Chapter 272 [A weapon that fights space-based weapons? 】

As the North American "Defense One" website reported the news, North America lifted the ban on a series of top-secret plans for "space-based weapons" on the same day, and its spokesperson publicly admitted that it had begun to propose such weapons ideas as early as the end of the last century.

And as early as 2012, the Wujiao Building launched the development of the "God's Rod" space-based kinetic energy weapon system. The North American United Technologies Corporation received funding to lead the development. It is planned to complete global deployment before 2024. The system is built at a distance of 1000 kilometers from the ground. on two low-orbit satellite platforms.

One satellite is responsible for communication and targeting, and the other is equipped with a large number of "God's Rod" kinetic energy bombs weighing several tons and about 6 meters long.

North America's secret research and development of space-based weapons has been rumored for a long time, but that's just rumors and speculation from the outside world, without any official confirmation.

But this time it was different. The Wujiao Building not only publicly admitted and released a large amount of previously strictly confidential information, but also announced the upcoming first test, and the location was selected.

For a while, the whole world was in an uproar, and the popularity on the Internet continued to soar.

"Lao Mei is really shameless. On the one hand, she accused other countries of developing and deploying space-based weapons, but on the other hand, she secretly did the same thing, and now she is blatantly exposed."

"The double standards of U.S. imperialism let the world see its true colors."

"As early as 15 years ago, the "National Defense Strategy Report" promulgated by the United States clearly listed outer space, sea, land, air, and cyberspace as the five major spaces that need to maintain absolute superiority. Space-based weapons clearly reflect the The ambition and perseverance to seize the 'dominance of the sky'."

"Do you believe their spokesperson said that this is the first public test? Anyway, I don't believe it. There must have been many test shots behind the scenes, otherwise they would have announced it so confidently?"

"Hey, do you think that the recent mysterious explosion in Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia is caused by old American space-based weapons?"

"Shouldn't be possible. Space-based weapons would be useless if they were that powerful. Although the power of the mysterious explosion seemed terrifying to people, space-based weapons are said to be comparable to nuclear weapons. Compared with the mysterious explosion, it's not worth it." It’s not an order of magnitude at all.”

"The probability of impossibility is high, but it's not impossible. The energy level and power can be adjusted. Wouldn't it be enough if the quality of the metal rod you knocked down is a little lower?"

"That said, it's really possible."

"I think the possibility is still very small. If this is confirmed, the old man will definitely blow his hair. Although Ying Jiang always likes to make troubles, there is still a limit."

"Who knows..."

It is worth mentioning that before this, North America basically kept its space-based weapons program strictly confidential. The impact of the weapon.

Although the electromagnetic gun was only unveiled, no one would believe that it was just that. What was announced behind the scenes was probably a series of electromagnetic railgun plans, land-based defense electromagnetic railguns, ships and so on.

That's where the pressure is.

In fact, some melon-eating netizens’ unfounded guesses were really wrong. Although the Wujiao Building confidently stated that this is the first time to conduct a space-based weapon test and it will be broadcast live globally, in fact they have already Secretly tested multiple times.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. If it is the first time, there are too many uncertainties. If the car is screwed up and overturned, this X will not only fail to pretend to be successful in front of the whole world, but will be laughed at by the whole world. It will be a big shame. Got it, no matter how thick Ying Jiang's skin is, he can't stand it.

……

North America, Lockheed Martin headquarters.

"What did you say? Ms. Marilyn, you came here to tell me that Lockheed Martin is also launching a space-based weapons program?" During this time, Vera was in an office. She was wearing a white lab coat. A bit of coquettish beauty.

However, Vera looked at the head of Lockheed Martin sitting at the desk with questioning eyes at the moment.

"This is a defense contract worth tens of billions of dollars. The United Technologies family can't afford it. With you at Lockheed Martin, we believe we can do better. The progress of the CFR project is unexpectedly smooth. Your contribution Irreplaceable Vera. Because of this, we found the first project of controlled fusion, space-based weapon system is the best choice, we are latecomers, but we can beat United Technologies, and even get the whole contract Order."

Marilyn Hewson talked about this grand plan with a very contagious tone. To a certain extent, Lockheed Martin's CFR project has a late-mover advantage and can carry more kinetic energy bombs into space orbit at one time.

You know, the current cost of space transportation is extremely high, and this is where Lockheed Martin's competitiveness lies.

Marilyn Hewson added: "Wood Corner is particularly obsessed with space-based weapons. This kind of metal rod weighing several tons is smashed from outer space to the surface of the earth at an extremely fast speed, destroying any matter in sight. It is very powerful, comparable to nuclear weapons, but there will be no sequelae, and it is green and natural, which is the biggest reason why Wujiao Building is obsessed with it."

"Comparable to nuclear weapons?" Vera smiled sarcastically, and said bluntly: "Unfortunately, space-based kinetic energy weapons may not be as powerful as you imagine Ms. Marilyn, even the metal rod with the highest energy level, Mastering high school physics knowledge can easily calculate the kinetic energy it carries with the formula '1/2mv^2', and its power is only more than 1 tons of TNT equivalent, which is not as good as the atomic bomb "Little Boy" during World War II. The cost of sending it to space is comparable to a 300-million-yield hydrogen bomb."

With her hands in the pockets of her lab coat, Vera stood there quietly and said, "And don't forget another point. If I remember correctly, the most important substance in space-based weapons is almost Huaguo has it, without it, space-based weapons, no matter how beautiful they are, are empty talk.”

Marilyn: "What substance?"

Vera: "Tungsten, 80% of the world's tungsten is in Huaguo, which almost monopolizes this substance. Not only tungsten, but also some rare elements needed for space-based weapons are all stored in Huaguo. The discovered natural carbyne is also in the hands of the Chinese people, and they also have carbyne alloys. So what I want to say is that even if the Chinese people are one step behind in researching space-based weapons, they still have a considerable late-mover advantage and have the ability to lead North America all conditions."

Marilyn Hewson raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. Vera added succinctly: "We shouldn't make space-based weapons, we should make weapons that can fight space-based weapons."

The head of Loma heard what she meant, and the complete expression of Vera's words should be: to make weapons that can defeat China's space-based weapons.

Because Huaguo has a greater resource advantage than North America, and at the same time, it should no longer question the technical strength of the other party, and must face up to the technological development strength of Tianqing Technology Group.

Obviously, if the space-based kinetic energy weapon system is on par with each other, North America will lose first in terms of quantity. At the same time, the quantity also means the strength of power. The pissing nature of the Chinese may suggest that he will send you a tungsten rod with a mass of more than ten tons. The power is really comparable to that of an atomic bomb.

North America's lead now is only leading, and leading does not mean final victory.

"Weapons for space-based weapons?" Marilyn Hewson couldn't help but stare at the talented girl in front of her with doubts. The space-based weapon system is at a minimum orbital altitude of 1000 kilometers, and the higher the orbit, the more powerful it is. , the current missiles simply cannot hit such a high target.

Villa said calmly: "Give me another 70 billion US dollars and one year, up to one and a half years."

(Ps When I read the previous chapter, someone said that I was copying book reviews, I laughed at that time, I was just eating instant noodles... Uh no, it’s a play, cough, cough, I laughed at that time, It’s obviously the one who used some means to peek at my outline and copy book reviews? Impossible, it doesn’t exist, it’s slander, not to mention my outline leaked, go and change the outline~~)
