In modern warfare, ships ranging from destroyers and frigates to cruisers and aircraft carriers will not choose to carry short-range ballistic missiles, but anti-ship missiles.
The reason for choosing anti-ship missiles is simple.
The battleship disappeared!
What is the emblem of a battleship? Big ships, big guns and heavy armor!
Judging from the power of the mainstream anti-ship missiles currently in service, more than 90% of the models can only be said to be inferior to the battleships of the ancient World War II era.
If the battleships were still there, perhaps Maozi's idea of equipping the Kirov-class with ballistic missiles could still be carried forward, but if it disappeared, it would naturally become empty talk.
So the battleship has such a huge advantage. If it does not disappear, what if it is equipped with missiles?
The reason why this idea does not hold is also very simple.
In modern times, due to the large number of precision components and complex technology of weapons, the cost per unit volume is far from what it was during World War II.
In the same way, warships with larger displacement are more expensive to build.
Based on the size of a battleship and an aircraft carrier, if a modern battleship is built with the same displacement as an aircraft carrier, the larger size will require a more powerful radar and more precision instruments.
The cost of its hull itself is not necessarily cheaper than that of an aircraft carrier. Coupled with its large number and variety of missiles, it is completely enough to compete with the overall cost of an aircraft carrier.
In addition, because ships sail on the sea, affected by the curvature of the earth, the ability of shipborne radar to detect surface ships is actually relatively weak.
Without the cooperation of air and air, we would have to get close enough to attack each other with missiles!
Even a few gangsters would not have the funds and courage to drive such an expensive battleship over and engage in missile attacks at close range.
Therefore, as battleships withdraw from the battlefield and the "skin" of various types of ships becomes thinner and thinner, it is meaningless to choose large-yield missiles. Even heavy-duty anti-ship missiles only weigh 500 kilograms.
Moreover, in modern warfare, ballistic missiles have a better vehicle, the nuclear submarine, which is convenient and stable.
On the other hand, the launch environment for ballistic missiles is very poor.
If a hot start is adopted and the missile is launched directly from the deck, it is likely that the entire ship's electronic equipment will be exposed to the missile's tail flame.
If cold launch is adopted, the missile must be ejected to a very high position before ignition, and the swing of the ship platform will seriously affect the missile's accuracy, ultimately greatly weakening the missile's accuracy.
This leads to the inevitable result of the development of technological weapons.
But if the situation is replaced on the ocean of wasteland, when considering this problem, it is necessary to fully integrate the actual situation.
Short-range ballistic missiles, also known as tactical missiles.
Generally used in ground-to-ground combat, they carry conventional warheads and are mainly used to attack fixed and moving targets outside the range of ground artillery and within the enemy's tactical depth.
The R-3 short-range ballistic missile is 7.1 meters long, 0.82 meters in diameter, has a launch weight of 3050 kilograms, uses solid propellant, has a range of 320 kilometers, and a speed of 960m/s. The missile is equipped with a digital calculator and an autonomous inertial control system, with air at the tail. Power rudder.
Thanks to advanced technology, without considering magic modification, the effective explosion range is 165 meters, and the limit explosion is 310 meters.
Compared with tactical missiles with the same data on the earth, the R-3 is undoubtedly smaller, faster, and more powerful.
Unfortunately...
This data is still far behind what Sumo wants!
"Everyone on the ocean is moving at any time and anywhere. It is very likely that before my missile was launched, the enemy was still within range. After launch, the enemy had already left there before it arrived."
"If the enemy is 250 kilometers away and I choose to take action, the time when the missile will arrive is..."
"Four and a half minutes!"
"Based on the fact that everyone is a wooden ship, regardless of the tailwind or headwind, the opponent will be at least 400 meters away after four and a half minutes, which is seriously beyond the explosion range of the missile."
After some calculations, looking at the range of the R-3 missile and the evaluation of the estimated distance, Sumo substituted the equation into the calculation and gradually came up with an idea.
It seems that the conventional warhead that comes standard with the missile is no longer possible. The explosion range is too small. Even with the bonus of the launch chamber, it is not that big.
