Chapter 21 Interception
Xu Lanzhou gently pulled his white gloves with his slender and fair fingers, and his appearance naturally revealed the beauty of a warrior with red makeup.No one on the bridge felt the slightest sense of tension, and everyone was doing their work in an orderly manner.

The holographic screen next to the captain's seat displayed a series of updated messages.

"Hostile targets for the fleet were found, number 72."

"The target is determined to be a simple nuclear fission weapon, and the threat level is F5."

"The automatic defense system is deployed."

"Defensive firepower allocation optimization started."

For the Iridium people, the complexity of space warfare is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the Earth's atmosphere.Human calculations and responses alone are far from keeping up with complex combat environments. Almost all space battles from high-level technology to human-like intelligent life require a certain degree of artificial intelligence and automation systems to assist.More time for manual operations is used as the last layer of protection and major decision-making.

Even the military development on Earth has advanced to the level of network-centric warfare. The technical level of the R19 fleet is much more advanced, but its essence is still the way of turning many into one, information sharing, and group instigation.The guidance system of the flagship Sacred Falcon can go beyond the subsystems of each ship for unified weapon use, forming a unified and well-defined firepower network.Whether in attack or defense, the unified combat system maximizes the use of firepower and reconnaissance resources, greatly improving combat efficiency and greatly enhancing combat effectiveness.

Xu Lanzhou glanced at the no less than one hundred defense strategies given by the automatic fingering system, reached out and touched the holographic screen to change them.The defense and counterattack strategy of the guidance system requires the approval of the captain. If the captain does not approve within the time limit, the system will adopt the optimal strategy for defense and counterattack.

A space tactical group consisting of a battlecruiser, a heavy cruiser and two light frigates has considerable firepower and diverse firepower options. The Iridium fleet can directly use laser weapons to irradiate the missiles launched from the silo , detonating it on the ground.This defensive counterattack method can shoot down and detonate these missiles at a distance of less than 2000 meters. It doesn't even need to mobilize the main gun-level laser weapons on the Holy Falcon. It only needs to use light-weight or higher-level laser weapons. Finish.As for the diffraction and deflection that occurs when passing through the atmosphere, the powerful on-board calculation program can complete the ballistic correction within femtoseconds.

However, Xu Lanzhou did not use such a method.With the equivalent of nuclear bombs launched by the Americans, detonating these nuclear weapons directly in the atmosphere can basically destroy the entire north-central region of the United States, causing tens of millions of direct casualties.The subsequent nuclear dust cloud and radiation will have adverse effects on the wider region and even the whole world, and hundreds of millions of people may die as a result.

Xu Lanzhou wholeheartedly wants to expand the earth into a colony of the empire in the new universe, but even the ruthless imperial soldiers with butcher knives will not cause excessive killing at will.In the previous wars of the empire, tens of millions of civilians rarely died. This is not only inhumane, but also inconsistent with the interests of the empire.A complete colony, sufficient population, and rich cultural achievements can all have a positive impact on the development and progress of the empire.

Therefore, Xu Lanzhou chose an interception method that is relatively less harmful to the earth, but this does not mean that the R19 fleet has to bear any risks. F5-level threats cannot even break the protective cover of the lightest frigate.

72 enhanced Minuteman III missiles broke through the atmosphere and rushed towards the location of the R19 fleet at extremely high speed.This extremely high speed is only for the people on earth.For the Iridium Fleet, the speed of Mach [-] or [-] is simply not enough.The probability cloud principle of space warfare inferred by Ye Qing before is a basic principle of space warfare.Even a large battleship with not excellent maneuverability can calmly change its position in the face of missiles with a speed of Mach [-] or [-], so that nuclear missiles cannot hit them.

But for the R19 fleet, the energy consumed by sailing due to several F5-level nuclear missiles is far greater than the energy consumed by simple interception.Therefore, the Iridium warships such as the Holy Falcon have no intention of moving at all, and even moving the ship's position is not an option in the smart tube system at all.

