Chapter 526 Sonic Weapons and Air Superiority Fighters
With the addition of the Reincarnators, the battle on the Wakanda border is becoming more chaotic.
The spellcasters from the Zero Realm Guild and the Fifth Dimension began to cast spells at each other. For a moment, fireballs flew everywhere, frost splashed, and all kinds of supernatural visions frequently emerged.
As more and more Kang's troops were deployed to the ground battlefield, the entire front line became jagged and inevitably began to squeeze towards the capital, Berning Zana.
Up to now, Fu Qinghai has not sent any ground troops other than the Reincarnationists to participate in the war. Apart from some companies that need to stay in North America, more are because he is worried that the Conqueror Kang will become angry and order an indiscriminate orbital bombing strike - the Space Marines cannot die with the enemy, so only the Xiaolong Brigade was sent out.
Therefore, the pressure faced by the Wakandans can be imagined. Although the Vibranium armor is invulnerable to swords and guns, the wearer of the armor will eventually run out of strength. Even the elite female warriors of the Dora Guard, who are one in a million, still suffered heavy losses when facing the powerful, laser-firing, and flying Sentinel robots. The members of the Dora Guard fell one after another.
Black Panther wailed in pain while holding the body of the captain of the personal guards.
I deeply regret my conservative decision.
He raised his head and slowly looked around the battlefield.
Black Panther seemed to have made up his mind and raised his wrist.
He said to the Chimoyu beads on his wrist:
"Chief Carter, I need your help."
"Isn't that four-armed mecha giant enough?"
Sharon Carter's voice rang out in the metal beads.
"I know that master hasn't used his full strength yet. The PRIDE agents have seen his true strength."
Black Panther's voice was bitter:
"I need you to save my country, Sharon, for Steve Rogers' sake."
PRIDE is Wakanda's intelligence agency. Wakanda, a closed-off country, needs such an agency to observe the international situation and crack down on illegal vibranium trade on the international black market.
Black Panther brought out Captain America, and there is indeed a deep friendship between T'Challa and Rogers. Sharon Carter, as Captain America's junior, is of course well aware of this.
Wakanda was founded on vibranium. It is precisely because it has the exclusive rights to mine and develop vibranium that it can maintain its transcendent position in the international arena. As King T'Challa, he certainly understands this.
He knew even more clearly that there was no free lunch in the world. Even if that adult was willing to help, he could not have asked for anything else. The only thing that Wakanda could be remembered by others was vibranium.
But let alone losing the vibranium, even sharing the vibranium with others would cause the kingdom to lose its current independent status. King T'Challa does not want to make such a decision unless it is absolutely necessary.
There was silence on Sharon Carter's end for a few seconds.
"I'm sorry I can't make the decision on this matter, Your Majesty. I can only convey your intention to him."
Sharon Carter said apologetically.
"I await your reply."
The black panther took a step forward and leaped high.
Then he punched the ground hard.
A circle of purple transparent hemisphere exploded.
A group of black-armored soldiers flew up.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qingshan asks you..."
Sharon Carter said slowly:
"Is vibranium more important, or are people more important?"
The history of Wakanda's rise is inseparable from Vibranium. It is because of Vibranium that Wakanda exists. However, what kind of country is a country without people?
For a monarch, any kind of mineral resources cannot be compared with the people. This is also true for those people in oil-rich countries.
"Tell that gentleman to use all his strength."
Black Panther panted and whispered,
"I'm willing to pay any price."
…
A giant projection of Kang strode toward his son.
The ghostly Space Marine had vanished.
Only a broken body was left at the scene.
"What's going on!"
Kang's projection roared loudly and asked:
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
In the midst of thousands of troops, under everyone's watchful eyes.
Marcus Kahn was stabbed to death?
Kang's projection slowly shrank into a human form. He knelt on one knee and held up his son's body. He stared in disbelief. The enemy attacked from so close, and the antimatter defense screen generator on Marcus didn't even start! Could it be that among so many guards, no one saw the assassin?
However, no one could answer his question.
Because those elite guards were also dead.
"grown ups!"
The men around him reminded loudly.
Kang the Conqueror looked up.
The four-armed mecha in the distance is striding towards us.
The Wakandan army still shows no signs of collapse.
