Three months ago, the Space Defense Council, Aegis Earth, and the Asian Space Force signed a "Code for the Use of Weapons in Outer Space."

It is clearly stipulated that the three forces can only jointly build a nuclear bomb launch platform, and cannot be built by any one party independently, and the space nuclear bomb launch platform is limited to attacking asteroids or meteorites that may pose a threat to mankind and are used to attack the earth.

In addition, the space nuclear bomb launch platform jointly built by the three forces is the same as the International Space Station, each party has reasonable control, and the nuclear bomb launch key is divided into three parts, each of which is made into two keys and kept by two high-level officials.

In other words, every time a nuclear bomb is launched in outer space, all three high-level executives must be aware of it, and six high-level executives of the three parties must jointly turn the key to start the nuclear bomb launch process.

The Asian Space Force, the Space Defense Council, and the Aegis Earth tripartite organization quarreled over the funding of the nuclear bomb launch platform last month.

According to industry estimates, the three parties agreed on this, it will take at least one year, and it will take at least another year to start construction.

In other words, up to now, the missile launch platform in outer space has only existed in the descriptions of some conspiracy theorists, or only in science fiction.

Sam knew that if Gungnir's news was exposed, it would mean that the Space Defense Council was secretly developing nuclear weapons in outer space, and it was equivalent to directly tearing up the "Code of Conduct for the Use of Weapons in Outer Space" signed by the three parties.

The adverse impact on this is not insignificant.

Sam couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of this, such a major matter was in his hands, which represented the trust of the high-level in him.

It can be said that even if the observation post was really destroyed by a meteorite this time, then this incident would be a stain on his career at best.

For his current position, the impact is not significant.

And this time, isn't it the most suitable embodiment of testing Gungnir's actual combat ability?

If the meteorite can be successfully intercepted, it means that the loss of all meteorites that pose a threat to Aramgian, or the attack of ICBMs, will be minimized.

Anthony's expression became serious: "Director Sam, you have to be clear, Gungnir is our biggest hole card, and the responsibility of the Space Defense Council is not only to defend space,

We also want to defend against people who might get in the way of us going into space, and offense is the best defense, I hope you understand that. ”

"Yes!" Sam stood up from his seat, gave a military salute to Anthony, and replied firmly.

At the same time, outer space is in a highly synchronous orbit.

A small space station received a signal from the ground and was awakened from hibernation.

Its appearance is no different from that of a normal space station, and this is Amijian's secret weapon, the Gungnir.

At the beginning, Amejian built it in the name of "freight transfer station", although the towns and governments of various countries did not understand what the hell was the use of building a cargo transfer station in outer space.

It's just that this is someone else's business, and they don't bother to care.

Now this "transit station" in the eyes of various countries has begun to move slowly, and its shell takes on an irregular square.

Limited by Amejian's scientific and technological prowess, its appearance cannot really be as powerful as a weapon launch platform in a science fiction movie.

But the technological content of a space missile launch platform is, in a sense, much lower than the construction of a large space station.

Because Gungnir uses a remote control mode, this means that the traditional life support system on the space station, as well as a large number of electronic screens and wiring and other equipment, can be omitted.

Even the station is vacuum, because Gungnir doesn't need anyone to go up to it.

This is purely a large weapon launch platform, destroyed for the sake of destruction.

"Click."

The thing that looked like a hatch was slowly opened by the power control system, and a missile head with a pitch-black appearance gradually began to be revealed.

The missile is very small, only a lap larger than a conventional rocket, but its power is unquestionable.

Missiles in outer space can be completely different from those deployed on the ground.

On the ground, neither ordinary cruise missiles, nor intercontinental missiles that can cover global strikes, will not be small in size.

Especially for intercontinental missiles, the size of this thing is basically the same as that of a rocket.

Why is that?

It is because it not only has to overcome its own air resistance, but also has to load enough fuel to fly over the target, and at the same time ensure that it is strong enough to kill.

These three hard conditions have led to the fact that the missiles on the ground are basically conical cylinders, and this shape can reduce air resistance to a minimum.

Don't look at the volume of ICBMs, but in fact, more than 95% of this thing is fuel, and excluding a series of complex equipment, the warhead that is really equipped with a nuclear bomb often only occupies less than 5% of the volume of ICBMs.

A missile in space is simply not the same thing as a missile deployed on the ground.

There is no air resistance in space, and the missile can be squared, and at the same time, it does not need to be loaded with as much fuel, because its speed can be gradually stacked.

It's like applying a thousand N of thrust to a missile, and under the most ideal conditions of the space environment, this thousand N of thrust will not be reduced at all.

On the ground, if thrust is applied from time to time, the missile will fall directly to the ground, which is why the land-based missile has to be done so much.

At the same time, a thrust of 1,000 N is applied in the first second, and a thrust of 1,000 N is also applied in the second of the second, and in an ideal environment, the force on this object becomes 2,000 N, and the next second is 3,000 N.

Without interference from celestial gravitation, the force it can exert is almost unlimited, until it is fixed at a constant value, without increasing or weakening.

Like the human probe Voyager 1, which is about to fly out of the solar system, its engines have stopped working for decades, but it can still maintain a speed of 17 kilometers per second.

This means that the missile's engine does not need to be so high-end, and only needs to provide enough thrust in a short period of time to allow the missile to guarantee a very high speed.

The interception of meteorites is even simpler, it is only necessary to calculate the landing point and trajectory of the meteorite in advance and deploy the missile in orbit.
