"Captain, can you tell us that the new system installed by the 331 ship and the others will find us first?" When Zhou Yunhai was anxious, the 369 ship hid in the edge of the exercise area at a low speed and was walking against the 331 ship at a low speed. At this moment, the first mate Pi Chengjun was also talking with the captain Mei Linkai about this new system to be installed on their ship. "If this new system does not perform well, will we still modify it?"

Mei Linkai had no answer to the question of Pi Chengjun. "Who knows, it is said that this system has the participation of Dr. Duke, and the performance should not be too poor." Mei Linkai answered while focusing on the information from various indicators on his ship. "I heard that it is similar to the combat systems of the Air Force and the Army, and has achieved a high degree of informatization. Unlike our current indicators, it is much simpler and more beautiful."

"If you want me to say that the enemy cannot discover it first, no matter how beautiful it is, it is a fancy." Pi Chengjun curled his lips, "Although our Kiro ship has been a bit old, it has good performance and is not bad at all compared to the 331 ship. Now that the power has been replaced by nuclear power, it is even more powerful. If you want me, you don't have to make trouble."

It seems that Pi Chengjun is also a person who is very wary of the new system. After all, this system was taken out in a hurry. Compared with the Army and Air Force related systems, it has not been tested on a large scale. This is relatively rare in naval equipment. On the one hand, it is forced by the situation, and on the other hand, it is also because Duke has almost become a golden signboard now, and he trusts Duke in the assembly.

However, this inadequately verified thing still made the officers on the front line of the navy feel a little nervous.

"Don't draw conclusions so quickly, and wait until we successfully escape their search this time," Mei Linkai said lightly. He was not as skeptical as Pi Chengjun. However, the exercise has not ended now, so we can't draw conclusions too early. This time he chose to cruise at a low speed at one end away from Zhou Yunhai and others, completely using the battery on the boat, and the range of range exceeds 400 nautical miles at low speeds. In other words, during the entire exercise, they can use battery power to maintain the minimum navigation noise and reduce the distance discovered by the enemy's sonar, so that the enemy can discover it first and then sneak past the opponent's search gap.

The Kilo-class submarine is known as an oceanic black hole and has strong anti-submarine penetration capabilities. Of course, Mei Linkai has to use this greatest advantage to defeat the search of the Red Army.

The current military exercises are not the kind of acting that stipulated the victory or defeat in advance, but the red and blue sides can freely play after the preset battlefield and battle goals. Whoever can successfully defeat the opponent in the exercise will be commended by the superior department. In the absence of practical opportunities on weekdays, this is the best opportunity for Mei Linkai and others to make contributions and upgrade. Therefore, in every confrontation exercise, both sides rack their brains to defeat the opponent.

It can be said that except for not using real weapons, other aspects of this confrontational exercise are almost no different from actual combat. This is also a touchstone for real testing of the strength of both sides. When there is no actual combat opportunity, this exercise can continuously improve and maintain combat effectiveness in confrontation. Therefore, the military regards the victory or defeat of this exercise as an assessment indicator second only to the execution of combat tasks.

According to past experience, if the 369 ship is not activated to drive the main propeller and battery-powered ship, if the 331 ship is at least not less than 5 nautical miles, this must be the advantageous position of the 331 ship's cruise. Before that, the sonar of the 369 ship should have discovered the opponent at a distance of 2 to 3 nautical miles, so that it can calmly avoid the opponent.

The two sides had conducted many confrontational exercises before, and in most cases the Kilo won by this advantage.

This time, Mei Linkai is also preparing to use the same trick again and use this advantage to defeat his opponent again.

The exercise command of a fleet of Navy, watching the red and blue submarines on the big screen getting closer and closer, and the breathing of the school-level officers began to rise rapidly. The mentality of these officers and the two sides of the exercise was different. They deeply felt that the situation was now severe and they had high hopes for this new system. If this exercise proves that the performance of the new system is far different from the performance indicators provided by the laboratory, then the pressure on the navy will be very huge in the face of the joint efforts of the Japanese pirates and the Americans in the future.

As the main combat power of the PLA Navy, the submarines are the winners and losers of the navy when the sea surface power is weak. If they are unable to deal with the challenges of their opponents, the entire navy may have suffered a tragedy of defeat in the increasingly prone maritime conflict.

Because relying solely on the sea, the navy is not the opponent of the Japanese pirates and the Americans. We only have two aircraft carrier formations. The main forces of destroyers and frigates are far inferior to those of the Japanese pirates and the Americans now gather in East Asia. An American aircraft carrier battle group has at least 6 advanced surface destroyers, and the 6 aircraft carrier formations have at least 36 more.

Not to mention that the Japanese pirates also have 8 King Kong i/ii class, 18 Village Yu/High Wave class, 12 Chaowu class destroyers and 2 20,000-ton helicopter aircraft carriers as the main force, 2 Big Blade Wind class, 2 Flag Wind class destroyers and 12 Chuxue class as second-tier substitutes.

In comparison, our three fleets of advanced destroyers, 052,054 series and modern ships, which are comparable to them, have no more than 30 ships in total. Coupled with a large number of Type 022 stealth missile boats, their strength is far lower than that of their opponents.

Therefore, from the sea alone, the navy is obviously at an absolute disadvantage and can only rely on the support of the land-based air force and shore-based anti-ship missiles to maintain near-shore defense. If the navy is completely unable to form effective resistance and do nothing, at that time, the combat pressure on the entire sea will be transferred to the air force. For the already effective and tight air force, it must not only compete for air supremacy, but also seize sea supremacy. Obviously, this is a huge burden that the air force cannot bear, which will greatly change the strategic situation of the entire war zone.

Maybe the current situation may be reversed, and the journey of Taiwan’s return that has been pushed hard will be greatly affected.

Therefore, general-level officers who have a real understanding of the above situation are very concerned about this confrontational exercise. If the exercise proves that the new system can greatly improve the combat power of the existing main combat force, it can effectively compete with the opponent at the bottom of the sea, and rely on land-based forces to effectively defend in the nearshore. At that time, the integrated land-air will not be afraid of the coalition forces of the Japanese pirates and the Americans.

15 nautical miles! 12 nautical miles! 11 nautical miles! As the distance got closer, all the officers of the exercise command center were tightened. Suddenly, a flashing prompt was heard from the Red Army command system that was directly connected to the big screen. The new system found a low-speed submarine ship 369 at a distance of more than 10 nautical miles!

The officers of the exercise command suddenly exclaimed applause and could no longer suppress their excitement. The new system is indeed very effective. In terms of detecting low-speed submarines, the effective discovery range has been more than doubled. If the 369 ship is not driven by batteries but diesel engines, it is believed that the effective discovery range will be greater than 15 nautical miles.

This effect is slightly higher than the level of the Japanese pirates Canglong class and the US Los Angeles-class submarines.

The tactics of the Shifeng Detachment were also recognized by the exercise command, and were prepared to be promoted to various submarine units of the Navy as a typical tactic of a new system.

Soon, a new submarine marching with Shadow-class drones began a cluster of 4-6 ships undersea cruises, and a dark battle under the sea began.

(Damn, the timing is wrong!)
