Both fleets opened fire almost simultaneously.

The history of Tian Yuan Star has also opened a new page. Starting today, the military war of Tian Yuan Star will officially extend to outer space.

With the order to open fire on both sides, not only the various fleets are paying attention to the results, but even the rear, Zhang Hao and other high-level leaders of all parties, and even the people, are paying attention to the situation of this 'war'.

Over the past few years, the relationship between the three major alliances in the world that is superficially confrontational and actually cooperative has also become public. So now the people are not worried about the world war, but more concerned: who can grab the satellite called 'Legend'?

However, outsiders don't know that the Ocean Group has quietly laid out to the distant Pluto.

The world's Pluto (named after Zhang Hao) has a diameter of 30,000 kilometers, and according to the detection, the texture is similar to that of the 'legendary' moon, with a large water content, and the average ice thickness is hundreds of kilometers in the initial detection place.

But Pluto has even more abundant resources. Mountains up to 10,000 meters high have been discovered on Pluto. On a planet with a diameter of more than 30,000 kilometers, there are mountains of tens of thousands of meters, which are not crushed by gravity. This indicates that the gravitational pull of the planet is low.

In fact, according to the current detection, Pluto is less than 3 points dense, and there is a large amount of solidified carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen, etc. on the surface. But no atmosphere was found on the planet, because it was so cold that the atmosphere froze.

Moreover, the ice on Pluto has an equally significant amount of heavy water. And the overall resource development difficulty here is more convenient than that of the 'Legend' satellite.

However, no magnetic field has been found on Pluto, but the Ocean Group can build artificial bases. And recently, the artificial magnetic field technology of Dayang Group has matured!

However, the development of Pluto has been arranged, and Zhang Hao just waits quietly. What is more important now is to focus on this space war.

Because of the gunpowder weapon, you can see the flame flickering in the muzzle of the gun when the weapon explodes.

The two fleets have begun to shoot frantically. The winner will not only capture the legendary moon, but also receive a huge prize.

This time for the military exercise, at the beginning, the three major alliances jointly allocated 5 billion Ling Yuan. However, later on, various enterprise groups participated, and the cumulative capital reached 7 billion Lingyuan.

Among them, there are 2 billion spirit yuan, which will be used to reward those who perform well in the exercise. But victory itself is the greatest 'excellent'!

Behind the two fleets, there are also three observation and rescue ships sent by the United Nations. The spacecraft is responsible for observing, recording, and judging everyone's performance, as well as carrying out the necessary rescues. However, once rescued, it means 'death on the battlefield', and you cannot return to the exercise.

Time passed, but after more than 24 hours of frenzied firing between the two sides, everyone unanimously ceased fire. Everyone was stunned to find that they didn't hit each other!

In the fleets of ASEAN and the Ocean Group, Murong Shan frowned deeply. In the past 24 hours, an average of 300 attacks per hour were carried out! Even if the shells took 14 hours of flight time, in the first 10 hours, a total of more than 3,000 shells were fired.

You know, now is not the giant ship cannon when the Ocean Group was just developing. At that time, the accuracy of the fight was not accurate, three points were based on the battleship and artillery technology, two points were based on the ability of the gunner, and half was based on luck.

But the current technology, that is rigorously calculated by computers. There is no such complicated and unpredictable weather in space. It's some celestial gravitational pull, etc.

Celestial gravity sounds complicated, but as soon as you start by calculating the rules and entering them into your computer, the computer will automatically correct them.

Therefore, theoretically, the hit rate is not 100%, but 90% is always due.

Now, however, it turned out to be perfect...... No hits!

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Then, this serious question finally weighed on the shoulders of Wang Hong, the representative of the scientific advisory team.

Wang Hong is really capable. He quickly determined: "All of them missed, and it was both of us, so there must be a key factor that was not taken into account." And this factor should be unknown to us at the moment!

If it's just that it's not accurate, so many attacks come down, and it is impossible to miss a single hit!"

