Chapter 13 Targeted

In the transformation of Kimek 2.0, in addition to improving the defense capability of the battleship, on the other hand, it is starting from strengthening the attack power. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This transformation is actually not new to Fengyu, he encountered it in the second battle of the AN Barrier, that is, the Yang Electron Cannon.

Prior to the battle, the Awa-Ker Council had discussed the issue of the Male Cannon and believed that sooner or later it would appear on the battlefield in large numbers. It's not because of technical problems, but when some organizations or countries can't win through normal fighting, they will inevitably go the wrong way.

As an internationally banned weapon of mass destruction, the electron cannon will not be touched by governments and the military in normal times. But for a GMP fleet like the Kimek Convoy, which is already suspected of being anti-human, one more charge of using weapons of mass destruction is just a matter of lice and lice. So all the main guns of the battleships of the Kimek escort were replaced with positive electronic guns.

Why did you choose this weapon?

For the opponents of the Kimek Escort, it is impossible for the battleship's main gun to hit a high-end mobile suit with ultra-high mobility capabilities, even if it is a general mass-produced aircraft. But for the "Tempest", the yang electron cannon was very deadly.

As mentioned earlier, when the positron of the positive electron cannon hits the battleship's R particle shield, it will have an annihilation effect with the negative charge carried by the R particle itself. The annihilation of the positive and negative charges disappears, and each pair produces two gamma photons. And when all the positrons of a positive electron cannon are annihilated by the R particles, it is like being hit by a nuclear bomb, and the gamma rays released in an instant are quite amazing, enough to kill everyone in the battleship that looks unscathed on the surface inside the shield.

During the Second Battle of the AN Barrier Zone, in order to avoid a large number of casualties caused by the Yang Electron Cannon of the NO Fleet, Feng Yu thought of using plasma mines to crack it.

It was only that it was a large-scale fleet battle at that time, and the "Storm Blue" side had the cooperation of minelayers and auxiliary ships, so that these preparations could be made in a defensive posture. However, today's expedition to the M320 star field of the New American Galaxy "Tempest" is a lonely hero, and it is impossible to carry space-intensive space mines in the limited storage capacity.

The "Tempest" is not afraid of the 2000mm electromagnetic railgun attack of the L4 base, and can avoid it again and again. And with the opening of the R particle generator, it gradually disappeared from the field of view of the optical sensor, and was no longer threatened by the giant cannon. However, the Pyrotron Cannon is the nemesis of the "Tempest" in the state of optical invisibility, and if the Kimek Escort conducts an Pyrotron Cannon covered artillery bombardment, the battleship can be turned into a ghost ship in one round.

Why?

Although the Kimek Escort could not accurately determine the exact location of the "Tempest" in the shadow zone of the R particles, when the positive electron cannon covered the fire, the huge amount of positrons and R particles had an annihilation effect, and the gamma rays released would turn the entire shadow area into a severely affected area with extremely high radiation levels.

The overall material of the battleships of the entire era was made of titanium alloy, a light metal that was very strong and was called space metal. However, because of the small specific gravity and low density, the anti-nuclear ability of titanium alloy is very weak, far inferior to the anti-nuclear underground bunker covered with lead plates. Once it is in the killing range of nuclear radiation, it will be the end of all personnel.

Some people may ask, in this era when science and technology are so advanced, why don't warships do some basic anti-nuclear measures.

To understand this problem, we must first understand the use of space warfare weapons in this era, and the price that warships need to pay if they want to protect themselves from radiation.

The first is space warfare weapons. No matter what kind of warship or mobile suit of any country, there is no such thing as a nuclear bomb in the list of weapons it carries. Nuclear bombs are indeed the first of the weapons of mass destruction, and the inclusion of them in the ban treaty is only one reason, and more importantly, the launch of nuclear bombs needs to be carried by missiles.

Missiles are actually rockets, which rely on the reaction force generated by fuel combustion jets to achieve propulsion, and are backward products of the earth era, and their flight speed is as slow as a snail in space in the current era. With the repeated acceleration of mobile suits, the rockets carried on the shoulders of the UAC federal army MS have completely withdrawn from the stage of history, not to mention that the volume of a nuclear bomb with a thousand-ton T-N-T yield is larger than that of a rocket, and it is not a weapon that mobile suits can carry at all, and can only be launched from warships.

