The power of the giant cannon would not have been possible if it were not for the earth's circular sphere, with a range of 500 kilometers that would not have been possible in an attack on the ground and the sea. That can definitely be classified as a superweapon.

Fourteen times the speed of sound, or at a mass of fifty kilograms, the destructive power of the light is extremely terrifying. Its destructive capability is no less than that of a direct hit by a supersonic missile carrying a one-ton warhead.

In the past, Li Lan couldn't use such a super attack weapon at all, because there was nothing around that was worth destroying with a giant cannon.

But now, once war breaks out, the military satellites of the United States that are all in the sky are the last thing Li Lan wants to see. With a range of 500 km, it is enough to destroy those high-precision spy satellites in low-earth orbit. As for those high-orbit monitoring satellites, the threat to Li Lan is not too great.

Moreover, as long as the location of the giant cannon is installed, it can directly block the entire sea area of the Gulf of Aden.

With the height of more than 2,400 meters on the summit of Mount Surud, the giant cannon can completely bring the entire Gulf of Aden and a large part of Yemen, as well as Djibouti, into the firing range. This effect alone was enough to be pinned on by Li Lan during the war.

Since the 80s of the last century, the world's major countries have invested heavily in the development of electromagnetic guns, especially railguns, which have always been the focus of research. In the United States, there have been certain research results on electromagnetic guns, and on the new generation of American supercarriers Ford-class, electromagnetic guns and laser anti-missile weapons will be installed.

Therefore, although the things given by the base were very good, it did not make Li Lan feel that he was a bull and could be proud of the entire world. After all, the success or failure of a war can no longer be decided by relying on one or two advanced weapons. In particular, the confrontation between systems is the strength of the whole. Advanced weapons technology. It doesn't mean a win.

In terms of the lethality of conventional weapons, with the advancement of science and technology. The era of giant artillery has been replaced by missiles. However, this does not mean that the era of the giant cannon will be a thing of the past. Perhaps one day in the future, the mode of naval warfare will be replaced by battleships again, but the battleships are no longer used with giant cannons, but with electromagnetic guns and laser weapons, and the shells fired by electromagnetic railguns also have the ability to self-guide. This day may come at some point in the future, or it may still be dominated by aircraft carriers.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Li Lan at this moment, what he has to think about is. How to get the most out of the cannon.

Mount Surud is the highest peak in Somalia and the largest mountain range in Somalia, with an altitude of more than 2,400 meters. The air is also slightly thinner, making it ideal for early warning radars. Now, Li Lan plans to build a giant cannon on the mountain.

The thinning of the air has the advantage of allowing the projectiles to be fired with less resistance to the air. It has a good effect on the initial rate of fire. And you can also attack as far away as possible. For people, standing tall can see far, and for giant artillery, standing high can hit far.

Otherwise, place on a horizontal surface. Under the curve of the earth, it can only threaten targets at most twenty or thirty kilometers, and the role of the giant cannon is greatly reduced. It's also a huge waste. And the height is more than 2,000 kilometers, as far as the field of vision can reach. It's within the reach of the cannon. It is not difficult to reach an effective range of 500 km.

In the game, the power of the giant cannon is amazing. It is the number one ground weapon in addition to superweapons. In reality, the base will not disappoint Li Lan either.

The construction cost of 3.2 million yuan, the construction time of 15 days, and the daily capital consumption is only a little more than 210,000 yuan. At present, the focus is on building defensive weapon units, and Li Lan will naturally not back down because of the consumption of 210,000 yuan per day.

Click on the construction icon, determine the location of the construction, and after the final confirmation, the cannon is under construction. Half a month later, the first cannon will be able to play its role.

At present, Li Lan has built several radar stations and a crack generator in the Surud Mountains, so he is not worried that the construction of the giant cannon will be discovered by satellites of the United States or other countries. Unless someone climbs the mountain and sees the facilities above with the naked eye, or maybe an enemy fighter plane rushes over it and the pilot sees it with his eyes. Otherwise, it is impossible to detect buildings and people under the camouflage of crack generators by relying on electronic devices. It is precisely because of this that many of Li Lan's current secrets would not be able to continue to be hidden under the reconnaissance of satellites in the sky. In particular, the US spy satellites, one of which reaches the skies over Somalia every four minutes, are low-orbit high-precision detection satellites, which can not only take photos with an accuracy of 0.1 meters, but also have the ability to detect thermal energy and 10 meters underground.

