Chapter 803: A Target Twenty Thousand Kilometers Away
With a movable roof of several hundred square meters, this is definitely a big deal.
The group walked around the inside, and the time was not early, so they began to return again.
The dinner was arranged by Director Cao, and Xu Ziling didn't want the launch center to break the bank, but even the first and second leaders who came said that it was due, so he gave up.
The launch center is located in the desert, and only a very small amount of land can be planted with some crops, so the vegetables and other things that are eaten daily are basically provided from the city more than 200 kilometers away.
Compared with the southern cities, there are definitely not so many dishes that can be eaten here, but there is also a local style, for Xu Ziling and the others, it is a fresh experience, so a meal is a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
The next day was the time for the space-based weapon test, so early in the morning, everyone got up, even Yang Ruolan.
After having breakfast in the restaurant of the guest house, Director Cao came over.
After learning that he had already eaten, several people did not waste any more time, and each got into the car and headed for the secret base where they had been yesterday.
The country also has a space-based weapon project, Xu Ziling also went to see it once, he said something at the beginning, so when his project was launched, the country also looked for him, but he used this as a test thing as a reason, and did not disclose the relevant technology and progress.
Because Xu Ziling did come up with a few important techniques before, and then he didn't produce the laser car again, so he really thought that the two laser weapons he made were defective, so he didn't set up any obstacles, but gave some support.
Just like this test, when they contacted the launch center, after they reported it, the state not only replied immediately, but also deliberately approved a scrapped satellite as their goal today.
Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the base, and the technicians from the military factory arrived one step ahead of them.
When I saw Xu Ziling and a few of them, I greeted them one by one.
They were all acquaintances, exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and then went to work.
The scrapped satellite of this target is a 20,000-kilometer high-orbit satellite, and it is expected that it will reach the best firing position at 10 o'clock in the morning.
After nearly 100 people were busy for two hours, all kinds of equipment, all kinds of instruments, technical personnel from the military factory, and people from the launch center who came to help, finally all the equipment was installed.
"Okay, hurry up and test it to see if there is a problem, and then make the most advanced pre-attack preparations for the weapon, the time is only half an hour, everyone hurry up." Xu Ziling, as the commander-in-chief, looked at the time and kept urging the people below.
"Understood!"
β¦β¦
Twenty minutes later, all the instruments were tested, and the news from all sides was summarized, Xu Ziling nodded, signaling everyone to pay attention to the satellite image on the screen.
Calculate the precise angle and distance of the satellite, adjust the space-based weapon fixed on the launcher, and then fine-tune the muzzle to wait for the best time to fire.
Five minutes.
Four minutes.
β¦β¦
"The countdown to the minute begins."
"Preparations for the attack are complete."
"Observation No. 1 is normal."
"Observation No. 2 is normal."
The countdown began, and all kinds of orders and reports came and went in the wide hall, and the person in charge of the launch center, Zhang Lao, Xu Haoran and others, who were watching the ceremony, were all closed and condensed, without making a sound, so that the air was filled with this tense atmosphere.
β10β
β9β
β8β
β¦β¦
After the last ten seconds of the countdown, the atmosphere became more and more tense, even Xu Ziling, at this moment, he only felt that his heartbeat began to speed up.
β4β
β3β
β2β

"Attack!"
When the words fell, everyone only felt a slight "buzzing" sound, and then a hot feeling came from their faces......
The red laser beam shot up into the sky, and the heat source detection instrument burst into the red area.
In less than two seconds, the thermal sensation no longer increases, and the laser beam disappears.
The space-based weapons erected on the launch stand had regained their previous calm, as if the attack had not occurred before if it weren't for the heat still emitting from the air.
"Playback...... Playback ......"
In addition to the staff, people, including Zhang Lao, all looked at the laser when the space-based weapon was buzzing, completely ignoring the real-time strike screen on the screen.
Realizing that he had missed the most exciting place, Zhang Lao couldn't wait to let the staff replay the picture of the laser attack just now.
The first time he saw a weapon attacking a target tens of thousands of kilometers away, Xu Ziling was also quite shocked, compared with the previous laser car, space-based weapons are much "hotter......
In the past, when testing the laser car, they were a hundred meters away, and at the moment of launch, there was not much heat, but as for the space-based weapons in front of them, they were already hundreds of meters away, but there was still plenty of heat in the air, as if they had been roasted by a fire, and the heat was really enough.
I don't know if the people of the United States have detected it at this time?
