Darkness is Coming - Chapter 701

Although the upper military did not deliberately block the news under the instructions of the central government, most people can infer that the number of monsters that will appear when the second wave of magic comes will be far greater than the first time. The magic tide is bigger. But even the Shanghai General Administration of Beijing’s participation in the Nandu Military Region failed to make an accurate estimate, and it was only now that people knew what the concept of “huge” was.

After the first group of “monster vanguards” gathered were all eliminated, the density of monsters in the Hongkou area was greatly reduced. However, if the viewing angle is increased to the whole area of ​​Shanghai, it can be found that the number of cracks in the urban area of ​​Shanghai has not decreased. The increase was reversed. During the period of time when the unmanned army was intercepting the monsters, countless monsters emerged from the cracks. Compared with the two, the batch of monsters that were enough to be called “magic tide” was at best just one flower. Just a small wave.

Fortunately, these monsters are obviously not organized and planned invaders. After they descended on Shanghai, out of curiosity about the new world, they always had to explore the surrounding environment first. The LED electronic screens on the street or the telephone poles and street lights on the street will arouse their curiosity, so until they get tired of playing, the things that can be seen everywhere in the daily life of Shanghai residents can attract their attention.

But this does not mean that they will stay in the city for a long time. It can be seen that some large monsters have a very strong concept of the domain, and other monsters will never be allowed to appear in their “new territory”. If there are weak monsters If they break in, they will shred or drive them away. If more powerful monsters break in, they will mostly choose to back down, occupy a new territory, and drive out weaker monsters in the territory.

  The expelled monsters can only continue to spread outward, so the red patches representing the monsters on the electronic sand table began to spread on the map, and the edges of the patches collapsed into dense red dots, and they were expanding seemingly irregularly.

   But Shang Hai’s space is limited. As the number of cracks and monsters continues to rise, it won’t take long for monsters that spread outward to attack the defense line.

   Shortly after the two rounds of shelling ended, a new round of fighting started in the streets of Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District, and another group of monsters who had gathered to charge in the same direction for various reasons encountered a head-on attack.

As long as the drone signal base station above the urban area is still there, the combat range and maneuverability of the omnic army far exceed that of the conventional army, and the artillery group with relatively weak mobility does not need to move. The range of tens of kilometers is matched with supercomputers and super brains. The unmatched computing power generated by cooperation is enough to make them proud of the battlefield. After all, the enemy is not a modern army with the same ultra-long-range precision strike capability, but a group of “deaf and blind” alien creatures.

However, at this time, the large group of monsters migrating southeast from the streets of Jiangwan Town are no longer terrestrial creatures, but flying creatures with various wings, and most of them are gregarious creatures. Hundreds of thousands of monsters are piled up in each flying queue. Only monsters, the densest ones are like tropical fish swimming in groups in the ocean. Once other monsters rush into the queue to attack, they will disperse like balloons explode, and then form a flying queue again.

To deal with these monsters that are at least 100 meters above the ground and can easily make three-dimensional maneuvers, the effective lethality of the artillery regiment is greatly reduced, and it is impractical for the drone regiment to intercept such an air force. Monsters and drones are not only small in size, but also far less maneuverable. The weapons equipped by reconnaissance drones are difficult to kill monsters, and the number of armed combat drones is too small to form an effective interception.

   So the task of intercepting is neither the artillery regiment nor the drone regiment, but a new omnic force that has never been seen before.

The fleet of unmanned all-terrain crawler transport vehicles drove to the front of the monster’s flight path, and then the mechanical engineers erected ten metal plates placed equidistantly in the wide area. These heavy “big plates” looked like thickening This type of solar panel does not look like a precision instrument. Only the researchers involved in the research and development know that these thick metal plates represent the highest level of precision in the world.

   They are the “eyes of fire” specially used to deal with small and medium-sized flying monsters.