It is very likely that as soon as it is sent out, people will hear it and set off a fireworks show.
Therefore, while arranging the explosives and looking at the explosive packs in the base, Sumo's heart sank and he directly decided on another technology tree that the shelter would advance in the remaining ten days...
tnt!
And this kind of TNT is not trinitrotoluene in the conventional sense, but a super explosive that combines psionic water and enhanced nitric acid!
"According to the power of yellow explosives after adding psionic water, under the same weight, if I can replace all the explosives in the missile with higher quality TNT, the power will be even more terrifying."
"Theoretically, the explosion of one kilogram of TNT can produce 4.2 million joules of energy."
"Including the 100%-300% increase of nether energy water, the 50% increase of strengthened nitric acid, and the 5%-30% increase of the module, one kilogram of TNT will reach 18 million joules of energy."
"Taking into account the expansion efficiency of the explosive and the impact force of the collision, this value may be even higher. The equivalent explosion range of the explosive is substituted into the calculation..."
The equivalent calculation is not difficult.
After some calculations, it was discovered that TNT with this characteristic can directly increase the effective killing range from 300 meters to 1.4 kilometers or even higher under the same equivalent weight...
Sumo's heart could no longer calm down and began to beat like a drum.
The explosion range is 1.4 kilometers...Hey guys, what is the concept?
Legend has it that the m388 nuclear artillery shell, whose damage range is greater than its firing range, has a real killing range of only 500 meters.
As for the normally installed missiles, there are only a handful of missiles that can exceed one kilometer without considering nuclear and hydrogen.
But now, all we need to do is add magical psionic energy, and that's it.
The power of the bomb will have a qualitative change effect.
"No, the psionic water must not be sold casually in the future, otherwise it will be taken away by someone with intentions."
"I'm afraid it will cause unimaginable disasters!"
The psionic water that has not been upgraded before will produce such a terrifying effect after being added to conventional weapons. As for the effect of the upgrade now, Sumo couldn't help but shudder.
In the case of equivalent is justice, just join the upgraded tnt at all costs.
Even the Dongfeng 17 launched in front of the Kobold Castle may not be as good as this special version of the super missile.
Shaking his head, throwing away these thoughts that only a warmonger would have, Sumo turned a new page and began to study how to make it.
tnt trinitrotoluene, although this thing is simple, I have learned it in high school chemistry textbooks. Toluene reacts with concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid to form 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene.
But before time travel, there are still many countries in the world that cannot produce TNT.
Sumo didn't know the specific reason, but now that he had decided to trade with the official, Sumo was not worried about the twists and turns. He went directly to the machine tool and took out the bionics used to make nitrocellulose. Robot.
After several uses and entering the ruins, all the machine gun ammunition in the shelter has been exhausted.
There are 1,500 rounds of rifle ammunition left and 400 rounds of pistol ammunition left.
Considering the upcoming deal with the Tundra Sanctuary and after going to sea, there will be no extra time to make ammunition for a long time before reaching the new continent.
In terms of quantity, Sumo directly designated a huge number with a wave of his hand.
Fifty machine guns and 800,000 rounds of ammunition!
Two hundred rifles and 500,000 rounds of ammunition!
One hundred pistols, 30,000 rounds of ammunition!
The total number of rounds is 810,000 rounds, and the total weight is 14.1 tons. For a destroyer with a carrying capacity of thousands of tons, it is just drizzle!
As for the raw materials used to make these ammunition...
Naturally, nitric acid is not enough, and a handful of saltpeter ore is needed.
After cotton is manufactured according to standards, one-third is left over for further manufacturing in the New World.
The most important copper, even if the number of bullets is doubled, with the convenience of market transactions, Sumo can quickly make up for what he needs.
With the plan in place, Sumo quickly made arrangements for the rest of the day.
The teaching bionic robot began to mass-produce nitrocellulose, and finally converted it into ammunition and stored it.
Instruct the collection team in Hope Village to go to the saltpeter camp and mine natural saltpeter mines in large quantities.
Continue to use Connie the Lioness’s panel to learn about the game functions available to aliens and explore their current trends.
