Chapter 294 Weapon Preparation, Changes in Hope Village
In modern warfare, ships as small as destroyers and frigates, as large as cruisers and aircraft carriers will not choose to carry short-range ballistic missiles, but anti-ship missiles.
The reason for choosing anti-ship missiles is simple.
The battleship disappeared!
What is the emblem of a battleship? Big ships, big guns and heavy armor!
Judging from the power of the mainstream anti-ship missiles currently in service, more than 90% of the models can only be said to be inferior to the battleships of the ancient World War II era.
If the battleships were still there, perhaps Maozi's Kirov-class idea of equipping ballistic missiles could still be carried forward, but if it disappeared, it would naturally become empty talk.
So the battleship has such a great advantage. If it does not disappear, what if it is equipped with missiles?
The reason why this idea does not hold is also very simple.
In modern times, due to the large number of precision original parts and complex technology of weapons, the cost per unit volume is far from what it was during World War II.
In the same way, warships with larger displacement are more expensive to build.
Based on the fact that a battleship is about the same size as an aircraft carrier, if a modern battleship is built with the same displacement as an aircraft carrier, the larger size will require a more powerful radar and more precision instruments.
The cost of its hull itself is not necessarily cheaper than that of an aircraft carrier. In addition, its large number and variety of missiles are enough to compete with the overall cost of an aircraft carrier.
In addition, because ships sail on the sea, affected by the curvature of the earth, the ability of shipborne radar to detect surface ships is actually relatively weak.
Without the cooperation of air and air, you have to get close enough to attack each other with missiles!
Even a few gangsters would not have the funds and courage to drive such an expensive battleship over and engage in missile attacks at close range.
So, as battleships withdraw from the battlefield and the "skin" of various types of ships becomes thinner and thinner, it becomes meaningless to choose large-yield missiles, even heavy anti-ship missiles. Just 500 kilograms.
Moreover, in modern warfare, ballistic missiles have a better vehicle for them, nuclear submarines, which are convenient and stable.
On the other hand, the launch environment for ballistic missiles is very poor.
If a hot start is adopted and the missile is launched directly from the deck, then it is likely that the entire ship's electronic equipment will be exposed to the missile's tail flame.
If cold launch is adopted, the missile must be ejected to a very high position before ignition, and the swing of the ship platform will seriously affect the ejection accuracy, ultimately greatly weakening the missile's accuracy.
This leads to the inevitable result of the development of technological weapons.
But if the situation is replaced on the ocean of wasteland, when considering this problem, it is necessary to fully integrate the actual situation.
Short-range ballistic missiles, also known as tactical missiles.
Generally used in ground-to-ground battles, they carry conventional warheads and are mainly used to attack fixed and moving targets outside the range of ground artillery and within the enemy's tactical depth.
The R-3 short-range ballistic missile is 7.1 meters long, 0.82 meters in diameter, has a launch weight of 3050 kilograms, uses solid propellant, has a range of 320 kilometers, and a speed of 960m/s. The missile is equipped with a digital calculator and an autonomous inertial control system, and has air at the tail. Power rudder.
Thanks to advanced technology, without considering magic modification, the effective explosion range is 165 meters, and the limit explosion is 310 meters.
Compared with tactical missiles with the same data on earth, R-3 is undoubtedly smaller, faster and more powerful.
It's a pity.
This data is still far behind what Sumo wants!
"Everyone on the ocean is moving anytime and anywhere. It is very likely that before my missile was launched, the enemy was still within range. After launch, the enemy had already left there before it arrived."
"If According to the fact that the enemy is 250 kilometers away, I choose to take action. The time for the missile to arrive is..."
"Four and a half minutes!"
"Based on the fact that everyone is a wooden ship, it is not considered. With the wind and the wind blowing, the opponent will be at least 400 meters away after four and a half minutes, which is seriously beyond the explosion range of the missile."
