【Chapter 283】Interference Influence
Whether in terms of historical materialism or the process of technological development, human beings themselves are the necessary factor for development. As long as there is demand, human beings will use their existing technological systems to work towards their former fantasies step by step. This process It may take a long time, just like people in ancient times imagined that they wanted to have supernatural powers in "heaven and earth", but now they can indeed achieve this, including war, whether it is because of politics, resources or other unknown reasons Caused by the reason, once the gears of war start to move, efficient weapons that can give oneself an advantage will be quickly developed, and the number and scale of these weapons, as well as the number and system of personnel who use them, can be regarded as a more "Advanced" human wave tactics.
It's just that in the Blood Seal world, the cohesion, unity and institutional advantages of the Interstellar Federation cannot be compared with the former Xia Kingdom or the current Xia Kingdom, because it is through extreme rule and force suppression, coupled with the terror of the Unity Sect. It can only be maintained with the spiritual support of the interstellar federation. This kind of internal contradiction has almost reached the sky. It is difficult to imagine how the interstellar federation can maintain the social structure. It seems that he is an old man with advanced cancer in his body, let alone organizing a large-scale war. It only takes a small rebellion to bring down the huge body.
Countless historical cases show that no matter how cruel the exploitation is, it will only suppress people's self-esteem and fighting spirit for a while, but only a little bit of hope in the darkness can ignite the fire of resistance in countless people's hearts. The darker the place, The more light there is, this mutually reinforcing relationship is reflected in all aspects. Even in the interstellar era, the Interstellar Federation has not departed from the scope of human governance, especially when the AI technology is controlled within an extremely strict restriction framework. Under this situation, it is impossible to maintain long-term rule by relying on force and violent suppression.
But Governor Feng Jitong came from the golden age of the Xia Kingdom to the present. He is aware of the current state of the Interstellar Federation, and at the same time remains extremely vigilant against the Heyi Sect. The oppression brought about by the Interstellar Federation’s reign of terror alone, It is barely enough to deal with small-scale domestic conflicts. If Ganymede is dragged into the quagmire of war, the Interstellar Federation will definitely be the first to collapse. However, the existence of the Unity Church has strangely changed this. , it has made nearly 90% of the people of the Interstellar Federation become its believers through diffuse religious control, and the remaining less than 10% of the people are either carrying out arduous colonization in border galaxies, or they are more or less It has become a vassal of the Unity Church, and the Unity Church is very satisfied with the interstellar federation that gives it the green light. Naturally, it will quickly kill Ganymede, which is oriented towards order and civilization.
Under the ideological control of the Unity Church, Feng Jitong has no doubt that its perverted and extreme teachings will make the soldiers and fleets of the Interstellar Federation charge desperately towards Ganymede. Faced with that situation, Ganymede not only It not only faces the huge pressure of defense saturation, but also bears the huge racial cost of a large number of human compatriots dying. It is true that even after two near-genocide wars, humans still have nearly 20 billion people. This number seems very large. Worrying about human extinction is completely unfounded, but in fact, the population loss caused by interstellar war is not comparable to that of conventional modern war.
Large warships are equipped with anti-ground weapons. If a neutron fission bomb is fired without the protection of a shield, the number of humans affected by the direct strike and shock wave will be counted in the tens of millions. If Ganymede is really A full-scale war breaks out with the Interstellar Federation. The speed at which these populations disappear is absolutely unimaginable. A population of 20 billion does seem huge. After all, Blue Star alone has a population of nearly 8 billion in this world. However, the environment of Blue Star is almost unique. The living environment simulated by Star Colony cannot be compared to Blue Star, and every person born on the colony consumes hundreds of times more resources than on Blue Star. In other words, it is more difficult to grow the population of the Blood Seal World than it is in the current world. Several levels higher.
If there is a large-scale reduction in the human population due to war, the rate of population recovery will lag thousands or even tens of thousands of times behind the death rate. The consequences of this are self-evident, and the consequences of a large number of human deaths will not only be Just as the number decreases, a series of links such as industry, energy, resources, politics, and social order will undergo drastic changes or even disappear. The impact of this industrial structure and living environment is the most fatal.
