Chapter 355 This 10KW is not that 10KW
Chapter 355 This 10KW is not that 10KW
1000 points!
After seeing this number, even Kang Chi couldn’t help licking his lips.
Occupying a key stronghold only gives 30 points per hour, and this is a gift of 1,000 points.
If this is taken down, won’t the opponent be anxious? However, this 100 times of war damage is a bit too difficult.
If a B1 type dreadnought tank worth 3 million is deployed, the opponent’s equipment worth 300 million will be destroyed to complete the mission.
Even Kang Chi was not sure about this. I really don’t know where Chief Shen got his confidence from…
After thinking about it, Kang Chi finally shook his head and said, “This mission is too difficult. I don’t think it’s necessary to be too persistent. However, during the exercise, you can try it by sacrificing lives. However, I am only a field staff officer now. The final decision is still up to you.”
“Understood.”
After Dumont had a brief discussion with the combat staff in the command room, he finally ordered, “Adjust the deployment now. Storm 1 Company will immediately climb the high ground and intercept the opponent’s drones on the high ground. At the same time, cooperate with the D1 type dreadnought tank’s laser air defense module to perform the extreme performance test.”
“Storm 1 Company received!”
After hearing this order, Huang Yu immediately took a hundred team members to start the action.
Kang Chi was also assigned to the first company this time, and he was responsible for operating the D1 type dreadnought tank.
The module carried by the D1 type is 5 tactical laser weapons with a power of 10kW.
This is specially made by Kang Chi to deal with small drones.
In order to deal with various small, low and slow drones, laser beam energy weapons are also the direction that countries are fully developing.
As early as 2014, Boeing developed the “HELMD”, which is a 10KW laser weapon. In 2022, Martin Lockheed delivered a 300KW engineering prototype to the Pentagon.
This is also the most advanced and powerful laser weapon to date.
Of course, this is just a rumor.
No one knows whether it exists or how powerful it is except the Americans themselves.
In addition to the Americans, Russia also has a “troublemaker”. This thing has been pulled onto the battlefield, and the effect can only be said to be average.
And China’s Poly Technology has also developed the “Silent Hunter”. These powers are all at the level of 5-30KW.
The power of beam energy weapons determines the time required to shoot down a drone.
Suppose a certain type of drone, with a 10KW laser weapon, has to shoot for ten seconds before it explodes. If it is changed to 100KW, it can kill a drone in one second.
However, beam energy weapons cannot blindly pursue too high power, but still depend on the specific application scenario.
Too high power means that a larger capacitor and a larger energy storage system are required, which will make the entire system very large and bloated.
For example, HELMD, Provocateur, and Silent Hunter are all quite large in size and need to be equipped with a special launch vehicle, or directly used as ship-borne air defense weapons.
But Kangchi’s is directly mounted on the dreadnought, and has a very large weight limit.
It is already very extreme to achieve a maximum power output of 50KW in such a small volume.
And Kang Chi has also tested that although the power of each laser cannon is only 10KW,
This 10KW is not the same as that 10KW!
Beam energy weapons are composed of two words, beam energy, beam, energy,
The latter is energy, and the former is beam!
In fact, constraint is the key.
If you have seen drones shot down by laser weapons, you will find that these drones, without exception, have been burned with a hole at least the size of a fist.
This means that the size of this laser beam is about the size of a fist.
But Kang Chi’s weapon is only the size of a screw!
Under the same power, a smaller beam means a higher energy density. A 10KW laser weapon, with good laser constraint, can completely exceed the performance of a 100KW one. If it can be further upgraded, the laser can be reduced to the size of a hair. This thing can even be like a knife that can cut through iron like mud, directly chopping drones in the sky like watermelons…
It’s as simple as using nanowires to cut large ships in the Three-Body Problem, and it’s even more flexible.
It’s a pity that this upgradeThe bottleneck is a non-metallic element No. 189 that humans have not yet unlocked.
However, it is already very impressive to be able to come up with this set. During the last test, it even intercepted a Mach 2 missile. You should know that with the technical and productivity support of Daqin Optics, the cost of this thing is only five million.
As long as it can successfully intercept a missile of this level, it will be completely worth the price.
However, its main strength is to deal with low-altitude aircraft with propellers that cannot fly supersonic.
And Kang Chi actually did not test the limit of this weapon.
The main reason is that not so many drones were found.
At the same time, I also think that this test is a bit of a waste…
Anyway, the exercise is about to start, so why not use this exercise to test the extreme pressure resistance of this thing.
“Report to the headquarters, Storm 1 Company has completed its deployment on the high ground, please give instructions.”
”The headquarters has received your instructions. Your main task now is to protect the four D1 dreadnought tanks and prevent the enemy’s ground forces from approaching.”
”Received.”
At this time, there are only more than twenty minutes left before entering the second stage.
For those who participated in this exercise, these short twenty minutes seemed as long as twenty hours…
Under the attention of the public, the general headquarters of the exercise finally ordered: “The exercise has officially entered the second stage. Both sides are allowed to engage in combat within the specified range. The points system is now open!”
”The Red Army headquarters has received it!”
”The Blue Army headquarters has received it!”
After receiving the order, the commanders of both sides issued the corresponding combat orders almost at the same time: Immediately launch drones to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the battlefield!
The Red Army now mainly controls Town A on the south side of Lake South in the center of the exercise map. They also chose to deploy the town as their base camp.
More than 200 vehicles of various types could not all be driven into the town. Jian Jingsen’s choice was to disperse 60% of the supplies in various places in the town, and then drive the armored transport vehicles directly around the town to build two steel protective walls.
Innermost were all launch vehicles for various drones.
Jian Jingsen’s tactics were actually very simple. He planned to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. He would stay in the base camp of Town A and use drones to fight a war of attrition with the Blue Army.
Unless the Blue Army was basically wiped out, he would not take the initiative to send people to occupy any strongholds except Town A.
Anyway, the terrain here is very flat. No matter where the opponent wants to go, they will be discovered by their swarm and then annihilated.
The main goal is to take what I don’t want, and you can’t get it either.
However, the premise of this strategy is to ensure the absolute safety of the base camp.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——
As soon as Jian Jingsen gave the order, dense rotor reconnaissance drones took off from a vehicle.
This rotorcraft vehicle is like an aircraft carrier, with a 4X5 take-off platform on the top and ten floors inside. It can take off and land a total of 200 drones in batches in a short period of time to form a strike swarm.
After take-off, the staff only needs to continue to fill the drones inside to continue to form a second swarm.
And they have 10 such vehicle platforms! In just five minutes, 600 quadcopter drones were circling densely over the entire town of A.
They were like migratory birds, rushing towards the northwest in an overwhelming manner…
