"Is this possible? I'm afraid the void shield relies on air strikes."
Sergeant Avic himself, who was performing this kind of mission for the first time, was also murmuring, but he stuck to his duty and ensured that the laser irradiator continued to work. .
Then he caught the sound of flying across the sky, so he looked up and immediately saw twelve black spots that looked like small aircraft approaching the stronghold. Their speed was a bit slow at least in his eyes.
However, it was precisely at this relatively slow speed that the moment they came into contact with the void shield, they only caused a ripple. Then two of them disappeared in the flash of the void shield, and the remaining ten were directed towards Go to the target.
Ten seconds later, several mini-mushroom clouds shyly poked their heads out from behind the stronghold's protective wall. The explosive heat energy burst out and instantly annihilated the target. The gravel and rubble rising into the sky even hit Ai. Behind the hillside where Vick's team was, the sergeant was also stunned——
"It's actually done?"
At this time, the interior of the fortress was in ruins, but this was not the end. Amidst the screams of the engines, 6 missiles fired by three Thunderhawks drew arcs. The line rushed towards the last remaining remains of the fortress.
Small points of light burst out, like the feathers of light that a holy angel unintentionally sheds on the world. The whole world was instantly baptized by the flames of truth and kindness. The chain reaction of bomb ejection caused by the explosion happened in the blink of an eye. The entire fortress was destroyed, and the shock wave tore apart the protective walls that were farther away. The strong wind picked up the attachments on the ground and roared towards Avic, forcing him to turn around to protect the equipment in his arms until the storm faded. Into a shower of ashes and embers.
"Wow, sergeant, this"
Soon, the surrounding recruits also gathered around, curiously looking at the ruins in the distance. It was hard to imagine that there was a fortress standing there before.
Avic wiped the dust off the eyepiece with his hand and looked back at the ruins.
“First use low-speed laser-guided gliding bombs to break through the void shield defense and blow up key facilities, and then use high-power cluster missiles to attack unprotected facilities and personnel. Even if the enemy still has survivors, the meaning of this stronghold is meaningless. It exists again, and all it takes is a few recruits and three Thunder Eagles, so that a fortress with a void shield can be destroyed."
A recruit looked at it for a while and whispered:< br>
"Then our value becomes a laser launcher? The glory of the Astartes should be in the chain saw and the explosive bomb."
Avic immediately corrected the other party .
"We are soldiers first. What soldiers want to think about is how to complete the mission and how to win. Remember this."
As he spoke, he patted the equipment with his hand.
"And do you think the enemy will let us unsuspectingly use equipment to illuminate them? In actual combat, it will not be that simple. To be able to say such innocent things means that your training is not over yet. Okay, stop talking nonsense and quickly go to the next mission."
In the observation post at the rear of the remote exercise base, Soshyan was watching with interest the images of reports coming from all directions. "In just ten minutes, all nine of the enemy's strongholds were destroyed. If we follow traditional tactics, whether it is a frontal attack, a penetration breakthrough, or forcibly overloading the void shield with firepower, it will take longer and require more effort than this. It costs a lot, and we have to ensure that there are no powerful enemies such as Chaos Space Marines inside to resist, and there may be casualties.”
Soshiyang turned his head to Bangura aside and said with a smile:
"Sage Bangura, this 'Thunder' gliding melt bomb is a great design. It sets the ultimate speed on the void shield. At the rejection threshold, it ensures the penetration rate without being too slow."
Bangura also responded with a smile:
"They are also the commanders of the Troops. Otherwise, we would not have thought of such a design, let alone such accurate critical value data of the void shield.”
Because it involves Soshiyang’s more sensitive identity, Bangura said it very euphemistically, in fact. The design of this glide bomb comes from a weapon called the Ghost Missile in Ada's arsenal. It is usually used by Phoenix fighters or Vampire fighters. It has an incredible propulsion device and can accurately adjust its speed just by adjusting its own wraith wings. , it can take advantage of the fact that the void shield is not easy to defend against low-speed targets. When approaching an enemy defended by the void shield, it suddenly reduces its speed to the critical value of the void shield. It can use the void shield to make it difficult to block low-speed targets to specifically break the shield. After completing the breakthrough, it can It suddenly reaches top speed within a tenth of a second, making its speed and trajectory as strange and unpredictable as a ghost, hence the name ghost missile, which is very contrary to common sense in physics.
It is naturally difficult for humans to simulate such missiles that rely on spiritual bones and ancient Ada technology to achieve magical effects, but this idea of first maneuvering at high speed and then penetrating at low speed inspired Soshiyang, so he asked for it a long time ago. Bangura proposed the idea of developing a low-speed penetration weapon.
So there is this thunder glide bomb. This bomb is similar to a missile. The structure is quite simple. There is a guidance head in the streamlined top cover. After the guidance device senses the laser reflected from the target, it The unfolded flying wings control the projectile to go straight to the target at a low speed along the reflected laser.
Of course, there are definitely disadvantages to maintaining a low speed. For example, it is easy to be intercepted by lasers or interfered by enemy equipment. Then the best way is to launch again at a position closer to the enemy. The risk is very high on the ground. Large, so we chose to launch it in the sky. In order to resist enemy interference, traditional auspicious guidance would definitely not work, and the wet parts were not very safe, so the safest way was laser guidance.
As for the enemy's interception firepower, the simplest way is to pile up the number and use saturated numbers to overwhelm the enemy's interception firepower. This requires that such bombs should not be too complex and can be manufactured in large quantities at low cost.
The gliding bomb fits this requirement very well.
As for the Void Shield critical value data, Soshyan also obtained this from the Bonesinger. Originally, he thought that this would only have a little reference value for humans. After all, humans have been playing Void Shield for so many years.
What surprised him was that the Adeptus Mechanicus' understanding of the principles of the void shield seemed to remain at a relatively basic level.
He doesn’t understand why this is. Anyway, everyone knows how to create it. He can only guess that many of the too detailed data require the sages to figure it out by themselves over many years, and it would be very difficult to figure it out. The probabilities will not be shared. In the final analysis, it is still a problem of the closed nature within the Mechanicus and the proliferation of sects.
There is no solution to this thing, so Soshiyang can only sigh.
The void shield critical value data is very important for this equipment, because it determines the speed at which the bomb should penetrate the enemy's shield, while ensuring the penetration rate without The speed is too slow, but this data is not a single value. In fact, there will be corresponding differences due to the scale, coverage area, and generator models of the void shield. This not only requires a lot of statistics, but also a Ada has a very in-depth study of human void shields through a series of complex formula calculations. They even have a specialized calculation method that can quickly calculate the critical values of various types of void shields in the empire.
