Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 138 Extreme Speed
...After resisting the first round of missile attacks, the multi-purpose ship in the west of the dry fleet took the lead in starting the radar. Because the radius of the forced electromagnetic interference system is about kilometers, the farther the distance, the less affected it will be. The first batch of missiles flew from the east, so the warship located at the eastmost side of the fleet uses the forced electromagnetic interference system, while the warship in the westmost side of the fleet has the least impact.
The battle group of the "Orenet" aircraft carrier has no chance of respite. The second batch of missiles were picked up and

More importantly, this batch of missiles flew from Ranmian.
The radar on the destroyer used Miaozhong to scan the incoming missiles with force, calculated the direction, distance, speed, altitude, quantity and other important parameters of the missile group. Then, Miaozhong used Miaozhong to send these important data to other battleships in the fleet.
In fact, there is no need to share battlefield information.
Even if the forced electric collision jamming system was not used in previous battles, the fleet's electronic equipment, especially the fire-controlled radar that guides air defense missiles, was not paralyzed, because Netyue intercepted the first batch of missiles with its maximum ability. Therefore, the remaining air defense missiles on each warship in the fleet could not intercept the second batch of missiles at all.
More importantly, when the second batch of missiles were discovered, less than a thousand meters away from the fleet, the response time left for the fleet was only a few seconds, and there was no time to organize air defense operations. Faced with such an attack, the only way was to use the forced electromagnetic interference system again. Because the range of the forced electromagnetic interference system is about kilometers, exceeding the range of activities of the fleet during air defense operations, according to the US Navy's combat code, in this case, "whoever discovers is responsible." That is to say, the warship that discovered the missile detonates the forced electromagnetic interference system; sending battlefield information to other warships is just to prepare their warships.
The question is. Can other warships be prepared in the second of the old time?
You should know. Before this, the Fleet Network had just resisted the attack, and the destroyer located in the east activated the forced electromagnetic interference system. When the second batch of missiles arrived, the warships in the east of the fleet were still checking the electronic system. Some warships' fire control systems were not even connected to the tactical information sharing platform, so they could not obtain the battlefield information provided by other warships, and they could not cope with the upcoming second forced electromagnetic interference.
Of course, the destroyer responsible for the fleet's air defense will not use forced electromagnetic interference systems.
The one who controls the destroyer is not the captain or other officers of the warship dagger, but a fire control computer with primary artificial intelligence. In addition to analyzing the program, this computer based on neural network technology can also analyze the acquired battlefield information and make judgments on the analysis results. At that time, the radar on the warship discovered about four threatening air targets. Based on this analysis, the fire control computer concluded that the remaining air defense and anti-missile capabilities of the fleet are not enough to shoot down all anti-ship missiles, and all three aircraft carriers will be severely damaged. According to this conclusion, the fire control computer can activate the forced electromagnetic interference system on the warship according to the program set in advance.
Of course, forced electric collision interference systems are not omnipotent.
During the Indian War, the Republic's Air Force and Navy used actions to prove that the forced electromagnetic interference system was flawed. Appropriate methods can weaken its influence. Among the many methods, increasing the flight speed of anti-ship missiles is one of the most direct and effective methods.
After the emergence of forced electric collision interference systems, the new generation of anti-ship missiles in countries around the world have adopted countermeasures. In addition to some anti-ship missiles that use closed-circuit guidance systems, the most commonly used countermeasure is a very simple control system called the "locking system". The working principle of this control and education system is very simple, that is, when forced electromagnetic interference is encountered, a device similar to a mechanical lock is activated, locking the control wing surface of the missile, and allowing the missile to complete the final stage of flight in a state before being disturbed. That is to say, in this case, the missile becomes an ordinary shell. In order to improve the hit rate, missiles using the "locking system" have two characteristics: one is a very fast last flight speed, and the other is a straight-forward last attack ballistic.
As the fastest flight speed of anti-ship missiles increased from Mach 3 at the beginning of the century to Mach 3, until now, Bandmach, the speed is no longer a performance bottleneck for anti-ship missiles, but has become a major feature of anti-ship missiles.
Everyone knows that the faster the anti-ship missile is, the greater the threat to the warship.
If the speed of the anti-ship missile reaches Limach, that is, the sea level speed is equivalent to that of a meter per second, even if it encounters forced electromagnetic interference from the enemy, with the help of the "locking system", the hit rate of the warship will exceed any other non-guided ammunition. This is not a simple speculation, but depends on the calculation results of actual data. For missiles with a flight speed of up to meter per second, it only needs to be solved to fly about a thousand meters, and for large surface warships with a speed of Feng Jie, it is so short.
