Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 777 Chapter 777 A New Chapter
Tang State, Tongcheng, in the workshop of a factory, a technician is debugging a device that is bigger than a computer case.

He was very serious, and the gears in this device were pressed one by one, so dense and complicated that it made people collapse.The entire device is precise and complex, and every detail is shining with industrial brilliance.

This is a mechanical gyroscope correction device, which can adjust the rotation of the gear under the drive of the motor according to the rotation of the gyroscope, and is used to drive the operation of some key parts.

The whole device is very complicated, and it is so precise that it requires specialized workers to carefully adjust it with a magnifying glass.

"It's too exaggerated. The precision of this thing is beyond our comprehension." An engineer looked at the equipment in front of him and said to his companion who just took back the screwdriver in his hand.

The companion raised the magnifying glass on his eyes, raised his head and said with a smile: "You know what this thing does, so you should understand its precision requirements."

"I'm just wondering how such a terrible weapon would appear in this world." The engineer carefully fastened the cover on one side of the device, and then began to screw the screws on the frame gently.

"It's nothing, 1700 kilometers is not a short distance. If you want something to fly that far without a driver, you can't do it without precision." The engineer with a magnifying glass on his head smiled and said The screwdriver is in the box next to it.

Lying in the middle of this factory building is a huge tube covered with canvas, and there are four sharp wings protruding from the tail.

That's right, this thing is a missile, and it is also the world's first ballistic missile that may participate in actual combat!
In order to make this thing fly, the chemical factory of Datang Group has been continuously investing in new production technologies, and has been piling up technology to a height sufficient to produce rocket launch fuel.

Although it is still quite difficult to produce these very unstable chemical substances, after all, Tang Guo obtained some nitric acid and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine enough to send a rocket to the sky by manually building them in a chemical laboratory.

These things are either highly corrosive or highly toxic. In short, they are all fatal things. If these things are poured into the inside of the missile, the specially treated body of the entire missile will only have a lifespan of two to three hours.

Therefore, the projectiles placed in this factory building are empty, and everything must be ready before operation.

In order to ensure that this high-quality imitation of DF-3 can fly more than 1000 kilometers smoothly, and can deliver gifts to Emperor Zhao Kai of the Great Hua Empire, the engineers of Tang State have made efforts far beyond imagination.

They have to ensure that their inertial guidance system remains in a reliable working condition, control the missile at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers, and fly at 4 to 6 times the speed of sound until it hits the target.

The good news is that the target to be hit is more than ten kilometers wide and ten kilometers long, so huge that it can't be seen at a glance.

The bad news is that this target is almost 1700 kilometers away from their launch site, and there is no way to verify the measurement of the actual flight trajectory.

"Didn't you launch an experimental rocket a few days ago?" Seeing that the equipment was debugged, the two started chatting again.

"Well, I participated in the experiment. There is no problem with the overall operation of the rocket, and the final landing point is within the design range." The engineer who took off his gloves and threw them on the table nodded and replied with a magnifying glass on his head.

He took off the magnifying glass while talking, and put it on his workbench: "Flying 300 kilometers, the deviation is controlled within 210 meters."

"Isn't this pretty good? If the distance is six times, and the deviation is about six times, it is nothing more than less than 1300 meters, which fully meets the data requirements." The colleague rubbed the few hairs on his head and complained: "Why? You need to improve the accuracy."

"In the previous 9 tests, [-] failed. These things were all produced by hand. The randomness is too high, which makes people worry too much." Apparently, the hairline of the engineer with better technology is also very backward. He grabbed his water glass and took a sip before answering again.

Frankly speaking, with the current processing accuracy, it is indeed a bit reluctant to make a ballistic missile with a range of 2000 kilometers.

However, the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire is about 1500 kilometers away from the border of the Tang Kingdom. This distance can no longer guarantee the safety of the bombing of the Flying Fortress.

Therefore, if Tang Mo wanted to give Zhao Kai a big gift, he could only think of a better way: it was obviously a good choice to have missiles that never returned.

Originally, it was not difficult to produce relatively simple V2 rockets based on Tang's technology accumulation, but the V2 rockets were too small, with a range of only over 300 kilometers, which could not meet Tang Mo's needs to attack the capital of the Dahua Empire.

Therefore, the Tang State's technical department had to start with the more difficult and technologically advanced strategic ballistic missiles, copying the DF-3 missiles with a similar range.

