14. Day of Stopping Missiles (4)
Flower moon 31st.
Lugdunum.
Charlemagne is one of the oldest cities, the third largest city of Charlemagne after Lüders and Marcelia, the capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the capital of the Old Kingdom of Burgundy, the center of textile, leather, printing and metalworking, and Charlemagne's financial center......
A long list of ornate and dazzling titles highlight the city's illustrious history and prominence, and every Lugdunum is proud of it.
Now the city has a new title.
- A very small number of large cities that have not been frequented by "buzz bombs".
Strange to say, the evil weapons of the pointy-eared heretics are definitely enough to reach the big cities of Lüdes and Lugdunum, and with the kind of flames that are extremely difficult to extinguish once burned, they can definitely cause huge casualties in such a densely populated area. But strangely enough, the sharp-eared ghost beasts just didn't do that, and until now, neither the royal capital nor Lugdunum had eaten a bomb.
Why didn't they bomb these more symbolic targets?
The citizens watched the flying bombs fly overhead in numbness, and wondered uneasily what the ghosts were up to.
"The pointy-eared don't have as many flying bombs, they have more important targets to blow up. ”
This is quite wishful thinking and the most marketable speculation. What makes people laugh and cry is that this is the closest to the truth.
"The valiant army is advancing, and the pointy-eared heretics have no strength left, rise up, gentlemen! Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, and the festival of righteous death is today! In the face of our determination to serve the country in seven lives and respect the king, the cowardly and incompetent ghost beasts will inevitably be defeated!"
It's quite a familiar tune, if you come to the song "Song of the Showa Restoration" again, accompanied by "The water on the Seine fluctuates, and the Alps are flying wildly." Faint and turbid Shiwu is independent, righteous indignation burns with blood", raised his claws, and shouted three times "The sky is dark and the card is loaded". That's a lot of feeling. Remember to check from time to time to see if there are any bombs flying over your head.
"The ghosts are preparing to sack the city, they will take everything they can, burn everything they can't, and take all those who can work into captivity as laborers. Women, children, old people - all those who are useless will be killed on the spot. Just like their ancestors used to do. ”
This one...... It's like talking about human beings themselves. Although it is true that there is racial discrimination on the elves' side, racial discrimination has always existed. However, the defense forces are not "locust troops" no matter how they say it, and in order to take care of international public opinion and avoid the quagmire of law and order warfare as much as possible. "Sanguang" is a stupid thing that constantly causes trouble for himself, at least the pointy-eared princes are not interested in it now.
Speaking of which, there are only two reasons why the Defence Forces removed Lugdunum from Fi-103's attack list.
First, the Fi-103s are limited in number and have too many targets. Except for the fact that such a blow had never been encountered in the early days of the bombing, which caused panic among the citizens for a time, in fact the effect was very limited. Even if a fire attack is performed on a specific city, the effect of the attack is still limited due to the accuracy error. Even if the bullets rained, it would only have an impact on some parts of the city. Rather than further distracting the target and making it even more effective, it is better to maintain the current level of strike.
Second, for testing new weapons, a relatively intact city is a better test of a weapon's effectiveness than a ruin. Just like Hiroshima, which was deliberately forgotten before August 6, 1945. Lugdunum, who was lucky, was about to usher in an epoch-making new weapon.
At about 9:30 a.m., a huge streamlined metal depleted fuel and reached the limit altitude of 100 kilometers from the ground, at this time its built-in fuel has been exhausted, because there is no real sense of lift wing, the streamlined body turned into a giant cannonball under the action of inertia, along a perfect parabola, with a deadly carry-on - a full 1 ton of metallic hydrogen fell at 3 times the speed of sound to Lugdunum, 200 kilometers away. In the process of falling, the metal body continues to accumulate kinetic energy while fine-tuning its posture. Eventually, the artifact, which fell at Mach 4.8, plunged headlong into the Church of Our Lady of Fourvière, and the huge kinetic energy attached to the fragments, turning into countless shotnails and striking the unsuspecting crowd below, almost at the same time as the crowd was shattered by the fragments, the impact fuse of the warhead detonated - in order to avoid the rapid contact speed of the projectile, which caused the projectile to explode deep into the ground. The new weapon is equipped with a very sensitive fuse that ensures maximum lethality – the equivalent of 40 tons of TNT is released in an instant. The elaborate church was blown away like a card, and a powerful shockwave instantly took root and the entire neighborhood was razed to the ground, and the charred black fragments that could not be distinguished rained down on the stunned crowd in the distance, and fierce tongues of fire greedily licked the wreckage of the street......
The streets, filled with peace and art, have been transformed into purgatory on earth in the blink of an eye.
