I built an armada

Chapter 46 The second shot was successfully fired!
  Song Haidong said seriously: "Dean Lu, we are all ready!"

"Captain Song, follow me aboard!"

Lu Guangjun was in high spirits, and his hand holding the data recorder was trembling.

Song Haidong, who was walking aside, was suspicious and couldn't help but wonder.

"Dean Lu, how's the second reform going?"

"very successful!"

Song Haidong was stunned for a moment.

How long has it been since the last failure? It’s only been more than a month!
  He instinctively didn't believe it.

Because there has never been such a precedent before!

Although he is not a researcher, as a captain who has commanded many warships, he naturally understands the difficulty involved.

"Dean Lu, how long has it been since the last time we boarded the ship for testing? Is it too soon?"

"Is it fast? I still think it's too slow! You don't know, He Ding... is already several steps behind anyway."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, Lu Guangjun immediately swallowed the words in between.

Su Dingping's affairs are still strictly confidential, and no one who is not in a military base has the right to know.

Not even if Song Haidong is a colonel.

"Anyway, don't worry, as long as there are no problems in this test, our navy will officially enter the ranks of modernization!"

After a pause, Lu Guangjun added.

"A modern warship forged by ourselves!"

Before even stepping onto the deck, Song Haidong's heart was already filled with huge waves.

He knew that the 051B was originally the benchmark for modern warships in the world, but with the arrival of the 956E, the researchers discovered that they had underestimated the truly modern warships.

There is no way, there is no reference before, I can only deduce it based on a little information disclosed by a third party country.

Song Haidong still vividly remembers the dejected expressions of the two vice-deans after the last test failed.

"Dean Lu, it's only been more than a month, have we really overcome so many technical problems?"

As his footsteps landed on the deck, Lu Guangjun nodded heavily and said in a affirmative tone.

"Conquered!"

call--

Song Haidong's breathing became thicker: "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear any news?"

"It's been a while."

"How did you do it?"

"956E!"

"956E? I heard before that the 956E research failed, and the superiors are preparing to suspend the plan. What does this matter have to do with 956E?"

Song Haidong's head was buzzing at the moment.

How could a research project that had been clearly suspended suddenly bring major technological breakthroughs to Lu Guangjun and others?
  If it really had this effect, it would be impossible to suspend the research project.

As the captain, he knew about the purchase of two additional 956Es.

Lu Guangjun sighed softly: "This matter... it's a long story."

"Dean Lu, let's keep the story short."

Lu Guangjun glanced at Song Haidong, who looked anxious, and said something that made the other person almost vomit blood.

"Unfortunately, Captain Song, your level is not high enough."

what?
  Am I not level enough?
  What the hell?

I am a powerful captain in the navy, but my rank is not high enough? I know the news about the suspension of the 956E research plan. Is my level not high enough?
  Everyone in Song Haidong was numb.

Lu Guangjun still didn't let go: "Yes, your level is not enough! It is a key confidential project designated by the chief."

The more he said this, the more anxious Song Haidong became.

"Dean Lu, please tell me a little bit. You don't know yet, but I understand the rules and procedures. If not, let me take a step to speak."

Lu Guangjun, who led Song Haidong towards the main control room, pondered for a while before revealing a little bit.

"We learned some things on 956E, which greatly promoted our improvement of 051B."

The moment he heard these words, Song Haidong's heart trembled.

Has the 956E research achieved a breakthrough?
  Is the so-called suspension a cover?
  At this moment, his mind was filled with doubts.

He looked at Lu Guangjun with sharp eyes, trying to see something from his face.

"Dean Lu, is the second purchase of 956E a smoke bomb?"    "Ahem——"

Lu Guangjun's face suddenly looked a little unnatural.

He was a little embarrassed when the other party didn't pick up which pot he wanted to drink.

"It's not important, anyway... you will know it later."

While talking, a group of people came to the main control room.

"Captain Song, go to sea and prepare for the test!"

"Everyone is here, ready to go to sea!"

Accompanied by a huge roar, 051B slowly sailed out of the port.

When the end of the sea turned white, 051B had already appeared in the sea dozens of kilometers away from the port.

Lu Guangjun said in the main control room.

"It's almost time to start."

Song Haidong is not ambiguous either.

"Release the target!"

After a while, the signal soldier said: "Captain, the target is 65 kilometers away from our ship, please give instructions!"

"Keep going!"

"Captain, the target is 55 kilometers away from our ship. The radar has locked the target. Do you want to fire?"

55 kilometers?

Song Haidong's brows jumped sharply.

During the last test, the maximum active locking distance of the 051B was only 40 kilometers, and the strike range of the adapted Eagle Strike 8 was not enough.

This time the radar's active locking distance suddenly increased to 55 kilometers. What will happen to the installed YJ-8?
  Lu Guangjun nodded seriously.

Taking a deep breath, Song Haidong said: "Fire!"

A few seconds later, with two piercing whistling sounds piercing the sky, two anti-ship missiles soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.

Song Haidong quickly shifted his attention to the radar display.

On the display, the small red dot representing the target was floating in the sea 55 kilometers away, while the two small green dots representing the two anti-ship missiles were rapidly approaching.

After a while, the little red dot disappeared, the little green dot also disappeared, and then they heard an explosion in the distance.

Song Haidong said immediately.

"Observation platform!"

"Report to Captain, both shots hit, and the explosion points are..."

"Report to captain, the maximum strike range of anti-ship missiles is 55.4km..."

After listening to the report, Song Haidong was stunned for a moment.

It’s just that the radar’s active detection range has become longer, and the anti-ship missile’s strike range has also increased.

他可是清楚的记得，鹰击-801反舰导弹的打击距离在8-35公里。眼下直接可以打击55公里处的目标，极限打击距离直接提高了20公里！

This is of great significance to warships!

After all, the universal anti-ship missile strike standard for modern warships starts at 50 kilometers.

In other words, in the field of ship-based anti-ship missiles, those installed on the 051B have entered the ranks of modernization! Although it is just beyond the standard line, it is already amazing.

"Dean Lu, this?"

"The newly improved Eagle Strike-801A." Lu Guangjun said calmly: "Captain Song, please continue!"

"Launch the three-leaf target! Test the double-barreled 100mm fully automatic naval gun!"

"Yes, Captain!"

……

"Launch the three-leaf target! Test the Haihongqi anti-aircraft missile!"

"Yes, Captain!"

……

After nearly two hours of busy work, the sun had risen above the sea level, and the roaring sound of cannons on the 051B gradually stopped.

All tests are over.

In the main control room, Song Haidong stood there, his face full of shock.

There is only one thought in his mind at this moment - this is a modern warship built by ourselves!
