Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2441 If EMP doesn't work...

The city's power supply system paralyzed by the EMP bomb shrouded the entire war zone in an eerie blue-gray morning light.

The mechas that were still maneuvering at a high frequency and the trap equipment that were still operating stably in various places also made the military experts around the world who were paying attention to this game fall silent.

The EMP bomb is also called the electromagnetic pulse bomb. Although it does not have the same terrible destructive power as the mushroom bomb, it can easily destroy electronic equipment and computer targets. It is known as the "second mushroom bomb" in the information age.

"If it is the EMP bomb shown in the announcement, it can emit microwaves with a power of billions of watts in a billionth of a second, easily penetrating these fortifications, and paralyzing all power supply, telephone communications, and computer systems along the cables and air conditioning channels... But how come these mechas and electronic traps of Jiuzhou Technology are still running smoothly? Is this fake?
Yes, this is most likely a fake EMP bomb. This is a competition after all. If a large-scale EMP bomb is really used, the Sky Dome Battle Center will probably be paralyzed, and the 100,000 people on the scene will fall into panic, and it may even cause a stampede, ruining the reputation of Jiuzhou Technology..."

"Teacher, their host Wang Teng explained that the mechas detonated EMP bombs during the fight. And from our observations, the televisions and water dispensers in the simulated city buildings were indeed disrupted and their electronic equipment components were damaged. And not all of these mechas are immune to the damage of electromagnetic pulses. Some of the contestants' mechas have been offline. The remaining surviving contestants' mechas are said to have special isolation layer designs..."

"How is that possible?! Those trap devices can use the Faraday cage principle to construct a metal shield to block the intrusion of electromagnetic waves. But these mechas, even if they all use full metal shells and conductive coatings to improve their anti-interference capabilities, it is impossible for them to have no gaps on their bodies!
Did the engineers at Jiuzhou Technology use electron tubes instead of transistors? This kind of component with stronger resistance to electromagnetic pulses can indeed reduce the sensitivity of the circuit, but the mecha control system cannot rely on backward equipment such as electron tubes, unless Jiuzhou Technology's carbon-based chip has a stronger anti-interference technology version!
If this is the case, Daxia’s military capabilities may need to be upgraded to a higher level..."

"I have an idea. These gaming mechas are expensive to build. Perhaps the engineers at Jiuzhou Technology have used multiple independent power supplies and communication links in some of the mecha's key facilities to ensure that the whole can still operate even if part of it is damaged. After these mechas experienced the EMP bomb, many of them did indeed expose this problem."

"Using low-temperature plasma confinement technology to absorb and weaken the energy of electromagnetic pulses through the ionized gas layer, it should be easy to accomplish with the resources currently available to Jiuzhou Technology..."

Some experts are thinking about how these mechas can resist EMP bombs. After all, the reason they were able to remain calm when mechas joined the war was because of weapons such as EMP bombs that have devastating effects on electronic products.

And now, a group of mechas were able to maintain a considerable degree of mobility after being hit by an EMP bomb in the chaos of a battle. This was already tearing up the documents and plans they had originally submitted to the official top leaders!
Moreover, quite a number of experts clearly know that the active interception technology mastered by the Daxia government can, in a sense, ensure that EMP bombs will not easily explode in Daxia.

After all, this type of electromagnetic pulse bomb needs to rely on missiles or fighter jets for delivery. With the radar early warning capabilities that Daxia currently possesses, it can easily cooperate with air defense missiles and laser weapons to destroy its launch platform or flying vehicle.

In fact, while these foreign military experts were scratching their heads, the official military experts of Daxia were also watching the game intently.

In other words, since Jiuzhou Technology started hosting mecha combat competitions, they have not missed any game, and for each game, they have conducted multiple discussions on it, and for some scenarios, they even used military combat mechas to conduct replay simulations.

The results they obtained also shocked them.

Jiuzhou Technology did not "lie". The combat mecha has a natural, cross-technological suppressive power over the game competition mecha.

When a combat mecha fights a game competition mecha of the same level of construction materials, it can easily use electronic warfare, long-range firepower to eliminate, and more powerful instantaneous power output to annihilate the game competition mecha. In response to EMP bombs, the game competition mecha can only resist, but now the latest version of Jiuzhou Technology's combat mecha can be equipped with a defense system device that can detect, strike and intercept...

If we use a rough iterative calculation method, these gaming competition mechas that have shocked global military experts are at least three generations behind the military combat mechas currently purchased by the official Daxia.

Netizens complained that fortunately technology is in the hands of civilization.

However, the officials within Daxia are extremely anxious to invest resources in the project, hoping that they can become this "civilization".

At a moment when everyone was paying attention, a special gaming mecha named "Night Owl" showed a more terrifying scene to global military experts.

Its ceramic armor is covered with an adaptive camouflage coating that simulates the concrete texture of the ruins.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the smoke, this Night Owl mecha had successfully evolved into a part of the ruins environment.

However, just when everyone thought that this realistic simulation ability would definitely be able to "trick" at least one contestant, Xia Tian, ​​the runner-up of the first "Omnic Crisis" Global Martial Arts Tournament, arrived at the scene.

When his environmental scanning system detected the ground vibration, it immediately activated the function of identifying the bounce trajectory of concrete fragments.

At the same time, the indicator light on the missile bay on the shoulder of the armor selected by Xia Tian also lit up, and 9 micro-missiles unfolded their folding wings. At the moment of its launch, through the multi-angle vision provided by the micro-missiles, Xia Tian noticed that the broken glass curtain wall of the block reflected an abnormal flash.

Without any hesitation, the three micro missiles changed their trajectories instantly, and after changing their postures several times, they slammed into the ruins.

boom!
There were three more explosions on the “booming” battlefield at the center of the Sky Dome Battle.

Chen Hao looked at the wound on the chest armor of his mecha on the holographic screen with a gloomy expression.

If he hadn't escaped fast enough, he would have almost become a piece of trash in the ruins.