"Get him back to base."
Kang the Conqueror whispered:
"Don't let the enemy insult his remains any longer."
"Understood, sir."
Several men quickly lifted up Marcus' body.
A shuttle quickly landed beside them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The four-armed Titan stepped on the ground and it shook continuously.
Kang the Conqueror activates the "Vibration Ray" projector.
The gigantic holographic projection appeared again.
Conqueror Kang roared and rushed towards the "Pojun Jinjia".
In the sky, fierce air battles continued.
The Wakandans have a vertical take-off and landing fighter that is between a helicopter and a fighter jet. It looks like a elytra and is also equipped with Wakanda's unique sonic cannon.
The Wakandans certainly also have long-range weapons. They do not use traditional live ammunition weapons, but use sonic weapons as their main long-range weapons, such as sonic guns and sonic cannons.
In addition to Vibranium technology, this is another unique technology possessed by the Wakanda people. Sonic weapons use the air that is everywhere on the earth as a transmission medium.
According to the supplementary information in the Black Panther film series, a sonic cannon as big as a shoulder-fired rocket launcher can easily paralyze a main battle tank with one shot.
According to Fu Qinghai's observation, the biggest advantage of this sonic weapon is its strong penetrating ability, especially when facing fortifications and heavily armored units. It can even penetrate several meters thick concrete walls and directly kill organic targets behind them.
The biggest disadvantage of this weapon is that it is slower than live ammunition weapons. A simple physics knowledge: the speed of sound propagation is only related to the material and temperature of the medium, and has nothing to do with the energy contained in the sound itself.
In other words, as long as the wind speed and temperature in the battlefield environment are relatively constant, the speed of the sonic projectile is fixed, and no matter how the transmission power is increased, it will remain at this speed, the speed of sound.
Live ammunition weapons can easily break the speed of sound by increasing the propellant charge. Any type of plasma weapon is faster than the speed of sound, not to mention laser weapons which are close to the speed of light.
Of course, the speed of sound in air is fast enough.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The average speed of sound in the Earth's atmosphere is 340 m/s.
Most targets cannot avoid the sound.
The Wakanda fighter is obviously a multi-functional fighter, with vertical take-off and landing, flexible turning, and unmanned remote control, but it is definitely not fast. Although the sonic weapons are extremely powerful and have strong penetration, the small number of air force units are unable to cope with the shuttles and landing craft that cover the sky, and are soon shot down one by one by the more flexible Sentinel robots.
Several more Wakandan fighter planes joined the battlefield, quickly rising into the sky and flying towards the shuttles and landing craft that were taking off and landing to deploy troops. Several transparent sonic "shells" were fired continuously, and the shuttles and landing craft turned into fireballs and exploded in the air, but then sentry robots flew over to escort them.
Three Sentinel robots spewed ion flames from their feet and chased a Wakanda fighter in the sky, constantly using laser shooting to burn the fighter's shell, and then dispersed to squeeze the fighter's evasive space. One of the Sentinel robots suddenly accelerated and pounced on the Wakanda fighter that was lying dead outside, punched through the one-way glass cover, and tore open the side of the cabin with its hand.
The cockpit was found empty.
This is an unmanned fighter jet.
The sentry robot immediately reported the situation.
In orbital space, the Damocles Base slowly changed direction, with the tip of its sword pointing in a certain direction, shooting out a red laser and disappearing into the atmosphere.
Wakanda's capital, Berning Zana, a futuristic modern metropolis, is suddenly hit by orbital bombardment, and scarlet world-destroying lasers descend on the top of the buildings.
The entire glass curtain wall building shattered, collapsing along with several surrounding buildings. The giant laser column moved sideways and swept across several streets, and everything turned into a sea of fire.
This includes the air force base.
Then no more fighter planes came to support the battlefield.
A shuttle carrying Marcus's body soared up, and more than a dozen sentinel robots surrounded the shuttle, escorting it into space. Suddenly, a group of black dots appeared in the sky above, followed by a swooping, breaking through the air, and a group of new black-and-gold painted fighters appeared!
The red light fell like a violent storm.
The twin laser cannons spewed out dense laser beams.
The robots fell down one after another.
"Zizizi... Watch out, feint attack."
