Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Xu Huasheng was busy until dawn, and then he threw down the pen in his hand.

Now Xu Huasheng's whole hand was sore, but looking at the design drawings on the table, Xu Huasheng felt it was worth it.

These design drawings are naturally not all the design drawings. If Xu Huasheng wants to draw all the design drawings, I don't know how many days it will take. Xu Huasheng just drew the general design drawings of the ship, including the appearance design, cabin layout, the location of each system, etc.

This is a design framework, and for a ship, this framework is also the most difficult. After having a framework, you can add things to the framework. The whole framework is like the framework of a building. After the framework is built, how to fill and decorate the interior depends on the designer's style, but once the framework is built, the safety of the entire building is determined.

The next morning, Xu Huasheng rarely had panda eyes.

But he had a thick stack of design drawings in his arms, and he didn't even have breakfast. Xu Huasheng knocked on the door of Liu Lao's room.

Mr. Liu Qinghua also came two days ago. He was very concerned about the new combat mode of the navy. He also participated in the discussion these two days.

"Xiaosheng, what are you doing?"

The door of the room opened, and seeing Xu Huasheng staring at his panda eyes with a haggard look on his face, Mr. Liu hurriedly asked with concern.

"Mr. Liu, I stayed up late, nothing happened. By the way, Mr. Liu, I have something to show you..."

As Xu Huasheng said this, he walked into Mr. Liu's room. Mr. Liu looked at Xu Huasheng curiously, and Xu Huasheng was not polite either. He directly spread out the design drawing of 055 that he drew in Mr. Liu's room.

"Mr. Liu, this is a missile destroyer I designed. I don't know what it is like, so I'll show it to you. This destroyer is 183 meters long, 22 meters wide, 8 meters deep, with a standard displacement of 9,000 tons, a full load displacement of 12,500 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and a cruising range of 7,000 nautical miles..."

Xu Huasheng began to explain the design drawings of 055 to Mr. Liu. As Xu Huasheng explained, Mr. Liu stared at the design drawings and kept asking some technical questions.

Mr. Liu is an expert. He could tell at a glance that this ship was definitely not drawn randomly. This design is definitely very professional.

Various designs are very reasonable, and the old man couldn't understand many places. But as Xu Huasheng explained, the old man's eyes were full of enlightenment.

Excellent design, powerful performance, full fuel power, full electric propulsion, modular vertical launch, with powerful air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine functions, even strong ground attack capabilities, and very powerful electronic confrontation capabilities.

This is an all-round warship, and its functions are directly related to the missiles it carries. Equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, it has strong air defense capabilities and can serve as a sword-carrying guard to protect aircraft carriers.

Equipped with anti-ship missiles, it has strong anti-ship capabilities and can directly output long-range firepower to the enemy, which is extremely powerful.

Equipped with anti-submarine missiles and anti-submarine helicopters, it has strong anti-submarine capabilities.

If it performs ground strike missions, it can directly carry ground strike cruise missiles and has strong ground strike capabilities.

After Xu Huasheng finished speaking, Mr. Liu's breathing became rough.

He stared at the design drawing for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Xiaosheng, can we really build this design?"

Mr. Liu looked at Xu Huasheng with expectation in his eyes. Because this warship is too advanced and too powerful. It is much more powerful than the latest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in service in the United States.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Liu asked Xu Huasheng in this way, hoping to find a reassurance from Xu Huasheng.

"Mr. Liu, there is absolutely no problem. Mr. Liu, do you remember the cutter suction dredger built by our shipyard? The progress of this ship is relatively smooth now, including the all-electric propulsion system, which has also conquered many technologies. Within three years, the ship will definitely be officially started. If we can build a 30,000-ton dredger, we can build a destroyer of more than 10,000 tons. The power technology is fully capable. Let's talk about the radar system. Huadian now has very powerful technology. Even the active phased array radar on the aircraft has been available, and there will definitely be no problem on the warship..."

Xu Huasheng began to give the old man a reassurance pill, and when the reassurance pill was taken, the old man's face was full of smiles.

"Xiaosheng, if everything goes well, you predict that we can own this warship in a few years."

Mr. Liu asked again, Xu Huasheng pondered for a while, and finally stretched out a hand.

"Mr. Liu, if everything goes well, I estimate that within five years, our first ship should be able to be launched and enter the experimental stage, and within ten years, our warship will definitely be finalized and put into service. By that time, our country will alsoWe will definitely be much richer than we are now. Our shipbuilding capacity will definitely be stronger than it is now. By then, we can build them at the same time, and build seven or eight ships a year..."

Xu Huasheng's words made the old man laugh, his eyes full of longing.

"It would be great if we had an aircraft carrier by then..."

Old Liu said softly, thinking about aircraft carriers in his heart. Although the discussions in the past few days have proved that aircraft carriers may not be so important in the future.

But Old Liu also knew that it just seemed less important. For China, if it wants to go deep blue and have a strong global strike capability, aircraft carriers are still something that must be had.

"Old Liu, everything will be there. There will be 10,000-ton destroyers, aircraft carriers, and advanced nuclear submarines. Our Chinese navy will definitely go deep blue in the future. In the future, our fleet will be the sharp sword of our China. In the future, if China has something to do in the world, we can also ask where our aircraft carrier is first..."

Xu Huasheng's words made Old Liu laugh.

Yes, there will be. China's naval achievements in the past two years have made Old Liu extremely pleased.

Naval technology is developing in an all-round way, and anti-ship technology is developing in an all-round way. Not only has the surface technology made great progress, but the underwater technology is also the same.

The big black fish that Xu Huasheng brought back from the Soviet Union has now been dismantled into parts by China's technical experts. Many things inside are now being digested and absorbed.

After the technology of that ship is digested and absorbed, China will add its own technology and design concepts to design China's new nuclear submarine. By that time, the strength of China's new nuclear submarine will be a leapfrog development, stepping on the head of the Soviet giant and looking down on the whole world.

The comprehensive development of technology makes Old Liu full of beautiful expectations for the future of the Chinese Navy. Old Liu has been waiting all his life, waiting for China to have a strong navy. This is Old Liu's dream.
