At first, the launch of the 055 Dachu did not cause much excitement.
Because the outfitting has not been completed, the combat effectiveness of this ship has not been fully demonstrated.
But soon, as batch after batch of pictures leaked out, all the viewers, including Lao Mei, could no longer calm down.
On the largest military network forum in the country, a post that was published for less than two hours exploded the entire public opinion about 055.
The title of the post was a typical one of shock. At first glance, I thought it was some media that was deliberately setting the pace. But after clicking in and reading the content, everyone realized that it was really shocking.
"Holy crap! The anti-ship missiles on the 055 are actually DF-21!"
The title only has this sentence, and the content is a few news pictures taken from somewhere.
In the corner of those news pictures, several missiles that were covered with cloth and had not yet been loaded were revealed.
The author reasonably analyzed the missile model through length, painting, and delivery vehicle, and after comparing it with past photos of DF-21, he came to this amazing conclusion.
At first, netizens didn’t believe it.
"I'm afraid the original poster is confused. Is it that easy to put the DF-21 on the ship? Not to mention the modification of the missile body, the vertical launch system alone can't be done!"
"Indeed, our hair hanging technology has always been quite backward. We still used tilted launches before. Now that it is the first time to lift hair on a large scale, we should not be so radical."
"You have to know that the launch difficulty of DF-21 is not comparable to that of ordinary low-speed ship-based missiles. This thing is a hypersonic missile. The tail flame alone can incinerate the vertical shaft, right?"
"That's not the case. Today's technology is no longer what it used to be. But of course, I don't believe you when you say this is the DF-21. It might be some new type of Eagle Strike series missile. Maybe it just looks similar."
"Eagle Strike series? It can't be Eagle Strike-21, right?"
"Isn't that still DF-21?"
Everyone laughed at the term "Eagle Strike-21", thinking it was just a meaningless joke played by netizens.
However, not long after, a report about the progress of 055 outfitting immediately silenced everyone.
"The YJ-21 was successfully mounted on the ship, a great leap forward in the 055's anti-ship capability!"
Netizens looked at the picture released by the news in stunned silence. There was no doubt that it was the missile that had been covered with cloth.
And, what is even more outrageous is that not only the so-called YJ-21, the report also mentioned other missiles that are about to be put on the ship, and even the anti-ballistic missile Haihongqi-29
In comparison, the most inconspicuous among the 055 ship-based missile family has become the YJ-18
This thing has just become a bit of a legend!
With a range of 600 kilometers and a penetration speed of Mach 3 or above at the end, it is already the best ship-based missile in the world. Now in front of the YJ-21, it is simply a younger brother.
"Damn it. It's really too powerful. Even the DF-21 is on the ship. Why don't you give the Burke-class a way to survive?"
"Mom, the Aegis system is completely useless. Can the current Aegis protect against the DF-21?"
"Stop talking about it, don't talk about Eagle Strike -21, even Eagle Strike -18 may not be able to prevent it."
"What the hell, why did we suddenly become the strongest on the water? Haihongqi-29, Haihongqi-26, Haihongqi-10E - isn't E an export model?"
"Not necessarily. E may also be a self-use type. The naming rules are a bit confusing at this point. But this is not important. With the trinity of all-airspace defense and the new close-in defense cannon, who else can break through the defense?"
"Then it depends on the radar. If the radar can keep up, basically there will be no suspense that Blue Star is the strongest."
The topic quickly turned to radar, but this time, everyone already knew the answer without even needing an official report.
"We already have an integrated mast, how can there be problems with the radar? Besides, the speed of our radar development in the past few years can be seen by all. How long has it been since the digital array radar was released? There will be no problems at all."
"Indeed, it depends on whether you have anti-invisibility ability."
"Don't read it. Rumor has it that 055 will be equipped with a resonant anti-stealth radar."
"Where did you get the news? Is it confidential?"
". Without getting involved in confidentiality, go to the 14th institute and see for yourself. They have released a demonstration of the results. We already have this stuff, but 055 will not use it? I don't believe it."
