A sea area in the North Andaman Sea.

A ship formation consisting of two Tiangong Aegis-class missile destroyers, two Irrawaddy-class missile destroyers, a Mandalay-class amphibious assault ship, a Baron John-class medium-sized aircraft carrier, several transport ships, and medical ships used their huge bows one by one to cut through layers of waves, forming a battle formation and stirring up countless silver waves at normal cruising speeds, sailing unscrupulously in this sea area, which no longer belongs to the maritime boundaries of the Eastern Union.

If you look down from the sky from the satellite, you will find that these steel giants such as the Tiangong Aegis-class guided destroyer, the Irrawaddy-class missile frigate, the Mandalay-class amphibious assault ship, and the Baron John Young-class aircraft carrier are like stars and moons surrounding a huge steel flower, and the blooming stamen is a new type of warship with a length of more than 180 meters and a width of more than 22 meters, like an enlarged version of the Tiangong Aegis-class, sailing murderously under the bright moonlight.

As the lead ship of the "Famous General" class destroyer and the first nuclear-powered large arsenal ship launched by the Eastern Union Navy, the blatant sea trials carried out by the "Bai Qi" this time have attracted the close attention of many military satellites in space.

From the day when the former North Burmese Navy began to build this large ship with a full load displacement of 16,500 tons and codenamed 055A, I don't know how many intelligence agencies have been watching the construction and progress of this super warship, which represents the most powerful navy in the world today.

@"Baiqi"This public sea trial is not the first sea trial to be launched. Prior to this, many sea trials have been conducted, and this time it will be officially announced to all countries in the world that the world's navy will usher in the era of famous generals after entering the era of stealth ships.

With such an important naval feast, Yang Weiping has something on his mind. You won't miss it.

At this moment, Yang Weiping was on the bridge of the flagship "Baron John Yang", quietly observing every tactical move of the "Bai Qi" through the telescope.

The main gun of the "Famous General" class 10,000-ton super drive adopts a new 155mm 55 times naval gun made by the Eastern Union, and it is planned to replace the electromagnetic gun and laser cannon in the later stage.

The "Mingjiang" class radar is a newly developed multi-mode active phase air array radar. The detection range can reach up to 600 nautical miles, and it can monitor targets hundreds of times. In the fully automatic mode, the target can be automatically assigned to the corresponding combat unit, including the own ship and other combat units, and the missile interception of a single ship is divided into four layers.

The vertical launch system is also the latest general-purpose system, with a total of 128 units, 64 in the front and 64 in the rear, and the length of each unit's launch tube is up to 16 meters, and each unit is based on the combat mission. 1-8 missiles can be installed, so the number of missiles can reach 128-1024 pieces. As a universal vertical launch device, it can launch anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and anti-ship missiles, as well as land-attack cruise missiles and various long-range ballistic missiles.

According to the missiles installed in the "Famous General" class, the 10,000-ton destroyer is divided into the integrated destroyer 055A, which is a mixture of anti-submarine missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, land-attack missiles, and anti-ship missiles, and the arsenal ship 055B, which is equipped with cruise missiles and ballistic missiles as super-saturation attack fire support.

If it is to be specifically aimed at air defense, the "Mingjiang" class is in addition to ordinary anti-aircraft missiles. It is also possible to install the newly developed Houyi I ballistic missile, which is similar to Standard 3, to form an ASEAN sea-based missile interception system.

The "Celebrity" class is fully electrically propulsed. It is divided into two types: conventional power and nuclear power, and the speed can reach 35 knots.

There is no doubt that the launching of the "Famous General" class will mark the solid position of the Eastern Union Navy in the global navy, and it will also mean that the "Arleigh Burke"-class guided missile destroyers and "Ticonderoga"-class missile cruisers under construction by the US Navy will face the embarrassing situation of obsolescence.

According to the plan of the Eastern Union Navy, a total of eight ships of the "Famous General" class will be built. Among them, two are conventionally powered, six are nuclear-powered, and the aircraft carrier battle formation of the Eastern Union Navy has become: one Imperial-class nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carrier, one Mandalay-class amphibious assault ship, two "Famous General" classes, four Tiangong Aegis-class, and four Irrawaddy-class classes.

All the officers and men on the "white rise" knew that the Führer was on the flagship aircraft carrier "Baron John Young" at the moment, quietly observing their every tactical move. Although everyone was excited and nervous, no one fell off the chain.

A Wuzhi-10H carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter was unhurriedly pushed out of the helicopter hangar at the stern of the ship by the ground crew, and soon, the four rotors that were hanging low and pulling slowly rotated.

Liu Xing, lieutenant colonel commander of the 2nd Armed Helicopter Regiment of the 1st Naval Aviation Division of the Eastern Union Navy, turned on some of the avionics switches, and the entire helicopter suddenly turned into a steel giant with red and green night lights flashing up and down the body. Taking a deep breath, he waved his gloved right hand, and said in a low voice to Major Wang Hongbing, who was sitting in the back row: "Hongbing, it's finally our turn to appear! Turn on the power of the avionics system!" After speaking, Liu Xing turned on the main light switch.

The signal guide, who was wearing a yellow bright silver reflective vest, retreated to a safe distance and gestured for Liu Xing to continue.

As the throttle is pushed wider, the powerful roar of the turboshaft engine quickly transforms the four paddle hubs and rotor blades connected by a flexible V-shaped steel strip stack into a translucent wheel of light and shadow.

