Chapter 12 Kimek 2.0
The firing power of the electromagnetic railgun is fixed, which is related to the carrying capacity of the launch track. The upper limit of the firing energy of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info 2000mm electromagnetic railgun is 5 terjoules, and the energy of these 5 terjoules will be converted into kinetic energy.
According to the kinetic energy formula, e=mv^2/2, with a fixed energy, the mass of the shell is inversely proportional to the square of the velocity. If you want to increase the weight of the shell, you will lose speed. If you want to increase the flight speed of the shells, you have to start by reducing the weight.
At this moment, because the "Tempest" is located 100,000 kilometers away from the L4 base, if it is fired at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, the flight process of the shells will take more than half a minute. Although kinetic weapons will not have significant energy loss in space, such a long flight time is enough for a warship to make appropriate evasive actions.
In order to ensure that this gun would hit the target, the fire controller of the L4 base chose a lightweight shell with a mass of only one-tenth of the normal one, allowing it to fly at a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second. Of course, the lethality of this lightweight artillery shell is definitely inferior to that of normal artillery shells, and the sputtering effect is not as good as that of conventional artillery shells in large-scale fleet battles, and it is generally used less often.
In this way, it only takes 10 seconds for this hypervelocity projectile to reach the distance where the "Tempest" is located. Unlike Mobile Suits, warships have a huge individual size and flight inertia, and it will definitely take more than 10 seconds to perform an effective evasive maneuver.
At the beginning, in Taimei WH, the evasive action made by the UAC formation against the Gauss cannon attack of the "Storm" No. 4 could only be regarded as a fine-tuning, and the purpose was only to avoid the main gun, but not to completely avoid the attack. So for a normal battleship, in the face of a 2000mm electromagnetic railgun that dies next to each other, 10 seconds is enough to be deadly.
But the "Tempest" is not an ordinary warship, and the capabilities of the crew of the Awoken cannot be understood in a conventional way. In 10 seconds, with the help of the "Acceleration" ability, the battleship made a small angle turn and successfully escaped the trajectory of the electromagnetic railgun, making the Kimek fortress's debut miss.
At this time, just a minute and ten seconds have passed, and the "Tempest" has dodged the first shelling of the L4 base, and the mobile suit led by Fengyu is still nearly 100,000 kilometers away from this half-finished fortress.
To take care of Haag's Berserkers, the entire team flew at a speed of 350 kilometers per second, and the estimated time to reach base L4 was 5 minutes. Such a long time is enough for some of the Kimek convoy warships to leave the port, and it is also enough for them to launch at least one squadron-sized MG. Fengyu will lose the opportunity to smash the power department of the fortress and carry out a decapitation operation.
Feng Yu didn't want to let the "Storm" No. 3 lead the MG team to take the lead, and this part of the body with an average speed of 500 kilometers per second can be reached in only three minutes and twenty seconds. However, the emotional personality cannot be more than 20,000 kilometers away from the body, so the No. 4 unit must move at full speed of 400 kilometers per second to ensure that it does not exceed this distance.
As a result, the team will be broken into three parts, and the distance between the front and back will reach 30,000 kilometers, which is not a wise choice. Moreover, the one minute and forty seconds saved by the No. 3 machine is not a decisive factor, and it is impossible to catch the opponent off guard.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the rational personality decided to act collectively and forcibly break through the defense line of GMP people by virtue of their own individual ability. As long as the No. 3 machine can be sent into the fortress, even if it is sacrificed by this super model, as long as it can trigger the nuclear explosion of the fortress power furnace, it will be a victory for Awa-ker from both the tactical and strategic levels.
Of course, this is just Fengyu's tactical concept, and it is not easy to do. The UAC Federation Army is arguably one of the armies that knows the best about the fighting style of the Wind. From before Feng Yu became famous, to the subsequent battles with the 9th Fleet of the New African Galaxy Front, as well as the battles with the "New Asia" in Taiya WH, and the New American Galaxy, they have mastered detailed video data, and have set up a "Storm" tactical counter-warfare research laboratory to study ways to restrain him.
