Chapter 322 Destroyer Manufacturing
Li Yang walked towards the meeting room with the destroyer design drawings he had just completed.
His steps were firm and powerful, and his eyes were shining with confidence. When he pushed open the heavy wooden door, he found that the conference room was already filled with high-ranking naval officials and shipbuilding experts.
"Comrades," Li Yang cleared his throat and glanced at everyone present, "Today I want to introduce to you a brand new destroyer design."
He spread the blueprint on the conference table, which immediately caused a commotion. Everyone came forward, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
"This is..." A naval general narrowed his eyes and looked at the blueprint carefully, "A 3500-ton destroyer? Comrade Li, you are going to get it all in one go!"
Li Yang smiled and began to elaborate on his design concept: "Yes, the displacement of this destroyer is between 3500 and 4000 tons. Under the current circumstances, we need a large destroyer that can take on the task of offshore defense."
He pointed to the weapon configuration on the blueprint and continued, "In terms of the weapon system, I designed a combination of 'double 130' artillery and 'Haihongqi-1' ship-to-air missiles. This can deal with short-range threats and conduct medium- and long-range air defense."
Hearing this, the experts present all gasped. An old engineer couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Li, isn't your design too advanced? We don't even have the 'Haihongqi-1' yet!"
Li Yang smiled mysteriously: "Lao Zhang, you are right. However, I have already communicated with the comrades at the Missile Research Institute. The development of the 'Haihongqi-1' has already begun, and I believe it will be put into use soon."
Then, he pointed to the torpedo tubes and anti-ship missile launchers on the blueprint: "For sea operations, we will be equipped with 533mm torpedoes and anti-ship missiles. The combination of these two weapons is enough to deal with any surface target."
A young naval officer said excitedly: "Great! With these weapons, we don't have to be afraid of the enemy's large ships anymore!"
Li Yang nodded and continued, "In addition, I also designed the 'Sea Eagle' cruise missile launch tube. This missile can accurately strike land targets hundreds of kilometers away and provide fire support for our amphibious operations."
There was a burst of praise in the conference room. This comprehensive firepower configuration was the first time many people present had heard of it.
"Of course, advanced weapon systems require powerful detection and command systems to support them." Li Yang turned to another part of the drawing, "I designed the use of the 'Sea Radar-381' large phased array radar. Its peak power reaches 4 megawatts and its detection range can reach 450 kilometers."
"450 kilometers?" a radar expert exclaimed, "This has surpassed the most advanced shipborne radar in the world!"
Li Yang smiled slightly: "That's right. With our independently developed 'Type 981' shipborne weapon control system, this destroyer will have an unparalleled information advantage."
Finally, he introduced the power system: "Taking into account the reliability and degree of localization, I chose the combination of 'high-pressure boiler + steam turbine'. This system is not only mature and reliable, but also can provide sufficient electricity for those high-power equipment."
After the introduction, Li Yang looked around and saw shocked and excited faces.
Liu Ziliang stood up and said excitedly: "Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution again this time! If this destroyer can be successfully built, it will completely change the face of our navy!"
General Lin also nodded repeatedly: "That's right! With such a battleship, we can really go to the open sea and defend national interests!"
Amid the admiration, Li Yang proposed the next plan: "Everyone, the design drawings are already available, and the next step is to put them into practice. I suggest that we immediately form a special construction team and start the construction of this destroyer as soon as possible."
Liu Ziliang immediately made the decision: "It's settled! Xiao Li, you will be the general commander of this project. We will mobilize the best shipbuilding talents in the country to fully support your work!"
In this way, under the leadership of Li Yang, a large shipbuilding team was quickly formed, and shipbuilding experts, engineers and skilled workers from all over the country gathered together to start this arduous and glorious task.
……
In the shipyard, the roar of machines never ceases day and night. Li Yang leads the team, starting from the most basic hull structure, and advancing the construction work step by step.
The first step was to lay the keel. Li Yang personally supervised this critical step to ensure that each steel plate was welded perfectly. He squatted beside the dock and carefully checked each weld, his face looking focused and serious.
"This is the backbone of our destroyer," he said to the workers around him, "We must ensure its strength and stability."
As the keel was completed, the outline of the hull gradually emerged. Li Yang stood on a high place, watching the graceful streamlined outline slowly take shape, and his heart was filled with pride.