Within the time, it can sail about four meters. The length of the old 10,000 tons of super aircraft carrier is more than 0,000 tons, and the captains of large warships above 10,000 tons are also assisting around meter. Even if the incident angle of the missile is considered to be the angle between the missile's flight trajectory and the navigation direction of the warship, it is generally between the degree of degree. Attacking aircraft carriers only requires up to 3 missiles, and attacking cruisers and other large warships at most praise "the standard calculation of non-guided ammunition, which is very amazing.
Of course, it is definitely not easy to make the missile fly over the sea to Limach.
Not to mention whether there is sufficient power device. At such a fast speed, the friction between the missile body and the air will generate a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, which is enough to melt or burn any material. Because anti-ship missiles need to fly in the atmosphere for a long time, even if they imitate aerospace plane and spacecraft, it is useless to apply a layer of insulating paint on the outer surface. It can be said that it was not until the end of the century that the speed of the anti-ship missile reached Mach. The main problem is that the speed of the anti-ship missile was not reached Mach. The main problem is that it was not possible to find an effective way to solve the ultra-high temperature generated by high-speed flight. Of course, the power system of the missile is also a problem. The drag of an object when flying in the atmosphere is proportional to the square of the speed. If the speed is doubled, the drag will be increased by 4 times. To increase the flight speed of the missile from Mach 2 to Mach 3, the thrust required needs to be increased by four times. When the volume and mass of the power system cannot be greatly improved, it is definitely not easy to increase the thrust by 0 times.
It can be said that speed and high temperature are two problems of mutual generation and coordination.
The problem is that before the Shu Year, no one has linked these two problems and solved them.
It was not until years later, that is, when anti-ship missiles with speeds as high as the old Mach showed great power in actual combat, that missile engineers from the Republic and the United States focused on breaking through the "Libe Sonic Barrier". At that time, engineers from the Republic and the United States proposed a solution almost at the same time, that is, isolate missiles from the air.
In fact, this is not a creative idea either.
As early as the beginning of the century, Russia's "Storm" torpedo used supercavitation technology. The "Supercavitation Technology" is to isolate the torpedo from water, thereby completely eliminating the resistance generated by sea water, and increasing the maximum speed of the torpedo from the blade joint to the strong joint is equivalent to four meters per second. In comparison, missiles flying in the atmosphere must also use a similar method.
Theories are not complicated, but they are very complicated to implement.
In seawater, high-pressure air can be used to blow open the seawater. Compared with seawater, the density of air is much lower, and the resistance generated is much smaller. For torpedoes with a speed of only 0 knots, the resistance generated by the air is almost negligible. In the atmosphere, to isolate the missile from the air, a layer of vacuum must be created between the missile and the air. It is not difficult to create a vacuum. The problem is that the vacuum cannot exist naturally in the atmosphere and cannot be preserved for a long time. Coupled with the negative pressure generated by the vacuum, it will reduce the flight speed of the missile.
The solution is not without it, it is just not easy to implement.
The principle is also very simple, that is, to use the repulsion effect of the electromagnetic field. First, ionize the air around the missile. That is, let the molecules in the air become charged ions, and they are charged ions of the same nature, and then the missile body has the same nature charge. As long as the electric field is strong enough, the electric field repulsion can be used to discharge the charged air ions and create a layer on the outer surface of the missile.
.
The biggest problem to make this theory come true is to get enough power
.
Take a sight missile as an example. For an anti-ship missile with a thug of force kilograms of bullets, it is definitely impossible to carry a four-kilogram composite battery. Even if it is replaced with a force-level composite battery that was born in the laboratory at the beginning of childhood, it is difficult to meet the needs. Because the power storage capacity of the composite battery is proportional to the mass, that is, to the volume of the battery, and the surface area of the missile is proportional to the quadratic power of the volume, so in the absence of other methods, it can only be improved by increasing the mass of the missile.
High missile flight speed. In fact, before E, the mass of the first experimental anti-ship missile with a speed of Limach exceeded 0 kilograms. Obviously, a missile weighing kilograms is not only expensive to be accepted by any army. It does not have the ability to deploy practical combat. To put it bluntly, even if it is launched with a strategic bomber, a bomber can only carry 2 to 6 missiles. At least a concave bomber is required to carry a saturation strike, and the battle group of the aircraft carrier is much higher.
The Republic was able to take the lead in developing a Mach 20 anti-ship missile because it made breakthroughs in related technologies.
Compared with other anti-ship missiles, the biggest feature of the aiming is to maintain a relatively slender structure of the missile. A "tail" with a length of more than meter is drawn from the middle of a rocket ramjet integrated engine. Usually, this metal wire made of memory alloy is buried at the tail of the missile and will only stretch out after the missile is launched and the speed exceeds the old Mach. The function of this "tail" is very simple, which is to provide a comprehensive electric field for the surrounding charged ions. To put it bluntly, the shell of the aiming is negatively charged. When the missile flies rapidly, the surrounding negatively charged ions will be under the electric field force and atmospheric pressure.
