After He Mingwen Telescope 1 was deployed to the scheduled orbit, all systems and equipment were able to work normally. This gave all the scientists in this project team a huge encouragement. The first one was successfully developed and deployed in space to work normally. It was a very good start and gave scientists a lot of confidence.

In the next three years, the project team will continue to manufacture five Heming telescopes and send them to the predetermined location one by one to complete the network.

But the Heming telescope is only the eyes and the brain. They are used to observe the aliens and analyze whether these aliens cause harm to the earth. If there are aliens that can cause harm to the earth, force must be used.

Therefore, the deployment of planet-star photon energy guns is also imperative, not only the eyes and brain, but also weapons to destroy the invading enemy.

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Professor, how is the development of the photon energy cannon going?"

Professor Gao said: "We have taken out the principles and design ideas, and the next step is to implement the design ideas!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought about it and asked, "I want to know, since it is called an energy gun, what is its energy source?"

"Using helium III, many planets and planetary satellites in and outside the solar system are rich in helium III, not only on the moon, it releases a considerable amount of energy, and our idea is to control its energy release. , Let its energy burst out in the form of photons, and have an energy gathering process, that is, gather and compress the photons it releases, wait for a certain amount, and then emit it, because the emission is directional and the photons will not be scattered. So people can't even see the flight path of the photon energy cluster!"

After listening to Professor Gao's introduction, Tang Xiaochuan couldn't help asking: "How powerful is it?"

Professor Gao said: "A meteorite with a diameter of two kilometers can be destroyed by three cannons!"

"What about the range?"

"Twenty thousand kilometers! Before the outer meteorite reaches the earth, we have enough time to destroy it with the photon energy cannon!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "What do you mean by destroying? Let the target explode into fragments and spread out, then let the target gasify?"

"The energy group hits the target and the energy is released immediately. The power of the energy release is extremely powerful, and it will produce an explosion effect. Therefore, the hit meteorite will be blown to pieces, and a large amount of debris will still be caught by the earth or the moon. , This does not affect our ability to obtain gifts from the universe!" Professor Gao introduced.

Tang Xiaochuan thought of another question, "If there is another celestial body like the golden meteor the last time, can the photon energy cannon we develop now be able to solve it?"

Professor Gao shook his head: "It can't be solved. It is too big. It is not only large in size, but also large in mass. Even if the six photon energy cannons are fully fired, there is no way to destroy it. As for whether there will be such a large celestial body coming to the earth in the future. Nearby, this is also a future thing, maybe we can develop even more powerful space weapons in the future!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "That's right!"

Three months later, Professor Gao called Tang Xiaochuan again, and the first photon energy cannon was successfully developed.

"This thing is too big and too heavy?" Tang Xiaochuan was surprised when he saw the first photon energy cannon at the sky station.

It has a long dark barrel, the diameter of the mount reaches 15 meters, and the weight is 27 tons. This photon energy gun is equipped with an automatic fire control system. According to the analysis data provided by the astronomical telescope, it can aim and lock itself. The target, the personnel passing through the sky station controls the energy gathering, and fires on the target after receiving the command to fire.

Tang Xiaochuan was surprised: "I want to know how such a big guy transported it from the ground to the sky station? A small aircraft does not have such a large carrying capacity!"

The engineer next to it said: "It's still parts on the ground. We transport the parts and then assemble and weld them here!"

"Is the welding inside the sky station or outside? Is there no problem?"

"Welding outside. Because there are related tools and no oxygen is needed, the local parts that need to be welded are directly connected together with high-temperature bake red and softened. This process makes the welding part stronger because the material is already Penetrate each other without any gaps!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "This method is really good! But this thing will soon be carried on a predetermined orbit by a spacecraft. If you want to try its power, you can't find a target. Isn't it a pity?"

"Boss, we chose to launch today for a reason, because according to the observations of the astronomical telescope, a meteorite with a diameter of 9 meters happened to be coming towards the earth. According to calculations, it will be captured by the earth today and enter the atmosphere!"

