Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 119, Second Revolution

The river field is called "the ancient sea battle, the sea battle, which can be said to be the second-sun battle.

From the perspective of the tactical scope of maritime operations, the Third World War had two major turning points.

The first turning point was that the "Maldives Naval Battle" that took place on the Shanghai war stage and became a weapon of naval battle. Although in this battle, the performance of surface ships equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns was not completely satisfactory due to secondary factors such as range, the performance of surface ships equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns was not completely satisfactory, but the actual combat results have proved that the era of ultra-long-range fire strikes represented by large-caliber electromagnetic guns has arrived. Naval battles will enter an era where firepower delivery determines victory or defeat, rather than air force determines victory or defeat. In the next few naval battles, the main battleship boarded the naval battle stage and conquered the ocean with a "five-minute performance", making the aircraft carrier that dominated the ocean for more than 100 years become a supporting role.

In just a few years, the amazing technological progress has brought the combat effectiveness of the main ship to its peak.

.

It has to be admitted that war has an unparalleled driving effect on the development of science and technology. To put it bluntly, many technologies that cannot be imagined in normal times can not only be imagined during wars, but will soon become reality. To give the simplest example, nuclear weapons born in World War II. Without World War II and without the crazy pursuit of victory by both sides of the war, based on the normal development speed in peacetime, even if there is another hundred years, it may not be possible to create atomic bombs that can be used in actual combat. It can even be said that without World War II, no politician would believe that it could create bombs that can destroy a city or even destroy the entire human race. Similar to atomic bombs, there are many other technologies that have had a significant impact on human civilization, such as antibiotics, electronic technology, computers, etc., which are all related to war, and they were originally serving war.

In a sense, the electric power revolution is also related to war.

The Third World War was actually the direct result of the major adjustment of the production structure of human society triggered by the electric power revolution, and it was a direct confrontation between old empires and emerging powers in order to compete for the dominance of human civilization.

This influence goes deep into all levels of war.

The emergence of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft and its widespread application on the battlefield have fundamentally changed the appearance and tactics of ground war, allowing ground troops to no longer rely on basic transportation lines such as roads and railways, and minimized by the geographical environment, so that they can act more flexibly and freely, completely subverting traditional ground tactics.

Of course, this influence is also reflected in the navy. This is an energy weapon represented by electromagnetic cannons.

Without electromagnetic cannons, naval combat tactics are likely to be regressed for more than a hundred years.

Importantly, technological progress will not stop because some tactics are verified. When a revolutionary technology makes a breakthrough, the tactics will inevitably undergo major changes. This is just like the emergence of an internal combustion engine that allows humans to gain the ability to fly into the sky for the first time, thus allowing aviation troops to become the master of the battlefield. Aviation tactics determine everything. The second major turning point comes from a technological revolution.

Quantum communication technology!

As a basic technology, quantum theory and relativity appear almost at the same time, and it is a contradiction from the beginning, that is, in the microscopic world dominated by quantum theory, the speed of light is not the fastest speed of information transmission.

Since quantum theory was confirmed, scientists from all over the world have never stopped related research. The biggest dream of almost all quantum theory scholars is to turn quantum theory from theory to reality like an atomic bomb. For example, in the Knife Century, countries around the world have spent a lot of effort, hoping to turn quantum theory into reality and develop so-called quantum computers, thereby breaking through the limitations of electronic computers and gaining more powerful information processing capabilities.

Quantum theory is not profound, but it is very difficult to become reality.

By comparing it with relativity, we can find that quantum theory can only be used at the micro level, and humans' ability to control the micro level is obviously not as good as that of controlling the macro level.

This is also the reason why atomic bombs are easier to manufacture than quantum computers.

Of course, another important factor is that it is not huge enough to cause qualitative change from quantitative change.

You know, without World War II, the atomic bomb would not have exploded in Nannian and changed human history through this.

If you can achieve investment that causes qualitative change, you can only fight a large-scale war.

Of course, before the outbreak of the war, the Republic and the United States invested huge amounts of scientific research funds in the field of quantum.

According to the data declassified after the war, as early as the early 1900s, that is, the early stage of the power revolution, the Republic set up a special laboratory at the National Physical Experimental Center, and provided 1000 scientific research funds for the use of the theory of capacity through national scientific research. In the past 20 years, research funds used in related fields reached several thousand yuan, but the results achieved were very limited.

In the final analysis, it is still insufficient investment.

This situation has changed in Yo years.

In the face of the threat of war, scientific research funding is no longer a problem. More importantly, the Republican Team was facing a very serious problem at that time, namely, the forced electromagnetic interference system spread around the world, turning many precise guidance weapons into decorations. If communication means are not found without electromagnetic interference, and making them practical, the Republican Team had to return to the era of mechanization and rely on mechanical power and manpower to win the Third World War. There is no doubt that this impossible thing in North Football, or it would pay a very heavy price for this...

