The Nation's Flagship

In my view, the writing style of military industry + shipbuilding industry and military industry + aviation industry is quite different from other industrial articles. First of all, relying on the original accumulation of light industry during the reform and opening up is almost impossible to cope with subsequent investment.

I let the author's previous book die.

I came from Qi Cheng's book. He claimed to have read it all night, which caused his updates to be delayed. I thought it was at least a couple hundred thousand words long... 😆

Military industry books don't cover the technology! They're all just pretentious posturing and face-slapping scenes. Not a single person in the country gets anything done; they're all just sabotaging the protagonist and offering cynical remarks! I've had enough!

It's 34 meters long, 2.8 Meters wide, and 6.2 Meters high. Actually, I don't know much about ships, but these length-to-width and height-to-width ratios... Even common sense wouldn't tell the difference.

The synopsis claims the protagonist alone can accelerate the development of the shipbuilding industry, but shipbuilding is incredibly complex—specialized steel, paint, engines, various materials, navigation systems, and much more. This is clearly a pure wish-fulfillment fantasy novel for beginners.

Designing a boat is really that simple? No computer-generated drawings, just hand-drawn sketches, and you can produce design drawings in just a few days? No need for hull and fluid dynamics testing? This boat design is supposed to be a bestseller, but without concrete verification, how can you expect clients to trust you? You only know this design is good, but why? What are the underlying principles? These all require extensive experimental data; you can't fool people with empty promises.

I have never read your work, but I have heard of your passing. May you rest in peace.

First, the Su-24 of that era didn't have such sophisticated jammers. Jammers were a high-tech technology developed by the Americans; the Soviets' technology at the time meant that jammers could even interfere with the aircraft's own systems. Second, shipborne missiles were mostly semi-active radar-guided, even the incredibly advanced Aegis system of the US.

There are reasons why military fiction is so difficult to write: state-owned enterprises are slow-paced and lack exciting moments; private companies simply can't produce military-related content, and even a little bit of wishful thinking would cross the line. How are authors supposed to write like that? What are readers supposed to think?
