Chapter 229: The General Attack Is Ahead of Schedule?
"Let's talk first, you're asking me this, I won't be responsible if anything happens." That guy from King Chuang looked at me and said with a very worried look.
"What are you still worried about at this time?" I looked at the US-Russian combined fleet on the other side, and then said: "I am the president, and the decision-making power is mine. Of course, I am responsible for anything that happens. Just take care of it." Just make suggestions.”
"Okay, that's what you said." King Chuang said immediately after he finished speaking: "Actually, our ship is also equipped with a device comparable to a nuclear weapon. You know this, right? It's a lot of words."
As the president, I certainly know more than King Chuang, so he just said it casually and I instantly understood what he meant. However, I did not make a judgment immediately, but began to lower my head in thought.
Of course I know what King Chuang is talking about, because it is the solar furnace that allows a behemoth like the Eternal to fly in the sky.
The solar furnace is a super powerful energy conversion device. It generates an ultra-high-pressure energy ball by inputting pure magic energy. Then when the energy is concentrated to a certain extent, it will begin to produce a very special phenomenon - material disintegration. In this state, all matter will be converted into energy after entering this range. In other words, theoretically, as long as it is filled with mass matter, even air or seawater can continuously generate energy. In other words, in theory, the solar furnace is a very cheap energy device, because it can convert energy into air, seawater, soil, stone, and any material you can think of, so even if it is used as a garbage disposal station, it can generate a lot of energy. Based on the above reasons, to continue to extract energy, something is needed to restrain this energy field to ensure that it does not continue to expand, and on the one hand to make it safe. can be exploited. On the other hand, it also ensures that the reaction can continue. Of course, blocking radiant energy is also an important goal.
However, achieving the above is not a simple matter, because this disintegration reaction consumes all matter and converts it into energy, so no material materials can be used to restrain it. Energy fields can only be restrained using energy fields. To restrain this powerful energy field requires terrifying energy binding force. Therefore, the solar furnace uses an opportunistic method of extracting energy from the disintegration reaction. In turn, this part of the energy is used to constrain the reaction process, and the energy escaped during the circulation process will be recovered by the peripheral device and counted as the real energy output. Of course, what we want to discuss here is not the cost of the solar furnace, but the side effect of its working principle-the disintegration reaction is out of control.
To drive a behemoth like the Eternity to fly in the sky, only one-third of the output power of a solar furnace is enough to meet the needs. Even if the solar furnace outputs full power for more than thirty hours, it can use up one hundred grams of sea water. From this you can see how terrible the conversion rate of disintegration reaction is to matter and energy. Therefore, once the reaction goes out of control, its power will be equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon, and a large area can be turned into a no-man's land in an instant.
It's not easy to control something, but it's much easier to get it out of control. There is a small device in the solar furnace called an energy pressure sensor. This small thing is one of the key equipment for the solar furnace to work properly, and this device can actually be extracted from the solar furnace. Although it is installed inside the device, there is a long connecting rod behind it that extends to the outside of the solar furnace. Just turn the connecting rod to slowly pull it out from the inside of the solar furnace. Once this device is detached, the solar furnace will lose its ability to self-regulate and cannot accurately synchronize the energy intensity of the protective cover and the energy disintegration reaction inside. At this time, if the energy-consuming equipment connected to the solar furnace suddenly stops consuming energy, the solar furnace will stop the reaction because the output power of the suppression device is too large, causing the disintegration reaction to be suppressed excessively. In other words, the solar furnace will stall. However, if the energy consumption of external equipment suddenly increases, the protective shield will be unable to suppress the internal disintegration reaction because the proportion of energy extracted is too large, and then the disintegration reaction will first melt the external solar furnace drive. and control device, then the chain reaction begins, and all surrounding substances will be sucked into the reaction area and then participate in the reaction. In just a few tenths of a second, the disintegration reaction will spread and expand to a range as large as an aircraft carrier, and then due to energy escape Loss of control leads to reaction cessation. However, all materials in an area as large as an aircraft carrier have undergone a disintegration reaction. Referring to the energy output capability of the disintegration reaction mentioned earlier, you can roughly understand the consequences of disintegration of materials in such a large range.
Of course, this power also depends on the surrounding environment when it disintegrates. If it goes out of control in a cosmic environment, it may not be as harmful as an ordinary bomb. After all, the universe is almost a complete vacuum except for a small amount of dust. Without matter, there is no reaction, and the power of nature is small. On the contrary, the power of the explosion in the air will be considerable, and if it explodes on the ground. That is to say, if the ground or sea water is included in the range, the power will be incredible. After all, seawater or soil and rocks are much denser than air. If the range is equal, the proportion of reaction participants will be much higher, and the power of the natural explosion will also increase a lot. Of course, the worst case scenario is that the explosion range is filled with materials that are denser than seawater or the ground, such as steel. The power is absolutely mind-boggling.
King Chuang's intention is actually very obvious, that is, let me get a solar furnace, and then send it to the middle of the US-Russian combined fleet, and then make it go out of control. After that, even if I can't kill the entire US-Russian combined fleet in one fell swoop, I can at least be in front of them. A big hole opened inside the fleet. If the number of remaining battleships can be one-tenth of the current number, they will be lucky.
This solution sounds great. Because our large flying battleship is equipped with three solar furnaces, and other small battleships have at least one or two solar furnaces, it seems that many solar furnaces can be taken out without affecting the navigation of the battleship. However, the real situation is. I'm not willing to use the solar furnace as a bomb at all.
