In response to the interception of the cruise missiles fired at the country for 7 minutes. [Full text reading] is in this short period of 2 minutes. The weapons of mass destruction used by the Celestial Army of the Republic have completely changed the outside world's understanding of the strategic defense system and also changed the understanding of defense tactics.

The full name of the "mass killer" is "Regional Laser Interception System".

It's simple, but the meaning is different. Although in actual combat use, laser weapons are far from being able to focus on a single point, but form a relatively large light spot, and the light spot envelops the target to achieve the purpose of burning the target, but in all kinds of energy weapons. Laser weapons are still "point weapons." That is, it can only attack a certain target, and when using the beamsplitter, it can attack several targets at the same time, and cannot attack all targets within an area. It is difficult for laser weapons to become "surface weapons." The reason is also simple: the energy requirements are too high.

Theoretically, laser weapons should have the ability to attack from a surface.

As we all know, laser weapons actually convert electrical energy, chemical energy and other energy into light energy, and then convert light energy into internal energy when attacking the target. In this way, as long as the output energy is large enough, the attack range can be expanded while ensuring the destruction of the target.

The problem is that if you need to attack an area, the input and output energy requirements will increase rapidly.

Because the spot area is proportional to the square of the spot diameter, it is necessary to expand the attack range. The output energy of a laser weapon is proportional to the square of the spot diameter. For example, when attacking ballistic missiles, the spot diameter is about meters, and if you need to cover a rectangular area with a width of kilometers and kilometers, the spot diameter needs to reach at least 1,000 kilometers, and the output energy of the laser will be increased by 40,000 times, and the average output power will be at the old cluster power level. The peak output power is in the power level. There is no doubt that such a high energy requirement, not to mention that those interception satellites that use composite batteries to supply points cannot meet the requirements. Even small, controllable fusion reactors struggle to meet the requirements. To introduce the technology of the middle of the century, only backed by the national grid. It is possible to reach this energy standard.

Now the problem is obvious.

As we all know, the national grid belongs to the most basic infrastructure. In the case of the national grid of the republic, under the influence of the power revolution, the authorities of the republic will establish a new national backbone power grid as one of the basic projects for the adjustment of the industrial structure, and to meet the needs of the future field exhibition for the purpose of construction. The renovation project has gone through 3 generations of leaders. It lasted for nearly a year, and it was not completed until the milk year, with a total investment of nearly one trillion yuan. Comparatively speaking, the long engineering period is even more unacceptable compared to the huge engineering investment. It can be said that even if the carrying load of the national power grid of the republic is as high as the old mutual power kilowatts, and the peak carrying capacity is even higher, the flying power kilowatts of O can basically meet the input power requirements of regional laser weapons, but the negative impact is difficult to estimate.

It is precisely in this way that laser weapons have not been able to become "weapons of destruction".

To be precise, before the Tian era, the development of laser weapons into weapons of mass destruction with area strike capability remained in the stage of theoretical research, and there was no concrete implementation or even relevant experiments.

The problem is that the pursuit of greater power is always the direction of development of weapons systems.

Against the backdrop of an all-out arms race, any kind of dissection is possible.

In fact, the ability to make laser weapons have an area strike capability is a research topic that originated from intercepting cruise missiles. As early as the beginning of the Hook era, a major breakthrough was made in the technology of using the phase jamming method to generate virtual images, and a large number of weapons and equipment with a powerful deceptive effect, such as virtual imagers, came out one after another, and the interception capability of the strategic defense system was put to a tremendous test. At that time, the authorities of the Republic of China set up a research group in the name of theoretical research at the Physics Experiment Center, that is, what methods can be used to most effectively ensure the security of the territory when encountering a large number of virtual images. The conclusion of the theoretical study is: Only by intercepting all targets, regardless of whether they are real or false, and all of them are fatally damaged, can the security of the homeland be guaranteed. There is only one way to achieve this, and that is to throw huge amounts of energy in the target path and destroy all man-made objects. At that time, the most important recommendation given by the research team was not the laser-based energy weapon system. Instead, a nuclear warhead is dropped directly at the target area, using a nuclear explosion to destroy the incoming missile. There is no doubt that the effect of this interception method is certainly very good, but the collateral damage is also very large, and it is impossible for it to be adopted by the authorities of the republic. If nothing else, if an incoming missile has already entered the airspace of the republic, in this way it is tantamount to bombing the territory of the country with nuclear weapons.

It was under this premise that the authorities of the republic launched this within the "Yanhuang Plan". Secret project.

The specific time of the session should be around the year of Liqiao. The person in charge at that time was Bae Seung-yi, who had already become Minister of National Defense.

