At this stage, deep space civilization must have suffered extremely heavy losses. This kind of loss is not only reflected in the economy, population, and various industrial facilities, but also in the planetary defense system.
Not to mention the space-based electromagnetic guns, laser cannons, etc., at least the various anti-aircraft weapons equipped on the surface have been almost destroyed, right? This means that previously it required a speed of 29 kilometers per second to have a probability of breaking through the defense of more than 30%, but now it may only require a speed of 19 kilometers per second to achieve the same probability.
How could Zhao Changxing miss this good opportunity?
It's just a little bit difficult.
The production of hydrogen bombs was too slow.
There is no technical difficulty in making an atomic bomb, a hydrogen bomb, or a chemical-fueled interstellar missile. The difficulty lies in the lack of raw materials.
Here on Sedna, there is too little fissile material that can be used to make atomic bombs. The atomic bomb is the only way to detonate a hydrogen bomb at this stage.
Strictly speaking, new high explosives such as total nitrogen anion salts, which belong to the category of chemical explosives, can also achieve the effect of detonating hydrogen bombs. But such advanced energetic materials are, to be honest, more technologically advanced than those used to make atomic bombs. At this stage, human civilization has no way to manufacture them.
The five missiles launched previously had consumed all the fissile material accumulated over the years. If you want to make another atomic bomb, you have to accumulate it bit by bit and refine it bit by bit.
This is also the reason why Zhao Changxing did not launch subsequent hydrogen bombs immediately after the five interstellar missiles loaded with hydrogen bombs in the warheads.
"Report leader, we have been working overtime to purify fissile materials during this period. It is estimated that in another two months, enough fissile materials to make an atomic bomb will be ready."
"Okay, when that time comes, let's launch another hydrogen bomb over there!"
Zhao Changxing finalized the matter with a wave of his hand.
"By the way, don't dismantle the 'cables' connected to Space Elevator No. 1. Let's build it into a fixed launch pad."
"yes."
Through the rotation of the Sedna star, the method of "throwing" out the things that need to be launched now seems to have irreplaceable advantages. Of course this method must be retained. It's just that the construction of the No. 2 space elevator was delayed for a while, and the current human civilization can afford to wait.
Zhao Changxing even plans to build a longer space elevator in the future.
If the length of the space elevator cable can reach 30,000 kilometers, then the linear speed at the end of the space elevator will be as high as 5.32 kilometers per second, which is faster than the launch speed of electromagnetic gun projectiles. If the length is 100,000 kilometers, it will be even more remarkable. The linear speed will be as high as 18.32 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to an interstellar missile that has not yet been launched, but already has the speed that it could only achieve by burning all the fuel.
However, it is obvious that the longer the cable of the space elevator, the higher the requirements for material performance. This kind of thing should be done slowly and not in a hurry.
"Although deep space civilization has suffered heavy losses, we cannot take it lightly. We must still go all out in all aspects of construction."
"yes!"
Industrial facilities located throughout Sedna once again entered full power operation. Up to 160,000 adults also worked day and night to produce various materials needed for construction.
Under this circumstance, the first "roller" base was built as quickly as possible. Like the Spark spacecraft, it is in orbit around the planet Sedna.
After the interior decoration and the installation of various equipment were completed, the first batch of residents moved in. And because space was vacated in the Spark spacecraft, the birth ban for adults was immediately lifted.
Previously, due to the limited capacity of the Spark spacecraft, there were only 1,000 newborns available every six months. People had to control their desire to have children and obtain approval before they could have children. Otherwise, the Fire spacecraft will face the pressure of too many people.
Now, with the roller base, this restriction can be lifted. Not only that, Zhao Changxing even immediately began to encourage childbirth.
The more babies the better. There is enough room anyway. The more children there are, the faster the population will grow and the greater the potential for war.
After the first roller base was put into operation, the launch pad located at the end of the No. 1 space elevator finally launched the new interstellar missile that Zhao Changxing had been waiting for.
This time it wasn't that much of a hassle. Zhao Changxing did not even use the method of adding additional launch pads to launch. The missile's speed relied entirely on the fuel it carried.
Its ultimate speed will only reach over 20 kilometers per second. But it doesn't matter. Zhao Changxing is convinced that the deep space civilization cannot even intercept missiles at this speed at this moment.
that's the truth. After more than two months of flight, Zhao Changxing clearly saw 20 gorgeous flowers bursting out from the deep sky star again.
