Jingle Bell.
Chen Yi left the live broadcast position.
When I returned to the base residence, I had just taken out a bottle of Kola when my cell phone rang in my pocket.
Chen Yi took a sip from Kai Le and took out his cell phone to check and answer the call.
"Old Zhang, what do you want from me?"
"Is Yifei really conducting space warfare experiments?"
On the other side of the phone, Professor Zhang asked in a heavy voice.
"Space combat experiment?"
Chen Yi was stunned: "When was I conducting space combat experiments?"
“Isn’t that the drone that landed on the moon today?”
Professor Zhang asked over the phone: "Vertical lift-off and free entry into orbit. This is the standard concept of dispatching space fighters."
"Deploy space fighters."
Chen Yi asked: "Shouldn't a permanent space base be built as a hangar?"
According to the vision of science fiction animation and science fiction.
Build a very large permanent base in space to store fighter planes and Gundams.
When fighting is needed, fighter planes and Gundams can be dispatched immediately, while retaining more energy for battery life.
"You're talking about a period when we're really going into space and establishing permanent extraterrestrial colonies."
"In the early days of moving into space, how could you build such a large base in space? Don't all the fighter planes have to take off from the ground?"
"All right."
Regarding this kind of war deduction, Chen Yi felt that he was not good at it and shook his head: "There are no space war experiments.
I didn’t even know that an aircraft taking off vertically and entering orbit freely is a vision of ground-based space warfare.
However, it is true that this moon landing drone carried laser weapons. "
"."
On the other side of the phone, Professor Zhang's mouth twitched, and he knew that this guy was restless.
"In addition to lasers, are there any other weapons suitable for space-based space?" After thinking about it, Professor Zhang asked the purpose of this call.
"Isn't the laser enough?" Chen Yi asked curiously.
"Lasers involve two key points: light source conversion and light source convergence. There are a few more processes, complexity and efficiency control are not so good, the power is large, heat dissipation and cooling are too cumbersome, and the size is too big."
"It would be best to have a space-based weapon that is simpler, more convenient, smaller in size, and powerful enough."
"If it really doesn't work, you don't need to hit people. Just hit the ground or space equipment."
Professor Zhang stated the requirements for the latest weapons.
"I remember that there is a ban on space-based weapons. The international ban treaty signed during the Big Brother period does not allow research and development and deployment of foreigners. Do we no longer have to abide by this ban?" Chen Yi thought for a while, as if he remembered something.
"International regulations are for breakthroughs. Otherwise, how would Yifei's space-based kinetic energy system come about? Have you complied with the regulations?"
Professor Zhang answered calmly and in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Okay, Qiang Qiang."
Chen Yi was unable to complain. It seemed that he was the first to break through this thing.
"wrong."
"Old Zhang, you are a little strange today."
Just after he finished complaining, Chen Yi seemed to notice something and asked with a strange expression.
"Aren't you engaged in intra-atmospheric aircraft? Why are you suddenly concerned about space-based weapons today?"
Professor Zhang was silenced for a while, and after a long time he said, "Have you not read the planning documents that have been transferred to you in the past few days?"
"I've been working on the machine these days. No, it's still in the safe."
Chen Yi said, went up to his residence on the third floor and opened the safe.
"No need to read, I'll probably tell you something.
The country is planning to comprehensively increase investment in space exploration, space colonization, and extraterrestrial colonization.
According to the preliminary plan, the total investment from this year to the first half of next year will be no less than 800 billion, which is about 13 times more than the previous annual investment.
Congratulations, countries have begun to enter the space competition you triggered. "
"So fierce? Do you have so much money?"
Now, it was Chen Yi's turn to be surprised.
We must know that in finance, there has always been more spending here and less spending there.
Investment in the space program has increased 13 times. With the extra 700 billion, how many other projects will have to be eliminated.
“It’s still thanks to you.
Competition on the other side raises tax rates across the board, which frees up a lot of capital in advance, allowing us to pick up some melons.
In addition, with the addition of Yifei as a catfish, this year's trade and market economic situation will be very good, and fiscal revenue expectations are very good.