When the advance assault fleet of the Interstellar Federation was wiped out by the Ganymede fleet using very clever tactics, the Unity Church had already taken similar actions, and just when Feng Jitong was preparing for the worst, in order to prevent humans from The Unity Church was on the verge of extinction due to the madness of the Unity Church, and when all the people of Ganymede were evacuated from the solar system to the border star system, sudden chaos occurred within the Interstellar Federation. This was very rare in the area of control that was extremely strictly controlled by the Unity Church spirit. It's a phenomenon at first sight. After all, even faith and consciousness have been assimilated by the blood seal, so how can we have thoughts of rebellion?
But in fact, this situation did happen, and the Heyi Sect was also attracted by this sudden internal turmoil. Judging from the intelligence that Feng Jitong later collected through various channels, this turmoil caused the Heyi Sect to lose An important "holy object" that exists as a cornerstone. Although the turmoil was quickly suppressed, the focus of the Unity Church has shifted away from the war against Ganymede and is focused on the interior, without the spirit of the Unity Church. With control and blessing, the "Fleet of All Nations" put together by the Interstellar Federation will naturally be unable to gain benefits from the Ganymede fleet. Those greedy and stupid executives of the Interstellar Federation also seem to realize that the tug of war now will cause more problems for themselves. problem, so he ended the war very decisively, and turned a blind eye and recognized Ganymede's status as an independent political and military "state", which can be regarded as "reparations" for this war. Of course, this is not actually It's not considered compensation, but just part of the Interstellar Federation's payment for its own sins.
After all, whether it is the tragic scenes of other human-inhabited planets or the horrific extent of the Unity Church's plunder of the human spirit, especially the forced disintegration of the Xia Kingdom, the Interstellar Federation can be regarded as the culprit, so this so-called "compensation" is in the closed season. It seems that Feng Jitong is far from enough, but he did not take advantage of this opportunity to fight for more benefits. It is not that he is stupid, nor that he has no courage, but that Feng Jitong needs to guard against the Interstellar Federation, especially Heyi After turning his attention back, he launched a new war against Ganymede. What he needs now is not expansion, but maintaining stability and learning from the experience gained in previous wars. The worst result of being cautious is the loss of opportunities. Opportunities are indeed rare. It may take a long time next time, but blind radicalization, let alone the worst result, even the best result is to get what you want or conditions while maintaining your minimum survival conditions.
It doesn't matter if it's the same person as Feng Ji, but if the entire Ganymede people are included, he will have to be extremely cautious. After all, as the governor, every decision he makes will not lead to the return of Ganymede to the Xia Kingdom. Glory, or it will drag all the people of Ganymede to hell, so Ganymede is very strict internally, especially within the military government and the fleet, not to oppress the interests of certain people, but to ensure that the entire Ganymede The "production chain" can operate stably according to the various rules and safety regulations established.
Because of this, even if Zhang Jin is the deputy commander of the fleet and Du Jin is the incoming inspector with important responsibilities, if they violate too many safety regulations, they will be severely punished. Of course, if they are like Du As Jin guessed, it prevented the Heyi Sect from encroaching on key areas. This kind of punishment can be appropriately reduced or even eliminated. Zhang Jin agreed to Du Jin at this time, and he was completely betting on the existence of the "intelligence" Du Jin obtained. In reality, he has already accumulated a lot of achievements in the position of deputy commander. Coupled with his age advantage, it is not impossible to go further. Therefore, Zhang Jin took the His own future was at stake with Du Jin, and Zhang Jin's reason for doing this was very simple, that is, he did not want his home and the place where he lived to become a "ruin" at the feet of the Unity Church.
The price of Du Jin's bet is actually not small. If the bet wins, his voice and status in Ganymede will be further improved. If he loses... then he may He won't be able to get any substantial help on Ganymede for a long time, and if he falls behind, he may lack enough strength and assistance to resist the next attack or even invasion from the Unity Church. , this is very fatal to Du Jin and to the present world. After all, Du Jin's current situation is that the Heyi Sect can lose dozens or even hundreds of times, but Du Jin cannot lose once, otherwise he himself It is very likely to become another bloodthirsty monster or humanoid body.
From this perspective, Du Jin and Zhang Jin are truly partners in the same boat. Both have paid a sufficient price and have almost the same goals. Compared with the previous "public" relationship based on orders, , was obviously much more friendly. Du Jin turned around and looked at the holographic controller on the driver's seat of the hover car. He had received instilled knowledge before, which naturally included knowledge of the equipment status operation and maintenance panel in the Blood Seal World. Identification, and Du Jin roughly understood the damage caused by the previous electronic outpost being suddenly controlled by the enemy and firing on the hover vehicle from the red warning indicator parameters on the front end.
