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

Chapter 214: No. in the world again in this regard! 【Please order in full! Ask for data! 】

Zhang Zhipeng stayed at the Modu Shipyard until late October 98.

He worked hard with the engineers to complete the final outfitting of the first 10,000-ton ship.

It took more than three months to build the ship and two months to outfit it. The first 3-ton large-scale drive was successfully completed.

The full load displacement of this large ship can reach more than 1.2 tons.

It has 112 hair hanging devices.

Its hair hanging device uses cold emission.

This firing mode is faster, can also improve the flexibility and accuracy of the strike, and is also very helpful in the maintenance of the hair pit.

The so-called cold launch is actually similar to electromagnetic ejection.

This device was developed through hard work by Zhang Zhipeng and his team.

It is much better than the heat emitting hair drop device.

After the outfitting was completed, all the work sheds were removed.

The electromagnetic railgun installed on the bow of the ship is particularly eye-catching.

Guo Zaijie and a group of navy bosses came to visit as soon as the outfitting was completed.

They arrived on the ship accompanied by Zhang Zhipeng.

When the navy bosses looked at this mighty and majestic ship, their eyes shone brightly.

China has three major fleets.

The bosses of the three major fleets are all present today.

They all covet this 10,000-ton cruise ship that already meets the conditions for inclusion in the fleet.

They want it all.

"Director Guo, our South China Sea Fleet has a great responsibility and guards the most extensive sea territory. I think this 10,000-ton cruise ship should be handed over to us." Guo Mingyi, the head of the South China Sea Fleet, first said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Linsen, the head of the North Sea Fleet, immediately refuted: "The first aircraft carrier has been given to you, and now you still want to grab a 10,000-ton cruiser. There is no such thing."

"Our North Sea Fleet faces the greatest defense pressure, and what we defend is the heart of the motherland!"

"The first 10,000-ton ship should be given to us."

"In addition, the second aircraft carrier should also be ours."

Feng Yuxuan, the head of the East China Sea Fleet, said weakly: "You two, you can't be too greedy!"

"It is almost clear that the second aircraft carrier will be given to the North Sea Fleet."

"Then it's our turn no matter what with the 10,000-ton big drive."

The three people refused to give in to each other.

The argument was a little red-faced.

Guo Zaijie said with a smile: "Stop fighting!"

"What are you fighting for! Everything should be coordinated by the navy, and it also depends on how the country arranges it."

"As long as our big drive ship works well after debugging, it can enter mass production mode immediately!"

"Just like the 052D, multiple ships will be produced at the same time soon."

"Each of your families will have many ships put into service in the future!"

After Guo Zaijie said this, the three of them stopped arguing.

Guo Mingyi smiled and said: "Director Guo, when will the sea trials of this first 10,000-ton large-scale drive begin?"

Guo Zaijie glanced at Zhang Zhipeng and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask Comrade Zhipeng about this."

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "After the basic debugging in the early stage is completed, the long-sea test can be carried out immediately."

"This ship uses a lot of new technologies."

"Although a lot of tests have been done before being put on the ship, the reliability of the technology has been guaranteed."

"However, we still have to conduct actual combat exercises on the ship to know whether there is a problem."

A warship has to go through quite a lot of sea trials.

mainly include:

The first is the hull inspection to check whether the structure and appearance of the hull meet the standards.

The second step is the navigation test, which mainly tests the performance of the ship in complex sea conditions.

The third is to check whether the electromechanical equipment on the ship is working properly and whether there are any safety hazards.

The fourth is the fire test, which tests whether the fire-fighting equipment on the ship can meet the highest standards of fire-fighting requirements.

The fifth is the inspection of life-saving equipment.

In addition, weapons and equipment as well as the ship’s defense capabilities will be tested.

Anti-submarine, air defense, strike and other capabilities will also be tested.

After a period of comprehensive testing, problems were discovered and rectifications were made.

In this process, the skills of the officers and soldiers on the ship must also be trained so that the sailors on the ship can skillfully control the ship and give full play to the warship's all-round combat capabilities.

This is a long process.

Zhang Linsen stared at the electromagnetic railgun on the ship. He said with an eager face: "What I want to know most now is: will this thing be easy to use after it is moved to the ship?"

"If this thing is really easy to use, then the combat effectiveness of our 10,000-ton ship will be too impressive."

Guo Mingyi said: "Since we are all on board, it must be easy to use!"

