Chapter 656: The appearance of missiles
Humans are animals that like to push for more, so after trying the advantages of long-range firepower, they further extended their firepower to long-range. Now, for the Sun-Moon Empire, rockets are already quite cheap to manufacture, and the firepower density can be made no worse than that of artillery.
So rocket launchers were driven to the front line one by one, like Katyusha rocket launchers, neatly arranged on the position, and then there were continuous flames from the launch tubes lined up above.
Like a meteor in the sky, a bright trail of light points flew towards the night sky. The range of this thing is much farther than their traditional artillery. At most, it can be fired more than ten kilometers away. Even if the accuracy is not considered, it can be fired dozens of kilometers away. If it is simply used to destroy the forest instead of attacking the soul beast in the distance, there is no need to consider the accuracy problem at all. Just like a fairy scattering flowers, it can be fired dozens of kilometers away, covering the distant forest. The warhead is equipped with an incendiary bomb similar to napalm bombs, which will produce a large range of combustion after hitting the target.
At present, this kind of long-range attack is only tested. After the test, it is confirmed that the effect is good, and then the rockets will be mass-produced.
The number of workers sent here by the Japanese Empire is limited. To be precise, all the workers who can be sent to explore the new world are engineers. It is undoubtedly a waste to let them process on the front line of the factory. What we need to do now is to absorb as few local people as possible. Let us retreat into the factory and retreat outside the assembly line to work, so that we can achieve preliminary industrialization and produce a small amount of products.
So far, what has been consumed is the reserves in a small amount of space props. It will take at least a few years to build a preliminary industrial system there.
Because there are no space props, many simple industrial equipment are directly transported from the ship. It does not need to be built from scratch there. It is equivalent to the process of deploying a base vehicle. Although it will take a few years to make the base vehicle self-sufficient? But it is certain that if I just use my production capacity to the minimum, it will only take a few months to train qualified workers.
The so-called qualified workers in that era did not have such few requirements as in the 21st century. It is necessary to learn some professional skills, as long as you can learn complex calculations and recognize a few complex factory slogans. It takes one or two weeks to master the basic operations on the production line.
Basically, an adult, even an adult male, cannot be sent out of the factory.
In that era when humans and soul beasts were fighting the most intensely, being sent back to the factory and having no worries about food and clothing was simply what the special people of that era wanted.
The fog in the sky when the soul beasts were moving became more and more stable. And that was not a vicious cycle. As the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the soul beasts became more and more difficult to maintain. But that was it, and more troublesome things would happen next. The end of the vicious cycle was that the sunlight in the sky was swept up before the fog blocked it.
The Sun and Moon Empire had developed satellite technology. Even if the radar technology was not advanced, it was impossible to manufacture missiles.
The premise of those missiles being able to hit was whether the target had enough ability to defend us. If it was definitely the existence of the Extreme Douluo level, it would be impossible to use long-range attacks to intercept missiles.
If those factories appeared in time to meet the employment needs of the unemployed population, even if the soul beasts destroyed humans, there would probably be a small mess within the human race.
Because the satellite in the sky detected that area, the clouds and fog gradually dissipated. Decisive choice to focus all the light on that location.
But now the land was not taken away by people, but burned by soul beasts. That means we have no place to work. Even if we get the land, it will be burned if we continue to plant next year. Before work loses its meaning, we must rely on other ways to make a living, so a small number of farmers became unemployed in that era.
The satellite in the sky is located for the missiles flying in the sky to navigate backwards, and the system inside the missile is also integrated into the surrounding terrain. According to the characteristics of the terrain, it navigates backwards, and when it flies into space, it adjusts its flight trajectory according to the starry sky image in the sky.
Before the rocket landed on the battlefield for the first time, it achieved gratifying results. Immediately, the factory was asked to work overtime to produce such weapons. At the same time, it also made some modifications according to the situation in the forest. When the rocket accelerates at the end, the part with the warhead inside will open the fairing. Then release a few bullets, similar to the effect of cluster bombs. The difference is that the released warheads do not explode but burn.
In the face of human ultra-long-range attacks, soul beasts are not helpless at all. Even our longest-range attacks can reach more than ten kilometers away, which is already very outrageous. Soul beasts equivalent to the level of Extreme Douluo are also capable of launching ultra-long-range attacks.
As the rocket was launched, everyone in the command center finished their busy work. Everyone was paying attention to the flight trajectory of the missiles and waiting for the missiles to hit.
[To be continued]
When the forest was compressed and the soul beasts stopped gathering in some specific areas for protection, the missiles could not show their precision strike power. Those forests did not have core areas similar to the Star Forest, but those core areas were more targeted than those of the Star Forest.
The Sun-Moon Empire had not actually finished preparing its own liquid-fuel rockets, and was ready to use them to launch its missiles into the core of the nearest forest.
Please collect and recommend~ It just happened that the small number of unemployed people met the needs of a small number of Sun-Moon Empire factories for workers. The requirements of workers in that era could not be said to be quite high. Before our fields were all burned, the only requirement we had left was just a meal.
