Chapter 1086: Unsmooth Time and Space
The two fleets opened fire almost simultaneously.
The history of Tianyuanxing has also opened a new page. Starting today, the military war on Tianyuan Star will officially extend to outer space.
As the two sides issued the order to fire, not only the various fleets were paying attention to the results, but even the rear, Zhang Hao and other high-level officials, and even the people were paying attention to the situation of this 'war'.
Over the years, the relationship between the world's three major alliances, which are superficially confrontational and substantively cooperative, has also become public. So now the common people are not worried about the world war, but more concerned about: who can snatch the satellite named "Legend"?
But outsiders don't know that Dayang Group has been quietly making arrangements for the distant Pluto.
The Pluto of this world (named by Zhang Hao) has a diameter of 30,000 kilometers. According to the detection, the texture is similar to the "Legendary" satellite, with a large water content; the initial detection place has an average ice thickness of hundreds of kilometers.
But Pluto has even more abundant resources. Mountains up to tens of thousands of meters have been discovered on Pluto. On a planet with a diameter of more than 30,000 kilometers, there are mountains of tens of thousands of meters that have not been crushed by gravity. This means that the planet's gravity is low.
In fact, according to the current detection, the density of Pluto is less than 3 points, and there are a large amount of solidified carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen, etc. on the surface. But no atmosphere was found on Uranus, because it was too cold and the atmosphere was frozen.
Moreover, the ice layer on Pluto has a considerable amount of heavy water. Moreover, the difficulty of overall resource development here is more convenient than that of the 'Legendary' satellite.
However, no magnetic field has been found on Pluto, but Dayang Group can build artificial bases. And recently, Dayang Group's artificial magnetic field technology has matured!
However, the development of Pluto has been arranged, Zhang Hao just wait quietly. What is more important now is to pay attention to this space war.
Because of the use of gunpowder weapons, you can see the flames flickering at the muzzle when the weapon explodes.
The two fleets have begun to shoot at each other frantically. The victor can not only occupy the legendary satellite, but also get generous bonuses.
For this military performance, at the beginning, the three major alliances jointly allocated five billion Lingyuan. But later, various enterprise groups participated, and the accumulated funds reached 7 billion Lingyuan.
Among them, there are two billion Lingyuan, which will be used to reward those who perform well in the exercise. But victory itself is the greatest 'excellence'!
Behind the two fleets, there are three observation and rescue spacecraft sent by the United Nations. The spacecraft is responsible for observing, recording, and refereeing everyone's performance, and will also carry out necessary rescue. But once they are rescued, it means 'death on the battlefield', and they cannot return to the exercise.
Time passed little by little, but after more than 24 hours of frenzied exchange of fire between the two sides, everyone unanimously ceased fire. Everyone was shocked to find that none of them hit each other! Even once!
Among the ASEAN and Dayang Group fleets, Murong Shan frowned deeply. In the past 24 hours, an average of 300 attacks per hour! Even if the shells need to fly for 14 hours, in the first ten hours, a total of more than 3,000 shells were fired, no matter how they can achieve certain results!
You know, this is not the giant ship cannon that Dayang Group was when it first developed. At that time, whether the shooting was accurate or not, three points depended on the battleship and artillery technology, two points depended on the gunner's ability, and half depended on luck.
But the current technology is strictly calculated by the computer. There is no such complex, unpredictable weather in space. It is the gravitational force of some celestial bodies.
Celestial gravity sounds complicated, but as long as the law is calculated and entered into the computer at the beginning, the computer will automatically correct it.
Therefore, in theory, the hit rate is not 100%, but 90% should be.
But now, it turned out to be perfect... no hit!
There is absolutely something wrong with this.
Then, this serious question finally fell on the shoulders of Wang Hong, the representative of the scientific advisory team.
Wang Hong is really capable. He quickly determined: "All of them missed, and both of us are like this, so there must be a key factor that has not been taken into account. And this factor should be unknown to us at present!
