at this time.
The entire top brass of the Yingjiang Army was having various heated discussions.
Look at the outrageous data shown in the report!
Almost everyone had a frown on their face.
"Missile launcher with a diameter of 2.7 meters"
"A destroyer capable of launching hypersonic ballistic missiles?"
"It can even carry dozens of intercontinental ballistic missiles at one time, and its speed can reach more than 45 knots..."
"Everyone, how should we respond!"
The top commander spoke with a heavy tone and looked at several senior naval personnel sitting in the office.
If it is just a 50,000-ton destroyer, it is not enough evidence at all!
But this is a destroyer that sails faster and can even directly carry missiles with a range of thousands of kilometers!
It can even launch a fatal attack directly from the open sea area five to six thousand kilometers away.
this means.
As long as it sails to any place within the range, this destroyer will always have the Sword of Damocles hanging above its head!
You can pay the most painful price anytime, anywhere.
"Didn't we have similar research and development before?"
"Restart the construction of arsenal ships??"
A senior executive from Yingjiang next to him took a puff of cigarette and said with a frown.
He remembered seeing similar ship development plans in historical design filings.
It is also loaded with large-yield ballistic missiles, and even a destroyer has hundreds of missiles on it.
But as soon as it was submitted, it was immediately killed by the Supreme Council and the Navy.
"Arsenal ships are not feasible."
"If equipped with nuclear power, the destroyer will completely lose its high maneuverability."
"It would be better to build another Ford-class aircraft carrier."
A senior naval technical officer categorically rejected it.
China is developing a 50,000-ton destroyer not just because it can carry hypersonic missiles.
The most critical thing is that the power system of this behemoth has also been comprehensively upgraded.
It is even more sensitive than the 10,000-ton 055 large drive, and its 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?"
"Comprehensive replacement of existing Nimitz-class aircraft carriers"
The supreme commander kept tapping his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought.
This seems to be a very good solution
The Ford-class aircraft carrier's electric propulsion technology and ability to accommodate more carrier-based aircraft can also be used as a countermeasure to a certain extent.
However, he had a headache thinking about the construction costs.
now.
Looking at the destroyer in the distance, it has gradually begun to return and has begun to approach the port.
And the popularity value on the system panel is growing more and more slowly.
This live broadcast is just to gain a wave of popularity, now that the purpose has been achieved.
"Okay, audience friends!"
"That's the end of today's live broadcast! See you next time!"
Jiang Chen spoke to all the viewers and immediately closed the live broadcast.
Suddenly.
"Sister Mi, you guys should go shopping nearby first!"
"I have some things to discuss with the naval department," Jiang Chen said to Yang Mi and the others beside him.
Although he didn't get on the ship, there were some things he still needed to explain.
"Ok, I see!"
Yang Mi, Reba, and Liu Sisi said in unison and nodded solemnly.
This is exactly what they meant.
They are very interested in some large ships and want to visit them.
The only pity is that many confidential things cannot be approached up close.
Also here.
As soon as the destroyers in the port docked, several naval commanders came straight to Jiang Chen's position.
There was also an extremely excited smile on his face.
"General Engineer Jiang, this destroyer is really awesome!"
"This may be the best ship I have ever seen, not even an aircraft carrier can compare to it!!"
Captain Du held Jiang Chen's hand tightly, and the joy in his heart couldn't help but reveal.
It can be said that the various capabilities of this 50,000-ton destroyer completely conquered him.
Whether it is attack power, speed, mobility, etc., they have all reached a new level.
Before Captain Du could finish his words.
"When will the second large destroyer, Mr. Jiang, be launched?"
"Such a big ship, doesn't it take a long time to build?"
"When will our fleet be able to field such a good destroyer?"
The captains of several naval forces nearby also asked impatiently.
To know.
The construction speed of a large ship is almost measured in years.
What they want to know most now is, when will it be their turn to equip their troops with this kind of destroyer?
"If it is modified with the 055 large drive, it will take about half a year to build one."
"If we start construction again, it will take more than a year and a half."
"However, if it is built at the same time, it may not be that fast. It may even take more than two years for one vessel."
A staff member from 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 was modified from the 055 large-scale destroyer.
Moreover, the entire Penang Shipyard was operating at full power, so it was possible to complete all construction work in just three months.
Hear this.
All of a sudden.
The whole place fell silent for a moment, and the captains looked at him blankly.
Man Shang's expression changed from anxiety to surprise, and she even started to think about it!
"If Mr. Jiang can ship one ship every half a year!"
"With the number of shipyards we currently have, it shouldn't be difficult to give our fleet a 50,000-ton destroyer next year, right?"
"General Manager Jiang, you can't be partial!!"
"Lao Du already has one, so it's our turn anyway, let's split it up first, right?"
Several captains immediately came forward and started arguing.
Currently, there are about 15 ships including the 055 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 modification of more than eight ships within a year.
This means that almost every fleet can be assigned a destroyer.
However, who gets the priority is a big question!
Looking at the scene in front of me.
"Okay. Captains, please be quiet!"
"I already have plans for the specific construction work."
Jiang Chen said with a helpless face, calming the excitement of the captains present.
This is also what he will announce next, which is to announce the next construction plan.
Everyone closed their mouths and listened to his every word with bated breath.
Facing everyone's gaze.
"It's just a 50,000-ton destroyer."
"There is no need to occupy too much research and development power, and it is impossible for all shipyards to build these destroyers!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and decisively rejected this idea.
All of a sudden.
The entire audience was suffocated and looked at Jiang Chen as if they were in a daze!
A 50,000-ton destroyer, actually just a mere one?
Are you planning to build a Star Destroyer?