"If it's not easy to use, Comrade Zhipeng will definitely not move it to the ship, right, Comrade Zhipeng."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "We still need to test it before we can draw a conclusion."

"It has been tested many times on shore, and the effect is still quite strong."

Zhang Linsen said: "How about we test this cannon as soon as possible."

"It is the most important weapon on this ship."

"If it works well, it will be more lethal than a vertical launch missile."

Guo Zaijie smiled and said, "Isn't this a little too impatient?"

"No matter what, you have to take your time and test them one by one."

Guo Mingyi shook his head and said: "Director Guo, I didn't mean to refute you."

"However, you have to understand one thing: the shipborne electromagnetic railgun is the most important weaponry on this ship."

"Whether it succeeds or not has a lot to do with it."

"If it turns out to be useless after testing, then it must be rectified immediately, so as not to affect the delivery and commissioning of the big ship."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "It seems that everyone wants to see how this electromagnetic gun will be like after it is put on the ship."

"Then simply, find a safer sea area the day after tomorrow, and conduct a live-fire exercise after the blockade."

In fact, Zhang Zhipeng also wants to know whether the electromagnetic railgun can be successful after being put on the ship.

This is related to whether we can vigorously develop ship-based electromagnetic railguns in the future.

Guo Zaijie hesitated for a moment and asked: "Comrade Zhipeng, this ship has just completed outfitting. Can we start testing the shipboard weapons immediately?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "There should be no problem."

"We're not far away anyway, so let's do it offshore!"

"It's just that the sea outside the Magic City is the busiest shipping lane in the world."

"If we conduct a live-fire test, I think it would be better to go to the South China Sea."

Guo Zaijie shook his head: "The warship has just been completed, and it went to the South China Sea?"

"Isn't this a bit too far?"

Guo Mingyi, head of the South China Sea Fleet, said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Just drive along the coastline. Even if something happens, it doesn't matter."

"I don't think this big ship built by Comrade Zhipeng will be so brittle. It has just been built and it has all kinds of problems."

"Our 052D has been in service for more than ships, and the quality is quite strong."

"The power unit actually used by the 055 million-ton large drive is similar to that of the 052D. I don't think there will be any problems."

As of September this year, 9 052D destroyers have been delivered.

Each of the three major fleets has at least six or seven 052Ds.

The front-line officers and soldiers highly praised this battleship.

Everyone believes that their 052D destroyer is even much stronger than the old Burke-class destroyer.

Guo Zaijie looked at Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, let me make up my mind. Do you want to go to the South China Sea for testing?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "You can go to the South China Sea to test."

"I think it's a mule or a horse that has to be taken out for a walk."

"Our ship-borne electromagnetic rail gun, we have to give it a try no matter what, to see if it works."

"If it really works, the whole world will be shocked."

Now that Zhang Zhipeng has made the decision, Guo Zaijie will naturally have no objections.

Therefore, in the next two days, the first 055 million-ton large-scale drive began to undergo various intense tests and inspections.

The mooring test and the gas turbine test run were all tested in two days.

After the test was completed, early on the third day, the large ship, accompanied by two 052D guards and a supply ship, headed for the southern waters along the coastline.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally accompanied him.

The leaders of the three major fleets are all on the 055 drive.

Along the way, Zhang Zhipeng was quite busy.

He was busy training technicians and debugging various equipment on the drive.

A few days later, Daqi arrived at the base of Nanhai Island.

Although the news of China's electromagnetic rail gun being installed on ships has always been relatively low-key, no domestic media has reported it.

However, foreign media are obviously paying close attention.

In the past few days, many Western media have been reporting on the news that China has installed electromagnetic rail guns on its newly built 10,000-ton large drive.

This is the only practical news about the electromagnetic rail gun in the world.

Even Lao Mo's electromagnetic rail gun is actually half-disabled now.

But China's electromagnetic railgun is now about to become a ship-borne weapon, which is a huge stimulus for some countries.

As a result, various countries have begun to express their opinions: they will increase the research and development of electromagnetic rail guns, and have given a timetable for successful development.

Each one of them felt: If A-Zhong can do it, then I can do it too.

After the 10,000-ton ship arrived at the naval base on Nanhai Island, it underwent maintenance.

This is the first long journey after the completion of the first 10,000-ton ship.

Moreover, the driving distance is quite far, more than two thousand kilometers.

After inspection, there was no problem with the first 10,000-ton drive.

So, after a day of repairs, the big ship sailed out of the military port early the next morning and headed towards the distant sea.

