Singapore Fort.
"What's going on? It's battery 71 that exploded......" The people who were cleaning up the scene nearby were taken aback.
Some commanders hurriedly called the battery to inquire, but they couldn't get through. Not to mention that the communication system has been destroyed, even if it is intact, there is no way to answer inside. At that moment, the people in the turret had already been turned into scum by the powerful energy.
"Boom ......" It was only then that everyone on the ground heard a muffled thunderous sound from the air.
The kinetic warhead was moving much faster than sound, and the sonic boom of breaking the sound barrier was only heard on the ground a few minutes after it hit the target.
One of the officers looked up and froze.
I saw that there were dozens of long pale black cloud pillars in the sky all of a sudden, which were traces produced by the vaporization of the heat-proof shell, and if it was at night, these traces would be more conspicuous, that is, meteors.
"What is this......" As soon as the officer's voice fell, several meteors had already hit the ground.
One of them was landing near him, and in just a moment, he was torn apart by the powerful shockwave into pieces not much larger than a molecule.
"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom, boom......, boom, boom" As the "meteor" continued to fall, the Singapore fortress once again resounded with earth-shattering explosions, and mushroom clouds sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although the dust effect caused by kinetic weapons is far less than that of thermobaric bombs, it also disables all conventional optical observation systems. At this time, long-range infrared imaging, synthetic aperture radar, blue-green laser, magnetic field detection, neutrino detection, ...... And so on and so on and so on These probe instruments continuously relay the results through a data link to the Leibu-1 space station in space.
The central intelligence computer of Leibu-1 began to calculate the results of various observations and construct the most accurate report on the effectiveness of the strike.
Soon, reports of the first wave of attacks came out.
"One, six, thirteen...... All targets destroyed, No. 2 and No. 9 ...... Partially destroyed targets, Five, Seventeen...... Deviation from the target ......"
"Circumferential error 19 m to 58 m ......"
"Strike depth 173 to 467 meters ......"
"Power Assessment, 86 to 564 Tons of Equivalent ......"
As various data continued to be displayed on the main screen, the command cabin was already cheering.
"Success, success, we succeeded!" the scientists and siege lions hugged each other with a smile.
Su Luoyun's face turned purple with excitement, and he said to Wen Zebin: "Director Wen, your design is very successful! With this kind of thing, my country will be invincible!"
Wen Zebin smiled very reservedly: "But at the moment, this weapon is not perfect, its error is still too big and not accurate enough." Therefore, it can only hit large fixed targets, and cannot pose much threat to moving targets and small fixed targets. I want to develop a more accurate kinetic weapon capable of striking moving targets. Moreover, it is also a little more expensive and cannot be used like conventional shells. ”
He calmly pointed out the shortcomings, and as a thing he designed, he was of course very clear about the advantages and disadvantages.
Yes, this thing is not cheap at all, because the falling speed is too fast, several times faster than that of intercontinental missiles, and the ablation in the atmosphere is much worse than that of returning satellites and spacecraft, so a better heat protection system and thermal insulation are needed, otherwise it will be burned directly. Moreover, it is necessary not only to ensure that the body of the missile is not burned, but also to ensure that the various guidance and communication instruments on it can work normally and will not be burned.
To achieve such an effect, the price is naturally not cheap. Whether it's those new thermal insulation layers or heat-resistant enclosures, or instruments that can withstand high temperatures and high overloads, they are expensive things. Besides, tungsten itself is not cheap, and this tungsten-carbon alloy has to be smelted in space, and this effect cannot be achieved on the ground. All things considered, even the cheapest guided kinetic artillery shells are more expensive than missiles of the same weight used on the ground. Not to mention kinetic missiles.
"Hahahaha, Director Wen, your requirements are too high. If we all finish our work, why do we need other troops to do it?" Su Luoyun laughed happily: "Space-based kinetic energy weapons are our hole cards, of course, they are used to deal with high-value targets, and it is not a big deal if we can't hit moving targets, and there are all kinds of guided weapons on the ground." Our mission is to deal with the perverted turtle shells everywhere, the increasingly strong underground fortifications, and the strike at some important locations in the heart of the enemy country. ”
Indeed, space-based kinetic weapons are indeed not very suitable for striking moving targets, because its speed is too fast, the temperature in the descent stage is extremely high, and the gravitational acceleration is too great, making many guidance methods unusable, especially at the end, when it is too late to make adjustments. At the same time, because the speed is too fast, the guidance effect is not too good. Therefore, it is only suitable for hitting relatively large fixed targets, such as factories, military camps, large buildings and large facilities, etc.
Although there are minor problems with accuracy, space-based kinetic weapons have several obvious advantages over other weapons.
The first advantage is that it has a wide range of strikes, and its strike range can cover non-mobile targets in any region of the world, and targets in any region are within its strike range, without any dead ends, and there is no hinterland.
The second advantage is the short reaction time. From leaving orbit to striking on the ground, it takes only two minutes for an electromagnetic gun, about 10 minutes for a missile, and a quarter to one-twentieth of the reaction time of an ICBM.
