From black technology to super engineering - #597 - Chapter 595 Forms of Space Warfare

These two spacecraft are about the same size as human fighters, but they are very different in shape.

They have no wings, and there are four engine and weapon modules in the upper, lower, left, and right sides, and the central part assumes the functions of the main engine and energy module.

Following bursts of rapid electromagnetic wave signals, the distance between the other party and the human detector also rapidly approached, until the data stream on the side showed a distance of 300 kilometers.

And then… there is no more.

The picture is frozen in an instant.

In the conference room, everyone looked at each other and at General Qin at the same time.

“This is the process of our detector meeting the executor. When the distance from the other party is 50 million kilometers, our detector has been sending out various inquiry signals, but the other party has ignored it, or the other party They are not willing to decipher – they only sent out two electromagnetic waves of unknown meaning, and then sent these two space vehicles – of course, we can understand it as space fighters.”

“According to the data returned by the probe, the opponent’s space fighter can reach a maximum speed of Mach 3,000—almost three thousandths of the speed of light.”

“Here is the attack screen sent back by the signal collector released by our detector in advance.”

After General Qin’s voice fell, the holographic projection simulated another scene.

In the picture centered on the ten-meter-high detector, the detector was torn to pieces by a flash of light, and within a few seconds, two bright lights pierced the void until the signal collector’s The screen disappears.

“Let’s look at this again. This is a picture based on the combination of the previous detector radar and the super optical telescope.”

In the picture, more than 30 spaceships are scattered in the vast night sky, and one of the motherships is as big as four second-largest warships.

According to surveying and mapping, the size of this mothership is about 500 meters long, 200 meters wide and 200 meters high.

In terms of volume alone, it is three times the strongest space carrier of mankind so far.

And the six warships with the second largest volume are not much smaller than the size of the human space carrier. Those “main battleships” with a length of 100 meters that human beings are proud of, in front of these main battleships, seem like The difference between a battleship and a destroyer.

In addition to the six large warships, the Executor Fleet also has more than ten warships of different sizes, and more small warships—the smallest warships are all the size of “Eagle” class warships!

There are a total of thirty-six warships, large and small, sailing silently in the vast and boundless universe.

If… the standard of combat power is determined by tonnage… then, the total tonnage of the most powerful and organized Auriga fleet of mankind is only a fraction of the opponent’s tonnage!

The meeting room was quiet, and everyone was in shock.

But General Qin obviously didn’t intend to let everyone stop here.

“Here is the scene of the main battleship confrontation that Professor Ye sent from the galaxy of the Tara people – a day ago, the Tara people and the Kerong people launched a large-scale battle involving a total of more than 60 warships of various types. massive space battle.”

As General Qin released the screen again, everyone’s heartbeat also accelerated.

In the picture, the battleships that are less than ten kilometers apart and even visible to the naked eye keep raising their shields and fighting back. Countless particle beams cut through the sky and fly past the sides of the battleship from time to time.

While the video was playing, General Qin’s voice also sounded.

“In the past, we have never had an accurate understanding of space combat methods, and we have always believed that beyond visual range combat is the mainstream.”

“After all, even the old-fashioned laser main gun technology we use can be shot down at sight.”

“However, from the actual combat between the Kerong people and the Tara people, we can see that, under the condition that both sides have similar technological levels, even if both sides have main guns that can destroy the opponent’s warship in an instant, it is very difficult to really destroy the opponent. Make it harder.”

“One second is 300,000 kilometers—but don’t forget, warships are also moving at high speeds. Generally speaking, the speed of warships is about 80 kilometers per second when cruising.”

“Do you know what this means? It means that no matter how accurate your aim is, as long as there is an error of 0.001 second, you only need to fire from 300,000 kilometers away, and your light-speed particle cannon will land on the predetermined position of the opponent’s warship. There will also be an error of 80 meters!”

“We all know how difficult it is to ensure a time accuracy of 1 millisecond or even a fraction of a millisecond in a complex system…”

“That’s why we saw that in a melee of this scale, both the Kerong people and the Tara people seldom fired the main guns, but switched to the side guns to attack.”

“Because facing the enemy from the side, it can ensure that the spaceship has a very high maneuvering speed, so as to avoid the opponent’s blow.”

“Most of the main guns are at the bow of the ship because of the same design as ours. Once fired, it means facing the enemy head-on-we know that it is difficult for a warship flying at high speed to turn around. This is why we saw before The vaporized battleships that arrived were vaporized from the bow, not the hull.”

Following General Qin’s explanation, the battle between the two sides was still going on boringly.

Obviously, both sides of the battle are making ineffective attacks outside the “beyond visual range”.

At this time, someone cursed in a low voice: “This fight is too ineffective, isn’t it? Is space age war going to involve the queuing and shooting of the seventeenth century?”

“The farther the distance, the lower the accuracy. This is inevitable—except for missiles.” General Qin glanced at the complaining colleague: “But don’t forget the picture at the beginning.”

Everyone looked at General Qin in unison, and some of them had already realized it.

Today’s meeting is not to show everyone how huge the enemy’s fleet is and how powerful the enemy is.

Instead, I want to show everyone how space warfare is fought.

Since beyond visual range—even if it is 300,000 kilometers away from one light second—it is difficult to guarantee accuracy when facing high-speed targets, then fighting at close range is an inevitable choice.

And the Fleet of the Executors, the scene offers humanity a solution.

That is the space fighter.

…

Brain Center.

Ye Ming strode out of the office. When he reached the lobby, he joined Zhou Xiangnan’s team who had left in a hurry, and then walked into the elevator together.

After going up to the top floor, the six of them went directly to the “Ita” which had been waiting for a long time.

The Ita engine started, the anti-gravity module started, and then the attitude engine started… After a while, the Ita slowly took off, then started the main engine, and began to accelerate continuously, heading towards the far northwest of the motherland.

This time, they are going to the two-dimensional engineering base that is in full swing in the Northwest, and completely ignite the fire of the human two-dimensional energy revolution.

The reason is simple, high-density energy is the foundation of everything.
