Great Power Technology

Not far away, on the 005D-3 ship, the final preparations for the electromagnetic gun are in progress.

"The electromagnetic secondary gun is ready, charging has ended, the target has been locked, and is ready to fire at any time!"

"Data link fire control radar tracking good!"

"The barrel temperature is normal, get ready to cool down!"

"The shells are loaded!"

"Ask Captain to launch!"

"Yes! Please give me permission to launch!"

Main gun technician Zhang Shiquan checked the working status of the electromagnetic railgun again. He looked nervous and tightened his muscles slightly.

This is not the first time he has tested an electromagnetic gun, or even the first time on this warship. However, this is indeed the first time that he and his comrades have conducted the entire process according to actual combat standards, and they are about to perform the drill. The subjects are also complex and diverse.

In addition to the high-speed moving target ships at close range at sea, there are also several fixed targets with a distance of up to 200 kilometers but a diameter of no more than 10 meters.

Zhang Shiquan actually had no worries about hitting the target ship. What he was really worried about were the targets two hundred kilometers away.

The maximum range of traditional naval guns is only about 120 kilometers. The most commonly used shooting distance in actual exercises is 30 to 50 kilometers. Within this distance, the optical direct sighting system and the shipborne fire control radar can operate cooperatively. According to the water column at the impact point of the projectile, The position of the shot is constantly corrected, and if the first shot misses, the follow-up shot can be quickly corrected, and the accuracy is also strongly guaranteed.

At more than 50 kilometers, the optical direct sight system has completely failed and the target cannot be found visually. This makes the gunner lose one eye and the difficulty greatly increases.

Now, their shooting range is 200 kilometers.

Fire control radar has completely failed because radar waves propagating in a straight line cannot pass through the arc of the earth and detect targets located on the "slope anti-slope" through seawater.

To aim and track targets, one can only rely on airborne early warning aircraft to share fire control radar data - or rely on the data of the 055D's own unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

Although both can provide fire control data, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is limited by factors such as its small size, low flying altitude, and poor accuracy of the airborne data system. The accuracy of the fire control data it can provide is far lower than If a large early warning aircraft in the air wants to rely on such data to effectively attack the target with artillery, it must rely on the gunner's experience and professional judgment.

But this time, because of Rabbit's consistent practice of "considering the worst combat conditions", the data link of the early warning aircraft has been cut off, and all he can rely on is the data provided by the released Wujian-3.

This is a brand new, cross-system combat attempt, which is extremely difficult to operate.

Fortunately, Zhang Shiquan still has confidence in himself in this regard.

He is a man who has shot missiles with naval guns.

The current tension is just an instinctive reaction to challenges. This reaction allows him to maintain the most stable working condition even under high pressure.

After a final review of the data, Zhang Shiquan issued the order to prepare to fire. His order was quickly conveyed to the ship's command system. In the command room at this moment, several senior officers were having final discussions on the drill plan.

"Captain, the artillery is ready. Do you want to start test firing immediately?"

The captain frowned. He looked at the latest investigation report and asked in a serious tone:

"Have the irrelevant personnel who booked the target location been expelled? Why can we still see people moving from the aerial photography?"

"Report, it's the fishermen of Vietnam. We have broadcast the eviction countless times, but they just don't listen."

"What are they doing there? This is not fishing equipment at all. Who would fish with a shovel to block the net?"

".They are reclaiming the sea."

Upon hearing this expected answer, the captain took a deep breath.

In fact, these Vietnamese fishermen have been reclamating and building islands in this sea area for more than a day or two. Ever since they saw the great achievements of China's reclamation, their monkey-like minds seemed to have suddenly enlightened, and they began to learn Reclamation and creation of islands.

Their idea is very simple. If China can do it, why can’t we?

Isn't it just reclamation? Wouldn't it be enough to pull a boatload of stones from the shore, arrange for a few migrant workers to lay the foundation, pull up the barriers, and pour the stones in?

Although this idea is simple, it is indeed not without room for operation.

But the problem is, firstly, they don’t have advanced equipment like the Tianjing, secondly, they don’t have sufficient funds and manpower investment, and thirdly, they don’t have the will to stop until something is done. They spend three days fishing and two days drying the nets all year round. The island with an area of ​​less than 20 square meters has not been filled in for ten years.

This situation is both easy to manage and impossible to ignore.

The reason why they can't ignore it is because this sea area is a routine cruise area. If they actually build iron houses to station themselves, it will be more difficult to evict them in the future, which will not only affect shipping safety, but also risk leaking secrets.

It is difficult to manage because of the sensitivity of the island's location.

Therefore, the most common thing they do is to ask the brother troops to drive a 10,000-ton coast guard ship over to spray water. Under the wash of water columns up to several meters thick, the islands that the monkeys have just built often fall apart.

But it should be said that those monkeys are not good at anything, but the first one is to play tricks.

Once it was washed away, they rested for a few days and then came back again. In the end, they didn't even pursue the solidity of the island, and just pulled a boatload of mud and poured it down.

Anyway, as long as there is mud above the water, it will be disgusting to you.

Today, they are apparently doing the same thing.

"Have you told them that this area has been designated as a military restricted area? Now they dare not even listen to this?"

The captain's tone was a little confusing. In his experience, these monkeys were rogues, but they still cherished their lives. Usually, once they heard that there was going to be an exercise in a certain sea area, they would run away faster than the fish in the sea, for fear that they would not be discerning. The missile fell on his head.

But this time, several hours have passed since the warning time, and they haven't left yet?

The intelligence officer on the side was equally helpless. He glanced at his watch and replied:

"Captain, their location is just a little outside the exercise area. It is no longer appropriate to temporarily expand the exercise area. It will affect the navigation of other ships."

"We had sent a coast guard ship to clear the area four hours ago, but we don't know if they gave a death order or something else. They just didn't leave, and the water flushed them twice. It didn't take long. It’s back again.”

"It's not good for our ship to stay there for too long. It has already been withdrawn. Captain, do you think we should give up that target first and change it to another one?"

"Their position in our target is less than 2 kilometers away. If they really miss, it will be difficult to deal with later."

The captain was silent for a moment, then continued to ask:

"Did you talk to those fishermen? What did they say?"

"We talked and they said they believed in our technology - it's just meat on a hob anyway. They didn't listen to any advice. They should have known we should have painted the area a little bigger."

Hearing this, the captain shook his head.

"It's not a big deal. Even if we draw a 400-kilometer radius for the exercise, they will still find ways to disgust us. This is a scam."

"They were sure that we didn't dare to hit their heads with the cannon, so they played this trick."

"Threaten the lives of civilians, so let's forget it. Give the order and start the exercise."

"200 kilometers, an error of 2 kilometers. If we can't control this error rate, then I don't think our ship has any need to go to the battlefield."

"Tell Zhang Shiquan to aim and hit him!"

"Besides, Wuji keeps an eye on what's going on on that island. I really want to see if those monkeys are afraid of death."

"As soon as you find out that they have withdrawn, notify me immediately."

"Damn it, aren't you playing rogue with us? I can do it too!"
