"This frigate is a retired second-generation frigate from Northern Bear Country.”
Professor Chen walked in front of them, introducing them to Chen Chu and Ol 'Zhou.
"Other things aside, in terms of performance, it is indeed superior to the Type 021 frigate! The Type 031 could hit the Type 021 from 30 kilometers away, while the Type 021 could only defend passively. I can't hit him."
Hearing Professor Chen introduce a series of parameters, Old Zhou gasped.
After all, he had been demoted for more than three years. He had no access to the latest military intelligence.
Ol 'Zhou, who had finally mastered the core technology of the Type 021, had an ugly expression on his face.
"The second-generation ship is really f * cking good. If we had such an excellent frigate four years ago, it wouldn't have been so difficult.”
"By the way, Professor Chen, I heard that the top frigates of the Northern Bear Country are second-generation?”
"Yes!" Professor Chen explained. In the second and a half generations, only Northern Bear Country and Free Country were left! However, they were rare. It would take at least three to five years to mass produce them. But I guess they are already secretly trying to develop a third-generation frigate!”
"We've only just conquered the core technology of the Type 021. The second generation is still in sight, but they're already working on the third generation? Are you going to let me live?"
Old Zhou cursed, feeling terrible.
Chen Chu listened as he fumbled around with the equipment.
Originally, he thought that this second-generation frigate would be of great help to him.
Who knew that the progress of the technical analysis of the upgraded version of the Type 021 was…not much.
Third generation ship-borne dual-barrel automatic air defense artillery technology complete version (Analysis progress 22%, analysis time 140 days), complete version of shipborne fire control radar technology (Analysis progress 0, analysis time 600 days), complete version of the third-generation ship power system (analysis progress 15%, analysis time 220 days), complete version of ship-borne anti-air and anti-ship fast strike missile system technology (analysis progress 5%, analysis time 370 days), complete version of electronic interference system technology (analysis progress 13%, analysis time 271 days), complete version of Seahawk sonar technology...
After thinking about it, he felt that it would be too time-consuming to analyze all the technologies of the third-generation frigate in one go.
Time was running out, so he could only do it one by one.
"The Type 031 isn't a real second-generation frigate, is it?" Chen Chu asked almost subconsciously.”
"What do you mean?" Old Zhou was surprised.
Professor Chen glanced at Chen Chu and said helplessly.
"It's called a second-generation frigate, but in fact, according to our data, it's only half a step into the second-generation category!”
"Let me tell you a secret. I suspect that the Northern Bear Country modified the retired first-and-a-half-generation frigates and disguised them as second-generation frigates to sell to us.”
Old Zhou panicked when he heard that.
"Tsk, Northern Bear Country is treating us like wronged children! You spent 115 million just for this?"
"Yeah, 115 million! Logically speaking, the so-called two second-generation frigates in Gu Shan's military procurement should not be much different from this! But he asked for 250 million!"
"What? 115 million for each ship! Not only did the two ships not get a discount, but they even increased by 20 million?”
Professor Chen shrugged." It can't be helped. This is the outcome of not mastering the core technology. The price can only be set by others. Not buying? Heh, the others are already at the door showing off, how can I not buy?”
"The Japanese 88th Squadron is going to sea again next year. If we buy it again, the price will definitely be higher!”
Chen Chu frowned when he heard about the 88th Fleet.
In his impression, the Japanese 88th Fleet brought a lot of pressure to the Dragon Country's navy.
At least before the launch of the aircraft carrier in 2012, the pressure of the 88th Fleet had always been on top of the Dragon Country's navy.
After a pause, Professor Chen told them a secret.
"Actually, this 115 million isn't a loss. Through reverse engineering, we are already secretly developing a second-generation frigate!”
"Really?"
"Absolutely. I was involved too." Professor Chen nodded. However, during the research, they encountered many difficulties.”
"As for the other two frigates, one is a first-and-a-half-generation frigate, and the other is a second-generation frigate that we modified ourselves.”
"We can even produce second-generation frigates?”
This news obviously shocked Old Zhou.
