Chapter 281 Fountain Clock
If it is easy to understand solid-state fuel and laser point-explosion air, there is something that is necessary for a satellite global positioning system. Scientists of this era will never understand that the time of a satellite rotating at high speed in a synchronous satellite orbit is passing slowly than on Earth! Therefore, when calculating positions with three satellites, the Lorentz transformation is required to correct the time.
The core algorithm of this work can only be done by Tang Ning himself, and the accuracy of the clock is quite strict at such a long distance. Atomic clocks that are more accurate than quartz clocks must be used. The frequency of electromagnetic waves emitted by electrons inside atoms during transitions is fixed, and the error can reach one million years per second. This is the core principle of the atomic clock.
The electromagnetic waves released by the electron transition of cesium atoms happen to be the broadcast communication frequency band and are easy to deal with, so cesium atoms are suitable for the first generation of atomic clocks. In order to capture the frequency of cesium electromagnetic waves, it is necessary to have the ability to generate a series of electromagnetic waves with very close frequencies, and then use means to approach the frequency of cesium electromagnetic waves.
This method is the resonance of electromagnetic waves. When gaseous cesium atoms are excited by electromagnetic waves with the same frequency, most atoms will jump. At this time, the mass of cesium atoms will shine brightly, which is considered to capture its frequency.
In order to obtain a ball of cesium atoms, an infrared laser beam must be used. When two pairs of horizontal and vertical pairs of six laser beams gather, the cesium atoms heated to the gaseous state can be gathered into a ball. At this time, the laser at the bottom begins to push up the cesium atoms about one meter away, so that it passes through an electromagnetic wave radiation cavity of a certain frequency. After the laser pushes up, the cesium sphere will fall down under the action of gravity. There is a laser detector under the radiation cavity to detect whether the cesium atom group is fluorescent.
It is almost impossible to get the frequency of fluorescence of cesium atoms at the beginning, so the general process of this fountain needs to be repeated many times.
The global positioning satellite program requires solid-state rockets, laser thrusters and cesium atomic clocks to move forward simultaneously. This may be the busiest moment of Downing in recent years. The Windsor consortium mobilized 300 top engineers and scientists worldwide with annual salary of over 1,000 pounds, while the supporting technical workers exceeded 3,000. Everyone is busy, but most people don’t know what they are doing and what role they are in the war.
During this period, the Southerners found that they were about to make a fortune because the East Indian Navy began to block all the ports in the north. The US Navy worked hard to make a stronger effort, but it did not dare to compete with the world's number one EIC, all hidden in the inland river as a turtle.
Therefore, a large amount of supplies could only be imported and exported through ports in the south, and a small amount passed through Canada. The prices in the north were high and the people complained. However, as the descendant of the British who could defeat the most powerful ancient Roman grain collection army in the world at that time, the Americans were very united, and they also complained about Windsor imperialism.
The Western Front battlefield, which had been reconnaissance for a long time, finally started to fight. The Eic Air Force, as the main force of the battlefield, dispatched heavy bombers equipped with rotors under the cover of escort attack helicopters, and bombed the US military bases in Montana, Idaho and Nevada.
The U.S. generals found that these bombings from a height of 3,000 meters were quite accurate, and almost every bomb could be thrown on the building. They were quite shocked that the other side's pilot training was so in place? Of course not, even a well-trained pilot could not do this. This result was actually that the fully automatic bomb drop system was working. Since the mechanical computer and vacuum tube computer were replaced by 1629cpu, the accuracy of the bomb drop system was far greater than that of the little boy in Hong Xiuquan's bombing.
The US military quietly deployed the air force in a military center in Nevada. They once wanted to sneak attack and bomb airships, but their dreams were shattered. EIC's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft were equipped with a secret radar early warning system. Each bombing had a "early warning aircraft" as a leader, so they discovered a small group of sneak attack troops from the US Air Force early.
The escort attack helicopter suddenly turned to the raid squad to welcome the US Air Force. The black contractor Gatling machine cannon fired wildly at the squad under the braking of the automatic fire control system. The US helicopter, which was insufficiently armored due to insufficient power, was slaughtered. They made their first appearance and fell like meteors.
Helicopters are different from fixed wings. Pilots do not have the function of parachuting because the rotor will easily break their dream of survival. Unless it is a helicopter of the Windsor Legion that has designed a rotor separation mechanism regardless of cost, NATO countries have no strength to do such complex things.
