After the "projection launch pad" has been proven to significantly improve the space delivery capabilities of human civilization, people no longer plan to dismantle the carbon nanotube cable connected to the end of the No. 1 space elevator.
It directly stabilizes its existence. When it is necessary to launch a high-speed aircraft in the future, it can be launched directly there, saving time, effort, and economy.
At this moment, in addition to the space spy satellites that were frequently sent in the past and the interstellar missiles that were sent out on average once a year, it has ushered in a new round of launch missions.
In this assembly factory, which is a full 10,000 kilometers away from the surface of Sedna, the astronauts on duty here skillfully assembled one interstellar missile after another. But what is different from the past is that these interstellar missiles
The warhead of the missile is not loaded with hydrogen bombs, but other things.
The assembly of these things is even simpler than a hydrogen bomb. After a total of fifty interstellar missiles were assembled, they were thrown out together, gaining an initial velocity of up to 1.83 kilometers per second out of thin air.
They once again began their journey to the deep sky stars.
The missile's third- and second-stage structures were still ignited one after another. After increasing the missile's total speed to 18.65 kilometers per second, they separated from the missile structure on their own, leaving only the first stage still advancing rapidly.
Time passed quietly. About a month later, senior government officials and members of the war committee once again gathered in the combat readiness and defense room under the leadership of Zhao Changxing.
Commissioner Wu Qinghong presided over this attack. This was the first time he had presided over an operation of this level since he joined the War Council and became a high-ranking member of the civilization. However, although he was slightly green, there was no trace of excitement on his still resolute face.
It's just calmness and confidence.
In the past period of time, the plan he proposed has passed various tests and achieved satisfactory results in all aspects of review. This gave him the greatest confidence.
"Coordinate calibration begins. Steering the engine for compensation propulsion."
"Yes! Do the compensation push!"
Since the third and second stages of the interstellar missiles were thrown away, these fifty interstellar missiles have flown by inertia for a distance of more than 60 million kilometers in the vast space. Although when they were first launched,
People have made the most precise aiming, but after such a long distance and such a long flight, there are still certain errors in their orbits.
This must be adjusted, otherwise they may not even be able to hit planets with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers and fly directly into deeper space.
Under the calculation and operation of the combat operators, the orbital error was quickly calculated with the combined action of the spy satellite, the Sedna deep space positioning base, and the neutron star locator equipped on the interstellar missile.
data.
The data is transmitted from the Sedna deep space positioning base to the missile at the speed of light through radio signals. Through the conversion of the built-in chip, it is quickly turned into propulsion data and distributed to the steering engine. The corresponding fuel is quickly distributed in place, and in the automatic
Under the action of the ignition device, it turns into hot gas and is ejected, providing corresponding feedback force to the missile body.
Under the influence of feedback force, the aiming direction of the interstellar missile was adjusted again.
This is the last adjustment. After this, they will lose the ability to change the direction of attack.
"302,100 kilometers from the center of the deep space star."
"Enable level one acceleration!"
The last remaining stage of the interstellar missile immediately ignited the fuel it carried. Hot gas spurted out from the tail again, pushing it to increase its speed once again.
"At this distance, the Deep Space Stars should have been able to detect interstellar missiles flying towards them."
According to past rules and with reference to the technology possessed by humans, this inference is quite reasonable. However, at this distance, the observation error of deep space radar is extremely large, and it is basically impossible to provide effective data reference for the interception system. Regardless of the depth
Both Skylanders and humans can only rely on observations at this moment to issue early warnings to avoid danger.
Even this kind of danger-avoiding early warning function can only be realized after both parties have greatly improved the performance of the planetary defense system. It was simply not possible in the past.
At the speed of the interstellar missile at this moment, it will take about four and a half hours to fly to the surface of the deep space star. Such a long time is enough to issue an early warning and allow people to avoid danger.
At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded in the core of the Tianshen space base, the office said to be closest to God. Noli Ruoxi glanced at the alarm and immediately frowned.
"No less than 30 interstellar missiles? Are humans crazy? Are they going to dismantle the deep space star?"
If 30 interstellar missiles loaded with high-yield hydrogen bombs hit the deep space star at the same time, there is no doubt that it will have a huge impact on the deep space star as a whole. It is not a problem to permanently change the geological structure of the deep space star.
But...what's the point of doing this?
