Chapter 994 [Ultra-long-range Offensive Shell VS Interception Firepower Network]

Maintain a warship formation of the Ghanaian clan advancing at a constant speed. Perhaps they found themselves within range of the United Earth Fleet's long-range radar detection, and suddenly stopped advancing.

Xing Feng looked at the red dots on the radar detection display, those targets that were no longer moving, and couldn't think of what the family was trying to do.

And it's very weak to take the initiative to attack!

Of all the weapons carried by the Earth Alliance, the longest-range is the superconducting magnetic accelerator cannon, which is more than half the range of laser weapons of the same super-large caliber.

Theoretically, the locking effective attack range of this electromagnetic kinetic energy main gun can reach 10,000 kilometers.

This effective range does not refer to the maximum attack range, but refers to the superconducting magnetic acceleration cannon after firing an electromagnetic cannonball that flies at a speed of four thousandths of the speed of light, that is, 1,200 kilometers per second.

Locked enemy ships are theoretically unable to completely evade and dodge.

With an effective range of more than 10,000 kilometers, it takes too long for an electromagnetic artillery shell to hit the target from launch, and a large enemy warship that has been locked on can be effectively avoided by relying on the shipboard early warning system.

In a relatively vacuum space environment, the flight of the artillery shell is completely different from that in the atmosphere, there is no gravity and air resistance, and with the small volume of the electromagnetic projectile, the influence of gravity on him is negligible.

As long as the cannonball is launched during the flight, it does not collide with the material existing in space, and it can fly almost infinitely.

That is, the maximum flight distance of the shell, almost an infinite number.

In the case of the kinetic energy main gun carried by the United Fleet, it takes nearly 7 seconds to travel 10,000 kilometers, and the kinetic energy cannon will not turn around to track the target on its own.

The Ghanaian warship formation is parked 12,000 kilometers away, and the shipborne main guns of the United Earth Fleet, even if they are fired, will not have much effect.

In the space environment, the kinetic cannon has its advantage in terms of lethality, and the closer the distance, the higher the damage.

The disadvantages are also very obvious!

For small and medium-sized warships, they are very mobile and fast, and they use kinetic energy main guns to attack, which is purely another version of anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.

The target is not yet a kinetic projectile, and it is difficult for the fire control system to lock on, and even if it is, before you can fire the shell, the mosquito has already slipped out of several streets.

No matter how strong the muscular man is, he can't catch flies all the time!

However, usually when the time comes, the laser weapons on board the ships of the Earth Alliance can exert its effect.

Although the light energy beams gathered by laser weapons will gradually lose control and dissipate with distance, they are far less distant than kinetic weapons.

In terms of destructive power, it is also far inferior to the kinetic cannon!

However, in the short and medium distances, the sub-light high-energy laser beam launched by the laser weapon can effectively restrain high-speed warships by virtue of the terrifying flight speed of its shells.

The two weapons of the Earth Alliance have clear functions and have their own advantages in lethality.

The Ghanaian tribe's shipborne weapons are very special, and the attack distance seems to be much farther, even if the two sides are still separated by 12,000 kilometers, they can launch a main artillery attack.

Trying to use this ultra-long-range attack to consume the living forces of the Earth United Fleet in advance.

When the shipborne fire control radar of the Ghana clan locked on all the battleships in front of the Earth Alliance in one step, the radar warning report of the battleship formation in front of the flagship command center where Xingfeng was located came from the flagship command center.

The enemy's fire control radar has been locked, so there will definitely be a heavy artillery fire next.

"The firing distance of the Ghanaian naval guns is one-fifth farther than that of the naval guns under the Yat technology, which is not optimistic." Xingfeng's brows furrowed.

Before the enemy has been locked on, the opponent's naval guns are ready to fire, which is a unilateral weapon suppression, and if it cannot effectively respond to it, it will definitely cause great casualties to the fleet.

Thinking back to the information Gao Yun said before-

The Ghanaian shells are very weird, but the disadvantage is that the flight speed is not as fast as the naval guns under the Yate technology, and the chance of interception at close range can reach more than 50%.

This information was very important to Xingfeng, and based on this shortcoming of the Ghanaian naval guns, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Since the probability of interception at close range can reach 50%, the probability of interception of ultra-long-range shells will definitely be further greatly improved.

"Notify the battleship formations in front to temporarily enter a state of full defense, stop the energy supply of the main guns, convert all the energy to the defensive guns, and be ready to intercept incoming long-range shells."

"Notify the 1st UAV aircraft carrier formation, and immediately send UAVs to the front of the battleship to assist in intercepting the enemy's first wave of fire."

The two orders of Xingfeng were issued, and the small and medium-caliber fast anti-class defensive ship guns of the battleships in front of them entered a state of charging and ready to fire at any time.

Located in the middle of the battleships and cruisers, inside the three large aircraft carriers that were already in combat condition, a large number of UAVs accelerated through the magnetic runway and rushed directly out of the aircraft carrier hangar at super high speed.

A dense formation of high-speed drones was formed, heading straight for the area in front of the battleship.

The high-speed drone has just arrived at the defensive position, 3000 kilometers in front of the battleship, which is also the position where the early warning radar can lock on the target to intercept, and a large number of target units attacking at high speed appeared.

These are long-range super-caliber shells from the Ghanaian fleet, which were fired first.

Hundreds of shells of various shapes, all of which were over 500 meters in caliber, were completely invisible to the naked eye, and some were covered in bright light.

At a speed of more than 500 kilometers per second, the ferocious gods slammed straight into the area where the Earth Coalition was located.

"Lock on to the target!"

Xingfeng's gaze locked on the radar screen in real time, and when the distance was only 1,500 kilometers left, he immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”

At the moment when the order was given, thousands of small-caliber weapons of UAVs, a total of thousands of defensive ship guns on more than 40 battleships, simultaneously launched a dense artillery cover.

Swish~

There was no sound transmission, only thousands of electromagnetic shells and laser beams, flying at high speed like a blowout, heading straight for the long-range shells that they had locked.

Two supergroups of shells, one offensive and one defensive interceptor, collided head-on in less than a second.

Coaxing-

The interceptor fire exploded head-on with locked shells, and countless dazzling lights erupted at the same time, like a large-scale fireworks display in space.

Since there was no material that transmitted light in space, the bursts of light gathered together in a strange way, like blowing up a balloon, and instantly expanded into a super-large light cluster with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Even from a distance of thousands of kilometers, Xingfeng could clearly feel the terrifying explosion energy contained in this super-large aura through the main screen of the command center.

And the members of the four major alliances in the rear, seeing the scene of space combat for the first time, caused a shocking impact on their hearts, which was several points stronger than the wind of punishment.

Compared to the war on Earth, it is simply a child's play.

The strategy of the execution of the punishment wind was very effective, and the first wave of interceptor fire was launched, and more than half of the incoming super-large-caliber long-range shells were destroyed.

The remaining incoming shells were also basically lost under the follow-up interceptor fire.

In the end, only nine long-range shells narrowly passed through the intercepted defensive artillery fire network and successfully hit the two battleships in front.

It was at this time that the entire Earth Alliance first felt how strange the attack methods of the Ghana tribe, which Commander-in-Chief Gao Yun called mechanical kinetic energy shells.

The shells of the Earth Coalition are either killed by kinetic energy or destroyed by high-intensity energy, and the damage pattern of these shells of the Ghana clan is completely another route.

These shells fired by the Ghana clan had little damage to the battleships of the Earth United Fleet when they hit the first wave of energy impact.
