Chapter 743: Courage?
The idea of interstellar warfare is very different from that on the ground. Before the target was "seen", the attack was launched. Whether it is a cannonball or a pillar of light, it needs to fly in space for more than 0.7 years! This is unimaginable in the terrestrial era! On the ground, 0.7 years, enough time for a major campaign; However, in space, 0.7 years is just the time for weapons to fly!
Yes, you read that right, the war of the universe is not simply a digital stack. Now the spacecraft formations of the two sides are about 1 light-year apart; The speed of the human railcannon's cannons is about 0.8 times the speed of light, and the speed of the energy cannon of the Holy Sun Empire is the speed of light. At the same time, the human spaceship and the shipship of the Holy Sun Empire were constantly getting closer.
It would seem that if it were a low-speed war, the weapons of the two sides would meet in half a year and 0.55 years, but in fact, it would be 0.79 years before the weapons of both sides could hit each other - if they were really accurate.
Speed and time, coupled with complex changes in time and space, make the war between universes not only complicated, but also a great test of the scientific level of civilization and the insight and foresight of the commander!
On the spaceship of the Holy Sun Empire, wave after wave of energy cannons were constantly emitted. Energy weapons have the advantage of having a very small reaction force, allowing the ship to launch continuously without having to adjust its state.
And the human physical rail cannon weapon, although the physical impact is very terrifying, but correspondingly, it is in response to killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred! The reaction force is also very fatal; The tremendous reaction force constantly weakens the speed of the ship, and even the acceleration of the engine cannot compensate for it. After all. The power of the rail cannon is simply too great! It's bigger than you can imagine.
However, since it is a war, it is necessary to use wisdom to rush forward, which looks like a fierce momentum, but it is an act of sending to death; As a senior cosmic war commander, Mo Wentian was able to take advantage of every bit of advantage. Launch rails, artillery guides, and spacecraft formations slow down? It doesn't matter, that's what you want, only in this way can the enemy not be able to fully accurately grasp the whereabouts of humans.
Mo Wentian believed that since the enemy dared to invade human civilization. So it can be said. The other party's technology is absolutely beyond imagination. Perhaps, although the two sides are now a light year apart, the other side should have already mastered the movement of their side. So. The problem of how to take advantage of the large scale of the universe and the distortion of space-time. Try to "hide" your own whereabouts from the perspective of time and space? Then the reason is simple: irregular movement!
No lateral movement is used. In that way, it will have to turn around, consume a lot of energy, and reduce its own mobility; Just a slight change in speed is enough to change your absolute orientation through the distorted space-time! This is actually an alternative stealth technology, but it requires strong calculations and perfect theoretical support. There also needs to be a good commander who can take advantage of this smartly.
Using different rail cannon launches, different recoil forces, and random acceleration of the engine, Mo Wentian made the speed of the human spaceship constantly change. Such a change is enough to make the enemy's locking deviation tens of thousands of kilometers away!
Although the attacks on both sides have not yet been in place, the fierce battle has actually begun. It's just that this beginning is very weird.
Before you see each other, you have already started to attack! And an offensive that leaves no stone unturned.
And, when the opponent's attack is not detected, it begins to try to dodge and hide irregularly!
I don't know when, a faint energy protection device has appeared in the first half of the spaceship of the human and Sun Empire. Yes, the energy shield only covers the first half, not the whole thing - this is done to save energy. Anyway, in the space war, for the time being, it is the kind of attack weapon that goes straight to the point, so as long as the front defense is done, it is enough. Energy protection technology is a real energy-consuming technology!
In the advanced, almost dreamlike control room, Mo Wentian sat above, and a large number of light curtains around him were constantly refreshed, and all kinds of numbers rolled like flowing water; The accompanying scientists were busy with their feet on the ground, constantly conveying a group of groups of jรน, and then after Mo Wentian and the staff committee designed it, they sent useful information to each fighter. Then, it's about implementation.
In order to get a head start, all the calculations need to be calculated at least ten minutes in advance! This requires computers to have the ability to "extrapolate" the future in the first place! This may seem like a fantasy, but to put it bluntly, it's very simple, inertia! Whether it is energy or the motion of an object, etc., there is a kind of inertia. As long as you can grasp the law of this, you can make a short-term prediction. Such technology is no longer a new technology, but it is only recently, with the outbreak of social science, that a breakthrough has been made. In fact, such a technology is also based on a large number of calculations. However, in order to calculate the inertia of the laws of the universe, or more precisely the laws of the world, it is necessary to have strong theoretical support, strong computing power, and sufficient scientific accumulation.
A lot of techniques are like this, to put it bluntly, it's not worth anything, but if you just look at the results, it will make people feel very mysterious, mysterious and even a little mythical.
