Jiangba is known as the "ancient naval battle, the decisive battle of the sea, which can be said to be the second grandson battle." 【】

From the tactical perspective of naval warfare, there were two major turning points in the Little Third World War.

The first turning point was the "Maldives Naval Battle" in which large-caliber electromagnetic guns appeared on the stage of naval warfare and became a weapon of naval warfare. Although in this battle. Due to the limitation of firing range and other secondary factors, the performance of surface ships equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns was not completely satisfactory, but the results of actual combat have proved that the era of long-range fire strikes represented by large-caliber electromagnetic guns has arrived. Naval warfare will enter an era in which victory or defeat is decided by firepower, and not by aviation. In the next few naval battles, the capital ship appeared on the stage of naval warfare and conquered the ocean with a "five-minute performance", making the aircraft carrier that has dominated the sea for more than 100 years a supporting role.

In just a few years, amazing technological progress has brought the combat effectiveness of capital ships to the peak.

I have to admit that the war has an unparalleled effect on science and technology exhibitions. To put it mildly, many technologies that would not have been thought of in peacetime would not only be conceived during the war, but would soon become a reality. The simplest example is the birth of nuclear weapons in World War II. Without World War II, without the frantic pursuit of victory on both sides of the war, and with the normal development of peacetime, even in another 100 years, it would not have been possible to create an atomic bomb that could be used in real combat. It can even be said that without the Second World War, I am afraid that no politician would have believed that he could create a bomb that could destroy a city, or even an entire human race. Similar to the atomic bomb, there are many other technologies that have had a significant impact on human civilization, such as antibiotics, such as electronics, such as computers, etc., which are related to war, and they were originally in the service of war.

In a sense, the electric revolution is also about war.

In fact, the Third World War was the direct result of the great adjustment of the production structure of human society triggered by the electric revolution, and it was a direct confrontation between the old empires and the emerging powers in order to compete for the dominance of human civilization.

This influence penetrates into all levels of the war.

The emergence of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft and their wide application on the battlefield. It has fundamentally changed the appearance and tactics of ground warfare, so that ground troops no longer rely on basic lines of communication such as roads and railways, and the influence of the geographical environment has been minimized, and they can act more flexibly and freely, completely subverting the traditional ground tactics.

Of course, this effect is also felt in the Navy. This is the energy weapon represented by the electromagnetic cannon.

Without electromagnetic guns, naval tactics would most likely go back more than a hundred years.

It is important that technological progress does not stop because a certain tactic is proven. When a revolutionary technology makes a breakthrough. Tactics are bound to change dramatically. This is just like the emergence of the internal combustion engine, which gave mankind the ability to fly into the sky, thus making aviation the master of the battlefield, and aviation tactics decided everything. The second major turning point came from a technological revolution.

Quantum communication technology!

As a fundamental technology, quantum theory and relativity emerged almost simultaneously, and from the very beginning it was a contradiction, that is, in the microscopic world dominated by quantum theory, light is not the fastest way to transmit information.

Since the quantum theory was confirmed, scientists around the world have not stopped researching it. The greatest dream of almost all quantum theorists is to be able to turn quantum theory from theory to reality like the atomic bomb. For example, in the century of the knife. Countries around the world have made great efforts to turn quantum theory into reality and develop so-called quantum computers, so as to break through the limitations of electronic computers and obtain more powerful information processing capabilities.

Quantum theory is not very advanced, but it is very difficult to turn it into reality.

Comparing with the theory of relativity, quantum theory can only be used at the micro level, and the ability of humans to control the micro level is obviously not as good as the ability to control the macro level.

This is why atomic bombs are easier to build than quantum computers.

Of course, another important factor is that there is not enough investment to be large enough to cause qualitative change from quantitative change.

You know, if it weren't for World War II, the atomic bomb wouldn't have exploded in the year and changed the history of mankind.

If you can achieve the investment that causes qualitative changes, you can only fight a war on a large scale.

Of course, before the outbreak of the war, the Republic and the United States invested huge amounts of money in scientific research in the quantum field.

According to the post-war declassified information, it was as early as the beginning of the century, that is, the beginning of the electric revolution. The Republic has set up a special laboratory at the National Physics Experiment Center, and has provided a large amount of scientific research funds for the application of the theory of measurement and force in the form of national scientific research. In the more than 20 years until Songnian, thousands of yuan have been spent on research in related fields, but the results achieved are very limited.

At the end of the day, it's still not enough.

This changed in Yo Nian.

In the face of the threat of war, funding for research is no longer an issue. More importantly, at that time, the Republican ** team was faced with a very serious problem, that is, the forced electromagnetic interference system spread around the world, so that many precision-guided weapons became ornaments, if it could not find a means of communication free from electromagnetic interference. And to put it into practical use, the republican team will have to return to the mechanized era, relying on mechanical force and manpower to win the Third World War. There is no doubt that this is something that is impossible for the North Foot. Or will pay a very heavy price for this...

