Chapter 925 Air Defense Plan
In fact, several key issues that Roland talked about before, followed by the air defense force.
As someone who has seen modern warfare, the importance of air superiority is etched in his mind almost like a creed. Because of the breadth and depth of the sky, the dominant side can choose to attack from any direction and at any time. Before the radar appeared, such an attack was impossible to prevent. If there is no reliable air defense capability, trying to establish a shelling position under the eyes of the devil is tantamount to a dream.
He could now be sure that the Devil had approached the Western Frontier more than once when Lorgar had fled back to Neverwinter. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to judge that this is a city dominated by ordinary people, and try to use the threat of the first War of Divine Will to repeat the same trick.
But whether it was the outpost on the Desperate Mountain Range or the God's Punishment Witch who went out to the defense line for early warning and investigation, they never noticed it at all. If Sylvie hadn't taken over the vigilance work, I'm afraid this round of attacks would not be until the enemy appeared outside the city wall. , the First Army can react.
This has fully proved that under the current technical conditions, the vast sky will be the biggest loophole in Neverwinter's defense line.
After all, the Air Force is an unimaginable concept for this era.
Roland has been thinking about air defense after knowing that the devil has a flying beast. Unfortunately, no one could have expected that the devil would appear so early that the planned desperate line of defense, the telephone network, and the development of new weapons were all None of them were actually completed.
The failure of the First Army to achieve victory did not surprise him. The revolver rifle was used as a transitional weapon to supplement the blind spot of artillery fire and machine guns, and it was easy to use when cleaning the battlefield, but its shortcomings became increasingly prominent. The limited chamber pressure As a result, its accuracy is not high, and its range is short; if it is not equipped with a special loader, the five-round capacity of the shell makes the firepower delivered per unit time very limited, which is not conducive to skirmish operations. In addition, the anti-aircraft shooting has lost its usual stable fulcrum, and cannot be adjusted by the error of the impact point judgment, its hit rate can be imagined.
It is not impossible to improve this situation in a short period of time, and the easiest way is to modify the above points.
It is planned to phase out the revolver rifle and replace it with a new bolt-action rifle. Before that, some parts still needed to be processed by Anna, so only a small-scale precision shooter team was equipped. But as a new generation of machine tools is put into use, workers are gradually familiar with new manufacturing methods, which can be processed and assembled without relying on witches. Once the yield rate is guaranteed, it is not a problem to increase the production capacity of this part.
However, it is a bit difficult to rely on a few rifles for air defense alone, and compared with the runner, although the accuracy and range of the former will increase, the rate of fire will decrease. In addition, the complex structure of the tracer bullet is unbearable for the bullet production line that is already operating at full capacity. Even if the technical research is started now, when the mass production can be stabilized, I am afraid that the evil moon will pass.
Therefore, the bolt-action rifle can only be used as an auxiliary, and the First Army also needs a targeted air defense weapon.
Roland estimated that the advanced fire control route was basically useless, and the bullet screen coverage flow became his only choice.
The easiest and most effective method is to convert the Mark 1 heavy machine gun into an anti-aircraft machine gun. This is also a common practice in history. There is no need to add the slightest burden to production and logistics. Just design a set of high-level dual-purpose brackets and sights. low-altitude defense capabilities.
He did not use a water-cooled casing when he designed the Mark 1 before, but a lightweight air-cooled barrel, which was also the reason for subsequent modifications.
The heavy machine gun has a high rate of fire, a long range, great power, and an insignificant ballistic fall within a short distance. It is just enough to deal with a madman with a limited throwing distance. If the devil attacks the city wall with two Mark-1 machine guns that can shoot in the air, Maybe the results will be completely different.
After announcing the end of the meeting, Roland did not return to the office immediately, but went to the Arithmetic Institute first.
This new courtyard is located at the southern end of the castle district, echoing the chemical laboratory next door, and most of the members are members of the Astrological Society. However, under the aura of the sage's learning, many urbanites who have completed the elementary education courses have recently chosen to work in the Arithmetic Academy, and even the applicants are one or two percent more than those who joined the Alchemy Association.
Roland speculates that this is probably the reason for the frequent explosion accidents in the laboratory.
The Scattered Star Maester greeted him in the hall.
After the salute, the chief astrologer excitedly expressed the profundity and beauty of mathematics.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness, the "Analytic Geometry" you gave me before is a masterpiece! I never thought that the world would one day be so clear. It has nothing to do with the brightness of the eyes, but a person's The way of thinking. Even if my eyes are dim in the future, and I can no longer look up at the stars, the world will still be clear. For example, your curly hair now is pure numbers and symbols in my eyes, and your robe and long boots..."
Seeing that the other party couldn't stop for a while, Roland had to interrupt him, "Have you mastered all the content in the book?"
"I can't say for sure, but most of them should be fine," Dispersed Star restrained his emotions, "In the past six months, apart from the calculation tasks you explained, everyone has been busy with a huge task, which is to All the stars observed in the past were re-recorded in the form of equations. For this reason, we established the starry sky coordinates, and also determined that the world-destroying star, also known as the red moon, has no signs of moving."
Roland had paid attention to the red moon before. After all, its arrival symbolized the beginning of the battle of divine will, but now that the devil had appeared, it was meaningless to pay attention to this countdown star.
"I have a new calculation task that needs to be done by you, and the sooner the better," he said directly to the topic, "but this time it is not just simple arithmetic, but also to solve practical problems with the First Army."
"You mean writing the gun firing table like last time?"
"It's more complicated," Roland shook his head. "With the help of craftsmen, you have to make a device that can predict the movement of the target. It is controlled by two equations that interact with each other, one describing the displacement in the horizontal direction, and the other describing the movement of the target. Displacement in the vertical direction. I have a general design idea here, but the specific parameters need to be determined after your actual measurement.”
This is a simple prototype of anti-aircraft sights. By setting the heading, distance and other parameters of the target, the high angle and advance angle required by the gun body can be given, so as to spread the bullet rain on the flight path of the enemy to complete the air defense. blocking. It does not require any electronic equipment, the structure is fully mechanical manual operation, the only thing needed is a calculated shot table,
