Chapter 53 Competition

Angeli: "Have you been discovered?"

"Don't be nervous, you will be submerged in the dense clutter. This guy just tightened the radar scanning range, and judged whether we are within the range by whether the passage of time slowed down. This is a method that can only be used in simulated warfare." opportunistic approach."

Turn the radar emission beam into a very narrow cluster, and then tighten the radar scanning area, so that the radar wave will only sweep a small range. If there is no target in the range, the passage of time will not slow down. This is Forest tactics.

Through the operation panel in front of him, Wang Pingan ordered the launch of the computer-controlled reconnaissance drone.

So the eight small drones used compressed air to spray, left the pylon on the combat boat, and scattered into the surrounding space.

These small craft are powered only by compressed air and emit very little heat, making them hard to spot.They are the "investigation guards" inserted by Wang Ping'an.

The small aircraft is connected to Wang Ping'an's battle boat through a thin optical fiber, and it is a real silent guard.

Wang Pingan: "I guess they will stop the radar wave emission now, and wait for the time flow to accelerate again, and then scan us from another direction."

Angeli: "Then we can use the intersection of the two scanning areas to lock our approximate position."

"That's right, so we can take advantage of this. I need the operating authority of the external robotic arm." After speaking, Wang Pingan activated the override control of the commander position, directly obtaining the operating authority of the external robotic arm.

Angeli: "Wait a minute! You can give me orders..."

"That's such a hassle. I could have been driving the battleship by myself."

"Then wouldn't I be a complete liability?"

"Oh, don't worry about it, let's talk about winning first. We spent all our time on the voyage to Mars to understand each other's personality and hobbies. We haven't done this kind of simulated cooperation at all, and we basically don't have a tacit understanding. When we get to Ceres and practice with the pirates It’s been a while, and after I have a tacit understanding, I will definitely not interfere with your operations.”

Angeli: "Is it my fault that we didn't cooperate? According to the regulations, we should practice, but if you don't practice, it's all about compiling the logbook to fool people!"

"Hush! It's coming!" The moment Wang Pingan hissed, the notification sound of receiving radar waves sounded, and the time lapse of the simulation system returned to the normal flow rate.

"This route..." Wang Pingan muttered, operating the mechanical arm to grab the wreckage next to him, adjusted the direction of the spacecraft with the mechanical arm, and then fired a row of missiles with a cold launch.

The missile ejected from the silo by compressed air did not ignite, but flew forward under the action of inertia.

Angeli: "Is this a trap? Did you just guess their route?"

"No. But this trap will work regardless of their flight path."

As soon as the voice fell, the computer beeped again.

This time it was an optical cue, where the computer marked a fragment that was disintegrating.

Wang Pingan: "Electromagnetic cannon. It seems that the opponent's tactic is to use the loopholes in the simulation system to determine our approximate location, and then use the electromagnetic cannon to name the large pieces one by one."

"Then we can use the movement of the hit debris to reverse the launch position."

Angeli operated the console on her side while talking, and soon the estimated trajectory appeared on the surrounding airspace map scanned by the radar just now.

Momentum is conserved, so when the motion state of an object changes due to a collision, the momentum of the object that hits it can be reversed by analyzing the amount of change.

In addition, Angeli and Wang Ping'an knew the quality of the projectiles fired by the electromagnetic gun. After all, they were all the same electromagnetic gun.

But such inversion will not be very accurate.

However, if the wreckage has been hit by the electromagnetic gun to change the momentum, it can further lock the enemy's position——

In just a few minutes, the drone deployed by Wang Pingan observed that seven or eight fragments changed positions.

As a result, the reversed enemy shooting position became more and more accurate, and the calculated position was connected into a fancy trajectory on the airspace map——

Angeli: "We can fight back, as long as we—"

Wang Ping'an suddenly held down Angeli's hand: "No, this is a trap. The projectile speed of the electromagnetic gun can be set, and they can set the speed by random numbers to mislead our reverse thrust. No, it may even be set on purpose A logical set of velocities was established, which induced us to extrapolate the present trajectory of motion."

