MTL - Armor Frenzy-Chapter 1861 Space Defense Network
Ye Han's whole body is not good. The situation on the ground has just seen the dawn. What do you think of Wu Han's meaning? The situation in space is very bad?
Wu Han sighed, "Have you understood the situation of the expedition army?"
"I don't know, there has been no news."
"What about the situation in space?"
Ye Han nodded and said, "I know a little."
Don't look at the fact that he was assigned to the special team after he woke up, but his level was there, and there was no shortage of documents that should be conveyed to him, including various situations of the space fleet.
To put it simply, the current joint space fleet is mainly composed of five parts, namely the local fleet to defend the earth, the Mars garrison fleet responsible for Mars, the asteroid belt task force to patrol the asteroid belt, and the Jupiter Guard Fleet responsible for blocking Jupiter. , and there is an expeditionary fleet dedicated to field battles with the enemy.
The first four fleets are all defensive in nature, with average fleet strength. Only the expeditionary force is the real offensive force, which concentrates the most advanced and combat-effective warships of all mankind.
The five fleets are nominally under the command of the Joint Command, but in fact each fleet is divided into two squadrons, Beidu and International.
In order to adapt to the ever-changing situation, Beidu had carried out a large-scale strategic reorganization before Ye Han woke up, dividing the entire army into three battle groups: land, ocean and space.
Among them, the land group is mainly ground and air power; the ocean group includes surface combat ships and surface transport forces; the space group is mainly space warships and marines.
Whether on land, on water, or in space, each swarm is a strategic combat unit capable of launching a campaign-level attack on aliens.
It was at that time that Beidu divided the space fleet into four, with four permanent fleets: Earth, Mars, Asteroids, and Jupiter.
The expeditionary force is not a permanent establishment. It is only temporarily formed by deploying battleships when needed. Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the combination of the other four fleets is not an opponent of the expeditionary fleet.
Because fighting aliens is a matter for all mankind, the strategic adjustment of Beidu will inevitably affect the formation of the combined fleet. For this reason, Beidu conducted a series of in-depth exchanges with Washington in advance.
Washington believed that the adjustment of the Northern Capital was indeed necessary and in line with the future strategy against the enemy, so it also made corresponding adjustments, and finally formed the current five fleets.
The formation of the five fleets is inextricably linked to the strategic development of mankind.
Humanity suffered heavy losses in the counterattack in 2033, but the human fleet, which paid a great price, not only defeated the outer fleet, but also successfully contained the enemy in the direction of Jupiter.
After the war, all countries decided to build a defense belt around Jupiter, that is, to build missile bases on Jupiter's small satellites, with the intention of blocking the enemies in the direction of Jupiter in the inner circle of Jupiter.
Soon after, the asteroid belt defense plan from the same source was put on the agenda.
These two are not simple plans. To use an inappropriate analogy, building these two defense belts with the strength of human beings today is no different from building the Great Wall with all the strength of the whole country in ancient times.
If Saturn is not too far away, the Saturn defense plan must be indispensable!
Although the plan is good, it requires too many resources. From the orbit of the earth to the orbit of Mars, the shortest distance is 55 million kilometers. It is an impossible task to transport materials from the earth to the asteroid belt!
In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, developing Mars became the only option. Soon after the war, the combined fleet gathered a group of transport ships to transport a large number of basic materials to Mars, and humans officially entered Mars.
In addition, larger asteroids such as Ceres and Vesta are also under development. All human beings concentrate their efforts on the mineral materials on Mars, supplemented by the resources on asteroids, and build them in the shortest time. Asteroid belt military system.
For three full years, the combined fleet has built more than 30 long-range missile bases in the asteroid belt, relying on Mars resources, and the firepower network covers the entire asteroid belt.
When seeing this information, Ye Han was very strange. Is it too exaggerated that more than 30 bases can cover the entire asteroid belt?
But he continued to look down, and soon found that it was no miracle to do this, because the main weapons used by those bases were split-guided ultra-long-range solid-fuel missiles with nuclear warheads, codenamed Flash in the North and Thunder in the West.
This missile uses a six-stage structure, the first four stages are used to chase the road, and the last two stages are used to pursue the target.
Its working method is compound guidance. To put it simply, after the long-range radar network in the asteroid belt finds the target, it activates the missile with the nearest position. Through the pre-judgment of the position, the missile has a good advance and flies to the front of the route of the enemy ship.
However, in order to prevent the enemy ship from changing direction, the missile restarted after flying half of the scheduled range, determined the position of the enemy ship through the radar network again, activated the second stage for a second acceleration, and adjusted the flight direction during the acceleration process.
After a period of time, the missile must be restarted to adjust the direction. Only in the final sprint stage, the seeker on the missile will lock the target, and use the separation technology to improve the hit probability.
Interestingly, only half of the sub-warheads carried by this missile carry nuclear bombs, and the other half of the warheads are smoke bombs that act as cover... When the target enemy ship found the missile and launched an interception, the flash missile suddenly split, while Release the smoke screen while attacking the enemy ship, you can imagine how the aliens in the enemy ship feel!
Well, in order to improve the hit rate above, it can be considered a painstaking effort!
Due to the special combat environment, the flash missile can take more than a month from launch to hitting the target~www.novelbuddy.com~ Therefore, this kind of missile cannot use a more efficient liquid fuel engine, but must use a solid which is easy to store fuel engine.
If it wasn't for the ultra-long range of the flash missile, it would never have been possible for humans to use only more than thirty bases to form a defense network covering the entire asteroid belt.
But it is a pity that the alien fleet has been accumulating strength in the past few years, and no enemy ships have broken into the asteroid belt. Still on paper, all simulated data.
The more serious problem is that three years is really too short, and the resources produced by Mars are limited. In order to build a defense network as soon as possible, the Mars fleet prioritizes the construction of missile bases. Affected by the lack of resources, the output of flash missiles has been unable to increase.
As a result, many of the more than 30 bases in the plan were completed, but the missiles in place were only 14% of the designed number, and the defense power was far from the design standard.
With the current production capacity of Mars, it only takes one to two years to complete the remaining missiles, so that the asteroid belt defense network can meet the design standards.
Who would have thought that the Second Foreign Fleet just appeared at this time!
