Chapter 1739 justice will win
World War II is a catalyst for advanced technology, especially radar.
Before World War II, radar was just a concept, but after the end of World War II, various radars were able to achieve a complete practical combat state.
For radar, the most critical component is the magnetron, which is a special vacuum tube that can release electromagnetic waves from it. Yes, it is the component that emits electromagnetic waves. Without it, there will be no radar.
Historically, magnetrons were found in 1921, but multi-cavity high-energy magnetrons were not invented by Landell and Butt of the University of Birmingham, England until 1939.
Radar waves have different wavelengths and frequencies. For example, in later generations, in order to reverse stealth aircraft, meter wave radars were used. The longer the wavelength, the easier it was to radiate energy and had a longer detection distance.
However, its accuracy is not enough. To better improve resolution, it is necessary to reduce the wavelength of the radar. This is the use of multi-cavity high-energy magnetron. It enables the radar to work in the microwave band with a larger pulse intensity. It improves the target's comprehensive resolution accuracy, azimuth accuracy and distance accuracy, makes the antenna smaller in size and higher performance, makes the sea surface and terrain interference clutter better detects, makes the pulse width reach microseconds, shortens the minimum detection distance from half a mile to several hundred yards, makes the interceptor's gun can be completely controlled by the radar, and makes the bulky antenna smaller to be placed in the wing or bomb-sized pods.
After talking for a long time, ordinary carrier-based radars can only know that the enemy plane is in a certain airspace, but the specific location is unclear and it cannot guide the naval gun to intercept. However, this new fire control radar perfectly achieves the purpose of the fire control radar due to the improvement of accuracy. It can guide the anti-aircraft guns, perfectly turn to the target position, and then open fire!
Germany's previous radar was mainly developed by magnetrons introduced from island countries. After conquering Britain, this multi-cavity high-energy magnetron technology was also obtained by Germany. Later, based on this magnetron, Germany developed the first gun aiming radar.
Now, this radar is installed on the Luzov, and is used to control the dual-equipped 88mm anti-aircraft gun. After receiving the order, the radar that had been preheated was immediately turned on. The 2,900 megahertz radar wave instantly scanned the cloud.
The clouds formed by condensation of water vapor cannot block electromagnetic waves. Only the aluminum skin of the fighter can clearly reflect these echoes. Now, with the echoes one by one, it accurately flashes on the screen of the fire-controlled radar.
Then, the radar soldiers began to report quickly: "The height is 2,500, the azimuth is 0-3-6, the elevation angle is 75 degrees, 3 minutes and 2 seconds, and the distance is 3,000. Please calibrate the shooting elements immediately."
If the radar automatically controls the anti-aircraft gun, it is still impossible to do it. The current gun fire-seeking radar can automatically calculate the target's azimuth, elevation angle, distance and altitude based on the detected target data, which is already quite efficient.
While the radar continued to automatically track the target, the gunners were turning the steering wheel quickly in the anti-aircraft gun position, and the anti-aircraft gun made fine adjustments. Then, balls of fireballs emerged from the muzzle.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, suddenly, a huge wave slammed the hull of the Luzov. As the hull swayed, the muzzle also shook and fell off.
On warships, the base of the naval gun will shake with the hull, so that the naval gun will deviate when firing. In order to prevent shooting errors, on the Bismarck, the 105mm naval gun is equipped with a three-axis self-stabilizing platform. No matter how the hull shakes, the naval gun stands tall, which shows the strength of this naval gun.
However, there is no such equipment on the Luzov.
The slight shaking of the cannon body will cause a major deviation of the cannon shell. At this time, in the control room of the fire control radar, the radar soldier shouted loudly: "Quick, lower the elevation angle immediately, it will rush down!"
Even without the use of fire control radar, other anti-aircraft artillery soldiers captured this American pirate fighter with their naked eyes. At this time, it suddenly emerged from the clouds and began to dive down with a rapid and terrifying momentum. Its target was the USS Munich aircraft carrier in the formation!
Open fire, open fire!
More than a dozen warships escorted around them turned their anti-aircraft artillery over. The 40mm, 88mm, and 105mm anti-aircraft artillery shells were constantly scattering into the sky, covering the entire target's airspace.
If you want to dive, you have to pass through this terrible barrage, which is simply seeking death.
At this time, Roy did not retreat. He felt his plane trembling in the explosion of anti-aircraft shells and the roar of countless shells. Roy continued to dive down and dive.
"Boom!" An 88mm shell exploded at a distance of almost a few meters from his plane. Countless fragments hit his plane. Suddenly, black smoke emerged from the engine in front, and flames rushed out.
There were also several shots on the body of the fuselage. In the cockpit, Roy felt as if his thigh was bitten.
Roy was injured.
The smoke in the nose in front became heavier and heavier, and Roy's eyes were full of determination. Below, the aircraft carrier was becoming clearer and clearer.
"Justice will win!" Roy shouted in the radio, with a noisy sound inside, which was his companions still continuing to fight. For him, this was a war of justice. Germany's attempt to rule the whole world would inevitably end in failure.
The pirate fighter with thick smoke continued to dive down. Below, the USS Munich aircraft carrier was also anxious. The captain issued an instruction to the left full rudder, trying to avoid the fire-riding fighter.
The captain's eyes were filled with admiration. The pilot of the fighter jet had already dived with the belief of decisive death. In order to attack, the other party would rather sacrifice his life.
Well, it is absolutely worth it to exchange his life for an aircraft carrier!
"Bang, boom!" At this moment, the roaring 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft gun shell landed on its body. The shell tore the rear of the fuselage and hit the fuel tank. The entire plane suddenly exploded in the air.
The anti-aircraft artillery cheered in an instant.
Great, hit!
The pirate fighter that was blown up was burning in the air. It was still diving down along its original trajectory. It was already an empty sea area. Then, it plunged into the sea.
Chapter completed!