Due to the technical difficulty, this missile shortened the projectile body and reduced the range as much as possible, and set the range at a very suitable 1700 kilometers, which is considered a tailor-made.

In this way, the difficulty of attack accuracy is reduced, and the error can be controlled within seven or eight kilometers in theory.

That is to say, if the most central point of the capital of the Great China Empire is the target, there is a high probability that this missile can land in the capital city of the Great China Empire.

When Tang Mo faced such a poor attack accuracy, he even wanted to cancel this unreliable attack plan.

In his impression, the attack accuracy of the DF-3 missile is about 1 km to 2 km, and it is very easy to hit a city-level target.

Anyway, he didn't want to kill Zhao Kai all at once, so even if there were no mushroom bombs, he didn't think there was any problem with the attack accuracy of 1 km to 2 km.

But the attack accuracy calculation result calculated by his scientists, engineers and technicians was "ten kilometers" that made him dumbfounded!
This kind of attack precision means that even if the target is a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands or millions, it is possible to miss it...

Tang Mo thought of the man with the mustache between his lips and nostrils again. He felt that his missile plan and De San's V2 fireworks plan were nothing short of fluffy.

Desan launched more than 18000 V-type missiles in World War II, and achieved "brilliant" results of killing more than 30000 people... This can no longer be described with hot eyes. Purely killing one hundred enemies and self-defeating three thousand genius behavior.

Tang Mo felt that if he used the DF missile he had developed to attack the capital of Dahua, he would be no different from that Mr. Adolf.

But in recent days, the plan that had been abandoned has ushered in some light: before Tang Mo was not planning to use this secret weapon in this war against the Dahua Empire, but now Tang Mo is going to use this thing To frighten Zhao Kai, let Zhao Kai end this war as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, it was a bluff, which made Zhao Kai feel the pressure of the capital being attacked, and made up his mind to admit defeat and seek peace.

Large-scale throwing is definitely not affordable, but throwing one or two is still no problem.So Tang Mo began to think of ways to help his engineers improve the attack accuracy of the missiles.

Unfortunately, the method of rubbing missiles by hand in the laboratory can barely produce missiles with updated technology, but it cannot guarantee the quality of these missiles.

The previous experimental model, that is, a pure V2 replica, hardly provided Tang Mo's engineering team with any experimental data for reference.

Some missiles crashed after flying more than 100 kilometers, and the attack error of some missiles was as exaggerated as ten kilometers, which was simply horrible.

These data are almost random. Occasionally, a missile completely meets the design requirements, executes the operation instructions perfectly, and lands near the attack target.

But the exact same experimental product will also have a deviation of five kilometers and miss the target at all!

You know, this is a test product with a range of only 300 kilometers, but what is really going to be launched into the territory of the Dahua Empire is a big guy with a range of 1700 kilometers!

No one can guarantee whether the actual combat missile can fly 1500 kilometers with 1700 kilograms of explosives and accurately land on the roof of some unlucky man in the imperial capital of Dahua.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, the engineers and technicians of the Datang Group were divided into two completely different teams, and two identical DF-3 missiles were produced in Tongcheng and Nanye factories respectively.

As for why the first combat-type missile is called DF-3, it is because of His Majesty's strange way of naming weapons.Anyway, everyone is used to it, used to those weird and unfounded weapon names.

In short, the world's first ballistic missile that is about to be put into actual combat is not called West Wind, South Wind, nor North Wind, but it is called Dongfeng, and it is the third generation when it comes up...

"The next round of experiments is the second-generation test product, namely DF-2, with a range of 2 kilometers. There will be a total of 1000 experiments. If the experimental data proves that our inertial guidance equipment is reliable, it will be possible to continue..." two people While speaking, he walked to the side of the huge projectile body covered with canvas.

"I really can't believe it. If someone told me ten years ago that there would be such a thing, I might laugh at him as a lunatic." Reaching out and touching the canvas covering the missile body, he participated in the development of such cutting-edge technology The engineer said with emotion.

This may be the first time that the entire world has the means to attack targets more than 1000 kilometers away. With this weapon, the imperial city more than 1000 kilometers away from the border will no longer be safe.

At this moment, the aborigines in this world don't know that, in Tang Mo's mind, the ultimate form of this weapon is actually to be used with a brand new super weapon.

