Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 424: , Energy weapon

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

Controllable fusion technology has been researched, and gravity technology has been mastered. The conditions of interstellar space are almost mature. As long as the Hanwu Great Spacecraft is built, it will be almost on the journey of interstellar voyage.

However, the huge ships and cannons are not the only ones with huge ships. They 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 the earth, but also to many civilizations in the universe. The universe cannot be a warm family.

Contention for resources, ideological conflicts, racial conflicts, etc. There are too many, too many places where friction and war are prone. The universe is a dark forest. I want to live in this forest and get If it is interesting, then it must have powerful power.

Once defeated, it may not be land-cutting compensation. A strong civilization is rude to weak civilizations. The entire civilization has become a slave. The trafficked interstellar universe is still a good ending. Even the entire civilization was wiped out.

Only by possessing a powerful force can the existence at the top of the food chain be enjoyable.

Whether it is the Hanwu Great Spacecraft or other spacecraft, sooner or later, it is necessary to leave the solar system and move to the interstellar universe. This powerful force is absolutely indispensable.

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

Seeing this, many people will say, can't the current weapons on Earth be used for interstellar warfare?

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

Although the war in interstellar space may sound tall, it is not yet a war. Since it is a war, these weapons developed by humans should be effective now.

However, in fact, most of the weapons owned by the Earth people in the wars in interstellar space have no effect, or the effect is extremely limited, and there is no killer or ace weapon at all.

Even though it is the most powerful weapon nuclear bomb of humankind, its role in space and in interstellar warfare is extremely limited.

Because the interstellar universe is too vast!

Take nuclear bombs, for example, high-power nuclear bombs, especially hydrogen bombs, have an explosion range sufficient to easily destroy a super big city above the earth.

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

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

If it is a space fighter or the like specifically used for attack, its speed can still exceed hundreds of kilometers per second, such a terrible speed, let alone an area of ​​several thousand kilometers square, even if it is an area of ​​tens of 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 have this speed, and even catch up with the enemy, what can you talk about to destroy the other party.

What's more, under the environment of cosmic 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, artillery shells, missiles and the like, let alone these, the speed is too slow, it is simply that the **** of the spaceship can not catch up, let alone to cause damage to the enemy.

Weapons in the interstellar space must have several characteristics.

The speed of the attack is fast, and it is best to reach the speed of light, because it is fast enough to lock the enemy in the vast void and kill the enemy.

The universe is too vast. Even if the speed of light is barely reluctant, if the speed of light cannot be reached, it is really difficult to hit the enemy.

In addition to the speed of the attack, the distance of this attack must be long. Guns and ammunition on the earth can attack distances of hundreds of meters, artillery shells can attack targets several kilometers away, dozens of kilometers away, and missiles can attack hundreds, Thousands or even thousands of kilometers away.

But this distance is nothing in space at all. 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 before it can attack the enemy.

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

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

This nuclear bomb is very powerful. If it can explode next to itself, a dragon-level spacecraft such as the 'Hanwu Great Emperor' will be blown up and broken into pieces.

The key is that this nuclear bomb requires a carrier, either by rocket or by a fighter plane. It is definitely not an easy task to attack the enemy's space battleships and spacecraft directly.

Because every space battleship and spaceship is like an aircraft carrier in the starry sky, it is even more powerful than an aircraft carrier. I don't know how many times.

It can carry a large number of space fighters, and can also be equipped with many small space warships and spaceships to defend, it is definitely not easy to get close.

In addition to nuclear bombs, if you want to destroy a dragon-class spaceship such as the Hanwu Great Emperor, in terms of the current level of science and technology on the earth, other weapons basically do not constitute a substantial threat to the Hanwu Great Emperor. .

After all, the weapons used on earth are the weapons used on earth.

Some people will say, this will not work, that will not work, then what kind of weapons can be used in interstellar space stations?

At present, only one is more likely and the easiest to study is laser weapons.

Laser weapons are weapons that use high-energy lasers to accurately shoot long-range targets or use them to defend missiles.

The laser weapon's attack speed is the speed of light, it is fast enough, and its attack distance is far enough to carry out accurate attacks.

Of course, this laser weapon is not a mainstream weapon now, because the power of laser weapons is still quite unsatisfactory.

In addition, because laser weapons are optical weapons, they cannot be used in all-weather operations. 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. Energy attenuation, thermal halo effects, turbulence, and attenuation due to beam jitter.

Because laser weapons require a large amount of power, they are also subject to the problem of high-energy storage batteries. Often, this laser weapon must also be equipped with a power station to power it, the flexibility is too poor, and the frequency of attacks is too low.

This is why laser weapons have never been able to become the main war weapon on earth.

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

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

Regarding the issue of energy consumption, this is nothing at all. Space warships and spacecraft are often equipped with nuclear power plants. If you have mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, you will not have to worry about energy issues at all.

As for the space fighter, an atomic matrix battery is sufficient, and the energy problem can be easily solved.

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

Of course, the laser power of the earth is still very low and the frequency of attack is very low. As a weapon of the interstellar space era, it still needs to be upgraded.

Otherwise, if the current laser weapon on the earth wants to destroy the Dragon-class spaceships and space warships of the level of the "Hanwu Great Emperor", it is simply a dream.

Where to stand still ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Let you attack desperately, there is no way to cause substantial damage to such a huge spaceship, space battleship.

We must know that the steel plate of the spacecraft of the 'Hanwu Great Emperor' has a thickness of several meters. This is only a spacecraft, not a special space battleship. If the outer shell of the spaceship is even thicker.

And often there are energy shields, magnetic field shields on the space battleships and spaceships. The power of laser weapons is not enough to tickle people.

In order to become a weapon in the interstellar space era, its power must be powerful enough. Giant ships cannons, giant ships cannons. Only cannons can pose a threat to giant ships. If you want to sink a giant ship with a pistol, it is estimated that the pistol will be scrapped. Now, the giant ship did not fart.

The reason is the same. The current laser weapon is similar to a pistol. The power is too low and the attack distance is not enough. It will not cause damage to the giant ship. You must turn this laser weapon into an energy weapon and a cannon. Can generate enough threats to the giant ship.

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