And the spy satellites in the base defense units will naturally not be weak.

Eighteen spy satellites have been launched over the air, and this number is far from enough. The navy, land, and air force are advancing hand in hand, and aerospace technology cannot be left behind.

However, it takes a long time to prepare. Since the last satellite launch, Li Lan has once again produced 12 spy satellites and carrier rockets, which are now being installed and debugged at the satellite launch center.

The previous eighteen satellites plus the current twelve satellites are all military spy satellites. Exclusively in the service of the military. In peacetime in the future, Li Lan also plans to launch some satellites that will truly serve the role of civilian use or scientific research when launching military satellites.

Now these twelve satellites must be launched before the war comes, and of course, it is best to complete it before the departure of the Japanese Myoko. In this way, the American side will be jealous.

"Assistant, how much energy do you have left for the weather controller?" After finishing the construction of the defense unit, Li Lan glanced at the running superweapon, the weather controller, and asked his assistant.

"There is also about 35% of the energy, and it can also form a month or so of medium-intensity rainfall."

"One month is enough, immediately shift the rainfall to the south, increase the amount of rainfall, and strive to complete the rainfall task within a month." After thinking a little in his heart, Li Lan continued: "The main thing is to increase the rainfall in the southern region, and the northern region is not just a light rain!" ”

"Yes!"

In Li Lan's hands, the weather controller, a superweapon that could have been illuminated into a powerful natural lethality, was more of a tool to change the ecological environment.

Using a superweapon in these aspects, Li Lan is also helpless. The number of rains in the past 10 years on this land of Somalia can be counted on two hands. If the people are not self-sufficient in food and rely entirely on imports, the money spent is one aspect, and on the other hand, it is too easy to be controlled by external factors.

In his view, the use of weather controllers to change the ecological environment plays a strategic role. It is no less effective than using it to destroy an important enemy city or military installation. Especially in terms of economy and people's livelihood, its role is immeasurable.

"Assistant, tell me, how many years of rain will it take to stop the whole Somali land from being so dry?"

This is the third rainy season in Somalia under the control of a weather controller, and in the eyes of many Somalis, it is Allah's blessing to rain down. In fact, Li Lan knows best that if it weren't for his existence, a large number of Somalis would have starved to death in the rainy season of the past three years. Three consecutive years of rainfall have transformed large areas of northern Somalia, and large areas of desert south of the Surud Mountains have been turned into pastures, which have also become Li Lan's most important animal husbandry base. But the rain can't go on so endlessly, year after year, when it will be able to exert its true power as a superweapon. Li Lan also wanted to use the weather controller to accomplish some things that could not be done by manpower.

"In fact, while the weather controller is changing the climate, it is constantly changing the original climate laws of the earth, and there are good sides, and naturally there will be bad sides. Just like the rain that comes from the weather controller, it also affects many other places, some places should have rain, but because of the weather controller, it caused a single inch of rain to fall and caused drought. This influence is not temporary, because the climate of individual regions of the planet has changed under the influence of weather controllers. ”

After hearing the assistant talk about the rainfall affecting other places, Li Lan thought of the drought that had occurred in India every year in the past three years, and it seemed that India was beginning to have a food shortage. He hurriedly interrupted his assistant and asked, "Wait a minute, is the drought in India caused by me?" ”

"Weather controllers are not able to produce rainfall, they just control the environment and transfer the rainfall from the Indian Ocean to Somalia. These rainfalls follow the atmospheric circulation and are an important source of precipitation in India. So, as the commander said, the drought in India is brought about by the weather controller. ”

"Isn't it!" Li Lan scratched his head, he really didn't have the idea of harming Ah San now, he hadn't cared about these before, emotional things were like this, and said in his heart: Poor Ah San, you just bear it slowly!

Now he could only shake his head, and continue to pretend that he didn't know anything, "What does it have to do with starvation or flooding!" Assistant, go on. ”

"If Somalia were located in southern Africa, it would only take a year or two to make the change, but in northern Africa, where rainfall is already extremely scarce, and with the influence of trade winds, a normal rainfall of 20 millimeters a year is very good. Therefore, it will take a long time to change the normal weather environment here. This time is not expected to be less than five years. ”

"Five years!" As soon as he heard the figure of five years, Li Lan left a few black lines on his head, and said in his heart: Is it really necessary to wait until the ultimate authority before he can really use the weather controller in war? (To be continued......)