It's said to be a distant sea, but actually it's not that far away from Nanhai Island.

China has declared a sea area for live-fire exercises.

This sea area is quite large, but it is in the shape of a long strip.

At around 9 a.m., the -ton truck had already arrived at the exercise area.

China's South China Sea Fleet has put this area of ​​​​sea under martial law.

Zhang Zhipeng came to the side of the electromagnetic railgun, and he began to do final inspections with the staff.

This is also to ensure that the final test result is a complete success.

He was in a very uneasy mood at the moment. Because this test of the ship-borne electromagnetic railgun is much more significant than the test on land.

As long as the test is successful, it will probably shock the whole world.

"How's it going? Is the situation okay?" Guo Zaijie came to Zhang Zhipeng's side and asked.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "Everything is fine!"

"The electromagnetic gun equipment is in good condition."

"The supercapacitor is now fully charged."

"We can do testing at any time."

Guo Mingyi is the head of the South China Sea Fleet.

This is his territory, and he basically arranges the exercises.

He has arranged for a dilapidated old ship with a displacement of more than a thousand tons to serve as a target ship.

Three navy bosses and Liu Guosheng, the head of the Naval Equipment Department, all came to the bridge at this time.

They all hope to see the electromagnetic railgun hitting the target ship.

However, it is not so easy to see clearly the situation of a target ship being hit 200 kilometers away.

Fortunately, there are observation ships around the target ship and helicopters circling in the sky.

In addition, China's military electromagnetic system has now been connected.

Therefore, these navy bosses can still understand the overall situation at the first time.

After Zhang Zhipeng led the technicians to complete the inspection, he also came to the bridge.

As soon as he came up, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Comrade Zhipeng, how are you doing? Can you start the test on time?" Liu Guosheng asked.

Guo Mingyi said impatiently: "If there is no problem, can we start?"

"Having tested it against sea targets, I hope to see it also against air targets."

"After all, long-range air defense is a very real shortcoming for warships."

……

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, everyone. What I want to say is that the test of the electromagnetic rail gun can be carried out on time."

"Comrade Chaojie talked about the demonstration of long-range air defense capabilities, so we can try it too!"

"A drone can be raised in the sky 200 kilometers away as a target."

Guo Mingyi was surprised: "Use drones as targets?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "That's right! Use drones as targets. Only in this way can we test the powerful performance of the electromagnetic railgun!"

Guo Mingyi shook his head and said: "I want to say, is the target of the drone a bit too small?"

"It may be a little too difficult for radar to detect drones in the sky more than 200 kilometers away."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "Our ship-borne phased array radar is still very powerful."

"It should not be difficult to detect a drone 200 kilometers away."

"Well! I hope what I say now won't be slapped in the face, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng was full of confidence when he said this.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhipeng began to assign tasks on the spot.

Everyone in the command room became nervous and busy.

Seeing that the time for the test had arrived, Zhang Zhipeng gave the order and the test began!
The navy bosses also cheered up, and they could watch the launch of the ship-borne electromagnetic railgun on the big screen.

Guo Mingyi stared at the electromagnetic railgun below.

"boom!"

The electromagnetic railgun fired.

A ball of flames erupted from the muzzle, and the flames carried a special cannonball weighing more than ten kilograms and shot out quickly, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye...

This speed is really too fast.

"Isn't this too fast?"

"This speed should be far beyond the speed of sound, right?"

Guo Mingyi murmured.

Zhang Zhipeng happened to be standing next to Guo Mingyi. He smiled and said: "The speed can reach nearly Mach 7, which is about 7 times the speed of sound."

"Moreover, satellite guidance can be achieved, using our Beidou global satellite navigation system to guide us straight to the target!"

"It even has active guidance capabilities and secondary explosion capabilities after hitting the opponent."

Guo Mingyi was shocked and hurriedly looked at the big screen.

He saw the railgun shells that had just been fired flying rapidly towards the target.

At a distance of 200 kilometers, visual inspection may take just over a minute to fly there.

Everyone almost held their breath as they watched the rail artillery shell fly towards the target.

Everyone began to count down secretly in their hearts.

"boom!"

The shell struck the target ship with great kinetic energy.

An explosion followed.

This medium-sized ship of more than 1,000 tons suffered heavy damage.

Astonishingly, it was blown into two pieces from the middle.

In just a few seconds, the ship sank.

"How accurate!"

"The lethality is amazing!"

There was a burst of warm applause in the command room.

