A trillion dollars!

Rao is Karenia's psychological instinct is very good, and she was also stunned by this huge astronomical number at this moment.

As the saying goes, you know your own affairs. Karenia is naturally very aware of the current state of the country's economy. Not to mention a trillion dollars, even if it is 100 billion dollars, it is not something that the current economic strength of the Soviet Union can afford.

Seeing Karenia's stunned appearance, Yang Weiping was very satisfied with the shocking effect he created. Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Karenia's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a daze, my lord. You know, at that time, I was also shocked by this big deal made by the Americans. If this plan is implemented, then the United States can indeed build an "absolute defense" defense system on its own soil. However, although the idea is good, it is not easy to put it into practice. ”

Karenia took three deep breaths and regained her usual composure, "Has this plan been implemented now?

"If you want to fully understand the Star Wars program of the US imperialists, then you must first understand the background of the reasons why this plan came into being. Yang Weiping lit a cigarette and said eloquently while smoking: "This is very helpful for you to make the right response." During the Cold War, the United States formed a theory of 'balance of deterrence' in the course of engaging in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.

The core of this theory is that the United States must possess enough nuclear weapons to be able to deal a fatal blow to the Soviet Union even after a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union. In the same way, the same is true of your Soviet Union. The consequences of this death made the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, dare not take nuclear weapons lightly.

The "Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty" signed by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1972 confirmed the rules of this arms race. The main content of this treaty is to limit the deployment of missile defense systems. However, it did not block the door to the development of missile defense technology. In accordance with Alipay, the "ABM Treaty" and related protocols, both the United States and the Soviet Union have built large anti-missile bases. U.S. imperialism was built in North Dakota to protect ICBM bases there. You have chosen to protect Moscow.

Due to the limitations of the "ABM Treaty," neither the United States nor the Soviet Union was able to build a larger-scale missile defense facility at that time, so that even though both sides possessed the capability to destroy each other several or even dozens of times, there was no certainty that this plan would win a nuclear war in a preemptive manner. It can be said that it was precisely this "ABM Treaty" that brought the strategic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union to a state of relative balance and stability.

After Reagan was elected president of the United States, Daniel Grahan, then a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general, presented Reagan with a white paper. The cover title of the book is "Space Frontier". The main content of the book is to envision how to use space to build a three-dimensional missile defense system. to defend against an alien nuclear raid. We will not let our nuclear facilities lose the ability to fight back in the first wave of strikes.

This idea was exactly what Reagan wanted, so he took a keen interest in this plan and asked the Pentagon to start working on this huge plan. However. Such a plan is for the US imperialists. It's so hard to weave it. Because the United States has never had experience in preparing such programs. There is not even a little sensory understanding, and in addition, the scientific researchers of the US imperialists are laymen in the preparation of macro plans, so they say. It is very difficult for the US imperialists to complete such a huge project on their own.

In a situation where they are helpless, the CIA can learn from China. Because Huaxia has a very unique macro strategy. As you know, Huamei is in the honeymoon period, and there are many related military exchanges. The CIA came up with this proposal because they were surprised by the fact that even though China had experienced a decade of civil strife, some of its military technologies were not lagging behind.

When listening to Huaxia's briefing on Huaxia's macro strategic concept, the US personnel immediately became extremely interested in Huaxia's original '640 Project'. ”

"Project 640? I seem to know a little bit about this project. Karenia muttered to herself thoughtfully.

Yang Weiping laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm not surprised that you know about this project. This is because even since the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations in the early sixties and the fact that they have fallen to an all-time low, there are still many people in China who have unrealistic illusions about the big brother of the Soviet Union. This also allowed the KGB to know a lot of military information about China at any time through these people. ”

The main reason why Yang Weiping agreed to transfer backbone forces from the Tiangong Shi Yàn room to participate in the Star Wars program of the US imperialists was based on the "640" project.

