To be honest, Yevgeny was not very fond of China.

He had been to this country when he was young, and in his memory, the Chinese were a very shrewd people, and this shrewdness even reached the point that many of their own people could not stand it.

Yevgeny remembers that when he came to China, Russia was in the most difficult moment in history, and the Chinese shipped them a large number of inferior fake wine, artificial leather coats, and down jackets made of stinky chicken feathers, but returned with brand-new machine tools, drawings and related engineering personnel.

It was during that time that Yevgeny came to work in China. However, he did not stay long, and a year and a half later, he was introduced by a friend to the United States, and since then, he has remained at a university as a professor, until now.

Yevgeny's impression of China is still his own experience when he was young, and most of them are from Chinese baijiu.

From the bulk sorghum wine sold in grain and oil stores, to Wuliangye and Moutai in hotels and restaurants...... To be honest, in Yevgeny's opinion, all are inferior to Russian vodka, and the Chinese believe that different wines have different flavors, so these wines always have some strange tastes together - this wine is as complex and changeable as the Chinese's square characters, Chinese's dishes, and Chinese's personality.

Yevgeny did not like complexity, almost every Russian he knew did not like it.

But now, Yevgeny feels that his future life may not be simpler anymore.

This emotion reached its climax when Yevgeny woke up, after he was sure that gravity could not be felt.

Evgeny did not know what this place was, the environment without gravity, with Evgeny's knowledge, there were only two possibilities. Either he's in a huge, crashing giant house right now, or he's on some space station in Earth's orbit right now.

But after following Shen Changwen and simply turning around here, Yevgeny knew that neither of these could be possible - the earth could not build such a large space station now.

Yevgeny was able to see subtitles on the wall, in Chinese characters, as well as in Russian.

This discovery made Yevgeny feel inexplicably surprised - he almost began to wonder if this was the moon base that China and Russia had secretly excavated and built on the moon without telling all the earthlings. He once watched a movie with a similar plot saying that the Nazis did not die out after World War II, but continued to develop on the far side of the moon, ready to make a comeback.

Now, the subconscious association that this space station brings to him is this plot. Maybe the Soviet Union didn't collapse, and they are still here......

But Yevgeny soon learned that the idea was wrong.

"We still need propellants, even the simplest propellants," Shen Changwen brought him in this time, because of this technical problem, "but the original fuel chamber is too small, we need to make it bigger temporarily." ”

In front of Yevgeny were the two nuclear warheads that he had seen with his own eyes, salvaged from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and now placed side by side in front of him.

*The fuel silos have all been dismantled, and the original nuclear warheads* have been removed and replaced with Yevgeny's redesigned*.

Due to the change in the formula, and the need for an additional safety factor, the new one* is a large circle larger than the original nuclear warhead, which makes the originally slender conical warhead become a flat spherical shape, which looks very ugly.

If this kind of nuclear bomb were put back on Earth and taken out to show others, it would definitely be laughed to death, because the image and the original cylindrical fuel tank make the overall shape look like a male genital. This huge mass and ugly shape also determine that it is difficult for these two "*" to be projected out of the earth's gravity.

From Yevgeny's professional point of view, these two * can no longer be said to be * after this "reconstruction", and perhaps they can be used as two cores*.

If it were on Earth, Yevgeny would definitely laugh out loud when he heard Shen Changwen's request now, because as far as the fuel chamber of a * is concerned, or in other words, the size and regulation of the Ministry of Propulsion are limited by quite a few factors, the most important of which is the warhead.

When Shen Changwen asked him to design a warhead before, the design requirements he put forward were - as long as the explosion can be guaranteed, anything can be done. Now, there is a need to temporarily add a push, which is like asking a tailor to make a shirt for a fat man and then a thin man for pants, and the two clothes need to match.

This contradiction, which in Yevgeny's view, could not be completely dealt with at all, was completely relieved after he saw the space station.

Along the way, he has actually figured out all the technical problems.

Shen Changwen's request is completely achievable, and it is very easy.

In a gravity-free environment, if you want to make a "*", you only need to maintain the most basic moment, that is, don't let the * itself flip in the air because of the propulsion, and that's it.

It's not like being on Earth, because of the gravitational field, the design of the thrusters is very demanding - in most countries, the technology content of making * is more than making a nuclear bomb.

