Xia Ming didn't even participate in the exercise with the Golden Crow, he and Professor Xu buried their heads in the weaponization research of Zhiyin's core, and Anson took the four battle group leaders to the battle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The exercise was not live-fire, and the space warships and Younas drones were equipped with laser transponders and set a ballistic delay to simulate the shooting of electromagnetic guns. The laser cannon is turned down in power, and the transponder indicates the damage.

Around the battlefield are a number of engineering drones, loaded with various detection equipment, which act as sensors for the exercise referee system jointly supported by Sun Wu and Sun Xing.

On the USS Mississippi, the captain firmly issued an order to the combat staff officer: "Switch to self-discipline mode, and set the calculation parameters of the fire exclusion zone to the minimum." ”

If you still rely on the terahertz communication system **********, maybe you will be taken advantage of by the Star Alliance warships, although the switch to self-discipline mode will make the drone's adaptability weaker, it is difficult to see through the traps, and it cannot cope with complex tactical strategies, but it has a numerical advantage, and it is the king to directly press it.

On the other hand, the fire exclusion zone has great restrictions on the tactical use of drone swarms, and Younas's drones are large in number, mainly using kinetic weapons, and accidental damage from friendly fire is unavoidable. For this reason, Younas's intelligence of the drone has set a number of parameters related to the fire exclusion zone, and the minimum parameter is equivalent to letting the drone only pay attention to whether it will attack the nearest friendly force in the firing range when firing, and ignore whether the shell will hit the friendly army in the distance after flying away.

The strategy of the captain of the USS Mississippi was simple, go all out, regardless of the losses, and there would be no real losses anyway.

This is not a trick or a crazy move, if the parameter is set to zero, the drone swarm will not take friendly damage into account at all, making the battle more like a gamble: betting that the drone swarm will not have time to kill the target before it can kill itself.

The Mississippi resembles a recumbent melodica, and the drones erupt from the fence-like ejection tunnels on both sides of the ship, converging into three groups of three warships.

The warhammer destroyer from An Daoyuan's brigade, as the officers talked about in the channel, started the rocket engine in the center of the stern of the fungus umbrella, which is the afterburner engine, and the heavy ion engine is also running at full capacity, and rushed towards the drone group in a daze.

The tail of the battleship burst out with a cloud of orange and yellow light flames, and then pulled out a belt of turquoise light, at that moment, the G force in the cabin was estimated to reach more than 20g, but relying on the control of the body by the consciousness activity above lv2, as well as the load reduction effect of the Star Alliance combat spacesuit, such an overload is still within the range that the crew can bear.

The drastic speed change makes the advance of the drone swarm suddenly stagnate, and their intelligence has to recalculate the target trajectory, estimate the position, and then adjust the action.

It's like a rookie pilot was stunned by the ace's stunts, taking advantage of this opportunity, the warhammer has rushed to the front of the drone group for more than ten kilometers, and the railgun and laser cannon are fully fired, destroying three drones in one shot. By the time the drone maneuvered in place and was ready to open fire, there were multiple allies in front of the muzzle, in addition to the butt of the warhammer.

Even the setting of the minimum parameters has allowed a considerable number of drones to choose not to fire, and most of the sparse simulated ballistics are submerged in the tail flame of the warhammer, and only a few rounds have accuracy, but they are bounced off by the kinetic defense system of the warhammer.

The so-called kinetic defense system is actually a man-made electromagnetic cannon and a ******, and the warhammer is several times larger than the Younas drone, and there is enough space to load powerful intelligence. Long-distance kinetic energy bombs are intercepted with electromagnetic guns, and close-range kinetic energy bombs are intercepted with steel ball clouds.

The limited space of the drone not only makes the intelligence loaded as comparable to that of a war hammer, but also cannot be equipped with more weapons, which cannot constitute such a three-dimensional defense system.

The warhammer penetrates the drone swarm and heads in the direction of the drone mothership. The drone swarm activated the afterburner one after another, bursting out with orange and yellow flames, and the group scattered into a large net, swinging towards the war hammer from all angles.