If it's just inaccurate, with so many attacks, it's impossible to miss every time! "
Murong Shan also calmed down, and nodded slowly, "That's right, it should be so. Science, there is no room for sloppy. So now... let everyone stop attacking and distance themselves from each other.
In addition, contact the rear to find out the reason.
By the way, enable laser aiming technology, manual aiming. Then compare with computer data. See where the error is. "
Following Murong Shan's order, the laser targeting was activated first. The first set of data was quickly obtained by using manual locking:
Within a range of 500,000 kilometers, the deviation reached three parts per million! That is a deviation of about 150 meters.
But the current spaceship, no matter what shape it is, generally has a size of more than 200 meters and a radius of about 100 meters. Then if the error reaches 150 meters, the iron will not be able to hit the target!
Soon, the second set of data came out, 3.2 parts per million; more and more data appeared later. The overall deviation is about 2.7 to 3.8 parts per million.
The reason why the error is so large is because the temporary measurement method is not accurate. We didn't develop technology specifically for this, we just used laser ranging to measure.
For more than 500,000 kilometers, the laser travels back and forth to millions of kilometers, and errors are inevitable. Especially now that everyone vaguely understands that although the starry sky looks like nothing, it is not so 'pure' here!
It's just such a big error, but it makes it impossible for everyone to adjust.
The spacecraft began to gradually move away from each other. However, about half an hour later, when the distance between the two sides increased by about 7,000 kilometers, a warship of the Dayang Group suddenly sent an alarm—it was hit!
Everyone was shocked, but Murong Shan suddenly smiled: "Before the news comes from behind, we will do this. Attack data, etc., continue to do as before. But we will finally aim at the target and get closer. Just get closer to 3,000 kilometers To 10,000 kilometers. Try it yourself.
So now, keep firing!
In addition, those who defend also pay attention to avoiding the enemy. "
Because the shells had to fly for 14 hours, maybe a little more-because the two sides were now separated.
After 14 hours, the effect finally came out. A large number of solid shells began to fall on the fleets of the Xuanhuang Group and the ASEAN.
Of course, this 'mass' is also relative to the previous one. The actual hit target is still less than one percent. But this is already a huge improvement-it was zero before! So, this is a leap forward.
Then Murong Shan asked everyone to count the data of the cannon hitting the target, and began to make adjustments.
An hour later, Wang Hong used a large amount of data to obtain the first error: 3.312 ± 0.3 parts per million; according to this figure, moving the aiming point closer can increase the hit rate.
As for the specific error of a few parts per million, it depends on the experience of the attackers-let's fight by feeling!
So far, the hit rate of Dayang Group and ASEAN has increased to 1.7%!
But the other party is not a fool, and is also beginning to correct the data. And gradually brought a little damage to the fleet of Dayang Group and ASEAN.
Another hour later, Wang Hong corrected the error again, which was 3.307±0.28 parts per million. So far, the hit rate of the Dayang Group and the ASEAN fleet has increased to 1.9% again!
Murong Shan decisively ordered to focus fire on an opponent's spaceship and use it to collect data.
After 14 hours and 27 minutes, one of the opponent's spacecraft "exploded". Explosion, the reason why the quotation marks are added is because... it didn't really explode, but according to the calculation results, the spaceship should have exploded.
The thin steel plate installed on the outside of the spaceship has been completely destroyed—this steel plate is a different kind of target.
Our military exercises use gunpowder weapons; if it is a real interstellar battle, we use rail guns. Therefore, this thin steel plate is to artillery what a spaceship is to a rail gun.
Now the thin steel plate has been broken down, especially the steel plate at the nuclear island and the core area of the plasma engine. The calculation result of the computer is: the spacecraft exploded violently and disintegrated directly. Seventy percent of all military materials were lost, thirty percent of the crew near the nuclear island and the plasma engine died, and the remaining seventy percent were seriously injured.
In addition, due to the concentrated fire, according to the attack position of the shell and the position of the crew in the spaceship at that time, all crew members were reduced by 30% and seriously injured by 40%.