Murong Shan also calmed down and nodded slowly, "Yes, it should be so." Science does not allow for sloppiness. So now...... Let's stop attacking and distance ourselves from each other.

Also contact the rear to find the cause.

By the way, enable laser aiming technology, artificial aiming. It is then compared to the computer data. See where the error is. ”

With Murong Shan's order, laser aiming was the first to start. The first set of data was quickly obtained by means of manual locking:

Within 500,000 kilometers, the deviation has reached 3 parts per 10 million! That is, a deviation of about 150 meters.

And the current spacecraft, no matter what shape it is, is generally more than 200 meters in size, and its radius is about 100 meters. Then if the error reaches 150 meters, the iron iron will not be able to hit the target!

Soon, a second set of data came out, 3.2 per 10,000, and then more and more data appeared. The overall deviation is about 2.7~3.8 parts per million.

The reason why the error is so large is that the temporary measurement method is not accurate. The technology was not developed specifically for this purpose, but only measured with laser ranging.

And more than 500,000 kilometers, the laser back and forth is millions of kilometers, and errors are inevitable. Especially now that everyone vaguely understands that although the starry sky looks like nothing, it is not so 'pure' here!

It's just that such a big error makes it impossible for everyone to adjust.

The ship began to drift away from each other. However, about half an hour later, when the distance between the two sides increased by about 7,000 kilometers, an alarm suddenly sounded from one of the warships of the Ocean Group - it was hit!

Everyone was suddenly shocked, but Murong Shan suddenly smiled: "Before the news came from the rear, we did this. Attack data, etc., continue to do as before. But will eventually aim at the target, zooming in a little closer. That's 3,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Let's try it for ourselves.

So now, keep firing!

In addition, those who are defending should also pay attention to avoiding the enemy. ”

Because the shells will fly for 14 hours, maybe more—because both sides are now distanced.

After 14 hours, the effect finally came out. Solid shells began to fall on the fleets of the Xuanhuang Group and ASEAN in large numbers.

Of course, this 'mass' is also relative to the previous one. The actual target is still less than 1 percent. But that's a huge step forward -- it was zero before! So it's a leap forward.

Then Murong Shan asked everyone to count the data of the target cannon and began to make adjustments.

An hour later, Wang Hong used a large amount of data to come up with the first error: 3.312 parts per million±0.3; according to this number, the aiming point can be brought closer to improve the hit rate.

As for the specific error of a few ten-millionths, it depends on the experience of the attackers - fight by feeling!

So far, the hit rate of Dayang Group and ASEAN has increased to 1.7%!

But the other side is not a fool and is also starting to correct the data. And gradually brought a little damage to the fleets of the Ocean Group and ASEAN.

Another hour later, Wang Hong corrected the error again, which was 3.307 ±0.28 parts per million. At this point, the hit power of the fleets of the Ocean Group and ASEAN has once again increased to 1.9 percent!

Murong Shan decisively ordered to gather fire to attack one of the opponent's spaceships and use it to collect data.

After 14 hours and 27 minutes, one of the opposing spacecraft "exploded". Explosion, the reason why it is in quotation marks, is because...... It didn't really explode, but according to the calculations, the ship should have exploded.

The thin steel plate installed on the outside of the spaceship has been completely destroyed - this steel plate is an alternative target.

In military exercises, gunpowder weapons are used, and in real interstellar battles, rail guns are used. Therefore, this thin steel plate is to the artillery what the ship is to the rail gun.

Now that the thin steel plates have been broken down, especially the steel plates at the core area of the nuclear island and the plasma engine, the result of the computer's calculations is that the spacecraft has exploded violently and disintegrated directly. Seventy percent of all military supplies were lost, and thirty percent of the crew members near the nuclear island and the plasma engine were killed, and the remaining seventy percent were seriously injured.

In addition, because it was set on fire, according to the position of the shells and the position of the crew in the spacecraft at that time, all the crew members were reduced by 30% and seriously injured by 40%.