Everyone was excited.

Everyone high-fived each other to celebrate, and some even had red eyes.

The ship-borne railgun accurately hit the target in its first test shot, which was enough to shock the world!
This may even change the pattern of naval battles!

Guo Mingyi came over and gave Zhang Zhipeng a bear hug.

"Comrade Zhipeng! I knew that the railgun you made must be a super killer weapon!"

"Thank you! In the future, with this gun on our warships, we will be almost invincible in naval battles!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "This railgun still has many flaws, and we can't be happy too early."

"It can't fire more than 10 times in a row."

"Although its magnetic track has been made of very sophisticated composite materials, it is still easily damaged by strong magnetism and electricity as well as ablation and planing."

"So, it has limitations."

Zhang Linsen, the head of the North Sea Fleet, laughed and patted Zhang Zhipeng on the shoulder and said: "Even if it has such flaws, because of its high-speed strike capability and powerful lethality, it is still a long-range killer weapon. !”

"Didn't Comrade Zhipeng say that as long as there is enough electricity, the railgun's range can even reach infinity?"

"Just imagine, if we can use electromagnetic guns to attack enemy fleets a thousand kilometers away, how cost-effective would that be?!"

"It is much cheaper than medium-range missiles."

"Yes, yes! With this thing, we have another big treasure to deal with the aircraft carrier fleet!"

In the past, in order to develop area denial capabilities, China developed ballistic missile technology for attacking aircraft carriers and developed hypersonic cruise missiles.

But the costs of the above two are still a bit high.

Now, China can attack the enemy's aircraft carrier formation with only one percent of the cost of hypersonic missiles.

The railgun's projectile speed can exceed Mach 5, and its small size makes it impossible to defend against anti-missile missiles.

As a result, the threat of railguns to aircraft carrier formations is too great.

Theoretically, only two 055 million-ton cruise ships equipped with railguns can destroy an aircraft carrier formation.

It would be strange if the big bosses of the navy were not excited.

Guo Mingyi said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, can we test attacking air targets now?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Let the comrades on the observation ship start flying drones."

"Fly the drone higher, to the limit of 4000 meters. I want to see if our railgun can get it!"

Guo Mingyi immediately issued the instructions personally.

At this time, on an observation ship 200 kilometers away.

A staff officer named Tao Ze of the South China Sea Fleet was on the phone with Guo Mingyi.

While Guo Mingyi was giving him instructions, he couldn't help but ask him about the scene where the railgun shell hit the target ship just now.

Tao Ze naturally described the scene he just saw vividly.

He said: "Leader, I was staring at the target ship with my binoculars just now."

"Suddenly, a ball of fire rushed down from the sky."

"Then there was a huge explosion on the ship."

"The explosion was too violent, and it seemed that there were two explosions."

"The ship was blown into two pieces at once."

"In the blink of an eye, it sank to the bottom of the ocean."

"By the way, what kind of missile are we testing this time?"

"Why do I feel like it's like an iron rod?"

Guo Mingyi smiled and said: "That's not a missile at all, right?"

"That's a super weapon of future technology!"

"We have it under control now!"

"In future wars, with this thing, we are destined to be invincible!"

"Okay, now you release a four-copter drone, just an ordinary one."

"Next, we will also test the air defense capability of this weapon."

Tao Ze was surprised: "Huh?! Attack a small drone from 200 kilometers away?"

"Why do I feel a little unrealistic?"

Guo Mingyi laughed and scolded: "Just do what you want! You don't need to question me!"

"As for whether it can work, won't you see it with your own eyes later?"

After making the call, Tao Ze immediately ordered the people on the observation ship to start flying the drone.

He specially found a larger drone to fly.

After this drone reached an altitude of 4000 meters, it was completely invisible without a telescope.

Tao Ze looked up at the sky and murmured in his mind: The entire area of ​​this drone is only about 1 square meter, right?
Even with satellite navigation and phased array super radar, can that super weapon really hit a drone?

If it can hit and destroy drones, then it won't be a problem to attack fighter jets or even bombers, right?
With this in mind, Tao Ze made a satellite phone call to Guo Mingyi and informed him that the drone had taken off.

After Guo Mingyi hung up the phone, he immediately said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, the drone has already taken off."

"If it is possible to use railguns to attack drones from 200 kilometers away, then the opponent's targets in the air will be out of the question."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "If the railgun has navigation, then everything will be easier, haha!"

"Comrade Mingyi, just watch! Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"
