Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Just before the confrontation began, in the waters along Miyajima Nishita, some civilian cargo ships from the red side quietly passed by. They seemed to be cargo ships, or some other types of civilian ships.

But every night, they would open the containers on the deck and dump some strange things into the sea.

These things look a lot like "rays", also known as manta rays.

Those who don’t know better may think that they are engaging in freeing animals.

After all, the folk in Hongfang have this tradition.

The locations where these ships are released are very particular, and they are all at key nodes and longitudes and latitudes.

It lasted for a whole week, and it was unknown how many "rays" were released there by the red side's civilian ships.

These big fish came to life immediately after entering the water.

They don't need to eat or hunt. To be precise, they are an electronic product, an electronic product with military purposes.

The skin is made of bionic rubber, with special metal inside. The body is equipped with circuits, systems and power generation devices, and can continue to move in the sea for a long time.

This thing has a fashionable name - underwater unmanned underwater vehicle.

In terms of performance, this unmanned underwater vehicle has the same body shape as a manta ray, with a wingspan of more than 8 meters. It can glide underwater with the help of sliding seawater, and it can lurk in the deep sea of ​​1000 meters for more than 60 days. , the sailing distance can also reach thousands of kilometers.

The reason why the submarine has such powerful performance has a lot to do with the advanced technology it uses. First of all, it uses a brand-new material, which is not only extremely pressure-resistant, but also has a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to Sail underwater like a manta ray.

Secondly, it uses a special flexible battery system and power supply system, coupled with its unique shape, which allows it to greatly extend the time of underwater diving.

The most important thing is that the advanced version of the submarine can have a wingspan of 8 meters, and the larger size means that the load capacity will also increase. Although this equipment is low-key and claimed not to be developed for military purposes, it is not impossible if it is used for military purposes.

It can be equipped with intelligence collection systems or attack weapons, becoming an important underwater unmanned equipment with integrated surveillance and attack capabilities.

From a practical application point of view, due to its unique appearance, it has excellent concealment compared to ordinary submarines, which also provides convenient conditions for it to perform attack and reconnaissance missions, such as facing enemy aircraft carriers or submarines. , it can launch an attack directly without being discovered. If it can be put into use on a large scale, it can also form an attack formation, using a method similar to the movement of fish schools to confuse the opponent and then launch an attack.

In fact, these are not terrible. What I am afraid of is that it uses a special weapon. This weapon is similar to a torpedo. The warhead has a built-in 70 kilograms of new explosives. The formula of this explosive contains something called CL-20. This is the essence of this warhead.

CL-20, whose scientific name is hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (also referred to as HNIW), is the highest energy and most powerful non-nuclear elemental explosive currently known to be practical, with a detonation speed of up to 9500 meters/second, so Known as the fourth generation of explosives and also known as "breakthrough energetic materials", it is an epoch-making new high-explosive military explosive and is well-known in the Blue Star Fire explosives academic community.

The birth of this type of explosive has also brought new development opportunities for the performance improvement and miniaturization of a number of weapons and equipment, including missiles and HE devices.

Compared with the previous generation of explosives, HMX, the king of explosives, CL-20 has an energy density that is 8% to 10% higher and a burning rate that is twice as high.

In other words, CL-20 is a BUFF. No matter what type of weapon it is superimposed on, it can gain the effect of empowerment.

In fact, this substance was not invented by the red side, and the blue side was no stranger to it.

In 1987, Blue Fang first synthesized CL-20, which was hailed as "a major breakthrough in the history of explosives synthesis."

CL-20, as the highest energy and most powerful non-nuclear elemental explosive currently known to be practical, is an epoch-making new high-explosive military explosive.

Although this stuff is good, its synthesis is unstable. Blue Fang has been unable to conquer this new type of explosive technically.

Because the production of CL-20 uses nanoparticles as catalysts to convert a substance called hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW) into CL-20. This conversion process is very fast and efficient, taking only a few minutes to complete and producing no by-products or waste.

The biggest advantage of this new method is that it can increase the impact stability of CL-20 by five times, thereby reducing production costs and safety risks.

