Release that Witch

925. Chapter 925 Air Defense Program

    In fact, a few key issues that Roland talked about earlier, followed by air defense forces.

    As a person who has seen modern warfare, the advantage of air superiority is almost inscribed in his mind like a creed – because of the breadth and depth of the sky, the dominant party can choose to attack from any direction and at any time. And before the radar did not appear, such an attack can be said to be invincible. If you don’t have reliable air defense capabilities, it is tantamount to dream of building a shelling position under Devil’s eyelids.

    Now he can be sure that when Logia flees back to Neverwinter City, Devil has more than once reached the Western Region border. Otherwise they are impossible to judge that this is a city dominated by ordinary people, and try to use the threat of the first War of Divine Will to reapply.

    But whether it is the post on the Impassable Mountain Range or the God Punishment Witches for the early detection of the front line, there is no slightest awareness. If it wasn’t for Silvy to take over the warning work, I am afraid this round of attacks will not occur until the enemy appears outside the city wall. The First Army can react.

    This has fully proved that under the current technical conditions, the vast sky will be the biggest flaw in the Neverwinter City line of defense.

    After all, the Air Force is an unimaginable concept for this era.

    When I knew that Devil had a flying Dread Beast, Roland had been thinking about air defenses. Unfortunately, no one expected that Devil would appear so early that the planned desperate defense lines, telephone networks, and new weapon developments were No one can be really done.

    The First Army failed to achieve the results and did not surprise him. Revolving rifle as a transitional weapon, used to supplement the dead zone of artillery and machine guns, and used to clean the battlefield, but its shortcomings are increasingly prominent – limited pressure The accuracy is not high, and the range is close; if there is no special loading hand, the shell with a capacity of five rounds makes the firepower delivered per unit time very limited, which is not conducive to the straggler warfare. In addition, the air-to-air shooting has lost its usual stable fulcrum, and it cannot be adjusted by judging the error of the bullet point. The hit rate can be imagined.

    It is not impossible to improve this situation in a short period of time. The easiest way is to make changes to the above points.

    The phasing out of revolving rifle and the replacement of the new bolt action rifle is a matter of planning. Some parts still require Anna processing, so only a small-scale precision shooter team is equipped. But as the new generation of machine tools is put into use, workers are becoming more familiar with new manufacturing methods and can do processing and assembly without relying on witch. Once the yield is guaranteed, it is not a problem to upgrade this part of the production capacity.

    However, it is difficult for some strong men to rely on a few rifles for air defense alone. Moreover, although the accuracy and range of the former will be improved, the speed of the former will decrease. In addition, the structurally complex tracer is unbearable for the bullet production line that is running at full capacity. Even if the technical breakthrough is now started, it is feared that the Months of Demon will pass when the mass production can be stabilized.

    Therefore, the bolt action rifle can only be used as an aid. The First Army also needs a targeted air defense weapon.

    Roland, the advanced fire control route, estimates that there is basically no drama, and the barrier coverage is his only choice.

    The easiest way to do this is to convert the Mark I Model heavy machine gun into an anti-aircraft machine gun – this is also a historical practice, without the need to add a little burden to production and logistics, just design a set of high-level dual-purpose brackets and sights. Can get a certain low-altitude defense ability.

    His previous design of the Mark I Model did not use a water-cooled casing, but a light air-cooled barrel, which was also considered for subsequent modifications.

    Heavy machine gun High speed, long range, high power, short ballistic ballistic drop is not obvious, and the wild demon with limited throwing distance is just enough. If Devil attacks the wall, there are two Mark I Model machine guns that can shoot against the air. Maybe the results will be completely different.

    After the announcement of the meeting, Roland did not return to the office immediately, but went to the Arithmetic Institute.

    This new courtyard is located at the southern end of the castle district and echoes the chemical laboratory next door. Most of the members are members of the Astrology Association. However, under the aura of the Sage’s study, many urban residents who have completed the primary education curriculum have recently entered the Arithmetic Institute, and even the job applicant is one or two more than the joining Alchemy Association.

    Roland speculates that this is probably due to a frequent explosion in the lab.

    The Scattered Star Scholar greeted him in the hall.

    After the ceremony, the chief astrologer excitedly expressed the depth and beauty of mathematics.

    “Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. The Geometry Analysis that you gave me before is a gods! I never thought that one day the world would be so clear – it has nothing to do with the brightness of the eyes, but the way people think. Even if I am aging until my eyes are dim, I can no longer look up to the stars, and the world is still clear. For example, the hair you are curling now is pure numbers and symbols in my eyes, as well as your robes and boots…”

    When he saw the other party stop, Roland had to interrupt him. “The content on the book, have you mastered it?”

    “I can’t say it, but most of it should be fine,” Scattered Star converges. “In the past six months, apart from the computing tasks you explained, everyone is busy with a huge job. That is All stars observed in the past are re-recorded in the form of equations. To this end, we have established the starry sky coordinates and also identified the “World Extermination Star” – that is, the Red Moon you said, without any signs of movement. ”

    Roland also paid attention to the Red Moon. After all, its arrival symbolized the beginning of the War of Divine Will. However, now Devil has appeared, and it is meaningless to pay attention to this countdown qualitative star.

    “I have a new computing task that you need to do, and the sooner the better,” he said directly. “But this time is more than just arithmetic, but with the First Army to solve practical problems.”

    “Do you mean writing cannon shots like last time?”

    “More complicated,” Roland shook his head. “You have to work with the craftsman to make a device that predicts the target movement. It is controlled by two mutually influential equations, one describing the displacement in the horizontal direction and the other describing the displacement in the vertical direction. I have a rough design idea here, but the specific parameters need to be determined after you have measured it. ”

    This is a simple high-altitude aiming model – by setting the heading, distance and other parameters of the target, you can give the high angle and advance angle required by the gun body, so that the missile can fly on the path of the enemy to complete Blocking the air. It does not require any electronic equipment, the structure is fully mechanical manual operation, the only need is a calculated shot table, and the most basic algebraic geometry knowledge.