So the first air battle in Nevada was extremely tragic for the Americans, and Lincoln didn't even dare to tell the American people what happened. The first wave of the air force on the Western Front was slaughtered, and air supremacy was overwhelmingly taken away by the EIC Air Force.
When the US military summarized the lessons of failure, it was found that electromagnetic waves were constantly scanning their planes. At this time, they still did not know the existence of the radar, and believed that this might be the enemy who found them through radio telegrams, and required that radio silence be strictly implemented before attacking in the future.
The German regiment on the Eastern Front was eager to show its existence. General Feng, a military nobleman, was in charge of command. He formulated a landing plan. He deserved to be a thoughtful German general, and his real intention was to land in Portland, the largest city in Maine.
This is a special place. Just two years ago, when celebrating Independence Day, a funny guy excitedly lit the entire city. Portland's commercial center and hundreds of families were burned out, and tens of thousands of people were homeless. It was an idle international natural disaster rescue organization that helped them rebuild their homes as soon as possible. Zurich Bank immediately provided interest-free loans to the victims. Now Portland's houses are basically made from Japanese Monolith Construction Company or Silent Construction Company.
If there is another city in the northern United States that is friendly to the Windsor consortium, it must be Portland, Maine. However, the cunning General Feng planned a plan to attack Philadelphia. If the US military was trapped and moved heavy troops south, there would be no pressure when the German regiment landed in Portland.
Philadelphia is located in the middle of Washington, DC and New York. If Philadelphia can be beaten, the capital and economic capital can be beaten, so it will definitely cause panic among the Yankees. Lincoln must defend heavily. If it is already heavy, it will increase and worsen.
A guy as big as an airship is not suitable for placing it on a wing-ground effect aircraft, so this time it will be a pure helicopter operation, with 30 attack helicopters escorting, and 50 UH64s loaded with bombs will perform bombing missions. Since the positioned signal transmission tower was received by the US military, the bombing efficiency this time was low and it could only attack obvious military targets.
The Wingland Effect plane took a break at the sea supply station 1,500 kilometers away from Massachusetts and ran towards Massachusetts with 100 helicopters. This will be the first time that the ground effect plane has stepped onto the stage of history and gave Yankees a huge surprise.
What is the scene of 80 buzzing helicopters? It's like the end of the world for Philadelphia residents. Fortunately, the Windsor Consortium is a paper tiger for civilians, just heading towards military camps and military airports. In the harsh air raid sirens, the US Air Force's helicopters stationed in Massachusetts were full of their lives. It's time to fight to the death.
There were more than one hundred combat helicopters in the United States. The invaders quickly adjusted their strategies and focused on long-distance fighting. The enemy advanced and we retreated, and used their advantage of shooting far exceeding the opponent to make up for the disadvantage of their troops.
Because of the advanced engine, the eic helicopter still flies backward faster than the opponent, so it can always maintain an effective safe distance and shoot at the opponent happily. However, the US military helicopter saw that the plane was not good and quickly retreated to the protection range of the anti-aircraft gun, which could not form an effective pursuit.
The U.S. Air Force lost five helicopters in this fierce air battle, and the EIC Air Force finally had the chance to be discovered that their helicopters had the function of rotor disengagement and then ejected parachuting. The rescue helicopter on standby in the rear immediately rescued its pilot, but the U.S. military had not yet reacted.
Although only one enemy was shot down, the Americans still jumped up with joy, which was too encouraging. It seemed that our Air Force was not a fuel-efficient lamp, right? The spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense did not tell the American people that more than a dozen helicopters on their side were covered with bullet holes, which were close to the brink of scrapping.
The New York Times said excitedly: "This shows that the Windsor warlords are not an invincible myth, and we will definitely persevere until justice can be declared!"
The East India Company was puzzled and went back and quickly investigated why the pilot was ejected without a fatal attack? The result of the investigation was that the main pilot was too nervous and kept thinking about ejection, but the catapult was accidentally triggered. The pilot was immediately transferred to the rear logistics force and never went to the front line again.
In the next three days, the sea surprise attacks that came and went without a trace continued to send air forces to harass important cities in the east, causing the US military to run for a long time and continuously lose helicopters. As a large number of military power generation equipment were blown up and the supply was not available for a while, the US military had to start requisitioning civilian windmills. This was a treasure during the war, especially the magical hydropower integrated equipment, and the American people almost rushed to buy it.
