Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 96 Broken Arms Save Yourself

The struggle for technology has given rise to a variety of technical weapons, and technological weapons have been used to promote the technologyization of warfare. [No pop-up novel network]

The large-scale application of electronic equipment has made warfare more and more electronic, and the electronicization of warfare has given rise to electromagnetic weapons that are specially used to deal with electronic equipment.

At the beginning of the 21 st century, major military powers in the world began to develop "electromagnetic bombs" one after another.

The original electromagnetic bomb destroyed electronic equipment by converting the huge energy released by the explosion of explosives into high-intensity electromagnetic waves. Because of factors such as limited performance and short action time, the first few electromagnetic bombs failed to be applied on a large scale in the war, and only a few actual combat tests were carried out on the battlefield in Afghanistan to determine the destructive ability of electromagnetic bombs to electronic equipment.

It wasn't until the advent of catalytic metallic hydrogen that electromagnetic bombs developed rapidly.

Catalytic metallic hydrogen was first used to make power reserve units for composite batteries, superconducting coils for superconducting motors, and magnetic confinement bodies for controllable fusion reactors. Catalytic metallic hydrogen is used in a wide range of applications, such as high-energy explosives, high-energy rocket propellants, forced refrigerants, and so on. Because the price of catalytic metals is too expensive (the market price of 1 gram of pure catalytic metal exceeds yuan), and the use conditions are complex (in composite batteries, the proportion of catalytic metal hydrogen is not more than one thousandth, and most of them are catalysts and alloy electrodes used to keep hydrogen in a metal state), so catalytic metal hydrogen has not been widely popularized and applied, and is mainly used to manufacture composite batteries, superconducting motors and controllable fusion nuclear power plants. (More new chapters here)

After the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Republic embarked on the development of military applications for catalytic metallic hydrogen.

The most common thing that comes to mind is definitely the use of catalytic metallic hydrogen to make bombs. Catalytic metal morphological transformation (i.e., hydrogen from metallic to gaseous) can release 50 times the explosive power of TN, and if it is mixed with a strong oxidant, the explosive power can be multiplied. The key question is that catalytic metals are too expensive, and the cost of industrial production is thousands of times that of TNT, and they cannot replace ordinary explosives.

The least likely thing to be thought of is the discharge element used to make an "electromagnetic bomb".

"Electromagnetic bombs" made of catalytic metallic hydrogen have many similarities with composite batteries. Composite batteries are "miniature battery cells" that are connected in series when the required voltage is reached to achieve the purpose of long-lasting output of electrical energy. The "electromagnetic bomb" is to connect the "micro battery cells" in parallel when the continuous working time is reached, so as to increase the instantaneous output power. In other words, the powerful discharge ability of catalytic metallic hydrogen is used to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic energy in a very short period of time, generating high-intensity electromagnetic waves.

The principle is not complicated, and it is simple to manufacture.

During the struggle for the peninsula, the Navy of the Republic of China used "electromagnetic bombs" for the first time in a war, dealing a devastating blow to the South Korean team. This example inspired many people, including the United States and Japan, to begin to develop "electromagnetic bombs" based on composite batteries after the Korean Peninsula War.

Although the "electromagnetic bomb" is powerful, it is not impossible to resist.

The easiest way to do this is to install "electromagnetic shielding" for electronic devices. The simplest "electromagnetic shielding device" is to seal the metal cover, using the electromagnetic shielding property of the metal to block the electromagnetic waves from the outside world.

"Electromagnetic bombs" can be used not only offensively, but also defensively. 〕

With technological advances, even so-called "unguided munitions" have a large number of electronic components. In the case of 155 mm artillery shells commonly used by army artillery, in order to enhance the lethality of artillery shells, most of the shells use air-blast electronic fuses or delay-time electronic fuzes.

Electromagnetic waves are pervasive, and when attacked by "electromagnetic bombs", electronic devices must be isolated from the outside world. In other words, for an electronic device to function properly, it has to remove the electromagnetic shielding and reconnect with the outside world. The vast majority of weapons and equipment have electronic equipment, and they will also be threatened by "electromagnetic bombs".

The way of defense is simple, detonating an "electromagnetic bomb" with shielding its own electronic equipment.

When the C-609 anti-ship missiles attacked the Japanese fleet, they all set the attack command in advance. When a missile carrying an electromagnetic interference warhead is detonated, the other missiles fly according to the preset commands and cannot and do not need to make any maneuvers. After the electromagnetic interference was over, the other missiles activated their homing devices to search for the Japanese warship on the sea. At this time, the C-609 anti-ship missile has removed the electromagnetic shielding of its own electronic equipment and is unable to resist electromagnetic attacks. 〕

The defense of the Japanese fleet was simple, detonating "electromagnetic bombs" directly inside the fleet.

As a result, it is conceivable that not only did all the C-609 anti-ship missiles crash into the sea "in response," but even several carrier-based helicopters that were hovering in the distance and several carrier-based fighters that had just taken off from the aircraft carrier and had not yet left became victims, and they fell into the sea one after another under electromagnetic strikes.

It's tragic!

