After inspecting the construction of the 'Hanwu Emperor', Qin Yi did not return directly to the earth. Instead, he came to the moon again and came to the secret scientific research base established on the moon.
Controlled nuclear fusion technology has been researched, gravity technology has been mastered, and the conditions for interstellar spaceflight are almost mature. As soon as the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft is built, we can almost embark on the journey of interstellar navigation.
However, giant ships and cannons alone are not enough. They must also be equipped with cannons. After all, the truth is only within the range of cannons.
This principle applies not only to many countries on the earth, but also to many civilizations in the universe. The universe cannot be a warm family.
Competition for resources, ideological conflicts, racial antagonisms, etc., there are too many places where friction and war can easily occur. The universe is a dark forest. If you want to live in this forest, and gain
If it is to be interesting, it must have strong power.
Once the war is defeated, the possibility is not to cede territory and pay compensation. A strong civilization will not be polite to a weak civilization. The entire civilization will become a slave and be sold in the interstellar universe. This is still a good ending.
Even the entire civilization was wiped out.
Only with strong power and being at the top of the food chain can we live a happy life.
Whether it is the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft or other spaceships, sooner or later they will leave the solar system and move towards the interstellar universe. Naturally, this powerful force is absolutely indispensable.
This secret scientific research base located on the moon is now tasked with researching technological weapons suitable for the interstellar space age.
Seeing this, many people will ask, can’t the current weapons on earth be used in interstellar and space wars?
From the most basic guns and ammunition to cannons and missiles, to the most powerful nuclear weapons, from tanks to aircraft and submarines, these are all-round three-dimensional weapon systems on land, sea and air.
Although war in interstellar space may sound high-end, it is not yet a war. Since it is a war, these weapons developed by humans now should be effective.
But in fact, most of the weapons currently possessed by the people on earth have no effect in the war in interstellar space, or their effects are extremely limited, and there is no trump card or trump card weapon at all.
Even though the nuclear bomb is the most powerful weapon currently used by mankind, its role in space and in interstellar space wars is extremely limited.
Because the interstellar universe is so vast!
Take nuclear bombs as an example. The explosion range of a powerful nuclear bomb, especially a hydrogen bomb, is enough to easily destroy a super city on the earth.
But even for a metropolis like Shanghai, its area is only over 6,000 square kilometers. This area is a very large super city on earth.
But placed in space, this area is simply insignificant. You must know that in space, the flight speed of a spacecraft is tens of kilometers per second.
If it is a space fighter designed specifically for attack, its speed can exceed hundreds of kilometers per second. Such a terrifying speed can cover an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, let alone thousands of square kilometers.
, it can also fly out quickly.
It can even be said that the powerful shock wave generated by the hydrogen bomb explosion may not be able to reach this speed. It cannot even catch up with the enemy. How can you destroy the opponent?
What's more, in the space environment, the space is very wide and the maneuverability is very strong. It is a true three-dimensional war, which is completely different from the form of war on the earth.
As for bullets, artillery shells, missiles, etc., let alone these, the speed is too slow. It can't even catch up with the spaceship, let alone cause damage to the enemy.
Weapons in the interstellar space age must possess several characteristics.
The attack speed must be fast, preferably reaching the speed of light, because only with enough speed can the enemy be locked on and killed in the vast void.
The universe is so vast that even the speed of light is barely adequate. If it cannot even reach the speed of light, it will be really difficult to hit the enemy.
In addition to the attack speed, the attack distance must be far. Guns and ammunition on the earth can attack hundreds of meters away, artillery shells can attack targets several kilometers or more than ten kilometers away, and missiles can attack targets hundreds or several kilometers away.
Thousands, or even tens of thousands of kilometers away.
But this distance is nothing at all in space. The unit for calculating distance in space is astronomical units, which are light years. In the face of such a long distance, these tens of thousands of kilometers are no different from the origin.
This attack weapon must attack far enough to be able to attack the enemy.
In addition to the two characteristics above, weapons in the interstellar space age must also have many characteristics such as high attack power and high attack frequency.
