When Yu Yifeng made up his mind, he suddenly felt like he was thinking too much. Many conservative experts and scholars also thought too much. They still stood on the basis that human beings are a weak civilization and trembled with fear.
He plays his own role. How can he act well like this?
If human beings are really a powerful civilization, how can they be so timid?
Think about it, when Americans face Filipinos who cross the border, even if they take the lead in shooting, the other side will not dare to say anything because the Americans are stronger. By the same token, the more aggressive they are, the more worries the other side will have and the less likely they will be.
Dare to test you...
After all, the new human civilization cannot withstand temptation. Once it is tested, the secret will be exposed. It must be arrogant and tough in order to truly show the momentum of a powerful civilization!
"Okay, there's no need to argue!" Yu Yifeng suddenly spoke up, and the whole place fell silent instantly.
"Fire one shot! That's the decision. Xu Yunjin, you go prepare for the charging stage of the ion cannon!"
"Yes!" Xu Yunjin looked happy, saluted a military salute, and walked out quickly.
There is a real ion cannon on the Noah, which was removed from the Martian flying saucer. After human modification, it can barely be used. The core part of this ion cannon is provided by alien creations, but its acceleration pipeline is
Designed by humans, it covers a distance of 33 kilometers, and firing a cannon requires a large amount of electricity.
Due to a large number of inadequate technologies such as energy systems and superconducting systems, its power may be only one-tenth of the original version, but it doesn't matter, you just need to deter the opponent.
People don’t know how powerful the Martian flying saucer is compared to this unknown alien civilization, nor do they know what the technical content of the ion cannon is, and whether it will be exposed because it is too low-end. But if you think about it carefully, the ion cannon is just like human firearms.
It is considered a relatively conventional space weapon, and the probability of being directly eliminated is relatively small.
Just like human firearms, more than a hundred years have passed and progress has actually been very small. They are still gunpowder kinetic energy weapons, and people are still using them.
"Such shooting requires extremely high precision and a lot of calculations. We must grasp it well." Yu Yifeng said seriously, "Go find Mr. Li Wu!"
To fire an ion cannon 310 billion kilometers away requires extremely high precision, which is a big challenge for humans. This cannon, which is close to the speed of light, requires seven or eight days of navigation.
Arrive at a given location.
Moreover... the alien spacecraft is constantly in motion, and even the images currently observed by people are from more than ten days ago. People need to constantly calculate the future trajectory of the alien spacecraft to adjust the target of the ion cannon.
Such ultra-high precision must be completed by super engineer Li Wu.
People only have one chance to fire one shot. If they fire too many, the other side will think it is a war... But if one shot is fired and it is justified, there shouldn't be much of a problem...
Yu Yifeng's requirement is that this ion cannon should appear within 100,000 kilometers of the alien spacecraft. In other words, the diameter of the target is about 200,000 kilometers.
Two hundred thousand kilometers may not seem like a high requirement, but in fact, it’s ridiculously high!
At present, humans cannot accurately calculate the position of the alien spacecraft because the propagation speed of light is limited. The images humans see all occurred more than ten days ago, and the alien spacecraft is constantly changing speed. Human beings
How can you fight if you don't even know the opponent's specific position?
Moreover, the universe is really too vast. "A slight difference can make a difference a thousand miles." This saying is no joke. As long as the muzzle moves up or down by just one micron or even one nanometer, it will deviate just a little bit.
At an angle, this error will be magnified by hundreds of billions or trillions of times, and may be offset by hundreds of millions of kilometers!
If this happens, the problem will be serious... If an alien civilization detects this shot with a huge error, what will they think? They will definitely wonder why human technology is so rubbish? A shot can miss the target
Hundreds of millions of kilometers? This kind of suspicion should be avoided.
Therefore, Li Wu has a heavy responsibility. He cannot let human beings' disguise leak!
His heart has always been tense. Even making a helium-3 nuclear bomb has never made him so nervous. This cannon is an important part of the entire "camouflage" plan and is even related to the lives of all mankind. He was careless.
No! But Li Wu had nothing to complain about. He rushed over as soon as he received the notice. It was his duty to do something like this!
The computer has already aimed the approximate direction, and actually only needs to fine-tune a little bit. What it has to do is wait for an inspiration, or an intuition.
Today's human beings don't even know the specific location of the alien spacecraft. Everything is an estimate... Well, this also requires a certain degree of accuracy, which seems a bit overwhelming. In addition to using his unique sensitive intuition, everything is done.
Unreliable.
He can only rely on intuition, or his special ability, to make such a gamble...
This can be said to be the biggest challenge in Li Wu's life. Gradually, he fell into a strange state. His heart became calm, his heartbeat frequency became consistent, and he kept catching that glimmer of inspiration.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes... Li Wu hadn't moved for half an hour, just standing blankly in the control room of the ion cannon.
Everyone stood more than ten meters behind, not daring to get out of the air. Zhao Yao, Xu Yunjin and other soldiers stood upright, while the others were motionless. The atmosphere was very strange, everyone was very nervous, and several scientists were heartbeating rapidly.
He walked out automatically. Immediately afterwards, more and more people walked out of the control room. They were afraid that their breathing and heartbeat would affect Li Wu.
Yu Yifeng just waited quietly. He knew Li Wu's character and it was absolutely impossible for him to desert or sleep. All they had to do was trust and wait patiently.
Finally, after another ten minutes, Li Wu seemed to wake up from sleep, with a focused expression and stiff muscles all over his body, staring at the screen.
Inspiration... appeared! At this moment, he gathered all his muscles and slammed the switch of the ion cannon!
"Buzz!" There was a sound, and a large amount of electric energy gathered in the electromagnetic pipeline. The power system of Noah was somewhat overwhelmed at this moment, and all the lights in the entire spacecraft flashed several times.
At this time, the Noah's power stations have all been turned on and are at full capacity, but they still cannot handle the peak power of this ion cannon, which shows how terrible its energy consumption is!
Then, a blazing white beam flew out from the muzzle. It was also a high-energy particle beam, but this cannon was more than ten thousand times more powerful than the Gauss rifle. This string of proton beams was more numerous and closer to the speed of light!
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the closer matter approaches the speed of light, the massive amount of energy required, and the power of this ion cannon is comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb!
"How's it going?" Yu Yifeng hurriedly walked over and asked.
"...I don't know, but it shouldn't be too bad." Li Wu scratched his head nervously. He really didn't know what the result would be.
Everyone was talking and whispering to each other in low voices. Now everything that should be done has been done. Do your best and obey fate. The only thing left is to wait...
