Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"There's really no secret at all."

Hearing Jiang Chaoyang's question, Fang Yu answered slowly.

"The reason I was able to sink that destroyer was because its hull had been damaged by anti-ship missiles."

"The stress conditions on the hull have changed. Only a small impact is needed to completely break it!"

"Another reason is that I used an advanced special steel when manufacturing this missile boat!"

Fang Yu pointed at his 022 missile boat and said.

"This special steel was developed using the latest technology. Its mechanical strength has been greatly increased, reaching 2.5-3 times the hull strength of current destroyers!"

"In other words, although the hull thickness of my missile boat is only 60mm, it actually has the same protection as an ordinary warship with a 180mm hull!"

"Also, because this is the first prototype, I also added protective steel plates to its bow."

"That's why I was able to easily smash the destroyer in half!"

"Special steel?!"

After hearing Fang Yu's explanation, Jiang Chaoyang and Li Dingyuan were suddenly surprised and happy.

Especially Li Dingyuan, he was so excited that he almost fainted!

As a master of weapons design, he naturally knew what a special steel with a strength about three times that of ordinary steel meant.

Although this type of steel is currently only used by Fang Yu in shipbuilding.

But no one said that other weapons cannot be used!

For example, if this special steel is applied to the Dragon Country tank that is about to begin development...

You should know that the front armor of the Sherman tank is only about 108mm.

Even if the standard tank that Longguo wants to develop is the same as the Sherman, it will only be about 100mm.

But if the material used is the special steel researched by Fang Yu, doesn't it mean that the protection is equivalent to more than 300mm?

In this era, this is definitely the legendary Wall of Sighs!

No matter how the rest of the tank guns bombarded, it was only like tickling the Dragon Country tanks and could not break through the defense at all!

Not only tanks, if this high-strength special steel is used in cars, airplanes, trains and other machinery, wouldn’t it be...

Fang Yu was slightly puzzled when he saw Li Dingyuan trembling with excitement.

However, if he knew what the other person was thinking, he would definitely feel a little disdainful.

Can the equivalent of 300mm tank armor make you so excited?

If he knew that I would create a composite armor with a protection equivalent to more than 1000mm in the future, which would be called the real Wall of Sighs, wouldn't he have attacked it directly?

"Fang Yu, I have a few more questions for you. I wonder if you can answer them?"

After the excitement, Li Dingyuan quickly calmed down and asked Fang Yu hurriedly.

"Director Li, if you have any questions, just ask. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu laughed and said.

"Okay, then I'll ask."

"Just now, when you were fighting those destroyers at sea, something very strange happened."

"Their warships clearly have radars, but why didn't they detect you, allowing you to easily get behind them?"

"Could it be that this is also the new technology you just developed..."

"Yeah, yeah, I wanted to ask you that too, but Old Li got there first."

Hearing this, Jiang Chaoyang nodded quickly, and then he smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Fang, we are your elders after all, so don't hide anything from us!"

"What secrets does your ship have? Tell us all at once, and let us two country bumpkins open our eyes!"

"Look at what you said. I didn't intend to hide it from you two..."

After hearing what Jiang Chaoyang said, Fang Yu said with a helpless smile.

Immediately afterwards, he told Li Dingyuan and the others all the parameters of the 022 missile boat, including his newly researched anti-ship missiles.

By the time Fang Yu finished speaking, Jiang Chaoyang and Li Dingyuan had already fallen into a brief state of inactivity, as if they had just finished listening to a divine book...

What is the anti-radar stealth hull design?

What is stealth coating?

What on earth is a wave-piercing catamaran?

It’s just a small warship less than 50 meters long. How much black technology has Fang Yu put into it!

After hearing what Fang Yu said, Jiang Chaoyang and Li Dingyuan realized that with so many technologies, it was not surprising for the 022 missile boat to fight one against five.

If I lose, that would be a miracle...

However, after realizing it, Jiang Chaoyang's face showed a hint of confusion.

"Xiaoyu, from what you said, this ship uses so many new materials and technologies, so it must be very expensive, right?"

"You know, our Dragon Nation was founded not long ago. Although I am the commander-in-chief of the navy, I don't have much money."

"Can I afford your boat?"

It’s no wonder Jiang Chaoyang said that.

The navy's warships are different from the weapons of other branches of the military.

The most expensive tank in the Army costs just over $20 at today's prices.

Even the latest jet fighter, the F86, costs only $40.

However, the price of any destroyer is around 800 to 1000 million US dollars.

The Dragon Kingdom had just been established, and almost all of the military funds it had were allocated to the army.

As for the Dragon Kingdom Navy, the military budget it receives each year is pitifully small, otherwise it wouldn't still be using those old ships that have been in service for more than 20 years...

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang. The main feature of my missile boat is its large quantity and sufficient supply! The cost is only about one-tenth of those destroyers of the United States."

"This is just the price of making this prototype. If we mass-produce it, the price will be even lower... Anyway, I won't let you go bankrupt!"

The price of this 022 missile boat in the 21st century is 1 million RMB per boat, which is equivalent to about 1200 million US dollars.

One dollar in the 50s is equivalent to 20 dollars in the 21st century.

By this calculation, even a complete version of the 022 missile boat would only cost $50 to build in the 60s.

Not to mention, due to the times, Fang Yu also castrated the optoelectronic control module and data link module of the 022 missile boat.

All in all, one boat costs $50 for sure!

"That's great! Even if I'm poor, I still have millions in military funds!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoyang showed a look of surprise and continued excitedly.

"Xiao Yu, when you get back, I'll give your Uncle Jiang 20 missile boats!"

"With these ships, I can fight the Bald Man's navy, not to mention the United States' Seventh Fleet!"

After witnessing the powerful strength of the 022 missile boat, Jiang Chaoyang wished that the United States' Seventh Fleet would pass through the strait again.

So that I can avenge my previous shame!

"Haha, Uncle Jiang, don't be too impulsive. Now is not the time to have a decisive battle with the Americans at sea."

Hearing this, Fang Yu chuckled.

"These Type 022 missile boats are sufficient as coastal defense ships, but it would be too difficult for them to fight an aircraft carrier battle group in the deep sea."

"But don't worry, within three years, I will build a truly invincible fleet for our Dragon Kingdom Navy that can traverse the seven seas!"

"By then, let alone the Seventh Fleet, even if the Americans mobilize their entire fleet, we can still send them all into the sea to feed the sharks!"
