At this moment, the phone on Yu Yifeng's power armor suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was from the Security Department.
He didn't dare to neglect and answered the call immediately: "I'm Yu Yifeng, what's the problem?"
An urgent female voice came from the opposite side: "Captain, the first batch of frigates has been built and will soon enter the test flight stage. Minister Xu invites you to come and visit..."
"Oh, there are also some weapons and equipment tests for the Deep Space..." The female staff member gave an overview of the matter in a few words.
Yu Yifeng's mind stirred. Has the third-generation frigate been built? And the weapons and equipment are also being tested today? He had a vague impression that it might be because he had too many things to do recently and he had neglected it.
This is a big deal, I have to go check it out! Yu Yifeng still had his usual straightforward style and quickly answered the phone several times.
This group of people quickly inspected the material warehouse and found nothing unusual, so they immediately turned around and walked out.
"Let's go to the military zone to see the new generation of warships! The first test will be conducted today." He said to several assistants, thinking to himself that he was lucky to have recruited a few strong young men.
Otherwise, for ordinary people, running around all day long, inspecting various locations, their legs will be paralyzed...
Yuriko is still one of his assistants. Although she is smart and capable, she is not suitable for this kind of errand work.
It would be very inconsiderate of women if they were really taken out and run around.
"Ah, really! A new type of frigate? I heard that one of them is a streamlined model that can be fired with an electromagnetic gun! It can enter the planet's atmosphere at super high speed..."
Xiao Yu beside him shouted excitedly, he seemed to be a serious military fan.
Several other people also discussed it excitedly. Yu Yifeng smiled in his heart, being young is good and having vitality!
They took the maglev elevator and returned to the regular gravity zone. However, they did not take off the gravity armor. Instead, they boarded a maglev train directly and headed towards the outer reaches of the Noah.
After spending about half a quarter of an hour, the group finally arrived at the military area of the Deep Space, where four to five hundred staff members were busy.
Deep Space is equivalent to an aircraft carrier. Smaller spacecraft are stored inside Deep Space, and larger ones are mounted around Deep Space.
Yu Yifeng saw Xu Yunjin, Zhao Yao and other old acquaintances here, as well as his wife Yuriko, who is the main designer of the new generation of warships.
However, the two people just looked at each other from a distance and did not speak.
Not counting the huge Deep Space for now, these spaceships are humanity’s third-generation space battleships.
The first generation was the A001 to A003 models developed by Dr. Luo Meng. Later, the Knicks developed the second generation spacecraft to transport space supplies...
Time flies so fast, now it is the third generation... the performance is even better and more complete.
The third-generation spaceship is mainly used for combat. Of course, there is not just one type, but three types!
The first type of space battleship, just like Xiao Yu said, is called "Yuyan". It is relatively small, only more than 20 meters long, and looks as light as a swallow.
It has a pointed front, very short wings, and a graceful streamlined shape, making it more beautiful and generous than the previous two generations.
This kind of beauty is of course not for good looks, but to reduce atmospheric friction!
The "Yuyan" spacecraft can fly at high speed in an atmospheric environment and is an alternative nuclear-powered aircraft.
If nuclear fusion cannot be miniaturized, it is already... the pinnacle of fission energy!
"While flying in the atmosphere, another set of nuclear reactors inside Yuyan started to heat the liquid metal around the core. Then the high-speed airflow was brought into contact with the high-temperature liquid metal. As a result, the airflow turned into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then passed through the diversion, leading to
The supercharged turbines of each engine finally eject high-temperature gas to generate rear thrust."
A staff member stood at the front and explained the specific principles of the engine.
Nuclear-powered aircraft is a black technology of the past earth era and a modern conventional technology.
"Yuyan" can achieve an acceleration of 3 g under the earth's atmospheric pressure, and its maximum speed can reach 20 times the speed of sound!
In the thin stratosphere, the speed of sound can reach 40 times!
In space, relying on its own engine alone, it can reach a speed of up to one-thousandth and six times the speed of light! If it is fired from the electromagnetic gun of the mothership, the initial speed can reach one-fiftieth the speed of light!