The sixties of this century can be said to be the most strategically dangerous period for China. On the one hand, Sino-Soviet relations broke down, and the Sino-Soviet border was heavily armed. Successive military exercises have proved that if the mechanized troops of the Soviet Union start a war, they can advance from Zhangjiakou to the capital within a few hours. On the other hand, the nuclear weapons of the United States and the Soviet Union were all aimed at China, and China not only did not have nuclear weapons, but also had no way to prevent them, and was completely in a situation of being passively attacked.

Based on this crisis situation, on December 25, 1963, after listening to the report on China's strategy, Taizu immediately stated: We must have nuclear weapons! But no matter how we do it, we will not be able to get rid of others. Financial resources are first and foremost an issue, and at the same time, we are a strategic defense country, so while we are engaged in offensive nuclear weapons, we will see if we can develop defensive equipment.

On February 6, 1964, Taizu met with Qian Lao, then vice president of the Fifth Academy of National Defense, and discussed missile defense weapons with Qian Lao. If it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and if it doesn't work in ten years, it will take fifteen years. In this way, the "Huaxia Missile Defense System and Anti-Satellite System", codenamed "Project 640," began to be officially launched and carried out in secret.

During his tenure as director of the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Yang Weiping also attached great importance to the "640 Project". Because it was one of the few top-secret projects that was not affected during the decade of civil unrest. This top-secret project consists of five systems engineering:

First, the counterattack No. 1 low-level hypersonic interceptor missile system (that is, the current "rubber galoshes" system of the Soviet Union. This missile defense system was deployed by the Soviet Union in 1970 and was the only missile defense system in the world before the nineties)

Second, counter the No. 2 low-level interceptor missile system.

Third, the counterattack No. 3 high-level interceptor missile system (the above two items are the so-called double-layer interception concept).

Fourth, counter the No. 1 anti-satellite laser system.

5. Strategic early warning system (including 7010 phased radar system, 110 single pulse tracking radar system, satellite tracking and control wind system, 180 single pulse precision measurement radar, and Yuanwang tracking and guidance system)

Although the things researched by this plan are relatively backward in Yang Weiping's eyes. For example, the "Pioneer" cannon made in Huaxia is used to fight missiles and so on, but Yang Weiping does not feel that this concept is backward. Moreover, in this regard, Huaxia has accumulated a lot of valuable "actual combat" experience. In particular, the "Huhai Laser Research Institute", which was specially established for this project at that time, is a milestone in the development of Chinese laser weapons to this day (code name 640-3).

When the US side learned that Huaxia had been working on a missile defense system, it immediately asked Huaxia to assist in compiling the US "Star Wars program." He also proposed that China and the United States should adopt further in-depth cooperation in this regard. When the U.S. side made this request. Yang Weiping is still in the post of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and of course he raised his hands in favor of this.

Yang Weiping knew that the U.S. imperialists actually valued the concept of Huaxia, which meant that the U.S. imperialists only needed Huaxia to help them complete the macro plan. As for the study of weapons. Chinese people don't want to get involved. This wishful thinking of the US imperialists. Yang Weiping will let them get their wish.

Historically. At that time, China had just implemented reform and opening up, and a large number of military enterprises were converted into private enterprises, so a large number of military technicians were idle. In this case. Deng Lao agreed to send three batches of a Chinese military industrial team totaling more than 870 people to the United States to assist in the preparation of the plan, and the United States gave a large amount of labor fees to Huaxia. Although Huaxia got a large amount of US dollar foreign exchange, it ended up losing a lot. Because after the failure of the "peaceful evolution" conspiracy of US imperialism, most of these military technicians were detained in the United States to serve the United States.

In this life, Yang Weiping will certainly not let the conspiracy of the US imperialists succeed. He not only sent more military technicians, but also painted a big pie and asked the US imperialists to offer to let the Tiangong Shi Yàn Office also participate in this plan. Naturally, the more than 1,000 military technicians in China all stayed in the Tiangong Shi room.

