Chapter 400: Hit it right

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe cost of an aircraft carrier in the United States is billions of dollars, and the maintenance cost of 50 years of service will not be less than 20 billion dollars.
If you add the weapon system, it's even more expensive.
Plus the corvette, as well as its weapons systems, all sorts of equipment, and the cost is greater.
Someone has calculated that it costs more than 100 billion RMB to build an aircraft carrier battle group.
Ye Chen is now wealthy, it is impossible for him to raise an aircraft carrier battle group, he does not have the economic strength. However, it is not a problem to pay for the fuel of the aircraft carrier.
Admiral Luo originally wanted to choke Ye Chen, but he was choked by Ye Chen, a little embarrassed.
"Lao Luo, it's not good for you to choke on anyone, just go and choke Xiaoye, isn't it uncomfortable?" Admiral Gan took the opportunity to ridicule and said: "People, getting on the wealth list is a matter of minutes, and it is easier than us eating and drinking. ā
This is an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration. Future Concept Technology is now the world's most potential high-tech company, as the company's largest shareholder, Ye Chen's wealth is skyrocketing, one step at a time. If you want to be on the wealth list, there is no difficulty for Ye Chen.
"Chief, let me tell you, I didn't plan to pay this money myself, I planned to find someone to reimburse me." Ye Chen's words were amazing.
"Reimbursement? Who do I get reimbursed? Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan were stunned.
"Of course, it's to ask the United States for reimbursement." Ye Chen teased.
Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan burst out laughing, and the two pointed at Ye Chen with a playful expression.
How ruthless Ye Chen was in cleaning up the United States, they couldn't be clearer. Isn't the United States very bullish? In front of Ye Chen, he had to bow his head, and he had to take out the military base to make a deal with the Celestial Empire.
Later, Ye Chen asked the United States to settle the high-tech arrears owed to our country and make compensation, but the United States did not dare not do it.
It is not impossible for Ye Chen to ask the United States to reimburse the fuel cost of the aircraft carrier. Ye Chen casually found some excuses, for example, the price of photonic chips was going to rise, and the United States had to buy it, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
"So, the cost of fuel is not a problem, let's drive the aircraft carrier." Ye Chen patted his chest and reassured.
Ye Chen really wanted to see the domineering appearance of the aircraft carrier sailing in the sea.
"Don't think about that, it's impossible." Admiral Luo shook his head and said, "The aircraft carrier can't come, not because it can't afford the fuel bill, but because it has another major mission. ā
Ye Chen's curiosity was aroused all of a sudden, and he asked, "Chief, what are the tasks?" ā
"These tasks are all open secrets, and you also know it, that is, to prepare for the service of domestic aircraft carriers." Admiral Luo reminded him and said, "Think for yourself." ā
The first aircraft carrier of our country came from the hull purchased from that country. The hull that we bought from that country was a half-finished product, and it was not built, and our country continued to build it, and eventually we had the first aircraft carrier of our country.
Many people are accusing our country of not acting cost-effectively, because the design of this hull is outdated and there are many problems. What they say is true, but, have they ever thought about one thing, that is, why would the state do it?
Can we build a manufacturing team just by designing, without manufacturing?
Can it be possible to have a design and R&D team without a manufacturing team?
Although it is a semi-finished product, we can build our manufacturing team, which can inspect existing problems and conduct technical verification. The first domestic aircraft carrier has already made a lot of improvements on this basis, with more advanced performance, which has already been confirmed.
That's why our country is going to complete the manufacture of this hull.
The foreign media have been smearing us, believing that the first aircraft carrier of our country can only be a training ship and cannot form combat effectiveness. However, what happened not long ago gave these foreign media a resounding slap in the face, and our aircraft carrier battle group went to sea for exercises, forming an "initial combat capability".
However, the main role of the first aircraft carrier is to accumulate and prepare for the service of domestic aircraft carriers.
Who called this the first aircraft carrier? Whether it is domestic or not, the first aircraft carrier will take on this heavy responsibility.
If our country wants to build a blue-water navy and go to the deep blue, it will need not one or two, but many. If there is a war, it will be even more. The task of the aircraft carrier is really heavy, and although Ye Chen is very reluctant, he has to accept this reality.
Admiral Luo commanded through photonic information technology, and the ships reported that the situation was good.
"Not bad! Not bad! Very good! Admiral Luo's face was full of joy and admiration, and he said: "The reaction time and data transmission time have been greatly shortened. ā
The advantages of photonic information technology over electronic technology are very obvious, and the ability to transmit big data is the most obvious advantage. At the time of testing, it has proved its great superiority many times.
However, it was a test after all, and now it is officially used, and it is really gratifying to have such a good performance.
"Lao Gan, it's your turn." Admiral Luo said.
Admiral Gan gave the order and made contact with the strategic forces in the interior, and the figure of Gao Lao appeared on the big screen.
Elder Gao sat in the car, advancing on the mountain, which was very bumpy.
