Chapter 123: Battleship?

The United Space Structures space station program was originally conceived in the Stanford Ring, which uses artificial celestial bodies to rotate in space to generate artificial gravity to meet the needs of people living in space for a long time. The plan has been unveiled since a year ago, and according to the plan, it will initially build a smaller "space mushroom" before moving on to complete the entire large space station.

The program has just begun, and Thomas is hosting the program. Dr. Grint was informed by the board of directors that the joint space structure space station plan would be merged with the Zeus program, and the content of the plan would be greatly adjusted, abandoning the original plan for the construction of the ecological balance circle inside the space station and adopting a new plan.

The abrupt change of plans made Thomas. Dr. Grint was furious, considering that he had spent several years preparing and designing the space station of the joint space structure, and that now, the entire program had just been unfolded and completely reversed. The denial of Dr. Grinter's previous work was the result of something he could not bear.

To this end, Thomas. Dr. Grint objected to the company's board of directors, strongly protested the change of plan, demanded that it be carried out as originally planned, to resign against the implementation of the new plan, and even in his words, what a* Zeus plan, to hell with him! The Joint Space Structure Space Station Program is the real space station program.

All familiar with Thomas. Dr. Grint's colleagues, including his assistants, were well aware of the stubborn doctor's fiery personality. It is quite possible that Dr. Grint will resign on his own initiative, and perhaps in a few days, the project leader of the entire project will change.

But no one thought that Thomas. Dr. Grint was called by the board of directors and left the company for a few days. Dr. Grint will never be seen again in the company. Thomas. Suddenly, Dr. Grint is back. When he returned, to everyone's surprise, he never mentioned the opposition to the change of plan, but instead threw himself into the work with great enthusiasm.

This is an unimaginable result, and even many people are speculating whether the company gave Thomas. What was Dr. Grinter's promise that made him change his mind? In fact, the answer is very simple, in order to convince Thomas. Dr. Grint took the initiative to cooperate, and as the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the board of directors, Raymond Murphy took the initiative to cooperate. Antony personally confessed to him the purpose of Zeus' plan. When I heard that the United States had fully mastered the technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion, and witnessed the operation of the controlled thermonuclear fusion device inside the base, I also met the genius scientist Kevin who completed the device. Professor Adams after Thomas. Dr. Grint was shocked and excited.

What's more, Thomas. Dr. Grintt from Kevin. Professor Adams learned that he had come up with the idea of building a spacecraft in low-Earth orbit, and that the real goal of the Zeus program was to take advantage of the opportunity to build a space station in low-Earth orbit that could soar in space.

As the designer and head of the space station of the joint space structure, Thomas . Dr. Grintt was a pinnacle expert in astronomy and astronautics, and humanity went out of the earth. Becoming a true member of space was his lifelong dream. It is for this reason that Thomas. Dr. Grint would be outraged by the importance of the space station project and the change in plans.

After learning the truth, Thomas. Dr. Grint's anger vanished for a moment, replaced by an incomparable thrill in his heart. Where is it more appealing to build a space station than to build a spaceship that can soar through space? What's more, this is still a spacecraft powered by controlled thermonuclear fusion power, if it can be born in its own hands. Well Thomas. The name Grint can leave an indelible mark on the history of human astronautics.

Thomas. Dr. Grint's initiative led to the unfolding of the new Zeus project. For this Raymond. Anthony was unusually happy. At the same time, he used his connections to persuade the government and the Pentagon to allocate $150 billion to the New Zeus program. After the funds are secured, the construction of the main body will soon begin, and the entire main body will be composed of 2,873 modules of various sizes, all of which will be assembled in space low earth orbit, and the final spacecraft will be larger than the original joint space structure space station. With a diameter of more than 110 meters and a length of about 450 meters, it retains the appearance of a space mushroom, and also rotates to generate artificial gravity inside it.

Although the new space mushroom and the original space station plan have not changed much in terms of overall shape, they have changed a lot in terms of various structures. The biggest change was the abandonment of the original design of the solar power plant. That is, the space station was supposed to be equipped with a huge "solar sail". This part will be replaced by controllable thermonuclear fusion power, and in order to ensure power backup, the entire spacecraft will also have three sets of controllable thermonuclear fusion devices for backup, as well as the newly developed graphene-based micro supercapacitors to ensure that they are foolproof.

In addition to these, taking into account the various situations that can occur in the spacecraft, Raymond. Anthony also proposed to the Pentagon that the spacecraft be armed and rationed to ensure the safety of the spacecraft and the ability to fight back, and this proposal immediately aroused great interest from the military, and after many discussions, this plan was approved, and the military agreed to the armed rationing of the spacecraft, which not only included several of the most sophisticated missile weapons of the United States at present, but also large laser equipment, and moved them to the spacecraft, and the spaceship that was armed almost became a "warship."

In the military's view, once the construction of this spacecraft is completed, the United States will have the ability to strike comprehensively from space to the world, and this all-round strike capability will no longer rely on the fixed-point strike of satellites, but will be able to completely cover the strike, and it can also use the weapons equipped with the spacecraft to kill the space vehicles and satellites of other countries and forces except the United States in an instant, so that the United States will be in a truly invincible position.

The idea of the new Star Wars program has excited the military, knowing that the most powerful weapon on Earth is nuclear weapons at present, and that countries with nuclear weapons have always been cautious and defensive against nuclear threats from all sides. But once the armed spacecraft is completed, then the United States can kill another country's satellite system in one fell swoop in the shortest possible time, without the guidance of the satellite system in the sky, even if the other side has nuclear weapons in the blink of an eye, it will become a pile of unusable garbage, what better way to show the strength of the United States?
