Chapter 122: New Technology, New Application, Type 055 Destroyer

"In my plan,"

"the displacement of this class of destroyer will be at least 【tons】 and above."

"There will be at least 100 vertical launch cells."

"Only then can it possess sufficient firepower."

"The power system will adopt the turbine engine self-developed by the Qingtianchang, which can allow this ship to travel at an economic speed of 18 knots."

"The maximum speed will be at least 30 knots."

"The radar will adopt four dual-band active phased array radars."

"Which can effectively search for target units at least hundreds of kilometers away in the sea and sky."

"And dual-band, one for long-range search, one for short-range search, one for sky search, one for ground search, one for moving search, one for static search."

"With four radars, it can comprehensively monitor the movements of any target on the sea surface and in the sky."

"The ship's hull will adopt a stealth design similar to the missile boat."

"On the outer shell, we will use similar wave-absorbing materials and stealth coatings with better corrosion resistance, like those used on the J-20."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wen paused.

"However, we can't use an all-aluminum hull anymore."

"This thing is simply too heavy. It really can't be lifted onto the shore."

"In addition, there are several new technologies on this ship."

"Integrated radio frequency technology, integrating various radio frequency functions such as radar, electronic warfare, communication, navigation, and identification, achieving resource sharing through an integrated information system. Various antennas are integrated into the main bridge and integrated stealth mast, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving stealth performance."

"As for the missile cells, we will adopt new universal vertical launch cells, so that it can use any of our active service missiles without obstruction."

"Whether it's the HQ, YJ, or CJ series, they can all be used."

"Achieving the goal of one cell for four uses."

"Moreover, as long as the designers of new missiles take the design standards of the missile cells into account when designing,"

"it can fully use brand-new missiles. After all, the ship's service time is very long."

"But the evolution speed of missiles is simply too fast."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea Cui Zhuren brought.

And continued,

"In addition, the level of informatization of this ship is also extremely high."

"Everyone has heard about the effects of the information system upgrades I gave to the J-20, J-16, and J-10."

"Just by using our J-10s from decades ago, with the help of the newly modified Y-20 early warning aircraft, Pakistan completely defeated the joint fleet composed of Bharat's Rafales and Su-27s."

Zhang Wen didn't mention the Tejas that Bharat was so proud of; he knew too well what that thing was.

Zhang Wen felt a bit disgusted even if it were given to him for free.

Hearing this, everyone present nodded.

The reason Pakistan still had the capital to continuously bleed Bharat was because of the air superiority created for them by the improved J-10s.

In addition, the Air Force exercise also proved

that third-generation aircraft under information integration and system support were fully capable of contending with fourth-generation aircraft without information support.

Zhang Wen saw them agree and continued.

"The last one is the medium-voltage DC all-electric integrated management system."

"This is the reason why I built the Qingtian Automobile Factory so early."

"Technology needs development, so it must need money, but this sum of money is simply too huge."

"The country couldn't possibly provide this money."

"It can only use the civilian market to promote the development of military technology."

"This technology can effectively manage the power operation efficiency of every department and device on the entire ship."

"Not only does it increase the power supply, but it can also manage the flow of electricity to every place."

"Through the management system, electricity can be sent to the departments and devices that need it."

"This means it can, um."

Zhang Wen didn't know how to say it for a moment, thought for a while, and used a metaphor.

"For example, if more electricity is needed in the future, it can be solved by replacing it with a more powerful engine."

"If there is a breakthrough in radar technology,"

"a larger, better, and newer radar system can be used."

"Pre-reserving interfaces for new technologies in the future."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

President Shi looked at Zhang Wen, feeling shocked in his heart.

Although he had always heard rumors

about how genius this kid was.

But until this moment,

President Shi truly knew what genius meant.

Just the technical indicators Zhang Wen gave now,

President Shi estimated that even Eagle Country, known as the world's number one naval power, hadn't achieved them at all.

And with that, Zhang Wen even specifically reserved interfaces for upgrades.