In addition to a considerable part of the money being returned to people's livelihood, the rest is enough for several large projects like this.
After all, competition has begun on the opposite side.
We cannot let Yifei, a private company, take the lead.
At the same time, we cannot let the opponent take the lead and formulate future space rules. "
Professor Zhang briefly explained the funding and the purpose of increasing investment from a macro-strategic perspective.
"Is it true that the laser weapons on the other side have other technologies that have made breakthrough progress?" Chen Yi understood now and asked curiously.
As a technical person, Chen Yi naturally understands.
There is a huge difference between crossing the river by following others in the technical field and crossing the river by taking the lead.
According to the situation on the other side, it has more than 70% of the world's high-tech talents, the world's top equipment, and the top laboratories.
Not to mention trying to cross the river by trying to trick others, it is not surprising that there can be actual breakthroughs after being ahead for several months.
He knows how crazy the progress of the Apollo program and a series of other programs were in the last century, when they were competing with Big Brother.
Landing on the moon twice a year is no joke, it is a miracle that no one can replicate yet.
Today's intercontinental missiles, aerospace engineering, supersonic fighters, space exploration, artificial intelligence, computers, the Internet, lasers, global positioning systems, global communication systems, etc., were almost all born within a decade or so of the time of comprehensive competition. The foundation was born.
You can say it without hesitation.
All of today’s technologies are resting on the legacy of that period.
Yes, the opposite side has been really active in recent years.
But the foundation is rich, and this is really rich.
No one dares to imagine how fast the development will be when the opponent starts to fully invest and compete with you.
"According to confidential information, it's not there yet, but it should be almost there. They have solved several core problems."
Professor Zhang replied with a somewhat serious tone: "The details on the other side are beyond everyone's expectations."
“It’s a normal thing.
It has been the world's number one and the only superpower for decades.
Not to mention anything else, the elite talents that have been siphoned from all over the world in these years alone are enough for them to last for a hundred years.
There used to be so many elite talents in the country every year, but they never came back.
Lao Zhang, how many classmates and students do you have who have gone and never come back?
This number is definitely quite a lot.
These are the real wealth on the other side.
Rather than just a few companies or enterprises on the surface.
It's just that in these years, they have adopted the model of the late Ming Dynasty and wasted this greatest wealth, which has not been used. Now that it is working, it will naturally scare people. "
Chen Yi chatted briefly with Professor Zhang for a while and hung up the phone.
The biggest gap between China and the other side, in the final analysis, is actually just one sentence.
We cultivate talents.
Talent comes from across the street.
If it weren’t for the fact that China could slowly retain talents in the past few years.
The opponent has made too many tricks in recent years and has not utilized these talents.
Otherwise, no one can shake the world's number one and global hegemony.
"The centipede is dead but not stiff, let alone not dead yet."
"It's easy to kill an eagle."
"It is difficult to eat an eagle and replace it with an eagle."
Chen Yi opened the safe, took out the sealed confidential documents inside, and looked through them.
It’s similar to the space plan announced opposite.
It's just more refined and more specific.
For example, how many years will it take to carry out production and colonization of the moon and what specific requirements must be met? How many years will it take to carry out production and colonization of Mars and what specific requirements must be met.
From the overall planning point of view, China is completely at odds with its opponent.
“Suddenly I felt a little tearful.
Finally, we no longer need to see protests or condemnation.
Even if they were accidentally bombed, they could only shout serious protests and condemnations with tears in their eyes.
Instead, you can fight back head-on.
It's not even just a direct confrontation, but now it's actually starting to target and compete for the return. "
Chen Yi sighed with emotion.
The prototypes of various weapons came to mind.
soon.
A weapon emerged in his mind.
——Space-based ion cannon.
"Simple, convenient, small in size, and powerful enough in space. This weapon perfectly meets expectations."
Chen Yi recalled the characteristics of the ion cannon.
Because the attenuation effect of the atmosphere on ion cannons is stronger than that of lasers, and coupled with the space-based weapons ban treaty, this kind of weapon is usually only seen in science fiction works and has almost no real applications.
But from a theoretical perspective, there is no problem with this weapon.
