Chapter 318 (1/2)
”Oh? You shouldn't keep only flying saucers? What other weapons of war should there be?” Ye Yang asked.
”There should also be space fighters, aircraft micro warships and a large number of aircraft armours, but these only saw a few aircraft armours and a few broken micro warships, which were found later in a place other than the 'hangar', which is unreasonable.”
”Why is it unreasonable?” Ye Yang asked.
On the other hand, the direct dialogue is unclear, so I want to send information to Ye Yang.
Ye Yang looked at the documents sent from the opposite side. After checking them, he felt that it was really strange.
Ye Yang used to be a man on earth. The earth has never had a space war before. He doesn't know much about all kinds of space war. At most, some science fiction films and television works, such as screenwriters and directors, are YY there.
Many science fiction works see flying saucers because there are many folklores about flying saucers, which is easy to attract popularity. And the mecha, too. It's handsome. So in all kinds of science fiction, this kind of thing is the most, and then to all kinds of warships. As for fighters, there are relatively few.
Why should aliens have flying saucers, mecha, warships and fighters sailing in the interstellar vacuum? Many people don't know. Whether it's all kinds of games or film and television works, they are a little vague.
But there are data here that show that the functions of several aircraft are different.
The first is the fighter. It looks like an airplane on earth, but it can fly in a vacuum.
Their greatest feature is their strong ability to tackle tough problems. Fast speed, strong attack power and high flexibility, but the defense is seriously insufficient. Simply put, in a world of the same level of civilization, airplanes are made faster than flying saucers.
For example, people on earth can also make flying saucers, but they can't compare with planes. Getting an alien UFO is faster than an airplane on earth, but using the technology on the UFO to use it on a fighter, the fighter can be faster than a UFO.
This is caused by the body structure and other settings. Just as fish can swim better than birds, birds are better at flying than fish.
The main function of flying saucers is reconnaissance and detection.
It's more flexible than a fighter. There are some special flying saucers that are no slower than fighters made under the same technology. But the price is... Weak attack.
If you want to improve your attack ability, you will reduce your speed and other aspects.
Flying saucers have strong reconnaissance ability, stealth and detection ability, but compared with other gadgets made with the same technology, they have insufficient attack ability and defense ability.
For example, special service personnel are the same as the special forces in charge of tackling tough problems in the army. In terms of infiltrating latent search intelligence, special agents are more powerful than special forces, but the tough battle can't be compared. There may be a few special agents who are better than the special forces, but that's only a few, not the norm.
As for warships, their role is to ”transport”, and some of them are also involved in combat, but their real purpose is not to directly participate in critical or defensive warfare, but to be responsible for support on the battlefield.
For example, transport energy or materials to other places, or support other combat troops in mid air, supplement consumption, etc. Occasionally, it also acts as a signal relay station and so on. But it's not directly used for combat.
The main body of combat is mainly fighters, which is the protagonist of the battlefield, replacing defense with attack.
In addition to these weapons of war, there are ”fortresses”. A fortress flying in space can be a fortress formed after the structure of a large warship is changed, or a fortress of various spheres.
In some cases, the inner structure is reinforced, but the outer shell is a star. Or directly hollowed out inside the small star to make a fortress.
The main function is ”defense”, which uses strong defense ability to contain the enemy, and at the same time, to cover our own forces in the too open environment in space.
The number of them is small, because the first priority in space warfare is to destroy the enemy. Attack is the best defense. But sometimes it is necessary.
For example, to cover the withdrawal of the main forces, such as in the long-term confrontation of war of attrition, these fortresses must be used, because if the warship is exposed to space, even if the high-speed flight does not stop, it may also be attacked by the speed of light. What's more, it can't maintain high-speed flight all the time, which is inconvenient for the integration of teams and the return of fighters to supplement resources.
Of course, the flight speed of the fortress is relatively slow, and it will be difficult to escape when surrounded. Therefore, it will generally be in a ”deformed” state.
That is, a giant ship on the surface will become a huge square or round sphere when necessary. It looks like dirt, but its defense ability is amazing. When you want to escape, you leave a shell there and the ship body escapes from it.
Because when the giant ship deforms, it will release the armor plate carried by the ship body or the rock stratum extracted from space to the periphery of the fortress. When it escapes, it will leave the shell composed of deck and rock stratum. The escaped ship body is equivalent to abandoning the previously loaded deck, with little loss, but it can be more convenient to accelerate the escape because of weight reduction.
There is also ”mecha”.
Among all kinds of film and television works on earth, there are all kinds of humanoid mecha, which is very handsome. However, according to the research and analysis of scientists, the combat ability of humanoid mecha is not as good as other forms of mecha. Such as spider form, wolf form and so on.
Human body structure is not more suitable for combat than that of other wild animals. The human body structure is more suitable for using tools than fighting directly with the body. The form of mecha is also human, which is at a disadvantage.
But alien mecha is close to human form. Why?
Are those aliens just because the mecha is handsome? Is it easier for users to look like they have a sense of substitution?
That's not the reason.
The most important feature of alien humanoid mecha is ”easy to operate”!!
If the operation mode such as keyboard or joystick is used, which is similar to the operation mode of aircraft, the humanoid armor and other forms of armor are at a disadvantage. No advantage at all.
But if you use the way of ”immersive virtual driving” to control, the advantage is too great.
Immersive virtual driving is to let aliens wear virtual helmets, and the nerves of the body are fully connected with the nerves of the mecha body. It is equivalent to that the human body obtains ”perception sharing” with the mecha through special means, and feels that the mecha has become its own body.
The operation becomes very simple. The mecha will follow how the body moves. In particular, aliens with strong spiritual power and developed spiritual ability use this operation method better than people on earth. Because this reaction is faster.
Using such a mecha, it can be said that even an idiot can learn to drive a mecha in just half a day as long as he knows how to move his hands and feet. Cloned life is also easy to control this kind of mecha.
Moreover, because the mecha is human, it can easily load various forms of weapons, which is very convenient. A mecha, adjust the weapon, the function becomes completely different.
Then the advantage becomes amazing. As long as the production speed can keep up, the formation speed of this super cannon fodder is much faster than that of fighters, and the cost performance is better than that of other aircraft armor.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the number of war weapons and humanoid mecha made by aliens is very large. However, because the function of fighters is relatively simple, they can be controlled by remote control, or even by computer program control, so the number is more than humanoid armor.
”Originally, there are so many famous places in space war, including so much knowledge...” Ye Yang only felt that it was an eye opener.
Then you see the analysis under the file.
The research results of military scientists on earth show that if alien giant ships still have all kinds of war weapons, the number of humanoid mecha is at least one fifth or more of that of UFOs.
