Chapter 232: Laser Weapons
Liu Hongxin walked to the square box, aimed his eyes at the detection instrument on it, and then entered a string of passwords on the number keys of the box. The glass curtain wall suddenly and slowly opened to both sides.
Li Dongsheng and the others looked at the exquisite password protection system in surprise, but they didn't expect to see that such a sophisticated and advanced access control system was hidden in the fragile glass curtain wall. They walked over to look at the open door and found that behind the glass curtain wall was a steel door 30 centimeters thick.
Liu Hongxin turned to look at Li Dongsheng and said, "We have adopted the strictest protection measures for the institute. Three identification systems are installed at the gate, namely password, palm print and iris recognition. None of the gates can be opened without a guò, and an alarm will be sounded. The alarm system is directly connected not only to our security team, but also to the local public security and national security systems, and they will be there as soon as possible."
Then he pointed to the thick gate and said, "I specially found the arsenal to make this gate, and it is said to be able to withstand rocket attacks."
Li Dongsheng and several people admired the sneaky Liu Hongxin walked into the gate of the institute, and a silver-gray corridor appeared in front of him in the gate, and the top of the corridor was a semicircular vault structure, and the vault exuded a soft moon-white light, illuminating the corridor as clean and charming as a spaceship.
On both sides of the corridor are several pale blue doors, on which are hung signs of different offices and various real rooms. From time to time, there was a slight "buzzing" sound from the room with the sign of the real yàn room in the building.
Wan Lin and the others seemed to suddenly have a feeling of stepping into a dreamlike temple of science from the real society, and a sense of sacredness rose in their hearts, and they all unconsciously lightened their steps, lest they break this peaceful atmosphere.
Liu Hongxin came to the door of a real room and leaned his face close to the iris detector next to the door, and the tiny red light on the detector flashed a few times and turned green.
Liu Hongxin gently pushed open the door of the real room, and Wan Lin and a few people looked inside, and saw that an instrument the size of a suitcase was pulsing and radiating wisps of red light, illuminating something like a vertical target forty or fifty meters away from the test bench.
When Wan Lin saw the instrument inside, he unconsciously whispered: "Isn't this a laser generator?" When Liu Hongxin heard Wan Lin's words, he turned his head abruptly and asked, "How do you know this instrument?" ”
Wan Lin replied: "I have seen it in the real room of the Nuclear Energy Research Institute, but it is much bigger than yours."
Liu Hongxin paused for a moment, and then laughed quietly: "Hehe, I remember, I once heard Director Wang Molin say that your provincial nuclear energy research institute was attacked, and it turned out that you were there." Then they are not in the net! I said, how do you know this kind of instrument".
Wan Lin and Li Dongsheng laughed for a while and didn't make a sound, looking down at the instrument in front of them carefully. At this time, Liu Hongxin motioned for a researcher in the room to come over and ask her to give a brief introduction.
A twenty-year-old woman in a white coat with a pair of black-rimmed glasses walked over lightly, didn't look at them, but introduced them in a programmed and whispered to them: "This is our newly developed laser generator." At present, some advanced countries in the world are developing Dalian power laser generators, but they are limited by volume and energy, and they cannot be miniaturized, and they cannot be used on a large scale in applications."
The female researcher said, raised her head and glanced at Liu Hongxin with an inquiring eye, Liu Hongxin nodded at her and said, "It's okay, let's say it." They are my new senior management of the company." In order not to reveal the identities of several people, he discussed with Li Dongsheng and asked Li Dongsheng to operate in the company as shareholders or senior managers of the company.
With the permission of the chairman, the female researcher introduced to them in detail the working principle of the laser generator and the results of their current research.
Originally, a laser is a type of light, which, like other luminous bodies in nature, is produced by atomic, molecular or ionic transitions. Although the laser is light, it is obviously different from ordinary light in that the laser only relies on spontaneous radiation for a very short period of time at the beginning, and the subsequent process is completely determined by the excitation radiation, with extremely strong gathering energy, so the laser has a very pure color, almost no divergent directionality, and has extremely high luminous intensity.
Therefore, the laser is simply a kind of energy beam. In civil use, the high-coherence, high-intensity, and high-directional laser generated by the medium and low-power lasers can be transmitted by the mirror and irradiated to the processed goods through the guò concentrating mirror, and the cutting, engraving and other processes of the items can be carried out.
However, in the military, the high-power laser generator is a weapon, which can be widely used in laser positioning, laser weapons and military measurements, and has extremely high prospects for military development.
Li Dongsheng heard this and interjected: "I have heard of laser weapons, and it is said that lasers have many unique advantages as weapons. First of all, it can fly at the speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second, which is not such high for any weapon. Once it is aimed, it hits the target almost instantly, without thinking about the amount of advance. In addition, it can concentrate more than 1 million times the energy of a nuclear weapon in a very small area and in a very short time, and quickly penetrate the target at one point. It also has the flexibility to change direction without any radioactive contamination."
When the female research institute heard Li Dongsheng's slightly low and magnetic words, she took off her black-framed glasses in surprise, revealing a fair and delicate face, and looked at Li Dongsheng in surprise with a pair of big black and white clear eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice.
The researcher continued, "This gentleman is right. According to relevant records, during the 1982 Battle on Island M, country Y installed blinding laser weapons on its aircraft carriers and frigates of various types, causing many planes of country A to lose control, crash, or mistakenly fall into the firing net of the Y army."
Strategic laser weapons, on the other hand, can attack intercontinental missiles thousands of kilometers away, reconnaissance satellites, and communications satellites in space. For example, in November 1975, two reconnaissance satellites of country M, which monitored missile silos, were hit by the "anti-satellite" land-based laser weapons of the former country when they flew over a certain country, thus becoming 'blind'. Therefore, high-base and high-energy laser weapons are one of the ideal weapons for seizing superiority in space, and they are also the fundamental reason why the military powers do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to engage in fierce competition."
"However, the current laser weapon laser technology is not mature, and it is impossible to manufacture high-power lasers lightly, and the laser consumes a lot of energy, requiring a complex and huge power supply system, so that laser weapons cannot be put into use in large quantities. Therefore, it is not possible to equip troops on a large scale, which is why all countries are conducting research on the miniaturization and low energy consumption of high-power laser emitters in order to achieve higher efficiency lasers."