Don't think that because our guild has so many flying battleships, we think that the solar furnace is a cheap thing that can be mass-produced. Quite the opposite is true. A solar furnace is a super expensive device. Not only is the construction cost staggering, but it is also extremely difficult. We in the Frost Rose Alliance are already extremely rich, and we have almost emptied our wealth for these battleships. We have previously eliminated and resold large quantities of second-hand battleships and obsolete mobile Angels. A large part of the reason is that the production of solar furnaces has stretched our guild's funds, so we have to find some additional income to compensate for the consumption. As for why solar furnaces are so expensive, we still need two or three solar furnaces on one ship. In fact, only these large capital ships have multiple solar furnace configurations. For example, the destroyer that was almost knocked down before had only one solar furnace.
It is precisely because the solar furnace is so expensive that we were so worried when our destroyer was beaten to that level just now. If it were an ordinary sea ship, let alone a destroyer, we wouldn't care even if ten or eight cruisers were sunk, but flying battleships wouldn't work. These guys are too valuable, and we would be heartbroken if one of them fell.
"No, this plan won't work." After confirming King Chuang's suggestion, I still rejected it because it was really not cost-effective. Even if our fleet is sunk, it won't be a big problem. The surface warships below were originally meant to be phased out, and the cost of the warship itself was disproportionate to that of the solar furnace. Our battleships have been specially reinforced for the solar furnace, so it is not a big problem if the battleship sinks. As long as it is salvaged afterwards, the solar furnace can be recycled and used again. The only thing that gives people a toothache is that once the solar furnace goes out, it requires a huge energy impact to start up again. Therefore, as long as the solar furnace is built, it usually costs almost no money, but once it goes out, it needs to be restarted. Then each startup is enough to use tens of thousands of crystal coins. Of course, this is the startup method in an emergency. If we have enough time, we can use the solar furnaces on several battleships to ignite the solar furnace of a certain battleship together, so that there is no need to spend additional magic crystals to convert energy to ignite. . Of course, starting solar furnaces in series is not as simple as using someone else's car battery to start your car. This requires a special connection device and a series of complicated preparations. In short, it takes a long time to get it done, and it is not a casual process. It can be used immediately.
However, as long as the solar furnace can be recovered, setting up a fire is not a big deal. Therefore, even if a battleship equipped with a solar furnace is sunk, it is not a big loss. But if we let ourselves explode a sun Furnace, that's different. I guess Rose will definitely give us all a lecture.
For the sake of our ears, I finally decided to give up this decision.
Chuang Wang probably also knew that his idea was unreliable, so he said from the side: "Let me just say it, this method is unreliable."
I looked at the US-Russian combined fleet, then picked up the communicator and asked: "God of War, if our main fleet fights the enemy now, what will be the loss ratio?"
"Calculating." After waiting for about seven or eight seconds, the God of War began to answer: "If we conduct a full-scale decisive battle now, we will win the final victory, but the loss of our fleet will exceed 50%."
"Half?".
"Yes, this data is quite accurate. The error will not exceed half a percent." Military God affirmed.
I thought for a moment and asked, "Have you considered the data on the secret weapons of the Holy Spear League?"
"This has been included in the calculation. However, the weapons of the Gunslingers League are only suitable for horizontal shooting, and the users are players, not fixed launching devices. This is an advantage in itself, but it is also a flaw. We have at least three There are more than ten ways to prevent the opponent's weapon system from fully functioning. Moreover, through previous data collection, I can confirm that although this kind of weapon has obvious advantages in air attacks, it will not actually work in naval battles. It has too great a decisive effect. Of course, the above data are calculated based on the data that has been mastered. If there are other ways to use this special weapon of the Holy Spear League, then the data will be very calculated."
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. No matter how awesome the military god is, he is also very computer-savvy. His speculations are all based on the results of analysis and calculation based on the information he has already mastered. If you ask him to guess, it will be completely embarrassing. Computers are not good at this, otherwise they can invent and create instead of humans.
While I was hesitating whether to start the decisive battle early, the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger were also discussing how to proceed with the subsequent battle. Our air force has temporarily lost the ability to crush them because of the Holy Spear Alliance's secret weapon. However, if a full-scale decisive battle begins, in order to buy time for the surface ships, our air force will definitely come back. This is the case with the Frozen Banshee. He and the Gunslinger are very clear, so they need to think carefully about what to do in the decisive battle. Of course, they don't have battlefield command and management computers like the God of War, and they don't have the advantage of reconnaissance like us, so they can't know in advance that they can't defeat us at all. However, I estimate that even if they knew in advance, the fighting would continue, because the Americans and Russians are actually pretty much the same now. They are basically fighting to the bitter end, and they have no choice at all.
"If there are only two of the main fleets of the Frost Rose Alliance now, can your weapons be powerful enough to suppress their artillery fire?" The Frozen Banshee looked at the Gunslinger and asked.
The Gunslinger smiled and said: "Do you think what we just said is all the capabilities of our secret weapon? What I want to tell you is that this is only part of it. In fact, there are other ways to use this kind of thing. It was just for air defense. It’s just a mode. Once the Frost Rose Alliance’s fleet approaches, I will let you see what the sea mode is.”
The Blazing Dragon Lady also smiled when she saw the gun god's confident expression. "I hope it's as you said."
