Interstellar Industrial Age

After inspecting the construction of the 'Hanwu Emperor', Qin Yi did not return directly to the earth, but came to the moon again, to this secret scientific research base established on the moon.

The controllable nuclear fusion technology has been researched, the gravity technology has also been mastered, and the conditions for interstellar spaceflight are almost mature.

However, giant ships and cannons, it is not enough to have giant ships alone. It must also be equipped with cannons. After all, the truth is only within the range of the cannons.

This principle applies not only to many countries on earth, but also to many civilizations in the universe. The universe cannot be a warm family.

Competition for resources, ideological conflict, racial confrontation, etc., there are too many places where friction and war are prone to occur. The universe is a dark forest. I want to live in this forest and gain If you have a taste, you must have a strong power.

Once defeated, it may not be ceding land and indemnity. A powerful civilization is rude to a weak civilization. The entire civilization has become a slave, and the trafficked interstellar universe is still a good ending. and even entire civilizations are wiped out.

Only with strong power and being at the top of the food chain can we live a delicious life.

Whether it is the Han Wu Dadi spacecraft or other spacecraft, sooner or later, it will have to leave the solar system and go to the interstellar universe. Naturally, this powerful force is absolutely indispensable.

This secret scientific research base on the moon is now tasked with researching technological weapons suitable for the interstellar space age.

Seeing this, many people will say, can't the current weapons on earth be used for war in interstellar space?

From the most basic guns and ammunition to cannons, missiles, to the most powerful nuclear weapons, from tanks to planes and submarines, these are all three-dimensional weapon systems of the sea, land and air.

Although the war in interstellar space sounds high, it is not a war. Since it is a war, these weapons developed by human beings should be useful.

But in fact, most of the weapons possessed by earthlings have no effect in the war in interstellar space, or the effect is extremely limited, and they can't come up with any killer or ace weapons at all.

Even if it is the most powerful nuclear bomb of human beings, its role in space and interstellar space wars is extremely limited.

Because the interstellar universe is so vast!

Take the nuclear bomb, for example.

A powerful nuclear bomb, especially a hydrogen bomb, can easily destroy a megacity on Earth.

But even if it is a metropolis like Magic Capital, its area is only over 6,000 square kilometers. This area is a very large super city on earth.

But in space, this area is simply insignificant. You must know that in space, the speed of spaceships is tens of kilometers per second.

If it is a space fighter specially designed to attack, its speed can exceed hundreds of kilometers per second, such a terrifying speed, let alone an area of ​​several thousand square kilometers, even if it is an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers , it can also fly out very quickly.

It can even be said that the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion of the hydrogen bomb may not be able to have this speed, and it can't even catch up with the enemy. What are you talking about to destroy the opponent.

What's more, in the environment of space and space, the space is very wide and the mobility is very strong. It is a real three-dimensional war, which is completely different from the form of war on the earth.

As for bullets, shells, missiles, etc., not to mention these, the speed is too slow, and even the butt of the spaceship can't catch up, let alone cause damage to the enemy.

Weapons of the interstellar space age must possess several characteristics.

The speed of the attack should be fast, preferably at the speed of light, because it is fast enough to lock the enemy in the vast void and kill the enemy.

The cosmic space is too vast, and even the speed of light is barely sufficient. If the speed of light cannot be reached, it will be really difficult to hit the enemy.

In addition to the fast attack speed, the distance of this attack must be far away. Guns and ammunition on the earth can attack a distance of several hundred meters, artillery shells can attack targets several kilometers or more than ten kilometers away, and missiles can attack hundreds of meters. Thousands, even tens of thousands of kilometers away.

But this distance is nothing 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 at all.

This attack weapon must attack far enough to be able to attack the enemy.

In addition to the above two characteristics, the weapons of the interstellar space age must also have many characteristics such as high attack power and high attack frequency.

Only weapons with these characteristics can be really used in interstellar space warfare.

The power of this nuclear bomb is great. If it can explode close to the body, a dragon-class spacecraft like the 'Han Wu Dadi' will be blown to smithereens.

But the key is that this nuclear bomb needs a means of delivery, either with rockets or directly with fighter planes. It is definitely not an easy task to attack the enemy's space battleships and spaceships at close range.

Because every space battleship and spaceship is like an aircraft carrier in the starry sky, even 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 escort. It is definitely not an easy task to get close.

In addition to the nuclear bomb, if you want to destroy a dragon-class spacecraft like the 'Hanwu Emperor', with the current technological level of the earth, other weapons basically pose no substantial threat to the 'Hanwu Emperor'. .

Weapons used on earth are weapons used on earth after all.

Some people will say, this is not good, that is not good, so what kind of weapons can be used in the interstellar space station?

At present, only one 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 long-distance targets or to defend against missiles.

The attack speed of this laser weapon is the speed of light, the speed 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 a bit unsatisfactory.

In addition, because the laser weapon is an optical weapon, it cannot be used in all-weather combat, limited by heavy fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain, and the laser emission system is a precision optical system, which is also seriously affected by the atmosphere, such as the absorption of energy by the atmosphere and caused by atmospheric disturbances. energy attenuation, thermal halo effects, turbulence, and attenuation due to beam jitter.

Since the laser weapon requires a lot of electric energy, it is also subject to the problem of high-energy storage batteries. Often, the laser weapon must also be equipped with a power station to supply power to it. 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 weapons of war on earth.

But this laser weapon is actually the predecessor of the energy weapon. Its powerful attack speed and ultra-long-distance attack distance all determine that it is a weapon belonging to the interstellar space age.

The environment of interstellar space is a near-vacuum environment, which will not be affected by rain, snow, fog, atmosphere, etc., and can have a very good combat environment.

Regarding energy consumption, this is nothing at all. Space battleships and spacecraft are often equipped with nuclear power plants. If you master the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, you don't have to worry about energy problems at all.

As for the space fighter, it is enough to have an atomic matrix battery, and the energy problem can be easily solved.

Coupled with the speed of light attack speed and the ultra-long attack distance, it is the most common and universally applicable weapon in interstellar space warfare.

Of course, the power of the earth's laser weapons is still very low, and the attack frequency is also very low. As a weapon in the interstellar space age, it still needs to be upgraded.

Otherwise, using the current laser weapons on the earth to destroy dragon-class spacecraft and space battleships such as the "Han Wu Dadi" is simply a fool's dream.

Stand still, let you attack desperately, and there is no way to cause substantial damage to such a huge spaceship and space battleship.

You must know that the steel plate of the outer shell of the 'Han Wu Dadi' spacecraft is a few meters thick. This is just a spacecraft, not a special space battleship. If the outer shell of a space battleship, it will be even thicker.

Moreover, there are often energy shields and magnetic shields on space battleships and spacecraft. The power of laser weapons is not enough to tickle people.

If you want to become a weapon in the interstellar space age, its power must also be strong enough. Giant ship cannons, giant ship cannons, only cannons can threaten giant ships. If you want to sink a giant ship with a pistol, it is estimated that the pistol will be scrapped. Well, the giant ships are no problem.

The reason is the same. The current laser weapon is similar to the pistol. The power is too low, the attack distance is not enough, and it can't cause any damage to the giant ship. This laser weapon must be turned into an energy weapon and a cannon. Able to generate enough threat to large ships.

Now, this secret scientific research base on the moon, its main task is to research energy weapons.
