Chapter 323 Various Tests
"28 knots...29 knots...30 knots!" When the speed needle stabilized at 30 knots, cheers broke out on the bridge. This speed has exceeded the design index.
"Great!" Li Yang said excitedly, "With this speed, we can take the initiative in the naval battle."
Next is the testing of the weapon system, starting with the firing test of the 130mm main gun.
"Target spotted, bearing 070, distance 15000 meters!" Following the fire controller's report, the main gun began to turn and aim at the target in the distance.
"Fire!"
Following the order, the main gun opened fire. The huge recoil caused the entire battleship to shake slightly. After a while, the target in the distance was accurately hit.
"The hit rate is 95%, which fully meets the design requirements!" the fire controller reported excitedly.
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this shows that our fire control system and main gun performance have met expectations."
Next is the launch test of the "Haihongqi-1" ship-to-air missile, which is one of the most critical links in the entire sea trial.
"Aerial target detected, altitude 8000 meters, distance 40 kilometers!" the radar operator reported loudly.
"Prepare to launch the 'Haihongqi-1' missile!" the captain gave the order.
With a roar, the missile soared into the sky with a long tail of flame. Everyone held their breath and stared at the display screen. After dozens of seconds, the target was successfully shot down.
"Great!" Li Yang clenched his fists excitedly, "Our air defense capability has made a qualitative leap!"
The sea trial continued, and the next step was the launch test of the anti-ship missile. In the distance, a target simulating an enemy ship was moving slowly on the sea.
"Target locked, 80 kilometers away!" the radar operator reported.
"Launch anti-ship missiles!" the captain gave the order.
The missile launcher on the deck suddenly opened, and an anti-ship missile whizzed out. It flew close to the sea surface, leaving a white trail.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the radar screen. A few minutes later, a huge fireball rose on the sea in the distance.
"The target is destroyed!" the fire controller shouted excitedly.
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Our anti-ship capabilities have reached world-class levels. With such weapons, we can effectively deter any enemy that attempts to infringe on our maritime rights."
Next came the test launch of a 533mm torpedo, a large-caliber torpedo that is a powerful weapon against large surface ships.
"Prepare to launch torpedoes!" As the order was given, the torpedo tubes slowly opened.
"emission!"
A white column of water rose up, and the torpedo dived into the water, rushing towards its intended target.
A few minutes later, a muffled sound was heard from the sea in the distance, and a huge column of water rushed into the sky.
"Target hit!" the sonar operator reported excitedly.
Li Yang nodded in approval: "Very good, this proves that our torpedoes have excellent performance and can play an important role in actual combat."
Finally, there was the test launch of the Sea Eagle cruise missile, which is designed to strike long-range land targets and is of great significance for amphibious operations.
"Target locked, 300 kilometers away!" the radar operator reported.
"Launch the Sea Hawk missile!"
With a roar, the "Sea Eagle" missile took off into the sky and soon disappeared into the sky. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the result.
Twenty minutes later, news came from the remote observation station: the target was hit accurately!
Cheers erupted on the bridge. Li Yang said excitedly: "Great! Our destroyers can not only conduct sea operations, but also provide strong support for land operations. This has greatly enhanced our strategic strike capability!"
After the weapon system test is completed, the next step is the comprehensive test of the electronic equipment.
The first is the detection test of the "Sea Radar-381" large phased array radar.
"Start all-round scan!" the radar operator gave the order.
Suddenly, the radar began to rotate, emitting powerful electromagnetic waves. Soon, a large number of light spots appeared on the radar screen.
"Multiple targets detected! The farthest distance...450 kilometers!" the radar operator reported in surprise.
Li Yang said excitedly: "This detection distance has exceeded that of most shipborne radars in the world. With such a 'clairvoyance', we can detect any potential threats at the first time."
Next is the test of the Type 981 shipborne weapon control system, which integrates multiple functions such as missile command, fire control, friend-or-foe identification and situation display.
"Simulate a multi-target attack scenario!" Li Yang gave the order.
Suddenly, a large number of simulated targets appeared on the radar screen, including various types of aircraft, missiles and surface ships.
The "Type 981" system quickly analyzes and judges, completing threat assessment and weapon allocation in just a few seconds.
"It's amazing!" a naval officer exclaimed, "The response speed and processing power of this system are much better than the system we used before!"
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, with this system, we can quickly make correct decisions in a complex battlefield environment and greatly improve combat efficiency."