Under the promotion and intervention of Yang Weiping, the United States, Britain, China, and North Burma worked together, and on May 8, 1985, the famous Star Wars program was released four months later than the same period in history.

Due to the influence of Yang Weiping's "butterfly flapping wings", although the Star Wars project was released four months later than in history, the scientific and technological value contained in it is stronger than the original Star Wars plan, and its progress is also smoother.

The entire Star Wars program, consisting of the "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Defense Program" and the "Anti-Satellite Program", is expected to cost a trillion dollars and equip the troops in ten years.

The goal of the program is to establish a multi-layered, multi-means integrated defense system for anti-ballistic missiles. The first defense layer is the booster stage, the second defense layer is the post-booster stage, and the third defense layer is the interrupted interception layer, that is, the first two layers of missile warheads and penetrating devices that have missed the net before re-entering the atmosphere. The fourth layer of defense is the terminal interception layer, that is, the interception of warheads after re-entry into the atmosphere. If this plan is realized, the total interception rate of incoming missiles will be as high as 99.999 percent! In this way, even if the United States is put in a safe, it will not have to worry about ending up with its opponent in a nuclear war.

And the "anti-satellite program" is, in fact, an integral part of the strategic defense system. That is, the surveillance system of the space base is used to monitor the enemy's satellites and, if necessary, to order the space-based or land-based directed energy weapon system to destroy the enemy's satellites.

Since satellites play an irreplaceable role in surveillance, early warning, communications, navigation, and so on, an important task of the US strategic defense system is to render the other side's satellites useless. The main weapons of the Star Wars program are space-based directed energy weapons (such as hydrogen fluoride chemical lasers, nuclear energy, X-ray lasers, excimer lasers with space-based mirrors, neutral particle beam weapons) and kinetic weapons (non-nuclear interceptor missiles, hypervelocity electromagnetic guns, etc.).

After listening to Yang Weiping's introduction to the causes and consequences of the "Star Wars" project and the core concept, Karenia was even more eager to get the blueprint of this plan from Yang Weiping. At the same time, she is also very glad that she finally found the right person, knowing that this time it will definitely not be in vain.

And Yang Weiping revealed so much to Karenia, and even did not hesitate to say the concepts of space-based directed energy weapons and kinetic energy weapons, naturally he was telling Sù Karenia that it is not impossible to get all the plans, provided that you Su Lian can exchange something.

Although Yang Weiping is dissatisfied with many things in China, he is still deeply pleased that the Chinese version of the "Space Frontier" project based on the "640 Project" is still being carried out in secret. Of course, he won't confess to Karenia.

As far as Yang Weiping knows, the scientific research team with a group of senior scientific research workers such as Qian Lao as the core has begun to study Huaxia's Beidou positioning system, Huaxia's laser weapons, Huaxia's electromagnetic cannons, particle cannons, and photon torpedoes. In particular, the Shenzhou project, which was launched in 83, was customized for the development of these weapons.

Not long ago, in order to play a deterrent role against the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, Huaxia successfully destroyed a meteorological satellite with a missile, thus proving to the world that Huaxia had initially mastered the technology of attacking satellites with missiles. It's just that this technology is not very mature and quite cumbersome. Refueling alone can take hours, and the large amount of space junk after hitting a satellite is also a major problem to solve.

Yang Weiping actually knew that Huaxia did not want to use this missile to achieve the effect of anti-satellite. The truly secret anti-satellite weapon is a laser weapon. Under the advocacy of Yang Weiping, Huaxia has made great progress in the research of self-homogenous electron laser (FEL) and chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL), and has formed a laser weapon with completely independent intellectual property rights. At present, this laser weapon base is deployed in the Tianshan Mountains, codenamed "Death Light A". Huaxia has used this laser weapon to carry out practical operations on the United States, Soviet Union, and Japanese satellites flying over Huaxia on many occasions, and has completely mastered the blinding technology.