However, the spaceships of the two sides are in relative motion, and even the speed of the human spacecraft is limited, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly shortening. Strategic attacks need to be launched a year in advance!
In the empty space and the dark world, in this cold void with no light and about minus 270 degrees, the two fleets are rushing against each other. The cold void cannot hide the fire and passion in the heart.
At a certain moment, the first wave of cannonballs from the human railcannon, the cannonballs fired by the starry sky cannon, and the energy cannons fired by the Holy Sun Empire staggered. But the huge speed makes a wonderful transformation occur when the two meet again!
The speed of each is still the same as before, but the time and space have been distorted. The instantaneous change is so wonderful that with advance preparation, the human probe captured a wonderful picture: at that moment, the universe within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers. Suddenly there were ripples - the empty cosmic space, as if a hazy area appeared out of thin air, could be detected by a probe. It's like a drop of water on the surface of a calm lake, and it suddenly falls into it and begins to spread. It's just that the diffusion in the universe is not the same as the surface of the water, on the plane; Rather, it is three-dimensional and spreads in all directions. But this phenomenon soon disappeared; Just a dozen seconds later, when the two were gone, the time and space here returned to its original state.
At the moment just now, whether it was the cannonball of the energy cannon or the rail cannon, it was within their respective coordinate systems. The speed and time remain the same; However, the two intersect in time and space. The relative velocity of the two is not 1.8 times the speed of light, but 0.9 times the speed of light. After staying away, the impact decreases, and it gradually returns to normal. This slight intersection. But the accuracy has changed.
But. Such an impact. within the scope of human consideration; However, because I don't know when the opponent will attack, although this factor is considered, it is not comprehensive!
Equally. The Sun Empire also knew that such a phenomenon would occur, but it did not know what kind of weapons humans would use to attack, how fast they would attack, and when they would attack, and they could not calculate it effectively.
At this time, the competition is "luck"! Although I don't want to admit it, after all, science is materialistic; However, luck is really a thing.
However, the speed of the staggered attack weapons has not changed, but the direction and so on are inevitably distorted by time and space. I just don't know what the outcome will be.
But this space-time distortion phenomenon also allowed the human side of the earth to detect the light pillar of the energy cannon fired by the enemy in advance. The light blue, rippling energy beams look beautiful, tens of thousands of kilometers long, one after another, in a regular arrangement, enough to ensure the maximum and most effective lethality.
"Launch the rail gun, 100 grams of standard projectiles, fire twice with all your might!" Mo Wentian is unusually calm, although the ultra-long-distance communication technology has detected the enemy's energy cannon for humans in advance, but this powerful energy beam cannot make Mo Wentian fearful - in other words, when he first set off, he had already hung life and death on his waist!
The energy is concentrated, as thick as water, and you can imagine the horror in it. It is estimated that even if the human spaceship has an energy protection device, if it is hit, the consequences will still be unimaginable. Sometimes, it is the quantitative change that reaches the qualitative change, and such a huge amount of energy is frightening. The energy is concentrated and radiates outward at all times. Even if this will lead the energy pillar to only 60% of the energy left after a long flight in space, it is still terrifying.
But Mo Wentian will not be presumptuous, because the human rail cannon, neutron knife, optical and magnetic beam, etc., are all terrifying weapons. It's just that these weapons are more effective in close-quarters combat.
Recalculating and re-locking the target in the direction from which the energy beam came, the human spaceship formation fired two more railguns, and with the help of the reaction force, the spacecraft formation slowed down by one kilometer per second. Such a change in velocity, in theory, can basically get rid of the lock-in of those energy beams. In particular, the direction of these energy beams has changed after being distorted in space-time.
It's just that everything is mutual, the attack of the other side has changed, and the attack of humans has also changed! For the enemy, perhaps such an energy cannon is just their regular attack; However, for people, whether it is the cannonballs fired by the starry sky cannon before, or the cannonballs fired by spaceships, combat saucers, fighter jets, etc., they are all poured out of all human beings!
Mo Wentian closed his eyes and thought quietly. However, in less than ten seconds, I opened my eyes, and my eyes were full of fighting spirit, even if I failed, what could I do! Since the war of aggression is a fact, and it is impossible for mankind to compromise, then I should bravely accept it, instead of lamenting those who have passed!
The past is untraceable; But I'm still sure it didn't happen!
Now, the distance between the two sides is less than 0.5 light years, and such a distance is almost enough to use a modified and powerful optical and magnetic weapon!
"All fighters and flying saucers are ready, we will enter the combat area right away!" Mo Wentian's voice was full of inexplicable excitement, this faint excitement, but inadvertently mobilized the passion of all the fighters.
Tang Qichang, as well as thousands of soldiers, once again climbed onto his fighter jet to prepare for the upcoming battle! (To be continued......)