After some calculations, looking at the range of the R-3 missile and the assessment of the estimated distance, Sumo After filling in the equations and calculating, I gradually came up with an idea.
It seems that the conventional warhead that comes standard with the missile is no longer possible. The explosion range is too small. Even with the bonus of the launch chamber, it is not that big.
It is very likely that as soon as it is sent out, it will be heard and a fireworks display will be set off.
Therefore, while arranging the explosives and looking at the explosive packs in the base, Sumo's heart sank, and he directly decided on another technology tree to be promoted in the shelter in the remaining ten days.
TnT!
And this TnT is not trinitrotoluene in the conventional sense, but a super explosive that combines psionic water and enhanced nitric acid!
"According to the power of yellow explosives after adding psionic water, under the same weight, if I can replace all the explosives in the missile with higher quality TnT, the power will be even more terrifying"
"Theoretically, a The explosion of a kilogram of TNT can produce 4.2 million joules of energy."
"Including the 100%-300% increase of the psionic water, the 50% increase of the strengthened nitric acid, and the 5%-30% increase of the module, one kilogram of TnT It will reach 18 million joules of energy."
"Taking into account the expansion efficiency of the explosive and the impact force of the collision, this value may be higher, and the equivalent explosive range is substituted into the calculation"
etc. Efficient calculation is not difficult.
After some calculations, it was found that TnT with this kind of characteristics can actually directly increase the effective killing range from 300 meters to 1.4 kilometers or even higher under the same equivalent weight
Suma's Heart No More Unable to calm down, he started beating like a drum.
1.4 kilometers of explosion range. Good guy, what is the concept?
Legend has it that the M388 nuclear artillery shell, whose damage range is greater than its firing range, has a true killing range of only 500 meters.
As for the normally installed missiles, there are only a handful of missiles that can exceed one kilometer without considering nuclear and hydrogen.
But now, all we need to do is add magical psionic energy, and that's it.
The power of the bomb will produce a qualitative change.
"No, the psionic water must not be sold casually in the future, otherwise it will be taken away by someone with intentions."
"I'm afraid it will breed unimaginable disasters!"
The psionic water that has not been upgraded before will produce such a terrifying effect after being added to conventional weapons. As for the effect of the upgrade now, Sumo couldn't help but shudder.
In the case where equal is right, just join the upgraded TnT at all costs.
Even the Dongfeng 17 launched in front of the Kobold Castle is probably not as good as this special version of the super missile. Shaking his head, throwing away these thoughts that only a warmonger would have, Sumo turned a new page and began to study how to make it.
Sumo didn’t know the specific reason, but now that he had decided to trade with the official, Sumo was not worried about the twists and turns and went directly to the machine tool. He took out the bionic robot that was used to make nitrocellulose.
After several uses and entering the ruins, all the machine gun ammunition in the shelter has been exhausted.
There are 1,500 rounds of rifle ammunition left and 400 rounds of pistol ammunition left.
Considering the upcoming transaction with the Tundra Refuge and going to sea, there will be no extra time to make ammunition for a long time before arriving in the New World.
In terms of quantity, Sumo directly designated a huge number with a wave of his hand.
Fifty machine guns, 800,000 rounds of ammunition!
Two hundred rifles, 500,000 rounds of ammunition!
One hundred pistols, 30,000 rounds of ammunition!
The total number of bullets is 1.33 million rounds and the total weight is 14.1 tons. For a destroyer with a carrying capacity of thousands of tons, it is drizzle!
As for the raw materials used to make these ammunition
With a plan in place, Somo also quickly made arrangements for the rest of today.
The teaching bionic robot began to produce nitrocellulose in batches, and finally converted it into ammunition and stored it.
Instruct the collection team of Hope Village to go to the saltpeter camp and mine natural saltpeter mines in large quantities.
Continue to learn about the game functions that the aliens can use and explore the current trends of the aliens through the lioness Connie's panel.
Three tasks, just enough to fill up a working day.
