The battlefield in the new era is no longer limited to the ground, sky, and ocean.

Space has increasingly become a new battlefield.

Just as aircraft carriers capable of projecting firepower across hundreds of kilometers replaced heavily armored and large-caliber artillery battleships in the mid-to-late twentieth century.

Aircraft carrier, as a symbol of maritime hegemony in the old era.

With the rise of a series of new equipment such as ultra-long-range ballistic missiles and space weapons.

It's already declining.

"We have completed all the design work for the first space armed spacecraft."

In the office, Geng Bo said to Zhang Xingyang.

However, Geng Bo has always had certain doubts about space weapons and equipment.

"Do we really need an armed ship?"

Today, the country has achieved absolute technological superiority in the space field.

Even in terms of staff size, equipment size, etc.

The Dragon Kingdom is many times ahead of other countries.

No matter how you look at it, there is no need for such space force.

The first newly designed space armed spacecraft is not very heavy.

It only has a mass of about five hundred tons.

But it is loaded with a large number of kinetic energy, laser, and microwave weapons.

Four 4mm electromagnetic cannons, six 30-megawatt laser transmitters, and three of the most lethal microwave irradiation devices.

"This spacecraft is only used for technical verification and may not be put into service."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the design drawings that Geng Bo and the others had just completed.

"It's more about verifying the overall construction capabilities of the entire space battleship."

The construction of this space battleship will also be completed in the star port.

"And, who said it can only be used for space operations?"

Zhang Xingyang said lightly without raising his head.

Hearing this, Geng Bo thought of some possibilities and said with some surprise:
"Is it going to be used to carry out ground attacks?"

Zhang Xingyang nodded and said: "Although kinetic energy weapons are difficult to threaten targets on the ground, lasers and microwave irradiation devices can cause great damage to ground targets."

Geng Bo also participated in the space weapon strike experiment a few months ago.

Have sufficient knowledge of the lethality of lasers and microwaves.

Although the laser will be affected by clouds and weather, its power will drop rapidly.

However, as the energy level of the laser increases, the remaining power can still cause enough damage to life and electronic equipment in an instant.

Microwaves, as high-frequency electromagnetic waves, have excellent penetration properties.

Even if it travels through the atmosphere, under the harshest atmospheric environment, it will only lose about 40% of its energy.

"Will this cause some criticism?"

Geng Bo said, recalling the somewhat nauseating image of the microwave shock experiment.

"Does this count as deploying powerful weapons of destruction in space?"

The microwave weapons currently produced by Longguo are very lethal.

It was enough to cause a scene where a large area was wiped out and killed.

"No, look at this."

Zhang Xingyang pulled out a document from the filing cabinet behind him.

"Our powerful weapon modules are not normally equipped on warships."

"But place it in the star port."

"This does not count as deploying powerful weapons of destruction in space."

"Because the star port belongs to our inherent territory."

This document is the consensus reached by all countries at the UN General Assembly just now. It is believed that the internal area of ​​a space vehicle still belongs to the territory of the country to which the aircraft belongs.

In this case, there is no problem in placing high-energy lasers, microwave transmitters and other equipment inside the star port.

Of course, we currently have the ability to do this.

There is only one family in Longguo.

Other countries even want to do this.

They also have no conditions for implementation.

Most of the countries that reached the resolution also guessed what the Dragon Kingdom wanted to do in space.

But there was nothing they could do to stop it.

It can even be said that the Dragon Kingdom proposed this resolution, which to a large extent restricted other countries from causing trouble in space.

Moreover, it also imposed some restrictions on Long Guo itself.

"That's good, it's equivalent to having a trump card for us."

After reading it, Geng Bo felt a little relieved.

Although microwave weapons are not as good as gunpowder weapons in the past, they will have earth-shattering sound and light effects.

But when it comes to killing people, it's more efficient.

And can ignore most defensive measures.

Even if it is hiding under several meters of soil, it can still kill effectively.

The trench warfare of traditional warfare will almost never exist in front of it.

In front of it, humans are no different from ordinary carbohydrates.

In the face of microwaves, the soil layer that was originally able to withstand 150mm high-explosive grenades has become a microwave oven that kills humans.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the design plan."

Zhang Xingyang looked away from the complicated drawings on the computer screen and said:
"After some time, we can start building the first experimental spacecraft."

"It can also help us explore some of the design and construction details of space ships."

The construction speed of the Star Port Dockyard is very fast, which is very different from traditional shipyards.

It can even be said that it is very different from any traditional manufacturing industry.

On the one hand, this is because all its production sites are in a vacuum environment.

On the other hand, it is also because of its manufacturing process.

There is no obvious sequence in the construction process of the spaceship.

This is also due to its design, and there is no obvious difference between the front, rear, and left.

"It's really surprising that Xu Ying and the others completed the construction of the space dock so quickly."

Geng Bo said, thinking of the construction progress that had just been sent back to the ground not long ago.

"Their construction speed is really surprising. Originally, most of us thought it would take 6-9 months to complete the construction of the entire space dock."

Zhang Xingyang had the same idea.

The construction progress of Xu Ying and the others is really amazing. It took less than four months to complete the construction of the first space dock.

A series of processing equipment are all integrated on the slipway.

"We are about to launch the first batch of various materials needed for space cargo ships."

Zhang Xingyang stood up from behind his desk and walked to the window.

The research institute is still brightly lit late at night, and hundreds of researchers are still working hard.

In the sky, the stars are still moving according to their own trajectory.

It seems to be eternal.

But who knows that today's North Star will be in another position ten thousand years from now.

"Soon, perhaps within this year, the first real spaceship will appear in our hands!" (End of Chapter)
