#781 - Chapter 781 Weird Idea
"There's one more thing. Since energy cores aren't a renewable resource, I'm afraid we'll have some difficulty building a swarm squadron," Dongfang Chen added.
Every independent fighter jet, regardless of size, needs a vibrating crystal to provide energy support.
Even if we have a certain stock of vibrating crystals, we can't afford to waste them like this.
"Actually, I think this is an idea worth considering," Baili Ji said.
"Oh? Tell me," Suo Tonghua said.
"Their swarm tactics this time are fundamentally different from before," Baili Ji stated, hitting the nail on the head.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his further analysis.
"In the past, swarm tactics were simply about large numbers, without any new combat methods evolving. You could understand it as simply 1+1=2."
"But the swarm tactics that have appeared this time show group attacks and teamwork. You could understand it as 1+1=3."
"And this kind of progress can be considered an evolution."
Baili Ji's analysis was unanimously approved by everyone.
"So, what's the idea you're talking about?" Zongzheng Yue asked.
"We can also do teamwork! Two key points:"
"First, figure out the most effective way to deal with them?"
"Second, how to execute this method."
"That's right, I think that's the idea!" Suo Tonghua said, slapping the table.
"Okay, then let's talk about what kind of methods we should use to deal with them?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"It must be a range-attack weapon. Our ion weapons and laser weapons are all point-to-point damage, which is too disadvantageous when fighting them," Yan Zhengping said.
"That's right, what we lack now is a range-attack weapon," Suo Tonghua also agreed.
"How about this, I will develop several new types of weapons as soon as possible, but obviously there is not enough time now. According to their estimated flight speed, they will probably arrive on the moon within a month. If we can't completely eliminate them before then, I'm afraid the situation on the moon will be unfavorable," Dongfang Chen said.
"I have a crooked idea," Shentu Zhenghao said rarely.
"Oh? Councilor Shentu, please speak," Dongfang Chen was a little surprised.
"Didn't we seize a strange small world some time ago? If we activate the small world on their inevitable path and try to attract them in…" Shentu Zhenghao stopped there.
This was an idea. But he had just thought of it and hadn't perfected it yet.
"That's great!" Suo Tonghua's eyes lit up.
The entrance to this strange small world is one kilometer wide. If handled properly, it might really have a miraculous effect.
"But if they can fly in, they can naturally fly out. Or they might simply detour, which is not impossible," Yan Zhengping said.
The thinking of insects is different from that of humans, and their behavior is also completely different.
Humans use their eyes to identify directions and may fall into traps.
But no one knows what these miniature fighter jets rely on to identify directions.
"That's simple. Don't we have planetary-class space battleships? Just project the entrance of the small world onto the hull of the battleship. As long as we pilot the battleship in the opposite direction of their marching direction, wouldn't we be able to scoop them all in?" Suo Tonghua said.
"I think it's possible," Yan Zhengping pondered for a moment.
It really is a useful crooked idea.
The flight speed of a planetary-class spaceship is extremely fast. Opening the entrance on it is equivalent to making a net.
Scooping along their marching route might catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Okay, then let's try it," Dongfang Chen thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
It's just wasting some time, there's no cost and no risk.
After the meeting, Dongfang Chen authorized a planetary-class attack ship to Baili Ji and parked it in Blue Star orbit.
Baili Ji was left to handle the rest.
Afterward, he began to develop range-attack weapons.
If he could find a weapon type that was cheap to manufacture or had a short production cycle, he might be able to intercept those miniature fighter jet swarms before they reached the moon.
After all, the crooked idea proposed by Shentu Zhenghao had the possibility of failure.
Dongfang Chen's first idea was to imitate the opponent's foam glue weapon.
However, those miniature fighter jets were too small and could not be activated by collision.
The only feasible way was to detonate them.
So, the plan was immediately available.
A layer of highly compressed foam glue stock solution can be wrapped on the outside of the bomb, and then the bomb will project it out at the moment of explosion.
The ejected liquid will solidify in the process of splashing, and will solidify a certain range of space.
All the fighters in this space will be completely sealed in foam glue.
Dongfang Chen asked Xiaolin to simulate it several times with the supercomputing center according to this idea, and finally obtained the most optimized formula and structure.
