The launch of the orbital factory was just one of the major events that happened in October. In addition, there were several major events that happened at the Beiyuezhou base, and they were more or less related to the orbital factory.
The launch time of the orbital factory is much earlier than the original plan, but this is determined by the construction progress of the base. Following the tradition of Beiyuezhou, all the resources of the base are tilted towards the shipbuilding project to fully meet the needs of the orbital factory
.
But in fact, there is no need for the base to do this at all, because the base's industrial group has excess production capacity and its production capacity is enough to support the construction of several warships at the same time.
This battleship is the first battleship built by the Orbital Factory. Humanity has never built a true space battleship before, so this unnamed battleship is mainly used to verify the construction technology and battleship design. It will not be used from the beginning.
Large-scale construction, according to the Navy's experience, subsequent ships must make necessary modifications on the basis of the first ship, even large-scale modifications.
It is impossible for the Beiyuezhou base to waste excess production capacity. The industrial team works hard every day and produces non-stop for 24 hours, accumulating more and more raw materials.
It is said that the surplus raw materials can be retained for a period of time and used for the construction of subsequent ships after the warships are finalized. However, the production capacity of Beiyuezhou Base is still increasing step by step. It seems feasible to accumulate raw materials, but in fact, a large number of resources are idle.
Neither the ground nor the base can tolerate it.
The ground simply revised the Moon Palace plan and implemented some follow-up plans in advance. The base used spacecraft to return surplus resources to the earth, relied on Tiangong to build the No. 2 orbital factory around the earth, and some rare resources were returned to the ground through the return spacecraft.
This action is a sub-plan of the Moon Palace Plan, called Feedback.
The materials sent back to the ground are mainly raw materials used to make nuclear weapons. The dead weight of the spacecraft plus the load exceeds 30 tons. If the spacecraft transporting nuclear materials crashes and hits the ground, the power will be no worse than the explosion of nuclear weapons, and it may even detonate the weapons in the spacecraft.
Nuclear raw materials!
For this reason, the military has installed multiple safeguards on the return spacecraft to ensure the safety of the spacecraft as much as possible, but the risk factor is still horribly high.
In order to avoid an extreme situation, the military ordered the Beiyuezhou base to temporarily suspend the return of nuclear materials after receiving four return spacecraft carrying nuclear materials.
Directly making nuclear materials into nuclear weapons in Beiyuezhou and placing them on the Tiangong can also support the ground at any time, and it is safer.
The raw materials needed for the No. 2 Orbital Factory are also provided by Beiyuezhou, but the materials produced here are not used to build battleships, but to modify the Tiangong space station!
Tiangong and the International Space Station are the two major man-made spacecraft in orbit outside the earth, and both have undergone a certain degree of militarization in the event of asteroid attacks. They can be said to be two paramilitary bases orbiting the earth.
These two space stations are also outposts leading to the moon. The original scale is far from meeting current needs, so necessary modifications must be made to the space stations to turn the space stations into real space military fortresses.
This project is much more complicated than simply building a warship. Fortunately, the space station does not require maneuverability. The modification plan is only to expand the scale of the space station, make the protection better as possible, and equip the space station with sufficient weapons.
The modified space station will be officially renamed Tiangong Base, with more than 30 permanent personnel. In addition to laser cannons and missiles carrying nuclear warheads, it will also be equipped with experimental electromagnetic railguns. According to the plan, Tiangong Base’s weapon system
Enough to destroy the earth dozens of times and still have plenty left.
Before the insect disaster broke out, such an approach would have been unanimously opposed by the world. However, after the asteroid impact incident, even if countries were worried about the militarization of space, they would not object to having an extra layer of protection above their heads. At most, it would only be in Tiangong.
When the base appeared above their heads, they protested to Beidu and demanded that Beidu control the location of the Tiangong base on Chinese soil.
Countries are worried not only about the nuclear weapons on Yuegong Base, but also about Yuegong Base itself. The Tiangong modification project has just begun, and several countries have raised objections.
Beidu immediately announced the details of the modification of the Tiangong.
The size of the modified Moon Palace Base is no less than that of an aircraft carrier, with a displacement of over 50,000 tons. If such a behemoth were to accidentally fall, it would be no less powerful than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.
The military's countermeasure is to make necessary preparations at various key nodes of the Tiangong base. Once the Tiangong goes out of control, it can detonate the bombs placed at each node and blow the huge Tiangong into pieces.
The scattered debris will only burn up in the atmosphere and will not endanger the safety of the earth.
Beidu's statement cannot reassure other countries, but the modification of the Tiangong is imperative. In order to accommodate the concerns of other countries, Beidu can make necessary explanations, but it will never stop eating because of other countries' objections.
The United States and the base group headed by the United States also have plans to modify the International Space Station, so they have not expressed their opinions on the modification of Tiangong, uncharacteristically.
The World Police would be satisfied if they didn't come out to disturb the Northern Capital, and there was no need for the al-Qaeda group to come forward to support it.
The Yankees have always been unwilling to do anything early, and if they want to gain support from the other side of the ocean, they will certainly not offer a lower price.
Another thing I have to say comes from the ground.
October is not the end of the year, but Siberia has entered the cold early winter. There are fewer and fewer giant insects heading south. The northern defense line that has been fighting for several months has withstood the invasion of the insect swarms. As long as we wait until November, the cold winter will come.
The insect swarm is completely frozen, and the northern defense line will enter a rest period of up to half a year.
The frequency and intensity of fighting have both declined. The three directions of east, middle and west have begun to summarize the fighting situation and summarize experiences and lessons.
The news was summarized in Beidu. After a detailed investigation, the military found that the combat effectiveness curve of the wolf worms has been on the rise. The overall combat capability of the worms has increased by more than 10% compared with last year!
Don't underestimate this 10% increase in combat effectiveness. The giant desert scorpions that were able to destroy the insect swarms last year have lost their glory this year. All giant scorpions that dared to attack the insect swarms were torn to pieces by the furious wolves.
If the northern defense line had always used guns and artillery to fight against the worms, this year's combat losses would have doubled at least several times. Fortunately, various new weapons have greatly improved the army's combat capabilities and kept the wolves and worms firmly outside the defense line.
The military currently does not know the specific reason why the wolf's combat effectiveness has improved. It is speculated that long-term combat with humans has stimulated the evolutionary ability of the wolf's genes, thus producing genetic mutations that are beneficial to combat.
This is just the military's speculation. The military can't provide any evidence, and there is no research in this area in the laboratory... Friends who read books, you can search for "" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