"Elder Gao?" Ye Chen was very surprised and asked, "Elder Gao, aren't you in the Imperial City Root?" How did you get to the mountains? ā
"Xiao Ye, of course I'm participating in the exercise." Gao Lao said as a matter of course: "Although this set of equipment has been tested many times, this is the first time it has been actually used, and I can't help it." ā
Mr. Gao hopes that our country will enter the photon age now, and that the use of such equipment will be promoted throughout the country now. For the first official use of this set of equipment, he will inevitably be on the scene to see the situation with his own eyes.
"Elder Gao, how is your body? Can you afford it? Ye Chen asked worriedly.
Gao Lao is old, more than eighty years, and his health has always been a big problem.
"Don't worry, no problem." Gao Lao said with a smile.
Ye Chen believed that if Elder Gao wanted to participate in this exercise, he must have undergone a strict physical examination, and there should be no problem, so he was relieved.
However, Ye Chen was puzzled again and said, "Elder Gao, where are you here?" The convoy behind you won't be ......"
Looking at the convoy composed of several heavy trucks, Ye Chen had a guess, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.
"That's right, it's anti-ship ballistic missiles of our strategic forces." Admiral Gan nodded.
"Strategic forces are also going to participate in the exercises?" Ye Chen was really a little surprised.
Regarding this exercise, Admiral Luo and they didn't reveal much information, Ye Chen asked, and they didn't say much, they just said that they would know when the time came. Ye Chen never imagined that if the strategic forces wanted to participate, they would also use anti-ship ballistic missiles.
"Xiaoye, you know, our country is the only country in the world that has anti-ship ballistic missiles, which was forced out by the United States." Admiral Gan looked solemn and said: "Our country did not have a strong navy at that time, and there were not many means of counterattack in the face of American aircraft carriers. The country has learned from the painful experience and is determined to develop anti-ship ballistic missiles. After so many years of hard work, our country has finally succeeded and can deal with American aircraft carriers. ā
"If the strategic forces are going to participate, then this exercise will have to be watched, and I am looking forward to it." Ye Chen's eyes were hot, and he couldn't stop rubbing his hands, eager to see the strategic forces in full swing immediately.
"Our country has made world achievements in anti-ship ballistic guides, which can provide strong support to the navy, but, in the final analysis, this weapon is still a defensive weapon in nature, and if the US aircraft carrier does not enter our range, we will have no choice." Admiral Luo looked serious and said: "If we want to fundamentally solve this problem, we still have to develop our own navy, and we must make our navy go to the deep blue." ā
This is absolutely true.
The successful development of anti-ship ballistic missiles has given our country one more means to deal with US aircraft carriers. However, this weapon is still defensive in nature, not offensive. The American aircraft carrier does not come into range and cannot hit.
If we want to fundamentally reverse the situation, we still need to vigorously develop the navy, build a blue-water navy, and make our country's navy go deep blue.
"Chief, you're sober." Ye Chen very much appreciated Admiral Luo's character of seeking truth from facts.
"Through the efforts of the state, our country's navy has made great progress in recent years, and it has modern warships, but it is not enough, it is not strong enough, and it needs the support of our strategic forces." Admiral Gan took over.
Because of this, whenever the Navy conducts large-scale military exercises, strategic forces take action.
"Chief, when are you going to make a move?" Ye Chen asked expectantly.
"It's going to have to wait." Admiral Gan said: "We are now in a maneuver. We were going to conduct the exercise in the context of real combat, and the convoy was maneuvering until it was time to launch. ā
In modern warfare, discovery is destruction. If you want not to be destroyed by the enemy, you must constantly maneuver. In particular, strategic weapons such as anti-ship ballistic missiles must have good mobility. Otherwise, it will be beaten, and there will be satellites watching in the sky.
It is because of this that the survivability of stationary launches is becoming less and less effective and is already rarely used.
"This is actual combat training!" Ye Chen agreed with this approach.
Admiral Gan talked to the strategic troops on Gao Lao's side to conduct a test, and the results were very good.
Gao Lao They are in the mountains, far away from the South China Sea, thousands of kilometers away, and the test is very successful, which means that this set of equipment is one step closer to actual use, Ye Chen is very pleased.
All the tests are done, and it's time for official command.
Admiral Luo gave the order, and the warship began to launch missiles.
One after another, the missiles were launched by the vertical launch system, like sharp swords, piercing into the sky.
Ye Chen saw it in his eyes, he was very excited, his hands were clenched into fists, and he couldn't stop waving them.
Ye Chen didn't know how much he had seen the video of the naval exercise. However, this is the first time to experience it personally, and it is much more energetic than watching a video, which makes Ye Chen's blood boil.
After the missiles were lifted into the air, they flew towards their respective targets. It can be clearly seen on the screen that Ye Chen is happy about the great progress made by our country.
A missile hits the target, and a huge spark appears.
That's accurate!
Ye Chen waved his fist excitedly.