The two Spear-class light frigates are the main force of the interception mission, but the huge Sacred Falcon and Flying Bear are just soy sauce in the mission.The Spear-class light frigate itself is the positioning of the fleet air defense ship. In the space battle between Iridium and other interstellar civilizations, the fleets of many civilizations will have ships carrying a large number of interstellar fighters.This kind of aircraft-carrying interstellar warship is generally called an aircraft-carrying cruiser, and only when the scale reaches a certain level will it be called an aircraft carrier (space carrier).Although the starfighter's firepower is much weaker than that of the battleship's main gun level, it is very flexible and can carry out relatively long-distance long-distance raids.According to the principle of probability cloud, when an aircraft-carrying cruiser carries a certain amount of interstellar flight troops, it can cover a wider range of probability cloud.With limited anti-aircraft firepower and efficiency, starfighters carrying lightweight directed energy weapons, or even more terrifying high-damage anti-ship missiles, can continuously consume a battleship's shields and eventually sink her.Moreover, starfighters also have advantages that bombardment warships do not have in fields such as planetary bombing, destructive warfare, raid warfare, and reconnaissance warfare, allowing the fleet to strike the enemy at a safer distance.Therefore, whether it is the Iridium United Empire or other interstellar civilizations, few people will ignore the construction of aircraft-carrying cruisers and aircraft carriers.Of course, the weaknesses of these two types of ships are also very prominent. Once the bombarded warship breaks into the range, it will be easily sunk by the opponent. Facing some capital ship-level or even heavy cruiser-level warships, it is difficult for weak fighters to defeat the opponent. The protective cover, and the enemy fleet with strong anti-aircraft firepower, it will not take long to destroy all the fighter groups.

The Spear-class anti-aircraft light frigate is a dedicated anti-aircraft warship built by Iridium. Although it is small in size and does not have any particularly powerful main guns, each Spear-class is equipped with 36 light-weight or above laser cannons, 68 small and medium-caliber Gauss railguns There are 8 space missile launching devices, which can launch 64 standard-volume missiles at the same time. The main guns are four double-mounted large-caliber Gauss railguns.The number of weapons on a Spear-class is even comparable to that of a capital ship, but of course there is no comparison in terms of power.The large number of weapons is naturally used for air defense in a wider area.The defense of the fighter itself is negligible, whether it is a light laser or a small-caliber Gauss railgun, it can be easily destroyed.

When the Minuteman III missile launched by the United States broke through the atmosphere and rose to an altitude of about 10 kilometers above the earth's surface, the two Spear-class air defense corvettes simultaneously fired laser cannons to irradiate the nuclear missile.At a distance of about [-] kilometers, the system automatically calculates the amount of advance, coupled with the speed of light of the directed energy weapon, and in the blink of an eye, all the Minuteman III missiles are detonated!
A huge explosion happened silently, and extremely dazzling light filled the entire space at this moment, like a small sun, radiating a large amount of light and heat outward.Sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, and the most terrifying explosion in human history was produced in a state of absolute silence.

The R19 fleet 72 kilometers away is also silent, such an explosion is nothing to them at all. The explosion of [-] nuclear bombs with considerable equivalents could not even cover a distance of [-] kilometers, and wiped off a hair on the Iridium warships.On the contrary, the radiated light is a little dazzling, and when the extremely intelligent battleship fires laser weapons, it has already raised a strong light filter, and all the light that may cause damage to the officers and soldiers of the Iridium Fleet cannot pass through this filter.And this was the only response they made, the extremely powerful battleship shields were not even activated at all.Even most of the thousands of imperial immigrants living in Ruyi City didn't know what happened.They were in a man-made ecological circle, looking up at the clear blue sky with white clouds floating, and the high-transmittance optical hull of the Ruyi City also filtered out the strong light.

As for radiation, although the movement distance in a vacuum is longer, the Iridium star battleship has to face a super complex cosmic environment. The hull is automatically shielded from various harmful radiations. In addition, the protective cover also has a similar effect, so still, no influences.

Dean Mo of the Fleet Scientific Research Institute even smacked his lips and said with insatiable meaning: "This distance is so long, in fact, you can try the S05 particle jet cannon equipped on the Holy Falcon to directly stop the fission chain reaction of those nuclear weapons. "

However, Dean Mo’s words made her proud disciple Lin Yin sneer, and Lin Yin said: “The S05 Jet Cannon does have the ability to precisely control particles to cause damage or other effects, but the key is precision. As long as you know those nuclear weapons The specific structure of the jet cannon can prevent the chain reaction in many ways, through a series of means such as neutron absorption or ionization destruction, or by increasing the critical mass, or preventing the nucleus from crossing the fission barrier. Although we have obtained information about this US Nuclear weapons data, but some things can’t be completely determined, a little bit of imprecise may make the chain reaction suppression fail. The purpose of the design of the S05 jet cannon is not to do things for scientific researchers to do in the laboratory, but to pass Accurately and diversely adjust various particles and the energy they carry, more efficiently and effectively attack opponents of different levels and defense forms."

Being ridiculed by Lin Yin, Dean Mo is not angry at all. His proud disciple has a very good talent in applied science, which makes him very satisfied.Several other scientific researchers also joined the discussion, expressing their opinions and explaining what they think is the best interception plan.

The Iridium Fleet just lifted a finger, and the US nuclear missiles were instantly destroyed.But a group of Iridium people are discussing with great interest how to intercept nuclear missiles more efficiently, or more elegantly.

This is the so-called gap in strength.
