Because the space carrier relies on the rotation of the circle to create gravity, looking out the porthole here, all you can see are thousands of stars that are constantly rotating. It's like the stars are rotating around him.
In this continuous rotation, Cheng Kaitian could occasionally see the star that was not too bright.
At this moment, in the entire universe, the planet closest to us is that planet. But because it is too small and too far away from the sun, it still appears dim.
Looking at the planet that appeared in his field of vision from time to time, Cheng Kaitian's thoughts had become ethereal, and he subconsciously recalled the scene when he participated in the battle near the planet.
The dark red and desolate earth, the deep and dark space, thousands of stars, the shells constantly passing by, and the base suspended in space...
Destroying them is the future hope of human civilization. Not long ago, this goal seemed within reach. But now, the hope that is so close seems to be getting further and further away.
Cheng Kaitian fell into long thought.
What kind of weapons and methods can be used to replace the ecological niche of combat spaceships in the entire strategic system and achieve the originally formulated strategic goals?
after all……
Um?
In a daze, an inspiration suddenly popped up in Cheng Kaitian's mind. His breathing stagnated, and his whole body immediately recovered from his ethereal state. But this inspiration is firmly engraved in my thoughts.
He immediately used this idea as a basis and began to think about its feasibility and other aspects.
I don't know how long I thought about it. I looked at the time and found that it was already past three in the morning.
Even if it is hundreds of years away from the earth, even if it is further than the star Sedna at this moment, the 24-hour clock of the earth's era has been preserved and has been used. The only difference is that time no longer plays such a strong role in guiding people's lives.
He jumped out of bed, threw on his clothes and rushed out.
The first target he arrived at was the combat command room of the space carrier. As he expected, Zhao Changxing was still on duty here and had not left.
The door to the combat command room was not closed, and people were constantly coming in and out. Cheng Kaitian took a look and saw that Zhao Changxing, who was obviously tired, was still discussing the battle plan with the war commissioner, frontline soldiers, commanders and others.
Cheng Kaitian was slightly moved.
For the sake of civilization, Zhao Changxing paid too much.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Cheng Kaitian walked in directly.
There are less than 500 people in the entire space carrier, and there really aren't many identities here.
The discussion is temporarily suspended. Zhao Changxing looked at Cheng Kaitian: "Team Leader Cheng, is there something wrong?"
Looking at Zhao Changxing's face that showed no specific age - in Cheng Kaitian's memory, Zhao Changxing had always looked like this. Some people will believe it if they say he is sixty or seventy years old, but he looks younger. Others will believe it if he says he is only 20 or 30 years old, but he looks older.
The concept of age has become blurred to him. In other words, he is full of vicissitudes and wisdom, full of calmness and determination, and full of leadership temperament, which can make people subconsciously ignore his age.
"Leader, I have an idea that may, perhaps, be able to solve the current dilemma."
Commissar Wu Qinghong, who was also in the combat command room, immediately said: "Team Leader Cheng, tell me what you think."
Cheng Kaitian casually pulled out a chair and sat down, and spoke out his idea slightly unconfidently. He noticed that during the process of his narration, whether it was leader Zhao Changxing or committee member Wu Qinghong, people's eyes became brighter and brighter.
This gave him greater confidence and his narration became smoother.
When he finally finished speaking, Zhao Changxing stood up.
Without actual verification, Zhao Changxing could instinctively feel that this plan was extremely promising.
He walked up to Cheng Kaitian, patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "If this plan is really feasible, then when you go back, you can join the war committee."
A surge of ecstasy instantly surged into Cheng Kaitian's heart. He straightened his body again and saluted Zhao Changxing.
"Thank you leader!"
Becoming a member of the War Council means truly becoming a high-level member of civilization. This is not only of great benefit to one's material life, but most importantly, in this position, one can better display one's ambitions.
This kind of promotion of people directly from front-line combat troops to the top of civilization is not uncommon in human civilization at this moment. You must know that the first generation of war committee members were selected from the game. At this moment, the scale of civilization is too small, and there is really no need to have so many levels.
In particular, Cheng Kaitian has long been under Zhao Changxing's observation line. He has excellent grades, fights bravely, is smart, has achieved fruitful results, and can show the quality of looking at problems from an overall perspective. Such a person, coupled with his achievements this time, is certainly qualified to be promoted.
