Chapter 381: The Sword of the Nation
This time the Donghua sea trial will not only test the performance of the warship in all aspects, but also test the electromagnetic guide gun, which is also a project decided by Lu Yang himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Through the command center, Lu Yang and Feng Hai were able to clearly see the current situation of the Donghua.
Half an hour after leaving port, the speed of the Donghua had reached 120 knots, which is also the cruising speed of the Guardian-class destroyer. However, it has already exceeded the top speed of other destroyers by twice the speed.
"It's fast!" Everyone sighed in their hearts.
On the Donghua, Liu Qing observes the surrounding sea area through the radar system, with the Donghua as the center, the surrounding 360 kilometers of sea area images are condensed in a 3D display area, Liu Qing can zoom in or out of any area through operation, and accurately grasp the environment around the ship.
"Has the target ship reached its intended position?" Lu Yang turned around and asked Feng Hai.
"Three hours ago, the target ship had been delivered to the intended position." Feng Haidao.
To test the Flying Bird-class electromagnetic gun, of course, there must be a goal, and the target that Lu Yang is preparing is a 40,000-ton freighter that is about to be scrapped. He bought this freighter from a transportation company for 20 million, and the valuable things on it have been dismantled, and they are basically sold as scrap iron.
However, 20 million was used in one test, and Lu Yang is definitely wealthy. Even if you act in the country, it will not be so extravagant. However, Lu Yang considered that if a large-tonnage ship was not used, the test of the Flying Bird-class electromagnetic cannon would be meaningless, so he was still a local tyrant.
"Report to the command center that the Donghua has reached the predetermined sea area, and at the same time, a target ship 200 kilometers away has been found!" After another forty minutes, Liu Qing reported to the command center.
"Report the situation!" Lu Yang Road.
"Yes! In the first test, the Donghua sailed 138 nautical miles, with an average speed of 110 knots, and took 72 minutes, during which all the Donghua's systems worked normally...... Liu Qing said loudly.
There were more than 20 people in the command room, in addition to Lu Yang, Feng Hai, Yu Hao, Xiong Wenbo, Zhao Tai and other management, there were also several promising naval soldiers selected by Feng Hai. After listening to Liu Qing's report, everyone had a deeper understanding of the Donghua. There is no doubt that this is the only advanced warship in the world.
Gao Yang, in particular, thought that in another month, he would be able to command such a warship, and his heart was hot.
"With such a warship, even if the aircraft carrier of the United States comes, I dare to fight against it!" Gao Yangxin said.
"Detection system, test the Flying Bird class electromagnetic cannon in five minutes!" Lu Yang gave the order.
"Yes!"
"Boss, although our sea survey was conducted in secret, the surrounding countries, including Huaxia, were monitored. With our secrecy measures, they must not know about the electromagnetic weapons of the Donghua by now, and if they were to test it, wouldn't the electromagnetic rail cannon be exposed? Yu Hao asked.
Lu Yang smiled: "It doesn't matter if it's exposed, there's no need to be afraid, what I want is this effect." Both the United States and Huaxia are conducting research on electromagnetic rail guns, and we are just ahead of them. Besides, what is the role of weapons, isn't it to protect ourselves, and if we don't expose it, how can we deter the enemies around us? ā
"Boss, you said you did it on purpose?" Gao Yang said suddenly.
"Not bad. We are not the native navy of China, and any good thing must be used as a killer weapon. Penglai Island's security strategy is purely defensive and will not expand externally, so what we have to do is to make others jealous, so as to avoid wars and conflicts. Lu Yang looked at him and said.
Lu Yang's words made Gao Yang very disappointed in his heart, and he didn't speak again.
"However, if someone provokes without knowing whether they are alive or dead, we will not back down!" Lu Yang said again. Hearing this, Gao Yang's eyes rekindled with fire.
As he spoke, Liu Qing was ready, and with Lu Yang's order, the Flying Bird-class electromagnetic cannon began to store energy, and half a minute later, a shell with an initial velocity of more than Mach 10 was fired from the barrel, and 80 seconds later, the shell hit a 40,000-ton cargo ship at a distance of 200 kilometers.