Impact stability refers to the sensitivity of explosives to external impacts or impacts. The lower the better.

If the impact stability is too high, the explosive can easily be accidentally detonated, causing danger and losses.

And if the impact stability is too low, it will be difficult for the explosive to be detonated normally, affecting its effectiveness and reliability.

Therefore, impact stability is an important indicator of the quality and performance of explosives. In recent years, Red Fang scientists have successfully improved the impact stability of CL-20 from the original 2.5 kg·cm to 12.5 kg·cm through nanotechnology, solving this problem in one fell swoop.

The torpedo warhead carried by the unmanned submarine "Stray" is filled with a new type of high explosive mixed with CL-20, so it can blow open the bow side of the DDG-85 with one shot. The hole is so big that there is no chance of pipe damage.

While these "rays" were swimming in the sea, everyone in the red side's Joint Staff couldn't help but cheer.

"Stray" succeeded!

And that was just the first "ray" that DDG-85 encountered unluckily.

On the big screen in front of him, Li Zheng could see thousands of "rays" swimming in the sea along the front of Miyajima Island leading to the Green Fang control area, Huang Fang mainland and other places.

Each little green dot represents a "ray".

Of course, it is impossible to form an airtight interception network, but these thousands of rays are distributed at different route nodes. This is a guessing puzzle for the blue team.

Where to go?

In which direction are there no "rays"?

This can only let Blue side answer the question slowly. Maybe by the time they finish answering, the day lily will be really cold.

West Tai.

At the forefront of the combined fleet, the destroyer DDG-65 was moving forward at a speed of 18 knots.

Now, he is the pioneer of Pathfinder, officially replacing the previous position of DDG-85.

The more than 300 people on board now felt as if they were sitting on a volcanic crater. Even though the boat had air conditioning, their backs were still wet with sweat.

The captain muttered curses.

Most people couldn't hear clearly what he said, but occasionally those who heard clearly understood what he meant.

They are an old ship and their service life is almost over.

After the accident, let them take over the role of pioneers. At best, they believe in their skills, and at worst, they are cannon fodder.

The current DDG-65 does not dare to drive too fast.

Because we have to wait for the anti-submarine aircraft and various early warning aircraft in the air to carefully detect whether the area ahead is safe before we can boldly move forward.

Because of the detailed search, the progress of the entire fleet was slowed down.

This is also something that cannot be done.

After all, no one wants to die.

The tragedy of DDG-85 just happened.

The captain was in the command position on the bridge, with sweat all over his forehead.

The deputy captain picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip and said, "Damn it! When did these red submarines become so scary?!"

His words attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their attention to the deputy captain.

The deputy captain then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

After all, the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet just said that what DDG-85 encountered before was a mine, not a red submarine.

Who believes it at first?

Ghost letter!

Mud, with Blue's detection capabilities, can't you find a mine lying in front of you? !

"Why are you looking at me?! Keep an eye on me!"

The vice-captain yelled at the others.

"Mine?! Who..."

Before he could say the word "letter", he suddenly heard a huge explosion.

Then there was the sound of tearing metal, sharp and harsh.

The people in the driving building were suddenly shaken and all staggered.

The corner of the captain's mouth hit the floor, and one of his teeth was knocked out, and blood suddenly dripped from his mouth.

"what happened?!"

He struggled to get up and found that the ship seemed to be leaning a little.

Glancing ahead, I saw that the front deck was intact.

He hurriedly stumbled out of the pilot building and reached the cabin door. When he looked out, his heart was so frightened that he wanted to jump out of his mouth and throw himself into the sea.

He saw thick smoke billowing from the left side of the hull of DDG-65. He could not see the damage to the hull, but judging from the slight tilt of the hull, it seemed that the blow was not light!

Overhead, anti-submarine aircraft flew in vain.

The channel was buzzing with noise.

But no one found even a red submarine.

About fifty meters away on the seafloor to the right of DDG-65, a "ray" had turned its head and aimed at the Burke II destroyer.

A flash of red light flashed in its tiny eyes, and then, a torpedo was shot from under the fish's body, heading straight for DDG-65.
