Chapter 223 Advantages and Disadvantages
Among the various shortcomings of magnetic vision.
One of the most serious problems.
There is a problem with the perspective of magnetic visual cells. After all, the earth has a curvature, and coupled with terrain barriers, it is difficult to monitor long-distance low-altitude areas and the ground and sea surfaces.
In addition, there is a stacking phenomenon in the magnetic field perspective. As the distance increases, the stacking phenomenon will become more serious, which will interfere with the recognition accuracy .
Based on data such as the Pythagorean theorem, the curvature of the earth, and the radius of the earth, Li Qingye has calculated the maximum monitoring distance of magnetic field vision.
If the monitoring station is set up at an altitude of about one hundred meters, it can monitor the ground and low-altitude areas within a radius of 30 kilometers.
However, medium and high altitudes and outer space can extend infinitely.
The factor that limits the observation distance of magnetic field vision in medium and high altitudes and outer space is actually the supercomputer's ability to analyze magnetic field layering phenomena.
According to the data from hundreds of previous medium and high altitude tests.
Using the most powerful supercomputer currently available (with a floating-point computing power of 200 trillion revolutions per second) and the most comprehensive magnetic field layer analysis technology, it is possible to analyze changes in magnetic field information within a range of up to 360 million kilometers.
Of course, the maximum distance of 360 million kilometers is actually not practical for current human warfare needs. It can only be used for scientific research in astronomical projects.
The actual practical monitoring distance is within 30 kilometers on the ground and ultra-low altitude, within 5,000 kilometers at medium and high altitude, and within 36,000 kilometers in outer space.
In order to make up for the insufficient monitoring distance of the magnetic field vision system on the ground and ultra-low altitude, Li Qingye also specially developed a curvature viewing angle compensation system.
The so-called curvature perspective compensation system uses the property that magnetic field fluctuations will generate magnetic flux lines in all directions, combined with the brute force analysis of supercomputers, to lock onto moving targets hidden under the curvature of the earth.
Through this technology, it is possible to lock onto ultra-low altitude, ground and water moving targets within a radius of 300 kilometers.
Of course, if the magnetic field visual monitoring station can be deployed in high-altitude areas, the monitoring range of ultra-low altitude, ground and water surface will be further expanded.
For example, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, ultra-low-altitude targets within 100 kilometers can be directly observed. After using the curvature compensation system, it can be increased to within 1,000 kilometers.
For Luzon Islands.
It is very necessary to find some high-altitude areas and set up magnetic field visual monitoring stations.
In this way, even if America intends to use drones or fighter jets to raid the Luzon Islands through ultra-low-altitude raids, as long as the enemy aircraft enters a range of one thousand kilometers, they will inevitably be detected.
If the intensity of monitoring needs to be further enhanced, Li Qingye has also thought of a strengthening plan.
That is to use an airship, equip it with magnetic field visual monitoring equipment , and float it in the stratosphere above the Luzon Islands.
When observing the ground from the stratosphere, the impact of the earth's curvature will be minimized, and the ultra-low altitude direct observation range can reach a radius of about 700 to 800 kilometers. With the addition of a curvature compensation system, it will be increased to a limit of 2100 to 2400 kilometers.
Another enhancement option is to install magnetic field monitoring equipment on submarines.
Magnetic field monitoring equipment is very similar to passive sonar. It does not need to emit electromagnetic waves to monitor changes in the surrounding magnetic field.
Submarines carry magnetic field monitoring equipment, which can further expand the alert range of the Luzon Islands.
Or installing magnetic field monitoring equipment on large aircraft would fall into the category of early warning aircraft.
With this technology, the shortcomings of the Sapiens company in radar monitoring have been made up.
Li Qingye was busy in this research institute all day.
The precision of magnetic field vision depends on the computing power of the supercomputer on the one hand, and on the work that Li Qingye is currently doing - the combination of magnetic sensitive proteins in magnetic field vision cells on the other.
The magnetic field vision of birds and insects has certain limitations, which is related to their needs.
After all, as naturally evolved creatures, birds and insects do not need a magnetic field visual range of more than several hundred kilometers, which is also to reduce the burden on their brain cells.
The magnetic field radar that Sapiens needs obviously needs to have long-distance beyond-visual-range vision.
Li Qingye and his assistants continue to combine new genetically modified magnetic field visual cells and select some excellent samples from them.
The higher the accuracy, the more subtle the detected magnetic field fluctuations will be, and the more accurate the target can be monitored.
Currently, among the hundreds of types of magnetic field visual cells, the one with the highest accuracy can see the magnetic field fluctuations generated by a coin-sized object when it moves, but the effective distance of this accuracy is only 7.2 kilometers.
The magnetic field radar produced by magnetic field vision cells has extremely high accuracy for various moving targets and metal targets.
This is because man-made products such as metal fighter planes and warships contain a large amount of metal components, and the magnetic field fluctuations are very obvious.
Especially in the sky and ocean where the ambient magnetic field is relatively monotonous, within the monitoring range of the magnetic field radar, as long as the fighter planes and warships move, the magnetic field radar will immediately lock their position.
Even a submarine on the seabed cannot hide from a large magnetic field radar at a high altitude as long as it gets within about 150 kilometers.
What's more, the Sapiens company has now secretly deployed a large number of submarine optical cables and monitoring nodes on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean and the Ceylon Ocean.
As time goes by, it will only become more and more difficult to infiltrate the area controlled by the Homo Sapiens company.
Li Qingye did not deliberately pursue perfection, and now the first generation of magnetic field radars have been secretly equipped one after another.
It was not until the evening that he took the time during dinner to check on the development of Feiyu Company and Aoba Airlines.
Feiyu Company's various drone technologies are developing very rapidly. It has currently developed more than 20 models of drones and 4 practical cruise missiles.
He flipped through the internal documents on the tablet.
Feiyu Company did not follow the same route of launch vehicles and intercontinental missiles as Aoba Aviation, but continued to delve deeper into the fields of drones and cruise missiles.
Currently, Paul and Fang Bo have set up a new project - the Osprey cruise missile.
In fact, this project is very simple. Based on the Eagle fighter, it improves the aerodynamic layout, adds an automatic driving module, and then converts part of the payload into a built-in aviation kerosene tank, leaving only about 1 ton of bomb load.
After the magical modification, the Eagle fighter was transformed into an Osprey cruise missile with a maximum range of 12,000 kilometers and a payload of 1 ton.
Li Qingye saw what Fang Bai and others were thinking at a glance.
Obviously, through this kind of transformation, the Sapiens company can obtain a practical intercontinental missile in the shortest time.
The 1-ton payload is obviously intended for the B43 hydrogen bomb warhead.
Aoba Aviation's launch vehicles and intercontinental missiles are planned to use liquid oxygen-methane engines with crystal sponge liner as the core.
Although Aoba Aviation has "borrowed" a lot of technology from America and Russia through the Field Affairs Department, it is still in a difficult situation as it is designing a liquid oxygen-methane engine for the first time.
Judging from Aoba Aviation’s recent scientific research log, the liquid oxygen-methane engine will have to wait until at least the second half of 2022 before the prototype can be improved and finalized.
Therefore, the compromise plan of Flying Fish Company is very important to Sapiens Company, as it has at least obtained intercontinental-level strategic delivery capabilities in a short period of time.
