I built an armada

Chapter 61 Sharpen the knife!

Noticing Sun Yongguo's gaze, Zhou Qinglei quickly said with a smile: "What can I have on my mind? Nothing."

Su Dingping gave the other party a meaningful look.

Is there something hidden?

Thinking of this, Su Dingping did not delve into it further.

He has been staying here during this period and has no contact with the outside world, so he still doesn't know about the fourth King Kong-class guide ship.

Not long after everyone arrived at the port, a huge warship approached.

When the warship stopped, Zhou Qinglei, Su Dingping and others boarded the warship.

"Everyone, you can take a walk and I'll go take over."

With that said, Zhou Qinglei walked towards the main control room.

"Let's go, Dingping. We are familiar with 052, let's give you a good introduction." As he spoke, Sun Yongguo took Su Dingping for a stroll on the warship.

While walking, Sun Yongguo said.

"052, commissioned in 94. The length of the ship is 142.7 meters, the width is 15 meters, the draft is 5.1 meters, and the full load displacement is 4200 tons. It uses gas turbines for power. It is also the first warship in our navy to use gas turbines..."

Lu Guangjun added from the side: "Dingping, come this way."

he said, pointing to the weapons systems on the deck.

“4座双联装鹰击1反舰导弹，最大射程35公里。1座双联装100毫米舰炮，最大射程……4门双联37毫米近防炮……”

"The ship-based air defense missile is the Sidewinder missile of Lanxi. It has certain air defense capabilities. To put it bluntly, it is 'point air defense'."

Su Dingping nodded and said: "Sidewinder missile, I remember the maximum range is only 10 kilometers."

Zhang Gongnong took over and said: "Yes, before the birth of 051C, we were fielding short-range air defense missiles."

After walking around, Su Dingping looked at the 052 in front of him.

It is hard to imagine that the 052, which is not yet a modern warship, can ignore the King Kong-class guide drive after the 052D has been improved with four wheels: A, B, C and D.

052D于12年下水，14年正式列装海军，和052导驱94年服役相比，前后也就隔了20年。

Standing at the juncture of 00 and looking at the future, who would have thought that the navy, which is still struggling at the threshold of modernization, would be able to ignore the 14th Fleet in [-] years.

Countless military fans would slap themselves in disbelief after waking up in the middle of the night: Damn it, I woke up and became a great power?
  Su Dingping's eyes fell on Sun Yongguo and others. It was they who led the arduous navy to break out of the siege and created a powerful naval nation for future generations of Chinese people.

"Dingping, why do you look at me like this?" Sun Yongguo felt a little hairy when Su Dingping looked at him.

"Nothing." Su Dingping smiled and changed the topic: "The combat level of 052 has not even reached the threshold of modernization. It is of little significance to equip the Northern Fleet."

Sun Yongguo and others did not speak.

Not to mention anything else, the 35-kilometer anti-ship missile strike range alone clearly demonstrates the gap between non-modernization and modernization.

In a sea battle, any depth or tactics are meaningless.

Other people's anti-ship missiles can hit 052 or 35 kilometers, but [-] can only hit [-] kilometers. How to play?
  It can only be intercepted with anti-aircraft missiles!
  The biggest difference between pointable air defense and area air defense is that the number of interceptions is too small.

If the main battle weapons are so weak, how can we expect the electronic countermeasures system on the warship to interfere with enemy missiles?
  Being technologically backward is the original sin.

As Su Dingping said, such a warship can basically not make a big splash when faced with the all-modern fleets around it.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it." Sun Yongguo explained: "If it weren't for the emergence of 051C, our most powerful one would only be 051B, followed closely by 052."

"And the 051B has not had time to enter service, so the most powerful warship in our navy before the millennium is the 052!"

"We now have 051C and 956E core technology, so naturally we look down on 052. But last year..."

Sun Yongguo whispered.

"The chief is looking forward to 052 very much."