Under the judgment of the observation spacecraft dispatched by the United Nations in the rear, this "exploded" spacecraft could remove 30% of the materials and remove some of its components, and those who were judged to be "killed in battle" obediently rolled off the fleet and went to the "exploding" spacecraft to live temporarily.

These 'exploding' spacecraft will not be withdrawn, but will continue to observe, learn, and analyze their own shortcomings. According to the plan, they can return after a month - the equivalent of replenishing new fighters and ships.

In the next few days, the hit rate of the two sides began to continue to increase, but it was always difficult to break through the 3 percent hit rate! Wang Hong, a military adviser to the Dayang Group and the ASEAN side, even discovered a problem: The error value is unstable!

"That's not right!" Wang Hong looked at the data of the last few days, his brows furrowed.

The data of the last few days, because there is enough raw data collected, the accuracy is rising. As a result, there is no '±' supplement to the recent dataset.

At this time, the data in front of Wang Hong was a series of irregular numbers: the highest was 3.317, the lowest was 3.106;

This curve is like a sea wave, with a mixture of large and small waves, and sometimes it will give you two consecutive troughs or peaks, without any regularity at all.

However, when Shu Bennan looked at the data, time, and the rotation of the planet together, he exclaimed: "I found it, I found it."

You see, when the first value is large, our position is just on the extension line of the Sun and Venus.

When the first value is at its highest, we are on the reverse line between Jupiter and the Sun. Jupiter is on the other side of the Sun.

This error is caused by gravity!"

"Gravity?" Wang Hong thoughtfully said, "It looks like it, but it always feels a little reluctant." ”

"It's not gravity, it's space-time distortion!" Murong Shan suddenly walked over, "There was news from the rear just now, and the cause of the error was found."

In Mr. Zhang's words: time and space are not smooth. Affected by gravity, space-time is uneven. However, the unevenness of time and space is not like potholes like the road surface, but more like the sea.

Think about it, the density of the sea itself should be uniform. However, the density of seawater varies depending on the amount of salt, the amount of dissolved minerals, and the temperature.

Perhaps the difference is very small, but if you pull the distance to the scale of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the difference cannot be ignored.

If there is a difference in density, the light transmittance, refractive index, etc., will be different.

And to apply this path to the universe, the salt, is the planet. This planet is not only the Tianyuan Star, the Sun, etc., but also the entire huge galaxy. After all, our galaxy itself, is attracted to large galaxies. ”

Wang Hong suddenly realized: "I see! But in this case, isn't it more complicated to calculate?"

"No, I don't. Because the interference of large galaxies on us is basically constant. It's the massive planets inside our galaxy that are really causing the change.

In the past ten days, the scientists in the rear have deduced the rules of space-time distortion.

The data has been sent to your mailbox, you can take a look at it and enter it into the computer. ”

"Okay!" Wang Hong turned his head and left. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head and asked, "Time and space are not smooth, this word is good." Who came up with this, and how did you find out?"

Murong Shan was a little hesitant or puzzled, and paused for a while before saying, "I heard that Mr. Zhang immediately proposed this word after learning about the problem on our side. And let everyone look into it.

The use of seawater as a metaphor for time and space was also proposed by Mr. Zhang. Even Mr. Zhang further proposed that gravity is just an appearance, and the real reason is the distortion of time and space.

The so-called gravitational force is our perspective in space-time, falling down.

Well, I don't know much about that either. You start by entering the data into the computer and seeing. If the accuracy rate is greatly improved, it means that the conclusion that time and space are not smooth is correct. These are also a test of the new theory of space-time. ”

"Understood. ”

Wang Hong quickly found the email, unzipped the data, entered it into the computers of several warships, and then asked these newly upgraded warships to give each other some colors.

Fourteen and a half hours later, there were two warships on the side of the Xuanhuang Group, and they withdrew gloomily!

Wang Hong immediately counted the accuracy of the shells just now, but was surprised to find that the accuracy had been improved to ...... 49%！

"Time and space are not smooth?" Wang Hong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and while he entered new data for all the warships, he looked at the fleet opposite: Maybe, something can be done!
