Set sail.

Let's go.

A long whistle sounded.

The destroyer Jinshajiang slowly sailed out of the harbor. Slowly march to the open sea.

As a newly launched warship, it has previously undergone several tests in the near sea. No problems were found with the individual systems. Now, it's going to be ready to go to the ocean. Went to the depths of the sea.

The Panshi 600 engine started steadily.

The speed is constantly increasing.

15 knots......

20 knots......

25 knots......

30 knots......

The speed is maintained at around 30 knots.

The main concern is what will happen to the drivetrain of the Rock 600.

After all, it's not a native design, it's an acquired modification. If the speed is too fast and the propeller shaft or propeller is broken, it will not be fun.

In fact, this is unfounded.

Wang Buan's suggestion is to pull directly to 40 knots of high speed.

There is a problem, and he is responsible.

Yes.

Then get on the highway.

Pull directly to 40 knots at high speeds. Brave the wind and waves.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

The waves stirred up by the propellers almost splashed onto the deck.

Although, special measures have been taken and special treatments have been made to prevent splashes. But, in fact, it doesn't work out very well.

The main thing is that the propellers are too big. The diameter is more than twenty meters. The total mass is more than 500 tons!

That's right, the weight of one propeller is 500 tons!

The total weight of the two propellers reached 1,000 tons!

In fact, these two propellers are not matched for large destroyers. It was intended for the Kwafu-class battleships.

The Kwafu-class battleship, ready to adopt four axles and four pulps. The displacement is at least 100,000 tons.

Using the propellers of the Kwafu-class battleships to propel a destroyer with a displacement of only 14,000 tons is simply genius.

In fact, the total displacement of the Jinshajiang destroyer is definitely more than 14,000 tons.

If it is towed, it can tow more than 30,000 tons.

Since the gas turbine has been completely replaced, its weight has been reduced considerably.

In general, its loading capacity is several times higher than that of the design drawings.

This sea trial, in fact, also has the meaning of checking and filling in the gaps.

The main thing is to study where there is still room for further improvement.

All warships in China in the future are estimated to be hydrogen-powered.

It's as if petroleum power replaced coal power. It is a historical development trend.

"Report! Submarine signal detected. ”

"Report! AWACS radar signal detected. ”

"Report! Directly in the east sea, 500 nautical miles away, there are unidentified warships. ”

"Report! In the northeastern sea, 600 nautical miles away, there are unidentified aircraft. ”

"Report! In the northeast sea, 300 nautical miles away, there is an electronic survey ship of a certain country. is trying to get close to my formation. ”

All kinds of information poured in.

Sure enough, it's a whole body!

The 10,000-ton destroyer of Huaxia, from the very beginning of its design, is very eye-catching.

In the process of manufacturing, it is also unknown how many people are trying to spy on relevant information. Now, it has been launched, tested at sea, and is about to officially go to sea, so it will naturally be concerned by all parties.

Among them, the most concerned is certainly the electronic survey ships of certain countries. They were to map the Jinsha's electronic signals.

Once there is this electronic signal, it is equivalent to the Jinshajiang has an ID card.

In the future, as long as the corresponding electronic signal is detected, it will be able to determine that it is the Jinshajiang large destroyer.

In fact, this electronic signal is unavoidable.

Unless you don't go to sea. Otherwise, you'll be drawn.

However, knowing that this is a large destroyer in China or a whole formation, he still dares to approach ......

It seems that the courage of a certain country is not small! Relying on the Chinese warships, it does not dare to open fire, right?

In fact, it is indeed impossible for the Huaxia warship to open fire.

This is where the electronic survey ship comes in.

If you open fire, then the situation is serious.

The best way to deal with an electronic survey ship is to get rid of it.

"The right is full of rudders, and it goes south. ”

"The speed is maintained at 40 knots. ”

Guan Quyang calmly ordered.

This time, Guan Hongru was still the supreme leader of the formation.

Why is there no general in charge?

It feels like the generals are busy......

Moreover, looking at this posture, Guan Hongru is estimated to be promoted to the military rank soon.

After all, in such a large formation, there should be at least one major general in charge.

In fact, it is enough to be led by Hongru.

After all, I had the experience of last time.

The translator also carried it. Foreign personnel also carried it.

Never face a language barrier again. Moreover, there were a lot of warships with them. There's always one or two talents.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

The battleship chopped the waves and advanced by leaps and bounds.

The electronic survey ship of a certain country was gradually left behind.

Its speed is obviously not up to 40 knots. Gradually, the distance between the two sides became farther and farther apart.

And the AWACS aircraft or something, it was also expelled from afar.

Our J-11, J-16, and J-17 fighters have all been dispatched.

