Chapter 594: Dismantling the Destroyer
Seeing the Tomahawk cruise missiles getting closer and closer, the captain of the Burke-class missile destroyer turned pale.
"These damn bastards can't even get their target right, hurry up and shoot it down for me!"
Whoosh——
A Standard II air defense missile was fired towards the Tomahawk cruise missile.
Unfortunately, the Tomahawk cruise missile was too fast. Even though the Standard-2 air defense missile hit it, it was too close to the ship, and the huge explosion just covered the command platform within range.
Modern missile destroyers do not have the heavy armor of the battleship era. They are all thin skin and large fillings.
Being hit by a Tomahawk cruise missile explosion at close range is almost the same as being hit directly.
The shock wave tore the command desk into pieces, and the people inside were directly turned into pieces.
The severe damage to the command platform caused the command system of the entire battleship to fail, and even the active phased array radar panel attached to the outer shell of the command platform was destroyed.
Most of the warship's military power was wasted.
The remaining two Umwalt Arsenal ships also became floating targets at sea due to the lack of command and data links.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two warships prepared to escape.
However, Zhang Tuohai immediately launched two Adaz missiles, hitting their propellers and paralyzing their ability to move.
"Hahaha, it's finally harvest time!"
Seeing that several warships had become floating targets, Zhang Tuohai was overjoyed. He did not expect that this attack would be so smooth and all the threatening resistance forces were killed at one time.
"Let's go and reap our spoils."
Zhang Tuohai drove a multi-purpose armored vehicle into the sea.
The armored vehicle had two more propellers at the rear end, and it rushed towards the three warships at a high speed.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Tuohai also sent two armed helicopters to monitor the situation, ready to use Gatling guns if anyone dared to resist.
Not long after the armored vehicle entered the water, Xiao Ai suddenly said, "Commander, we have spotted a large underwater creature approaching."
"Hmm? There's something else? Pass it over."
Zhang Tuohai said immediately.
Xiao Ai immediately sent the image over.
Zhang Tuohai once thought that he had seen it wrong, because a crocodile-like creature with a body length of more than 20 meters appeared on the spherical screen.
"Mosaur?" Zhang Tuohai's face was full of astonishment. "Hasn't this thing turned into a fossil? How come it's still here?"
However, Zhang Tuohai didn't care about just one or two Mosasaurs.
As long as it is not a sudden close-range attack, Zhang Tuohai doesn't care. He will use missiles if it is far away, close-in defense guns if it is close, and lasers if it really doesn't work.
Da da da.
The 30mm close-in defense artillery shells swept towards the Mosasaur.
This ancient sea overlord was only a mortal after all, and could not withstand the metal storm of the close-in defense gun. Before it could even show its head, its head was smashed and blood all over it.
Zhang Tuohai immediately controlled the robotic arm to cut off some as test materials.
Regardless of whether you can use it or not, it’s always a good idea to collect some first.
The incident with the Mosasaur was just a small episode, but Zhang Tuohai was still worried.
There seems to be something wrong in this nearby area. First, I saw a creature that looked like Godzilla, then a gorilla that looked like King Kong, and now I saw a Mosasaur. It feels like I have returned to prehistoric times. Could it be that someone on the island or peninsula is conducting an experiment to revive prehistoric creatures?
Zhang Tuohai decided to take some time to check it out later. If this was really the case, he would definitely collect more cells to enrich the experimental materials.
However, the most important thing now is to capture these three ships.
Zhang Tuohai brought the armored vehicle closer to the three ships, then opened the hatch and released the self-propelled machinery out.
"Go, dismantle these three ships for me and see if you can find anything out of them!"
A large number of self-propelled machines poured out of the armored vehicles, climbed onto the ships, and began to dismantle them.
Some sailors on the ship wanted to resist, but they were killed by self-propelled machines and their bodies were thrown into the sea.
Soon, the three destroyers that were as big as hills were dismantled.
And a series of prompts popped up in front of Zhang Tuohai.
[You dismantled the Zumwalt destroyer and obtained the MK41 vertical launch system (reduced version), which has 48 launch units, and is equipped with the manufacturing drawings of the Standard 2 air defense missile and the Tomahawk cruise missile. ]
[Note: The mk41 vertical launch system is a ship equipment, and the reduced version is considered a universal accessory for level 7 vehicles. However, if you kill someone by force, you can ignore the level requirement and equip it directly, and it will take up two weapon slots.]
[You dismantled the Zumwalt destroyer and obtained a new waterproof coating (a universal accessory for level 5 vehicles).]
[You dismantled the Zumwalt destroyer and obtained a new type of anti-radar stealth coating (a universal accessory for level 5 vehicles).]
[You dismantled the Zumwalt destroyer and obtained the "Ship Stealth Instructions". After using it, the armored vehicle's appearance was fine-tuned to significantly reduce the radar reflection surface.]
[You dismantled the Burke-class guided missile destroyer and obtained Kevlar armor (a universal accessory for level 5 vehicles).]
(The Burke-class destroyers are equipped with Kevlar armor in key areas.)
[You dismantled the Burke-class guided missile destroyer and obtained the Link-16 data link system, the Slq-32a(v)3 electronic warfare system, the SRS-1 radio combat direction-finding system, the 3×AN/SPG-62 fire control illumination radar system, the Aegis combat system, and the integrated database, which can be used to upgrade the electronic warfare system.]
Looking at the dense information, Zhang Tuohai was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
This is a huge gain.
He originally wanted to try his luck and see if dismantling the ship would be effective, but he didn't expect that it actually worked and he got so many weapons.
What satisfied him most was the MK41 vertical launch system. Although it was a reduced version with only 48 cells, almost half of the 90 cells of the original version, it was still much stronger than what he had now.
You know, he now has a weapon position, and a complete Adaz missile launcher is a quad-mounted one.
The MK41 vertical launch system occupies two weapon positions with 48 cells, an average of 24 cells per launch position, which increases the launch density by six times. In addition, it also has more powerful Tomahawk cruise missiles and Standard 2 air defense missiles specifically for air defense.
This greatly enhances the combat capability of the armored vehicle.
Moreover, the combat radius of these two missiles is larger, especially the Tomahawk. His model is AGM-109L (attack sea/ground solid point targets), with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. Moreover, it also has a stealth coating, making it difficult for radar to detect. Combined with the Global Hawk UAV, its combat radius has been greatly expanded.
As for waterproof coatings, radar wave coatings, and Kevlar armor, they all enhance the strength of the vehicle body and armor.
When it comes to these life-saving accessories, Zhang Tuohai thinks the more the better. If he can get strong interaction force materials, that would be even better.
As for the last electronic warfare system, it can greatly enrich and upgrade Zhang Tuohai's electronic warfare system, allowing Zhang Tuohai's fire control, electronic warfare, and air defense and anti-missile systems to reach a new level.
It can be said that Zhang Tuohai has now accomplished what only a 6,000-ton Burke-class destroyer can do in the form of an armored vehicle.
Even better.
