Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Su Wen looked at the planning case intently.

Especially carefully, I scanned the carefully drawn design ideas one by one.

Although, the beauty in front of her was still close to him.

The size is almost on the same level as the brilliance, and both the shape and texture can only be said to be hard to find in the world.

Through the thin fabric, there is an obvious sense of warmth.

With the current posture of the two of them...

Whenever Su Wen turns his head, he will enjoy the pure natural facial cleanser.

but.

Looking at it, it can be said that it was a plan carefully crafted for his convenience and quick digestion.

The suspicion that Su Wen had just now was long gone.

——How could such a considerate and dedicated beautiful girl pretend to be unintentionally flirtatious?

nonexistent!

She is not Zhenhai!

In Su Wen's mind, the image of my wife has become more and more like a ' considerate and capable wife'.

Such a girl must not have any bad intentions, right?

After all, just by looking at her, she didn't look like someone who would play tricks.

"....Oh I got it."

When Su Wen thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his random thoughts just now.

When I saw the hands, I thought of the legs, and I thought of Raizi... What the tree man mage said was indeed true.

Just a little skin-to-skin contact makes me feel that others have further plans...

...Sigh, I was teased so much by a certain guy that I started to suffer from PTSD...

After thinking about it for a while, an idea came to my mind.

I decided to go back to the bookstore and get some good juice for someone to eat.

At the same time, Su Wen did not move his eyes away, carefully looking at the introduction on the picture.

In general,

After passing the 'Beam Weapon' and 'Missile Weapon',

The idea determined by the final assembly is still 'projectile weapons'.

Very normal.

Although, there are many types of ship-borne weapons.

But the reason for abandoning the 'beam' and 'missile' is itself to 'save energy consumption' and 'save hull space'.

In this case, it is impossible to abandon the two and then choose other types such as 'Jet Stream', right?

So after some screening, the most suitable one is undoubtedly the 'projectile'.

...In terms of the combat environment and combat requirements of carrier-based aircraft, 'projectiles' are not the best.

The best are the two who were passed from the beginning.

Beam weapons have an almost 'instant hit' effect, and missile weapons have 'high range and strong locking' capabilities.

It is quite practical for carrier-based aircraft that need to perform high-speed maneuvers in battle.

Beam weapons launched at the speed of light, or at least sublight speed, can ensure that they will hit immediately when they are fired, with almost no waiting.

The hard-won 'shooting window period' when carrier-based aircraft are dealing with enemy ships or enemy aircraft can be effectively utilized.

This is actually the same as in the era of pre-interstellar civilization, when fighter planes were generally equipped with additional rotary cannons.

Missiles and cannons are the two weapons most suitable for close combat.

The 'shooting window period' is one of the issues they need to consider most.

With the high speed of a fighter jet, the time from approaching the target to leaving the target is only a tiny amount of time.

Granted, to others this distance may seem long.

But in fact, the process of aiming and launching an attack really doesn't go far.

Of course, you can simply and crudely mount the missile directly.

With missiles, there is no need to worry about anything else.

It's nothing more than throwing away the cost.

...But if we consider the cost, in order to seize this window period,

Using a rotary cannon with a "highest possible rate of fire in a short period of time" has become another best choice.

A typical example of this is naturally the extremely ugly 'warthog'.

The 'Warthog', also known as the A-10 attack aircraft, is as ugly as it gets, and its ground-licking efficiency is unrivaled among similar designs.

The 'GAU-8 Avenger' cannon under the nose can spray hundreds of mm penetration explosive bombs in just two seconds.

Use the shortest time to generate the most barrages, and use these deadly barrages to easily overwhelm the target.

Of course there are shortcomings and flaws,

But it is undeniable that this attack method is the best embodiment of the first idea mentioned above.

...The difference is at most due to the fact that we have developed into the interstellar era and the technological generation gap is too great.

The ideas of 'beam weapons' and 'rotating cannons' are quite different.

What Azuma is now considering is to go one step further than the 'beam weapon' and go straight to a 'royal retro', equipping carrier-based aircraft with rapid-fire cannons.

This is quite natural.

The beam is good, but the energy consumption is too high, and a lot of additional equipment needs to be installed.

If you want a better 'rapid-fire beam', at the level of a carrier-based aircraft... you will have to free up more than half of the entire aircraft to serve such a rapid-fire beam cannon.

But if you switch from energy weapons to live ammunition weapons...

