N-A-A Chapter 358 Test, Attack
Chapter 358 Test, Attack
Following Li Yang's order, the entire shipyard was in an uproar, and workers left the hull one after another and stood in a safe area.
For a moment, this majestic warship was the only one left in the entire dock. It was like a giant beast ready to rush into the embrace of the sea at any time.
"Start filling the dock!" With the order, a large amount of sea water began to pour into the dock.
The water level slowly rose, gradually covering the keel of the ship, then the hull, and finally the entire giant ship floated.
Everyone held their breath and watched the scene nervously.
Although they were confident in their work, they did not feel relieved until they saw with their own eyes that the giant ship actually floated.
"Great!" Zhang Guoqiang shouted excitedly, his face filled with the joy of victory.
Other engineers and workers also cheered, and some even shed tears of excitement.
Li Yang's eyes never left the giant ship that was slowly rising.
His eyes sparkled with pride and anticipation.
At this moment, he seemed to see the future scene of the Yan Kingdom’s navy roaming the world.
As the water level continued to rise, the giant ship finally floated completely. It floated steadily on the water, showing amazing balance.
"Get ready to start the tests!" Li Yang's voice rang out again, and everyone immediately returned to their respective posts and began a series of complex testing procedures.
The first is static testing.
Engineers carefully checked every compartment to make sure there were no leaks.
At the same time, they also have to test the working conditions of various equipment in water.
Although the process seemed calm, everyone was on edge, fearing that any problems might arise.
"Report, all cabins are sealed intact, no leaks found."
"All systems were functioning normally in the water, with no abnormalities."
As good news came one after another, Li Yang's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But he knew that the real test was yet to come.
Next is the dynamic test.
This stage will test the destroyer's various performance indicators, including speed, maneuverability, weapon system, etc.
"Start the main engine!" Following Li Yang's order, the nuclear power system of the giant ship began to operate. A low roar sounded, and the whole ship seemed to be shaking slightly.
"The main engine is operating normally and the power output is stable." The engineer in charge of the power system reported, with undisguised excitement in his voice.
Li Yang nodded, "Very good, start the speed test."
The giant ship slowly sailed out of the dock and headed for the open sea.
As the speed continued to increase, the waves stirred up by the hull became larger and larger. People standing on the deck could feel the strong sea breeze blowing on their faces.
"The current speed is 25 knots... 28 knots... 30 knots!" the engineer in charge of speed measurement shouted excitedly, "We have reached the design speed!"
Everyone cheered.
A speed of 30 knots is an amazing achievement for a large destroyer with a displacement of more than 13000 tons, which means that this nuclear-powered destroyer is not only huge in size, but also has amazing maneuverability.
But Li Yang was not satisfied with this. He knew that the potential of this ship was far more than this.
"Keep accelerating." Li Yang said in a deep voice.
Following his orders, the speed of the giant ship continued to increase. 32 knots... 34 knots... and finally stabilized at 35 knots.
"Oh my god," Zhang Guoqiang exclaimed, "This is a miracle! Our destroyers are faster than most light frigates!"
Li Yang smiled with satisfaction. He knew that this amazing speed would bring a huge tactical advantage to the destroyer. Whether it was chasing enemy ships or evading attacks, the ship would have more options.
Next is the weapon system test, which is the most exciting part of the entire test process, but also the most dangerous part.
"Prepare to launch a test missile." Li Yang gave the order.
With a roar, a missile took off from the vertical launch system, drew a graceful arc in the air, and accurately hit the target a hundred kilometers away.
"Hit!" the engineer in charge of the weapon system shouted excitedly, "The accuracy error is less than one meter!"
Next, the main gun was tested. The 130mm electromagnetic gun emitted a deafening roar, and the shell flew into the distance at an astonishing speed. When everyone saw the test results, they all gasped.
"The range is 215 kilometers, and the hit error is less than 10 meters." The voice reporting was trembling with disbelief.
This result far exceeded everyone's expectations. You know, the range of traditional naval guns is usually only a few dozen kilometers, and the accuracy is far less than that. The performance of this electromagnetic gun has surpassed all known shipborne artillery in the world.
A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Li Yang's eyes. He knew that this electromagnetic gun would completely change the mode of naval warfare. With it, the destroyer could carry out long-range precision strikes on enemy ships and land targets, greatly expanding the combat range.
Next is the test of the electronic system. The phased array radar starts working at full power, searching the surrounding air and sea areas.
"Reports show that the radar has a detection range of more than 500 kilometers and can track 800 air targets simultaneously."
This data once again shocked everyone. Such a powerful detection capability means that this destroyer can almost control all situations within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Whether it is an incoming enemy aircraft or a hidden enemy ship, it can hardly escape its "eyes".
The test results of the electronic warfare system are equally exciting. It can not only effectively interfere with enemy radar and communications, but also generate realistic false targets to confuse the enemy's detection system.
"With this system, we will be invincible on the electronic battlefield," an electronic warfare expert said excitedly.