"Look, this is our 'Great Wall on the Sea'!" He pointed to the destroyer under construction and introduced it to the naval officers and soldiers who came to visit, "It will be an important step for us to move towards the deep blue!"
After the hull was built, the next step was to install various systems. Li Yang led the team to start the most complicated internal assembly work.
First, the power system. The high-pressure boiler and steam turbine were carefully hoisted into place. Li Yang personally checked every connection point to ensure that everything was installed to perfection.
"This power system is the heart of our destroyer," he told the engineers. "It not only has to ensure the ship's speed, but also provide sufficient power for all equipment. We can't be careless in the slightest."
Next came the installation of the weapon system. Two 130mm twin-mounted guns were fixed on the deck, looking majestic and imposing. Li Yang stood next to the guns and introduced their performance to everyone:
"This type of artillery has a range of up to 28 kilometers and can fire 10-12 rounds per minute. It can play a huge role in both air and sea attacks."
Then, the "Haihongqi-1" ship-to-air missile system was installed. This is a brand-new air defense weapon, which made the naval officers and soldiers present very excited.
"This missile has a maximum range of 10 kilometers and can effectively intercept various air targets," Li Yang proudly introduced. "With it, our fleet no longer has to worry about the threat of enemy aircraft."
The 533mm torpedo tubes and anti-ship missile launchers were also in place. Li Yang particularly emphasized the importance of these two weapons:
"Torpedoes are our best weapon against large surface ships, while anti-ship missiles can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a longer distance. With these two weapons, we can take the initiative in naval battles."
Finally, the "Sea Eagle" cruise missile launch tube was installed on the deck of the destroyer. Li Yang explained the characteristics of this weapon to everyone:
"This missile can accurately strike land targets from hundreds of kilometers away. In future amphibious operations, it will play a huge role in clearing obstacles for our landing forces."
After the weapon system was installed, Li Yang led the team to start debugging the electronic equipment.
The "Sea Radar-381" large phased array radar is installed on the top of the destroyer's mast. This huge radar antenna has become the most eye-catching symbol of the entire ship.
"This radar system is the 'eyes' of our destroyer," Li Yang introduced to everyone, "Its detection range reaches 450 kilometers, allowing us to detect any potential threats in the first place."
The "Type 981" shipborne weapon control system that matches the radar was also installed at the same time. Li Yang led the engineers to conduct comprehensive debugging and testing.
"This system integrates multiple functions such as missile command, fire control, friend-or-foe identification and situation display," he explained to everyone, "With it, we can make correct decisions quickly in a complex battlefield environment."
As the installation of various systems was completed, the appearance of the destroyer gradually became clear. Li Yang stood on the bridge, overlooking the entire warship, with pride shining in his eyes.
"Comrades," he turned and said to the naval officers and soldiers behind him, "this is our new generation of destroyers. It embodies the wisdom and sweat of our entire country and is an important step for us to move towards the deep blue!"
Everyone present was infected by Li Yang's enthusiasm. They looked at the destroyer that was about to be completed, their eyes full of hope and expectation.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, the construction of this new destroyer was completed. It was quietly moored at the dock, and its silver-gray hull shone brightly in the sun.
Li Yang stood on the dock, looking at the warship that had condensed his efforts, with both satisfaction and reluctance in his eyes.
"Xiao Li," Liu Ziliang walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "You have done a great job again! This destroyer will be an important milestone in the modernization of our navy."
Li Yang smiled and said: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. However, our mission is not over yet. Next, there are more difficult sea trials waiting for us."
Liu Ziliang nodded: "That's right. Keep going, we all look forward to this destroyer being put into service soon to protect the country's seas!"
In this way, under the leadership of Li Yang, this new destroyer is about to start its sea trials. This is not only the birth of a warship, but also an important step for the entire country to become a maritime power.
On the day of the sea trial, the weather was clear and the sea was as calm as a mirror. Li Yang and a group of naval officers stood on the deck of the destroyer, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Everyone, get ready to sail!" With the captain's order, the destroyer slowly left the dock and headed towards the vast ocean.
Li Yang stood on the bridge, looking at the distant horizon. He knew that the next sea trial would determine the fate of the warship and would also affect the direction of the country's naval development.
The first is the speed test. As the main engine power gradually increases, the destroyer's speed continues to rise. Li Yang stares at the dashboard, and his heartbeat speeds up.
