Xu Ziling glanced at the two of them, and said angrily: "'Flying Eagle', you have also been flying for a few months, don't you know the problem of the radar on the road?" ”

As soon as they said ......this, the two of them understood, they didn't think about it before, it was their consciousness that the airborne radar and the ship's radar are not the same thing, without taking into account the particularity of the "Hawkeye" radar, although the distance is related to the size, but compared with the original phased array radar, this volume is completely negligible, and there is no need to worry about the radar because the earth curve and the position of the radar equipment will affect the scanning results.

"That shipborne radar is farther than the scanning distance on the fighter?" The bird immediately asked again, in his opinion, the plane is so much smaller than the ship, that it can be equipped with a "large" Hawkeye radar.

Xu Ziling shook his head, "It's the same, it's not about the size, it's about the cost, if you really don't consider the cost, you can install one that can scan 10,000 kilometers, but in this way, the cost is too big, so whether it is an aircraft or a warship, a radius of 700 kilometers is enough, and no matter how long the distance, you can use satellite assistance, and you don't need to load such a large radar at all, which will only be reused and wasted." ”

"Oh!"

After Xu Ziling's explanation, the two of them understood the matter in between.

The crew of the trip had already boarded the ship and prepared, Xu Ziling and a few people stood in the port, chatting for a while, Tang Jiannian and the people from the fleet who participated in this voyage came over, Xu Ziling greeted him, shook hands with everyone, said a few words at will, and looked at the time when it was time to set sail soon, and he was ready to board the ship.

The 10,000-ton missile ship is already a heavy ship, larger than the displacement of any ship in the South China Sea Fleet, and compared with several ships that are being refurbished not far away, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

At seven o'clock, the ship let out a long roar and began to move slowly out of the port, and after entering the harbor channel, it quickly entered the military channel and sailed directly towards the open sea.

This is the first nuclear-powered destroyer in China, and it is also the first time Xu Ziling has made "nuclear power", when he handed over the plan to the Jiangnan Plant, he was still a little apprehensive, but he did not expect that many experts in the Jiangnan Plant had been seconded by the China Shipbuilding to participate in the research and development of the Type 094 nuclear submarine, and they were no strangers to these.

Nuclear energy, this thing from the theoretical knowledge, the whole world may be no one can compare to him, in the lion's plan, fist-sized nuclear power units are available, and under the supervision of the lion, he understands these things very thoroughly, but with today's technology can not be made at all, but in reality, the only time he saw it was on No. 653, as for personal close contact, he has not yet been.

No. 053 exceeded the speed of 40 knots, and soon entered the open sea, and after accompanying Tang Jiannian and others to turn around on the ship, Xu Ziling went to the reactor room and observed the nuclear reactor at close range.

Warships want to be stealthy, infrared radiation and noise is a big problem, compared with diesel and other powered ships, nuclear power has an absolute advantage after perfect improvement, many countries do not use nuclear-powered ships, the main problem is that nuclear power maintenance time is long, waste disposal is difficult, and the nuclear reactor on 053 does not have such a situation: all treatment devices are made of special materials, small maintenance once every six months, and can be completed on the spot by trained technical personnel, as for scrap, after decommissioning, There are no nuclear atoms left in the device, and only the long tank containing the raw materials needs to be processed at high temperatures.

It can be said that compared with conventionally powered ships, the maintenance cost of the 053 will definitely not be high, but will only be the bottom.

With the help of the South China Sea Fleet, the "exercise" area has already been blocked, and the first few voyages were all short-haul, and this weapons test was also the first long-distance test, and after six hours of cruise, No. 053 arrived at Sansha, the southernmost city in China.

The construction of this city is only two years, there is only a garrison force on the island, and there is no army in the real sense, because some projects are not perfect, it is impossible to dock ships of more than 10,000 tons, Xu Ziling has the heart to go to this island city to see, but because there is something serious and too troublesome, in the end he can only give up.

This trip is nominally a test, but in fact, No. 053 also has another thing to do, that is, to deter the Philippines, because they have not been very peaceful recently, so the place for this "exercise" was cleverly chosen - 500 kilometers southeast of Sansha City, located in the middle of Huangyan Island and Nansha Islands.