Angeli asked, "What do you think of the evidence?"

"Knowing about the man in the forest. He won't take such a fancy track."

As if to confirm Wang Ping'an's words, the launched drone suddenly sent back the data captured by the infrared sensor.

"Look, he's caught! This is real."

Without further ado, Wang Pingan ordered the missile that had just been coldly launched to ignite.

These missiles had already drifted away from where Wang Pingan was hiding, and the light from the ignition was only faint on the optical sensor of Wang Pingan's spacecraft.

A row of missile icons immediately appeared on the display screen, marking the remaining flight time of the missiles in the form of blood bars.

Suddenly, a missile disappeared.

"The enemy's laser point defense is firing!" Angeli shouted.

Wang Pingan operated the mechanical arm, pushed the wreckage nearby, and pushed the machine out of the shadow of the wreckage.

"Expand the laser array to the maximum extent." Wang Pingan originally wanted to operate it by himself, but then he started to give the password.

Angorie immediately followed suit, and the mirror arrays on the back of the battleship were fully deployed.

The next moment, all the drones captured a strong infrared signal.

This is the waste heat generated by the laser point defense system. In order to deal with the approaching missiles, the point defense system has obviously been operating at full power under the control of the computer.

Wang Pingan: "Show light!"

Angeli pushed the energy gate of the laser to the top, and the green laser focused on the target through the mirror array——

Battleships also have basic armor, and it takes a long time to destroy them with laser light.

Especially at the current distance of hundreds of kilometers, even if the phase mirror array is used for convergence, the damage ability of the laser is greatly reduced.

But it doesn't take that long to destroy the equipment on the outside of the battleship's armor.

Wang Pingan clicked the direction of the green light, and the computer immediately analyzed that he wanted to see the enemy's state, and immediately adjusted the optical equipment to continuously enlarge the image of the enemy.

Angeli has sharp eyes: "The enemy's laser, the enemy's laser has lost a lot of mirror units!"

The enemy on the image is adjusting his posture, aiming at Wang Pingan with no key equipment.

At the same time, the laser irradiation warning sounded, and the enemy's lasers also shot up.

Angeli: "We have the upper hand, we must be the first to damage the laser on the other side."

Wang Pingan did not answer, started the engine and hid behind the debris.

"Even so, I still don't want to bet. I want to actually win." As he spoke, he quickly operated on the touch screen of the console.

A decoy was launched cold, but did not get it started.

At this time, Wang Pingan's "eyes" inserted outside could clearly capture the enemy's infrared signal, because the continuous laser irradiation just now produced a lot of waste heat.

In addition, the irradiation of the laser weapon operated by Angeli also raised the temperature of the body on the opposite side a lot.The heat is still collected on the enemy aircraft, and has not had time to be dissipated into the universe.

Most of the space in the universe is close to absolute zero, and the temperature difference is only one factor affecting the speed of heat conduction.

"Open the heat sink." Wang Ping'an ordered.

Following Angeli's operation, the heat dissipation system of the combat boat was fully turned on, and high-temperature liquid tin sprayed out from the head of the radiator, and then was re-absorbed by the magnetic system at the tail.

Angeli: "I'll be hit by an electromagnetic cannon!"

"No. I've been in the woods many times. He'll think it's bait—I mean, we're bait."

Angeli frowned: "You are too unconventional, how could you use this kind of tactics when you encounter pirates?"

"Not necessarily, maybe I will find a fateful opponent from the pirates." Wang Pingan joked very easily, "We know each other better than anyone else."

After speaking, Wang Pingan began to sing: You belong to me...

Angeli looked at Wang Ping'an who suddenly started singing, her brows were twisted into twists.

In the melody of the song, the radiator exhausts the waste heat and dissipates it into the universe.

Wang Pingan started to act again.

He maneuvered the completely cooled spaceship out from behind the wreckage.

At this time, the distance between the enemy and the enemy is still hundreds of kilometers, and it is quite difficult to capture the small spaceship moving among the wreckage without sensors.