The final step is the nuclear power system sustainability test, which will last for several days to verify the stability and durability of the reactor.
As time goes by, the parameters of the nuclear reactor remain stable. It not only provides a steady supply of power for the destroyer, but also provides sufficient power support for various power-hungry weapon systems.
"It's incredible," Zhang Guoqiang exclaimed, "This destroyer is like a mobile nuclear power plant."
Li Yang smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is the advantage of nuclear power. With it, our ships can fight continuously at sea for months without the need for resupply."
After a week of testing, the performance of this nuclear-powered destroyer not only met all the standards, but also far exceeded the design indicators in many aspects. This result made all the people involved in the project feel extremely proud.
In the final comprehensive exercise, the destroyer demonstrated its amazing combat capability. Not only can it accurately strike targets hundreds of kilometers away, but it can also effectively defend against attacks from all directions. Its electronic warfare capability even paralyzed the "enemy's" command system.
When the exercise ended, the military experts involved in the evaluation were shocked.
"This is simply a revolution," an admiral said excitedly, "The performance of this destroyer has surpassed any known ship of the same type in the world. It will completely change the mode of naval warfare."
Another expert said: "With such ships, our navy will be among the world's top. It will not only effectively defend our maritime borders, but will also greatly enhance our influence in international affairs."
When the test results were presented to everyone, the entire base was in an uproar. The engineers hugged each other excitedly, and some even cried with joy. They knew that they had helped create history.
Li Yang stood in the command center, looking at the data displayed on the big screen, with a gratified smile on his face. He knew that the birth of this nuclear-powered destroyer marked that the Yan Kingdom Navy had officially entered a new era.
Just then, Zhang Guoqiang ran over excitedly. "Engineer Li," he said excitedly, "the superiors just called and asked us to name this destroyer. They want to hear your suggestions."
Li Yang pondered for a moment, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes. "Let's call it 'Changfeng'," he said softly, "It means 'there will be a time to ride the wind and break the waves'."
Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up. "It's so fitting! This name perfectly describes our vision."
Li Yang nodded and looked towards the distant horizon. He knew that with the commissioning of the "Changfeng", the Yan Kingdom Navy would usher in a brand new future. And this was just the beginning. In the years to come, there will be more advanced ships like the "Changfeng" setting sail to protect the country's seas.
As the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the deck of the Changfeng, casting a sacred light on this warship that has condensed countless efforts. Li Yang took a deep breath of the sea-scented air, his heart full of expectations for the future. He knows that a new era belonging to Yan Country has arrived, and the Changfeng will be the golden key to open this new era.
……
With the successful launching of the "Changfeng" nuclear-powered destroyer, the entire Yan Kingdom Navy was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere.
However, Li Yang knew that the real test had just begun.
As a time traveler from the future, he knew better than anyone that in the turbulent 60s, the international situation was changing rapidly, and every step of development of Yan Country might cause strong reactions from hostile countries.
On the third day after Changfeng completed various tests, an urgent intelligence message reached Li Yang's office.
Intelligence shows that an enemy aircraft carrier battle group is moving toward the near sea and is expected to enter the coastal area of Yan State within 48 hours.
Li Yang's brows knitted together. He knew very well that this was no accident.
In this era, enemy forces often used this method to carry out military deterrence against Yan State.
Whenever Yan State made a breakthrough in a certain field or the international situation changed, the enemy would send an aircraft carrier battle group to cruise near the coast to demonstrate force and exert pressure.
"It seems that they have noticed our changes," Li Yang whispered to himself, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this was an excellent opportunity for the Changfeng to test its strength in actual combat and at the same time show the new naval power of Yan State to the whole world.
Li Yang immediately called an emergency meeting.
In the conference room, the heads of various departments sat on both sides of the long table with serious expressions, waiting for Li Yang's instructions.
"Comrades," Li Yang looked around, his voice steady and powerful, "We have just received intelligence that the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group is approaching our coastal waters. This is a challenge, but also an opportunity. I propose that we send the Changfeng to deal with it."
There was a sudden murmur of discussion in the conference room.
Some people are worried that the Changfeng has just been put into service and has not yet been tested in actual combat; others believe that this is the best time to demonstrate strength.
"Engineer Li," Zhang Guoqiang said hesitantly, "The Changfeng does have excellent performance, but it is our first nuclear-powered destroyer after all. If anything unexpected happens..."
Li Yang raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "I understand everyone's concerns," he said, his eyes firm, "but I believe in the strength of the Changfeng. More importantly, we must show the world, especially the American people, that we are no longer a weak country that can be bullied. This operation will be our best opportunity to announce to the world the rise of Yan Country."
After heated discussions, it was finally decided to ask superiors for instructions to send the "Changfeng" to the near sea to engage the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group.
When Li Yang submitted this request to the top leaders, the entire command center held its breath.
A few hours later, the approval order was finally issued. The "Changfeng" nuclear-powered destroyer was authorized to go to the coastal waters for a "routine cruise".