Although we have been deliberately "restoring" the construction on the surface of the deep space star, those damn humans are not stupid enough to think that we are still building some important facilities on the surface of the planet, right?
What exactly do they want to do?
This caused Noli Ruoxi to fall into long-term doubts. However, despite his doubts, he did not delay the instructions he should give.
"Let all those lowly people return to the space base. It doesn't matter if they die, don't waste the spaceship."
Thinking of those dual-purpose spacecraft that had been used as efficiently as possible and increased in number as much as possible, Noli Ruoxi felt annoyed again.
Because the materials brought back by these spaceships are still insufficient for use, various construction projects are severely restricted, seriously affecting the development and recovery process of civilization.
"I hope the scientists at the Temple of Science will decipher those ancient texts and master the technology related to the rail gun sooner."
The so-called rail gun has the same principle as the electromagnetic gun, but the functions and usage scenarios of the two are different. The electromagnetic gun is used to launch small projectiles, the faster the better, and is mainly used to kill the enemy. The rail gun is mainly used to fire small projectiles.
Used to accelerate large standard containers.
They can directly accelerate large standard boxes filled with materials and cargo to a speed exceeding the first cosmic speed of the planet, allowing them to fly directly from the surface to space orbit. In this way, they can completely replace the space and space dual-use
The role of the spacecraft greatly improves the efficiency of material transportation.
Think about it, compared to driving one spaceship after another to transport cargo from the surface to space, it is of course more trouble-free and more convenient to directly launch the cargo into space orbit.
This is a method of material transportation that is as efficient as a space elevator. Now that space elevators are not feasible to construct due to continuous attacks from enemies, railguns are the only means that can solve material constraints.
"I don't know when the chief scientific officer will be able to decipher the manufacturing technology of that strategic-level weapon. This kind of day can only be beaten and cannot fight back..."
The order issued by Noli Ruoxi was transmitted at the speed of light to the tens of thousands of people and nearly a thousand dual-purpose spacecraft still busy on the surface of the deep space star.
Gudazar looked at the deep sky with fear, immediately put down his work, rolled and crawled back to the aerospace spacecraft with his companions, took off as fast as possible, and escaped back
into the base.
At this moment, there are still about two hours before the interstellar missile hits the deep sky star.
Noliruoxi didn't even think about intercepting them. First, he couldn't intercept them, and secondly, why intercept them? Anyway, there is nothing on the deep space star. No, there are some newly built empty iron houses that humans are willing to blow up.
Just blow it up.
As long as you control these space bases well and ensure that you are not unlucky enough to be affected, it will be fine.
At this time, those interstellar missiles had completed the last stage of acceleration. This allowed them to reach a maximum speed of 22.12 times per second.
At this time in the past, it was almost time to release sub-warheads and false targets. But this time, the situation seemed a little different from before.
At a distance of more than 100,000 kilometers, a controlled explosion occurred in the warhead of the 16 interstellar missiles arranged in the first echelon. This explosion directly exploded the numerous materials loaded inside.
came out.
That is a miniature projectile with a total mass of more than 30 tons, a quantity of more than 60 million, and a mass of only 0.5 grams!
This time, the interstellar missile warhead is not loaded with hydrogen bombs, but a large number of steel gravel!
In this controlled explosion, the steel and gravel that had been gathered together spread out in an instant, covering an area of almost one square kilometer in an instant. And, as they advanced at high speed, they were like an open giant.
The network is average and the coverage area is still expanding rapidly.
And this is just the first interstellar missile. Behind it, there are 49 more.
This is the new weapon proposed by Commissioner Wu Qinghong.
It is impossible for human civilization to use electromagnetic guns to accelerate projectiles near deep space stars. However, it can directly use interstellar missiles to accelerate them!
No matter what method of acceleration is used, it doesn't matter. The main means of killing projectiles is high-speed impact, as long as there is high speed.
And... a projectile accelerated to a speed of 22.12 kilometers per second by an interstellar missile, even if it has a mass of only 0.5 grams, has a kinetic energy of up to 122 kilojoules! It is equivalent to a heavy sniper rifle using gunpowder as the driving force in the original Earth era.
Almost dozens of times more powerful than bullets!
Now, there are more than 3 billion such projectiles.
Driven by the built-in bombs, they cover a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers. Not only do they cover the entire deep space star, they also completely cover all the near-Earth space within a full 200 kilometers of its surface.
