Wang Xuexin nodded towards Su Xin with admiration.
She still thinks about the problem relatively comprehensively. Although others think about it well, she is in a different position when compared with Su Xin who thinks about the problem from a strategic level.
Su Xin looked at Wang Xuexin's eyes and couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, but then she thought: Wang Xuexin had been frowning when listening to other people's narrations. Does this mean that he already knew and had a conclusion? The reason why he didn't say anything was just
I just hope that researchers can have their own independent thinking ability.
Thinking about it this way, Su Xin felt that she was still far behind Wang Xuexin.
At this time, a researcher said: "But Director Su, even if the Japanese will do this, I mean they will learn from us to put anti-ship missiles on warships, but this has nothing to do with us transforming warships, right? Is it because they can
If we do this, we won't be able to move the missiles to the Musashi?"
There was a voice of agreement in the conference room. Some researchers even believed that the more this happened, the more it was necessary to complete the improvement of the "Musashi" as soon as possible, because only in this way can it be included in the fleet and increase the strength of the coastal defense regiment.
But Su Xin didn't think so. She explained slowly and unhurriedly: "Comrades, think about it, if we transform the battleships according to your plan, what will our coastal defense regiment look like in the end? A total of four ships
Destroyer plus a cruiser and a battleship!”
Su Xin looked around and then continued: "Yes, it won't take much time to modify the battleship in our way. It can form combat effectiveness in the shortest time and be sent to the battlefield. But have you ever thought about it, once the Japanese modify it?"
Man-operated missiles and warships are taking shape. Does our coastal defense regiment have a chance of winning with this level of equipment?"
This time everyone fell silent.
The question raised by Su Xin is very realistic. The strength of the coastal defense regiment cannot be compared with the Japanese combined fleet, even with the addition of a battleship.
Because the enemy has several battleships, and they are actually battleships.
The main reason why the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment was able to defeat the Japanese fleet this time was that it possessed long-range anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles and the Japanese did not know about them.
Now that the Japanese know about it, and they have also moved anti-ship missiles onto the warships, what will happen next?
There are more Japanese warships than the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese also have aircraft carriers, and their air power is greater than that of the Eighth Route Army when encountering in the open sea.
Because the Japanese anti-ship missiles are operated by humans, their accuracy and flexibility are higher than those of the Eighth Route Army!
All the Japs are superior to the Eighth Route Army. How can the Eighth Route Army Coastal Defense Regiment be undefeated?
In land warfare, we may be able to deal with the Japs in the forest and engage in guerrilla warfare, but naval warfare... is an endless ocean. As long as the Japs have control of the air, the Eighth Route Army will be in a passive state of being beaten. There is no second possibility. This cannot be changed by human power.
!
Professor Su thought for a while and then said: "Director Su, we have another advantage, which is anti-aircraft missiles. This Japs can't be controlled by humans! The Japs' anti-ship missiles are coming, can't we use anti-aircraft missiles to kill them?"
Beat it down?"
"That's right!" Several people immediately agreed: "In this way, the enemy's missiles cannot hit us, but our missiles can hit the enemy!"
Anti-aircraft missiles are a relatively special existence. They are small in size and have a fast rate of fire. The Japanese cannot use them "humanly" at all, so what Professor Su said makes sense.
But Su Xin immediately retorted: "Director, one of our destroyers can carry 30 anti-aircraft missiles, a cruiser can carry 50, and even if the battleship has more, it can carry 100, but all of them can only carry less than 300 anti-aircraft missiles."
Missiles! If calculated based on a two-to-one hit rate, these 300 anti-aircraft missiles can barely shoot down 150 targets. Does the enemy only have 150 targets?"
Professor Su was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. With the same number of warships, the Japanese would probably have more than 150 anti-ship missiles. If we add aircraft... we won't be able to effectively intercept them!"
"
Su Liguo added at this time: "The interception rate of anti-aircraft missiles against anti-ship missiles should be less than two to one, because the missiles are small in size and mostly made of wood. In addition, the distance between the enemy and ourselves in actual combat may be very short and
There is a curvature problem, and the radar cannot detect them in time and respond, so it is not realistic to use anti-aircraft missiles to intercept anti-ship missiles!"
The most serious one is actually the curvature problem.
As mentioned before, targets forty kilometers away on the sea will be blocked by the sea level, and the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar have blind spots, making it impossible to detect targets approaching at low altitudes... This is not to mention the radar of the World War II era.
The same is true for modern, more advanced radars, which is why we must have early warning aircraft in modern times.
Therefore, no matter how far away the enemy anti-ship missiles are from, the early warning distance of anti-aircraft missiles during this period is at most 40 kilometers.
"So!" Su Xin finally concluded: "What we have to consider is not how many missiles to install to hit the Japanese warships, but how to prevent the Japanese missiles from hitting us. Otherwise, the next time we fight the Japanese fleet, our coastal defense regiment will
It is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated, and the entire army will be annihilated without the ability to fight back!"
The researchers felt embarrassed when they heard this, and even couldn't accept it.
They originally thought that the Eighth Route Army Coastal Defense Regiment was equipped with anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, and that it would be easy to defeat the invading enemy fleet. Even if they could not defeat the enemy ships to protect themselves, there would not be much of a problem. Now after analysis by Su Xin, they discovered
The Eighth Route Army fleet is still in a state of being destroyed at any time.
But they had to admit that what Su Xin said was right. The key point was that the Japanese missiles could use "human manipulation" to solve many problems, not only close the technical gap and even achieve catch-up, especially TV guidance.
What very advanced technology.
After a while, someone asked: "Director Su, according to you, the Musashi ship we captured is useless? How do you think it can be modified?"
"It's very simple!" Su Xin raised her head and replied: "I still said what I just said, what we have to consider is not how to use missiles to hit the enemy's warships, but how to prevent the enemy from using missiles to hit our warships, and to prevent the enemy's missiles...
The best solution is not anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft missiles, but fighter planes!"
As soon as the word "fighter" came out, everyone in the conference room immediately understood what Su Xin meant.
"Aircraft carrier?" Professor Su looked at Su Xin in astonishment and asked, "Director Su, do you mean to change the Musashi into an aircraft carrier?"