It was simply mind-boggling.

And Chief Engineer Qu, who was more concerned about construction-related issues,

looked at Zhang Wen

and raised his own question.

"So many new technologies."

"It's impossible not to have problems."

"Although I personally agree with this plan,"

"I must say,"

"there are too many new technologies."

"Let's use the 'small steps, fast running' method."

"Use three ships to complete this ship."

Zhang Wen heard Chief Engineer Qu's words

and felt it was very reasonable.

After all, caution was the attitude a military industrial worker should have.

In the original timeline, the Ford-class was because it didn't respect technology at all and seriously neglected the stability of the ship.

That was why, in the original timeline's 2025, it still hadn't officially entered service.

There were simply too many problems on the ship: the electromagnetic catapult system had problems, the stability wasn't enough, the standard of breaking once every few thousand times was simply bullshit! Basically, it needed maintenance every few dozen times, and the radar and boilers behind it...

Even the biggest problem was actually just a small elevator.

The elevator that transported carrier-based aircraft from the hangar to the deck was actually the place where the most serious problems occurred.

It broke after being used a few dozen times and couldn't be used at all.

Facing Chief Engineer Qu's idea, Zhang Wen also gave his own explanation.

"In that case, the formation speed is too slow."

"It would take at least three ships to form complete combat effectiveness."

"One technical experimental ship, one ship where the technology that finished testing can be put on the second ship, plus the remaining technology."

"Finally, it would take three ships to fully form combat effectiveness."

"This is very steady. But it's too slow. Time won't give us the opportunity."

Zhang Wen explained.

"Moreover, the new technologies on this ship have been partially tested."

"Stealth design and wave-absorbing materials, stealth coatings, these can fully use those on the missile boat and the J-20, only needing slight improvements."

"The Qingtianchang's technology library has them."

"The missile cells were also developed from the missile boat."

"After all, we have first-hand data on the missile boat, and we have data on compatibility and wear to improve."

"Informatization and command platforms, these technologies have already been tested on the Air Force side."

"They only need slight improvements."

"And the most important medium-voltage DC all-electric integrated system,"

"was the first to start testing. Now there are at least two million Qingtianchang cars running in the country."

"Of course, I must also admit,"

"that cars and ships are completely different."

"In this way, there is only one and a half new technologies."

"One is integrated radio frequency technology, and half is the medium-voltage DC power integrated system."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he looked at them.

Chief Engineer Qu heard Zhang Wen say this and was also somewhat moved.

After all, Zhang Wen gave his own explanation.

In this way, it seems, it's acceptable?

After all, even if these two technologies failed, other places could fully meet the needs of future combat.

And, what if?

Today's meeting was discussing the new generation of main combat weapons for Dongda's Navy.

They would be used as main weapons in the future.

At this time, Director Yang, who saw the situation, said, "Let's do this, vote."

"See if we should succeed in one ship."

Director Yang didn't even say he would abandon this plan.

Zhang Wen immediately raised his hand.

Cui Zhuren also raised his hand immediately.

The remaining President Shi and Chief Engineer Qu looked at each other and also raised their hands.

"Good, then it's passed unanimously!"

Director Yang stood up.

"The funding will be allocated after the budget is passed later."

"You should catch up with your teacher."

"I should also tell the Navy this good news."

Director Yang walked out of the room with a smile.

President Shi and Chief Engineer Qu came over, said a few words of encouragement to Zhang Wen, and then left.

Only Zhang Wen and Cui Zhuren remained in the room.

Zhang Wen finally put down all his burdens and collapsed directly into the chair.

"You brat, hahaha!"

Cui Zhuren laughed.

Zhang Wen also laughed.

"Teacher."

"I wanted to ask just now. Where did Director Feng go?"

"Shouldn't he be at this kind of meeting?"

Zhang Wen asked curiously.

Cui Zhuren showed an embarrassed expression at this time. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====

Cui Zhuren showed an awkward expression at this moment.