Of the 20 sub-warheads, not a single one of them was intercepted by the deep space civilization.
Now, during this period of time, the facilities that the deep space civilization has worked so hard to rebuild have once again encountered disaster.
"This kind of thing must become a routine." Zhao Changxing set the rules: "With our current production capacity, we can produce enough fissile material to make an atomic bomb in an average year. Then... just launch one missile a year. In any case, deep space civilization cannot be allowed to enter its normal development path."
One hydrogen bomb per year is enough to turn all the hard work of deep space civilization into running water in this year. Unable to build, inhabit, obtain resources, and develop with peace of mind, they have been unable to become stronger. However, our own side is in the process of rapid development. When one's own technology finally develops enough to build a combat spaceship with practical significance, the game will end.
At that time, he will send a fleet to the Deep Sky Star in person, and depending on the situation, he will either kill them all or capture them all. In short, deep space civilization cannot be allowed to pose even the slightest threat to human civilization.
At this moment, a huge amount of materials are being transported into space non-stop, and the carbon nanotube production workshop is producing a large amount of high-performance materials that can be used as space elevator cables every moment. Major military factories are going all out to produce electromagnetic guns, deep space radars, laser cannons, Wu-1 combat spacecraft and other weapons of war. Military industry experts are busy in laboratories and factories, desperately trying to improve the performance of weapons.
Among the many circles of the Spark spacecraft, the children are slowly growing up. The number of roller bases is slowly increasing, from one at the beginning, to two, to three, to four, and now to six.
The completion of each roller base means that the number of minors that can be accommodated has increased by 3,000, which means that the average number of new adults each year has increased by approximately 170 compared to the past.
Space Elevator No. 2 has been successfully completed. Compared with Space Elevator No. 1, it has higher performance. When fully loaded, it can transport an average of 20,000 tons of materials into space every day. As a result, various construction projects were further accelerated.
It has now reached the 255th year of the New Calendar.
In the past few years, every year, Zhao Changxing would launch an interstellar missile loaded with 20 warheads to "greet" deep space civilization. Every year, Zhao Changxingju can see many newly born buildings turning into dust again and returning to the world.
The development process of one party was abruptly interrupted, while the development process of the other party was extremely smooth.
That was the point of that act of revenge.
During this period of time, the "friendly" communication between the two parties has not been interrupted. Even on each other's major festivals, Zhao Changxing and the leader of the deep space civilization, whose transliterated name is "Noli Ruoxi", would send greetings to each other.
At least, in the communication between the two parties, there is no such thing as war.
This situation probably would not have occurred on the original Earth. Zhao Changxing was also doubtful about this. At least, he couldn't see the point of maintaining superficial friendship when the two sides were already at substantial war. Anyway, neither party would trust even a single punctuation mark from the other party, so Zhao Changxing just played this kind of word game with the other party casually.
After another routine launch of an interstellar missile and its successful detonation, some clues from the spy satellite network attracted Zhao Changxing's attention.
After the planetary defense system of deep space civilization has been greatly weakened, one's own spy satellites can also get closer to locations that were simply out of reach in the past. This has greatly improved our observation effects.
It was under this circumstance that spy satellites captured what appeared to be very suspicious large shadows on the surface of deep space stars.
After relevant experts carefully identified it, mobilized spy satellites, and took the risk of getting closer to detect it again, people finally came to a very shocking conclusion.
That is, those shadows are not actually the shadows on the surface of the deep space star, but a specially disguised space base built in space!
Zhao Changxing realized with horror that he had been fooled again.
The deep space civilization should have been determined long ago, and subsequent nuclear strikes will inevitably continue. The construction of relevant facilities on the surface of the deep space star is just a useless effort. Therefore, they shifted their development focus to space early on, trying to complete the development and restoration of civilization in space!
From this point of view, the construction they have carried out on the surface of the deep space star day after day, year after year, seems to be an attempt to restore related facilities, but in fact they are just paralyzing themselves and covering up in space. Just real construction going on!
Maybe they really just built some empty shells on the ground. There may be no equipment and facilities inside, and no one lives at all!
Anyway, spy satellites located in deep space cannot tell the difference between the two.
Maybe when their accumulation reaches a certain level, retaliation from deep space civilization will come, and by then, maybe the whole situation will be completely reversed!
Zhao Changxing's expression became more solemn than ever before.
