One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Seven Fighting in the Air

Everything is ready, and then we can ignite and launch.

Conventional launch methods can only guarantee accuracy within the range, but this time the ultra-long range has extremely high requirements for accuracy. The time and direction of free flight determine the final hit rate of the missile.

In order to improve accuracy, Ye Han had to abandon the previous conventional launch method and use a manipulator to send the missile outside the ship. It first flew with the warship for a short distance. After the general direction was correct, it was ignited to accelerate the missile.

The acceleration phase of the missile only lasted a few minutes. When the acceleration phase ended, the missile had already flown far in front of the Leishan.

This was only the first stage of the launch. Next, the Leishan would check the direction of the missile every once in a while. As long as the slightest deviation was found, the fire control system would immediately fine-tune the direction of the missile to ensure that the missile remained in the correct flight direction.

In this way, this missile, which was the hope of the entire ship, flew towards the alien fleet... Of course, it was only the first one.

With the experience of modifying the first missile, the subsequent modifications went very smoothly. Seven hours later, two more missiles passed the test and were launched by the Leishan one after another.

In this way, in four days, the Leishan launched a total of eleven long-range missiles at the enemy ship.

The modification of long-range missiles is still ongoing, but there are only so many long-range missiles on the ship, and it is not known whether the ones that have been launched can hit the target. For the sake of caution, Ye Han did not waste missiles, but saved all the modified missiles.

Not only Ye Han is looking forward to the performance of this batch of missiles, but also Gao Kai, who is close to Nanzhou, and a group of senior executives far away in Beiyuezhou, are all looking forward to it as he is.

Time passed day by day in waiting and anxiety. The Leishan had to observe missiles and enemies every day. Seeing that it would hit the target in two days, Ye Han suddenly found that the enemy ship released a batch of alien fighters, and they were old alien fighters.

Ye Han, who received the news, rushed to the bridge immediately. After seeing the alien fighters on the screen, he immediately asked: "What direction are the enemy planes?"

"It's our direction. It should be coming towards us." He Lu said.

Ye Han immediately became alert: "They want to intercept the missiles by launching planes at this time?"

The Leishan is still far away, and the range of the alien fighter is very limited. The possibility of targeting the Leishan is very small, so the enemy's target can only be the missiles.

Luo Qi was stunned: "Impossible? How can we intercept it at such a fast speed?"

At present, the relative speed between the Leishan and the alien fleet is about 70 kilometers per second, and the speed of the missile is even faster. The relative speed with the enemy ship is more than 100 kilometers per second. The two sides will cross each other in just a moment, and it will only take a few seconds to fly out of the range of the light.

Don't mention the pitiful firepower of the alien fighter, even if it is replaced by a powerful alien warship, it is not so easy to intercept the missile in such a short time.

Ye Han couldn't figure it out either, and said hesitantly: "It should be impossible to stop... No, they don't want to use fighter planes to block missiles, right?"

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard it, and Luo Qi nodded: "Maybe, it's very likely that the aliens don't need these planes. He Lu, is there any way to avoid it?"

He Lu shook his head with a gloomy face, but nodded again immediately.

Luo Qi was not feeling well: "You are nodding and shaking your head, what do you mean?"

"It should be possible, but I have to think about it carefully." He Lu said.

Luo Qi urged: "What do you think, tell me, don't think about it yourself."

He Lu smiled and said: "Let's activate the missile in advance and control the missile to maneuver a few seconds in advance. As long as we deviate a little bit, we can get past the enemy plane, and then we can correct the direction back and it will be almost done... It's..."

"It's what?"

"It's just that the distance is too far, and the activation and avoidance time is not easy to grasp." He Lu frowned and said.

After a week of continuous flight, the distance between the first missile and the Leishan was half a light minute, and the control signal took one minute to go back and forth.

This is only the current time delay.

The distance between the missile and the warship is still increasing, that is, the time delay is still increasing. In addition, the speed of the enemy aircraft is difficult to determine, and it is currently uncertain when and at what distance the encounter will occur.

And the control signal cannot have any error. Even if there is only a one-second delay, all previous efforts may be wasted.

Ye Han said: "Then calculate and prepare in advance, and the system sends signals regularly to minimize the risk."

"That's the only way." He Lu said.

After deciding on a response plan, the next step is long-term monitoring and calculation. This is a very monotonous and boring job. As long as the speed of the enemy aircraft changes slightly, the encounter time will change greatly. As a result, all data must be recalculated and the signal sending time must be re-determined.

Luo Qi simply didn't understand this aspect of the work, Ye Han understood but was not so proficient, and only He Lu was qualified for this job, so He Lu took on this heavy responsibility and found several bridge officers who were proficient in orbit calculations to form a temporary monitoring team to monitor and calculate 24 hours a day. All data must be calculated independently by three people, and then the calculation results must be compared to ensure that there are no problems with the calculation results to the greatest extent.

In this way, the temporary monitoring team worked non-stop for two days and finally ushered in the critical moment.

Everyone rushed to the bridge in advance, anxiously waiting for the encounter between the missile and the enemy plane.

Thirty-two seconds before the encounter, the Leishan automatically sent out a control signal. Half a minute later, the first missile started its engine and suddenly began to change direction.

The unprepared enemy plane opened fire in a hurry, and the thin light passed by the missile, and the missile passed over the enemy plane in an instant.

The news of the successful air defense was sent back to the Leishan, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Han concluded: "This tactic is very good, He Lu, you and the monitoring team will work hard and hold on for a few more days."

"Yes, don't worry." He Lu agreed immediately and immediately started the next round of calculations.

The second and third missiles will encounter the enemy planes in seven hours, and the monitoring team must calculate all the data before the encounter.

In fact, the data is ready, and the fear is that the enemy planes will change speed during this period.

However, the situation changed more complicated than expected. After only twenty minutes, the monitoring team discovered that the alien fleet sent a second team of alien fighters.

This team of enemy planes must be targeting the first missile that successfully penetrated the defense. The situation ahead is not optimistic. Ye Han's heart, which had just been put down a little, was raised again.

Seven hours later, the second wave of missiles encountered enemy aircraft. The monitoring team made all preparations in advance, and the alien aircraft group also dispersed in advance.

The signal was sent on time, and everyone waited anxiously for the final result. A minute later, a dazzling light suddenly burst out on the main screen.

The recent content is very boring, isn't it? In the past, I didn't think about space battles very well. Recently, I wrote after careful consideration. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the content I wrote before is unreliable. But the more reliable it is, the more boring it is. The kind of passionate and exciting close combat in movies and TV is simply impossible to appear... I don't know what the brothers think. If you have any ideas, welcome to join the ** flow.