Compared with the warhammer, the UAV is not of the same order of magnitude in terms of firepower, protection, intelligence, and even speed is not dominant, the only thing that beats the warhammer is only maneuverability, they do not have to consider the overload resistance of the crew.

However, this kind of maneuverability is not unlimited, before the emergence of super black technology such as anti-gravity, the long-lasting combat ability of drones is far from being comparable to that of a war hammer, whether it is acceleration or maneuvering, it requires working fluid. The rocket engine used for acceleration can only run for a few seconds, and is usually used in several very short accelerations, because the fuel that can be loaded is limited.

The warhammer was caught by the drone, and the kinetic defense system quickly went into full load, and if it continued, it would be broken. Just when everyone thought that the warhammer was going to accelerate again, rushing straight to the mothership hundreds of kilometers away, and solving the problem with the approaching rapid fire that the mothership defense system could not cope with, they didn't expect the attitude of its head to adjust the engine to full output, pull out an arc, accelerate again, and cut to the outer edge of the drone swarm.

The next performance of the Warhammer destroyer surprised both sides, it always kept a sufficient distance from the drones, and again and again violently accelerated and changed direction, each time it was able to win a more ideal shooting window, shoot down two to four drones, and at the same time tow the drone swarm to complete a maneuver that required the use of afterburner engines.

The drone swarm quickly ran out of fuel for the afterburner engines and could no longer close the distance between the two sides, keeping the accuracy of the shot above the set standard. Intelligence chose to increase the probability of hitting the hammer through a long-range salvo that was packed together, and the offensive and defensive postures of both sides also changed.

72, before the Warhammer was destroyed by the drone's heavy artillery fire, it destroyed 72 drones, a number that greatly boosted the Star Alliance Space Force, and Younas gasped.

"The reaction is too slow! Much dumber than a drone in a virtual system! ”

"We're big and have better stamina, so we move around the periphery, constantly maneuvering, making their intelligence too big to cope with, and consuming their fuel."

"The firing window won by each maneuver is very wide, and I think a three-ship squad can easily solve three hundred drones! One squadron of nine ships will be able to tackle one of Younas's motherships! ”

The crew of Warhammer happily shared their experiences on the channel, which made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief, and it was right to think that the combat environment in the virtual system was sketchy, and the performance of drone intelligence was much stronger than in reality.

While Warhammer was gone, the other two battlefields continued.

Compared with the battlehammer destroyer's wide opening and closing, simple and refreshing battle, the battle of the female cicada destroyer is much more literary and elegant. This destroyer, which is almost indistinguishable from head to tail, has two afterburner engine vents, and the number of attitude adjustment engines is twice that of the Warhammer destroyer, and in terms of maneuverability, it is like a drone that has been magnified several times.

The crew's tactics brought the characteristics and advantages of the female cicada into full play, they let the destroyer blend into the drone swarm, relying on the intelligently calculated maneuver mode, always keeping themselves in the dead end of the drone swarm's gun line, and at the same time using the drones in the inner circle to block the artillery fire in the outer ring.

It looked like a butterfly, flying up and down among the swarms of flies, and every maneuver seemed extremely dangerous, but it cleverly avoided the shells. For the intelligence of the destroyer, the so-called artillery fire is nothing more than an extension of the lines of fire, and in a limited space, it is not too difficult to calculate the changes of hundreds of lines. Maneuvering the hull through these lines, planning maneuver curves and schemes, not only within the scope of the destroyer's intelligence, but also the performance of the destroyer itself can keep up.

When the Warhammer destroyer exited with a record of 1:72, the female cicada destroyer's record had already reached 1:95, and it was still increasing at a rate of one every two or three seconds, and it was not a problem to break through 100.

Compared to the Warhammer Destroyer as a swordsman playing with a bayone, and the Female Cicada as a shadow dancer with a dagger and a dagger, the Morningstar Assault is like a mace-wielding fighter.

