Volume 1 Educational Reform Pilot Zone 0188 Glory-4
"The test launch is complete, and the ballistics are calculated."
"After the ballistics are calculated, the error vector is counted."
"The battery is in final calibration."
……
The crew of the World Finish was in full swing to make final corrections to the trajectory.
At this time, the spacecraft was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the "Iron Guard-1". At the current distance, even if the muzzle is only offset by 1 degree, the actual landing point of the shell will be very different from the intended landing point.
It is conceivable that a fictitious straight line is drawn between the spacecraft and the migrant satellite, assuming that the straight line is 10,000 kilometers, how much will the end of the line be offset by gently swinging 1 degree with the spacecraft as the center of the circle? The answer is about 17 km.
Therefore, it is actually extremely difficult to hit the enemy's ship with a cannonball in space.
In a space battle, the warship usually has to maintain a speed of about 900 kilometers per second, regardless of whether it is the enemy or the enemy. If it's too fast, don't fight. The distance between warships and warships is often thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and it is more difficult to hit the opponent than to use anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.
Moreover, from the time a person sees the target to the time he pulls the trigger, it takes a reaction time, and ordinary people generally take about 0.2 seconds. That is, at least 0.2 seconds have passed since the wait for someone to lock on to the enemy ship and then pull the trigger, and the enemy has already run 200 kilometers away.
To this end, the space forces of various countries not only have extremely high requirements for the predictability of soldiers, but also simply cancel the manual trigger in all space warships and replace it with a built-in mental force sensing module to shorten the reaction time as much as possible.
Salro sat heavily armed in the captain's seat.
Seeing that the crew was well-trained, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride in his heart.
The militia regiment is not a regular army, and the quality of the recruited soldiers is not high, so it is indeed not easy to get familiar with this new type of space warship, which is the most difficult to operate in history.
"However, such a warship also gave us the former district militia regiment instead of the regular army, and it also shows that our commander, the Marquis of Erwin, is indeed deeply trusted by His Excellency the President!"
Sallo took out a brand-new gold cup from the dark compartment next to his seat with a slight relief, and poured himself a cup of tea rewardingly.
This cup of tea is obviously warm, but there is not the slightest moisture, and even the verdant tea leaves do not float to the water, they are all floating freely in the tea. This was naturally controlled by Salro with dragon energy.
There is no gravity inside the spaceship, and the water is afraid of floating out of the quilt by itself, and the average crew member uses a sealed water bottle with a straw to drink water, even if the realm is enough.
And Sallo was able to drink from a cup not only because he was the captain of the ship. Above all, Salroko was a nobleman with a knighthood. Ordinary Salro can, but Viscount Salro must never suck water with his mouth in public.
This is detrimental to aristocratic grace.
Even, in the Blue Sun Galaxy, it has always been the minimum standard for nobles to become space forces, and to be able to drink water from a cup.
Salro gracefully controlled the dragon qi, brought the imprisoned tea fragrance in the cup to his nose, and after tasting a taste, Fang took a sip.
After closing the lid of the cup, he tasted the fragrance between his lips and teeth, and he suddenly felt a feeling of emotion gushing out like spring water.
Speaking of which, it's not just the warship they are piloting today that is a new type of warship. What is worth his emotion is that the high-energy electromagnetic cannon equipped with this battleship is also the latest electromagnetic gun "Glory-4" that is still in the experimental stage.
The suffix 4 of "Glory-4" indicates that it is the fourth generation of the Honor series. Today, most of the new warships of the Camilla Space Force, as well as many old warships of the Zifeng Space Force, still use the "Glory-3".
And the Glory series is arguably the most glorious set of all weapons today. The first generation of the series, "Glory-1", was once called the "Light of the Republic" and even the "Light of Civilization" by Camilla and many Zifeng people.
It not only completely changed the shape of space warfare, but also made a name for helping immigrants to get rid of imperial rule, and has an unshakable and important position in the history books.
Before the independence of the Republic of Camilla, although the speed of space warships at that time was only hundreds of kilometers per second, the electromagnetic cannon technology and gunner quality at that time were not high, and secondly, the space warships at that time belonged to the only country at that time - the Western Sea Empire, and only needed to deal with the poorly equipped non-governmental forces - space pirates.
It was not until the independence of the Republic of Camilla and the official establishment of the Camilla Space Force that the situation was broken, and the dominance of laser cannons was soon revolutionarily overthrown.
However, at first, within the Camilla Space Force, there was actually a very fierce quarrel over whether to continue the old system of imperial warships and use laser weapons as the main weapon of the new warships, or to switch to electromagnetic guns.
After all, at that time, the most advanced electromagnetic cannon known had a speed of only about 17,000 kilometers per second, which was far lower than the speed at which a laser flew in a vacuum. Lasers are light, and the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, which no mass object can surpass.
The problem is that the Empire can equip space battleships with laser cannons to fight space pirates and even the warships of the Republic of Camura, but it is difficult for Camilla to use laser cannons to destroy the Empire's warships.
At that time, the Empire's space warships were still the most advanced in the whole galaxy, and the content of solar metal in the armor was still the highest.