The new communication theory is ready-made, that is, quantum theory, but it is very difficult to make it practical.

Since the rough year, as the Republic initiated war preparations, the scientific research funds used for quantum theory research have increased dozens of times. More importantly, this year, the Republican authorities adopted the suggestions of the Center for Physical Experiment and shifted the focus of quantum theory application research from quantum computers to quantum communication.

One important reason for doing this is that quantum communication is simpler.

Theoretically, the states of microscopic particles can be divided into high-energy states and low-energy states, and these two states are equivalent to the switching circuits in an electronic computer, that is, the sum of 0 in binary. In this way, information can be instantly transmitted to another or several homomorphic quantums by controlling the energy state of microscopic particles and combining quantum theory to achieve the purpose of transmitting information without intervals. Because the information is not relied on the electromagnetic field to transmit information, this communication means will not be affected by electromagnetic interference. More importantly, the state of microscopic particles cannot be imitated, so the quantum communication system can be absolutely confidential in theory.

In short, quantum communication has a very bright future.

Of course, this is also in line with the appetite of the Republican team. After all, what the army needs most is not faster computers, but safe and effective means of communication.

The problem is that obtaining more than 2 homomorphic quantums is the biggest technical problem.

In order to solve this problem, thousands of top scientists in the Republic spent more than ten or even decades until the year of the release, that is, in the fourth year of World War III, they obtained a pair of homomorphic quantums for the first time through the accelerator and successfully separated them, thus proving the correctness of quantum communication theory.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it is not difficult at the beginning.

Because during the war, quantum communication technology was first applied to the military.

This is the world's first "remote-controlled fighter" because quantum communication is not limited by speed and can transmit information instantly, so the response speed of remote-controlled fighter is no slower than that of manned driving. Quantum communication is theoretically uninterrupted, so there will be no problem of communication obstruction. More importantly, the information transmission speed of quantum communication systems is hundreds of times that of electromagnetic communication, and in theory it can even reach infinity, so remote-controlled fighter will not have communication bandwidth problems.

Of course, having an advanced communication technology alone cannot bring advanced weapons and equipment.

As a fighter of the era of development, in addition to using quantum communication equipment to transmit remote control information, it also integrates almost all advanced technologies that can be used. For example, this is the world's first fighter with truly aerospace combat capabilities. To be precise, it is to have complete orbital combat capabilities without sacrificing combat capabilities in the atmosphere and be able to perform combat tasks like orbital vehicles. For example, this is the world's first fighter that completely adopts power lift technology, that is, there is no aerodynamic lift structure, no wings, and no body that can generate lift, and there is no need to adopt special designs to increase lift. Instead, it is designed entirely based on the combat purpose, that is, the combat tasks performed, to maximize its combat effectiveness.

Among many technologies, the most prominent one is the control technology called "consciousness remote control".

The so-called "remote control" is definitely not the kind of thing that controls the remote control to fight thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers away. You should know that if the traditional control method is adopted, that is, control by limbs, communication technology has long been no problem. The real bottleneck lies in the human nervous system. That is, the human reaction speed cannot keep up with the combat requirements. It is precisely because of this that in many so-called high-mobile combat loosenings such as Xiaohu, life assistance systems are needed, drugs, currents, etc. are used to stimulate the pilot's reaction nerves, so that the pilot's reaction speed can be increased several times, and even dozens of times without these technologies, manned fighters have long been replaced by unmanned fighters.

Unfortunately, the reaction speed of the organism is limited after all.

In order to maximize the potential of remote-controlled fighter jets, this situation must be changed so that the humans who control weapons and equipment are no longer the restrictors of the performance of weapons.

The only feasible thing is "consciousness control technology"

The so-called "consciousness control technology" is to directly collect the brain waves of the controller, analyze the brain waves, figure out the controller's intentions, and then implement these intentions by equipment. Because "consciousness control technology" belongs to the field of electromagnetics, the technology span is not very large, it has matured before the outbreak of the war, but is affected by application scope, reliability and other factors. It was not until several years after the outbreak of the war that it was applied to the clown. The problem is that without reliable communication technology, the consciousness control system is not completely closed to avoid being affected by electromagnetic interference. In other words, pilots still have to stay on the fighter jet, and the pilot's physical ability to withstand naturally becomes the shortcoming of the fighter jet's maneuverability. Even if the anti-duty service and drugs that can improve the body's affordability are used, humans can only withstand multiple overloads at most, and this is the limit of the maneuverability of the last generation of manned fighter jets.