The Morningstar assault ship is designed as a landing ship for broadside or as a fireship for dropping massive missiles. In this exercise, considering that even smart missiles are likely to be banned by the enemy by some means, so they were not used, and it is impossible for the Morningstar assault ship to engage with the drone, and its performance is the least optimistic.

This kind of assault ship is to install three cylinders with a length of more than 20 meters and a diameter of 3 meters in front of the hull of the warhammer destroyer, which are used to accommodate combat robots on the side or to load missiles. In the onboard mode, you can carry 300 combat robots, and in the fire mode, you can load 120 heavy missiles. Either way, it is not possible to effectively deal with UAVs.

The results were a little better than expected, and the Morning Star assault ship, although it was the first to leave, also destroyed 24 drones. Moreover, in the battle, it used the anchor hook configured in the loading compartment to capture the drone at close range, which also opened Younas's eyes, and the Star Alliance also realized that it was originally only used as an anchor hook for docking or rescue, and it could still be used like this.

When the female cicada ran out of fuel from the afterburner engine and could no longer take advantage of maneuvering, and was finally overwhelmed by the drone swarm, more than forty minutes had passed since the start of the battle, and the record was locked at 1:147.

3:243, only three manned destroyers, several times larger than drones, took out more than a quarter of the standard carrying capacity of a mothership, and they were still fighting alone, and did not aim to destroy the mothership. During this time, the mothership was at full power, and it could only be equipped with more than forty UAVs, plus the self-replenishment of the battlefield, it could not make up for the losses at all.

The Commanders of Younas, who were watching the battle, looked very bad, just like the wild words released by the crew of the Warhammer destroyer, these three battleships did not fight separately, but formed a team, and there was a considerable chance of breaking through the drone's blockade and posing a serious threat to the mothership. If you change to a nine-ship squadron, you don't have to fight, the mothership has no chance.

"The enemy's drones will not only be at the level of our drones, weapons, protection, and maneuverability will definitely exceed a lot, and I think that such an exercise is actually not of much significance."

At the end of the first phase of the exercise, at the high-level meeting between the two sides, Huang Yanxing happily admitted the shortcomings of the Younas UAV fleet, but as soon as the conversation changed, he pushed this deficiency onto the Star Alliance, and the sarcasm Star Alliance actually used this exercise to show Younas a sense of superiority, not for the subsequent war.

Anson nodded, not caring about Huang Yanxing's sarcasm: "That's for sure, but the combat mode of the drone sea should be the same, the difference is only the response speed and consideration range of intelligence, the speed and maneuverability of the drone, and the power of the weapon." These elements will suppress the range of maneuver and firing window of our warships from all sides, but the overall structure will not differ much. ”

Chief of Staff Li asked: "Why do you think that the incoming drone sea will be attacked?" The fact sheet you sent ......"

He shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassedly: "We don't fully understand. ”

"Fact sheets are official documents, and they have to be very precise, which is why there are so many terms," says Anson, "and if I had to use an analogy, this is how the situation should be." ”

"The Stargate we are in now is like a deep cave. The enemy is strong, but because it's too big, it can't get in on its own, so it will find other ways. For example, if you have an elephant's trunk, you can put your nose in, and if your tail is very powerful, you will stick your tail in. Or it picks up a branch and reaches into the cave to dig it out. ”

"Considering that the wreckage of the Matt Ball Biological Planet was done by it, and the Matt Ball Planet is actually formed by the fusion of countless individuals, we assume that it will take local materials and transform these Matt Ball Lives into a large number of biochemical robots, infiltrate the star gate, and pollute the body of Qianyi, of course, we defenders are the priority targets."