Zhang Gongnong nodded repeatedly. If his horizons hadn't broadened after meeting Su Dingping, he would still feel very strong when he saw 052 now.

There was nothing about 052 that attracted him. After reading it, Su Dingping planned to leave.

At this time, Zhou Qinglei completed the handover and came over.

As soon as he came up, he said with a smile: "Dingping, how about this 052? In our North Sea Fleet, it is now the leader!"

"Captain Zhou, I know that there is such a huge gap between the two after sending off 956E and picking up 052. Please don't worry and give me some time..."

Zhou Qinglei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Su Dingping had asked him if he had something on his mind.

He knew that Su Dingping had misunderstood. “Dingping is not what you think. For us, 052 is very strong and we are very satisfied.”

Su Dingping looked at Sun Yongguo, his eyes seemed to ask: Did I guess wrong?

Sun Yongguo turned his face away.

Su Dingping looked at Lu Guangjun again. Lu Guangjun looked at his nose and mouth and pretended not to know.

His eyes fell on Zhou Qinglei again, and he found that Zhou Qinglei looked like he was going to send them off the warship, which made him suspicious.

"Dean Sun, are you hiding something from me?"

"no!"

"Dean Lu?"

"I do not know anything."

"Captain Zhou?"

"The moonlight is really beautiful tonight."

Su Dingping reminded: "Captain Zhou, the clouds are thick tonight and the moon cannot be seen."

Zhou Qinglei smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that several people were silent, Su Dingping strengthened his speculation.

"Dean Sun, if you don't tell me, I will go directly to Chief Xu."

Sun Yongguo sighed and said: "In fact, Dingping is not a big deal. Just today, the outside world suddenly exposed the data parameters of Dongyang's fourth King Kong-class guided drive."

Lu Guangjun quickly added: "Dingping, this matter is really nothing. You must not have any thoughts. The chief does not allow us to tell you because he is afraid that you will be under too much pressure and your body will not be able to bear it."

"It's much stronger than the optimized 956E."

Su Dingping's casual words shocked Sun Yongguo.

"Dingping, how did you know?"

"It is indeed much stronger. It is said that it can rival the Burke-class guides of the beautiful country! People outside are panicking now, and our navy is still under great pressure..." Before Lu Guangjun could finish his words, he was gently pushed by Sun Yongguo, and he quickly shut up. Say no more.

"It's getting late, I have to go back and rest." With that said, Su Dingping walked straight off the warship.

It wasn't until Su Dingping left that Sun Yongguo complained: "Old Lu, why do you say you are so quick to talk? Are these things you can say? Don't you know how heavy the burden is on Dingping's shoulders? It's okay now, you say so , how can you let him sleep at night?"

"Didn't I just say it casually? I didn't expect it."

Su Dingping, who returned to the barracks, did not directly enter the military industrial illustration forging space.

He picked up the pen and quickly listed all the core technologies of 052 on the paper.

According to his original idea, he planned to deal with 052D in one step.

But now the external situation has changed beyond his expectations, so he needs to make some adjustments.

Then, he listed A, B, C, and D.

052D takes too long and will not be considered for now. The 052C is equipped with a basic active phased array radar. Even the United States is still using passive phased array radar. It is a good choice to conquer the 052C as soon as possible, but it takes a long time and is not the best choice for emergencies.

When his eyes fell on A, Su Dingping crossed it out without hesitation.

There is already an optimized 956E, so 052A is of little significance.

In the end, there is only one B left.

After pondering for a while, Su Dingping's eyes gradually brightened.

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Su Dingping's thoughts.

"Dingping, have you rested?"

"Dean Sun, I'm not asleep yet."

As soon as he came in, Sun Yongguo said with some guilt: "Dingping, don't take today's matter to heart. Our original intention..."

Before Sun Yongguo could finish speaking, Su Dingping said suddenly.

"Dean, I plan to adjust the following courses!"
