Chapter 3011: Magic Proximity Fuze

The three HNA teams were ready in just 20 minutes, including an team and two bombing teams carrying heavy cluster bombs. A total of more than 300 giant crow aviation troops, braved the wind and rain, spread their wings and soared into the air like a piece of land. Dark clouds drifted over the opposite Far East Fleet.
The air force of the Far East has a total strength that exceeds that of Feizhen. In addition to the three Great Eagle Wings based on warships, there is also the Canaan Blue Sky Knights that came to support from the Continental Army positions.
According to the planned combat plan, the blue sky knights riding the Pegasus will provide for the Far East Giant Eagle bombing team, and jointly launch an air attack on the Fijian naval fleet.
Reluctantly, Tiangong was not beautiful, and the sudden escalation of the storm severely hindered Tianma's flight speed, and he could not rush to the fighting sea area according to the scheduled time.
The giant crow aviation unit of the Feizhen side, naturally attached to a waterproof and moisturizing oily film on the surface of the wings, was almost immune to the influence of bad weather, and launched the first wave of air strikes.
The giant eagles of the Far East mainly live on coasts and islands. They have been trained to fight in storms and are barely able to fight against the giant crows.
However, contrary to General William Howe's expectation, Lord Helena did not order the carrier's aviation forces to rise to the air, but only reminded the ships under his command to guard against air attacks, allowing the crows to fly over him without hindrance.
All the main battleships of the Far East Navy sounded the air defense alarm, and the navigator teamed up to cast spells, creating a thick fog and shielding the sky above the ships.
The giant crow bombers hovering over the fleet all have rich practical experience. They found that their vision was blocked by the white fog and did not drop bombs blindly. Under the command of the captain, they collectively activated the "wind-making" attached to the magic collar of the neck. "Technology", converged into a strong storm.
This operation helped the giant crows temporarily clear their vision, but it also made them inadvertently glimpse the figure of death.
As soon as the fog was blown away by the air currents, all the Far East warships made rapid artillery sounds, the anti-aircraft turrets fired into the sky, and countless flashing bullets swayed and swept through the air, intertwined into a deadly skynet.
Just in a flash, there were no fewer than forty giant crows that had not had time to carry out the dive bombing mission and were swept by the machine guns, bursting into groups of fireworks in the volley.
When the giant crow in the sky saw his companions shot down, they were all horrified, and the same questions popped up in their minds.
How can the anti-aircraft guns of the Far Easterners be so accurate?
The giant crows are at a height of a thousand yards above the sea. Coupled with the effects of waves, wind, rain, fog, and gun smoke, it is harder for the anti-aircraft fire from warships to hit them than it is for naval guns to accurately hit enemy ships ten miles away. It is said that most anti-aircraft shells will miss, but the reality is that the hit rate of the anti-aircraft turret is surprisingly high, which is obviously very abnormal!
"Father, have you noticed that many of the giant crows above the Far East Fleet were not hit by the anti-aircraft shells, but they were still beaten to pieces, as if the shells had eyes, and they hadn’t waited to get close to the giant crows? It exploded on its own."
Inanna stared at the photo mirror, where the giant crow was strafed by the anti-aircraft gun, which aroused her curiosity.
"Inanna, your eyes are very sharp and you are observing very carefully. Your Majesty Roland told me in private that the anti-aircraft turret equipped by the Far East battleship is equipped with a'magic proximity fuze' for every shell it fires. There is no need to hit directly, it will automatically explode within 20 yards of the target, and kill the enemy with high-speed shrapnel."
The core technology of "Magic Proximity Fuze" is actually very simple, that is, the 1st ring spell "Magic Alert".
The anti-aircraft shells equipped with this special fuze will automatically activate the "magic alarm" after launching to detect abnormal air currents or noises caused by flying creatures within 20 yards of the surrounding area, and immediately feed back the echo to the projectile body, thereby triggering the fuze to explode on its own. The high-speed metal fragments sputtered after the fragmentation of the projectile is used to effectively kill the aviation troops lacking heavy armor protection.
After listening to Qiao An's explanation of the working principle of the "Magic Proximity Fuze", Inanna thoughtfully said: "In this way, the giant crow can avoid triggering the proximity fuze by reducing the intensity of the airflow generated during flight."
Qiao An nodded approvingly and said to her daughter: "In fact, the Far Eastern Academy of Military Sciences has adopted this approach to develop a device to counter the'proximity fuze'. In short, it is to attach 2 rings to the collar. 'Silence', the giant eagle performing a bombing mission wears this kind of collar, flies over the enemy's position or the warship, opens the silence enchantment, and can suppress the airflow and sound generated during the flight so that the'magic alarm' cannot be recognized. The limit to avoid detonating the'proximity fuze'."
"It doesn't sound difficult. Fortunately, Real Fei hasn't thought of this layer, and the collar of the Giant Crow Aviation is not enchanted with ‘silence’." Inana said happily.
"Military technology is constantly improving in the game of restriction and counter-control. Any secret weapon cannot be kept secret forever. As long as it is publicly displayed on the battlefield, it will be cracked sooner or later."
"In fact, the'proximity fuze' technology was used in the war that broke out between the Far East and the Holy Ashen Empire. Now, after three years, the Feizhen Kingdom has not cracked and countered this technology that the Far Easterners had mastered. , This is definitely not a technological gap. I can only think that the ruling class of the "Sun Never Set Empire" is too arrogant, and at all does not regard the emerging Kolas Empire as a potential opponent worthy of attention."
Qiao An touched the mirror and adjusted the viewing angle so that Inanna could see the fire-snake-jetting anti-aircraft turret on the Far Eastern warship.
"Even if Real Fei has learned a lesson after suffering this time, enchanting'silence' on the collar of the giant crow will not change the situation of being killed by the air defense turret of the Far East."
"My father, why is this?" Inanna asked in surprise.
"If we set the use of the'proximity fuze' to prevent air strikes as the first layer of the game between the offensive and defensive parties, and the use of'silence' to counteract the'proximity fuze' as the second layer, the current Fiji Navy even has the first layer. I haven't touched it yet, but the Far East military has already considered the third layer."
Qiao An smiled and whispered to her adopted daughter: "During my visit to Colasburg University last spring, I was commissioned by His Majesty Roland to cooperate with the Far East Academy of Military and Technical Sciences. The main task was to improve the floating space of the Wing Cavalry. In addition to the module, it also helped the Academy of Military Sciences to optimize the'proximity fuze', adding a heat source detection function to the'magic alarm'."
"The anti-aircraft turret you see now uses the first-generation'proximity fuze', but the second-generation'proximity fuze' is also stocked on the warship-even in a completely quiet environment, the surrounding area can be detected. The heat radiated by the enemy within 20 yards then detonated the shells."