By the way, he cut off the optical fiber with the drone, and switched the drone to a wireless communication state.

At this time, the enemy finally acted, and several drones were quickly eliminated.

"Using a drone to shoot lasers to destroy my drone, I expected it." Wang Pingan said to himself, "You still haven't changed a bit after all these years, Itsuki."

In addition to the standard equipment, the combat boat also has some "optional equipment", which is selected by oneself before entering the simulated battle.

Wang Ping'an's optional equipment is fully equipped with reconnaissance equipment.

Angeli: "How do you find the enemy's location?"

"I'm not looking for it." Wang Pingan operated the spacecraft and entered a relatively empty space.

Just at this time, the bait he had just launched was activated at regular intervals, emitting a very weak infrared signal.

Wang Pingan held his breath and looked back and forth at all the display screens in front of him.

Suddenly, infrared captures the target.

It should be the heat energy generated by the launch of the electromagnetic gun.

"I found you!" Wang Ping'an clicked on the screen, and the computer immediately aimed the optical device at that position and zoomed in quickly.

The body of the forest used a piece of debris as cover, 98 kilometers away from Wang Ping'an.

The rate of approach is 3 kilometers per second.

Wang Pingan smiled, and he switched the electromagnetic gun to plasma mode.

The plasma cannon is actually a variant of the electromagnetic cannon, as long as the bomb supply system is replaced with an ionization device.The difference is that traditional electromagnetic guns launch solid projectiles, while plasma cannons project ionized high-temperature plasma.

The electromagnetic gun relies on the kinetic energy of the projectile to kill the target, so the projectile must have a relatively large mass.

The plasma cannon mainly relies on the high temperature of the plasma to kill the target, and the quality of the plasma itself is much smaller than that of the projectile.

In this way, under the same projection trajectory, the speed of the "projectile" fired by the plasma cannon is much faster.In cosmic battles, because the combat distance is too far away, an increase in speed often directly means a soaring hit rate.

But the plasma cannon also has a disadvantage compared to the electromagnetic cannon, that is, it is a behemoth that devours energy.

Generating high-temperature plasma requires a huge amount of energy, and the reactors of most combat boat-level aircraft simply cannot provide such energy.

Therefore, the plasma cannons on the battleship need to be powered by high-density energy batteries.

In addition, launching a plasma cannon will generate much more heat than launching an electromagnetic cannon. In the universe, it is like turning on a radio to broadcast one's own position.

Fire to expose.

But if you've already won when you start firing, who cares so much?
Wang Pingan launched, and the plasma rushed out with a whoosh.

The huge amount of heat emitted by the electromagnetic gun turned Wang Ping'an's body into a lighthouse in the universe.

"Laser irradiation! Disturb the enemy!" Wang Pingan shouted.

It only takes about six seconds for the plasma to hit, and it only needs to disturb the opponent for six seconds!

Angeli has already moved, and the lasers are focused on the target!
Angeli: "He avoided it!"

Wang Pingan: "Damn it, he understands me too."

He pressed the reload button, and the body ejected the exhausted photoelectric battery and replaced it with a new one.

"One more shot!"

At the same time as the plasma cannon was fired, the overheating alarm sounded rapidly.

Forest dodged the cannon again.

At this time, Wang Ping'an could no longer use the plasma cannon and electromagnetic cannon due to the overheating of the weapon, and the heat accumulated in the body may exceed the heat resistance limit at any time.

But Wang Ping'an still has attack methods that don't require much heat.

He pressed the button for the missile salvo.

Sure enough, the battle in the universe will end with the Banno circus!
The compressed air ejected all the missiles from the launcher, and then they rushed to the green light like a swarm of bees cheerfully and followed the illuminated enemy aircraft.

Because there is always laser irradiation, the temperature of the enemy plane is not much lower than that of Wang Ping'an's body, just like a torch attracting infrared-guided missiles!
Then the universe disappears, replaced by a single line of text:
The winner is: Wang Ping'an Crew!