In an instant, hundreds of planes appeared in the sky of the East China Sea. The frightened other party hugged his head and ran away.

Just kidding, hundreds of fighter jets! All of them are heavily armed.

If it really fights, it will be enough to wipe out the air force of more than 95% of the countries on the planet.

How many countries have air forces with more than 500 fighters?

The number of aircraft cannot be counted alone.

It must be calculated with actual combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, as in Iraq, planes are parked on the ground and there is a ghost.

Or maybe it's like Qatar. The number of aircraft of various models is significant. But the number of pilots was seriously insufficient. The same is useless.

There must be enough aircraft.

Must be enough pilots.

There must also be strong logistical support.

Without any of the three, it is impossible to form a real combat effectiveness.

Night falls.

The warship formation continued to move forward at high speed.

The preliminarily planned route is to go south from the sea east of Treasure Island. Then it passes through the sea east of the Philippines. Then from the Philippines to the south of the eastern sea of the Kangaroo Country.

It then enters the southern Indian Ocean from the South Pacific Ocean. Instead of going through the Strait of Malacca.

Why not take the Strait of Malacca?

The main reason is to avoid over-irritating Southeast Asian countries.

After all, this is a sensitive time. Last time, Wang Buan's drone made such a big move in Tianzhu Kingdom.

If the Chinese warship formation passes through the Strait of Malacca and enters the Indian Ocean, it is estimated that the whole Tianzhu country will have to pee their pants nervously.

After dinner, Wang Buan went back to his room to rest.

His status is very transcendent. There was actually a separate room.

On a warship where every inch of land is valuable, such treatment is basically only available to the captain and the political commissar.

Of course, the destroyer Jinshajiang has a large number of temporarily retrofitted beds. It's not crowded.

In fact, one of the most important benefits of hydrogen-powered engines is that they improve the living conditions of naval officers and sailors.

Due to the small size of hydrogen-powered engines, very little space needs to be occupied. In this way, more space will be freed up for officers and men to live and rest.

Even the size of the canteen can be doubled. Everyone is also much more relaxed when eating.

The previous three-storey shop has now been changed to two-storey.

The introduction of various electronic equipment has also greatly reduced the number of personnel.

In the past, if it was a 10,000-ton battleship, it definitely had thousands of officers and men. Accommodation is poor. Jam-packed.

Now, however, the huge destroyer Jinsha River has less than 180 officers and men.

And the 052D destroyer before the refit has a full 280 people!

It can be seen that in the future, the degree of automation of ships will be higher and higher, and the personnel that need to be equipped will be less and less.

In the future, the same 10,000 officers and men may be able to operate hundreds of ships.

Inadvertently, Wang Bu'an saw a familiar figure.

It was Phoenix and the others.

"Strange, how could he be on our warship?" Wang Buan said to himself.

"They're here to exchange and learn. Guan Hongru explained.

"When did you come?"

"A week ago. ”

"Oh. ”

Wang Buyan understood.

It is estimated that it operates through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This kind of exchange and learning is actually to expand the influence of China. Nature will not refuse.

Maybe when, our decommissioned 056 corvettes will be able to sell a large number to the Philippines. Of course, those 056 corvettes that do not have hydrogen power.

What can the Philippines exchange for?

Banana?

Who wants its bananas!

We want its islands. Or the right to berth in a deep-water port.

What we want is that warships can be free to anchor in the local area and be free to replenish supplies. In the past, fresh water needed to be replenished. It's definitely not needed now.

"How long do you study?"

"It didn't say it. ”

"That's to raise money while studying?"

"Don't say that......"

"Huh. ”

Wang Buan shook his head, opened the door and went to sleep.

If you don't show a little sincerity, who cares about you?

The bald eagle has no time to take care of anything else, and Phoenix they can only seek the protection of Huaxia.

Otherwise, if a "deep-sea monster" appears near the Philippines, what can the Philippines do?

The largest displacement of Philippine warships is less than 1,700 tons. It's not as good as a 056H corvette in Huaxia. How could it be an opponent of the "Monster of the Deep"?

When they got up the next morning, the warship had already arrived in the eastern waters of the Philippines.

The speed of 40 knots, sure enough, is not covered.

The speed of the entire formation was so strong.

It has been 20 hours since the departure. It was 800 nautical miles. That's almost 1,500 kilometers.

For a warship, such a rush speed is absolutely unprecedented.

And this speed will continue to be maintained.

At such a pace, the formation will enter the waters of the Indian Ocean in 100 hours.

Came out of the room and met Phoenix again.

This time, Phoenix immediately identified Wang Buan.

"Chief Engineer Wang!"

"Chief Engineer Wang!"

Phoenix exclaimed, both enthusiastically and nervously.