To put it simply, this modified hover vehicle is pretty decent in terms of armor. The particle turret of the electronic outpost targets enemy units such as heavy exoskeleton armor and powered mechas. Not to mention its diffusion range and suppression efficiency, its penetration The permeability is absolutely outstanding. Generally speaking, the most important thing for armor penetration is the speed of the bullet when it hits. Because of inertia, a lighter projectile will be faster than a heavier projectile at a certain short distance, but once the distance is extended, the heavier projectile will retain a greater speed due to its large inertia. To put it simply, this is why the Navy entered the era of giant ship cannons in the late 19th century, because cannonballs with longer barrels and larger calibers can damage the enemy at longer distances. (Of course, there is another gunnery consideration for giant ship cannons. The angle, timing and direction of the strike may cause different results)
The second is the armor part. In addition to the speed and quality of the bullet when it hits, there is another problem is the time when the warhead is in contact with the armor. In layman's terms, it is the "speed" of the warhead penetrating the armor. The shorter this time, the more difficult it is for the armor to disperse and absorb the energy of the armor-piercing warhead through deformation. The so-called "the same energy, the shorter the force time, the greater the force", so , the shape of the warhead is also one of the factors that determine its penetration ability.
(There is a saying in the world that with the development of active defense systems, whether tanks or armored units can not use conventional armor in the future, it is still possible to equip them with a small amount. It is a bit exaggerated to not use them. The interceptor missiles fired and the corresponding intercepted missiles are currently Judging from the known technology, the possibility of not generating fragments at all is very low. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness of active armor is not very high for small and medium-caliber ammunition. In many cases, kinetic energy bullets do not necessarily need to destroy the ammunition itself, as long as it is used Its deviation can also achieve a defensive effect. It is theoretically feasible, and it is also done in practice, especially when the armor-piercing bullets used for tanks are not actually very heavy. Also, the armor of infantry combat is already considered It is very light. After all, the tank has a high-pressure main gun. Considering the chassis load and so on, it is unlikely to be too light. Protection and heavy infantry warfare are almost the bottom line. As for identifying ammunition, it is not completely eliminated now. Method.
But no matter which direction the technology tree climbs in the present and future, the mainstream protection supporting system in the Blood Seal world is still the use of energy shields and outer chemical defense armor. On starships, the actual effect of active defense armor, It is far inferior to the last rapid-fire interceptor turret. As for the ground armed units, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice based on the adapted battlefield units. If it is not a unified installation, then if it is a heavy firepower used as a battlefield cover fortress The platform adopts an active defense system, which is definitely not fun for friendly units around it......)
However, the method used by the particle turret is very simple and crude. First, the extremely high vibration frequency caused by particle acceleration will attach a high-frequency energy field similar to a laser to the surface of the physical warhead, and use it to break through the defense of the energy shield. However, after breaking through the defense of the energy shield, the magnetically accelerated particles will continue to move towards the target in a physical attack that is almost aggregated into substance. The impact and the burst of extremely high heat will quickly melt through any material. Therefore, even if the hover car Du Jin was sitting on adopted a defense system of energy shield and outer armor, it would not last long.
Just when Du Jin roughly guessed the process of the attack, Xiao Ai added in time:
"Master, Xiao Ai can play a big role ヾ(?°?°?)?? At that time, Xiao Ai let the two armed detection drones at the outpost block the direct fire for a second or two, and then modified the turret The shooting and aiming logic program, so the damage was stopped in front of the cockpit."
"I see, thank you so much Xiao Ai! Otherwise I would be in danger this time. It seems I can't move without Xiao Ai!"
"Hehehe, there isn't one either (?>?<)?"
While Du Jin praised Xiao Ai, he actually had already guessed Xiao Ai's role, otherwise he would not believe that the person who controlled the turret to fire at him was just to scare him, and then stopped talking about martial arts, but this It also made Du Jin more certain that there must be some kind of problem within the Second Airborne Corps.
"Xiao Ai, can you help me find out who is operating this turret?"
"Master, Xiao Ai has already locked the target."
"Oh? As expected of Xiao Ai, then......"
