The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 533 Anti-ship
"So, YLK is going to lose this time?"

“Then we have to kneel down. The great Americans are at their zenith now. Beating up a little YLK is a piece of cake for them.” Liu Hua said with a smile, “Back in the day, his father had already beaten them. Now this is called the student surpassing the master.”

Ma Shan said regretfully, "What a pity, they succeeded so easily. We should have done something to them. We couldn't have let them get away so easily."

“You’re right about that. You can win a fight, but you can’t just walk away.” Liu Hua smiled contemptuously. “You can’t expect all the good things to go to him. That madman will definitely be beaten into submission, but you can’t just leave after you’re done. He’ll be stuck here for at least ten or twenty years.”

“That’s true. It’s like playing cards. You can’t just walk away after winning one round,” Sun Guangming said mockingly. “They’re already deep in the Imperial Graveyard. If they get deep into YLK as well, I can’t even imagine how chaotic it would be.”

"Stop trying to watch the show; he's definitely not going anywhere. Even if he wanted to leave, the capital in his country wouldn't allow it."

"Then you'd better keep up the good work," Ma Shan said to Liu Hua with a smile. "The Americans are throwing real money into the water, which is your chance."

"I've always been moving forward under pressure. No matter how big the Americans are, they won't make any stupid moves. I'll develop my high technology," Liu Hua said confidently. "They can't stop me."

"Yes, the great Americans can't stop you, and they can't stop our country either."

Within two days, representatives from several major aircraft manufacturing companies visited Taiyi Heavy Industry and placed orders for more than 300 welding robots on the spot. Liu Hua knew that China's fighter jet production would soon experience rapid development, and there would never be too many of these fully automated welding robots.

Sure enough, just as the people from the major aircraft manufacturing companies left, a Shanghai-based aircraft manufacturing company arrived. They produce civilian aircraft and have recently encountered a major opportunity for development, ordering more than two hundred welding robots at once.

The factories under Sun Guangming's management have also placed orders for three to four hundred units.

Originally intended to solve the problem of producing welding robots for its own use, it suddenly became a flagship product and made great strides in the international market, with even heavy industry companies in Europe coming to buy it.

Fanuc and Yaskawa are just junior companies, and even the junior ones at that. If Liu Hua is not careful, he might squeeze these companies out of business again.

Taiyi Heavy Industry subscribes to many international industrial magazines, several of which have given their welding robots unprecedentedly high scores, even higher than some Western products.

This has never happened before. In the past, even if we had good things, the foreigners wouldn't give us high marks. Now that our country is stronger and has some influence, they've started to pretend to elevate our status.

The Americans are getting along really well with the locals in the Middle East, and we're also frantically testing new equipment here.

Our newly developed anti-ship missile has been officially deployed on the ship. Previous tests have proven that our new anti-ship missile has an attack range of over 800 kilometers. Combined with our latest radar, we can directly conduct beyond-visual-range combat.

The Wuzhiqi warship was equipped with vertical launch units and new anti-ship missiles were loaded. The 10,000-ton behemoth slowly sailed out of the naval port.

This test was to examine the specific application of anti-ship missiles at sea. In the South China Sea, we deployed a target ship, but its exact location was unknown to anyone except those in command.

Therefore, this test will not only examine the anti-ship missile's capabilities but also the radar's search capabilities.

Our standards have always been high and strict. Even before Wuzhiqi had completed assembling its team, it had already prepared for the battle of a lone ship facing doom. After three days of arduous travel and searching, Wuzhiqi finally located its target: a remotely controlled target ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons.

After receiving a radar warning, the operators of the remote-controlled target ship started messing with the vessel, since it was just a target ship destined to be sunk.

They would sometimes draw circles on the sea, sometimes draw S-shapes, sometimes speed up, sometimes slow down, trying to evade Wuzhiqi's attacks.

Wuzhiqi opened the launch hatch directly, and a cloud-piercing arrow brought forth a thousand troops.

After a short while, everyone saw the target ship disappear from the radar. At that time, reconnaissance aircraft were still transmitting real-time images back from high altitude.

A missile was seen flying towards the target drone. Although the target drone was constantly maneuvering and the missile was also slightly changing its trajectory, it accelerated directly after approaching the target and pierced the target ship's hull with lightning speed.

Then they saw flames shooting into the sky and the target ship torn to pieces. Before long, the sea returned to calm.

The command center erupted in cheers. The highest-ranking leader in charge picked up the phone: "Hello, Wuzhiqi, this is the command center."

"Hello, command. I am the captain of Wuzhiqi."

"Comrade Captain, I am honored to congratulate you on the excellent completion of your anti-ship mission. You did it exceptionally well. I would like to commend you for your service, and I will toast you when you return."

The captain humbly replied, "The main reasons are that the warship is good, the radar is good, the missiles are good, and all the officers and soldiers are well-trained."

"Alright, you can return now."

The leaders kept their word and applied for a collective third-class merit award for them, and even held a celebration banquet.

The next day, the leaders of the three fleets went to headquarters. The sea trial of Wuzhiqi was considered a successful conclusion, and all three fleets wanted to bring it to their side.

The result was as Liu Hua had predicted.
That evening, the agricultural channel broadcast a news report that spoke vaguely.

That evening, the internet was abuzz with speculation, with major military enthusiast websites speculating about the nature of the new warship and missile.
Warships are no small thing; they can't be hidden away. After all, they're tens of thousands of tons in size, and wherever they're moored, they're like a small island.

About a week later, the flag-raising ceremony was broadcast on the news at seven o'clock. The news said that the ship was fully loaded with 10,000 tons, more than 70 cluster firing cells, 55mm naval guns, and 10,000-round close-in weapon systems.

Every number stirs the hearts of military enthusiasts, but it's not just our military enthusiasts who are surprised.