The fortification of Base L4 is just one of the measures taken by the UAC Federation, in addition to further strengthening the Kimek Escort. All this is in the UAC Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Federal Forces There is an official document called the Kimec 2.0 White Paper
Prior to April of SC0108, the Kimek Escort was only an experimental force, and although the level of secrecy was high, the other equipment of this special fleet was not very good, except for the MG series production models and prototypes. Because the UAC Federation has no intention of putting it on the main battlefield in the short term, there is no need to equip this fleet with too good combat equipment.
However, after the raid on the M320 star field by the "Tempest", the Joint Chiefs of Staff realized that the existing combat strength of the Kimek escort force could not help the "Storm" at all, and that the future war between the GMP people and the Awakened was inevitable, and it was time to upgrade this fleet.
The first thing that needs to be solved is the captains' heartfelt fear of the "storm", in fact, the reason why the Kimek escort team behaved so aggressively that day was mainly because the wind was too ruthless. In order to help the Tempest survive, for the first time in history, he directly attacked the bridge. After two successive battleships were sunk like this, the remaining captains only thought of death when they saw his slasher, not just defeat.
So after the incident, except for the fleet commander, who was given a major demerit for taking the lead in retreating, the other captains were forgiven for their retreat.
To solve this problem, the warships of the Kimek convoy received an upgrade in their protection capabilities. It is also the core content of Kimec 2.0, the second generation of R particle guard, also known as R particle shield.
The first generation of the R particle shield is a spherical shell shield with the R particle generator as the core, and the diameter varies from a few hundred meters to thousands of kilometers depending on the power of the R particle generator. This shield can effectively resist attacks from external particle beam weapons and other energy weapons, and is very practical.
But there is a problem with this shield, which is that it lacks the necessary protection against the energy weapons inside the shield. Although the Particle Beam Rifle and Particle Beam Sniper Rifle equipped by Mobile Suit also cannot shoot within the area covered by the R particle shield, and will explode due to the interference of R particles, the Ship Cutter can be used normally without being affected.
Like the Battle's own particle beam main gun, the Ship Cutter has a shielding mechanism that counters R particle interference, and can work normally under the influence of high concentrations of R particles. As a result, the mobile suit armed with a ship-chopping knife became the most feared and inexplicable object of warships in this period.
In response to this one-sided situation, the UAC Federation, which has suffered greatly, has begun to study countermeasures. In fact, since mankind has the practical science and technology of military technology, it has been constantly making progress in the research of countermeasures and countermeasures. After the birth of a new tactic, whoever can find countermeasures first will be able to seize the opportunity in future wars.
As one of the countries that has sunk the most warships with the Ship Cutter in recent years, the UAC Federation Force has far more demand for countering the Chopper than other countries, so they quickly developed the second-generation R particle shield.
As the name suggests, the R-particle shield is a film-like protective layer that clings to the outer wall of the battleship, rather than spreading outward like the original R-particle shield. In this way, the attack of the Ship Chopper is no longer carried out inside the shield, but needs to break through the shield before it can damage the hull of the battleship.
However, as a new product, the strength of the R particle shield is not good, and it cannot completely block the attack of the ship chopper, but can only be weakened. Moreover, it is not very effective in the face of the main gun attack of the battleship, and will damage the hull armor plate due to the energy interference that occurs on the surface of the hull.
Therefore, in the short term, the UAC Federation will not put this technology into those first-line fleets on the main battlefield, but use it for the Kimek escort. This arrangement can be said to be just right, completely aimed at the "Storm", which basically does not use the main gun, and the "Storm", which is invincible with the sword.
With the protection of the R-particle film, the captains of the Kimek Escort no longer need to worry about their ships being sunk by the "Storm". In this way, these warships can join the mobile wargroup directly and provide fire support to GMP human pilots, just like the Tempest.
In addition, there are other upgrades in Kimek 2.0, all of which are things that will cause big trouble for Fengyu.
It's just that these messages belong to military intelligence, and Leonardo's business intelligence network is not good at this area after all, and nothing is known about it.