Hearing that Xiao Ai had collected the corresponding information for himself so thoughtfully, he asked with some relief, and then Xiao Ai replied:
"It's less than 500m away from the owner's vehicle, right? The target is directly controlled using the short-range tuning module. Xiao Ai has cut off his control, and now the target has stayed in place. Not long after, according to the feedback from the life detection system, the target no longer has the survival elements for normal humans."
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Du Jin suddenly opened his eyes and looked somewhere outside the window. This sudden move made everyone around him startled, and he asked warily:
"Dr. Du, did you discover something, or an enemy lurking in the dark?"
Du Jin came back to his senses and thought of Xiao Ai's next words. He immediately shook his head and said:
"Ahem......Well, it's nothing. I'm thinking about whether we will encounter this kind of ambush again if we want to reach the residential area as soon as possible and take the conventional road. If it is a war of attrition, I will definitely Our current situation cannot support our destination.”
Zhang Jin lowered his head and thought for a moment. The concerns Du Jin said were in his heart. This sudden attack almost caused them to collapse. Even according to the best plans, this was the strongest wave of enemies they had ever encountered. , the rest are all little Lou Lou, but no matter how weak Lou Lou, Du Jin and his party can't withstand many waves, and Zhang Jin also has to consider a very real problem, that is, the suspended car they are riding in How long can the car drive stably? After all, the previous turret almost cut off the entire front half of the hover vehicle. Although relying on the ultra-high quality inherited from Xia Guo Military Industry, normal starting and driving are not a problem for the time being, but the damaged protection system can no longer provide complete protection. If it works, they will face a lot of pressure from being protected at any time.
Seeing Zhang Jin's thoughtful look, Du Jincai continued to talk to Xiao Aitong:
"Xiao Ai, you scared me just now. I thought... Wait, Xiao Ai, how did you get the location and current state of the other party?"
Du Jin suddenly realized that due to the interference from the outpost communication base station, not only Zhang Jin and others were unable to contact the military government, but the chaotic interference flow also hindered the normal operation of many detection devices on the floating vehicle. It is impossible to detect local targets that may exist nearby. It is like a radar emitting electromagnetic waves, which are reflected after encountering an object. The reflected waves return to the radar. The radar detects and discriminates the target by receiving and processing the echo, and extracts the target's position and speed. or other information. So can the power of this echo be infinitely small, that is to say, can radar detect infinitely small signals? If there is no noise, it is possible, but noise is everywhere, so the echo signal must reach a certain power level. , the radar can handle it.
In other words, the radar detection process is: emitting battery waves of a specific wavelength - target - reflection - receiving battery waves of a specific wavelength - calculating the target position. The working principle of the electronic jammer is roughly to always emit electromagnetic waves in the radar working band, allowing The target information is submerged in the interference signal, making it impossible for the radar to identify the signal as its own. Moreover, the power is only related to the detection/interference range and has nothing to do with the anti-interference ability. The anti-interference is only related to the frequency hopping speed and working band width of the radar.
Of course, conventional radar has long been eliminated in the Blood Seal world, and a phase position detection technology has been adopted instead. However, no matter how advanced the technology is, there will always be corresponding countermeasures. This is just like the relationship between a spear and a shield. It’s just that the countermeasures and methods are different. Not to mention, one of the reasons why the outpost’s communication base station has this kind of regional interference mode is to prevent one’s own armed units from rebelling, so it targets the Ganymede military’s communications. Counter-interference means developed by means, but let’s put aside whether this set of equipment can prevent internal rebellion. Now, first of all, Zhang Jin and Du Jin have been cheated. Zhang Jin has already vowed to return to the fleet to research This set of "internal" interference systems gives people a set of gentle "corrections" and suggestions that they will never forget...
Because of this, Zhang Jin and other talents huddled in the hover car and did not dare to go out at will, because they did not even know where the enemy was. There was no difference between going out rashly and dying. However, Xiao Ai got the information of the enemy operator. The specific location or even life status at this time means that Xiao Ai can ignore the influence of interference to a certain extent. If this is confirmed, Du Jin's situation will not be so passive at the moment, and at least equal information exchange can be achieved. , instead of blindly escaping, avoiding, and guessing the enemy's location.
"Master, the "body" you provided to Xiao Ai before is very different from the signal transmission method of nearby interference sources, so Xiao Ai is not greatly affected by the interference frequency waves, and master, don't underestimate my Ability?(??︶??)?, and interference signals of this level will not affect Xiao Ai’s calculations. Even if it distorts and disassembles external signals, Xiao Ai can still compare and restore them.”