"In another hour, wait until the photon energy cannon is deployed on the predetermined orbit and connected to the main control computer of the astronomical telescope to search for the target and fire. Then you can see its attack effect!"

When Tang Xiaochuan heard these words, he became energetic, "Then I will wait and see!"

Soon it was time for the carrier spacecraft to set off. After the energy was added and a comprehensive overhaul was carried out, the carrier spacecraft set off with a photon energy cannon weighing nearly 30 tons.

It took 11 minutes from departure to arrival at the scheduled orbit. After the spacecraft separated from the photon energy cannon, it began to return, while the photon energy cannon remained on the orbit and was remotely operated by the control personnel of the sky station.

"The main control computer has started...and works normally, now it is connected to the network of the Heming No.1 Astronomical Telescope...The network connection is successful, and data sharing begins..."

"Command-search for meteorites outside the sky..."

After the data sharing, the photon energy gun immediately responded, and its muzzle began to rotate according to the coordinate parameters provided by the astronomical telescope.

"A target has been locked, the energy chamber is being charged..."

The remote control staff turned around and shouted: "The charge is complete and you can attack at any time!"

Professor Gao said: "Please order from the boss and try the power of this first shot!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded and shouted: "Fire!"

The staff raised their white-gloved hands and hit the keyboard enter key: "Pop!"

On the big screen, the meteorite moving at high speed instantly ignited a cloud of white light, and the white light spread rapidly to the surrounding periphery at a speed visible to the naked eye. This meteorite was too small, and the energy of the energy cluster instantly vaporized it.

But the matter will not disappear out of thin air. This meteorite will eventually be scattered all over the earth in the form of dust.

After the explosion of the light group, the meteorite with a diameter of about 9 meters disappeared from the big screen, and there was a warm applause in the command hall of the Sky Station.

"good!"

"It's spectacular!"

Tang Xiaochuan was also very excited. This thing was developed by Feitian scientists under the leadership of Professor Gao. Although it has borrowed from the future world science and technology materials, it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of these scientists.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Tang Xiaochuan happily shook hands with the scientists and staff. He also announced that everyone would pay two more months of salary as a bonus. Everyone was happy, and the hall became a sea of ​​joy.

After returning to the ground, Tang Xiaochuan told Liu Zhiyuan the whole news. Liu Zhiyuan is the president of the group. This matter cannot be kept from him. It is also necessary to let him know the news. He will speak with confidence in foreign trade activities in the future. Enough.

"President Liu, I want to hold a press conference on this matter. What do you think?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Liu Zhiyuan understood Tang Xiaochuan’s intentions as soon as he thought about it, and immediately said, “This is a happy event, and it’s an exciting thing. Of course, it must be advertised.” I’m going to make arrangements. I don’t know if the boss intends to release the news. When is the meeting time set? "

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Listen to the boss, it's 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Okay, that's it!"

At ten o'clock the next morning, hundreds of domestic and foreign reporters rushed to the auditorium on the first floor of the Feitian Building. The cameras and camcorders like spears and cannons were all set up, just waiting for the press conference to officially begin.

Before the press conference started, the reporters also had a chat.

"Feitian Technology hasn’t had any news or news for five months. This time a press conference was suddenly held. I didn’t even receive the slightest noise before. How about you? Do you know what Feitian Technology is for this time? Press conference?" a reporter wearing a peaked cap asked the male counterpart wearing glasses next to him.

The male reporter with glasses is a bit fat. He said: "You haven't received the news. Where did I go to receive the news? The press conference is about to begin, I believe there will be an answer soon!"

The cap reporter said: "Do you think Feitian Technology Group has any new products coming out?"

"It is very possible, and this new product is very influential after it has been launched, and it has a very high technological content. Otherwise, Feitian Technology will not hold a press conference for a little thing or for a small product that is not worth mentioning! "

At this time, the host came on stage, and she said to the reporters: "Dear friends from the press, now the press conference is starting, please be quiet, and please invite our boss Mr. Tang to come up and meet you!"