" Uh…" Professor Chen hesitated for a moment and said helplessly,""Actually, in terms of actual combat power, it is slightly weaker than the Type 021…by a little.”
Listening to their conversation, Chen Chu understood.
He remembered that at this time in his previous life, the Dragon Country was indeed secretly reversing the second-generation frigate.
But…the progress was not very smooth.
"Its weight and power are comparable to the second-generation frigates, but the anti-air and anti-ship missile systems, including the radar and other core technologies, have encountered great difficulties.”
Professor Chen was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"This…this is confidential. Xiao Chen, how did you know? Old Zhou?"
Old Zhou quickly shook his head. He didn't know about these things.
"Very simple." Chen Chu calmly said," The core technology of the first and a half generations hasn't been completely mastered. The second generation of reverse engineering is nothing more than overtaking cars on corners. However, if the foundation is insufficient, the difficulty will still be very high.”
"If these core technologies were mastered, a generation and a half would have been put into mass production long ago. Therefore, the possibility of it being an empty shell was very high.”
After listening to Chen Chu's explanation, Professor Chen exclaimed,""This is the sharpness of scientific research talent.”
"Our self-developed ship-borne missile, Red 61, can be installed on warships in batches, but…the maximum range is only 12 kilometers!”
12 kilometers?
Old Zhou was stunned.
What the f * ck!
The Type 021 was only one and a half generations old, and the maximum range of the ship-borne missiles was 22 kilometers! The two armies faced each other, and as soon as they saw the shadow, they were beaten up. He couldn't even counterattack.
What kind of second-generation ship is this! It had good power and could run fast, but it couldn't outrun a missile.
Using power to scare the enemy who didn't know what was going on and make them misjudge?
Old Zhou could only think so.
"Currently, our newly developed SA-N-7 air defense missile has a maximum range of 33 kilometers! But it uses semi-active radar guidance…"
Before Professor Chen could finish, Chen Chu interrupted.
"The reaction time is too long, right?”
Professor Chen nodded in agreement."Too long! But Xiao Chen, how did you know?”
"This is the fatal flaw of semi-active radar homing guidance.”
Chen Chu's casual words made Old Zhou feel so embarrassed that he couldn't even hide his face.
Chen Chu asked for a pen and paper. After writing down a series of formulas on the paper, he drew a few sketches.
A few minutes later, the calculation results were out.
"According to my calculations, it takes about 17 to 19 seconds for the radar to detect the target and launch the missile.”
"Little Chen, you're amazing. A while ago, our latest test data showed that it required 18 seconds!”
"18 seconds? Before the missiles even left the ship, the frigate was already destroyed. It's not advisable."
Half an hour later, the three of them got off the Type 031.
An officer from the base had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Professor Chen come down, he quickly handed a stack of documents over.
"Professor Chen, this is the information you need.”
Professor Chen took the documents and handed them to Chen Chu.
"Xiao Chen, these are the data observations I made when I first boarded the ship. I hope it will be of some help to you."
"Do we need to take a look at the destroyer? I don't have enough authority to look at the destroyer. I need Zhou Xingguo, Zhang Zhong, and Professor Zhao to jointly apply.”
Chen Chu flipped through the information and said casually,""I don't need it for the time being."
After flipping through the pages, Chen Chu made a decision and looked at Ol 'Zhou.
"Old Zhou, postpone the Type 021 renovation plan!!”
"What? Delay? I've already submitted the application for funding.”
"Only the second and a half generation can pose a threat to the 88th Fleet!" Chen Chu said. Even if the Type 021 was to be refurbished at 8 million, it would not be meaningful anymore!”
"Old Zhou, you have to remember that what we need now is not quantity, but quality! Even if there were ten more of the self-produced pseudo-second generation frigates, would they have a chance of winning against the 88th Fleet?”
Old Zhou and Professor Chen looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
The modern navy could no longer be won by numbers.
Quality was especially important!
"So…"
Chen Chu said firmly.
"Next, I want to improve the 021! It had to reach at least the second and a half generation before it could be put into renovation and mass production!”
"Next year, when the Japanese 88th Squadron goes to sea, I want to give them a surprise!”
