Xigong University, since Chen Nian left the school to go to Dalian, Li Xiang seemed to feel that a big part of his life was missing.

In the past, I could discuss plans with Chen Nian every day, talk about the recent changes in the international situation, and the official countermeasures, but now.

Just plunge into work.

Recently, due to the first flight of the H-20 and the earth-shattering appearance of this sci-fi fighter on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the public opinion environment in China has improved a lot, and his workload has also been reduced a lot.

However, he didn't intend to just lie down like this, but kept thinking about how to create a new opportunity to further cleanse the sand in the public opinion of Huaxia society.

It's a pity that after experiencing face-slapping and setbacks again and again, those sailors and public intellectuals have also learned to be smart.

They no longer jumped out and barked as soon as there was a sign of trouble, but changed their strategy and never made a move until the critical moment.

This made it more difficult for Li Xiang to catch the flaws, and naturally it was also more difficult to lure them into the bait.

The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, and Li Xiang even thought about giving himself a vacation.

——

However, it was at this time that the news that the Zumwalt had entered full-speed production was reported.

How do you say that?

When I want to sleep, I get a pillow, and when I want to sleep, I get my uncle.

Li Xiang couldn't wait to send an email to thank Lao Mei for his assist, and thank them for giving him the opportunity to make a big fuss.

He immediately sent an application to his superiors, and obtained all the technical information about this "future warship" from various intelligence sources.

Later, he collected the public documents of the 055 historical project and summarized a set of the most credible technical parameters.

Using these two sets of parameters, he planned to do a good job.

If it is done well, it will not only help to identify and clarify the "spies" hidden among ordinary people, but also make the US relax its vigilance and create a better external environment for the 055 project.

After all, with such a fierce confrontation, no one wants the project to be disturbed in any way.

A few days later, under Li Xiang's hand-crafting, an article suddenly became popular on the Huaxia Internet.

The title of the article can also be said to be simple and direct to the extreme.

"Comparison between Zumwalt and 055, it is clear at a glance who is better"

In this article, Li Xiang compared the gap between the two ships in detail. He absorbed and learned the Spring and Autumn style of writing used by Western media including the BBC and the New York Times. Huyou went in.

And such elaborate bait has also achieved excellent results. On several core military online forums, military fans who did not have much hope for 055 became more and more pessimistic.

"Fuck, this article was written by an insider. The data is so detailed, so there is no leak?"

"Theoretically, it should not be. Most of the data collected by this person is the data that has been made public in the early stage, and then he made a reasonable guess based on the development of the navy in the past two years. If this can be considered a leak, then our forum will not exist after that. It's necessary."

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't a writer of novels be invited to drink tea before? He said that the data he predicted for China's next-generation fighter jets was too accurate."

"Ham, he's purely unlucky. Besides, leaking advanced technology is called leaking secrets. Read the article yourself, what's so advanced about 055?"

As soon as this comment was posted, everyone on the forum fell silent.

Indeed, according to the data concocted by Li Xiang, although the whole ship of 055 can be regarded as extremely cost-effective and acceptable in combat effectiveness, the problem is that there is really no amazing technical blessing.

Especially when this warship carrying the hopes of the Navy is placed in the same position as Zumwalt, the gap is even more obvious.

According to the design standard, the radar reflection area of ​​the 15,000-ton Zumwalt is only equivalent to that of a 100-ton boat. Compared with other destroyers in the world, the radar detection distance is shortened by more than 90%, and the stealth ability is outstanding.

The 055 ship basically does not have stealth capabilities. The only thing that improves the stealth effect is the comprehensive integrated mast design-but according to Li Xiang's "speculation", this design may not be realized yet.

Zumwalt uses an all-electric propulsion system, making sailing a boat as easy as driving a car.

Under extreme conditions, even one operator can drive this warship away. The level of intelligence and electrification is frighteningly high, which also brings him great tactical flexibility.

As for the 055 ship, even the comprehensive power system of the ship is still in the test process, and the control is complicated and the flexibility is extremely poor.

