method has been proven to be effective in practice. Then anti-submarine will be much easier in the future!

"Comrade Zhipeng, I really didn't expect that the comprehensive anti-submarine system you took the lead in developing could be so powerful!"

"Then the threat from submarines will be reduced quickly!"

The optimal distance for a submarine attack is probably one to two hundred kilometers.

If it can be discovered outside its attack area as early as possible, then the threat to the fleet itself will become very small.

This is also where Sun Ming sighs with emotion.

It is really difficult to find an attack nuclear submarine with a potential depth of five to six hundred meters.

Especially the attack nuclear submarine that is in a lurking and stationary state. Sometimes it even reaches the bottom of the fleet without being discovered.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "This is the value of 052D! Haha!"

"Its anti-ship capability is also very strong."

"When a hypersonic anti-ship missile that can fly at a maximum speed of around Mach 10 is installed, its strike range will be as far as more than 300 kilometers!"

"One shot can basically destroy a large ship of several thousand tons."

"By that time, there will be fewer people who are forced to do it, haha!"

Zhao Bingkun was in a happy mood, laughed and nodded and said, "Yeah! Haha! I hate those guys who push me hard!"

"052D is really the sword-carrying guard of our Chinese Navy! Haha!"

This first sea trial of 052D was finally a complete success!

This sea trial tested the power system, radar, anti-submarine and other projects.

Overall, the performance of any of these 3 projects is excellent.

This means: a powerful all-round battleship is ready to emerge.

After the audition, Zhao Bingkun, Zhang Zhipeng and others had a meal together.

Zhao Bingkun toasted Zhang Zhipeng three times and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, thank you!"

"Without you, there would be no way such a powerful battleship would appear!"

"All Navy officers and men are grateful to you!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Without me, China would still have many smart and patriotic geniuses!"

"I never think that my role is irreplaceable!"

Zhao Bingkun shook his head and said: "I agree with the first half of the sentence. There are indeed many geniuses in China who have the ambition to reach the top!"

"However, I don't agree with the second half of the sentence!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, your role is absolutely irreplaceable!"

"Without you, our country might have been many years late and had to go through many twists and turns before we could produce so many good things!"

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself that Zhao Bingkun still has a good taste.

My role is actually to help the country develop many cutting-edge technologies that span the ages many years in advance.

When I think about my past life, until the 2020s, chips were still China’s biggest shortcoming!
But in this life, his appearance not only made up for the shortcomings of the chip ahead of time, but also led the world!

Getting the chip out in advance should be considered a proud achievement of his, right?
After participating in the sea trials of 052D, Zhang Zhipeng's scientific research mission has come to an end for the time being.

He returned to Chang'an to recuperate for only more than ten days.

Of course, speaking of cultivation, he actually still has to participate in some management work of Loongson Company and Huaxing Company.

However, these tasks are actually much easier.

He still had extra time to spend with his wife, children, and parents, and he also found time to give two lectures to students from the Department of Aircraft Engineering of NPU.

The lectures he gave were generally similar to large lectures.

They are all held in the department lecture hall.

Originally it was only for students in this department.

As a result, every lecture was attended by famous students from other departments, and the lecture theater was packed to capacity.

And every lecture he gave was quite successful.

Students who have attended his lectures all feel that they have benefited a lot.

Time flies, and it’s mid-November of 1995.

Zhang Zhipeng received a call from Ren Zhengfei that day.

Ren Zhengfei said on the phone: "Comrade Zhipeng, our GSM network in Shenzhen Town has been completed!"

"The effect is quite good! Do you want to come and experience it and give us some guidance on our work?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Has the signal coverage been achieved in the whole city?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "Yes! The signal covers the whole city, and the phone calls are very clear!"

"Our GSM candybar mobile phone is already on sale."

"It's selling very well."

Zhang Zhipeng asked: "Are there any other cities across the country that are interested in establishing GSM networks?"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "There are a few cities that we are interested in, but we haven't been able to win them yet."

"We are now preparing to let other big cities come to Shenzhen to experience the high quality of our GSM network!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Simply hold a GSM experience conference."

"Invite the heads of post and telecommunications bureaus in each province and relevant supervisors to come over and let them conduct an on-site inspection."

"I will also say hello to you in the capital, and ask the State Post and Telecommunications Bureau to issue a document or something, and strive to use our GSM base stations across the country."

Ren Zhengfei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha! Thank you Comrade Zhipeng! I just want you to exert your influence!"

"Business is not so easy to run now!"

"Many provinces have their own ideas."

"The State Post and Telecommunications Bureau does not have a unified approach now."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Thank you for what?! This is our common cause!"

"Build the 2G mobile network quickly, which will greatly promote the development of our country's economy!"

"I will go to the capital for some activities first."

"Then, I will go to Shenzhen to experience our 2G mobile network."

Today, mobile communications is still a department under Posts and Telecommunications.

Therefore, if you are looking for connections, you must go to the post and telecommunications department.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "Okay, okay!"

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Comrade Zhipeng."

The next day, Zhang Zhipeng flew to the capital.

In fact, he has already established a network of relationships in the capital.

However, if you want to promote the establishment of a nationwide 2G network, you still have to find Zhao Bingkun.

Go to the superiors through Zhao Bingkun.

As long as the leaders above issue instructions, the matter will almost be done.

This time when he went to Beijing, Zhang Zhipeng specially brought a base station and other devices.

Of course, he also took a few of the GSM candy bar phones he made himself.

He hopes to demonstrate to his leaders how reliable and easy-to-use the 2G network is.

After arriving in the capital, Zhang Zhipeng first went to see Zhao Bingkun.

He had called Zhao Bingkun in advance before coming.

Zhao Bingkun also knew why he came here this time.

After the meeting, Zhao Bingkun said: "I have already met with the leader and reported relevant matters to him."

"In fact, the country still attaches great importance to this aspect, and the promotion of 2G networks is currently underway in an orderly manner."

"The leader has said before: If domestic products are easy to use and affordable, then of course domestic products will be given priority!"

"This can save a lot of foreign exchange and can also stimulate the development of the domestic economy."

"Since you brought the equipment this time, take it with you and let the leaders personally experience the power of domestic GSM technology!"

Zhao Bingkun took Zhang Zhipeng to meet with the leader.

Zhang Zhipeng has met the leader several times before.

Therefore, the atmosphere during this meeting was quite relaxed.

Zhang Zhipeng told the leaders about the various advantages of domestic mobile communication base stations.

Later, he built a simple GSM network in the compound.

The leader watched with interest.

After the GSM network was built, Zhang Zhipeng asked the leaders to personally experience the call quality and short message sending function of the 2G mobile network.

After the leader experienced it, he said: This mobile network is much better than the previous 1G.

The leader asked: "Comrade Zhipeng, if your GSM network is built into a nationwide network, how much will it cost in total?"

Zhang Zhipeng had naturally made an estimate before. He smiled and said: "It will cost more than 3 billion to build a nationwide GSM network with blind spots."

The leader smiled and said: "This price is more than half less than that of European communication providers!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "We have a cost advantage. Our base stations have their own technical standards, and most of them are our own technical products, so the cost is much lower."

"Boss, you should know that if we use all foreign technology, even if we produce our own products, we will have to pay a large amount of patent royalties every year."

Zhang Zhipeng remembers reading a piece of information from his previous life. In the 2G network era, because European and American technologies and products were used, a total of 7500 billion was paid in patent fees in more than ten years!
The leader nodded happily and said, "Products with independent property rights are good! Haha!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, you just said that a city-wide GSM network has been built in Shenzhen Town?"

PS: Today’s update is complete, thank you to all the guys who supported me!
