Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

Chapter 981: Distributed system and mesh network

At this time, the new commander, who was caught off guard by Lu Yuan, had to divide the high-speed unit on hand into three groups to pursue the three armored brigades.

The core units among them are naturally the heavy armored beasts of the Tyrannosaurus and the light cavalry of the Trisaurus.

The remaining Lizardmen infantry and Triceratops Diplodocus Thunder Dragon were sent to attack the other seven brigade combat teams.

However, this presents a problem.

Although the spider tanks of the other seven brigade-level combat teams, that is, not many units that can fire high-powered shells while on the move, there are many other firepower units that can attack after they are stationed.

Once the lizardman legion loses its speed advantage, these garrisoned firepower units do not need to always retreat and evade, and can stay in place to carry out long-range firepower strikes with peace of mind.

Once these units are fully fired, they can cause much more damage than spider tanks.

As a result, the Tyrannosaurus Chilong was still chasing three armored brigades to the northeast, staying east of the East Madre Mountains, and other units in the north-central part of the western side of the Tehuantepec Isthmus were quickly wiped out by heavy fire. Nearly half.

At this time, the seven brigade-level combat teams behind have been scattered in the large grasslands of the northern half of the Tehuantepec Isthmus, east of the East Madre Mountains, west of the Laventa Mayan Pyramid Observatory, and the northern half of the Tehuantepec Isthmus.

However, despite being scattered, the degree of cooperation among these seven teams has not decreased much.

In fact, being able to use the method of dividing troops to bully the Lizardmen Legion is because Lu Yuan confirmed that his own real-time communication capability far exceeds that of the other party.

The performance of the on-board computer of every unit in Lu Yuan's mechanical armored unit is quite good. After all, these on-board computers actually replaced soldiers and even officers in a vehicle group at work.

A computer can at least be worth a driver, a gunner, a loader (or half, because there is an autoloader), and a commander.

With this kind of demand, both software and hardware must be heightened at the same time.

Since this level is achieved, it is not difficult to take it to the next level.

That is to turn each unit into a unit in the tactical data chain, which not only allows the command information system to be built in a distributed manner, but also allows each unit to become an information transmission unit.

To make a simple analogy, each of these armored vehicles and the fighters in the sky is not only a mobile phone connected to a wireless network, but also a wireless repeater, a wireless router, and a network provider. .

In this way, even if there are no military satellites or communication satellites in this world, as long as the distance between any two network nodes is not greater than a certain threshold, the previous connection of the entire communication network is unblocked.

Luyuan gives ground network nodes, that is, the communication equipment used by those tanks, so that the maximum communication distance between them can easily reach more than 10 kilometers in the plain unobstructed area, and even the signal within 20 kilometers will not be too severely affected. .

And this is just the ground node.

Those flying in the sky can also double this distance because of their altitude advantage.

Although air combat UAVs are more valuable at every point of weight, they did not add equipment such as signal multipliers.

But the reconnaissance drone itself needs to transmit data in real time, so every reconnaissance drone has some functions of the airborne early warning control plane to some extent.

If you still use the analogy, it is a large air communication base station, which has a much higher transmission range than a router.

Therefore, in fact, not only the seven brigade-level combat teams with artillery units remaining in the northern area of ​​the isthmus, the information communication between them is unimpeded, but also the communication with the three armored brigades that have already run to the northeast. Because there are reconnaissance drones as relays, it is also unblocked.

And this is only on the basis of only electromagnetic wave technology.

Those laser communication devices in the middle of our communication to prevent the other party from using wireless interference means have not even been activated at this time.

Although Lu Yuan’s mechanized unit was placed in Los Santos from 2013 to 2014, it is not advanced in technology except for the chassis, especially the technology on stereotyped weapons such as artillery, barrels, shells, and explosives. Still decades ago.

But his communication technology is really at an advanced level.

After all, this is a combination of the US-Canadian military technology collected at that time, plus systematic teaching, and research on electronic life forms and Isu consciousness uploading technology, and he developed his own research and development from the basics.

His attainments in this set of technologies are no worse than his level of complete production of a self-propelled artillery from scratch from the beginning of mining, and even because he is not limited to the ability of a single person to work, he is in this set of technologies. The level of attainments is even stronger.

On the other hand, the Lizardmen Legion, the command and communication system they use, in terms of ability, is also a proper high-tech if compared with the ancient army.

Even compared with the North-South Civil War in the U.S. and Qatar, or the communication capabilities during the Franco-Prussian War in Europe, it has a lot of advantages.

Because those color-feathered monitor lizards can use magic stones to transmit image data. And there is something like Teleportation Array.

Although it's more expensive, um, to be precise, it is Fei on the battlefield as an observer, as a color-feathered monitor lizard with eyes and ears, but he can still make the Rocky clone commanders in the command center of the observatory, in half an hour You can know the battlefield situation within a radius of 200 or even 300 kilometers.

This kind of communication efficiency still existed in the nineteenth century.

Unfortunately, there is no harm without comparison.

You can get the battlefield situation within 300 kilometers in half an hour, which also takes half an hour.

On the other side of the road, the information within 300 kilometers is transmitted by air relays and ground nodes. At the same time, data processing has already begun in the distributed system during the transmission.

In less than a minute, the original data can be transmitted to the current commander. At present, it is Turner, which arrived at the same time as the original data, as well as the complete report that has been analyzed and sorted out.

To make an analogy, you can also see an artillery firing. The color-feathered monitor lizard messenger from 300 kilometers away uses magic stones and teleportation arrays to fire something, where, and what time and method within half an hour. The cannon was passed to Loki's clone in the command center.

On the other hand, the information transmission from Luyuan can, within one minute, aim at where the artillery shell is, where the artillery might attack, how long the next shot will be fired, and so on. Data that needs further analysis. Show it to the commander.

Comparing the two compartments, Luyuan's advantage in communication is not generally big.