Under the judgment of the observation spacecraft sent by the United Nations in the rear, this "exploded" spacecraft can remove 30% of the supplies and remove some parts and components. Temporary stay in the spaceship 'after the explosion'.
These 'exploding' spaceships will not withdraw, but continue to observe, learn, analyze and understand their own shortcomings. According to the plan, they can return in a month-equivalent to supplementing new fighters and spaceships.
In the next few days, the hit rate of both sides began to increase continuously, but it was still difficult to break through the 3% hit rate! Wang Hong, the military adviser of Dayang Group and ASEAN, even discovered a problem: the error value is unstable!
"This is wrong!" Wang Hong frowned deeply as he looked at the data of the last few days.
The data in the last few days, because there are enough raw data collected, the accuracy continues to increase. Therefore, recent datasets have no '±' complement.
The data in front of Wang Hong at this moment is a series of irregular numbers: the highest is 3.317, and the lowest is 3.106; linking all the numbers together, matching the time coordinates, the distance traveled by the fleet, etc., an irregular line appears. curve.
This curve is like an ocean wave, large and small waves are mixed with each other, and sometimes two consecutive troughs or peaks will appear for you, without any rules at all.
However, when Schubenen looked at the data, time, and planetary rotation together, he exclaimed: "I found it, I found it.
You see, when the first numerical value is large, our position is just on the extension line of the sun and Venus.
When the first number is at its maximum, we are on the reverse connection between Jupiter and the Sun. Jupiter is on the other side of the sun.
This error is caused by gravity! "
"Gravity?" Wang Hong was thoughtful, "It looks like it, but it feels a bit forced."
"It's not gravity, it's time-space distortion!" Murong Shan suddenly walked over, "Just now there was news from behind, and the cause of the error has been found.
In the words of Mr. Zhang: Space-time is not smooth. Affected by gravity, space-time is uneven. However, the unevenness of time and space is not like the potholes on the road, but more like the sea.
Think about it, everyone, the density of the sea itself should be uniform. However, due to the different salt content, different dissolved minerals, and different temperatures, the density of seawater will be different.
Perhaps this difference is very weak, but if the distance is pulled to a scale of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, this difference cannot be ignored.
If the density is different, the light transmittance, refractive index, etc. will be different.
And applying this way in the universe, the salt is the planet. This planet is not only the Tianyuan star, the sun, etc., but also includes the entire huge galaxy. After all, our galaxy itself is attracted to large galaxies. "
Wang Hong suddenly realized: "So that's the case! But if this is the case, isn't it more complicated to calculate?"
"No. Because the interference of large galaxies to us is basically constant. What really changes is the massive planets inside our galaxies.
In the past ten days, the scientists behind have already deduced the rules of space-time distortion.
I have sent the data to your mailbox, please take a look and enter it into the computer. "
"Okay!" Wang Hong turned his head and left. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head and asked, "Space-time is not smooth, this word is very good. Who proposed this? How did you find it?"
Murong Shan was a little hesitant or puzzled, and paused for a while before saying: "I heard that Mr. Zhang proposed this word immediately after learning about our problem. He asked everyone to study it.
The use of seawater as a metaphor for time and space was also proposed by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang even further proposed that gravity is just an appearance; the real reason is the distortion of time and space.
The so-called gravitational force is that we fall down from the angle of space-time.
Well, I don't quite understand these either. You first enter the data into the computer to see. If the accuracy rate is greatly improved, it means that the conclusion that the space-time is not smooth is correct. These are also a test of the new space-time theory. "
"Understood."
Wang Hong quickly found the email, decompressed the data, and input it into the computers of several warships, and then asked these newly upgraded warships to give the opponent some color.
Fourteen and a half hours later, two warships from the Xuanhuang Group left the stage sadly!
Wang Hong immediately counted the accuracy rate of the shells just now, but was surprised to find that the accuracy rate had increased to... 49%!
"Time and space are not smooth?" Wang Hong's eyes became brighter. While inputting new data for all the battleships, he looked at the fleet opposite: Maybe, there is something that can be done!