The laser cannon that can destroy the space pirates and even the space battleships of the two coalition forces is only enough to make one or two insignificant holes in the body of the Imperial warship. Only the Electromagnetic Cannon has enough power to destroy the Empire's behemoths.
It's a pity that the speed of the electromagnetic cannon is too slow, and the hits in space are touching.
In short, there are advantages and disadvantages to both, and Camura's military leadership is arguing over which is better or worse.
The two programs had their own supporters in the army, and the leaders of the two factions were none other than the two political and military stars of the Republic of Camura, Amuri and Valentin, who later led the Republic of Camura's Republic to victory in World War I.
Amuri is desperately in favor of the electromagnetic cannon, and Valentin is resolutely in favor of the laser cannon, and both sides are extremely tough. In addition, it was mixed into the chaebol struggle, resulting in both factions refusing to back down in the slightest. And the empire's 500,000 crusading army is also approaching step by step under the leadership of the Marquis of Alexander.
The situation became more and more critical, and Houzhen almost put the nascent republic into a situation from which it could never recover.
By the time the two factions thought it was time to reconcile quickly, the Empire's huge fleet approached Moshen and would soon reach the second asteroid belt, but the Republic had not even decided on the design of the warship.
The situation is critical.
Fortunately, at this time, a scientist whose real name was unknown suddenly stood up. He not only settled the dispute between the two factions once and for all, but also turned the tide and helped the republic easily win the ensuing war of independence.
He was the Marquis of Beria-Marcel, the first hero of the Republic's War of Independence.
Marcel, who was still a count at the time, succeeded in developing a very special device by taking advantage of the second important property of solar metal, which was not familiar to the world at that time, the high-dimensional property.
As we all know, the only factor that affects the magnitude of the inertia of a substance is the mass of the substance. The greater the mass the greater the inertia, and the vice versa the smaller. The more massive the substance, the greater the force required to change its direction or velocity.
Therefore, in order to continue to increase the speed ceiling of the shells, it is necessary to either continue to forcibly increase the energy supply and increase the electric field thrust, or to continue to reduce the mass of the shells, and by that time both options have already hit the ceiling. The battleship could not squeeze more energy into the battery, and the shells could not be smaller.
After repeated arduous experiments, other relevant experts failed to break through the bottleneck and had to give up in despair. They all said that even if they broke through, they couldn't improve their speed too much and couldn't play a decisive role.
But Marcel didn't believe in evil!
While other experts were busy helping the officials of the Joint Operations Command to fight against differences, he was still indomitable and silently continued to carry out painstaking and related research.
Finally, just as the second asteroid belt was about to be shrouded in the shadow of huge steel floating from the Empire, Marcel succeeded in taking advantage of the fact that the mass of matter will be further reduced after high-dimensional transformation, and invented a high-dimensional lightweight specialized device that can greatly reduce the weight of artillery shells.
In this way, without increasing the supply of energy and reducing the volume of shells, the army of the republic managed to significantly reduce the mass of shells!
Overnight, the upper limit of the cannon speed of the Blue Sun Galaxy electromagnetic cannon was increased from more than 17,000 kilometers per second to more than 30,000 kilometers per second that shocked the world, nearly doubling to one-tenth of the speed of light.
This not only solved the problem of "the speed and power of the main guns of the battleship could not be taken into account", but also caused an incalculable and far-reaching impact on the future of the whole world after the war, that is, after the War of Independence.
Later, when the Imperial Raiding Force approached the second asteroid belt, due to the radiation light emitted by the high-dimensional influence of the new cannonballs, coupled with the high speed, it looked like a straight golden laser, and the Marquis Alexander, who was holding the thick armor of his battleship, said the following world-famous stupid words:
"All ships must not evade, pay attention, dodging is insulting to His Majesty's majesty, and I order all ships not to make any evasive actions."
So, just when Alexander wondered if the laser seemed to be too slow, the Imperial troops slowed down, did not dodge, and were beaten by the golden meteor swarm into countless fireballs hotter than the sun, and released the most expensive, gorgeous, and most influential fireworks of the century.
This is the extremely famous "First Zambaruk Defensive Battle" in history, also known as the "Zambaruk Victory".
In this battle, all 246 space warships of the Empire were destroyed, and the bones of 500,000 officers and soldiers of the Imperial Crusade Force were gone. The empire itself was gloomy and bleak, and the undercurrent was surging, and the famous "50,000 forced palace" incident broke out.
Camilla and Zifeng officially announced the success of the founding of the country and the official restoration of the republic, and the whole country carnivaled, sang and laughed, and even the Heather Federation, which was still undecided, was also jubilant. The people of various settlements, who have been exploited and oppressed by the empire for many years, have finally looked forward to the day when this dawn will come.
And in this legendary battle, the great electromagnetic cannon that played a decisive role and completely ended the cruel colonial rule of the empire is the originator of the Glory series - "Glory-1". It has been called by some historians "the most glorious and great weapon of destruction in history, and the glorious sword of defending the democratic republic".
The reason why Marcel is called the "Father of Glory" actually has an extremely important second meaning - "the father of the Republic of Glory".