Once the two become one, a whole new chapter can begin.

"Isn't it? Even when I saw this big guy in front of me with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that it could fly 1700 kilometers and hit the capital of the Dahua Empire." Another engineer excitedly followed suit.

……

The icy water lapped on the deck, and a U-boat was bobbing up and down with the waves on the rough sea.

Leaning on the icy railing, the captain held the binoculars and carefully searched for possible targets on the sea level.

"Captain! I think we've been tricked! It's impossible to have enemy warships in such a ghostly place!" A sailor on a submarine, wearing a thick woolen coat, shouted loudly to the boat beside him amidst the noise of the waves. shouted long.

"Crash!" The sea breeze blew the waves again, hit the hull of the submarine, and shattered into countless white water droplets, splashing everywhere.

"With this time, we may have sunk two transport ships in the south." Another officer who came out to release the wind also complained.

Their submarines have been operating south of Dragon Island since the war began, and their attack targets are mainly transport ships on the route from Goble to Dorne.

In a few months, they have sunk more than 5 tons of transport ships and fishing boats, which can be said to be fruitful.

It is a pity that they were transferred back to Long Island, and immediately after the supply, they were ordered to go north, and transferred the supply base to Beiyuan City.

Compared with Long Island, Beiyuan City's submarine supply facilities are really poor, maintenance takes longer, and the supply environment is not very good.

Even the temperature in Beiyuan City, which has already entered autumn, is already very low. In addition, the economic conditions here are definitely not as good as Long Island. There are not even many places for officers and soldiers to relax when they are resting.

What frustrates the submarine officers and soldiers the most is that they thought they would continue to attack merchant shipping ships in the area south of the mirage, but the actual task was to let them go to the area north of the mirage to search for the illusory joint fleet.

The sea conditions in the northern sea area of ​​Mirage are not good, the sea water is cold, the temperature is lower, and even icebergs appear occasionally.It's really hard to like this kind of broken place where people hate dogs.

Compared with the southern sea area, where the climate is warm and pleasant, and you can easily find the target of attack, this area is simply an exiled area.

Wrapping his coat tightly and adjusting the scarf around his neckline, the captain finally understood why they received such a large pile of seemingly useless things before they left Beiyuan City.

Their boots are special rubber shoes, which are waterproof and warm, completely different from the water shoes they issued before.They had leather gloves, and scarves and coats.As the captain, he also has his own leather jacket, which looks waterproof and warm.

Now it seems that these thoughtful things must have been proposed by the captain who had been here before to carry out missions. People who have never been here really would not think so thoughtfully.

The undulating submarine is extremely small in the waves of this sea area, so it is not stable at all when sailing.

In order to save fuel and maintain a high speed, all submarines can only sail on the sea surface. Submarines in this era are not so much submarines, for example, they are diving boats.

Even when attacking, if conditions permit, submarine commanders are more willing to stay afloat and fire, which is completely different from what most people think.

Only when facing the anti-submarine force of the enemy, the submarine will dive to hide itself, similar to lying down and crawling. If you want to transfer quickly, it is more convenient to get up (floating).

So even though it can dive to avoid bumps, the submarine still floats in the sea in order to hurry, like a flat boat in the stormy sea.

"Search carefully! When you have time to complain, you might as well check the map again! There is no route here, everything depends on us!" Looking down at the compass, the captain coughed and shouted: "If you really feel uncomfortable, get out Go down and take over! Replace someone who is willing to come up!"

Sure enough, the few people standing on the enclosure no longer complained. They were much luckier than the people on duty below to get out of the small submarine and come out for a breath of air.

The captain only knew that the mission ordered them to carry out the search mission here, and did not know more details.

After the war all submarines were ordered to search for the enemy's main fleet, so they were not surprised by this.

But what they didn't know was that there were actually 15 submarines sent to the northern waters of Mirage to search for the enemy fleet this time!
This number is almost all the submarines in the Tang Dynasty. Excluding faults, repairs and maintenance, and submarines performing missions in other sea areas, almost all the forces that can be assembled.

The intelligence department of the Tang army seemed certain that the main fleet of the alliance was hiding in the northern waters of Mirage, so they really dispatched the submarines and began to search in the north.

In addition to 15 submarines, Tang's navy also dispatched three destroyers, which is already the largest force that can be used.

