Anti-gravity systems, a technology that is usually only seen in science fiction or cartoons, have appeared in this space-time. I realized this reality when I was in elementary school here www.biquge.info when anti-gravity systems that could produce practical benefits were just being applied on a large scale in the military.

In fact, after the initial surprise, I had a sense of relief that there is nothing in the world here that surpasses the technology over there!

In terms of the development of applied science, this world is actually faster than the other, and since the 17th century, the Ming Dynasty has begun an artificial, top-down, and forcefully promoted industrial revolution. In fact, there are traversers behind this ghost, it is not difficult to understand all this, Europe is not far behind, in the case of the slow development of social sciences, natural science is almost at a speed of thousands of miles in progress, although after reaching the information age, the speed of scientific and technological development in this world has slowed down significantly, and the rapid change of another world is a notch, but the accumulation of enough time also makes the world here have the possibility of quantitative change and qualitative change.

The anti-gravity system was invented in this context – the use of high-speed rotating superconductors to repel or attract objects, creating a gravity-like field that levitates objects with sufficient mass in the air, and such a technology has given people a material basis for building fantasy aerial warships. And when the world's first air warship, the Dreadnought, was built in the dockyard of the French and British Kingdom, all military aircraft in the world were declared obsolete. Time magazine of the Confederation of Burgun's Seventh Province commented that the ship "ushered in the era of dreadnought". Then there were super-dreadnoughts, with a huge mass of tens of thousands of tons, so that the planes of the old times simply could not shake them.

The officer's words are to some extent true, and I sincerely hope that he is completely right.

But the Cullen First Fleet was intercepted by the Soviets with aircraft.

"Soviets...... The Soviets used a new type of aircraft that we had never seen before! The liaison officer shouted in despair, "They have defeated our fleet with dive bombardment from above the Cullen First Fleet!" And...... It was a propeller plane......"

…… I suddenly had a feeling of pain in my chrysanthemum. Propeller aircraft defeated air warships with anti-gravity systems? Is this a joke? Why don't you say that an Aztec with an obsidian spear can beat a Spaniard with a musket each?! Why don't you say that the three major fleets of the earth can win the Trisolarans with Zhizi and Water Droplets? This is completely a qualitative gap!

The report then passed to Lan Tianwei's hands.

His face has turned purple, not to mention the demeanor of a Confucian general, that look looks like he wants to choose someone to devour.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" He angrily threw the report on the table.

The officers looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word more.

I dared to pick up the report and read it. Curiosity kills cats, but I'm so curious that I don't even care about my life.

After reading it, I was completely messed up, what should I say......

"The Cullen First Fleet was undergoing a major transformation before the outbreak of the war, and the Ministry of War, despite the opposition of the front-line generals, carried out a major transformation of the top of the Cullen fleet, and removed many anti-aircraft guns, because the bricks believed that 'the aircraft are completely outdated, the high-altitude threat that the air warships need to face is greatly reduced, and it is no longer necessary to maintain dense anti-aircraft firepower, it is better to dismantle it to reduce maintenance costs...... This move led to a serious lack of countermeasures in the face of Soviet bomber clusters, The small number of air-to-air missiles carried was grossly insufficient and costly, and it was almost useless against the cheap Soviet propeller bombers......"

One of the differences between an air warship and a traditional aircraft is that it does not have the ability to patrol at high altitudes at all, and the anti-gravity system can only keep the warship at an altitude of less than 3,000 meters. And its speed is also significantly lower than that of an airplane - can an engine with the same thrust be installed on an aircraft of only a dozen tons and a warship of several hundred tons? Therefore, even if the air battleship itself is an air unit, it still needs to be loaded with anti-aircraft guns on the top of the ship

"When the battle broke out, the Soviets dropped torpedoes from a high altitude with about 300 torpedo planes, and the Soviets had already figured out the cruising altitude of our air battleships...... "Well, this is a rather embarrassing question, at that altitude, all the ships of the First Fleet of the Cullen Fleet were all at high altitude, but the planes of the Soviets were all at high altitude, so when the torpedoes exploded at the predetermined altitude, the unlucky ones were the ships of the First Fleet of the Cullen, and the Soviets did not suffer any losses.

"In addition to conventional bombs, there are also a large number of jamming bombs, and in the first 20 minutes of the battle, the Soviets used 800 dive bombers to start a key attack on our anti-aircraft fire points, and in the following battle, our side has no effective means of counterattack......

I'm sure there must be a big embarrassment written on my face at this moment, the Soviets really know how to play. But that's right, condescending, to be prepared to play unprepared, and it's strange if you don't win. Even if the air battleship is rough and thick-skinned, in the face of the huge number of aircraft of the Soviets, it is standing and being beaten and unable to fight back, it must be more than lucky.

Alas, I also want to complain about those bricks, fighting is not as simple as the two fleets lining up in battle lines to bombard, the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water are not just a joke. If the war could really be fought in a dignified manner, the Spanish armada would not have been killed by the British flying kites...... Well, by the way, in this side of the world, it was the Burgundians who did this feat, and it would not be wrong to say that it was the Dutch of the previous plane, after all, the people who speak Low German make up more than half of the Burgundians......

"It can't be! How could the propeller machines of the Soviets have such a long range! Some officers were puzzled, "The First Fleet of Kulen was intercepted over Hami, and the military airfield that the Soviets can still use recently is also in Siberia, and it does not have such a large throughput capacity......

"It's stupid." I sighed, "The Soviets could use an air carrier as a relay." ”

The officer immediately began to retort to me: "Carriers? It's impossible, although I've had this idea a long time ago, but it turns out that the current technology can't build a mothership with a long enough runway, and landing is also a big problem! The risk is much greater than a mothership in the sea. ”

"That's why the Soviets used propeller planes, do you think the Soviets used propeller planes just because of the low cost? I think it's because the take-off and landing distances of propeller planes are very short......"