"Slow down, slow down ......"
The playback of the picture attracted everyone's attention.
The first time, I saw a red beam appear, and the scrapped satellite in the original picture was completely covered, and after two seconds, the laser beam disappeared, and the satellite disappeared.
The picture is scanned by satellite, and it is very clear, but the time of two seconds and the blink of an eye is not much longer, which is too unpleasant for everyone who is curious, so at the request of Zhang Lao, the staff began to play it back over and over again.
Ten times the slow replay, it is still a state of reluctance to see the satellite disappear.
100 times, 1000 times......
Fortunately, the satellite is more advanced than today's highest-speed cameras, and after a few replays, everyone finally saw the image of the satellite being swallowed by a laser beam on the screen.
"Light weapons are different, I think at the beginning, I took someone to get artillery, a person can after the launch, and then slowly pick up the telescope to observe the drop point, this thing is good, even staring, can't see clearly, too fast......"
After a few times, Zhang Lao said with emotion.
The gravitational pull of the earth has no effect on the speed of light, but what about kinetic energy......
After the artillery is fired, if it is far away, it is normal to see the landing point of the shell after a while.
There is really no comparison between the two different types of weapons.
Most of the people here have never seen laser weapons, and they are a little shocked to see that they can "disappear" a satellite so accurately at a distance of 20,000 kilometers.
The funny thing is Yang Ruolan, she whispered, "This has a range of more than 20,000 kilometers, if you attack the ground, won't it penetrate the earth?" β
Hearing her remarks, Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly.
It wasn't until everyone looked at him and didn't know what to say that he stopped and repeated Yang Ruolan's words to everyone.
I have to say that everyone was "shocked" by her statement, but they were not as arrogant as Xu Ziling, and they were not embarrassed to laugh, but looking at their expressions one by one, they also knew that this statement was too "thunderous".
Yang Ruolan just didn't know for a while that this laser weapon and a firearm actually have the same place, that is, the range does not mean that in any case, this distance is effective, such as a pistol, when shooting a steel plate, it may penetrate within ten meters, and then, the warhead is still lethal.
But at a distance of fifteen meters, penetrating the steel plate is not lethal at all. And what about laser weapons, the same is true, a meter or even ten meters thick steel plate is still lethal after penetration, but what about after penetrating a kilometer or ten kilometers of steel plate?
Not to mention that it can't be penetrated, even if it does, it probably doesn't have much power.
So after seeing Xu Ziling teasing, she immediately realized her mistake.
was a little blushing for a while, and then when she saw Xu Ziling make her words public again, her pretty face immediately turned crimson, pinched Xu Ziling's waist fiercely, and glared at him a few times, which can be regarded as venting her unhappiness.
Of course Xu Ziling didn't have any ill will towards his fiancΓ©e, just looking at her on weekdays, as if he knew everything, it was rare to see her embarrassed, so he just laughed at her, and when he saw that she was embarrassed, he didn't say much, and seriously explained the difference with him.
β¦β¦
With this test, it is basically proved that the operation of space-based weapons is normal, after all, they tested it completely in accordance with the remote control method this time.
Now that it proves to be normal, the next thing is to launch.
Xu Ziling didn't have much free time, so he announced on the spot that he would prepare for the launch next.
"Everyone is busy these days, ten days later, it is a good weather for the launch, try to rush this time, and when the busyness is over, I personally invite everyone to dinner, and the company's red envelopes are doubled."
"Good ......"
"You don't need to eat, can you discount it......
The red envelope was doubled, and there was still food to eat, Xu Ziling's words immediately aroused the joy of everyone, and the enthusiasm was high all of a sudden, and the people who knew his temper even joked with him.
"Okay, the discount will be discounted, the lunch box of ten yuan, and when the time comes to pay your salary, you will pay ten more yuan to your account."
Work is work, jokes are jokes, and now at this time, Xu Ziling didn't mind a few words of jokes with everyone, and immediately replied with a smile.
"Hehe......"
There is not a lot to do next, the most important thing is to load space-based weapons and satellites on rockets, dozens of tons of things, not like the small and medium-sized satellites launched before, so there are a lot of things, and all of them are very important.
However, most of this is the business of the launch center and the Great Wall Company, they are only responsible for providing technology, strictly speaking, their task is not heavy.
But having said that, the satellite is theirs, and once the launch fails, their economic losses are huge, not to mention the loss of time and the impact on several plans for them.
Therefore, Xu Ziling did not dare to relax at this time.
