Chapter 633 Missiles of the Sun-Moon Empire
Douluo starts from the Pea Shooter Chapter 633 of the main text volume: The missiles of the Sun-Moon Empire were actually realized by the Sun-Moon Empire after the mecha was halfway developed. The actual combat effect of the mecha is not as great as imagined. The more useful one is the main gun of the mecha. Especially the type that can achieve beyond-visual-range strikes.
If it is possible to launch weapons to attack the enemy at a distance of thousands of kilometers or even farther, then the strategic advantage of the Sun-Moon Empire will be too great.
However, the premise is that the speed of the fired shells must be so fast that even the title, Douluo cannot intercept them.
Or it will explode violently the moment it is intercepted. Let the interceptor also be strongly impacted.
To do this, it is not particularly difficult. The speed of the shells that can be fired at such a long distance will definitely not be low.
After realizing that the planet under their feet is round, the Sun-Moon Empire already knew that if they wanted to strike beyond visual range, they must draw an arc in the sky, and finally take a parabola-like trajectory.
If the upper end of this trajectory can leave the atmosphere of the planet's surface, the distance the shell can fly will be even farther.
After hearing that the Sun-Moon Empire had this project, Lan Nuo immediately jumped from the mecha R\u0026D department. Although mechas are easy to use, they are only easy to use. There will be no strategic changes in terms of strategy. It is even better than making tanks to have a greater impact on the battlefield.
Missiles are different, especially missiles equipped with sufficiently powerful weapons.
However, he remembered that he seemed to have the ability to launch missiles before. Maybe he had it in his dreams, or maybe it was some experience left to him by his grandfather.
And these experiences also made him participate in the R\u0026D department and put forward very useful suggestions.
After the Sun-Moon Empire started the development of missiles, the biggest problem it faced was not propulsion. They could barely send objects out of the atmosphere. At least as long as they were not living creatures, they did not need to consider letting them survive in space, which was theoretically possible.
The real problem was to get this thing to fly to the place you want to attack. This kind of weapon has a very long range, but it also means a very large error. If the error is a little bit, it may be off by who knows how many miles when it is fired or hit.
If the error is so large, it will have no strategic significance, let alone attacking individual targets. Even if it is to attack a city, it will most likely go to the suburbs. It may even be directly deceived to another city.
At least the error should be reduced to within five kilometers, so that it can have a certain practical effect. And it is meaningless to work hard on the launch. Just like a simple artillery, no matter how far the range is, it is impossible to control the error within a certain range at that distance. After all, the influence of airflow on the shells cannot be pre-paid. No one knows what kind of deviation will occur when the shell is halfway through the flight. Even if two completely identical shells fly at the same initial velocity, they will eventually land in different positions.
So it is necessary to adjust the flight state during the flight. Attitude control engines are not difficult to develop. The difficulty is how to determine that the position of the target is correct at a long distance.
To achieve this, you can only navigate, and it is impossible to put a person on it. If a person is put on a rocket, although it is theoretically possible to control it, the space and mass required to maintain its survival will be too large, and the explosive power contained in the shell will be too insignificant.
So putting a person in it is definitely not possible. If they want another solution, the first thing they think of is to navigate by recording the terrain.
However, there is a problem that after reaching space, the clouds will block the terrain on the ground. There is a high probability that it will affect the navigation effect. The performance of the chip itself will also be affected to a certain extent. However, this aspect can be solved slowly. First of all, it is necessary to take a map of the ground from space and transport this map back safely. The difficulty in this regard can be said to be quite great.
Launching an unsafe flight into space. This is relatively easy to do. But it is more difficult to let the flying object land safely on the ground after a circle in space.
The requirements for automated design are quite high, and Lan Nuo's participation in it may not guarantee success.
Fortunately, these soul guides of the Sun and Moon Empire are not vegetarians. After a launch test, they had some understanding of the environment in outer space.
In areas far from the surface, soul power is very thin, which makes it difficult for aircraft relying on soul engines to accelerate. At this time, normal fuel is needed as the raw material of the engine to provide propulsion to rise to a higher position.
In theory, it is also possible to use soul power. However, there is a problem that when the density of soul power at high altitude is extremely low, the loss rate of soul power inside the bottle storing soul power will become faster.
This is a bit similar to cells. Cells will lose and absorb water in solutions of different concentrations, and the same is true for soul power. The higher the concentration of soul power, the less likely it is for the soul power inside the bottle to be lost.
In outer space, the soul power of a baby bottle is lost very quickly, and the sealing technology of the baby bottle must be improved to achieve this. In the original work, the sealing technology of the baby bottle was not successfully transformed until thousands of years later by an eighth-level soul master. That is also his proud skill.
But now the technical difficulties in this area are before the entire research team. It only took a few weeks for everyone to brainstorm and build on each other's ideas. This completed the design and manufacturing of a brand new milk bottle, ensuring that even in a vacuum environment, the soul power inside can be slowly lost.
In this case, the soul guide can continue to operate in space. In addition, it can also be promoted in a more sustained manner.
In terms of chemical fuel propulsion, soul guidance technology has unique advantages. The space soul guide can store fuel, but the stored fuel does not occupy the mass of the thruster. One of the biggest problems in launching a rocket in reality is that the rocket itself must also bear the mass of the fuel itself.