Tang Xiaochuan walked up to the stage empty-handed to face the reporters, "Hello everyone, you must be very curious at this moment about what news we will announce at Feitian Technology's press conference this time. Now I will reveal the answer for everyone. Don't talk nonsense, I It is announced that our Feitian Technology has successfully sent the astronomical telescope Heming-1 to the outer space orbit of the earth three months ago!"

"What? Three months ago, an astronomical telescope was placed on its intended orbit? How come it was announced now?"

The reporters were very puzzled, but at this time everyone was busy taking pictures, videotaping, and listening to what was just recorded.

Tang Xiaochuan continued: “Now I’m announcing the second news. Just yesterday at 7:36 am Beijing time, our Feitian Technology deployed the first photon energy cannon on a predetermined orbit in the outer space of the earth and let It has been networked with the astronomical telescope Heming-1 to realize data sharing. From then on, Heming-1 is the eye of this photon energy cannon!"

"This photon energy cannon can automatically lock and recharge visitors based on the data analysis results, parameters, and coordinates provided by the astronomical telescope He Ming 1. A trace of self-protection capability of space threats!"

This news shocked all domestic and foreign reporters. It was too sudden and too sci-fi. The astronomical telescope to monitor the outer space and the photon energy cannon that can attack the aliens were deployed silently. You must know that Tang Xiaochuan said It took less than five months to deploy astronomical telescopes and photon energy cannons to defend the earth. The speed and efficiency of Feitian Technology are too high, right?

While the reporters were recording the news, they wrote down the next questions to be asked.

"Next, please take a look at the appearance of the astronomical telescope He Ming-1, please look at the big screen!" Tang Xiaochuan turned sideways and reached out and pointed to the big screen.

A deep sky scene appeared on the big screen, a beautiful and deadly deep sky. As the lens moved, an astronomical telescope appeared, which was very sci-fi.

Tang Xiaochuan watched the video about the astronomical telescope Heming-1 being played on the big screen, while explaining its components to reporters. These are not classified. The enemy can learn from its rough design to compose the structure of the equipment, but he does not know the specific layout. , And it’s not clear how useful these devices are and how they are made.

After letting the reporters digest the video, Tang Xiaochuan continued: "Now let’s introduce the relevant situation of the photon energy cannon, please look at the big screen!"

In the video, a giant cannon appeared in the deep sky. It is somewhat similar to a traditional artillery, and it also has a barrel and mount.

"What everyone sees now is a meteorite that was discovered yesterday. It was coming to the earth at the time. This meteorite is 9 meters in diameter. Look at the photon energy cannon, it's going to fire..."

The meteorite turned into a cluster of light shining, and after a few seconds, the cluster of light disappeared, and the meteorite also disappeared.

"How did it fire? Why didn't you see the flying of its shells?" A reporter still whispered in the audience.

Tang Xiaochuan continued: "A meteorite with a diameter of nine meters is too small and too weak in front of it. It is simply a cannon to hit mosquitoes! If our photon energy cannon is to attack a huge meteorite with a diameter of more than two kilometers, only two cannons are needed. It can be blasted into slag. Its maximum range is 20,000 kilometers. Don't ask about the effective range, it is effective within the range of 20,000 kilometers!"

The reporters could not help but take a breath when they heard this. Some reporters remembered that he had said that the earth had a trace of self-protection power against the sky because of it. This is probably a hidden meaning, no. Wrong, the photon energy cannon gave the earth a trace of self-protection against foreign celestial meteorites, but this does not mean that no one will dare to call Tang Xiaochuan five or six in the future.

At this moment, the reporters all knew that Tang Xiaochuan could say no to anyone.

A reporter suddenly raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Tang, can the photon energy cannon attack buildings or people on earth?"

Tang Xiaochuan smiled meaningfully and said: "Its mission is to defend the earth and attack enemies from the outside world! Okay, that's it for today's press conference. Thank you everyone. We have prepared drinks and snacks. You can enjoy them as you please. !"

After the press conference, Tang Xiaochuan learned about the exploration of the outer space by the spacecraft, and learned that there is a planet in a galaxy 4.5 light years away that is very similar to the earth and can be used as a new habitat for mankind.

"It seems we can start the immigration plan!" (End of the book)