Zumwalt is equipped with two AGS advanced naval gun systems, and even plans to equip electromagnetic guns with the MK-51 vertical launch system, which is scary in terms of shore-to-shore capabilities and anti-ship capabilities.

Such a warship approaching the coastline of any country will pose a huge threat to it.

Some small countries may even be directly wiped out by this destroyer.

But what about 055? It is most likely to be equipped with the old H/PJ-87 100mm naval gun. The prototype of this thing is the French 100mm rapid-fire gun decades ago. The maximum range is nearly 17 kilometers. Can't even touch the coast.

Even if the main gun is upgraded and replaced with a 130mm main gun, the firepower increase it can bring is extremely limited.

Not to mention, there is a high probability that 055 will use a cold hair system.

The only thing that can be evenly matched is probably the power source, radar, and electronic system.

But the problem is that 055 has strong power, and Zumwalt has strong power.

Our radar is strong, and the dual-band radar on Zumwalt is no worse than 055.

As for electronics, is there any country in the world that can be stronger than Laomei?

Let's judge!

For a while, everyone stopped discussing the gap between the two, and instead began to seriously study how to replace a Zumwalt with several 055 ships.

After all, other people's ships are expensive, but our ships are cheap. Even if we exchange one more, it is still a good deal.

". So in summary, according to the current comparison of combat effectiveness, if 055 is 1, Zumwalt is at least 10."

"According to the current US plan, at least 30 Zumwalt-class ships will be built in the next 20 years, which means that our 055 must build at least 300 ships to compete with it."

Seeing this comment, Li Xiang laughed so hard that he was a little lost.

He couldn't believe how pleased the Navy would be with such talk.

300 055s, it's really a shame that netizens dare to think about it this year

He was planning to use his authority to post a few more discussion posts to create some excitement, but at this moment, the phone that was placed aside suddenly rang.

It was Chen Nian who came to order.

Li Xiang picked up the phone and said cheerfully:

"Hey, Chen Nian, aren't you busy today? Why did you remember to call me?"

Chen Nian's voice on the other end of the phone was a little tired, but a hint of ridicule could still be vaguely heard in his tone.

He said:

"Is it you who posted those posts on the Internet? What's going on?"

Li Xiang didn't hide anything, but answered bluntly:

"Our team did it. How about it? Interesting?"

"We have also considered the current public opinion environment comprehensively. After the H-20 took off, our public opinion has become a little overheated."

"This situation can easily arouse excessive attention from the US side, especially under the premise that we have announced the 055 project with great fanfare."

"So, we intend to cool down public opinion in this way."

"On the one hand, it is to create a relatively safe environment for the project, and on the other hand, it is also to blow up those hidden spies to see if we can lure them out."

"Fishing, huh?"

Chen Nian asked dumbfoundedly.

"Hey, no fishing, no fishing"

Li Xiang replied with a dry smile.

"Haven't caught yet? There should be quite a few people who have taken the bait, right?"

What Chen Nian said is not false, like what Li Xiang released, if it is put in 20 years or even ten years, it will be a serious hook and salty bait.

It's not even fishing, it's just throwing a basin to the water's edge and waiting for the fish to jump in by themselves.

But in the current environment, the navy has not yet started to make dumplings, and national self-confidence, especially technological self-confidence, has not really been established. When encountering this situation, most people will not first doubt "is this fishing?" I began to summarize and reflect on the eight classics.

This is why, Li Xiang's article can cause such a big response.

Because he writes really professionally.

Even from Chen Nian's point of view, this represents the most typical way of treating 055 in this era.

After hearing Chen Nian's rhetorical question, Li Xiang simply stopped pretending.

"Oh, it's no big deal to catch those reactionary public intellectuals just by fishing."

"You don't know how interesting this stuff is. Many times I almost can't tell whether the netizens on those forums are serious or talking ironically."

"Just now, I also saw a comment saying that one Zumwalt is worth 10 055s, so we need to build at least 300 055s to fight against the old Americans."

"This kid doesn't even think about it, what is the concept of 300 destroyers, let alone dominating the world, this is the Galaxy Fleet."

"."

Chen Nian on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"You look at the public opinion monitoring data every day, and you don't know who posted that comment?"