The new communication theory is ready-made, that is, quantum theory, but it is very difficult to put it into practice.

Since the beginning of the year, as the Republic has begun preparations for war, the scientific research funds spent on quantum theory research have increased dozens of times. More importantly, in the same year, the authorities of the Republic adopted the recommendation of the Physics Experiment Center to shift the focus of applied research in quantum theory from quantum computers to quantum communications.

One of the main reasons for this is that quantum communication is much simpler.

Theoretically, the states of microscopic particles can be divided into high-energy states and low-energy states, and these two states are equivalent to the switching circuits in electronic computers, that is, the sum o in binary. In this way, only by controlling the energy state of microscopic particles, combined with quantum theory, information can be instantaneously transmitted to another one or several homomorphic quanta, so as to achieve the purpose of transmitting information without intervals. Because it does not rely on electromagnetic fields to transmit information. Therefore, this means of communication is not affected by electromagnetic interference. What's more, the state of microscopic particles cannot be imitated, so quantum communication systems can theoretically be kept absolutely secret.

All in all, quantum communication has a very bright future.

Of course, this is also in line with the appetite of the Republican **, after all, what the army needs most is not faster computers, but safe and effective means of communication.

The problem is that obtaining more than 2 homomorphic quanta is the biggest technical difficulty.

In order to solve this problem, thousands of top scientists of the Republic spent more than ten years, or even decades, until the year of the year, that is, in the fourth year of the Third World War, to obtain a pair of homomorphic quanta by means of additives, and successfully separated them, thus proving the correctness of the theory of quantum communication.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is not difficult to start.

Because during the Great War, quantum communication technology was first applied to the military.

This is the world's first "remote-controlled fighter", because quantum communication is not limited by degrees. It can transmit information instantly, so the reaction of a remote-controlled fighter is no slower than that of a manned pilot. Quantum communication is theoretically undisturbed, so there is no problem of communication blockage. What's more, the information transmission degree of the quantum communication system is hundreds of times that of electromagnetic communication, and it can even reach infinity in theory, so the remote-controlled fighter will not have the problem of communication bandwidth.

Of course, there is an advanced communication technology alone, which cannot bring advanced weapons and equipment.

As a fighter of the era, in addition to using quantum communication equipment to transmit remote control information, it also integrates almost all advanced technologies that can be used. For example, this is the world's first truly capable fighter with air-space combat capabilities. To be more precise, it means that under the premise of not sacrificing the combat capability in the atmosphere, it has a perfect orbital combat capability and can perform combat missions like an orbital vehicle. Another example. This is the world's first fighter aircraft that completely adopts dynamic lift technology, that is, there is no aerodynamic lift structure, there is no wing, there is no fuselage that can generate lift, and there is no need to adopt a special design in order to improve lift, but completely according to the combat purpose, that is, the combat mission performed to design the fuselage to maximize its combat effectiveness.

Among the many technologies, the most prominent is the control technology known as "consciousness remote control".

The so-called "remote control" definitely does not mean that you can control the operation from thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away with a remote control. To know. If the traditional control method is adopted, that is, controlled by the limbs, communication technology will not be a problem for a long time, and the real bottleneck is in the human nervous system. That is, the reflexes of people cannot keep up with the requirements of combat. It is precisely because of this that in many so-called high-mobility combat pines such as Xiaohu, it is necessary to use life assistance systems to stimulate the pilot's response nerves with drugs, electric currents, and so on, so that the pilot's responsiveness can be increased several times, and even dozens of times If there is no such technology, manned fighters have long been replaced by unmanned fighters.

Unfortunately, organisms are limited in their responsiveness.

In order to maximize the potential of remotely controlled fighters, it is necessary to change this situation, so that human beings who control weapons and equipment are no longer the restrictors of the performance of weapons.

The only thing that works is "consciousness control technology"

The so-called "consciousness control technology" is to directly collect the brainwaves of the controller, analyze the brainwaves, figure out the intentions of the controller, and then have the equipment to carry out these intentions. Because the "consciousness control technology" belongs to the electromagnetic field, the technical span is not very large, and it has matured before the explosion of the war, but it is affected by factors such as the scope of application, reliability, etc., and it has not been applied to clowns until several years after the explosion of the war. The problem is that in the absence of reliable communication technology, it is not necessary to make the consciousness control system fully enclosed, so as not to be affected by electromagnetic interference. In other words, the pilot still has to stay on the fighter, and the pilot's physical endurance naturally becomes a shortcoming of the fighter's maneuverability. Even with the use of anti-load suits and drugs that can improve the body's endurance, human beings can only withstand multiple overloads at most, and this is the limit of the maneuverability of the last generation of manned fighters.

