Once everything is ready, you can ignite and launch.
Conventional launch methods can only guarantee accuracy within the range, but this ultra-long range has extremely high requirements for accuracy. The time and direction of free flight determine the final hit rate of the missile.
In order to improve accuracy, Ye Han had to abandon the conventional launch method and instead used a manipulator to send the missile outside the ship. It first flew with the warship for a short distance, and only after there was no problem with the general direction, it ignited to accelerate the missile.
The missile's acceleration phase only lasts a few minutes. When the acceleration phase ends, the missile has flown far in front of the Leishan.
This is only the first stage of the launch. Next, Leishan will check the missile's direction every once in a while. As long as it finds the slightest deviation, the fire control system will immediately fine-tune the missile's direction to ensure that the missile maintains the correct flight.
direction.
Just like that, the missile that pinned the hope of the entire ship flew towards the alien fleet... Of course, it was only the first one.
With the experience of modifying the first one, the subsequent modifications went very smoothly. Seven hours later, two more missiles passed the test and were launched one after another by the Leishan.
In this way, over four days, the Leishan fired a total of eleven long-range missiles at enemy ships.
The modification of long-range missiles is still continuing, but there are only so many long-range missiles on the ship. It is not known whether the ones that have been launched can hit the target. To be cautious, Ye Han did not waste any more missiles, but saved all the modified missiles.
.
Not only is Ye Han looking forward to the performance of these missiles, from Gao Kai who is nearby on the Nanzhou to the senior officials who are far away in Beiyue Continent, they all have the same expectations as him.
Time passed day by day in waiting and uneasiness. The Leishan had to observe missiles and enemies every day. It was about to hit the target in two days. Ye Han suddenly discovered that the enemy ship had released a group of alien fighters, and they were old-style alien fighters.
.
After receiving the news, Ye Han rushed to the bridge immediately. When he saw the alien fighter plane on the screen, he immediately asked: "What direction is the enemy plane from?"
"This is our direction, it should be coming towards us." He Lu said.
Ye Han immediately became alert: "When the plane is launched at this time, do they want to intercept the missile?"
The Leishan is still far away, and the range of the alien fighters is very limited. The possibility of targeting the Leishan is very small, so the enemy's target can only be missiles.
Luo Qi looked stunned: "It's impossible, right? It's so fast, how can you stop it?"
At present, the relative speed between Leishan and the alien fleet is about seventy kilometers per second. The speed of the missile is even faster. The relative speed with the enemy ship exceeds one hundred kilometers per second. It only takes a short time for both sides to reach the target.
They will pass by each other in an instant, and it only takes a few seconds to fly out of the range of the thin light.
Not to mention the pitiful firepower of the alien fighter planes, even if it were replaced by an alien warship with strong firepower, it would not be that easy to intercept the missile in such a short period of time.
Ye Han couldn't figure it out either and said hesitantly: "It probably can't be stopped... No, they don't want to use fighter planes to block missiles, right?"
When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears. Luo Qi nodded: "It's possible, it's very possible that the aliens are not short of these planes. What's the way? Is there any way to avoid them?"
He Lu shook his head solemnly, but nodded immediately.
Luo Qi felt bad: "You are nodding and shaking your head, what do you mean?"
"It should be possible, but I have to think about it carefully." He Lu said.
Luo Qi urged: "What on earth are you thinking? Tell me and listen. Don't just think about it on your own."
He Lu smiled and said: "We activate the missile in advance and control the missile to maneuver a few seconds in advance. As long as it is slightly deflected, we can get past the enemy plane. We can turn back and correct the direction... That's it..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the distance is too far, and it's hard to control the activation and avoidance time." He Lu said with a frown.
After a week of continuous flight, the distance between the first missile and Leishan was half a light minute, and it took a minute for the control signal to go back and forth.
This is only the current time delay. The distance between the missile and the warship is still growing. In other words, the time delay is still growing. In addition, the speed of the enemy aircraft is difficult to determine. It is currently impossible to determine when the encounter will occur or at what distance.
Sure.
There cannot be any slight deviation in the control signal. Even if there is only a delay of one second, all previous efforts may be wasted.
Ye Han said: "Then calculate in advance and prepare in advance. The system will send signals regularly to minimize the risk."
"That's all it can do." He Lu said.
After deciding on the response plan, the next step is long-term monitoring and calculation. This is a very monotonous and boring job. As long as the enemy aircraft's speed changes slightly, the encounter time will change greatly. The result is that all data must be recalculated.
The signal sending time also needs to be reworked.
Luo Qi simply didn’t understand this aspect of work, Ye Han understood it but was not that proficient in it. Only He Lu was qualified for this work, so He Lu took up the task without hesitation and found a few bridge officers who were proficient in orbit calculations.
, form a temporary monitoring team to monitor and calculate 24 hours a day, and all data must be calculated independently by three people, and then compare the calculation results to ensure that there are no problems with the calculation results to the maximum extent.
In this way, the temporary monitoring team worked continuously for two days, and finally ushered in the critical moment.
Everyone rushed to the bridge in advance and waited anxiously for the encounter between the missile and the enemy plane.
Thirty-two seconds before the encounter, Leishan automatically sent out a control signal. Half a minute later, the first missile started its engine and suddenly began to change direction.
The unprepared enemy plane opened fire hurriedly, and the thin beams of light passed by the missile, and the missile passed over the enemy plane in the blink of an eye.
The news of the successful air defense was sent back to the Leishan, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Han concluded: "This tactic is very good. He Lu, you and the monitoring team should work hard and persist for a few more days."
"Yes, don't worry." He Lu agreed immediately and immediately entered the next round of calculations.
The second and third missiles will encounter enemy aircraft seven hours later, and the monitoring team must calculate all the data before the encounter.
In fact, the data is all ready, and we are afraid that the enemy aircraft will change speed during this period.
However, the situation turned out to be more complicated than expected. Only about twenty minutes later, the monitoring team discovered that the alien fleet had sent a second group of alien fighters.
This group of enemy planes must have been targeting the first missile that successfully penetrated the defense. The situation ahead was not optimistic. Ye Han had just put down his mind but became worried again.
Seven hours later, the second wave of missiles encountered enemy aircraft. The monitoring team made all preparations in advance, and the alien aircraft group also dispersed in advance.
The signal was sent out on time, and everyone was waiting anxiously for the final result. A minute later, a dazzling bright light suddenly burst out on the main screen.
The recent content is very boring, isn't it? In the past, I didn't think very carefully about space battles. Recently, I write after careful consideration. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the content I wrote before is unreliable. But the more reliable it is, the more reliable it becomes.
