Different from the gloom and gloom in the deep space civilization base cluster, after receiving the report on the attack and looking at the photos taken by the spy satellite, Zhao Changxing, Wu Qinghong and others all had smiles on their faces.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to rely on this attack to achieve the result of completely wiping out the deep space civilization base cluster. After all, the electromagnetic gun projectile is too small, and its main function is to destroy, not destroy.
But even if these psychological preparations were made in advance, the results of this attack were still somewhat unexpected.
In the satellite images, people can clearly see the large fractures and large gaps in the base cluster, and even directly captured pictures of gas leaks and internal fires inside the base.
You know, even at this stage, spy satellites can only get close to the deep space star at a distance of no less than 60,000 kilometers, and even this distance is risky.
However, at a distance of at least 60,000 kilometers, fire and gas leaks, as well as fractures and gaps can be directly photographed. What does this mean?
This means that even from a macro perspective, the damage to those base clusters can be directly detected at this moment!
This attack destroyed at least half of the deep space civilization base. The remaining half are mostly damaged, and they will definitely require endless efforts to repair in the future.
Looking at these pictures, even Zhao Changxing felt a little scared at this moment.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it was us humans who launched this form of attack on deep space civilization first, and not the other way around. Otherwise, our losses would have been heavy..."
At this moment, when the various space bases of human civilization, such as the Spark spacecraft, the roller base, the air-space interactive base, etc., were designed and built, no consideration was given to what to do if they were attacked. Their outer wall armor is generally only a few decimeters thick at most, and the materials are mainly for radiation protection, heat preservation and other functions.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are "thin skinned and big filling".
Armor of this thickness can protect against the impact of small meteorite particles, interstellar dust, and space junk, but it is absolutely unreasonable in the face of war weapons.
Zhao Changxing turned his head and looked at Wu Qinghong and the other members of the war committee.
"We can't always think about attacking others without considering the possibility of others attacking us. Maybe one day, deep space civilization will use the same method to deal with us. If that happens, what should we do?"
The committee members and officials were all smiling just a moment ago, celebrating the huge results of this attack. But at this moment, after thinking for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his face.
If, if this time, our human civilization is attacked to this extent, then, then...
It is certain that the Spark spacecraft, the roller base, the air-space interaction base, the space scientific research base, etc. will all be destroyed without any luck. The tens of thousands of babies, young children, and teenagers living in the Spark spacecraft and the Roller Base will all die. All ground facilities will also suffer heavy losses. Countless people will die, countless facilities will be destroyed, and human civilization will completely lose its corresponding value. Space transportation capabilities.
Moreover, humans will lose any ability to replenish the population in at least 30 years. Because all space bases have been destroyed, there is absolutely no way to rebuild them in a short time. After the base is rebuilt and the embryos are cultivated to grow into adults, it will take 30 years anyway.
And, the most critical question is, if human civilization suffers such a blow, then... will the enemy give human civilization such a long time to rebuild itself?
Just thinking about that situation makes people feel hopeless.
"The attack on deep space civilization cannot be relaxed." Zhao Changxing immediately made arrangements: "In the future, hydrogen bomb attacks will continue, and projectile cluster attacks will also continue. Deep space civilization cannot be given any breathing space. Give them a chance to launch a counterattack against us. At the same time, the war committee must immediately study ways to deal with projectile cluster strikes. This is our most important task at the moment, and we must not relax."
The tragic situation of deep space civilization has provided an early warning to human civilization. This is probably another gain of this attack.
"yes."
No one dares to neglect this issue.
"We speculate that the inheritance of deep space civilization has been discontinued, and our human civilization is not the same." Zhao Changxing sighed silently in his heart: "I should have considered the method of preventing projectile cluster attacks from the beginning, but until I just thought about it now.”
This so-called chronology is not the chronology of knowledge, because all the knowledge of human civilization is recorded in Xiaoxi's database. This era is the era of thought, talent and system.
If those war theorists, thinkers, strategists and others on Earth were still alive, they would have been able to deduce the existence of this offensive method as soon as they discovered the existence of the enemy and make arrangements in advance. Unfortunately, they are all gone. Their knowledge was passed down, but their ideas were not.