The second type of frigate is relatively large, about three hundred meters long. Compared with "Yuyan", it looks like a hill.
Its name is... "Leviathan"!
Yu Yifeng walked up to a "Leviathan" frigate and looked at it carefully. Part of the hull was made of nanomaterials, and the walls were very thin, only a few millimeters thick.
Therefore, the entire spacecraft is not very heavy and looks a bit flimsy. But when you touch it with your hands, you can feel its hardness and toughness.
"If our nanotechnology can go further, the spacecraft will be lighter and have better quality. This is also the future trend. Lower mass will be very helpful to increase the maneuverability of the spacecraft..." Yuriko walked over and whispered.
said.
"Leviathan" is three hundred meters long and is already a fully equipped small base.
When there is sufficient energy, it can also forcibly land on an atmospheric planet equivalent to the Earth's gravity to engage in intra-atmospheric battles.
It carries more missiles, energy and firepower than "Yuyan", and is even equipped with several heavy laser weapons!
"However, this size is still a bit embarrassing. We cannot build the smallest nuclear fusion reactor, and we still cannot use nuclear fusion power... unless we realize the miniaturization of nuclear fusion." Yuriko shook her head.
But Yu Yifeng was very satisfied. The length of more than 300 meters is equivalent to an aircraft carrier on earth!
This is a space aircraft carrier. It was designed and manufactured in just one year. How could he be dissatisfied? The difficulty of flying in the water and flying in the sky are completely two orders of magnitude.
It can even show that... this kind of spacecraft can be mass-produced for the new human civilization!
During the discussion, the first test began, and a "Leviathan" and several "Yuyan" flew out quickly.
Driven by the ion engine, in less than a minute, people can only see a few tiny blue light spots, just like the stars in the Milky Way. Although they are not clearly visible to the naked eye, Deep Space's radar and astronomical observation system
, but can easily discover them.
The figures of all the spaceships are displayed on the big screen. "Yuyan" is like a real swallow, agile and unrestrained, while "Leviathan" looks much heavier. Therefore, the two spacecrafts each have their own characteristics.
Not only for flight testing, people placed a large number of metal targets on GB131 in advance to test the weapon system.
"Yuyan" is loaded with small nuclear bombs. There are so many of them made by humans that they hardly need testing. They just fire a few blank bombs at will. Therefore, "Leviathan" is the main test subject, and the heavy-duty nuclear bombs loaded in it are
The laser frequency is about three times per second.
As long as it is fired, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the bullseye as big as a car will explode like a firework and melt directly into shiny molten steel.
"This heavy-duty laser weapon can easily penetrate a three-meter-thick steel plate! However, it consumes a lot of energy, so the frequency is not high."
"The accuracy is okay..."
Next came the light laser test. Light lasers are usually used to intercept enemy artillery shells and are a defense mechanism.
Deep Space spit out a large amount of aerogels at 15 times the speed of sound and flew towards the test spacecraft. Within a range of 1,000 kilometers from the spacecraft, they were automatically recognized by the computer, and light lasers began to eject.
Dark red flames appeared in the universe, and many aerogels were intercepted and destroyed by light lasers.
Immediately afterwards, Deep Space increased the jet speed of the aerogel.
"At 15 times the speed of sound, low-frequency attacks can be intercepted almost 100%."
"20 times the speed of sound attack test starts."
"30 times the speed of sound test..."
"High-density electronic interference is turned on..."
As the test conditions became more and more demanding, the spacecraft interception system began to be overwhelmed, and the 100% interception rate no longer existed. Yu Yifeng also squinted his eyes and stared at the screen carefully.
The rating of "Leviathan" is actually higher. Although it is larger, its interception system is more powerful and it is less likely to be hit.
At the end, pieces of data were listed on the screen.
This test is to find out the flaws of the new generation of warships, and it cannot be perfect.
Judging from specific performance, their performance is already more than 80% higher than that of the second-generation spacecraft.
This also represents the technological progress of mankind!
It even means...the weapons of low-level civilizations can hardly threaten human spacecraft!
Many people clapped their hands with excitement and paid tribute to the technicians.
