Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 454 The 'dock' and the MEGA electromagnetic gun

"Alright, Shia."

After sighing for a moment, Ivan's face returned to normal, and he said softly to Shia beside him:

"Hurry up and board your 'White Crow' and prepare for the next battle."

"Yeah." Shia nodded obediently to Ivan.

"Child," Andre exhorted, showing a kind face unique to Shia:

"I know that your ability is against the sky in the whole company, but you should also be careful, do you hear me? The most important thing is to ensure your own safety."

"Yes, don't worry, father." Shia smiled at Andre again.

Then the 'witch' put on the helmet given by the ground crew, and with the assistance of the ground crew, used the lifting rope of the 'White Crow' to enter the cockpit.

in the cockpit.

The moment Shia sat in the driver's seat, the surrounding panoramic screens automatically lit up, and the cockpit of the white crow was very different from ordinary mobile suits.

Because there are no joysticks in the cockpit.

When Shia was confused, a series of subtitles appeared on the screen in front of her:

Spiritual connection in progress...

connecting…

The connection is complete.

The driver was identified as Sia Andreina Ostrovsova.

The degree of matching is 97.8%.

After the subtitles showed the final match, Shia discovered that she could use her 'thought' to control her white crow to move.

Hangar deck.

"Haha!" Seeing that Shia was able to control the white crow to move freely, Andre couldn't help showing a proud face, and praised:

"As expected of my daughter, she has mastered the MS control method so quickly."

"General, it's just that the white crow's telepathic system has been improved." But Tina, who was standing behind Andre, "spoured a basin of cold water" on the veteran.

"." Andre's smile stagnated, but he didn't bother to care about Tina, who was straighter than a straight girl.

As for Ivan, when Shia entered the cockpit, he joined the forty second-stage Spartans and took the elevator to the high-altitude corridor at the height of the god's neck.

Then, under the guidance of the technicians, Ivan came to the back of the neck of his special machine, and boarded the driving pin, and entered the interior of the divine body.

Inside the drive key.

Under the dim red emergency light, the NCF liquid was being filled rapidly, and Ivan also showed a novel look, because for the first time he felt that he could breathe freely in the 'water'.

After the NCF fluid is completely filled, the panoramic screen of the driving plug will also light up, providing Ivan with the situation around the divine body.

Seeing this, Ivan also restrained his expression, and turned on the communication and ordered Tina quietly:

"Tina, now all the divine bodies are ready, let the mixed fleet make a jump, and the target is 2ETM away from the dock."

"Yes, master."

Following the conversation between Ivan and Tina, not far from the front of the flagship's hull, a blue vortex entrance exclusive to the transition channel emerged.

At the same time, entrances appeared on the front ends of other warships.

Immediately afterwards, the mixed fleet consisting of the First Fleet, the Containment Fleet, and 15 non-rebel UNSC warships all entered the jump channel, preparing to quickly arrive near the dock where the rebels assembled.

Two minutes later.

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

It is named the asteroid belt, naturally because there are a large number of asteroids gathered in this belt.

Under the mutual gravitational effect of the sun and Jupiter, more than 500,000 asteroids are stably revolving in the asteroid belt at a distance.

A shipyard transformed from a dwarf planet is also located in this area.

If the sun's rays are directly shining, even from a distance of 1 or 1.5 ETM, this giant artificially modified celestial body can be observed with the naked eye.

The exterior of the dock is covered with decompression chamber gates of different sizes. The small one can only accommodate a Pelican, and the large one can even accommodate a Phoenix-class aircraft carrier.

In addition to these gates, there are also a large number of fixed-point fortifications on the surface of the dock, such as large-caliber Gauss cannons, plasma cannons, and particle beam cannons, and there are countless Gauss close-in defense guns.

And in the center of the dock, a cannon port is particularly conspicuous.

This is a "MEGA" electromagnetic accelerator gun that is "bigger" than the super electromagnetic gun of the Endless-class battleship.

The MEGA electromagnetic gun has a barrel length of ten kilometers, uses 3,000 tons of tungsten projectiles, and can accelerate the tungsten projectiles to 17% of the speed of light.

(1. Note: MEGA means mega, larger, super large, super super and so on. In order to better distinguish and sound nice, we directly use "Mega/MEGA" as the name.

The ranks of electromagnetic guns are now arranged in order from weak to strong as follows.

① 30 tons of tungsten projectiles.

It is the caliber of the frigate, battleship and Phoenix class, as well as the endless class electromagnetic gun array, and it is also the caliber of the ground fixed-point defense electromagnetic gun.

The orbital railgun arrays of Earth, Mars, and Titan also use this caliber.

② 300 tons of tungsten projectiles.

The caliber used by Infinity-class battleships.

③ 3000 tons of tungsten projectiles.

At present, only the shipyard, and the north and south poles of Reach, have the Mag electromagnetic accelerator.

2. Note:

When the author wrote about frigates in more than 40 chapters, he deliberately wrote 30 tons of tungsten projectiles. The actual data of the frigate electromagnetic guns in "Halo" are as follows;

Length: 366m.

Projectile: 600 tons of iron-tungsten alloy projectile.

But when the author wrote this caliber, he felt that the data was a bit too exaggerated for the original Umbrella, so he replaced the iron-tungsten projectile with tungsten, and the tonnage was also reduced to 30 tons.

But now that it has entered the interstellar battle, it is natural to prepare to increase the tonnage to 'thousand'.

So the author also reviewed the math and calculated how big the 3,000-ton tungsten projectile is.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is: V=(4/3)πr.

The specific gravity of tungsten is: 19350kg/m.

3000 tons = 3000000kg.

3000000/19350≈155m.

4/3 x 3.14 x r = 155m

r ≈ 37m.

So a 3000 ton tungsten projectile has a radius of about 37m, a diameter of about 74m, and a volume of about 155m.

As for how strong the destructive power of accelerating to 17% of the speed of light is, the author won't do the calculation, and can only rely on pure imagination. If there are some great readers who can figure it out...

Kneel it. )

A few years ago, after Halsey developed the Hector hydrogen bomb of 1.7 billion tons of TNT, William proposed to Halsey the idea of ​​a "super super" electromagnetic accelerator.

In the middle of 2022, Halsey broke through the technical difficulties of the Mag electromagnetic accelerator, and William approved the construction.

There are only three so far.

Not because of the difficulty of construction, but because William hopes to install the Mag electromagnetic gun on a battleship larger than Infinity.

Therefore, from 2023 until now, Halsey has been perfecting the concept of a warship with a tonnage larger than Infinity.

at this time.

Nearly 200 UNSC warships forced to mutiny are moored on the track of the dock, and thirty-seven dark blue transition exits appear at the Chaoyang 2ETM position of the dock.

Umbrella's mixed fleet arrived near the dock, and a large-scale 'civil war' was about to break out.