Three tasks, just enough to fill up a working day.
After carefully placing the notebook containing the crazy plan into the storage space, Sumo cleared the debris on the workbench and began to teach again.
The current saltpeter in the shelter and some scraps that are not pure enough are piled in the corner.
It's not very effective when used to make nitric acid in batches, but it's completely sufficient when used to demonstrate and teach bionic robots!
The first time, after turning on the AI learning function, Soma did it and learned robotics.
The second time around, the robot slowly followed the steps, while Soma sat beside him and guided him.
By the third and fourth time, even without Soma's help, Cyborg had completely mastered this simple chemical reaction, and in terms of quantity ratio, it was even more precise than Soma.
With the nitric acid, he brought some cotton, and quickly, after doing it three times, the manufacturing process of nitric acid collodion was also completed by the robot.
Of course, just like the bionic robot in the shipyard, it prepares nitric acid from saltpeter ore, then takes the raw materials, makes suitable nitrate guncotton, and sets it aside to dry. In this process, the speed of the robot is still impressive.
But with the previous surprise, Sumo was not impatient. After making sure that the robot was working normally, he strode out of the base and headed towards Iron Stone Mountain.
"It feels good to have someone under my control. Before, I had to do all the saltpeter mining myself!"
After walking out of the underground shelter, the closer he got to Tieshi Mountain, the more Sumo could feel the impact the activities of the villagers of Hope Village had on nature and his own life.
At present, the land within 300 meters on both sides of the stone mountain has been plowed by rotary tillers and planted with garlic seedlings with a short growth cycle.
According to the growth rate and light efficiency of garlic seedlings in the wasteland, it is completely possible to harvest another wave before the arrival of the ocean.
Going forward, the shape of Tieshi Mountain is also being excavated, and it gradually no longer looks like the one created by Somo.
Within the fifteen-meter range that would be submerged by sea water for a long time, there was not much change.
But after this height, the crystallization of human wisdom comes!
On the gentle slope of 18 meters, a small platform is dug in every two meters or so.
The platform is a slightly concave terrain that can fully receive sunlight from the sky.
You only need to wait until the sea comes, take out the seawater and put it into these platforms, and under the heat wave of the sun, you can get the most important materials to sustain human life...
Salt!
The salt from the treasure chest will eventually be eaten up one day, once the number of mutated creatures decreases, or the explosion rate of alien treasure chests decreases.
Salt will replace all other basic materials and become a necessary strategic material for all mankind.
No iron, no copper, less wood, less stone. At most, the development of the shelter will slow down.
But without salt, the kind of torture that slowly develops from hypotension to edema, reduced muscle tone, reduced nerve excitability, cerebral edema, and finally urinary retention and death will definitely make people crazy!
"Not bad, this guy Chen Shen really lived up to my expectations."
"When we go to the New World, we can arrange the base at the seaside first, boil salt and catch aquatic animals at the same time, and develop slowly."
By analogy, Somo couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that salt might become one of the currencies in the future.
With destroyers, occupying a stretch of coastline to build a dock is not a problem at all.
By leveraging the influence of ships and relying on the seaside to take root in the underground shelter, in the future they will have land power, air superiority, and sea power as well.
With such a rich front line, even cunning enemies will find it extremely difficult!
After walking through the salt drying field built with four or five platforms, the altitude has climbed to 25 meters, and there is only about 15 meters left from the top of the mountain.
By now, the terrain has become completely flat, and there are several caves that have been transformed into storage rooms for different purposes.
However, before Sumo could take a closer look, when he walked around a corner, Chen Shen's figure appeared at the end.
"Hey, Brother Su, you're here, and I said I'm going to look for you now!"
"It's so strange. Yesterday, the more than ten management leaders of Zeus Sanctuary were still very strong-willed, shouting about human rights, about how we can't interfere at will because national borders are different, and about how we have no right to deprive them of their freedom across borders!"
"But as soon as I woke up this morning, all of these people, without exception, cried bitterly and brought out many good treasures!"
Although his face was full of doubts, after talking about the good treasure, Chen Shen's eyes suddenly lit up!