Like other new concept weapons that require huge investment, the "regional laser interception system" has undergone a feasibility study for several years after the project was established. There is no doubt that the findings are more than "doable." "And it's significant, otherwise there wouldn't be a real show after many years. Because it is an integral part of the national strategic defense system, and one of the most important ones. So "a regional laser interception system." Entering the engineering exhibition stage, referring to other top-secret projects, the Military Intelligence Agency is responsible for the management, and there is no way to let the strategy and the Ministry of Defense intervene. According to the records of the Military Intelligence Agency, the project was officially launched around 2 pies.

In principle, the biggest challenge for the whole system is how to get the huge amount of energy.

To be precise, how to get the huge input power. If it is completely dependent on the national grid, even if it is calculated on the basis of average output power. In addition, the energy conversion efficiency is that the State Grid operates at peak times, which will also occupy about 10% of the transmission capacity of the State Grid, thus having a serious impact on social electricity consumption. Because the energy conversion efficiency cannot be achieved, the ship will ideally be left and right, and the national grid cannot operate at peak at all times if it is started in an emergency. It will definitely take a lot of time, and it will not meet the minimum standards of tactical response, and in actual use, it is very likely to occupy the transmission capacity above the gills of the national grid, thus crushing the national grid. Or paralyze other social systems altogether, and the consequences will certainly be beyond the scope of tolerance.

Of course, the solution is not impossible, but it is costly.

The most feasible solution is to store some of the electricity in peacetime according to the maximum output energy, and then connect to the grid when used to reduce the pressure on the national grid. If you can store half of the electrical energy needed to fight a war. It can reduce the pressure on the national grid by half, that is, reduce the occupancy rate from the account to the gills, and cooperate with the wartime system, plus some civilian systems also have backup power supply, which can control the impact to a minimum.

As mentioned earlier. If you do. The cost is extremely high.

For example, even if the bomber launches the missile at the same frequency, and the replacement missile is divided into batches, the interval between each missile is four meters, and the interval between each batch of missiles is 1 kilometer, and all of them must be destroyed by means of regional interception, and the diameter of the spot where the laser beam falls in the target area must be at least at least o meters, and the duration of action must not be less than the restriction. The total output energy is up to the old out of the power joules. In actual combat use, various unexpected situations must be considered, so the spot diameter needs to be expanded by several times, and the continuous action time needs to be extended at least to! Small, so the total output energy will be as high as 10,000 joules multiplied by the old.

Needless to say, this is a very quiet number.

You know, at the level of previous years, all the controlled fusion nuclear power plants in the republic operate at maximum power together, and they also need to work for hours to produce so much energy. If the redundant electricity in peacetime is calculated, it will take half a year to store half of the electric energy for only one interception.

It is for this reason that the first task in the engineering phase of the system is the construction of an electric energy storage facility.

This is the aforementioned secret military base in the Taihang Mountains. This has only one number in the documents of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic. In the unnamed military base, a total of nearly 10,000 tons of recovered composite batteries of grade 8 and below are scattered and stored, and all composite batteries are full of electric energy. Of course; For safety reasons, all composite batteries are inspected for safety before being charged, eliminating potential faults and being controlled by a central computer. In case of danger, it will automatically release a trace amount of metallic hydrogen inside to avoid explosion. Even so. The scattered storage of 10,000 tons of composite batteries is also crammed into three peaks.

Of course, because all the storage sites are four meters below the table, there is nothing abnormal about these 3 peaks on the surface.

It looks like it's a huge military base.

In order to fully charge this 10,000-ton composite battery, it took 4 years. The electricity in the 10,000-ton composite battery is enough to keep all the factories in the republic running around the clock for six months. With such a huge amount of electrical energy, it can only allow the interception system to work in standard mode 6 times.

Obviously, this is not enough to ensure the strategic security of the republic itself. After the completion of the second phase of the London Treaty reduction, the strategic bombers maintained by Russia alone will be able to carry out eight large-scale attacks on the mainland of the Republic, while the strategic bombers maintained by the United States will be able to carry out large-scale attacks on the mainland of the Republic of China. Therefore, in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast of the Republic, the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest, and the Wuyi Mountains in the southeast, there is also a military base of similar scale, which stores scrapped composite batteries ranging from 80,000 tons to old 10,000 tons, and the composite batteries in these bases have all completed charging operations at the beginning of the year.

I have to say that looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only the republic has such strength.

You must know that Heguo is not only the world's largest producer of composite batteries, but also introduced relevant laws for the recycling of all composite batteries in four years, and the cost of destroying scrapped composite batteries is relatively high, and the cheapest way to destroy is to let the metal hydrogen in the composite batteries attenuate naturally. Over the decades, the Republic has stored at least one million tons of end-of-life composite batteries. Because the nominal service life of any industrial product is lower than the actual service life, that is, it will leave redundancy, so many scrapped composite batteries can actually still be used, but the performance does not meet the design indicators. In addition to the first mass-produced 2-stage and 4-stage composite batteries, the other composite batteries that were scrapped and stored after the production of the craftsman year were all bad, and about 10,000 tons of recycled composite batteries were stored in the base.