Under the action, quickly concentrate on the tail of the missile. If there is no such "tail", these ions will be enriched to a certain extent.

Releasing excess electricity through discharge, which will affect the missile's speed and direction. With this "tail", the negatively charged ions can release electricity here, and at the same time, it can accelerate the movement speed of charged ions and form a powerful electric field and pressure field at the tail of the missile. The "tail" is several meters long, mainly to weaken the attractions of charged ions of the opposite sex and negatively affect the missile's flight speed.
The biggest advantage of doing this is to speed up the movement of charged ions on the outer surface, reducing the air density on the front of the missile by several orders of magnitude. This greatly reduces the "discharge" requirements of the missile, which also prevents the missile from carrying too many composite batteries, so that the missile's quality can be controlled within a reasonable range.
It can be said that this is a very clever and practical design.
This design has no major breakthrough in theory, but it fully reflects the creativity of engineers. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Si, please log in to read
The rapid improvement of anti-ship missile performance forces the fleet's air defense system to quickly upgrade.
2 Western years" Mach's anti-ship missile made countries around the world look at the Republic's anti-ship missiles with admiration. At this time, the US Navy, which has always not paid much attention to anti-ship missiles, accelerated the speed of relevant research and re-evaluated the fleet's air defense capabilities. After learning that the Republic is stepping up the development of anti-ship missiles with a speed of up to 100% Mach, the US Navy adjusted the fleet's air defense order in an abnormal manner, put the outer air defense that had originally given high expectations and put the fleet's last interception capability to the most important one.
In fact, the only thing that can truly resist Mach anti-ship missiles is the end-interception system based on energy weapons.
Because the velocity principle of the 2-MH anti-ship missile is not complicated, the US Navy prioritized the particle beam weapon when seeking countermeasures, and it is a charged ion beam weapon, rather than a neutral particle beam weapon that is recognized by the international community as more promising in development. The reason is very simple. The charged ion beam weapon can effectively destroy the "vacuum film" of the Mach anti-ship missile, which causes the missile to burn in the atmosphere before hitting the target.
Although charged particle beam weapons have a fatal flaw, that is, they will be affected by the earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, and their range and accuracy are not very high, in close combat, this problem is hardly considered and will not have much impact.
Unfortunately, particle beam weapons are still a long way from practicality.
Relatively speaking, high-energy pulsed laser weapons have more development prospects, and have at least been used on modern warships of the Republic and the US Navy. Like charged particle beam weapons, high-energy pulsed laser weapons can generate charged ions by generating high temperatures on targets, thereby destroying the missile's "vacuum film" and ultimately burning the missile in the atmosphere.
The problem is that high-energy pulsed laser weapons have very high requirements for energy systems and can only be deployed on large warships with high-power controlled fusion reactors as power systems. In the US Navy, only the latest "Jefferson-class aircraft carriers and the power systems on the "Lawrence-class" destroyers meet this requirement. In other words, only these two warships are equipped with high-energy pulsed laser weapons.
The last-stage interception systems of other warships are either continuous-wave laser interception developed in the early days of the Force or electromagnetic rapid-fire gun developed in the late days of the Force. Although these two last-stage interception systems also focus on energy weapons, these two systems can only deal with anti-ship missiles with flight speeds below the old Mach, and cannot deal with anti-ship missiles with flight speeds up to the Ugly Mach.
.
For the US Navy fleet, the most fortunate thing is that Phenol cannot launch cluster attacks like other anti-ship missiles, because missiles are generated by ionization.
The "vacuum membrane" is used to achieve the speed of Limach, so the missile has very high requirements for the surrounding environment during flight. Unusual disturbances may affect the missile and eventually burn in the atmosphere. That is to say, if several missiles launch assaults from the same direction and the distance between them is too short, even if only one missile is intercepted, it may lead to the effectiveness of all missiles. In this way, when attacking, the phenol has very high requirements for the setting of the ballistic, and it will be difficult to launch a cluster attack.
In other words, the six battle groups that were fighting on the USS Oregon at this time were not more than a few, but about four. The reason for the mistaken judgment of the US warship was very simple, that is, when Bibi attacked at the last stage, it would throw away the missile body connected to the cruise engine. Without reaching the maximum range, the missile body and the warhead would not crash immediately after it was separated, but would continue to fly forward along the course of separation at a speed slightly slower than the warhead. Because the stone warheads occupy the end of the total mass of the missile. Therefore, the American warship regarded the separated warheads and missile bodies as missiles, thus exaggerating the number of incoming missiles.
Even so, more than four missiles still occupied all the attacking air thugs in the south of the US fleet.
Because it lost its peripheral interception capability, after using forced electromagnetic interference and reorganization, the US fleet immediately intercepted the incoming missiles at the end.