Frankly speaking, even if the Tang State Navy did its best, the number of warships and submarines that could be mobilized was still too small for the sea area they wanted to search.

The good news is that two of the three destroyers are equipped with radars, and their search capabilities are very strong.The bad news is that the remaining submarines and destroyers have to rely on binoculars to find their targets.

It's not a good job, dry and tedious, not thrilling at all.Even to some extent, it is easy to collapse.

When there is no battle, the officers and soldiers of the submarine are also more difficult than the sailors on the real battleship. They have no portholes, almost no decks, and the range of activities is pitifully small.

Fortunately, they were more relaxed than De San's submariners, and they would not be attacked by depth charges dropped by seaplanes that suddenly appeared overhead.

……

Sophia's car stopped at the entrance of a very ordinary manor. Her car door was pulled open by the bodyguard. She got out of the car and walked in alone.

The heavy door opened from the inside, and the three-story castle looked old.The surrounding clearing was littered with rotting leaves.

Two women dressed in black stood on the left and right sides of the corridor when they saw Sophia, and slightly bowed their heads to greet her: "Lord Sophia."

"Is she ready?" Sophia asked the two people behind her while walking forward without looking back.

"My lord, she is always ready." One of the women who followed Sofia replied.

Sophia didn't speak any more, she walked straight to a gate and stopped.Two women in black who followed her stepped forward and helped Sofia open the door.

The room was luxuriously decorated, completely different from the decadent image outside the castle. There was a woman reading a book sitting in the room. When she heard the door being pushed open, she slowly raised her head.

A woman's face is very delicate, in a sense very beautiful.It's just that this face appeared here at this time, which seemed a bit too weird.

She looks exactly the same as Sophia, and she also has fiery red hair. When she raised her head to look at Sophia, Sophia even felt that she saw another self.

But she knew that this woman was not her, but a daughter of a poor farmer's family who didn't even have a name.

"This is your chance to repay me." Sophia looked down at the woman sitting on the sofa and said in a cold tone.

"Thank you, sir, for your care over the past ten years. What can I do for you?" The girl looked at Sophia's beautiful face and asked calmly.

"Die for me..." Sophia said coldly about the girl's ending, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Indeed, although a woman named Sophia was about to die, it wasn't her who died, and of course it had nothing to do with her... much.

"Okay, Lord Sophia." The girl smiled. She knew that all these years of glory and wealth were not without price. Ever since her parents got those gold coins, she was an item that only belonged to Sophia.

"Do you have any wish? I can help you realize it." Sophia was silent for a few seconds before asking again.

"Thank you, I don't need you to do anything." The girl thought about it seriously, bowed to Sophia, and then walked out with the two men in black.

"Use a gun..." In order to narrow the gap between the corpse and herself, Sophia chose a death method that might further damage the face.

The two women in black who closed the door for Sophia responded, and then followed "Sophia" and left the dilapidated castle.

"You drove me to death... Blood debts can only be paid in blood!" Sophia knew that she might only be able to hide in this castle in the future, and her face became extremely ugly.

She walked to the door at the other end, pushed the door open by herself, walked through the corridor step by step, and walked into another building.Here, there are her confidants waiting for her, reporting to her about the transfer of property and hidden progress issues.

Fake death is not a simple matter. In order to keep her massive wealth and still control enough capital for her revenge, Sophia must carefully transfer her assets.

Everything had to be done without anyone noticing, and then she sent her body in front of Tang Mo - only when all the steps were completed, could her death be truly "established".

This is a long process, but she still has a lot of time. The battle between Dahua and Tang for Fengjiang City will not end before winter, and this war will continue.

Everything was still under her control. The only variable was that Tang Mo had no intentions of deviating from her. Tang Mo was really treating her as an opponent, using methods that showed no mercy.

Thinking of this, her complexion became even uglier. Against the backdrop of the candlelight on the backward chandelier, she twisted like a ghost.

In order to keep it secret, everything here has not changed for more than ten years, and only a few people know that such a place exists.Even only Sophia's most core subordinates know that there is a Sophia's double here.

But today's Sophia, who is used to those Tang products, feels uncomfortable here.

If she hadn't been afraid of the Tang people's assassination, she wouldn't have replaced her substitute now... Thinking of all this, Sophia became even more annoyed.She grabbed a cup and slammed it on the ground, causing a series of crisp sounds in the empty room.