Just imagine, with the slow-flying ability of a missile, if a warship dares to launch a nuclear bomb in space warfare, as long as it is discovered by the enemy, the battleship's main gun will bombard it, or the mobile suit will shoot it and detonate it directly around you. Is this killing or suicide?

So from the beginning, nuclear bombs were not included in the list of weapons for space warfare, but were more like bombs specifically used against fortresses or space cities.

Let's talk about the price that battleships need to pay for radiation protection. It is a consensus that lightweight metals have poor anti-nuclear capabilities, and the mainstream anti-nuclear materials are lead plates. Materials with a density smaller than lead do not have a good effect on radiation protection, and materials larger than lead simply become radioactive themselves.

Lead per unit volume weighs 2.5 times more than titanium, while the titanium alloy used in battleship armor plates is much less dense, only one-third of that of lead plates. Lead, on the other hand, is soft and is not suitable for making armor plates except for radiation protection. In other words, if a battleship wants to have radiation protection capabilities, it must add lead plates to the inner layer on the basis of retaining the original armor plates.

In this way, the size of the battleship will become larger, the weight will be greatly increased, and the maneuverability will be reduced. In other words, in order to prevent a nuclear bomb attack that is known to be unlikely, the performance of the battleship does not increase but falls, the target is larger, it is more likely to be hit by enemy fire, and the survival rate on the battlefield decreases.

These are by no means purely theoretical things, but lessons of blood and tears. In the not long history of space warfare of mankind, the design of space warships of the original earth countries continued the idea of the earth age, believing that nuclear defense is an indispensable and important parameter, and the warships built are both bulky and huge, and are called space battleships.

Later, in SC0041, the New American Galaxy issued the Declaration of Independence, and the countries of the earth sent troops in the name of the United Nations peacekeeping force to "clean up the rebellion". At that time, the new American republic had just been established, and it was not yet capable of building large-tonnage space battleships, so it went the opposite way and made every effort to build space destroyers that were known for their lightness and speed.

The destroyer eliminated the radiation-proof lead plate, and the excess space in the hull was removed as much as possible, leaving only a length of 200 meters and a maximum diameter of about 40 meters. Although the space for the movement of the ship's personnel has become very limited, and the daily life on the ship will be more depressing, it is not easy to be hit by long-range artillery fire because of its small size.

In that war, the light destroyers of New America defeated the heavy battleships from Earth, and the world realized that maneuverability is the eternal tone of space warfare. At the same time, on the premise of having the same combat effectiveness, the size of the battleship is also as small as possible. Since then, heavy battleships have been withdrawn directly from the space arena, and destroyers have become the absolute mainstream. And even if there is a capital ship that increases the firepower of the main gun and the ability to carry mobile suits, it will not blindly pursue large tonnage.

At the same time, in that war, the tactical nuclear missiles carried by the fleets of the various countries of the earth also became a big joke, and their pitifully slow flight speed was useless in the space battlefield. On the contrary, it has been repeatedly directly blasted and accidentally damaged its own warships, which has become a recognized "masochistic" weapon.

The end result is that the destroyers of the New America, which do not have nuclear defense capabilities, are not threatened by nuclear weapons at all, while the Earth battleships that are capable of nuclear defense have repeatedly suffered accidental damage from their own nuclear attacks.

There is such a period of time, who else would not want to give the battleship anti-radiation treatment, and it is very thoughtful to be able to prepare a few sets of emergency anti-radiation suits in the battleship.

Of course, this is a design idea based on previous conditions. Once the positive electron cannon becomes the mainstream weapon of space warfare, various countries will inevitably equip their warships with radiation-proof lead plates.

But at least at this stage, none of the active warships, including the "Tempest", have been treated with radiation protection, so the positive electron cannon of the Kimek escort is fatal to this stealth-loving battleship. They didn't need to pinpoint the location of the Storm at all, they just had to shoot at the shadowed area and let the gamma rays from the annihilation effect attack the area indiscriminately. There is no need to sink this battleship, as long as the crew inside is killed, and the effect is the same.

It is clear that the "Tempest" is being targeted!

This is the result of the research results of the "Storm" Tactical Counter-Warfare Research Laboratory, which obviously grasps the weak underbelly of the "Tempest." And the results of this combat research room are not only here, there are other targeted tactics in the "Kimek 2.0 White Paper", and then Fengyu will experience them one by one.