"Why don't you just stuff the giant Matt Ball Planet directly into the fused one? That's because the hole is too small. Qianyi can block the movement of the thinking strings above a certain scale, just like we can use our fingers to resist the hammer, but we can't resist a needle, the movement of the thinking strings below this scale is microscopic for Qianyi, and she can't stop it. ”

What is the origin of the enemy and what kind of goal it has, Anson is actually not very clear, and some details are only known to Xia Ming, Best, Professor Xu and others. But he understands the overall situation, and Huang Yanxing and other Younas executives also understand this explanation.

Huang Yanxing asked again: "Then are you sure that you can deal with the new technology of the Younas drone, and you can also deal with those biochemical robots?" ”

"Not sure, but it's going to have to try," Anson said, spreading his hand.

What progress has Starlink made in terahertz technology to deal with the existence of the UAV Sea?

This question is the main drama of today, and everyone wants to know what technology will be used to restrain the sea of drones, which is almost omnipotent in science fiction works.

If such a technology really works, it will be a joke for whoever writes science fiction in the future and pulls out the drone sea as a big killer.

Thinking deeper, since such technology can restrain the sea of drones, it will naturally be able to restrain robots, the so-called mechanical civilization, silicon-based life, and all kinds of old science fiction concepts will also disappear.

"So let's get started, let your mothership unleash all the drones and launch a general assault on our fleet."

Anson's tone was not very firm either, which made Younas's higher-ups feel a little calm. If this technology comes true, they, Younas, will have to throw away the already sizable fleet of drones and start all over again.

Anson added: "And ...... If there is any loss, we will compensate for it in full. ”

This made the Younas higher-ups uneasy again......

When everything is ready. The twelve motherships released nearly 10,000 drones, pulled out a battle line three or four thousand kilometers wide, and swooped straight towards the fleet of the Star Alliance Space Force.

The second stage is a synthetic exercise, simulating a large-scale engagement between the Star Alliance fleet and the UAV Sea, and the magic weapon that Anson said will not be used in this stage, and will have to wait until the third stage.

Facing this wave of drones were more than a hundred warhammers, thirty Morning Stars, and ten female cicadas. Although the two sides did not engage in a real battle, they simply maneuvered, turning this cosmic space into a splendid and colorful place.

The Star Alliance warships were divided into several small groups and rushed into the sea of drones, like large warships with excellent maneuverability. It soon became clear that the UAVs had a high rate of accidental damage, and the sheer number of them limited the use of firepower. Commander Younas broke the jar and simply set the parameters of the firepower forbidden area to zero, although the loss of the Star Alliance warship was accelerated, but the cost was that the loss of the drone increased several times.

An hour later, the situation was already one-sided, with half of the Star-United warships lost, and the Younas drones were left with less than a thousand left.

"Okay, that's it for this stage, the result is what everyone expected......"

Anson graciously didn't beat the Reservoir Dogs, allowing Younas to save the last bit of face, and then he announced that he was entering the third phase.

The drone, which was judged to be damaged by the referee system, moved and regrouped into the position it had when it first attacked.

At this time, on a Morning Star assault ship, a pale blue ripple that could clearly see the phenomenon of photon escape fell on the drone across a distance of thousands of kilometers.

The ripples are like radar waves, scanning at extremely fast frequencies, and every time they fall on a drone, they are fixed as a light blue light, and hundreds of rays are pulled out in an instant. At the end of each ray of light is a drone.

The light was only present for less than a second, and then Younas Command was drowned out by communications from the various motherships.

"Communication is down! Unable to restore the connection! ”

"The autonomic mode fails, like the chip burned out!"

"How can a silicon carbide chip burn out! What logic bomb should have destroyed the program! ”

"Even if you're a hacker, you have to follow the basic rules! In autonomous mode, drones do not accept external signals, and chips and circuits also have protection and isolation systems, how did they invade? ”

The intelligence of the drone failed, it was as simple as that, a somewhat strange wave of radio swept by, and then it was paralyzed.

Huang Yanxing and the other high-level officials of Younas watched the drones lose all their reactions and turn into scrap metal in space, and at that moment they wanted to pull Anson's collar and ask, "What kind of witchcraft is this!?" (To be continued.) )
