Chapter 209: Stellar Strategy
"Gentlemen, the matter of seeds is just one of the important things to be discussed today, and now let's discuss the main topic of this meeting, for those alien enemies, how should this war empire be fought? How can we make our empire win? ”
The Führer's serious voice echoed through the conference room.
The Empire has not been at war with other alien civilizations, although for so many years, it has been a show that aliens have organized fleets as imaginary enemies, however, it is only a mirror play of dividing a fleet into two groups with the same equipment, the same technology, the same tactics, and the same strategy.
The head of state, who has been watching the performance of the battle fleet all year round, can deduce from just a few glances at the personnel allocation and the assembly of warships that the fleet will win in the exercise, what tactics will be used to win, and even who and which warship will play an important role in the exercise.
But now...... The Führer was a little blind, this was not an exercise, it was a real battle, and the opponent was an alien enemy who was very different from the Serens in terms of physical and tactical thinking, and the military knowledge of the past seemed to have become useless garbage.
"We have discussed this issue in private, but none of them can effectively guarantee the 'victory of the Empire', until His Excellency Neil's explanation of the plan for sub-light speed travel just now, we finally have a clue."
In order to facilitate the explanation, General Mopsch swiped his fingertips on the table, and the projection of the star system in which the empire was located appeared in front of everyone.
"This is our star system, according to the battle report from the Fourth Fleet, even the strongest ground combat body in the empire is still unable to achieve a partial victory on the ground with the fleet's air fire support, so we don't have any delusions about the colony star."
"Führer, if the Empire wants to win, it must destroy the Colonial Star."
With that, the generals' eyes turned to the Führer, seeking his consent.
It didn't take long for the generals to hear the Führer's answer.
"A habitable planet dominated by the enemy, even if it is a paradise, has no value to the Empire, but is a scourge."
Approved in disguise, Mopsch continued what he had just said.
"Even if the strategic direction is to destroy the colony star, this is not an easy task, in order to completely destroy the planet and even the enemies within the planet, the imperial fleet needs to use a lot of explosions."
"The distance of the blast can not be too far, it will give the enemy enough time to intercept, the distance that can be dropped is too close, it will inevitably suffer from the enemy's sub-light speed strike, and also consider food supply, the consumption of the life support system, the replacement of spare parts, etc., without the mothership class as a transportation logistics unit, various types of warships need to sacrifice a lot of load, and at the same time, the mental pressure of the crew will also increase......"
"And what about the enemy? They are sitting on the material resources of an entire planet, and it can even be understood that it is a planet-level mothership-class, and it is clear that the Empire's organization of a fleet fǎn gōng colonization star is not of high viable value, and the Empire needs a new strategic way to wipe out the enemy and the planet from this star system. ”
According to Mopsch's description, there are many warships in the projection, the number is as high as 100,000, but there is no mothership class, this fleet is attacking the colony star, but the enemy's sub-light shells have no time to dodge, and soon they are destroyed one after another, until the whole army is annihilated, only sporadic explosions hit the target, and most of the explosions are intercepted, which is not enough to cause any serious damage.
This is the result of computer calculations and simulations, space warfare is not better than land operations, literal data is more of reference value, in such a large-scale battlefield, the fight is equipment technology, tactical use, there will never be a situation where the morale of one side rises, and the disadvantage is immediately reversed.
The Führer and those scientific chiefs did not speak, but quietly waited for the next words of the generals.
"Just now, the sub-light speed sailing scheme proposed by Lord Neil, which uses a pulse beam formed by large focusing lenses to concentrate light to accelerate the projectile, has given us an inspiration, why do we have to insist on sending a fleet to attack the colony star? In the end, it is enough to destroy the colonies. ”
"We only need to make a focusing lens that is large enough, and the enemy and the planet they occupy will not be vaporized directly under the ultra-high-energy pulse beam? We called this the 'Stellar Strategy'. ”
The Führer looked at the focal lens that wrapped half of the star in the projection, and replied.
"Let's not consider the feasibility of manufacturing it, it is impossible for the enemy to lose sight of such a big thing, the intention is too obvious, and they will definitely stop it."
"Yes, we know that, but how do they stop it? Coming in a colony star? Obviously it can't be done, it's a planet, and if it could be done, they wouldn't have been frozen in the first place. ”
The generals are extremely confident in their plan, because as long as such a focusing lens is established, there is nothing in the entire star system that cannot be destroyed.
The scientific chiefs were discussing the earth-shattering brains proposed by the generals one after another, and the plan for the Empire's victory was already there, but it was not feasible now.
This is undoubtedly a very challenging physics subject, because the electromagnetic force of planetary objects alone has been weakened to a fairly weak degree, and the planets are brought together by gravity, and if the electromagnetic force on the planetary scale is still strong, then the universe will be full of planets of any shape imaginable.
However, the basic law of the universe is like this, the electromagnetic force at the planetary scale is so weak that it is almost negligible, let alone the stellar scale, relying on gravity and nuclear explosions to maintain the shape, and it has nothing to do with the electromagnetic force.
"Führer, we don't have the technology to do 100 percent of this strategic plan, but there is still no problem with more than 90 percent."
"Ninety percent?"
The Führer looked at the chief of science who spoke suspiciously, and he could not quite understand what the other party meant by more than 90 percent.
The Chief Science explained.
"Trying to achieve a stellar scale building is a fantasy for the current empire, and the huge stress and gravitational force of the structure, as well as the shear force caused by different latitudes, etc., many factors doomed us to not be able to build such huge objects."
"But we can make a compromise, we can make a lot of small lenses, arrange them in the orbit of the star, and combine them into a cluster array of approximately focused lenses, covering half of the star, although it is not as 100% focused as in the projection, but more than 90% of the pulse power can still be guaranteed."