"Fortunately, we still have time to grow slowly."
Under Zhao Changxing's order, while continuing large-scale construction within human civilization, there was also an extensive discussion. Finally, after summary analysis and refinement, a plan was placed in front of Zhao Changxing.
"Regarding the defense of bases on the planet's surface, the first thing that needs to be done is the establishment of a deep space early warning system. The deep space early warning system can detect large targets such as interstellar missiles and combat spaceships in advance and guide the next interception action. There is nothing to say about this. Yes, because we have been doing this. As for the attack methods such as projectile clusters, which have the characteristics of large number, fast speed, small size and low mass, and no possibility of interception, the only way we can deal with it is to strengthen our own defense. , fight hard.
Relying on increasing one's own armor to complete defense is not feasible, practical and economical. It is completely unimaginable that any building should have armor with a thickness of at least one meter. Then, the only way to improve the defense is to build all buildings underground and rely on the thick rock formations of the planet itself to complete the defense against high-speed projectiles.
According to calculations, in the face of a micro projectile with a kinetic energy of 150 kilojoules, the thickness of a rock layer composed of various elements and compounds, such as tholin, dry ice, silicon oxide, etc., must reach at least 4.39 meters to achieve a higher level. defense. Under safe conditions, the thickness of the rock layer should reach about 8 meters. Considering that we may face ground-penetrating missiles and special projectiles designed to penetrate rock formations in the future, we believe that only when the thickness of the rock formation reaches about 20 meters can the threat level be reduced to a level that is negligible. "
Zhao Changxing pondered slightly.
He knew very well that in the original earth era, the ground-penetrating missiles developed by people could even penetrate hard granite rock formations or reinforced concrete fortifications with a thickness of up to 100 meters. In the face of this kind of weapon, a thickness of 20 meters is obviously nothing.
However, he knew that the main defense targets of the 20-meter thickness that the committee members were talking about at this moment were micro projectiles and small, fast ground-penetrating missiles. Those large ground-penetrating missiles can be classified into the same category as interstellar missiles. They are protected by planetary defense systems, deep space monitoring radars and anti-aircraft electromagnetic guns. Normally they have no chance of hitting the ground.
What made him ponder was the cost of building artificial structures 20 meters underground.
Compared with the convenient and quick construction of factories, workshops, and bases on the ground, building buildings underground will undoubtedly require several times more time, energy, and resources.
But he soon made up his mind.
For safety, it is worth paying any price.
"Issue a human government order. From now on, all ground buildings under construction will be stopped and moved underground. In the future, all land-based buildings, all built on the surface, will not be approved unless it is truly necessary to be approved by the human government. . All above-ground buildings that have been built now, including Human City, Earth City, and Sun City, must begin to formulate demolition plans. In the future, after enough underground cities are built, all these above-ground buildings will be demolished and all building materials will be recycled. Repurpose.”
"yes."
After finalizing the land-based matters, Zhao Changxing once again looked at Commissioner Wu Qinghong who made the report.
"What about the space base?"
Commissioner Wu Qinghong had a look of guilt on his face.
"After our research, we confirmed that with our current technical means, it is basically impossible to complete the protection of the space base. Currently, the only thing that can be done is to build emergency shelters in the core of the space base. District, and adding more layers inside the space base are just two methods. But...the purpose that these two methods can achieve is only to ensure the safety of personnel in extreme circumstances, and the base cannot be saved."
Zhao Changxing was obviously not satisfied with this result. Not only did he want to protect the people, he also wanted to protect the base.
Just kidding, which space base was not built with a lot of hard work, and how can it be destroyed just by destroying it?
But he also knew that Commissioner Wu Qinghong must have sufficient basis to support his judgment. Otherwise he would not say it in front of himself.
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Zhao Changxing's mind.
“Is there really no way, or is there a way but we didn’t think of it, we’ll find out when we try it.”
Zhao Changxing stood up, and his expression became serious again: "Order, launch a projectile cluster attack against the deep space civilization again. Let the deep space civilization help us think about how to deal with this attack. If they can't figure it out, we will keep attacking. , until they are all killed.”