Just like the multi-stage spiral coil reluctance Gauss gun that Chen Yi played before, it is extremely powerful.
However, due to cost and adaptability issues, it is difficult to apply it to real wars.
The ion cannon is similar.
The attenuation effect of the atmosphere makes it useless on the ground.
But once the space environment passes, no one can beat it in terms of cost performance and adaptability.
"The real ion cannon's ammunition comes from the high-energy hydrogen ions that are scattered into the universe by stellar radiation and can be seen everywhere in space.
Especially in the solar wind, the concentration of this stuff is extremely high.
Because it does not carry electrons, it exhibits a positive electric effect as a whole and can be collected and stored through an electric field.
These high-energy hydrogen ions are then gathered and emitted through the electromagnetic launch device.
The general process is similar to the electromagnetic gun.
However, the electromagnetic artillery shells here are not metal warheads, but ion beams or ion clusters formed by countless hydrogen ions.
The principle of destruction is mainly through the charge effect.
An ion beam composed of a large number of positively charged hydrogen ions.
Once it hits a target, it robs the target of its own electrons.
Electron transfer can create super strong currents, release energy, and destroy objects and life.
The other is the penetration kinetic energy of the ion beam itself.
But because it is not a physical bullet, its lethality is relatively weak.
If you add a microwave generator and use ultra-high temperature to turn the ion beam into a plasma beam, it can also become a one-stop service for electric barbecue.”
“It’s not difficult to design and manufacture.”
"When the lunar landing drone goes over to deploy the relay satellite and returns to the moon, it will be just in time to pull it out."
Chen Yi confirmed the plan for the ion cannon and became interested in it.
Open the drawer, dig out various materials and start making.
There are only two core modules of the ion cannon.
For an ion collector, just use a coil to create a collecting electric field.
Of course, in the terrestrial environment, hydrogen ions do not exist naturally.
In addition to collecting the electric field, it is also necessary to add an electron robbing field to snatch the electrons from the atoms, break up the little lovers, and create hydrogen ions.
The other is the electromagnetic emission device, which is responsible for gathering hydrogen ions into beams and emitting them.
If you want an advanced version, add a microwave generator and add a high-temperature barbecue buff.
"The high-temperature barbecue buff is a bit unnecessary."
"Fighters and spacecraft equipment in space will have strong high-temperature and high-temperature resistance designs."
"Improving performance in this area will have little effect."
"If possible, increase the power of the ion cannon itself and increase the output power and quantity of hydrogen ions, and the price-performance ratio will be even better."
"Hydrogen ions are positively charged. Once the power and quantity increase, the frontal attack performance will be even stronger.
If a large number of them are concentrated into a certain place on the planet at the same time, it can change the regional electric field of the atmosphere, induce the electric charge that exists in the air itself, and create a super thunderstorm. "
"In a sense, the ion cannon can be regarded as a single weather weapon."
Chen Yi muttered about the weapon characteristics of the ion cannon and began to design the drawings of the ion cannon.
Because this is my first time using an ion cannon, I have no experience.
This time, it took Chen Yi more than six hours.
From almost noon until about five o'clock in the afternoon, various formulas were calculated.
The drawings of the ion cannon were designed and then imported into the production area for production.
Eight o'clock at night.
After more than two hours of production, Chen Yi got all the accessories and assembled them.
It combines the electric field emission technology of ion thrusters and also comes with an ion collection chamber for an atomic plundering field.
The overall shape is similar to that of a large water gun played by children. It was enlarged 10 times and became an object larger than a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It appeared in front of Chen Yi.
On the barrel, coils and capacitors are exposed, as well as a control circuit board.
Give the entire item a rough and wild style.
[Item: Individual Portable Ion Cannon]
[Attributes: energy x28.6, power x37.8, attenuation x2.3, ammunition replenishment x5.7, efficiency x21.6, control x28.8, beauty x3.1]
[Note: This is an ion cannon with reasonable design, powerful power and acceptable efficiency!
Unfortunately, the thick atmospheric environment on the ground is not suitable for its use. Please pay attention to safety when using it. 】