Sadness, fear, anger, and panic began to ferment in the crowd, and people began to spontaneously organize to rescue the wounded and extinguish the fire......
The people of Lugdunum are kind, the radiant side of humanity they show in this moment is noble, and in this moment they shine brighter than gemstones.
However, the iron fist of war will not understand this preciousness, and will not even give people more opportunities to show these flashes.
At an altitude of 80~100 kilometers, the remaining 39 giant guided rockets are turning off their engines, and the sharp tips are slowly hanging down, like a sharp sword hanging high in the sky, and the tip of the sword is pointed directly at Lugdunum......
#############
"As you can see. ”
De Kiel owed a debt and looked proud.
"The A-4 guided rocket has performed beyond expectations, and Lugdunum is now in a sea of fire, with the city further devastated by the hot fires caused by metallic hydrogen. ”
The A-4 guided rocket, better known in another world as the "Weapon of Vengeance No. 2", is the Vergeltungsaffe-2, the famous V-2 ballistic missile.
As one of the most famous of Nazi Germany's apocalyptic weapons family, the V-2, like many of its black technology brothers, appeared too late, too few in number, and with too many flaws. The technology and ideas that were ahead of their time could no longer change the doomed fate of the Third Reich, but they had a profound impact on the post-war world and continued to exist in another guise for centuries.
What kills never goes out of style, that's the eternal last word.
In retrospect, the V-2's structural design was crude, there was still a lot of room for weight reduction, and the inertial guidance device installed on it was also problematic. So much so that Qiu Fatzi wrote sarcastically in his diary: "The accuracy of this thing is very poor, and it would be better if you didn't knock them down." "Even so, the V-2 is an epoch-making long-range air attack weapon, especially with the prospect of increased range and integration with atomic explosive devices.
It is precisely for this reason that long-range guided rockets, especially ballistic missiles, have long been an absolute forbidden field of research in Alfheim, and anyone who violates this prohibition will be killed.
Long-range missiles are a stepping stone to outer space, while strategic missiles with nuclear warheads open the door to the wasteland.
It's not unsolvable, but even the Divine Will Agent won't let go of potential threats.
However, if an effective means of combat is not used, it is also inconsistent with the concept of action that puts efficiency first.
"Don't forget to keep it secret, metal hydrogen and brain quantum wave induction guidance and the like, ballistic missile technology itself must not proliferate. ”
Li Lin in the communication interface took a sip of black tea and said unhurriedly.
The technology of the V-2 itself is not advanced, and the reason why it was able to almost destroy Lugdunum in one attack with 40 missiles was mainly due to the black technology held by Li Lin. With metallic hydrogen as the warhead and fuel, the range of the A-4 almost caught up with that of the Scud C, and its power far exceeded that of the Cru. Relying on brain quantum wave guidance, the accuracy is greatly improved. To some extent, this magic A-4 can be regarded as a tactical nuclear weapon.
Of course, this kind of thing will not be unveiled in front of the experts of the defense forces, and the Saint-Dije base is now empty, and the launch track, control equipment and components of the Fi-103 have long been packed and shipped back to the R&D center in Peneminde, deep in the underground caverns, where giant rockets stand tall. A large number of bizarre creatures with crystalline bodies are busy working around the rocket.
"You can rest assured that the security is already in place and the preparations are complete. Just waiting for Roland to come to the door. ”
Stroking a missile painted with the number "N2", Dekyll smiled in a trance, as if she were a girl in love.
"As long as the bombing continues, I believe he can't remain silent, right? With Charlemagne's current level of technology, there is no weapon that can intercept ballistic missiles, and it is impossible to attack this base with long-range firepower. They had no choice but to send small elite troops for long-distance raids. ”
Of course, this has been planned for a long time.
"The subordinate will do his best to meet the attack, and he will definitely deal a severe blow to any enemy who comes to attack. ”
“...... Remember what you said yourself, Dekyll. There is no need to retain strength, and you must fight with all your strength with the consciousness of killing Roland. ”
The cold and calm voice hissed, as if the majesty that could freeze the air pulled De Kill back from his euphoria, and he hurriedly bowed his head again, making a sincere appearance, but Li Lin had already disappeared from the interface.
After a long breath, he returned to De Kir's face with an eerie smile of excitement, his sparkling eyes reflecting Lugdunum in purgatory.
“...... It's not enough. ”
The irrepressible passion turned into a mutter.
“...... More results, more fire!"
The blazing grey passion scorched the air, and Dekyll spread his arms and spun in circles like a dance.
"So...... If you can do it, give it a try. I'm going to - love you so much. ”