In this way, if you want to fly higher in the sky, you need to carry higher fuel, and if you want to carry higher fuel, you need to carry more fuel to push the fuel.
After this cycle continues, a little bit of mass wants to be sent to space. All require extremely large amounts of fuel.
And if the quality of the fuel itself is not considered, then everything is too simple. Only much less fuel is needed to complete a launch, and the size of the rocket can also be very small. This is a unique advantage of launching missiles in this world. Intercontinental missiles can easily be used to transport large amounts of explosives. And the explosives made by soul guides are often extremely powerful. Compared with ordinary explosives, their yield is almost as strong as that of a nuclear bomb. If it can be transported far enough, the impact on extraordinary creatures will be even better than a nuclear bomb.
After all, most of the power of a nuclear bomb is concentrated in its explosive power. And it's spreading in all directions.
In contrast, the power of radiation does not harm powerful individual organisms so much.
As for soul-guided cannonballs, you can concentrate your attacks in a relatively small range and release them. Releases more powerful effects in a small area.
Lan Nuo has not tried the effect of level nine fixed soul-guided artillery shells. Even when I came to this world, I had never seen it before. After all, this thing is quite precious. It's impossible to just blow it up and play with it.
Even the national reserves of the Sun and Moon Empire are likely to be less than three digits, but as the design and production of soul guides are separated, their use and design are separated. The difficulty and price of making level nine soul guides will also be further reduced.
After all, many top level nine soul engineers now design a soul guidance device. After the design is completed, it will be handed over to the manufacturer for mass production. In this way, the difficulty and cost of production will definitely be greatly reduced. When designing, we will consider how to increase the power and how to reduce the difficulty of production. There is definitely a limit to what one person can do, but with a group of top soul mentors, it's a completely different situation.
There will definitely be more level nine custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells in the future, especially with the development of missiles, which may become the main force in wars in the future.
Back to the spacecraft, after completing the design and manufacturing of the sealed milk bottle, the test into space can basically be successful. After the first round of successful launches, the probe successfully crashed at the predetermined location. Because it was just a probe, it was sturdy and durable enough. Even after it crashed back, it brought back corresponding data, and its trajectory in space was basically consistent. The predictions of the soul masters. In this case, it is theoretically possible to launch the camera up, and it can even be stably shot on orbit. They need more information about this planet.
After the satellite and camera were launched, they circled the entire planet for three days and made countless rounds in low-Earth orbit. This landed successfully.
Although the landing capsule crashed, the tightly protected camera inside was successfully preserved. The captured content is read out.
For the first time, humans in this world saw what the planet below looked like in the starry sky.
They may not recognize other continents. But the continent they live on is still barely recognizable.
Although the drawing skills are relatively poor, it is because the world's top experts can fly to high altitudes to observe. And intuitively complete map drawing at high altitude. After stitching together the maps from various places, a relatively complete map was obtained over the long history.
Compare the map and the scene taken in space. You can roughly guess which continent they live on. In fact, cities on the ground can be seen through observation from space. So you can tell just by looking at the pictures. Where is the continent they live on?
But surprisingly, there are two continents besides. In terms of area, it is comparable to the continent where they live.
There are also traces of civilization on it, but it seems relatively primitive, at least not as obvious as the cities on this continent. This means that it is a continent that is easier to conquer than the three countries opposite it, given the strength of the indigenous people living there. I'm afraid it's much worse than the one here. The Sun and Moon Empire worked hard to fight against the Douluo Three Kingdoms. In fact, it is better to go to the other two continents to develop resources.
After realizing this, the entire Sun-Moon Empire's policies could not help but change a little. The navigation technology that was not valued by them before was also valued at this time. This planet is so big. There are two huge continents that are not too far away for them to survive. In that case, why bother to fight with the three countries of Douluo? .
The high-level officials of the Sun-Moon Empire more or less know that Douluo is protected by gods. And gods are the existence that they cannot fight against at all now. In this case, it is better to retreat to the second best and find two wild continents to develop their own strength. When they have the confidence to fight against enemies of the level of gods, they will try to regain their lost land.
However, no matter what the future strategy of the Sun-Moon Empire is, the research and development of missiles will continue. After figuring out the map of the surface, the next step is to store the map in the chip. Then let the missiles in space face the map again and again. Scan. Compare the ground environment. To confirm whether they have reached the target.
"It is still too unstable to use this method for navigation. In addition to trying to use maps for navigation, the stars in space can also be used as navigation coordinates for us. You should have noticed that the stars at night will revolve around the North Star. This is because our planet is rotating. This means that when the satellite is in different orbital positions, the starry sky above the head is very different. Compared with the ground that will be blocked by clouds, the starry sky is obviously an easier target to observe. And navigating according to the starry sky. Fly to the starry sky area where the target we need to attack is located. The effect should be much better than simply navigating through the ground map. When the two navigations cooperate with each other, it can avoid the situation where the map cannot be matched due to deviation to the greatest extent." Lan Nuo proposed an idea that no one had thought of. But soon someone mentioned the problem with this idea.
That is, the planet under their feet is constantly rotating, and in this process, the starry sky corresponding to the same area of the day will also change constantly. It is meaningless to just record the starry sky.
"So we need to introduce the concept of time. Before launching, we need to calculate the approximate time of hitting the target and the image of the starry sky in the target area after hitting the target."
