Chapter 172: Luo Yunxi's attitude
Admiral Goering's chin rested on his fists, his eyes fixed on the three-dimensional projection in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info Only those who are familiar with him know that this is a move he will only make when the big war reaches a critical moment.
The three-dimensional projection is the third-person perspective of the "compound eye system", and the "secret of Jikyo" is displayed in the screen. Three pale blue trails stretched out of the L2 fortress and stretched straight into the distance until they reached 50,000 kilometers.
The intersection of these three trajectories and the flight trajectory of the "Berserker" marked by the system perfectly coincide in the local magnification interface.
That's where Tempest should be!
But to Goering's disappointment, there were no overdue explosions in the picture, which meant that the first round of shelling was missed.
It can be seen from this that the "Tempest" played some kind of trick that Admiral Goering did not know.
In other words, the other party is able to 'see' the situation in the shadow area in an optically invisible state. Otherwise, after missing each other, it will be difficult for them to recover the mobile suit. "GΓΆring never pinned his hopes on the foolishness of his opponent for victory.
In fact, every person who walks to the commander's position on the battlefield is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now is the war years, and those who rely on their whiskers or family backgrounds to mix with the army do not dare to come to the front battlefield, and even if they come, they will not live long.
During the war years, the stars shined, the stupid people stepped aside, and the talents were in charge.
The reason why Admiral Goering is the number one general of mankind is that he never regarded his enemies as fools, but always regarded his opponents as the most brilliant geniuses with the most prudent attitude. The gain of this is that no matter what unexpected situation he encounters, he will always be mentally prepared and be able to make the right response at the first time.
At this moment, he immediately pressed the intercom on the table and connected to the combat command room, "The railgun continues to predictively bombard and restrict the movement of the 'Tempest'; the garrison fleet returns from the Earth-Martian orbit to block its retreat; and the 11th and 12th fleets attack from both wings." β
It can be said that just to deal with a "Tempest", Admiral Goering's mobilization of forces was enough to fight a large battle. This is the reason why goshawks and rabbits also need to do their best.
Even so, he was still not very relieved, and immediately connected to another channel, "How is the situation of that 'Storm'?" β
"The bioradar scan confirmed that there were no vital signs in the body, and it was indeed an unmanned aircraft. Door code cracking is still underway, which is expected to take five minutes. Is violent demolition necessary? A request from a subordinate came from the intercom.
Goering did not reply, but continued to ask, "Are there any precautions in place?" β
"The maintenance cabin has been electromagnetically shielded, and all remote sensing methods cannot penetrate except for our own wired communications."
"Another five minutes, huh?" Goering hesitated for a moment, "Be vigilant and continue to crack." Notify me as soon as anything happens! β
The change happened at this time, but not in "The Secret of Jijing", but in space. I saw that three 2000mm metal high-explosive bombs continued to fly towards deep space after missing the target, and the "Storm," which was supposed to be closed and leave quickly, launched a counterattack at this moment.
The 800mm particle beam cannon is not an order of magnitude weapon compared to the 2000mm electromagnetic railgun, and it is unrealistic to rely on this level of firepower to bring any substantial damage to the "secret of Dijing".
If nothing else, in terms of the strength of the R-particle shield at the fortress level, at least a fleet-sized battleship must be able to fire a salvo to break through the shield in a single artillery hit. And a salvo of formation size does not even keep up with its recovery level for the r-particle shield.
In other words, the Tempest's return fire was only a sign of attitude, and did not have any tactical significance.
Unless the bow of the battleship is not equipped with a particle beam main gun, but a kinetic weapon such as a Gauss cannon or an electromagnetic railgun, it will be able to ignore the powerful fortress-class shield and directly attack its body.
But this is obviously impossible.
The 210mm Gauss cannon is already the largest caliber Gauss cannon today. Even if you continue to increase the diameter, you will not be able to increase the kinetic energy output. This is limited by the load level of the energized solenoid, and an energy output of more than 30 terjoules will cause the device to be overcurrent, and the line will be burned due to overheating.
The electromagnetic railgun, because of its different working principle, is energized to the thick launch rail, and the load can be increased by continuously thickening the track. Although this is to break through the output limit of 30 terjoules, it makes the huge size of the electromagnetic railgun not something that the warships of this era can carry.
Not to mention the fact that the acceleration of the electromagnetic railgun needs to be carried out through an extra-long orbit, and there are no conditions for laying such a trajectory inside the battleship, and only a fortress with a diameter of at least 5 km can deploy this weapon in the outermost circle.
In short, the "Tempest" could not hurt the "secret of Dijing", but Luo Yunxi expressed a gesture of hard resistance to Admiral Goering. So what happened next became logical.
After a distance of 50,000 kilometers, the original particle beam with a diameter of only 800 mm diverged to a full 100 meters, and finally only cast a huge spot of light on the appearance of the "Secret of Jijing", and the energy stirring light instantly gave this dark airspace a trace of brilliance.
And that's already all.
When the particle beam cannon diverges to this extent, even if the "Secret of Jijing" does not have a fortress-level R particle shield, it will not suffer any damage from this cannon. The power of the 800mm particle beam cannon is only 0.8 terjoules, and although the energy is several times higher than that of the 210mm Gauss cannon, the destructive power after dispersion is far inferior to this kinetic weapon with a power of only 0.15 terjoules.
In terms of lethality per unit area, the 210mm Gauss cannon is 4.33 terjoules per square meter, while the 800mm particle beam cannon is only 0.0001 terjoules per square meter after diverging to a diameter of 100 meters, or 1000 megajoules. The terminal kinetic energy of the 155mm howitzer in the old era was 15 megajoules, and the power per unit area was 850 megajoules, and the lethality of the two was basically the same.
And using a 155mm howitzer to bombard the outer armor plate of the "Secret of Dijing" with a thickness of 20 meters will definitely have no effect, and it will be worthy of the audience if it can make a shallow pit. Similarly, the 800mm particle beam cannon that diverges to a diameter of 100 meters is used as an energy weapon, and it also bombards the alloy with a thickness of 20 meters, which is to raise the surface temperature of the armor plate by several degrees.
So this cannon is not an attack at all, but an attitude of Luo Yunxi!
The failure of the main artillery attack does not mean that the "Tempest" will retreat. Admiral Goering, on the other hand, could see from the three-dimensional projection that the shadow area representing the location of the optically invisible warship continued to approach the fortress.
"Isn't the Tempest here to save people? But to be willful? Admiral Goering had such doubts for the first time, after all, the battleship had behaved too abnormally.
However, it is not a big problem, even if the "Tempest" is full of nuclear bombs, and it hits the "Secret of Dijing" in the form of a suicide attack, at most, it will destroy the outer armor plate, and it will not damage the important structure of the fortress.
After a brief trade-off, Admiral Goering decided to wait and see what else the Tempest could do.
At the same time, he also made corresponding adjustments to his own tactics, and let the Dijing garrison be responsible for the perimeter deployment and block the retreat of the "Storm"; Let the 11th and 12th fleets defend on the two flanks of "The Secret of Dijing", instead of taking the initiative to attack.
After a fruitless round of shelling, both sides made their choices.
There is no doubt that Luo Yunxi's attitude is to continue to move forward.