According to the cruising speed, it should have taken another six hours to reach the designated position, but due to time, after passing through Sansha City, No. 053 slowed down and drove slowly in the sea at a speed of fifteen knots.

"By the way, it didn't say to equip your drone?" In the vast sea, there is water everywhere you see, and several other ships have already set off, and only one of them is sailing where you can see, after a simple lunch, Tang Jiannian and Xu Ziling stood on the deck blowing the wind, Tang Jiannian asked about Xu Ziling.

The last time the "Makula" incident, he saw the ultra-long range of the drone, and he was a little itchy in his heart, and he had the intention to purchase one, but the price of hundreds of millions of dollars made him daunted, and he could only think that it could be equipped, but there was no movement on it, so he wanted to see if he could get any news from Xu Ziling.

"The fighter may be replaced, and as for the drone, I have no news from my side." Speaking of this, Xu Ziling is also a little depressed, the drone has been offline for more than a year, and it has gone through many actual battles in the middle.

"Then how did I hear that your plane is now being handed over to the 81st Division for use?"

The matter of the fighter jet, it seems that Tang Jiannian knows the truth, Xu Ziling said it, he didn't have any surprised expression, as if he heard a very common thing, he didn't mention it, and he still stayed on the drone.

Some didn't understand why Tang Jiannian was interested in this matter, Xu Ziling became serious, but he knew that these big people would never talk about a thing for no reason, so he said: "Uncle Tang, do you have something?" Just say it directly. ”

Tang Jiannian smiled at Xu Ziling and said, "Then I'm welcome?" Seeing Xu Ziling's affirmative eyes, he continued to say seriously: "Do you know the way?" There are more than 500 reefs in the entire Nansha Islands, but the actual control of our hands is only less than 10, in recent years, some Western powers are making waves, so that the Philippines, Vietnam and other small countries have intensified the seizure of reefs, compared with these countries, Nansha and us are too far away, and we do not have aircraft carriers, the number of warships in the face of such a large sea area, the force is not enough, it is impossible to stop it in time, and recently there has been a Philippine and other countries rammed China's fishing boats, detained fishermen, Would something like this have happened if we had a warship where it was? So, I think again, can you lend us your drone first, anyway, it will be a waste of resources to use it for the 81st Division. ”

I didn't expect Tang Jiannian to make such a request, but Xu Ziling obviously couldn't agree to him immediately, because although the thing was his, it had already been used by Senior Commander Lin, and he couldn't ask for it back without saying a word.

"Well, I personally don't matter, but I'm not good at talking to the 81st Division, the South China Sea Fleet wants it, I can send someone to arrange the ground command center, but if it's a drone, you need to go and ask the 81st Division yourself."

Tang Jiannian was overjoyed, in his opinion, as long as Xu Ziling, the master, agreed, as for the 81st Division, he was not afraid that they would not agree, first, his own fleet, in terms of level, was much higher than a division-level unit of the 81st Division, as long as he spoke, no matter how he spoke, it could be regarded as an order; Second: Now that the situation in the South China Sea is becoming more and more tense, it needs rapid response combat effectiveness, which can ensure the safety of the people and ensure the integrity of our country's territory to the greatest extent.

"Okay, that's no problem, as long as you agree, I'll go and say it in person from the 81st Division, and I won't embarrass you." Tang Jiannian smiled and said immediately.

It's been too busy for a while, Xu Ziling doesn't have much time to pay attention to the news, he knows a little about the South China Sea, but he hasn't learned about it carefully, I heard Tang Jiannian talk about more than 500 reef islands, and his own country controls less than ten, which is really sad, his country's territory is not in his own hands, but is occupied by many countries, there is such a sovereign country?

What does it mean to declare national sovereignty every day? The fame is there, but these islands are still in the hands of others, those who don't speak, occupy the sea, occupy the reef islands, develop oil and various resources, and make a lot of money there one by one, but they themselves are still just preaching, but there is no actual action in their hands, is this necessary? According to Xu Ziling's idea, let's just have a good time, and let them see that sovereignty is not something that is lip service, but planes and artillery.