The third advantage is strong penetration ability and high concealment. Due to its extremely high speed (more than Mach 20), it can effectively break through the enemy's multi-layered defense system. At present, other countries do not have any effective means of defense against such high-speed attacks from overhead. At the same time, due to the angle, its attack is even difficult to detect, because none of the countries have radars shining above their heads.
The fourth advantage is survivability. Satellite platforms equipped with kinetic weapons are usually in orbits of 1,000 kilometers above the ground, far beyond the attack range of ordinary aircraft and missiles. At present, except for China, no country has such combat capability.
The fifth advantage, of course, is that it is very powerful. When a solid shell weighing two or three tons falls to the ground, it can cause damage equivalent to tens to hundreds of tons of equivalent.
This is equivalent to a tactical nuclear weapon. However, compared with nuclear weapons, its biggest advantage is that it has less environmental pollution and does not produce radiation and radioactive contamination. It can even be said that there is no pollution at all, and it is even more unscrupulous to use.
This is also the reason why Wen Desi vigorously developed space-based weapons, and whoever masters space can control the earth.
And the shortcomings of insufficient accuracy and inability to hit moving targets are not insurmountable. You can hit the target when it stops. For example, when the convoy is parked, the ship is docked, and the plane is at the airport, or the method of saturation attack is adopted, hundreds and ten are thrown in one go, and there is always one to be rubbed, with the power of this thing, as long as it is rubbed, even the best battleship has to kneel down and sing about conquest after two shots.
At this time, the chief of communications reported: "Station commander, the command ordered us to stop the attack, and the British surrendered......"
"Uh, this is surrendering?" Su Luoyun was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "These damn cowards, we surrendered after only a few rounds!
Everyone rolled their eyes a little when they heard this. Nima, it's only been a few rounds? This is a meteor shower, who has been hit? It's not easy for the British to survive until now, okay?
........................................................................
Singapore.
At this time, the famous fortress, known as the "first fortress in the Far East", had already raised the white flag. Because the front was so badly bombed, there was no flagpole to be found outside, so they found a few water pipes instead, and the flag was a few white sheets.
Yes, the British surrendered. After two waves of meteor showers, they really couldn't bear it.
Let's not forget, this force was not all British, but a coalition of seven or eight countries. It's okay for this kind of army to fight a good fight, but once it encounters difficulties, it will shrink its eggs, and no one wants to be cannon fodder. If you want to say that you died to defend your family and country, then you can still say the past, but Malaya doesn't lose my bird business, why does Lao Tzu want to give Malaya his life?
This was the idea not only of the Coalition forces, but also of the British. In front of them, they had already ********been blown up by giant ground-penetrating bombs and giant thermobaric bombs, and their morale was almost at the bottom. After two rounds of meteor showers, I was directly scared to pee, where can I bear it?
If Lieutenant General Percival does not surrender again, it is estimated that someone will shoot him with a black gun. If you want to die by yourself, don't drag us to the funeral.
Lieutenant General Wang Qiu, commander of the Fourth Army, was standing on a high ground on the northern side of the Straits of Johor, looking across with a telescope. Seeing the Singapore Fortress, which had been blown to pieces and was in ruins, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this is really miserable, so many ruins have to be cleaned up for a long time......"
"Commander, Lieutenant General Percival of the British Army has arrived...... a staff officer reminded from the side.
Wang Qiu turned his head to look, and sure enough, a group of British soldiers with white flags were heading towards this side in two rubber boats. A thin old man in a full British general's dress stood upright at the bow of the ship. This Mr. Commander can be said to have a strong character, and under such rounds of attacks, he didn't even lose a single hair.
"Oh, here we are. Let's go, let's go down and prepare for the surrender ceremony......"
A simple surrender ceremony was then held on the beach in the Straits of Johor, where Lieutenant General Percival surrendered to the Chinese People's Liberation Army on behalf of the defenders of the Singapore fort, and he handed over his saber to the Chinese representative Wang Qiu, as was customary.
After signing the instrument of surrender, he asked Wang Qiu to treat the wounded. "Your Excellency General, there are wounded soldiers in the fortress, they need treatment, we don't have enough doctors, they need your help very much!"
Wang Qiu nodded: "Of course, we will do our best." China is a civilized country, and our army is also a civilized army, so as long as you lay down your arms and cooperate with our receiving operations, we will naturally abide by the Geneva Conventions. After saying that, he ordered the people from the group army hospital to hurry over and help.
Subsequently, Wang Qiu graciously invited Percival to have afternoon tea with him.
"General Wang, can I know what weapon defeated us?" Percival asked with some curiosity as he took a sip of his black tea. For those things that fell like meteor showers, it was too much for him to imagine.
"A special kind of bomb. It is the weapon of our rocket army. I can't tell you more specific information, because I don't know very well, I'm an army ......," Wang Qiu blinked his eyes and said very sincerely.