Li Xiang was taken aback by Chen Nian's question, and subconsciously asked:

"Who posted it? Someone from the Navy?"

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly reacted.

"Wait a minute? You won't tell me, you posted the comment, right?"

".it's me."

Chen Nian replied helplessly.

In fact, he just browsed the forum for a while during his work break, and happened to see Li Xiang's article, and when he got interested, he replied one.

Unexpectedly, it was caught by Li Xiang.

"...You're really good, forget it, I won't tell you."

"Seriously, who do you think has a better chance of winning compared to Zumwalt?"

"...Don't be kidding me, just that kind of industrial waste, is it worthy of comparison with 055?"

What Chen Nian said was a little crazy, but in reality, it wasn't that much of an exaggeration.

Because, according to his previous experience, the so-called "sci-fi battleship" is actually a very weak weapon.

Although at the beginning of its birth, the purpose of this warship is to have both shore and ship strike capabilities.

But as a series of problems such as budget and technology continue to emerge, its positioning has gradually changed.

From a comprehensive strike to a pure strike against the shore.

Its means of combat is to break through to the offshore area to attack the shore, and the design of the entire ship is also executed around this goal.

But the problem is that Huaxia will not give Zumwalt this opportunity.

With the launch of the Navy's dumping operation, coupled with the launch of aircraft carriers and the acceleration of reclamation and island construction, the entire island chain defense system has rapidly formed. A few Zumwalts want to break through, but it is really not enough for the South China Sea Fleet.

A destroyer without anti-ship capabilities is also equipped to sail at sea?

The so-called "advanced integrated warfare" positioning is purely an excuse for the weak

Otherwise, why after the birth of 055, did Lao Mei desperately want to equip Zumwalt with hypersonic anti-ship missiles?

Hearing Chen Nian's answer, Li Xiang instantly felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand what you said."

"I won't break up with you, I haven't finished playing this card yet, you hurry up and go to work, and go to the forum to see the excitement when you have time."

After speaking, Li Xiang hung up the phone.

And the second material that he had already prepared was immediately published on the Internet.

Compared with the hard-core data comparison of the first material, this material is much more friendly to the people, because it is real, a war game simulation deduction!

"Ship 055 and the British Bravery-class destroyer battle flag deduction, 055 was defeated!"

The Bravery-class destroyer is an advanced destroyer launched by the United Kingdom in 2006. It is known as a guard with a knife tailor-made for the Queen Elizabeth by the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Compared with Zumwalt, its overall design is not so sci-fi, but its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Or in other words, if 055 can't even beat the brave class, then don't even think about raising a bar with the famous Zumwalt.

As soon as the material was sent out, the forum, which had finally calmed down, exploded in an instant.

"Damn it? What's the situation? It's the same author again? There's even a wargame deduction? You're not an insider?"

"It's not a big deal. I also have software, but I just don't have the data. After importing the data, I can make it-don't worry about where the materials come from, and look at the results first!"

"12 vs. 12, 055 vs. Bravery, the battle loss is actually 12:0? Are you kidding me, is 055 that weak?!"

"It's not that 055 is weak. It should be said that the Bravery class is too strong. After all, this thing is also one of the most advanced destroyers."

"Not to mention anything else, Aster-15 and Aster-30 alone can completely suppress Eagle Strike-1."

"Moreover, the Bravery class also has NSM missiles, and can also be equipped with Harpoon missile launchers. It has a strong anti-ship capability."

"No matter how strong it is, it won't be 12:0, right? As for being so exaggerated?"

"Who knows? Check out the post from the host. He said that he will upload a video of the simulation process soon."

Watching everyone's discussion, Li Xiang felt a sense of satisfaction that tantalized him even more.

He waited a full two hours before uploading the video that he had prepared long ago, and this video will completely disrupt the muddy water of "055's strength judgment".

——

However, that's what he wanted.

Soon, the video uploaded successfully.

And when military fans opened this video, they all marveled at the professionalism of the video author.

At the same time, they were also lost in thought because of the battle between the two warships.

This battle was fought.

It's really a little too frustrating.