The difficulty of nuclear bombs is only the process of accumulation of experience, the principle is known all over the world, and the modern level of technology, even if it is a miniaturized design, can pass several test explosions, and then all of them can be simulated on a computer.

However, the design itself is much more complex, especially the nuclear*, which requires very high reliability standards, navigation attitude control, fuel control, maintenance, and launch platforms......

Yevgeny used to know an expert who once described the difficulty of the design core* — a designer who had to assume that he was a fat man who was proficient in mathematics and jumped off the top of the Empire State Building in New York after eating a lot of beans.

In this process, it is necessary to accurately calculate the rate of biochemical reactions of the bean in the intestine so that it is always evenly discharged.

The fat man needs to adjust his posture at any time in mid-air, and if his limbs are not enough, he also needs to prepare some special auxiliary clothing to generate the right lift.

Of course, these are not the most important things, the most critical point is that during the entire falling process, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the fat man's own psychological state, so as not to let him be scared to pee because of fear in advance.

But if the environment is changed from the Empire State Building in New York to the Mir space station, then the task will undoubtedly be much simpler.

"Also," Shen Changwen added, "the strength of the shell needs to be strengthened." ”

"Enclosure strength?" Yevgeny sensitively realized something, "There will be interceptions?" Is it the laser weapon you mentioned? ”

Before coming over, Shen Changwen had actually explained most of the design requirements, but because Yevgeny really couldn't imagine the specific requirements he needed, he finally decided to bring him into the space station in the form of the original sleeping pill teleportation.

"Yes," Shen Changwen held up something like a stick from his hand, handed it to Yevgeny to see, and then took it back, pointing the stick at a standard tank composite armor plate while saying to him, "This is a demonstration, let's take a step back and put on the goggles." ”

This composite armor plate was brought out by Shen Changwen from his laboratory, and he had already shown it to Yevgeny before he came. This is the armor material applied to modern mainstream tanks, and it is already the most cutting-edge technology on the earth in terms of protection alone. The armor plate in front of them was a full 30 centimeters thick, which was equivalent to the thickness of the side armor of a mainstream medium tank.

And this in Shen Changwen's hand, the so-called laser weapon, was something that Yevgeny had never seen before. Just when Yevgeny was still wondering how this laser emitter would emit lasers, Shen Changwen turned on the switch.

A red pillar of light appeared, and it was not very clear to see because the air here was clean. But the effect on the target, that piece of armor, is very clear and obvious. The armor vaporized the material at an almost visible rate, and a small black hole quickly appeared at the spot of the spot. This process lasted a full 12 seconds, and after 12 seconds, the black holes became transparent - the armor had been completely penetrated.

"The weapons we need to face will be hundreds of times the energy of this laser emitter."

Yevgeny stepped forward, took the armor plate back, placed it in front of him, and looked at the hole that had just been burned.

There is hardly any change in the temperature of the material itself, on the one hand, because the heat transfer speed of the material itself is not fast, and on the other hand, it is enough to explain the power of this laser weapon.

It was only in newspapers and novels that Yevgeny had heard that China and the United States might now be working on laser weapons – he never imagined that he would be able to do so to such an extent.

Looking at the laser emitter again, it was just a tube more than half a meter long, not much longer than an ordinary rifle, and it was not even possible to see the complex structure of the rifle.

If the tube in front of you is called a laser gun, then the kind described by Shen Changwen has hundreds of times the energy, and there is no doubt that it can be called a laser cannon.

Countless thoughts flashed through Yevgeny's mind in an instant, China, the United States, orbital, moon, space operations...... Could it be that the earth you are familiar with is an illusion? The real United States and China are now already fighting for space? Fight with laser guns and laser cannons?

"Don't think nonsense," Shen Changwen could see Yevgeny's distraction, indeed, no one could maintain his composure after entering this space station, "Now what we have to leave is to quickly come up with some feasible plans." This energy level should be difficult to achieve in terms of protection. ”

Although Yevgeny's mind was confused, what came out of his mouth was still very professional: "If it is only this laser weapon, theoretically it will not affect the operation of the nuclear bomb itself, the stability of * is very insensitive to temperature, and the only thing worth worrying about is the propellant...... If it is intercepted by this laser, the effect of the shell will not be too obvious, on the contrary, it will greatly increase the weight of the * and reduce the speed. For laser weapons, low velocity means longer aiming time for the same amount of time - so the best way to protect against this laser is to accelerate ......"
