It is not a problem for Elena and Wang Qi to know that smoke can be used to draw pictures in the air, but the second generation of disaster and the locals in the exile do not know that, so they have to study it from scratch.
After the 12th Regiment's temporary deployment at the headquarters next to Erte, it was found that it was possible, but not completely feasible.
It can be because the form makes perfect sense. It is indeed possible to leave linear or circular shapes in the sky without ejecting the chimney.
The reason why it doesn’t work is that the purpose of existing smoke-generating agents is to cover the top of the chimney with smoke as quickly as possible, and to raise it to a certain height to avoid terrain obstruction. This route conflicts with the requirement of maintaining the shape of smoke in the air.
However, new product development takes time, and now we can only make do with it.
The general shape of the existing chimney can be maintained for about 20 seconds during the day. If the time is longer, it will spread to the point where the color is not obvious enough.
Therefore, aerial drawing must be controlled within fifteen seconds, leaving enough time for people on the ground to memorize the graphics.
It's easier said than done.
Aerial drawing is not handwritten text. In just fifteen seconds, a single aircraft can only draw a line or a circle. Too simple graphics cannot convey enough information to those without basic knowledge. This requires that aerial drawing must be implemented in the form of a fleet. .
Taking the three-plane aircraft as an example, firstly, the three-type rear seat observer is required to record the dangerous areas and safe passages on the ground, and the graphics are customized by the observer or the main driver of each aircraft.
Then it provides its own heading information to other aircraft through light signals. After completion, the light information is used to agree on the smoke start time.
There are not many entries, but there are many questions in it.
Aircraft No. 1 needs to walk in a straight line to indicate the direction of ground action, while Aircraft No. 2 needs to draw a danger zone in red, and Aircraft No. 3 may need to draw a creek in blue as an identification point. So how do three aircraft in the air coordinate? Arrive at the initial point of the graph at the same time?
Paint separately? Don’t need time alignment? All may lead to information transmission errors.
The airdrop area map does not have these troubles, but it does have timeliness issues.
The map pre-loaded in the drop tube cannot fill in the details of on-site observation; and the observer temporarily hand-draws it and throws it at low altitude, which may put the aircraft at risk of being attacked, and the precision is not as high as that of the smoke map drawn in the air. How much higher.
The 12th Regiment struggled for half a month, but the regimental staff believed that the threshold was still too high. It was difficult for ordinary aircrews to train to such a tacit understanding and could not be used on the front line.
Still simpler.
A banner with writing on it was tied directly under the tail fin. Returning to the Type 2 operation method, the observer directly opened the cabin and pulled the rope to untie the banner.
In this way, only a few banners are needed, and enough information can be conveyed according to the flight direction, such as "go here", "there is danger", and "the demons are approaching".
This method does not require research at all by the regiment headquarters. This is what the pilots stationed at the front do.
But is it possible that as the types of military operations increase in the future, a new method of information transmission is really needed to deal with some extreme theater conditions?
The existing battlefield information transmission gives priority to wired telephones, but during the cross-floating island operation, the telephone obviously has no way to contact the headquarters.
The subsequent human transmission is reliable, but it has the double shortcomings of personnel safety risks and long delays in information transmission.
Then there are the two communication methods of the Air Force, lights and magic communicators. The actual effect of both is the same as that of radio towers. They can only use "drip-drip" intermittent sound and light to send information codes.
In fact, it is enough to cope with many scenarios. Simple smoke and forbidden magic cannot completely block the transmission of military messages.
But for scenes that require interaction with civilians, there is still a better method than banners.
Smoke pulls are similar to banners. They can only be used when the visibility is high enough. Moreover, the organization of smoke pulls is too difficult and is not suitable for on-the-spot customization of messages.
Complementing visual information is sound.
A high-power loudspeaker equipment carried on an aircraft, or in a lower-power but deliverable form, must have recording and repeat playback capabilities.
This kind of problem cannot be solved by the regiment headquarters and the soldiers themselves. They can only issue a report and submit it.
Soon the report was in Wang Qi's hands.
When Wang Qi saw this report, he felt deeply that population increase was not always a good thing.
As the territory expands and the population expands, it is now difficult for him to directly deal with some details. He can't remember the last time it was how long ago. Maybe it was the truck standard of Xincheng Automobile Factory?
However, there are very few truck standards that fall under Wang Qi's direct instructions. He wrote, "Only make heavy-duty diesel vehicles and concentrate on improving diesel engine technology."
It seems that the Wooden Man series of aircraft can also be counted on him, but that thing is not included in the product chain. It is a special mass production demand created by special circumstances.
Like the power amplifier or recorder proposed by the Air Force this time, if Wang Qi didn't check it out temporarily, he would never know that no one had made it.
However, this cannot be blamed for the lack of progress among the people. Heavy industry, motorcycle and automobile factories, chemical industry, steelmaking, and electric power equipment all require a large number of skilled workers. Those who are willing to delve into technology have been harvested. The second generation of the disaster are in the same situation. In that era, working batteries were extremely rare, and probably not many people had played with non-integrated circuit antique radios, so it was normal for them to be unmanufactured.
Think about it carefully, this thing is manufactured in an industrial way, and the industrial chain is too long.
Electronic tubes involve glass shaping and filling special gases inside; simple circuit boards can also be made using wooden boards and manual wiring; magnets have not developed to the level of rare earth magnets, and the technology of using electromagnets to process permanent magnets still exists , making it bigger is sufficient; the power amplifier diaphragm is relatively useless. Paper diaphragms can be used, but they are difficult to cope with the environment of air flight and airdrop. Use thin films... and then come to polymers.
The industry chain on the magic side is relatively short.
Wang Qi had no control over how to do it specifically. He sent the direction back to the garrison and asked them to contact the procurement themselves and approve the money after negotiation.
Just as this reply was sent, documents from the military department and the exploration team were sent one after another, all talking about the same thing. The water temperature below could not withstand it!
At this point in time, there are very few blocks left on the ground. There are a total of twenty blocks within sight of the air force and civil aviation routes. Only the northern block of the northern area, which is the "Demon Refresh Area", is still on the ground. The others have been Take off, and the information obtained from businessmen based on social surveys at further ranges should be similar.
So it can be seen that seawater almost completely covers the world's surface.
I thought it would be stable for a while, but after only a few months, the vapor clouds began to climb higher again.
Less than ten days after the two documents arrived on the table, the height of the clouds increased by 500 meters. There was no doubt that the water below was boiling again.
Next, if the "space overlap" and "time fusion" extracted from the information conveyed by Solaris do not cause changes in geology and landforms, then there will be only two development routes in this world.
One is that the water body continuously evaporates, condenses and falls back, transferring heat to the atmosphere and the floating island. At the same time, it also gradually thickens the hardened layer in direct contact with the water until it reaches equilibrium.
Another way is that equilibrium will not be reached, and even the floating islands in the atmosphere will eventually be heated to more than 100 degrees... Oh, the average altitude is now more than 2,000 meters, and the liquid water will disappear without even reaching 100 degrees.
Anyway, no matter which kind, it cannot be stopped by human power. The emergency measures that should be prepared have been almost completed. Let's wait for the results.