The monsters flying in aerial combat are actually similar to drones. The size and speed of most flying monsters are not worth mentioning compared to real fighter planes. However, their “small”, “slow” and “weak” are on the contrary. It became a headache for the defenders, because the traditional prevention and control system was created to deal with large air units such as fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft, and could not be used to counter such slow, light, and small air units.

   Moreover, using millions of missiles to hit these “big birds and small birds” is not enough to describe the level of waste. It is feasible to intercept with a dense firepower system composed of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net. Even if the most elite snipers in the army are deployed to form the second line of defense, they will There is no guarantee that you will never miss out.

Before catching the biopsies for quarantine, no one can say what kind of reproductive ability these flying monsters have, or whether they carry mutated bacteria that have never appeared in this world, and it is possible to let any monster go. It will cause a catastrophe.

With the new detection system using passive radar and photoelectric tracking equipment, wiping out flying monsters is no longer an unattainable goal. The dynamics of all flying units in the system will be captured by the detection network, and the data will be gathered to the processing center and then forwarded to the command center, and then the anti-aircraft firepower system will complete the countermeasures.

   When the hordes of flying monsters approached the sky above the air defense unit, the four large turret-shaped men turned their thick gun barrels with black holes and the bomb supply bays that looked like burly arms and opened fire first.

   In terms of structure and appearance, they are quite similar to the 730 close-in naval guns known as Gatling naval guns, but they are different in size and have as many as 11 barrels, and the caliber is only 23 mm instead of 30 mm.

Although the caliber is smaller, judging from the destructive effect produced in actual combat, they are no weaker than the close-up guns installed on warships. Four torches were lit, illuminating the entire street.

The rate of fire of up to 10,000 rounds per minute means that 166 or 167 shells are unloaded every second, so that the flames sprayed from the muzzle are continuous, and to the naked eye, it does not look like a machine gun, but like It was a flamethrower, a jet lighter held in the hands of a giant.

   Four eleven-barrel cannons fired at the same time, with more than 600 bullets flying obliquely into the air every second, and the metal torrent easily tore apart the flying queues of the monsters.

The land-use cannons developed by the Zero One base not only have a much faster rate of fire than the 730 close-in naval guns, but also have higher shooting accuracy and multi-target engagement capabilities. Supersonic targets cause a 96% damage rate. With the defensive power and flight speed of these gregarious flying monsters, it is absolutely unreasonable to hit such a barrage.

The four cannons are like a moat that cannot be crossed. The tens of thousands of tungsten core armor-piercing bullets not only smashed the monsters in the front row into flesh, but also tore the thousands of monsters that followed into pieces. The torrential rain generally falls, and the grief is all over the sky.

The battle situation was in a crushing state, but the torch lit by the machine gun could not burn forever. Based on the maximum amount of ammunition of 2,560 rounds per machine gun after installing the ammunition drum, the high rate of fire can only last for fifteen seconds. And the monsters are obviously not directional moving targets without IQ. They will not continue to charge after a fatal blow at the front of the queue. The survival instinct makes them spread out and climb towards the sky. It may be possible to leave the range of the cannon in time, but the density of the area begins to decrease after the height rises. Even if the cannon continues to shoot after reloading, it will not have the same killing efficiency as before.

Fifteen seconds later, the four machine guns fired empty shells and ceased fire at the same time, but the other group of fully loaded machine guns did not connect their firepower, but continued to wait. From this situation, a few spectators saw the omnic. Legion commander’s check-in style: when the machine gun cannot effectively kill the monster group, he obviously has the ability to achieve seamless fire suppression, but chooses to save artillery shells – although the tungsten core armor-piercing shell is not like the missile shell used by the artillery regiment Worth the money, but the cost can be much higher than ordinary rifle machine gun bullets.

