Chapter 129: Dominating Space
Military planes landed in Washington, and in the afternoon, military vehicles drove into the White House. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The huge main White House conference room was packed.
There were commanders and chiefs of staff from all the armies of the Union, and the lowest rank among them was general.
There are well-known professors from various prestigious universities, and the worst of them have also won the world's academic medals.
There are even those from the mysterious "Area 51", who have a secrecy rating of "S-class".
Everyone sat upright, their faces solemn.
Something big is wrong, it's a big thing!
As everyone waited solemnly, President Obama nodded and motioned for the meeting to begin.
"Generals, you are the most loyal and excellent soldiers of the Commonwealth, and you are entitled to receive this news. Now I would like to give you a brief explanation. ”
As the voice fell, an old professor with gray hair stood up and nodded to everyone.
"Gentlemen, my name is Bernal Gary, an astrophysicist. In fact, from the very beginning, our American physics community has believed in little Ike 9 percent. ”
"Yes, it's 9 percent. It's a bit illogical to say, but we just have a hunch that the prodigy Ike's stats are right. ”
"So, while waiting for the light of death from 'Ike' to arrive in the Milky Way, we have been making more detailed calculations of the solar system, and we are making calculations based on Ike's values. After all, the solar system is also part of the Milky Way. ”
"On September 30th, we finally made an amazing discovery. Dear generals, please see our summary ......"
Speaking of which, President Obama handed out a stack of A4 papers in front of him.
The crowd picked up the A4 paper.
The paper is stamped with a "top secret" red stamp, which means that it must be recycled or destroyed on the spot after being seen.
Everyone understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly watched it carefully:
…… There is gravitational attraction between galaxies, and there is also gravitational attraction between stars. Stars "levitate" in the universe because of these gravitational forces that they reach a certain equilibrium.
It will not fall, and it will not detach.
For example, the Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. Of course, there are many, many other gravitational forces at work. For example, Venus, Jupiter, Mars......
They are very close to the Earth, so there is also a gravitational pull on the Earth.
Another example: Swan Sign, Aquila Sign, Sky Arrow Sign...... They are very far from the solar system and from the earth, but they also have a gravitational pull on the earth.
After these many gravitational forces are strengthened and canceled out by the relationship between angles and directions, we are surprised to find that there is a certain time and a certain region between the earth and the moon, where the gravitational force is just equal to.
Gravity!
"What?!"
Seeing this, the commander of the navy suddenly stood up, his face shocked.
He stretched out his right hand and trembled to point to the information in front of him, and asked the old professor, "Is this true?" Is it really equal to gravity? That is, gravity? ”
As the sound fell, all the professors nodded in unison, including the researcher from the space agency, and the weapons experts from Area 51.
Receiving an affirmative reply, the commander of the Navy was completely speechless in surprise.
He doesn't know what to say anymore, really.
To be the supreme commander of a country's navy, he is not stupid. Although he didn't know much about astronomy, he also knew what it meant that gravity equaled gravity.
That means: being in that area is the same as being on Earth!
The commander of the navy lowered his head again and continued to look at the information, he already had some guesses in his mind, so the speed of reading the information was very fast.
A few minutes later, the commander of the Navy had already seen the end of the material.
There is only one line at the end:
"Planetary railgun! True! ”
……
“OH,Mygod!”
"Oh, oh my god!"
"Oh, God!"
One general after another let out a cry of amazement, and everyone was shocked to the limit.
Is it true that we, the United States of America, will dominate space after dominating the world network?
That's a real planetary railgun!
"How?"
A cold, serious voice instantly rang out, it was Hughes Roosevelt's voice.
Hearing this, the old professor looked at Mr. President, who nodded and gestured to speak.
Seeing this, the old professor replied to Hughes:
"In three steps!"
Hughes said solemnly: "Please speak! ”
"Number one: build the parts of the railgun on the ground."
"Second: launch the parts into that area with a spaceship and assemble them there."
"Third: use the spacecraft to tow the assembled railgun back to low-earth orbit."
When the sound fell, everyone fell silent. Whether it's Hughes or the generals, it's all the same.
At this moment, even those of them who are proficient in astrophysics can tell that the success rate of this thing is very high.
Because of the power, the spacecraft cannot carry large objects into the sky, so the railguns of various countries have only existed in theory for a long time. Even if they themselves claimed that the Federation already had railguns, that would be just bragging.
And sending parts into space to assemble them is even more ridiculous.
A casual gravitational deviation can turn into a meteorite. Moreover, people are floating in space, and it is difficult to drink water, let alone assemble precision weapons.
What now? Not anymore!
If there really exists a certain time, a certain area, and other gravity, then let alone assembling railguns, repairing villas and buildings!
……
At this point, Obama spoke.
"How big is that area? How long is that? ”
After a little thought, the old professor replied: "10-20 cubic kilometers, 55 minutes per year, and then it will disappear because of the rotation of the stars." ”
10-20 cubic kilometers, for the range between the earth and the moon, it is as large as an ant in the grassland, which is almost insignificant. No wonder no astronomers have ever observed it.
However, although it is the same as an ant in space, for humans, this space is already very large, and it is enough to hold dozens of aircraft carriers.
However, the time is only 55 minutes, is it too short?
President Obama frowned and looked at the weapons expert.
The two weapons experts immediately stood up and replied: "We are here for this reason, after our calculations, if the parts are designed, they can be assembled in 30 minutes, and then it will take 20 minutes to mount it on the spacecraft and drag it back to low earth orbit." ”
President Obama was extremely satisfied.
So it seems that the United States is about to have a real planetary railgun.
At this moment, not only Obama thinks so, but Hughes, the secretary of defense, and the generals and chiefs of staff think so.
The time has come for the Federation to dominate space, and if it dominates space, it can dominate the whole world.
Everyone was smiling and pleasantly surprised.
It's a pity that they are laughing too early now.
