Chapter 109: The Unsolvable "Storm"
In full view of everyone, the shadow area of the "Tempest" flew all the way to the minefield passage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the stealth warship moved forward, the part of the space mine that was originally suspended in this airspace closest to the passage disappeared from the front one by one, and then reappeared from the back one by one, just like the process of a solar eclipse.
At such times, even without an energy sensor, it is possible to deduce the approximate location of the "Tempest" by visual observation alone, and the error will not exceed 10 kilometers. Perhaps the probability of a single ship shelling trying to hit the target is extremely low, but gathering several warships for distributed fire has every chance of hitting the "Tempest"
Moreover, before entering the minefield, Luo Yunxi had actually turned off the R-particle shield of the "Tempest" and began to warm up the engine, so that he could enter the curvature as soon as possible after leaving the minefield, away from this place of right and wrong. In this case, without the protection of the R-particle shield, it is possible to be directly sunk by just one shot.
Therefore, if the captains of the Kimek convoy are brave enough to try to fire the main guns in the middle of the shadow zone, they still have a certain chance of hitting the "Tempest".
Military researchers have studied the relationship between warship navigation and R particle distribution in the state of optical invisibility. Studies have shown that if both the battleship and the R particles can be made visible, the observer will see a comet-like picture. The battleship is in a middle-forward position, with a high concentration of R-particles covering its perimeter and pulling a long R-particle trail in the rear as it sails at high speed.
In other words, an experienced captain can infer the specific location of the battleship based on the diameter covered by the shadow area of the battleship, as well as the position of the front end of the shadow area in the direction of the battleship.
Of course, there aren't many captains who can do this. How to deal with stealth warships is a new tactical discipline, and at present, the warship command departments of various military academies have basically added this course. Only when this group of trainees takes up the post of captain will the technology of dealing with stealth warships become practical.
Speaking of which, this is also due to the "Tempest" piloted by Luo Yunxi, this destroyer has played stealth tactics too slippery, and has repeatedly launched unwitting military operations in major galaxies. And in every battle that shocked the world in the "Storm", this stealth battleship played a very key role.
Stealth tactics have become a relatively inexplicable special tactic in the current period, so that the militaries of various countries have to seriously consider that this tactic may become normal in future wars, and then it needs to have corresponding countermeasures.
After several years of research, military scientists finally confirmed that the shape of the shadow zone resembled a comet, and began mathematical modeling, trying to reverse the exact position of the battleship through the shape of the shadow zone. With the current situation of this discipline, which has just started, the positioning accuracy of warships is about 1 kilometer in diameter.
Within a unit of 1 square kilometer of cross-section, 125 destroyers can be lined up next to each other. This means that the hit rate of a single ship's artillery strike is less than 1 in 125, and the hit rate of the fleet's artillery bombardment is less than half. In other words, it was possible to hit the "Storm" only if a full fleet of 50 warships shelled the "Stormwind" after two or three rounds of shelling.
If the shield of the R particles is opened, such an artillery attack will not pose a threat to the "Tempest", and the rate of loss of the energy strength of the shield is not as fast as the replenishment speed.
And this statistic is based on the hit rate that only happens when attacking from the side. If the stealth ship is facing the fleet at the bow or stern, then the hit rate of a single ship will drop to 1 in 625, which is basically the probability of buying a lottery ticket.
War is not a gamble, and it is impossible to pin the hope of victory on such a small probability event, even if there is no certainty of victory, there must be a chance to win. Those who seek victory in the midst of danger at every turn, make a desperate attack at every turn, and make earth-shattering reversals at every turn are by no means normal phenomena, nor are they the actions of truly good commanders.
The ancients said that "a good fighter has no great feats", which means that a truly good commander needs to calculate the chance of victory before the battle, rather than not until the end of the battle to make all kinds of thrills, and finally barely win the heart-pounding.
From this point of view, Feng Yu did not dare to say that he was an excellent commander. He is accustomed to fighting alone, and can only be considered a good pilot, and the best. In terms of command, it is more lackluster. Of course, he didn't intend to be a commander.
Having said that, in the current period, the "Storm" in the stealth state is insolvable, the battleship's main gun misses, and the mobile suit does not dare to approach, unless Fengyu himself is on it.
Today is the day when the "Tempest" is most likely to be hit by artillery fire, and in the narrow minefield passage during the voyage, the battleship has basically been limited to the area of activity, and as long as it deviates slightly from the course, it will trigger a space mine. As long as the battleships of the Kimek convoy dared to open fire and fire at the center line of the channel, the hit rate was not low.
After today, if we want to attack the "Tempest" in an optically invisible state with a warship on the scale of a formation, we need to continue to make progress in this discipline called "stealth warship countermeasures" until the positioning accuracy can be less than 300 meters in diameter, so that the flank hit rate of a single ship's artillery bombardment is higher than one-tenth. And in this diameter range, a salvo of a full first-line fleet can also hit the "Tempest" head-on.
From 1 km to 300 meters, this is not an easy task. The dispersion shape of R particles is affected by the speed of the battleship, the gravitational attraction of nearby celestial bodies, and the overall concentration of R particles on the battlefield, and there are dozens of related parameters. Only by mastering these parameters with complete precision can the positioning accuracy be improved to within 300 meters in diameter, but this requires more advanced warship sensor technology than is currently available to accurately collect data.
All in all, according to the predictions of military scientific researchers, within ten years, the "theory of stealth warship countermeasures" will not be fully practical, and it will only provide a theoretical basis, which will require the continuous efforts of future generations.
Taking a step back, even if the positioning accuracy is improved to within 300 meters, it is only to ensure that it can hit the "Storm" in the optically invisible state. In order to sink this ship, the prerequisite is that the Tempest does not open the R-particle shield. If you want to sink the stealth destroyer, which has the R particle shield activated, the positioning accuracy must be further improved to within 120 meters.
The figure of 120 meters is very remarkable, it is already a little smaller than the length of 200 meters of the destroyer, but it is equivalent to three "Tempest" side by side in the horizontal or longitudinal direction.
The shadow zone of the "Tempest" can spread to a range of thousands of kilometers in diameter, and it is extremely difficult to locate this extent, and it requires epoch-making progress in science and technology to make it possible.
In the final analysis, under the current level of human science and technology, the "Storm" in optical invisibility is unsolvable.
When the insoluble "Tempest" passed through the minefield, it was like letting the tiger return to the mountains and traveling for nine days, and it was extremely difficult to seize the opportunity to besiege it with a minefield again.
If the same thing had happened in the New Asian Republic, the valiant soldiers of the Republic would have tried to keep them even at the cost of their lives, and there would never have been such an instigation as the Kimek Escort. Isn't it the last sword, it's not at the cost of the lives of the bridge crews, from a strategic point of view, this sacrifice is worth it.
In such a war age, even if human life is not as bad as a mustard, it should not hypocritically flaunt the spirit of humanism as the UAC Federation. It is a pity that there is no strong national strength and military strength, but there is no matching military will and spirit.
Objectively speaking, looking at the "Storm" and "Tempest" from a hostile standpoint, the threat is far greater than that of a front-line fleet. The UAC has lost more troops than a fleet of troops, directly or indirectly, to this legendary combination. And if they are allowed to leave, the UAC Federation Army will have more losses in the future, and there will be more than one fleet.
If it weren't for the damn humanist spirit that made the soldiers more bloody, Storm and Storm would never have had a chance to escape from this airspace today.
UAC can only blame himself for being cocooned.
