Chapter 20 The World Represented

Checking the data in his hands, the dark-skinned but very handsome Chinese young physicist Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.He put down the detection data in his hand, and said, "Sure enough, it really can't be detected."

His mentor, academician Ding, who leads many large-scale aerospace projects and secret national defense projects in the country, is not as downcast as he is, but has a calm attitude. Academician Ding said: "This is also natural, the other party is different from our technical level Too much, and judging them with what we understand might be like a group of Neanderthals judging modern human nuclear reactors with their skill at drilling fire."

Ye Qing thought for a while, and said: "Our intelligence personnel have received information from the United States that the US military has not received any electromagnetic signals from alien fighters during the San Francisco incident, so those warships in Earth orbit are also It should be the same technology used."

Academician Ding said: "This is not surprising. If we can detect it with various methods, then it is a questionable thing."

China just built the world's largest single-aperture radio telescope FAST this year, and it is also one of the world's most powerful astronomical detection tools.It can not only detect celestial bodies such as pulsars thousands of light-years away, but also can be used as a super-giant passive strategic radar due to its high sensitivity.But even with such a powerful astronomical detection tool, it still hasn't detected any information about the mysterious alien fleet.This can't help but make people feel very powerless.

The difference between the two is as much as 40 years, but they are both top geniuses in this country.In order to deal with this unprecedented crisis of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, China established the "Office of Countermeasures for Extraterrestrial Contact", which convened elites from various fields and was directly responsible to the National Security Commission. The means to defend the country and its people in a crisis.Both Ye Qing and Academician Ding were elected to this countermeasure office.

Liu Tong, an official of the State Department who was airborne to serve in the office, hurried in from the outside and said to the two: "The Americans are still excluding us at this time and refuse to reach any negotiation and cooperation mechanism with us. Solve the problem yourself."

After hearing Liu Tong's words, Ye Qing sneered, and said, "Fix it yourself? They haven't cleaned up the mess in San Francisco. Our country is generally stable, and our production and life have not been disturbed too much. I heard that the United States has already Riots of different scales have occurred in more than 20 cities, and the National Guard has already been dispatched. I can’t take care of myself, and I want to take care of aliens. It’s a dream.”

Academician Ding frowned, and said: "The Americans are used to being arbitrary, but at this juncture, they can't let them mess up. The Americans refuse to cooperate with us. I'm afraid they already have their own plans, and It would definitely be a bad idea."

Facts have proved that Academician Ding's speculation is extremely correct.

After more than four hours, China's missile defense system detected a large-scale missile target in the United States and was launched almost at the same time.

Ye Qing looked at the drawn images on the monitor in the office, his scalp felt numb, and he said loudly: "The Americans are crazy!"

Liu Tong was also horrified by the actions of the Americans. He checked the information he had and said, "The 90th, 91st and 341st Strategic Missile Wings in the United States, which maintain a high level of combat readiness, have deployed more than 70 strategic ballistic missiles in total. , They have no reason to fight a nuclear war at this time, that is to use nuclear weapons to bombard the alien fleet! Dr. Ye, do you think the Americans may succeed?"

Ye Qing shook his head again and again: "The lethal effect of nuclear weapons in outer space is far less than that on the ground. Without air, the shock wave that can cause the greatest damage in nuclear weapons will no longer exist. The greatest damage caused by nuclear explosions in space comes from various sources. Radiation, high heat, and neutron jets, etc., will also have a smaller killing range than a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere.

But this is not the biggest problem in this attack. The missiles used by the Americans should be Minuteman III, and the alien fleet is on an orbit 20 kilometers from the surface of the earth. Ordinary ballistic missiles cannot be fired at such heights. of.Since the Americans are rushing to shoot missiles, it means that these weapons have been urgently improved, and they are even secret weapons that the United States has been hiding.It is not enough to be able to fight so far. This is the first time that human beings have purposefully conducted actual combat against space and aerospace targets. There is a huge disconnect between tactics and reality. We do not know whether the United States has done relevant pre-research and deduction.

One of the most important issues I can think of is the probability cloud theory of space warfare.This is a pretty central part of what people speculate about space warfare.The speed of light in a vacuum is constant, and one party's observation of the long-distance enemy's autonomous maneuvering aerospace weapons will be affected by the delay effect.The distance of one light second is about 30 kilometers. Now the alien fleet is about two-thirds of a light second away from the earth, so even if we conduct real-time optical observations, what we see is only the image of the other party two-thirds of a second ago.If the opponent continues to maneuver, it is absolutely impossible for the weapon aimed at the opponent's target to hit the target.Even with directed energy weapons.Therefore, in space warfare, a rough calculation of the probability cloud space can only be made based on the relative position of the opponent and its motion performance.This is a question of quantum mechanics. The target position of our attack may be any three-dimensional coordinate point in the probability cloud. The better the opponent's maneuverability, the greater the initial velocity and acceleration, and the more flexible the steering, the larger the probability cloud will be. , the probability that we hit is lower.

However, the biggest problem for Americans right now is that their weapons are not directed energy weapons and cannot reach the speed of light.Judging from the missiles they launched, it is actually a modified version of a large rocket, which exceeds the first cosmic speed and is smaller than the second cosmic speed, that is, above Mach 23 and below Mach 33.And this speed can only reach the level of five or six digits after the decimal point of the speed of light.Because the Americans do not have the radar guidance technology for alien fleets, it is basically only inertial guidance, and the deviation of inertial guidance is not discussed. It is just that when the opponent detects that the Americans are launching missiles, they make a slight displacement. The Americans The nuclear bomb cannot hit.The nuclear explosion has a poor damage range in space. Even if the Americans use fixed-depth detonation and multiple damage surface effects to form a damage range area, I don’t think this damage range area can completely cover the space warfare probability cloud of the alien fleet. . "

Liu Tong didn't quite understand what Ye Qing said, so he naturally didn't understand it. From his understanding, although he didn't know what the probability cloud was, he simply thought that the aliens' technology is so powerful that the vacuum weakened version Even if the nuclear explosion hits the alien fleet, it may not cause any real damage.

Liu Tong asked curiously: "Don't Americans understand what Dr. Ye said?"

Academician Ding answered this question for Ye Qing, "It is impossible for them to understand that the US's achievements in space warfare, basic physics, game theory, etc. are not comparable to our country's decades of catching up. Deep reserves are still our teachers. However, the person who makes the decision will not be a physicist, and in such a situation, people will always have some luck. They will think, what if they hit ?”

Liu Tong was surprised: "Are you pinning your chance on such an unreliable gamble?"

Academician Ding said: "There is no way, the appearance of aliens has completely broken the balance of power on our planet, and it has also seriously threatened the existence and international status of the United States. Yes, but Americans have such a strong savior complex that they cannot get out of this trap. Aliens do not communicate with the earth, and they look like a menacing military invasion. It is impossible for the Americans not to react, even if no effect."

Liu Tong's voice was a little out of tune, and he said in disbelief: "The Americans are so irresponsible! If the aliens really turn their anger on the earth, then people all over the world will suffer!"

Academician Ding was not surprised by this, but said flatly: "Yes, it is actually the same as the nuclear bundling back then. Even if the United States is going to die, then the whole world will die along with it."

Ye Qing snorted, and said: "To use the current language, the people of the whole world are 'represented' by the United States."
