Eight Hundred and Nine Come Prepared (2)
The fleet of flying missiles pursued fiercely, and the two sides faced each other. It didn't take long for the missile group to successfully approach the enemy ship, locking on the alien warship at various tricky angles, showing a strong determination not to give up until the goal was achieved.
A large number of Yuyu missiles successfully approached the alien fleet. As long as they crossed the last distance, the missiles could hit the target. The relationship between the two was like an infinite loop, either you died or I lived.
But as the distance gets closer, the density of the thin light becomes higher and higher, and more and more missiles are hit by the thin light.
Missiles are not cannonballs. Once destroyed by the thin light, they will lose their effect. Even if the wreckage hits an alien battleship, it will have no effect. Unless the thin light happens to destroy the propeller, the warhead is well preserved and it is just bad luck, and it happens to hit the alien battleship. .
However, there is no air resistance in space, and the missile's propeller and fuel tank are much smaller than conventional missiles. The warhead accounts for more than three-quarters of the length of the missile, and some models even reach four-fifths! It is a rare coincidence that the propeller is destroyed without damaging the warhead.
Thin Light destroyed more and more missiles, but if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Finally, a missile passed through Thin Light's tight defense and hit the side of the alien warship.
The aliens in the battleship were almost scared to death, but after waiting for a while, nothing unusual appeared. Several aliens couldn't help but look at each other.
Face-to-face battles with humans are not just once or twice. I don’t know how many companions have died from human stellar weapons. Every alien understands the consequences of being hit by stellar weapons.
The missile that hit the battleship was not a stellar weapon, and several aliens in the ship couldn't help but feel lucky.
At this time, several aliens suddenly heard a faint muffled sound. They still didn't know what happened, but they found that the air pressure inside the ship dropped sharply!
How did the aliens know that the missile that hit the battleship was an improved version of the Yuyu missile, which used a delayed detonation armor-breaking warhead?
The principle of armor-breaking bombs is very simple. The warhead is filled with plastic explosives. After hitting the target, the explosives will stick to the target. Then a delayed fuze detonates the explosives. The explosion generates huge pressure of hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, thereby shattering the target's armor. inner layer.
This thing was most popular during World War II. After the emergence of composite armor, this thing became a thing of yesterday. Every day is getting worse. It is now an outdated type of ammunition that is close to being eliminated. Few countries are still equipped with this kind of ammunition.
However, after various countries studied the shell of the alien warship and obtained first-hand information about the shell, they found that although the strength of this thing is good, under certain conditions, it is as brittle and hard as high-carbon steel.
Because of this unexpected characteristic,
Researchers in Beidu called the hull used for experiments an ice shell. Later, the name spread for some unknown reason, and the military gradually called the alien warship an ice ship, which means ice-white warship but also implies Refers to the fact that the outer shell of the alien battleship is not strong.
Later, Beidu conducted in-depth research and experiments on the ice shell, racking their brains to find effective ways to destroy the ice shell, and it didn't take long to pick up the armor-breaking shells that were almost eliminated.
The armor-breaking bombs used on ice ships are not as simple as they seem. When they explode, these armor-breaking bombs can produce super strong shock waves of a specific frequency, which can shatter the outer shell of the ice ship in a very short time and cause damage to the interior of the ship. A lot of air is lost.
The possibility of killing aliens due to loss of pressure is very small. At most, it will make the aliens panic for a while. Therefore, when the research department recommended armor-breaking bullets to the military, the military simply didn't understand how it could deal with alien warships!
But another effect of the armor-breaking bomb is definitely the heifer stand-the shock wave transmitted through the ice shell can destroy the internal structural strength of the ice ship!
At first glance, this effect seems useless, but in fact it is a cruel blow. Any ice ship that is attacked must be careful, otherwise once the acceleration or overload exceeds a certain threshold, the battleship will be damaged due to strength. Dropped significantly and disintegrated on its own!
In other words, the acceleration of an alien warship hit by an armor-breaking bomb cannot be too high, and the speed of transformation must be controlled...the former determines the flight speed, and the latter determines the maneuverability!
Think about it, the speed of a hit alien warship cannot be too high, and its maneuverability is also limited. How can it fight against human warships?
Of course, the power of an armor-breaking bomb is limited and has little impact on the structural strength of the battleship.
After the first hitting missile appeared, more and more missiles hit the target. At this time, another wave of shells hit the target, and the alien fleet had to use thin light to blast the shells.
The purpose of this wave of shells is not to hit many ice ships, but to cover the more than forty missiles that have not exploded!
When the aliens blocked the wave of shells, the missiles also entered the range. The missiles locked on the target one by one. However, they did not rush towards the target like their previous companions. Instead, they measured the lead time in a very short period of time, and then inside the missile Suddenly exploded.
The design of this missile is very interesting. The main body of the missile is equivalent to a mortar barrel. The bottom of the barrel is a sabot with a propeller, and the warhead is equipped with a warhead, which is equivalent to a shell installed in the barrel!
When the missile flies near the target at high speed, the microchip inside the missile will calculate the advance and implement aiming based on the target's speed and direction of movement. Then the chip detonates the preset propellant in the missile and ejects the warhead from the barrel.
The advantage of this is that the speed of the warhead can be increased again from the speed of the missile. It is impossible for aliens to intercept a warhead with such a high speed, unless a blind cat kills a mouse.
Since the warhead mass accounts for three-quarters of the total mass of the missile, while the warhead rushes towards the target at a very high speed, the sabot will fly away in the opposite direction at a speed several times that of the warhead, and its power is no less than that of a large-caliber artillery shell.
Because of the characteristics of this missile's secondary launch, the soldiers call this missile a double-kick firecracker. Few people know its original code name "Hidden Sword".
The combat method of the double-kick firecracker is unheard of even in the human world, and the aliens are completely unprepared. More than 40 missiles exploded one after another, and more than 30 alien warships were hit at the same time!
The double-kick firecracker also uses an armor-breaking warhead, but the charge is ten times that of the swimming fish missile, and it does not gather all the plastic explosives in one place, but suddenly explodes when it is about to hit the target, like the female fish missile, which is divided into seven parts and attached to the surface of the warship in a plum blossom shape.
A few seconds later, the seven parts of explosives detonated at the same time, and the seven parts of shock waves piled up and overlapped left and right, exerting the strongest destructive power of the shock waves!
The alien warship that was hit was like being hit by an invisible giant hammer, and the surface armor was shattered on a large scale, just like being cut by an invisible giant blade. The shock wave quickly penetrated through the supporting structure inside the ship, and its internal structure immediately suffered a fatal blow!