"Okay." Zhao Changxing turned to the other participants, his expression became serious again: "Go and verify it immediately."
Deep Sky Star, Celestial Base.
Noli Ruoxi watched the display screen slightly nervously, and did not relax until the bright spot representing the supply box slowly merged with the base and finally disappeared.
In the conference room, the civilized senior officials applauded one after another.
This time, the ground supplies only transported less than 300 tons of materials, but this was an extremely significant progress. Because this means that from now on, deep space civilization once again has the ability to obtain supplies from the ground.
At the same time, this also proves that the anti-nuclear bomb, anti-earthquake and other related measures taken by people when building underground bases are of certain use. Otherwise, how could 6.5% of the underground bases be preserved in the overwhelming nuclear bomb attack? How can those sealed electromagnetic railguns still operate?
And, this also proves the most important thing. That is, human civilization really does not have the ability to launch attacks on deep space stars in other modes other than combat spacecraft.
Otherwise, why would they only fire some sparse electromagnetic projectiles from a distance that have no hope of destroying supply boxes and then do nothing?
Noli Ruoxi stood up, his face full of majesty and solemnity.
"From now on, although we are still at a disadvantage tactically, strategically, we have gained an absolute advantage. With the increase in supplies, our base, population, planetary defense system, etc. will quickly recover. When we find Destroy the enemy's large space vehicle and destroy it, and this time the disaster will be over."
"Long live the President!"
People cheered together.
Space carrier.
A commander hurriedly entered the combat command room.
"Leader, our operation to intercept deep space civilizations from obtaining supplies from the ground has failed."
Zhao Changxing nodded.
He had already expected this result.
At this stage, except for dispatching flexible combat vehicles such as combat spaceships, it is simply impossible to achieve effective interception. But without solving the electromagnetic pulse bomb, it was impossible for him to send a combat spacecraft to die.
This feeling of knowing that one's own side has an absolute advantage, but having no way to prevent the enemy from recovering from weakness, and can only watch the enemy grow, is not a good feeling.
Sighing, Zhao Changxing said: "There is no way. At this stage, the enemy has already occupied an absolute strategic advantage. Let's wait for the verification results of our new weapons."
The idea of new weapons proposed by Cheng Kaitian is actually very simple.
The fundamental reason for the current difficulties faced by people is the inability to complete the long-range delivery of weapons. The three elements that make up long-range delivery are: power, speed, and accuracy.
Nuclear missiles have power and speed, but they cannot achieve sufficient accuracy. Electromagnetic gun clusters have speed, and accuracy issues can be ignored by relying on large numbers, but they are not powerful enough.
So, is there an offensive method that can be used in the space carrier with the help of existing resources that can meet these three requirements, or can these three requirements be ignored?
During the long period of thinking, Cheng Kaitian suddenly thought of this attack method.
At this moment, all the factories including the mechanical processing plant and the space dock integrated on the space carrier underwent emergency transformation and began to test and produce a batch of this new type of weapon. After obtaining the exact data from the actual verification, people immediately realized that this weapon was really likely to have practical effects.
After obtaining Zhao Changxing's consent, large-scale manufacturing of this weapon began immediately.
The manufacturing method of this kind of weapon is very simple. It can be manufactured on the space carrier without transporting it from Sedna. I just don’t know if the material reserves are enough.
"Not enough high explosives? Dismantle all the rockets for me! Take out all the explosives! Don't we still have so much fuel? Get it to the chemical laboratory and prepare it for me on site!"
"The steel is not enough? Didn't the rockets be dismantled? Isn't that steel? If it doesn't work, dismantle the interstellar missile! If it doesn't work, dismantle the space carrier!"
"Not enough delay chips? Don't we have chip production modules in our shipyard? Insufficient production capacity? Lower performance! What kind of performance do you want from this thing? If it doesn't work, just use a mechanical delay fuze instead of chips!"
"Not enough manpower? Come on, everyone!"
In the space carrier, both the space dock and the machinery factory have adopted a higher automation model than those factories on Sedna. That is to say, anything that can be completed through automation or robots should never take up labor. Would rather cost more and consume more energy.
But even so, there are not enough manpower now. So, under Zhao Changxing's order, everyone, including Zhao Changxing himself, rushed to the front line of production.