Wang Hongbing tightened the flight helmet with sights on his head, and stared at the avionics system in front of him without blinking, "The avionics system is fully powered, the target acquisition system (TADS) system is normal, the pilot's night vision system (PNVS) is normal, the total pressure ratio of the power system is 18, the maximum output power is 1940 horsepower, the specific fuel consumption is 77.6ug/j, the power system is normal, and it can take off!"

As a veteran who switched from army aviation to Hainan Airlines, Wang Hongbing loves the performance of the two Tiangong T-700-G-701C turboshaft engines installed in the Wuzhi-10H more than his wife.

This turboshaft engine, which represents one of the highest levels of the aviation industry of Oriental Union, has a total pressure ratio of 18 compared with the previous 701B's 17, and the maximum continuous output has also increased from the original 1510 horsepower to 1662 horsepower, and can continue to output 1800 horsepower for 30 minutes, and the 2.5-minute continuous emergency output power has also increased from the original 1723 horsepower to 1940 horsepower, and the specific fuel consumption rate has been reduced from the original 78.7 to 77.6.

As Wang Hongbing's words fell, Liu Xing calmly and slowly pulled the operating lever. After the helicopter shook suddenly, the landing gear slowly left the ship's surface apron, and the entire Wuzhi 10-h gradually rose into the air without any swing.

The signal guide stood like a nail in the strong wind blowing from the helicopter rotors, and gestured to Liu Xing, who was in the front seat of the cockpit, indicating that Liu Xing could continue to fly the plane to increase the altitude.

"Red soldier, do you think the Führer can see the two of us?" Liu Xing's tone had an obvious hint of nervousness.

"It will definitely be possible!" Wang Hongbing replied without hesitation: "Antisubmarine warfare is one of the important subjects in this sea trial! The Führer's concern for our HNA is there. Will definitely keep an eye on it!"

In order to compete for the crew members of the antisubmarine helicopter on board the "Bai Qi," the air units and pilots of the Air Force, Army Air Force, and Navy bases of the Eastern Union Air Force conducted repeated selections for almost a year and a half.

All pilots and aviation officers know that as the first nuclear-powered 10,000-ton drive ship of the Eastern Union Navy, Yang Weiping, who has always attached great importance to the navy, will definitely pay attention to it at all times.

Liu Xing and Wang Hongbing were able to stand out from the crowd of elite pilots and aviation units and become the pilots of the first anti-submarine helicopter crew of the "Bai Qi." They were undoubtedly extremely excellent in terms of piloting skills, physical elements, and psychological elements. But that's it. The two of them still couldn't hide the excitement and nervousness in their hearts at this moment.

Since 1978, the Eastern Union Navy has been flying carrier-based fighters and carrier-based anti-submarine helicopters. By the time the first Mandalay-class amphibious assault ship was officially launched, five carrier-based helicopters had been damaged due to a variety of common accidents on the ship's surface, such as takeoff, mishandling, and landing gear collision during landing, and four HNA aviation officers had lost their precious lives.

And the night take-off, anti-submarine, and landing missions such as those carried out by Liu Xing and Wang Hongbing are also deeply troubled by the young Eastern Union naval aviation, even those old birds of the US Navy. Almost every naval aviation unit encounters accidents of various sizes to a greater or lesser extent.

"Petrel 3-101, center of gravity test before takeoff. Liu Xing shouted into the microphone, and with his shouting, the Wuzhi began to pitch back and forth, rolling left and right for 10 hours.

"It's normal to lean forward. Leaning back normally," Wang Hongbing reported: "Left scrolling is normal." The right flip is normal, the tilting disc follows normally, and it returns to the initial state, and the center of gravity is on the main axis. ”

The world's first-class nuclear-powered stealth 10,000-ton drive, of course, must be matched with a first-class anti-submarine helicopter.

This Wuzhi 10H has the world's most advanced avionics and observation/launch control system. Its main observation system is located in the nose of the aircraft. It is divided into the TKAN/ASQ-170 target acquisition system (TASD), as well as the TKAN/AAQ-11 pilot night vision system (PNVS).

The target acquisition system consists of five components: a laser ranging and calibrator, a forward-looking infrared system, an optical direct sight for gunners, a daytime television camera, and a laser calibrator. All housed in a rotating tower with a dual-axis stabilized system in the nose of the aircraft, the crew can aim and lock onto the target even in the heat of tactical movement, and the use of the forward-looking infrared system greatly increases the Wuzhi 10h's night combat capability.

The pilot's night vision system is a forward-looking infrared system designed for night flights. Located in a separate rotating tower above the nose, pilots have a clearer view of the exterior when flying dangerous nighttime landscapes.

"TADS horizontal rotation left and right 120 degrees is normal! Vertical pitch is normal with a maximum of -60 degrees and a minimum of +30 degrees!" Wang Hongbing continued to report various take-off tests of the helicopter: "PNVS is normal for horizontal rotation of 90 degrees left and right! The maximum angle of vertical pitch is -45 degrees, and the minimum angle is +20 degrees!"

If American or British intelligence agents learn of these numbers, they will be taken by surprise. Because this Wuzhi 10H replaces the starlight night vision goggles with a front infrared system as the main night vision system on board. This is definitely a big innovation in today's world!