It can be said that without these composite batteries, the "regional laser interception system" would still remain at the stage of theoretical research. The reason is very simple, even if the price of the composite battery is not considered, if it is replaced by a 10,000-ton mouth-level composite battery, in terms of cost, the purchase price is as high as one trillion yuan, which is completely beyond the country's affordability, and the output of the composite battery must be considered, as well as the problems caused by the large-scale expansion.

Just because the energy problem is solved doesn't mean that the other problems don't exist.

After obtaining enough energy, how to project the energy to the target has become a new problem.

The puzzle is divided into two parts, one is the power of the laser, and the other is the energy transfer.

The former is relatively easy to solve, even if it is not possible to output all the energy with one laser, it is possible to output all the energy by multiple lasers in parallel. Of course, there are a number of problems that need to be solved, such as how to ensure that all laser input lasers have the same phase, and how to make all lasers have the same directivity. Of course. These are technical problems, not basic conditions, which can be solved through reasonable design and ingenious technical means. For example, by using adaptive mirrors equipped with a negative feedback system, the laser beams from each laser have the same directivity.

Of course, the focus is still on the second question.

There is no doubt that the old multi-thousand-ton composite battery and the basic energy design based on the national grid are also available. So that the shot end of the whole system must be placed on the ground. It is well known that the Earth's surface has amplitude, and depending on the terrain, when irradiating low-altitude targets, the range of action of lasers is very limited. Even if the laser is located on Mount Everest, which is more than a meter above sea level, the attack distance to targets at sea level is within 4,000 meters. As a result, the high-energy laser can only be emitted thousands of kilometers away by reflection. It is in this way that in the sky above geosynchronous orbit, there will be a special reflective satellite.

Because the entire system is under absolute protection, before it is officially put into use, the outside world does not know at all, and even the commander of the Celestial Forces of the Republic does not know that there is such a powerful interception system, so the reflective satellite is launched in the name of a communication satellite, and the reflector uses the latest technology and materials. Of course, the "latest" here does not refer to the high-strength memory alloy that builds the mirror skeleton, but the adaptive smart fiber fabric that makes up the mirror.

The most important feature of this fabric-like imitation fabric is that it can be adjusted to the light pressure. The surface curvature of the fibers is automatically adjusted so that the light is always reflected in a fixed direction. In other words, as long as the orientation of the skeleton is adjusted, the laser beam shining on it will be reflected in the same direction, regardless of what the reflective surface looks like.

This characteristic may not be useful in ground daggers. It is particularly useful in outer space, where temperature variations are enormous. You must know that any material has the nature of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and in the case of a reflection distance of 4 thousand meters, even a very slight change will cause the focus to fail, resulting in energy dispersion, unable to reach the level of burning the target, and making the attack completely defeated. What's more, in outer space, without the ability to automatically adjust to changes in the environment, no control of mechanical properties can ensure a sufficiently high level of accuracy.

According to the list of the Military Intelligence Agency, in order to develop this fabric, more than 400 million yuan was spent on scientific research alone.

Of course, this fabric is not perfect. Because the surface curvature of the fiber is automatically adjusted, the reflectivity of the laser is far inferior to that of the metal mirror, and the average emissivity is only the emissivity of the metal mirror can reach more than Peng. Don't look at this large gap, this means that in the light energy emitted, about the strong light energy will be converted into internal energy, radiant energy and other energy on the surface of the mirror, and the absolute majority of them is internal energy. Even fabric fibers can adjust the surface curvature in response to temperature changes. Make sure that the direction of the laser does not change, but if you do not try to scatter the heat generated by the laser irradiation, the mirror surface will definitely be burned. Behind the reflective surface is a highly conductive thermal coating with a thickness close to the meter, that is, the excess internal energy is taken away by steaming the thermal paint. Even so. The entire mirror surface can only work continuously for a maximum of seconds, or in an intermittent manner. If each irradiation continues, it will work up to 8 times.

It is precisely this that in geosynchronous orbit over the equator, there are a total of 6 such reflective satellites and 3 in reserve.

In normal times, these six satellites are in a state of convergence, and they will convert electromagnetic signals like communication satellites, so as not to arouse suspicion among enemy countries. It is only when working that the mirror surface is unfolded. Sadly, the mirror can only be unfolded, not retracted. In other words, each satellite can only work once, and does not have the ability to work repeatedly, which is why 3 spare satellites are prepared.

In any case, this is definitely an epoch-making weapon, an absolutely devastating weapon! If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle chapter for more, support the author, and support genuine reading!