Only weapons with the above characteristics can be truly used in interstellar space wars.
This nuclear bomb is so powerful that if it could explode close to the body, a dragon-class spacecraft like the 'Hanwu Emperor' would be blown to pieces.
But the key point is that this nuclear bomb requires a carrier, either a rocket or a fighter plane. It is definitely not easy to attack the enemy's space battleship or spaceship at close range.
Because every space battleship and spaceship is like an aircraft carrier in the starry sky, and it is even many times more powerful than an aircraft carrier.
It can carry a large number of space fighters, and can also be equipped with many small space battleships and spaceships for protection. It is definitely not easy to get close.
In addition to nuclear bombs, if you want to destroy a dragon-class spacecraft like the Hanwu Emperor, based on the current technological level of the earth, other weapons basically do not pose a substantial threat to the Hanwu Emperor.
.
Weapons used on Earth are ultimately weapons used on Earth.
Some people will say, this won’t work, that won’t work either, so what kind of weapons can be used in interstellar space stations?
Currently, there is only one that is more likely and the easiest to research, and that is laser weapons.
Laser weapons are weapons that use high-energy lasers to accurately shoot at long-distance targets or to defend against missiles, etc.
The attack speed of this laser weapon is the speed of light, which is fast enough and the attack distance is far enough to carry out precise attacks.
Of course, this laser weapon is not a mainstream weapon now, because the power of laser weapons is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
In addition, because laser weapons are optical weapons, they cannot be used in all-weather combat. They are limited by heavy fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain. The laser emission system is a precision optical system and is also seriously affected by the atmosphere, such as the absorption of energy by the atmosphere and atmospheric disturbances.
Energy attenuation, thermal halo effect, turbulence and attenuation caused by beam jitter, etc.
Since laser weapons require a large amount of electricity, they are also subject to the problem of high-energy storage batteries. Often these laser weapons must be equipped with a power station to supply power to them. The flexibility is too poor, and the frequency of attacks is too low.
This is also the reason why laser weapons have never been able to become the main weapon of war on the earth.
But this laser weapon is actually the predecessor of energy weapons. Its powerful attack speed and ultra-long attack range determine that it is a weapon belonging to the interstellar space age.
The interstellar space environment is a near-vacuum environment, which is not affected by rain, snow, fog, atmosphere, etc., and can have a very good combat environment.
As for the issue of energy consumption, it doesn't matter at all. Space battleships and spaceships are often equipped with nuclear power plants. If you master the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, you don't have to worry about energy issues at all.
As for the space fighter, the atomic matrix battery is completely sufficient, and the energy problem can be easily solved.
Coupled with the speed of light attack speed and ultra-long attack range, it is the most common and most universal weapon in interstellar space warfare.
Of course, the current laser weapons on the earth are still very low in power and attack frequency. As weapons in the interstellar space age, they still need to be upgraded.
Otherwise, it would be a fool's errand to destroy dragon-class spaceships and space battleships of the size of the 'Hanwu Emperor' with the current laser weapons on Earth.
Even if you stand still and attack desperately, there is no way to cause substantial damage to such a huge spaceship or space battleship.
You must know that the steel plate on the outer shell of the "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft is several meters thick. This is just a spaceship, not a specialized space battleship. If it were a space battleship, the outer shell would be even thicker.
Moreover, space battleships and spaceships often have energy shields, magnetic field shields, and laser weapons that are not even enough to scratch people's itch.
If you want to become a weapon in the interstellar space age, it must be powerful enough. Giant ship cannons, giant ship cannons, only cannons can pose a threat to giant ships. If you use a pistol to sink a giant ship, the pistol will probably be scrapped.
Yes, the giant ship is no big deal.
The reason is the same. The current laser weapon is similar to a pistol. The power is too low and the attack range is not enough. It cannot cause much damage to the giant ship. This laser weapon must be turned into an energy weapon and a cannon.
It can pose a sufficient threat to giant ships.
Now, the main mission of this secret scientific research base on the moon is to research energy weapons.