Electronic jamming and anti-jamming capabilities are also one of the focuses of this sea trial. Li Yang specially arranged an electronic warfare aircraft to conduct simulated electronic attacks on the destroyer.
When the electronic warfare aircraft began to transmit interference signals, the destroyer's electronic equipment immediately activated the protection mode and successfully resisted the electronic interference through frequency hopping, spread spectrum communication and other technologies.
"Great!" Li Yang said excitedly, "Our destroyers can also be invincible in the electronic battlefield. No matter what kind of electronic jamming methods the enemy uses, we can maintain communication and combat capabilities."
The final stage of the sea trial is an extreme test of the destroyer's overall performance.
The first is the extreme turning test. Under high speed conditions, the rudder is slammed to the maximum angle.
The entire battleship tilted suddenly, and everyone on the deck had to hold on to the railing tightly. But surprisingly, the destroyer quickly completed the turn and regained stability.
"It's incredible!" a naval officer exclaimed, "Such a large ship can turn so flexibly!"
Li Yang explained with a smile: "This is thanks to our specially designed hull structure and advanced rudder system. In actual combat, this flexibility will greatly improve our survivability."
Next came the extreme acceleration and emergency braking test. During this process, the destroyer showed amazing maneuverability. It took less than two minutes to reach the maximum speed from standstill, and the emergency braking distance was much shorter than expected.
"Such performance has surpassed many light frigates. Our destroyers are not only powerful in firepower, but also have first-class maneuverability!"
The last test was the seakeeping test. In order to simulate severe sea conditions, the destroyer sailed into a sea with strong winds and waves.
Despite the waves hitting the hull and splashing water on the deck, the destroyer remained stable, and various weapon systems and electronic equipment were functioning normally without being affected.
"This is amazing!" a naval officer said sincerely, "This destroyer is simply born for harsh sea conditions. With it, we can perform missions in various complex environments."
Li Yang nodded, his eyes gleaming with pride: "Yes, this is exactly what we designed it for. Whether in calm waters near the coast or in rough seas, this destroyer can exert its maximum combat effectiveness."
After a week-long sea trial, the new destroyer finally completed all the test items. When the destroyer slowly sailed back to the port, a large number of people had gathered on the dock to welcome it.
Liu Ziliang and General Lin had been waiting at the dock for a long time. When they saw the mighty figure of the destroyer, the two old leaders' eyes sparkled with tears of excitement.
"Xiao Li," Liu Ziliang held Li Yang's hand tightly, "you have made immortal contributions to our navy! This destroyer will completely change the face of our navy!"
General Lin also nodded repeatedly: "That's right! With such a battleship, we can truly go to the open sea and defend national interests!"
Li Yang said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Our mission is not over yet. Next, we need to mass-produce this destroyer as soon as possible and form a strong maritime formation."
Liu Ziliang and General Lin looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, Xiao Li," Liu Ziliang patted Li Yang on the shoulder, "the country will fully support this project. We believe that in the near future, our country's naval strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"
Li Yang nodded and looked at the distant horizon. He knew that the birth of this destroyer was just the beginning. There would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
But he firmly believed that as long as the whole country was united, no difficulties could not be overcome. One day, the Chinese Navy would gallop across the world's oceans and become an important force in maintaining world peace.
At this moment, a few small black dots suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance. Li Yang squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and his face suddenly changed.
"No!" he shouted, "Enemy planes are coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the radar alarm sounded throughout the warship. Several unidentified fighter planes were approaching at high speed.
"Everyone on alert! Prepare to fight!" the captain gave the order immediately.
Li Yang quickly rushed to the bridge and began to command this sudden battle.
"Launch 'Sea Radar-381' and scan in all directions!" He gave the order calmly.
The large phased array radar quickly began to work, with powerful electromagnetic waves sweeping across the sky. Soon, detailed information of the incoming fighter jets appeared on the radar screen.
"Four enemy planes spotted, 4 kilometers away, approaching at high speed!" the radar operator reported.
Li Yang frowned. It seems that someone wants to take this opportunity to test the strength of our new destroyer.
"Start the 'Type 981' weapon control system and prepare to respond to multi-target attacks!" Li Yang continued to command.
Complex electronic equipment quickly started to work and began to analyze the enemy aircraft's attack route and tactical intentions.
"The enemy aircraft has entered 170 kilometers and is about to enter the range of our missiles!" the radar operator continued to report.
Li Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to launch the 'Haihongqi-1' missile!"
The ship-borne air defense missile system was quickly put into position and aimed at the incoming enemy aircraft.
"emission!"