Carefully put the notebook containing the crazy plan into the storage space, cleared the debris on the workbench, and Sumo began to teach again.
For the first time, after turning on the AI learning function, Soma did it and learned the robot.
The second time around, the robot slowly followed the steps, with Soma sitting next to him and guiding him.
By the third and fourth time, even without Soma's help, Cyborg has completely mastered this simple chemical reaction, and in terms of quantity and ratio, it is even better than Soma. Accurate.
Of course, just like the bionic robot in the shipyard, it prepares nitric acid from saltpeter ore, then takes the raw materials to make suitable nitrocellulose, and sets it aside to dry. This process, the speed of the robot Still touching.
But with the previous surprise, Sumo was not impatient. After ensuring that the robot was working normally, he strode away from the base and headed for Iron Stone Mountain.
“It feels good to have someone under my control. Before, I had to do it myself when mining saltpeter mines!”
After walking out of the underground shelter, the closer he got to Iron Stone Mountain, the more Sumo could feel the impact the activities of the villagers of Hope Village had on nature and his own life.
Currently, the land within 300 meters on both sides of the stone mountain has been plowed by rotary tillers and planted with garlic seedlings with a short growth cycle.
According to the growth speed and light efficiency of garlic seedlings in the waste soil, it is completely possible to harvest another wave before the arrival of the ocean.
Going forward, the shape of Tieshi Mountain is also being excavated, and it gradually no longer looks like the one created by Somo.
Under the fifteen-meter range that is submerged by sea water for a long time, there is not much change.
But after this height, the crystallization of human wisdom comes!
On the gentle slope of 18 meters, a small platform is dug in every two meters or so.
The platform is a slightly concave terrain that can fully receive the sunlight from the sky.
You only need to wait until the sea comes, take out the seawater and put it into these platforms. Under the heat wave of the sun, you can get the most important material to sustain human life.
Salt!
The salt from the treasure chest will eventually be eaten up one day, once the number of mutated creatures decreases, or the explosion rate of alien treasure chests decreases.
Salt will replace all other basic materials and become a necessary strategic material for all mankind.
No iron, no copper, less wood, less stone. At most, the development of the shelter will slow down.
But without salt, the kind of torture that slowly develops from hypotension to edema, reduced muscle tone, reduced nerve excitability, cerebral edema, and finally urinary retention and death will definitely make people crazy!
“Not bad, this guy Chen Shen really lived up to my expectations”
"When we go to the New World, we can first arrange the base on the seaside, boil salt and catch aquatic animals at the same time, and develop slowly."
By analogy, when thinking that salt might become one of the currencies in the future, Su Mo also couldn't help but feel slightly excited.
With destroyers, occupying a stretch of coastline to build a dock is not a problem at all.
Using the influence of ships and relying on the seaside to take root in the underground shelter, in the future it will have land power, air control, and sea power as well.
With such a rich front line, even cunning enemies will find it extremely difficult!
After walking through the salt drying field built with four or five platforms, the altitude has climbed to 25 meters, and there are only about 15 meters left from the top of the mountain.
By now, the terrain has become completely flat, and there are several caves that have been transformed into storage rooms for different purposes.
However, before Sumo could take a closer look, when he walked around a corner, Chen Shen's figure appeared at the end.
“Hey, Brother Su, you’re here, and I said I’m going to find you now!”
“It’s so strange. Yesterday, the more than ten management leaders of Zeus Sanctuary, They are still very stubborn, shouting about human rights, that we cannot interfere at will when national borders are different, and that we have no right to deprive their freedom across borders!”
"But as soon as I got up this morning, all these people, without exception, cried bitterly and brought out many good treasures!"
Although his face was full of doubts, But after talking about the good treasure, Chen Shen's eyes suddenly lit up!
It’s the last day of the Book Friends Circle event. As long as you post a fan post with the keyword “refuge”, you will be rewarded with at least 500 points, which is a free gift, brothers!
