Chapter 357 Military Enhancement
"It's really hard to realize your full potential if you don't force yourself to do it..."
After reading this military report, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
The knowledge you get from paper is always shallow, and you must practice it yourself. In real practice, it is completely different from theory. This should be the best way to use virtual world technology so far.
In this report, it can be seen that after two years of training, the casualty rate of four hours has been reduced from more than 50% at the beginning to less than 20% at the moment, and the soldiers' individual combat capabilities and coordination capabilities have been comprehensively enhanced.
"It's time to start another exercise..."
In the past, soldiers also had related exercises, but they used electronic guns, which means that after being hit, they emitted smoke from their helmets and then declared themselves "death".
In routine exercises, you can’t kill your soldiers alive, right?
Although the failure of this kind of exercise will be punished, such as various corporal punishments, strengthening training, etc., the soldiers will feel guilty, but how can the learning effect be comparable to that of the exercise in virtual space?
Although death in the virtual space will not really die, the pain and fear are real!
Even if this pain is weakened by a large part, a person will still feel strong emotions when he sees his internal organs breaking and his vitality passes away quickly.
A large part of this emotion was transformed into a desire for victory, allowing them to understand the cruelty of war, and learn to use their brains to grow into real soldiers.
Of course, some psychology experts also think that this kind of training is too cruel, or may cause psychological illness among soldiers.
This kind of worry is real, so the interval between each exercise is very long, with at least six months of normal work and rest time. Moreover, after each exercise, there will be relevant psychological counselors to check the soldiers' mental health... If you really can't adapt, you can only withdraw from the army.
The achievements made in the military have not distracted Zhang Yuan from much attention. This is just a small achievement made by the entire civilization in recent years.
Seeing that the time was almost over, he stood up from his seat and set off to attend a major meeting of the Science Council.
When he arrived at the venue, he saw that there were scientists, researchers, technicians and engineers. Many people entered the venue one after another and found their own seats to sit down.
"Everyone, then let's get to the point. This meeting is about the achievements made over the years."
"First of all, the construction of the Pelican transport spacecraft was completed and passed the maneuverability test six months ago... The spacecraft can successfully transport 120,000 people back to Glitzer 581. This is the last return ticket. If you miss it, you will never have another chance."
"Relevant personnel statistics and information reporting must be done well."
In the intention survey the previous month, 120,000 people were hesitating and wandering. They wanted to return to Glitzer 581, but they didn't want to.
Then, no matter how you choose, the Kunlun Mountain Fleet will give you the greatest support and will not forcefully retain it.
The trauma brought by war exists permanently. Although it has healed, the scars it brings still exist.
On the other hand, the Pelican transport spacecraft not only carries 120,000 people back, but will also transport the latest knowledge seized from the Badits.
These knowledge include common sense of the universe, the application of supermagnetic-a materials, and subatomic science. This is a breakthrough for the third-level civilization, and it is very natural to inform the base camp in the rear.
Zhang Yuan continued on the stage: "...Our fleet will go to the trading market of the Thai civilization in the future to seek knowledge of super-light communication and curvature navigation, which may take more than five hundred years or even more than one thousand years!"
"So, this should be the last time that the information is reported to the base camp in the rear. I hope that they can develop smoothly after obtaining this information."
"The search for letters about the public is also being solicited in an orderly manner. The Pelican spacecraft is equivalent to a courier. It is still very risky to use electromagnetic wave communication near the cosmic string route... You can only use this very traditional method. You should be able to return to the base camp in fifty years."
"The captain of the Pelican spacecraft is Mr. Hu Pan of the New Civilization Development Department."
The middle-aged man stood up from his position and bowed directly to all the members of the parliament.
Next is about the supermagnetic-A material, as well as the latest fighter Haiyan Spae-iv fighter, which is the latest developed and is equipped with the latest model of interstellar ramming engine.
The super engine in the first lab is already done!
A simulation diagram of a new generation of warships is displayed on the screen, including the latest electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons and ion cannon weapons.
"...About the performance and cost-effectiveness of this fighter, whether it is worth mass manufacturing, or what difficulties it has encountered. Also, the renewal of the entire electromagnetic industry..."
"In this regard, I would like to invite Ye Junchang from the Military Technical General Staff to make a speech."
The whole discussion was very intense, and the changes brought about by a larger magnetic field were all-round enhancements. Not only did the ion engine become faster and stronger, but weapons such as electromagnetic guns and ion guns will be upgraded again.
According to simple calculations, if these technologies are fully implemented, the maneuverability of the iv-type spacecraft will reach 280% of the iii-type spacecraft. After the war begins, the war loss ratio can reach 1:2 or even 1:3.
Staff Ye said: "Theoretically, the Haiyan IV spacecraft is already a mature third-level civilized fighter, while the Haiyan-iii can only be regarded as a second-level civilized fighter, with a generation difference between them, so it is not uncommon to achieve such a war loss ratio."
"What we face is that the technology is far from mature enough. Materials like supermagnetic-a cannot be preserved, consume huge energy, and must be used immediately. The miniaturization of the entire generator has become the biggest problem... At present, it is extremely expensive to generate a huge magnetic field, and the scale of the device is extremely large, making it difficult to miniaturize it."
Even the Badit civilization itself did not solve this problem.
"In a word, the interstellar ramjet engine, at its current level, can only be installed on medium-sized spacecraft and large spacecraft for the time being."
However, the maneuverability generated by installing on medium-sized spacecraft or large spacecraft will not be so terrifying. At most, it can only be considered a head licking.
To give a simple example, the Haiyan IV spacecraft can easily generate an overload of 8 g. Humans can only withstand a few seconds at this acceleration, but can Kunlun Mountain withstand an overload of 8 g? It is certainly not. With an acceleration of 0.1 g, the spacecraft can be easily tear apart.
Unless the force is precisely applied to every atom like gravity acceleration...
Because of these difficulties, after a meeting, everyone decided to install ramjet engines on one of the Eagle-class destroyers, first try it out, accumulate some technology, and then conduct miniaturization research.
Then the meeting decided to use supermagnetic A materials to install some electromagnetic shield generators at various locations in Kunlun Mountain.
As the simplest shield technology, electromagnetic shield, has not strong defense capabilities for various interstellar war weapons, but it is also a shield technology, which is better than nothing.
What it can resist is mainly free ions in the universe. When the spacecraft is sailing at high speed, the friction between the spacecraft wall and these particles is extremely severe, resulting in a period of navigation in Kunlun Mountain, and you have to stop to maintain the surface of the spacecraft, otherwise all kinds of instruments may be damaged.
However, with electromagnetic shield technology, this ion friction can undoubtedly be reduced a lot, increasing the spacecraft's navigation speed limit, and reducing the number of maintenance times.
This is a very big improvement.