A low voice sounded in the communication channel:
"Don't actually shoot down that shuttle."
"Swoosh—"
The Jianwei-class interceptors separated like flowers from the sky.
Then there was another beautiful maneuver and tail-swing climb.
"My lord, the enemy is trying to intercept the remains of His Highness!"
A cry of surprise was heard in Kang's communication channel.
Conqueror Kang pushed away the "Golden Armor of Broken Army" and said,
"Then protect him well!"
On the ground battlefield, the Sentinel robots, as the main backbone, were ruthlessly beating up the Wakandan soldiers, turning their heads and emitting laser beams. Suddenly, as if they had received some kind of collective order, they stopped fighting and put down their work. They didn't care about the half-dead Wakandans who were being beaten to a pulp and stood up straight, spewing out large clouds of flames and dust from the soles of their feet, and rushed straight into the sky. Suddenly, a group of rockets rose up on the battlefield.
"call out--"
The Swordtail-class interceptor dived down in a barrel roll.
Scorching scarlet lasers crisscrossed the sky.
The sentry robots rained down.
The pilot of the interceptor was showing off his skills, diving and firing at the ground but refusing to slow down at all, and just when it was about to hit the ground and kill everyone on board, he suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane. The powerful maneuverability of the Swordtail-class interceptor allowed it to complete a "U" turn neatly, and the huge wind pressure air mass instantly hit the ground. Both the Wakandans and Kang's soldiers were pinned to the ground by the strong wind, and a lot of broken limbs, guns and armor flew into the air.
"Hehe…"
The White Scars pilot let out a mocking laugh.
He raised his hand and turned the first few knobs on the dashboard.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The Swordtail rotary missile launcher was exposed under the belly of the aircraft, and the rotary magazine-style launch mechanism quickly fired a bunch of air-to-air missiles - an advanced projectile equipped with cluster warheads and built-in tracking scanning equipment. The Thinker system of the Swordtail-class interceptor automatically assigned targets, and the missiles scattered and flew towards the shuttles and landing craft, and then these huge and slow-moving flying vehicles turned into balls of fire.
Massacre, a completely one-sided massacre.
The Suzheng carrier-based aircraft squadron made its debut.
It resulted in a brutal and efficient annihilation.
What is an "air superiority fighter"?
In fact, looking at the entire history of military development, many multi-functional and multi-purpose fighter jets were developed by major countries to fight asymmetric wars against small countries. They are often the result of compromises based on comprehensive indicators such as manufacturing cost, maintenance cost, and parts commonality. In the confrontation between major countries, special fighter jets have to be used - air combat is air combat, bombing is bombing, and the use of one aircraft for multiple purposes means that it is impossible to reach the ultimate.
The Swordtail-class interceptor is simply too fast.
The sentry robot couldn't even catch up with the exhaust.
Since you are acting, you have to play it to the end.
Fu Qinghai deliberately ordered the Xiaolong Squadron to pretend to intercept the shuttle carrying Marcus Kang, causing the Sentinel robots to take off and escort it. They were then shot down in large numbers by the Swordtail-class interceptors. After paying a huge price, the shaky shuttle finally returned to the Damocles Base successfully, preventing Marcus' body from exploding into a fireball.
The Xiaolong squadron came and went quickly. After making a show and shooting down a large number of shuttles, landing craft and sentry robots, they returned directly to the Suzheng battleship - because their ammunition load had been completely used up and there was not much fuel left in the tank. They had extremely high flying speed and strong maneuverability, but they had a small ammunition load and a short range. This was the characteristic of the Jianwei-class interceptor.
Some interceptor pilots with wild and flamboyant personalities, after firing all the laser missiles, even wanted to imitate the "Barents Sea Scalpel" stunt, using the wings on both sides to hit and cut the enemy's shuttles and landing craft, but were firmly stopped by Qingshan Khan - the parts of the Swordtail-class interceptor are expensive and the maintenance cost is very high, and this operation is completely not worth the cost.
Fu Qinghai raised his head.
Watch the shuttle disappear into the sky.
I thought to myself: The real show is about to begin.
......
1. In the tabletop rules, the sword tail has a skill called "jink", which seems to mean that the dice must be rolled twice to successfully hit the sword tail when attacking with other weapons.