"Indeed. What should I do? 055 is going to become a Star Destroyer!"
"But hurry up and stop bragging - wait a minute, do you still remember the previous military push? 055 fought against the brave level and suffered a disastrous defeat."
"Will anyone do another military push? Let's see what the result is."
As soon as this request was issued, netizens with resources immediately took action.
Within a day, the most convincing results of the military recommendation were presented online.
The specific results can be said to be both unexpected and expected.
It was still 055 versus Brave, still 12 versus 12. However, this time, Brave had no chance to fire at all.
With early warning aircraft from both sides present at the same time, at a distance of 500 kilometers, 12 Type 055s fired 12 Eagle-21s, directly sending the Brave-class into the sky.
They did find 055, but they couldn't reach it.
Therefore, the testers halved the number of 055s to 6 ships.
But the Brave-class still couldn't get closer. Even though Ziyuan was flying all over the sky, it only intercepted one Eagle Strike-21, and the distance between the two fleets was shortened by less than 20 kilometers.
In the end, the number of DF-21s was limited to 3 rounds per ship, 055 became only one, and 12 Brave-class ships finally broke into the attack range.
However, in the face of the trinity of far, medium and near air defense systems, the Brave-class saturation strike is just like a joke.
The YJ-18s named each ship one by one, and the electromagnetic gun opened fire slowly.
Although at a distance of more than 200 kilometers, the electromagnetic gun has to hit a moving warship, the hit rate is already shockingly low, but this thing just highlights a large capacity.
On average, one hit in 15 shots, but one shot can take away a Valiant class.
Even before the rails were heated up, the enemies were gone.
After seeing the results of the deduction, someone suddenly posted a link in the post.
The content of the link is a question post that reads:
"What should you do if your destroyer runs out of ammunition?"
Originally, everyone in this post was laughing at the poster's ignorance. You know, if a ship can really use up all its ammunition without being destroyed, then this ship can definitely be called the God of War in a literal sense.
Everyone just took this post as a joke, but the outrageous thing is that now the joke has become true.
There is only one way for warships currently in service in the world to destroy Type 055, and that is:
Use yourself as cannon fodder to consume all 055’s ammunition.
"I'm confused. How reliable is this thing? I mean the results of this military test."
"How high is the credibility? Even if it is only 10%, then they are invincible. Positive infinity multiplied by any ratio is still positive infinity!"
"This thing is an absolute defense against current ship-based missiles. Only road-based ballistic missiles can break through!"
"Wait a minute, why don't you discuss the electromagnetic gun? The performance of the electromagnetic gun is also amazing!"
"We discussed this before when we beat the monkey. It has expired."
"Are you so fond of the new and dislike the old?!"
"It's not that we like the new and dislike the old, it's mainly because there are too many new girls."
There is a lot of joy on the Chinese Internet, but looking at other forums, the situation is completely opposite.
In addition to Monkey, the opponent who has been beaten in fear, other thornheads who have not been beaten have expressed their "opinions" online.
The most representative of them are Indians.
Their confident speeches made Li Xiang speechless from beginning to end.
In the office, Li Xiang pointed at the computer screen and said to Chen Nian:
"Come, look at these people, look at what they are posting!"
"Where does their confidence come from? They don't blush at all when they say this?"
Chen Nian put down the book in his hand and leaned over to take a look. What he saw was exactly the same kind of comments as in his previous life.
"It's just big, and technology will never catch up. The electromagnetic gun is just like a child's toy."
"It was developed in such a hurry just to make others think they have it, but in fact it is very backward. The lighthouse spent a lot of time. Although it is slow, it must be the most advanced."
"There is no need to worry about this matchbox. India is the largest arms exporter in the world - except for lighthouses, of course."
One comment after another, it can be said that their talent as a dog is fully demonstrated.
Chen Nian shook his head and said:
"You care about domestic affairs, but why do you care about foreign affairs?"
