Chapter 260 Laser Weapons

Langdon used 40 rounds of anti-ship missiles just now. On the one hand, it was an intensive penetration according to the standard anti-ship strike method, and on the other hand, it was also a concentrated consumption of the opponent's air defense firepower according to the actual situation.

Because the total number of vertical launch units of the opponent's two ships is only 224, and it is impossible to install ship-to-air missiles, usually half.

And this wave of attacks has consumed more than 120 anti-aircraft missiles of the opponent, which should be almost the same.

At this time, according to the wave attack tactics commonly used by the navy, the third wave will come with 40 concentrated fire. How do you defend?

No matter how good your close-in defense gun is, it is impossible not to slip through the net, but close-in defense gun is the last line of defense for warships, and slipping through the net means failure.

Langdon began to arrange the third wave of concentrated fire, 40 anti-ship missiles, prepare, launch!
At this moment, Liu Gang also had 40 missile highlights on his radar. He smiled. As he expected, the opponent was using wave attack tactics.

The reason why they didn't adopt saturation offensive tactics right from the start was that besides saving ammunition for the exercise, another purpose was to accurately measure the maximum defensive carrying capacity of one's own ships.

With these data, in the future, if there is any action to penetrate the aircraft carrier formation of your own side, you can formulate a strategy very accurately.

But Liu Gang wants to say, if I tell you, my defense ability is almost unlimited.

He looked outside, the weather was fine, the sky was clear, it was a good day to come out for training, and these guys were really good at choosing the time for training.

But is the weather really that good?The absence of smog and floating particles in the air also means that we have lost a layer of natural protection.

Liu Gang withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at the brand new laser weapon outside the glass of the command cabin, and then at the red button next to the operator. Your actual combat debut is here.

"Activate the ship-borne Death Beam A and shoot down the enemy's missiles." Liu Gang gave the order.

"Phased array radar for multi-target locking, dead light A preparation, power adjustment, 3 kJ per square, target distance, 5 kilometers, launch!"

With the pressing of the red button, the laser weapon aimed at one of the locked targets.

The propagation speed of light is 30 kilometers per second, so 160 kilometers is an instant for laser weapons.

Moreover, even if the missile also flies at the speed of sound or even hypersonic speed, and can even change orbit, the tenths and zero seconds of orbit change are also as long as a year for the speed of laser weapons.

Therefore, no matter how fast a weapon is, it is almost static in the eyes of laser weapons, and any most advanced dodge technology is useless in front of it.

Accompanied by the instantaneous high-power output supported by the high-energy-density battery, a scorching red light also shot out from the launch tube. At the same time, a red light was reflected on the wall of the missile hundreds of kilometers away.

Because of the focus of the laser, its brightness can reach more than 200 billion times the surface temperature of the sun, such as the giant pulse ruby ​​laser.

Even as a laser weapon, as long as the power of the supporting battery is large enough, the focusing temperature can reach more than 1 degrees.

Therefore, the protective layer of the projectile is quickly broken down under ultra-high temperature burning, and due to the perforation and tomographic effects, the electronic components such as chips inside are instantly damaged.

Macroscopically, it is a high-speed flying missile, and after being irradiated by a red dot, it seems to lose its direction, and after a random collision, it falls into the sea.

What Liu Gang saw here was that as the laser launcher continued to rotate and adjust the angle and launch, the bright spots on the radar screen disappeared one after another.

In about 5 minutes, all the missiles were successfully intercepted, and none of them slipped through the net. The interception rate even exceeded that of anti-ship missiles.

Not only Liu Gang, but the officers and soldiers on his ship were all surprised and excited when they saw this scene. This future weapon shocked them too much.

"Old Liu, the actual combat effect of this weapon is more powerful than we imagined. The changes that this advanced weapon has brought to the battlefield are really not just a single star." The deputy captain looked at the disappearing light spot with his back, and couldn't help showing joy.

Liu Gang nodded: "This is the difference between modern warfare and the past. Although we still have the spirit of eating frozen potatoes and marching in the ice and snow at minus [-] degrees, we have to admit that the advanced nature of weapons is becoming more and more powerful. important role.

The time 30 years ago was not aimed at us, but we were the ones who were most warned. Whether it is useful to be brave, of course it is useful.

But what if your opponent doesn't even give you the chance to be brave?If you don't even know where the enemy is until you are defeated, what is the meaning of such bravery? "

The deputy captain was also very touched when he heard it: "Yes, the times have changed, and we have to change accordingly. Only by advancing with the times can we be able to fight modern warfare well."

The deputy captain paused after speaking, looked at the distant sea outside the cabin, and said: "But did you find out just now, the last missile was shot down in the sea not far from us, I just used The naked eye could faintly see the explosion in the distance.

So the current limit of our laser weapons is about 50? "

Liu Gang nodded and said, "It takes time for the radar to find, lock on, and adjust the aiming of the rotary table. This should be the limit."

The deputy captain pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Liu Gang again: "If the opponent is saturated with attacks, what if all the bombs come up? Can we still defend?"

Liu Gang straightened his back, turned his head to look at the deputy captain and said, "That depends on whether the other weapon is powerful. The reason why we took the risk of both sides to miss each other this time is to pretend to be confused with the opponent. Here is an air 'drill'.

Don’t you just want to test, if there really is an 11 vs. 3 situation in the future, are we capable of protecting our aircraft carrier, and then protecting the things behind the aircraft carrier, isn’t it? "

Liu Gang responded calmly, while Langdon, who was hundreds of kilometers away from the sea, vomited blood angrily, but the anger was mixed with surprise.

"How did they do it?" Langdon asked the staff officer.

The staff officer was also shocked that the opponent had blocked his own attack. This is impossible. As a staff officer to assist the captain in formulating strategies, he had fully understood and evaluated the opponent's ship type and strength.

These things are relatively transparent, and it is logically impossible for such a situation to occur.

"It's a bit unexpected." While the staff officer was speaking, he quickly asked the information personnel to quickly check the satellite, radar, image and other data, trying to find out the reason.

"Could it be that all their vertical launch units are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles? Or that they have other combat units to assist?" Langdon guessed.

The staff officer shook his head: "Impossible, under normal circumstances, no warship would only be equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, because that would mean that their ability to attack ships would become zero, and they would have no way to deal with threats at sea.

It should not be a coordinated operation, because regardless of the submarine or the aircraft, no matter how stealthy it is, there must be a band that can be caught when it launches missiles, but we have not detected other combat units near their sea area .

And another point is very critical, that is, on the radar, we did not detect any signal of interceptor missiles, and only our 40 missiles were flying from beginning to end. "

"What happened?" Langdon asked.

The staff officer pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Could it be a new type of weapon?"

While he was speaking, the information personnel also gave feedback, saying: "According to the analysis of the comprehensive data and information of the General Staff Headquarters, the opponent is probably using a laser weapon!"