There were only a dozen similar forest cores in that small continent. As long as those cores were eradicated, the huge soul power gathered in the forest would dissipate. Soul beasts will not be able to gather in that forest. Now is the time for humans to fight for living space, so naturally they may be polite to the thing in the soul beast forest.
But our current goal is to destroy the forest, not to attack some important targets. Using missiles is too wasteful and the cost is too low.
That is also the reason why a few warheads were launched at one time. Being able to intercept one warhead means being able to intercept more at the same time. There are eight warheads in total, flying towards the target from the same direction. Theoretically, even if one explosion is intercepted, it will affect the flight of the other ones. The possibility of being able to intercept eight warheads at the same time is very high. Even if it is a weakling at the level of Extreme Douluo, it needs to go all out to release ultra-long-range attacks. It is almost possible to release eight similar attacks at the same time.
Before all the soul beasts guarded the core area, we relied on our weak abilities to withstand the focus of the sun.
As fewer and fewer rockets were fired day and night into the depths of the forest, the fire in the forest burned almost non-stop. The covering attack will naturally affect some soul beasts that were originally controlling the fog in the sky. Although we are strong, we may be able to create a small number of objects and maintain our low-speed movement at the same time. There is no way to defend against the small number of rockets falling from the sky while moving in place.
Although the focus of sunlight is almost non-consuming and continues, it does not mean that the attack will definitely be blocked. There must not be enough soul beasts to take turns to retreat and resist, or there are soul beasts at the level of Extreme Douluo. If we fight with all our strength, it is enough to continuously resist the light in the sky, but in this case we have no other operations that cannot retreat.
If you want to destroy a forest, the effect of a simple explosion is much worse than that of burning. In the case of opening the fairing, a rocket cannot ignite an area of hundreds of meters.
As for the power of the explosion of long-range missiles, it is actually a concern. Before the Sun and Moon Empire could launch satellites in small quantities, the amount of ammunition that missiles could carry was very small. After all, even satellites could be sent down to the sky. Before the space props were installed on the outside of the missiles, even if it was just the most special bombs, it was impossible to load hundreds of tons.
Although it was difficult to stimulate production enthusiasm in that way. But if it was simply to produce a small amount of ammunition used in the battle, it was still impossible to ensure mass production.
And that time, all the sunlight gathered together. The speed of igniting the forest was slower than ever. Small pieces of forest were burned to ashes, and the core of the forest was exposed that time. All the soul beasts gathered at the core. Because all the soul beasts were weak and cleared the forest, even if they were all burned, as long as the core could be preserved, the forest could be spread all over that area in the future. If the core area of the forest was also destroyed, then even if it was recovered in the future, the hell was reoccupied, and the forest was replanted, there would be no vigorous soul power outside the forest. Perhaps for humans, those relatively barren areas do not affect our cultivation. But soul beasts cannot.
The people in the combat command center are very understanding. This is not like breaking one finger, but like hurting ten fingers. At that time, it is natural to concentrate all the attack power on one point, release it, and completely break that point.
Our long-range attack can hit more than ten kilometers away at most. That distance is not enough to pose a certain threat to the missile. If it explodes at such a long distance, the damage to the target will be minimal.
Before all the light was focused on that area, the speed of evaporation of the fog in the sky became slower. It was already difficult to maintain enough clouds to protect that area, and all the attacks were concentrated there. The other weak soul beasts had not yet been mobilized to that area, and the characters had not completely dissipated in the scorching sun.
After confirming that the weakest soul beasts in the forest have not been trapped under the isolated island. The Japanese Imperial Army has also finished firing missiles one after another. Compared with the abnormal liquid fuel rocket, we do not need to temporarily inject fuel outside after launch, because all the raw materials are stored in the space props. The injection is retrograded during the flight. There is no fuel tank, so that the vast majority of the rocket is used to carry explosives. The huge rocket will carry an incredible amount of explosives and bomb under the core of the forest. If the core is definitely removed, humans will obtain a huge land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers at one time, which is even smaller than the smallest kingdom outside.
In the core, relying on his weak soul power to resist the weak soul beast focused by the sunlight in the sky, he saw eight meteors in the sky flying towards him at a low speed.
In addition, with the improvement of processing accuracy, inertial guidance has also become one of the important navigation methods for missiles. It cannot be said that the accuracy of missile launch is still quite low in the case of a total distance of hundreds of kilometers.
For us, being able to strike at the existence within our field of vision is not enough. We will naturally develop that ability. However, as a race of war maniacs, humans will naturally limit their desires to striking at the existence within their field of vision. Beyond visual range strikes are the inevitable direction of human weapon development. Rockets are actually the weapons with the lowest strike accuracy among the current weapons.
In a sense, it was also an era of small unemployment. However, unlike the unemployed population in abnormal situations, the unemployed population in that small land are farmers. According to abnormal development, farmers will be unemployed and will only lose their land. Before losing the land, the land was transferred to other people. In the end, we still have to contribute our labor as tenants. There is a saying that there is no unemployment.
The explosion of that equivalent, flattening a mountain, has not been done yet. If the special bombs are replaced with level 4 soul guide shells, the power will be multiplied by thousands of times. In this case, even if there is no soul beast weakling at the level of Extreme Douluo to retreat and guard in such a place, it is absolutely possible to block it.