At this moment, the neutrino satellite in the sky clearly transmitted the image of the target ship, and at the same time, the hyper-dynamic tracking system accurately captured the high-speed flying artillery shell. Everyone held their breath as they witnessed the moment that was about to erupt.
The intelligent system accurately calculates the time when the target ship is hit, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" ā
When the special shell of the Asuka-class electromagnetic cannon hit the target ship, the hearts of the soldiers on the Donghua and everyone in the command center seemed to stop. Everyone clearly saw that the shell accurately hit the hull of the target ship, penetrating from end to end, and after that, the 40,000-ton freighter was like a toy model that had been torn apart, broken into two parts, one large and one small, and sank quickly, and the whole process took less than three minutes......
The command center was silent, and Liu Qing on the Donghua was silent......
The people who were monitoring Penglai Island in the distance for this test were also silent, Huaxia's, Miguo's, and Fusang's......
"Good!" Lu Yang suddenly clapped vigorously, breaking the silence of the command center. After that, the others slowly came back to their senses and applauded with Lu Yang, and the applause gathered and became louder and louder.
"Is this the weapon of a third-level civilization, or the lowest level. If 10,000 megajoules of energy are used for emission, what is the scenario, will it hit the United States with one shot, forming an effect similar to that of space-based weapons? Lu Yang couldn't help but think.
In any case, this time the test of the Flying Bird-class electromagnetic cannon was very successful, and its power really shocked everyone, including Lu Yang. An artillery shell sank a 40,000-ton freighter from 200 kilometers away, and this power and accuracy have far surpassed ordinary anti-ship missiles. Although structurally speaking, warships are more defensive than freighters, but this result is telling.
With this cannon, if the Burke-class destroyers of the United States were close to the Donghua, Liu Qing could easily send them to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to feed Wang Ba.
At the Pacific Command of the United States Army, Harris, the commander of the Japanese-American Pacific Command, who took office three months ago, turned pale.
"When did the Huaxia Navy already be equipped with electromagnetic rail guns with real combat capabilities?" Harris asked loudly, and beside him, the generals of the rice army were silent. In recent years, the United States has pursued a strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region, and Harris's appointment as commander of the Pacific Command is a reflection of this strategy. Therefore, after taking office, Harris responded to China in an unusually high-profile manner. But this test poured cold water on Harris.
"Immediately hand over this news to the White House and let President O'Guanhai handle it." "I suggest the president do a good job of cleaning up the intelligence services, which for more than two years have not figured out what is on our heads." Not only that, but I can't even find out an island in the Pacific Ocean, and I really don't know what the CIA is doing with food! ā
Harris complained about the intelligence department of the United States, and then said to his generals: "Notify me immediately, for the time being, don't get close to Penglai Island for 300 kilometers." In addition, we cancel next month's exercise. Send someone to Penglai Island to figure out the performance of the opponent's electromagnetic rail gun as soon as possible. ā
"Commander, judging from today's results, the opponent's electromagnetic rail cannon obviously surpasses our experimental model by a lot, and has the power to threaten large surface ships." A general said.
"They only launched once today, and we don't know how to make an assessment yet. The characteristics of the electromagnetic rail gun determine that it must use special materials, and the performance of the materials determines its life. We must find out whether Huaxia has mastered the manufacturing technology of electromagnetic guns with actual combat capabilities! Harris said.
At this moment, not only Harris is entangled, but the Chinese military is also in trouble. Before that, the military arranged eyeliner on Penglai Island, but the 18 people in the navy were all discovered by Lu Yang and sent back. Thinking of this, the general in charge of this matter had a hot face, and Lu Yang's behavior was too slap in the face.
Before the test, there were only a few people on Penglai Island who knew about the electromagnetic rail gun, so the military had no news about it.
"The sword of the country, the sword of the country!" A military general saw the General Staff's assessment of Lu Yang's electromagnetic rail gun, and immediately said, "We must get this technology, with it, our navy will be able to surpass the United States in 20 years!" ā
The military's request for an electromagnetic rail gun was sent to Zhongnanhai, and on the second day of the sea survey, a plane flew from the capital to Penglai Island. (To be continued.) )
