Chapter 35 The Hardworking Pioneers
Xu Xingchen is building the second time now, and the ship girl he built himself is likely to be all new ships that were unprecedented, so he has no experience to refer to.
You can only roughly guess the size and range of the other party's hull based on resource and time consumption, and it is difficult to determine the type of ship.
However, 19 minutes didn't take long. Xu Xingchen and a few people in Kunming liked to chat for a while, analyzing and guessing the identity of their new companions, and the countdown slowly ended.
Then, under the gaze of the five followers, Xu Xingchen cheered up, stood up straight, and with anticipation, he solemnly pressed the opening button.
The thick metal hatch slowly rose, and in the faint white mist, a tall and slender white figure appeared in front of Xu Xingchen and five curious little guys.
The other party's image is a little complicated - although the jewelry on it is similar to Changchun and Xiao Chongqing, they are all very obvious in the Republic style or naval style.
However, these richly styled ornaments were placed on a long skirt with a wide-sleeved shirt with a somewhat ancient style. There was even a long sword with an ancient shape hanging around her waist.
This is not the end. Outside these already mixed clothes, there is also a white coat similar to that worn by researchers and doctors.
Her natural image of her figure and facial features is a very soft and gentle style, and she seems to be a very friendly big sister.
However, the expression on her face was particularly solemn and tough, and the vision revealed from her dark and bright pupils was also very solemn and steady.
From dressing to image and temperament, from inside to outside, it is a girl who is cross-border mixing, which makes Xu Xingchen and the five little guys around him a little confused.
But the other party was very simple and capable. His eyes swept across the hall in front of him and stopped on Xu Xingchen's face.
After nodding slightly, he spoke in a very soft and nice voice, in a simple and bright tone:
"Hello comrade Commander, 053K air defense missile frigate, 531 ship Yingtan reported. If there is a combat mission, please give instructions as soon as possible. If there is no combat mission, I have to debug my air defense missile. We do not have aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and air defense missiles are not very useful, which is really a very unfavorable situation..."
"Ah, OK, OK, Hello Comrade Yingtan, welcome to join my fleet..."
Xu Xingchen quickly agreed and completed the contract ceremony at the same time. He recalled the information about the prototype ship of the girl in front of him. It was a meritorious ship with very complicated experiences.
The 053K missile frigate, the first ship, the 531 Yingtan, the standard displacement is 1,674 tons, and the full load displacement is 1,940 tons.
She can be regarded as the elder sister of the entire 053 series, a total of 48 frigates, and is also the first warship in China equipped with air defense missiles.
The Yingtan can be regarded as an experimental warship. The design goal is to install ship-based air defense missiles, that is, the first domestic ship-based air defense missile: Hongqi 61B.
However, the development process of the Hongqi 61B carrier-based air defense missile is very tortuous, and even the overall plan has been pushed forward in the middle.
After the missile is actually produced and loaded into the ship, there are still various problems during testing, and the finalization cannot be completed for a long time.
The Yingtan ship has been repeatedly adjusted and transformed almost all his life, and has not formed practical and effective air defense combat capabilities for a long time.
The Yingtan ship started construction in July 1970, and the hull was completed and launched in October of the following year. However, the ship-based equipment was installed for five years and finally put into service in March 1975.
Moreover, this service was not fully in service. The supporting Hongqi 61B air defense missile was not finalized until 1986, so the warship officially entered service in 1986.
In this way, it took nearly sixteen years from the start of construction to the formal finalization of service!
The No. 2 ship of the same model was even dismantled because of its inability to be in place due to its long-term idleness, resulting in rust and damage to the ship. In the end, it was not fully served or officially named.
With a small problem, the Yingtan served in service for just two years during the adjustment. On March 14, 1988, the Yingtan participated in the last actual combat of the Navy, the March 14 naval battle, with the Type 65 frigate 502 Nanchong ship and the 053H1 frigate 556 Xiangtan ship.
Under the suppression of our superior firepower, the fleet achieved the results of sinking two enemy transport ships at the cost of one person's forearm being penetrated, seriously injuring a large landing ship (sinking after escaping), and regaining the foundation for the "magic work of nature".
At that time, the results of the war were not expanded as much as possible and all the magical foundations were taken back, so as to guard against the enemy's shore-based fighter bombers' attacks.
At that time, domestic fighter jets could not reach such a faraway sea area to support combat. The only ship of Yingtan, which was equipped with air defense missiles, had the performance of the missiles that were not satisfactory.
The original commander later recalled that if the Navy had its own aircraft carrier at that time and could support it in nearby waters, there would be no need for so many concerns at the beginning.
During the entire service cycle, the Yingtan, as the only air defense ship at that time, conducted a lot of experiments and tests, and the life of the ship-based equipment was quickly consumed.
In addition, as the first ship of the entire 053 series, it was built early and has many design problems. There were a lot of problems with the hull and equipment status for a long time.
Therefore, with the large number of new frigates in service, they were retired on July 15, 1994, and then they were retained as a patriotic education base in Naval Museum in Qingshima.
The service process that runs through the Yingtan ship is terrifying: born with ups and downs, experienced hardships throughout his life, worked hard and made great contributions throughout his life, and was honored to retire and preserve.
The beliefs, ideals and history she carries are worth remembering and carrying forward, and the arrangements as an educational base after retirement are the most appropriate.
After Xu Xingchen understood her identity, he was so excited that he could not express his feelings. Even if she had no combat power, he had to keep it well.
What's more, after becoming a ship girl, the transformation is no longer limited by the original design of the hull, and it is impossible for me to lose combat power in my hands.
More importantly, her prototype ship was the first warship to install air defense missiles, and the same was true in her own fleet.
She brought the Hongqi 61B air defense missile. Although it may still be immature, it only needs to be improved with the foundation.
So, after completing the contract, Xu Xingchen breathed a little slow and greeted him directly:
"Since it comes to air defense missiles, it is indeed a very important equipment. There is no combat mission at the moment. I will first take you and the little guys next to you to get to know each other, say hello, and then go to the scientific research center to have a look."
Yingtan was very satisfied with Xu Xingchen's arrangement, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face:
"Then please comrade commander."
"Um."
Xu Xingchen agreed with a smile, and immediately introduced the four sisters in Chongqing and Kunming. They were all former comrades from the same era or similar era. There were no obstacles to communicating, and they became familiar with each other in just a few words.
Then, under the guidance of Xu Xingchen, several people were preparing to go out together and visit the main facilities in the port area.
As a result, there were some rapid footsteps outside. Yixian, who was supposed to be busy at the command center building, walked over from outside in a hurry. When he saw Xu Xingchen, he immediately reported:
Chapter completed!