"Isn't that what these Indians are like? In their eyes, a ship that has been built for more than ten years is a normal operation. If it catches fire when it is launched, it is a launching ceremony."
"Except for Americans, no one's products work well. They are either fake or shoddy."
"One day there will be a real fight. They won't even know the pain until they can't even make bullets."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and said with pretense of worry:
"Hey, but now there are indeed many people who believe that India is the future hegemon of East Asia."
"What about the Tejas fighter jet, the Vikrant aircraft carrier, the Agni intercontinental missile, etc. In short, it does sound much more high-end than us."
Chen Nian rolled his eyes and said:
"Then they have to be able to build it. As for the Tejas fighter, which is a copy of the Mirage 2000, it's hard to say whether it can outperform the J-8, let alone the J-22 and J-20."
"I really admire them for being so comfortable being ostriches."
"Then what can be done? They have no other solution."
Li Xiang put away his joking expression and suddenly said solemnly:
"Although that is said, no matter from which aspect, India is still a major threat to us."
"Especially when it comes to border affairs, the situation in the western plateau is unclear. We may still need one or two deterrent operations to completely clear the obstacles."
Chen Nian nodded silently. In fact, what Li Xiang said was exactly what he had been thinking about recently.
After the pacification of Africa, India will inevitably become the next chess piece of the United States. At that time, how to deal with this chess piece will become something that has to be considered.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"The situation there is a bit special - a hot war is impossible, they don't dare, and we don't want to."
"In the coming period, it is estimated that physical conflicts and confrontations with cold weapons will still be the main ones."
"It's impossible to completely solve the problem, but we can consider arming ourselves so that they have no way to start."
"Isn't he just going to fight? Let Wang Jiancheng continue to modify his exoskeleton and weld the steel plates to create a simple power armor."
"Charge with cold weapons from the front, be alert with hot weapons from behind, work together!"
".Is it that simple?"
Li Xiang asked with some suspicion.
"Don't worry, it's that simple."
Chen Nian knew the ins and outs of the Indian gang. Although they clamored fiercely, they had no courage at all if they wanted to fight.
The only way to deceive ourselves and others is to divert some domestic conflicts by creating border frictions.
After all, Brahmins and Kshatriyas may be bad, but they are not stupid.
Those Shudras think they can defeat the J-20 with the Glory Fighter, but they don't take it seriously.
Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Li Xiang relaxed and leaned back on the chair. Then, he said:
"Okay, then I don't have to think too much about this."
"Originally, I planned to use public opinion strategies to suppress the probability of conflict."
"Now"
Li Xiang smiled mysteriously and said no more.
But Chen Nian saw what he was thinking, so he advised:
"Fishing harms your moral character, so fish less."
"It's okay. I'm fishing for foreigners, and the king of hell in the country has nothing to do with it."
After that, he turned around and started working on the computer. Before long, a series of reports and comments appeared on the Internet.
It is still Li Xiang's usual style, well-founded and well-hidden.
"055 boasts so much, but in fact it's not worth mentioning at all!"
"If compared with quantity, China's destroyer tonnage per capita is even smaller than Spain's. How can a navy like this go out to fight?"
"Compared with Zumwalt, the former seems to come from the world of science fiction, while 055 is shockingly ugly."
"Even if you don't mention modern warships, compared with the Yamato, the Yamato has a full load displacement of 72,810 tons, while the 055 has a full load displacement of only more than 10,000 tons. The tonnage is simply pitiful."
"The Trident missile carried by the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine has a range of more than 8,000km, and the 055 Eagle missile has a range of only 1,500km. The 055's range is seriously insufficient."
"The Izumo can carry more than ten helicopters, and the 055 can only carry a maximum of two. The air power is far insufficient."
"055 has no actual combat experience, but in a special military operation in the Middle East, the civilian Boeing 767 achieved an impressive record of thousands of people with the loss of only two aircraft."
"The 055 is not advanced at all. According to the current public information, this ship is the last among the all-airspace radar air defense ships, and the second last in the world even among destroyers of the same tonnage!"