"Consciousness control" plus "quantum communication" becomes "consciousness remote control"

Because the personnel controlling the fighter are not on the fighter, it is natural that the pilot can not be said to have stayed in the rear, so the maneuverability of the fighter is no longer limited by the ability of the human machine. The reason is very simple, in traditional pneumatic aircraft, the parts that mainly provide lift, such as the bearing capacity of the wing, are relatively poor, which can be regarded as structural defects. In order to maximize the maneuverability of the aircraft, these structural defects must be removed, as if the pilot was left on the ground.

As a result, the first generation of remotely controlled fighters was very different from aircraft in the traditional sense, and even deviant fighters such as the Joker.

If you look at it from the shape, it is not an exaggeration to describe a remote-controlled fighter with a "flying duck egg".

Theoretically, a spherical shape is the best load-bearing body in three-dimensional space, that is, it can withstand the maximum external force with the least amount of material. And so it goes. In order to improve the overload capacity of the aircraft, it is necessary to improve the structural bearing capacity of the aircraft as much as possible, and it is naturally best to design the aircraft into a spherical shape. The problem is that the aircraft creates aerodynamic drag when flying at high altitudes. Especially at the bottom of the atmosphere, the aerodynamic drag is even the main external force borne by the aircraft, so the absolute spherical structure cannot be adopted, and the oval structure is more suitable for flight in the atmosphere.

Of course, if you don't take into account the flight within the atmosphere. Spherical shape is the ideal shape.

The mother is undoubted. This is definitely the least fighter of the class, and it is this fighter that completely changes the face of naval warfare.

This fighter, which has a maximum overload of more than four and is capable of flying at a speed of 40,000 kilometers per hour, can easily tear through the air defense network of the fleet in any situation, and can even drop the bomb it carries on the target before the air defense system of the fleet can react.

If you don't take into account the cost, you can even turn a remotely controlled fighter into a remotely controlled bomb.

In fact, the Navy of the Republic does have such intentions.

In this way, the range of the large-caliber electromagnetic gun is nothing.

To put it mildly, if you don't consider returning, a remote-controlled fighter can attack a target in any corner of the world, and the maximum range of the electromagnetic cannon is no more than a kilometer. Just as the battle was about to be engaged, the capital ship was killed by a bomb dropped by a remote-controlled fighter before it could see its target.

Of course, it is not only the capital ships that are affected. Rather, the entire Navy.

As long as the minor technical problem of limiting the combat radius of remotely controlled fighters is solved, it is a question of whether there is a need for the Navy to exist. Even if there is a need for the Navy to exist. After all, human technology is not strong enough to reach the point of large-scale colonization on other planets, and most people still have to live on the earth, so they can't do without the sea and the sea, but in the case of ships on the surface of the sea have become decorations, it is necessary to save only submarines that operate under the surface of the water and will not be seriously threatened by the air for the time being.

The problem is that in the third year of Jin, the first generation of remote-controlled fighters still had to suffer from a lot of restrictions.

The biggest problem. That is, the combat radius is limited.

Affected by this, the first-generation remote-controlled fighters were not incorporated into the Space Army, but were incorporated into the Navy's battle sequence, and the funds were jointly borne by the Space Army and the Navy. Although this fighter, which weighs less than a ton and does not require a runway or a catapult to take off, can be deployed on almost all large warships, the Republic Navy still deploys this fighter on the sea base, and puts the control personnel in the naval base on the mainland.

In addition to security factors, the main purpose of this is to keep it secret, because at that time, the Republic Navy claimed to be an unmanned fighter, not a remote-controlled fighter, and it did not announce that it was a "consciousness remote-controlled" fighter. Of course, there is another reason that cannot be avoided, and that is that the control system of the first generation of remotely controlled fighters was relatively complex. It is more cumbersome to maintain and equip troops with a network network, which has only been used in battles to support Puerto Rico before, so it is more suitable to deploy a military base on the mainland.

Of course, the biggest change brought about by the new equipment is in tactics.

The U.S. Navy did not know that the Navy of the Republic already had the means to strike directly thousands of kilometers away, so it did not make any corresponding preparations.

Because the Republic Navy has sent eight main fleets to the Caribbean, the air fleet that fights together is mainly equipped with traditional fighters such as blades. In the eyes of the US Navy, naval battles remain the arena of capital ships, not aviation. When arranging troops, the US Navy always kept an eye on those main fleets, did not pay attention to the sea base groups deployed in the waters north of Venezuela, and did not pay attention to those "unmanned fighters" that had only performed well in ground support before. Naturally, no preparations were made.

Not to mention anything else, the fighters sent by the US military to cover the main fleet are simply not able to intercept remote-controlled fighters.

The outcome of this naval battle can naturally be imagined.

In a sense, this naval battle is both the pinnacle of the navy and the death knell of the navy.

In terms of post-war evaluation, after the "Battle of Cuba", there was no need for the Navy to exist, human civilization officially marched towards the space age, and the war officially entered the air and space age!