At the same time as the machine gun ceased fire, in the wide area behind the machine gun, two hundred long guns with strange shapes came to life. The shape of these long guns was somewhat similar to that of sniper rifles, and the concept adopted was the drone countermeasure being developed. The gun, but unlike the electromagnetic suppression used by the drone counter gun, the anti-aircraft guns use 12.7mm caliber armor-piercing bullets.

Under their gun stock and gun mount, an additional gun mount is installed, the gun body is firmly stuck on the gun mount, and the gun mount can rotate left and right, or move up and down according to the received signal command, which theoretically can Covering the shooting surface of 180 degrees, if you remove the gun mount and install an auxiliary gun mount, the shooting surface can be raised to 270 degrees or 360 degrees.

  There is a radar detection system to accurately locate the flying units, and the zero-one base, which is dominated by strong artificial intelligence, processes the collected data accurately with almost no time difference.

Various detection instruments around the position conduct on-the-spot measurements and record more than 30 environmental factors that affect ballistic trajectory, such as wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, temperature, air humidity, etc., into data, convert them into zero and one information flow, and then pour into data processing The center, thousands of kilometers away, the zero-one base embraces all rivers, and then turns the ocean of this data into a trickle, flowing into each specific unit.

   After receiving the feedback, the smart gun holder quickly adjusted the gun body, used the gun body as a line, placed it at an accurately calculated angle, and then fired.

The    was clearly a sniper rifle, but it had the effect of an assault rifle. When the flames were exhaling, it seemed that two hundred big drums were placed in the position and banged.

   The drums are excited, ushering in the appearance of the protagonist in the night.

An orange-red light beam that was more solid than a searchlight suddenly appeared under the night. A few seconds later, a “big bat” with a body length of at least ten meters began to fall in the sky. The aerial photography drone clearly recorded what happened in these seconds. everything of.

The beam of light lit up from the transit base established by the omnic forces in the far rear, just like the laser sword in the early sci-fi movies. As soon as it appeared, it stabbed the target’s wings. The big bat that drove other monsters in the sky seemed to have a premonition of danger in advance, but No matter how fast it escapes, it cannot be faster than the speed of light.

The laser beam emitted by the ultra-high power solid-state laser weapon has an energy density of 35,000 joules per square centimeter at this distance. Matter was ejected outward, and the recoil formed a powerful shock wave, tearing horrific fissures between its wings.

If this is not an organism, but an aircraft or a missile, the surface material of the target will absorb heat and be heated and rapidly soften, melt, vaporize, and ionize, and when the deep temperature of the target is higher than the surface temperature, the vaporization Acceleration, the increase in internal pressure will cause the target to explode.

   In other words, if this was an aerospace plane or missile invading the territory, it would have turned into a ball of fire at this point.

The “big bat” at a high altitude was not directly killed by this laser cannon, but the laser beam not only pierced and made holes between its wings, but also almost tore it apart. After losing the ability to fly, it can only cry. It fell to the ground and fell into a patty.

   Then, three more lightsabers were unsheathed, shining in the night sky.

When the General Counselor went to Beijing, a major general surnamed Zhang jumped up excitedly and kicked over the seat. His image in the hearts of the world was always kind, kind, humorous, and he was loved by young people at the age of nearly 60 and as a military expert and general. , but few people know that he is not only a professional mouth gun player, but also an expert in military weapons theory and a leader in military equipment science.

   Director of Huaxia Military Future Research Association, executive director of China National Defense Science and Technology Information Society, and deputy director of the Military Logistics and Military Science and Technology Equipment Teaching and Research Department of National Defense University. These titles are enough to prove that he is not a grandstanding who is witty and clever in front of the media.

  Everyone said that he was the boss of the war, and always thought that no matter what he said, he was misleading the armament research of other countries, and made foreign media make wrong judgments about China’s military power and armament.

   Maybe he did make some misleading intentionally or unintentionally, but who knows how much he hoped that the breakthrough in China’s military technology that he preached would come true every time he made a “strategic bluff”.

   Now, it’s really a dream come true.