It was not the aircraft carrier "Akagi" that detonated the "electromagnetic bomb", but the cruiser "Kumano", located southwest of the "Akagi". Although through the tactical coordination system, before the "Kumano" detonated the "electromagnetic bomb", all nearby warships automatically activated the electromagnetic shielding device, saving the large

Sub-equipment, it is an "electromagnetic bomb" is not a panacea, and it is still very useful", which cannot escape the blow than all exposed electronic antennas.

Not to mention anything else, within a radius of 30 kilometers, all the phased array radars on all warships are finished!

The antenna of phased array radar is different from that of ordinary radar antennas, and it is difficult to completely carry out "electromagnetic shielding". The "electromagnetic bomb" was detonated at such a close distance, and the phased array radar antenna, made of miniature electronic components, would definitely be burned out.

Of course, even if the "Kumano" does not detonate the "electromagnetic bomb", the result will not go anywhere.

When the C-609 anti-ship missile attacked, the phased array radars on some warships were already affected, and their performance was greatly reduced (the active phased array radars were still able to work after the failure of some of the radiation units, but their performance would be reduced). If it is not possible to intercept the incoming anti-ship missiles, the Japanese fleet will be completely annihilated.

Kill 1,000 enemies and damage 800 yourself!

After just a few seconds, the electromagnetic interference ended, and the electronics on the various warships restarted.

Nan Yuanben immediately issued an overhaul order to confirm the damage to each battleship.

There is no room for optimism, the air defense radars (all phased array radars) of the 2 ~ aircraft carriers, 2 ~ cruisers, 6 destroyers were destroyed, the long-range search radar (also phased array radar) on the 2 frigates was also destroyed, and only the radars on the frigates that were far away were barely able to continue working. 〕

Fortunately for Nan Yuanben, the command and control system of the battleship was protected without much loss.

The most fortunate thing is that the range of action of the "electromagnetic bomb" is very limited, even the "large electromagnetic bomb" installed on the warship can only constitute a devastating blow to electronic equipment within a radius of 30 kilometers, while the "small electromagnetic bomb" equipped with missiles will not have a devastating strike range of more than .0 kilometers. Most of the fighters on attack missions have long since flown away, most of the helicopters on anti-submarine missions of the fleet are hovering 30 kilometers away, and carrier-based police helicopters carrying out early warning are also patrolling at a distance of 5C kilometers.

Now the question is that the team has lost its ability to defend!

The destruction of phased array radars on all air defense warships meant that the remaining anti-aircraft missiles were all decorations. The long-range detection radar on the frigate does not have the ability to guide missiles, so it cannot guide missile attacks through cross-guidance. Now, on all warships, including 2 aircraft carriers, only the terminal interception system, protected by electromagnetic shielding, is still functioning.

Air defense with terminal interception? It's just waiting to die!

Not to mention hypersonic heavy anti-ship missiles like C-609, even the most ordinary anti-ship missiles, as long as there is a saturation attack, the Japanese fleet will have to be completely annihilated!

Of course, Nan Yuanben still has 3 "electromagnetic bombs" in his hand, and he can resist 3 attacks.

It can be said that after regaining command, Nan Yuanben's mood was very complicated.

The "unauthorized action" of the "Kumano" saved the fleet and pushed it to the brink of destruction. The reconnaissance aircraft of the Chinese team has been hovering around and must have seen the scene of the C-609 missiles collectively "jumping into the sea". Even if the reconnaissance plane did not see it, the long-range maritime patrol planes patrolling from a distance would have found that the Japanese fleet was "safe and sound" and concluded that the Japanese fleet had used "electromagnetic bombs."

If Nanyuan had been the commander of the Chinese fleet, he would have launched several rounds of attacks in a row until the Japanese fleet was annihilated.

In other words, unless the Chinese fleet can be severely damaged in the counterattack, the move of the "Kumano" will only give the Japanese fleet a chance to "breathe for the rest of the day".

Nanyuan had already pressed all the capital, and the fighters left on the aircraft carrier were destroyed under the electromagnetic attack!

Only, Nan Genben's hope quickly turned into despair.

As the torpedo attack sirens sounded, the Japanese fleet was once again challenged.

The warships, which had been under emergency maintenance, quickly dispersed to avoid the incoming torpedoes. The anti-submarine helicopters that flew away during the air defense operations of the fleet will certainly not be able to return immediately, and will not be able to reach the skies over the fleet until 1 hour at the earliest.

And that's not all!

Less than 2 minutes after the discovery of the first incoming torpedoes, the second batch of torpedoes came from the other direction.

That is, at least 2 ~ submarines attacked the Japanese fleet!

The voyage began to evade at full speed, constantly releasing depth charges and torpedo decoys used to jam torpedoes.

About 1 minute after the appearance of the second batch of torpedoes, more than 30 missiles divided into more than 30 missiles jumped out of the sea from about 30 kilometers northeast of the Japanese fleet and flew at great speed towards the 2 Japanese aircraft carriers.

And submarines!

More than 30 missiles flew close to the surface of the sea, and under the surface of the sea, nearly 1 more torpedoes came at a speed of more than 70 knots!

6 submarines!

Ambushed by 6 submarines, Nan Yuanben was completely desperate!
