Eight Hundred and Nine Come Prepared (2)
The missile fleet chased fiercely, and the two sides were moving in opposite directions. It didn't take long for the missile group to successfully approach the enemy ship and lock the alien warship at various tricky angles, with a determination to never give up until the goal was achieved.
A large number of swimming fish missiles successfully approached the alien fleet. As long as they rushed through the last section of the distance, the missiles could hit the target. The relationship between the two was like a dead loop, either you die or I live.
However, as the distance approached, the density of the fine light became higher and higher, and more and more missiles were hit by the fine light.
Missiles are not artillery shells. Once destroyed by the fine light, they lose their function. Even if the wreckage hits the alien warship, it will not have any effect, unless the fine light happens to destroy the propeller, the warhead is intact and lucky enough to hit the alien warship.
However, there is no air resistance in space. The missile's propeller and fuel tank are much smaller than those of conventional missiles. The warhead accounts for more than three-quarters of the missile's length, and some models even reach four-fifths! The coincidence of destroying the propeller without damaging the warhead rarely happens.
Xiguang destroyed more and more missiles, but if you defend too long, you will lose. Finally, a missile passed through Xiguang's tight defense and hit the side of the alien warship.
The aliens in the warship were almost scared to death, but after waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened. Several aliens looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was not the first time that they had fought head-on with humans. I don't know how many companions died under human stellar weapons. Every alien understood the consequences of being hit by stellar weapons.
The missile that hit the warship was not a stellar weapon, and several aliens in the ship couldn't help but feel fortunate.
At this moment, several aliens suddenly heard a faint muffled sound. They still didn't know what happened, but found that the air pressure in the ship dropped sharply!
How could the aliens know that the warship was hit by an improved version of the fish missile, which used a delayed detonation armor-breaking warhead!
The principle of the armor-breaking bomb is very simple. The warhead is loaded with plastic explosives. After hitting the target, the explosives will stick to the target, and then the delayed fuse will detonate the explosives. The explosion generates a huge pressure of hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, thereby breaking the target's armor inner layer.
This thing was the most popular during World War II. After the emergence of composite armor, this thing has become yesterday's news. It is getting worse day by day. Now it is an outdated type of ammunition that is close to being eliminated. Few countries still equip this type of ammunition.
However, after studying the hull of alien warships, countries have obtained first-hand information on the hull and found that although the strength of this thing is good, it is as brittle and hard as high-carbon steel under certain conditions.
Because of this unexpected characteristic, researchers in Beidu called the hull used in the experiment an ice shell. Later, this name spread for some reason. The military gradually called the alien warship an ice ship, which means an ice-white warship, and also implies that the hull of the alien warship is not strong.
Later, Beidu conducted in-depth research and experiments on the ice shell, racking its brains to find an effective way to destroy the ice shell. It didn't take long for the armor-breaking shell to be picked up.
The armor-breaking shell used on the ice ship is not as simple as it seems. This kind of armor-breaking shell can generate a super-strong shock wave of a specific frequency when it explodes, which can shatter the hull of the ice ship in a very short time, causing a large amount of air loss in the ship.
The possibility of killing aliens by decompression is very small. At most, it will make the aliens panic for a while. Therefore, when the research department recommended the armor-breaking bomb to the military, the military did not understand how to use this thing to deal with alien warships!
But another function of the armor-breaking bomb is definitely the cow standing upside down - the shock wave transmitted through the ice shell can destroy the structural strength of the ice ship!
At first glance, this function seems to be useless, but in fact it is a ruthless hand. Any ice ship hit must be careful and pay attention, otherwise once the acceleration or overload exceeds a certain threshold, the warship will disintegrate due to a sharp drop in strength!
In other words, the acceleration of the alien warship hit by the 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 the alien warship hit cannot be too high, and the maneuverability is also limited. How can it fight against human warships?
Of course, the power of a armor-breaking bomb is limited, and it has little effect on the structural strength of the warship.
After the first missile hit, more and more missiles hit the target. At this time, another wave of shells hit the alien fleet head-on. The alien fleet had to use fine light to blast the shells.
The purpose of this wave of shells was not to hit a certain number of ice ships, but to cover the more than 40 missiles that had not exploded!
When the aliens blocked this wave of shells, the missiles also entered the range, and the missiles locked onto the target one by one. However, they did not rush to the target like their previous companions, but measured the lead in a very short time, and then the inside of 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 shell with a propeller, and the warhead with the warhead is equivalent to the shell in the barrel!
When the missile flies near the target at high speed, the microchip in the missile will calculate the lead, aim according to the target speed and direction of movement, and then the chip will detonate the pre-set propellant in the bomb to shoot the warhead out of the barrel.
The advantage of this is that the warhead speed can be further increased on the speed of the missile. It is impossible for the aliens to intercept such a high-speed warhead unless a blind cat meets a dead 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!