"Consciousness control" plus "quantum communication" becomes "Consciousness remote control"

Because the personnel who control the fighter are not on the fighter, they naturally cannot be called pilots staying behind, so the maneuverability of the fighter is no longer limited by the ability of a human aircraft. It can be mentioned as much as possible that the Boat-controlled fighter knows the lift structure. The reason is very simple. In traditional aerospace vehicles, the parts that mainly provide lift, such as the wing's bearing capacity, can be regarded as structural defects. To improve the maneuverability of the aircraft as much as possible, it must be removed like leaving the pilot on the ground.

Influenced by this, the first generation of remote-controlled fighters were completely different from aircraft in the traditional sense, and even rebellious fighters like the Joker.

If we look at it from the shape, it is not an exaggeration to describe a remote-controlled fighter as "flying duck egg".

Theoretically, the spherical shape is the best bearing body in three-dimensional space, that is, it can withstand the maximum external force when using the least material. In this way, in order to improve the overload capacity of the aircraft, it is necessary to try to improve the structural bearing capacity of the aircraft. It is naturally better to design the aircraft into a spherical shape. The problem is that the aircraft will generate aerodynamic resistance when flying at high speed. Especially at the bottom of the atmosphere, the aerodynamic resistance is even the main external force that the flying machine bears, so an absolute spherical structure cannot be used, and the oval structure can better adapt to flight in the atmosphere.

Of course, if flying within the atmosphere is not considered, the spherical shape is the most ideal appearance.

Mu Yong doubted that this is definitely a super fighter that is least like a fighter, and it is this kind of fighter that completely changed the appearance of naval combat.

This fighter jet with a maximum overload of more than four and capable of flying at a speed of 40,000 kilometers per hour can easily tear the fleet's air defense net under any circumstances, and even drop the bombs onto the target before the fleet's air defense system reacts.

If the cost is not considered, it can even be turned into a remote-controlled bomb.

In fact, the Republic's Navy did have such plans.

In this way, the range of the large-caliber electromagnetic gun is nothing.

To be honest, if you don’t consider returning, the remote-controlled fighter can attack targets in any corner of the world, and the maximum range of the electromagnetic gun is only more than a thousand meters. Just as the battle was about to fight, the main battleship was killed by the bomb dropped by the remote-controlled fighter before seeing the target.

Of course, it is not just the main ships that are affected, but the entire navy.

As long as the secondary technical problem of limiting the combat radius of remote-controlled fighter jets is solved, it is a problem whether the navy has the necessity to exist. Even if the navy has the necessity to exist, human technology is not strong enough to reach the point where large-scale colonization of other planets, most people still have to live on the earth, and they cannot live without the ocean and sea transportation. However, when the sea surface ships have become decorations, the only thing that needs to be preserved is to move under the water and not be seriously threatened by submarines.

The problem is that in the past 3 years, the first generation of remote-controlled fighter still has to be subject to many restrictions.

The biggest problem is that the combat radius is limited.

Affected by this, the first generation of remote-controlled fighter jets were not incorporated into the Sky Army, but were organized into the Navy's combat sequence to jointly bear the development funds. Although this fighter jet that weighs less than a ton, does not require a runway, or catapult can be deployed on almost all large warships, the Republic's Navy still deploys this fighter jet on a maritime base and places the control personnel in the local naval base.

In addition to the security factor, the main purpose of doing this is to keep it confidential, because the Republic's Navy at that time claimed that it was unmanned fighters, not remote-controlled fighters, and did not declare it to be "consciousness remote-controlled" fighters. Of course, there is another reason that cannot be avoided, that is, the control system of the first generation of remote-controlled fighters is relatively complicated. Maintenance and maintenance are both troublesome. In addition, the network equipment troops were used before only in combat supporting Puerto Rico, so it is more appropriate to deploy military bases in the local area.

Of course, the biggest change brought by new equipment is still tactical.

The U.S. Navy did not know that the Republican Navy already had the means to directly strike thousands of kilometers away, so it did not make any corresponding preparations.

Because the Republic Navy sent eight main fleets to the Caribbean Sea, the aviation fleet that operates in concert was mainly equipped with traditional fighters such as Blade. In the eyes of the US Navy, naval battles are still the stage for main ships, not the stage for aviation. When deploying troops, the US Navy always focused on those main fleets, did not pay attention to the maritime base groups deployed in the northern waters of Venezuela, and did not take those "unmanned fighters" that had previously only performed well in ground support. Naturally, they did not make any corresponding preparations.

Not to mention anything else, the fighter jets sent by the US military to cover the main fleet cannot intercept remote-controlled fighter jets at all.

The result of this naval battle is naturally conceivable.

In a sense, this naval battle is the work of the navy's peak and the death knell of the navy.

To use post-war evaluation, after the "Cuba Navy Battle", there was no need for the navy to exist anymore. Human civilization officially moved towards the space age, and war officially entered the aerospace era!