It’s not easy either.

after all,

Although the former is due to the cyclotron, the ship itself is bulky.

But the latter requires a large amount of ammunition. If you want to support carrier-based aircraft in long-term combat, the amount of ammunition cannot be reduced.

Compared with the former, the space of the body occupied by the ammunition depot can only be said to be only half a pound.

Based on this series of reasons, the development team decided to find another way.

"Commander, do you still remember the prototype of the 'Hard Light Scatter Cannon' you saw at the shooting range last time?"

Seeing that Su Wen made no other move, my wife tentatively took a step further and breathed into his ear.

"...Remember, remember..."

Su Wen was a little confused, not knowing what she meant.

Then a flash of inspiration occurred, and I thought thoughtfully,

"You mean, you transplanted the 'hard light scattering cannon' to the carrier-based aircraft?"

Thinking of this, there was some surprise in his tone.

That was indeed a surprise.

The 'trial-produced hard light scattering cannon' is almost the most advanced achievement of the empire in the field of 'non-mental Rubik's Cube-derived technology' that meets the conditions of 'completely self-produced and self-researched'.

This thing has gone through several improvements in the past few days.

At present, it has been basically finalized and a beta1.0 version model has been obtained.

That power...

It can only be described as terrifying.

Against those ordinary carrier-based aircraft that use T3T4 horizontal materials as their shells, their lethality is completely cruel.

But no one who is not swallowed up by that 'thunder cloud' will be able to survive.

One, only one jet of unstable energy is needed.

It can be easily punched through.

No matter which angle it comes from, a big transparent hole will be made from the front and back.

If you are unlucky and bump into an unstable energy jet.

Then it will directly become the enlightenment of 2.5, and you will never die again.

According to calculations by the Engineering Department,

Judging from the power of the current beta 1.0 version of the large-scale 'trial hard light scattering cannon'.

Within its coverage, carrier-based aircraft want to achieve effective defense.

Either there must be armor equivalent to the protective power of 'T5 Nanogrid Steel Alloy'.

...and it must be thick enough, not just there, otherwise it will be difficult to push it up;

Secondly, the best thing is to equip it.

The charging efficiency is at least equivalent to that of a frigate-level energy shield, and the protection level is preferably T5 or above.

In other words.

The L-slot's 'hard light scattering cannon' is powerful enough to cause devastating damage to conventional frigates within the effective range.

In the subsequent actual combat exercises, it can also be clearly seen that

Even if the target is changed to a heavy frigate, a destroyer, or even a light cruiser.

It can cause non-negligible damage to them within the effective range enough to form an anti-aircraft barrage.

Targets with larger hulls can still rely on the higher-power energy shields carried on the ship to withstand the overwhelming unstable energy jets.

...At least it can withstand several rounds, but not more.

But if it is a target that cannot carry a high-power energy shield, that is, at least a megawatt level or above,

Once it is hit by the crystal shell fired from the scatter cannon, it will be covered by the 'thunder cloud' that explodes afterwards.

If one fails, the deck will be washed.

In Su Wen’s opinion.

Although this thing is a specialized anti-aircraft weapon.

But looking at the effect, even for the 'anti-ship' purpose that is not part of the job,

It is also not much different from other anti-ship weapons of the same specifications.

Its only weakness is that its hands are too short.

There is no way, the critical state hard optical crystal itself is very unstable.

Once it is launched and breaks away from the confinement field of the muzzle reaction chamber, it cannot naturally sustain for too long in the outer space environment.

Generally speaking, it can take as long as one minute or as short as thirty seconds before it collapses naturally.

Due to this shortcoming, it cannot hit very far anyway.

This flaw makes it incomparable with conventional anti-ship weapons.

It's not as far away as kinetic energy cannons and particle spears.

...But if it is installed on a carrier-based aircraft, then the problem of "short hands" will be easily solved, right?

The specifications will definitely have to be shrunk, there's no way around it.

After all, the size of the carrier-based aircraft is there.

But it has shrunk. When combined with the maneuverability and speed of carrier-based aircraft, the threat has undoubtedly doubled:

——Suddenly rush outside the air defense circle of the enemy's vanguard fleet group in one breath, and use this thing to attack others' faces and wash the deck. Who can withstand it?

Or, wouldn't it be great to directly steal the enemy's aircraft carrier formation at high speed and shoot turkeys at close range within the take-off and landing range of the carrier-based aircraft?

...Yes.

Su Wen was so happy when he heard her mention this.
