At this time.

The entire high-level of the Yingjiang army was engaged in various heated discussions.

Look at the outrageous data shown in the report!

Almost all of them had a sad look on their faces.

"Missile launcher with a diameter of 2.7 meters"

"A destroyer capable of launching hypersonic ballistic missiles?"

"It can even carry dozens of ICBMs at once, and it reaches a speed of more than 45 knots .."

"Guys, how should we respond?"

The Supreme Commander's tone was heavy, and he looked at several high-ranking members of the Navy who were sitting in his office.

If it's just a 50,000-ton destroyer, it's not worth it at all!

But this is a destroyer that sails much faster and can even carry missiles with a range of thousands of kilometers!

It can even launch a deadly attack directly from a distance of five or six thousand kilometers from the far sea.

This means:

As long as it sails anywhere within range, the destroyer will always be a sword of Damocles hanging over its head!

Anytime, anywhere, it can make you pay the most painful price.

"Didn't we have similar R&D before?"

"Restart the construction of arsenal ships??"

A senior executive next to him took a puff of his cigarette and said with a frown.

He remembered that in the historical design record, he had seen similar ship research and development schemes.

The same is also loaded with large-yield ballistic missiles, and even a destroyer has hundreds of missiles on board.

It's just that as soon as it was submitted, it was directly killed by the Supreme Council and the navy.

"Arsenal ships are not viable."

"When equipped with nuclear power, the destroyer completely loses its high maneuverability."

"It's better to build another Ford-class aircraft carrier"

A high-ranking member of the Navy's technical side categorically vetoed.

The development of 50,000-ton destroyers in China is not just because it can carry hypersonic missiles.

The most important thing is that the power system of this behemoth has also been fully upgraded.

It is even more sensitive than the 10,000-ton 055 drive, and the speed and seaworthiness have been improved by several levels.

If they learn to build large-tonnage destroyers, what is the use of a destroyer with extremely weak power?

"Build a Ford-class aircraft carrier?"

"Full replacement of existing Nimitz-class aircraft carriers"

The Supreme Commander's fingers tapped on the tabletop, lost in deep thought.

This seems like a pretty good solution

The electric propulsion technology possessed by the Ford-class aircraft carriers and the ability to accommodate more carrier-based aircraft can also be used as a countermeasure to a certain extent.

It's just that he has a bit of a headache when he thinks about the cost of construction.

Now.

Seeing that the destroyer in the distance had begun to gradually return home, it had begun to approach the port.

and the popularity value on the system panel that is growing more and more slowly.

This live broadcast is just to harvest a wave of popularity, since the purpose has been achieved.

"Alright, audience friends!"

"That's the end of today's live broadcast! See you next time! ”

Jiang Chen said to all the audience, and instantly closed the live broadcast.

Suddenly.

"Sister Honey. Let's go for a walk around first! ”

"I have some things to discuss with the naval department," Jiang Chen said to Yang Mi and the others on the side.

Although he did not get on the ship, there are some things that still need to be explained.

"Okay!! I understand! ”

Yang Mi, Reba, and Liu Sisi said in unison, nodding solemnly.

That's exactly what they mean.

They are very interested in some large ships and want to visit them.

The only pity is that many things that involve secrets cannot be approached in close proximity.

The other side is here.

As soon as the destroyer in the harbor docked, several naval commanders went straight to Jiang Chen's position.

He also had a smile of excitement on his face.

"Chief Engineer Jiang, this destroyer is really amazing!"

"It's probably the best ship I've ever seen, and even an aircraft carrier can't compare to it!!"

Captain Du held Jiang Chen's hand tightly, and the joy in his heart couldn't help but be revealed.

The capabilities of this 50,000-ton destroyer can be said to have completely conquered him.

Whether it is attack ability, speed, mobility, etc., it has reached a whole new height.

Before Captain Du could finish speaking.

"When will Chief Engineer Jiang's second large destroyer be launched?"

"It takes a long time to build such a big ship, right?"

"When will our fleet be able to mount, such a good destroyer?"

The captains of several naval forces next to him also couldn't wait to ask.

To know.

The speed at which a large ship is built is almost measured in years.

The most important thing they want to know now is, when will it be their turn to equip their troops with such destroyers?

"If it is modified with 055 drive, it will take about half a year to build one."

"If we start building again, it will take more than a year and a half."

"Still. At the same time, it may not be so fast, and it may even take more than two years to build one. ”

A staff member of the General Armament Department next to him said after thinking for a moment.

One of the biggest reasons why this 50,000-ton destroyer can be built so quickly is that it is converted from the 055 drive.

The entire Penang shipyard was running at full capacity, so it was able to complete the entire construction work in just three months.

Hear this.

Suddenly.

The audience fell silent for a while, and the captains looked at him in a daze.

Manshang's expression turned from anxiety to surprise, and he even began to think about it!

"Chief Engineer Jiang's words are half a year!"

"With so many shipyards we currently have, it shouldn't be difficult to give our fleet a 50,000-ton destroyer next year, right?"

"Chief Engineer Jiang, you can't be biased!!"

"Lao Du already has one, so it's our turn to divide it first, right?"

Several captains suddenly came forward and argued.

At present, there are about 15 055 ships under construction, all of which can be converted into 50,000-ton destroyers.

With the current strength of various shipyards in China, it is completely possible to complete the refit of more than eight ships within one year.

This means that almost every fleet can get a destroyer.

It's just that who prioritizes is a big question!

Look at the scene in front of you.

"Alright. Captains, be quiet! ”

"I already have a plan for the specific construction work."

Jiang Chen said helplessly, calming the excited feelings of all the captains present.

This is also the next thing he will announce, which is to announce the next construction plan.

Everyone closed their mouths and listened to his every word with bated breath.

Meet everyone's eyes.

"It's just a 50,000-ton destroyer"

"There is simply no need to occupy too much R&D strength, and it is impossible for all shipyards to build these destroyers!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and decisively rejected the idea.

Suddenly.

The audience breathed and looked at Jiang Chen as if they were sluggish!

A 50,000-ton destroyer, but it's just a mere one?

Are you planning to build a Star Destroyer?
