Chapter 424, Energy Weapon

After inspecting the construction of the 'Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty', Qin Yi did not return directly to the earth, but came to the moon again, and came to this secret scientific research base established on the moon.

The controllable nuclear fusion technology has been developed, the gravity technology has also been mastered, and the conditions for interstellar spaceflight are almost mature.

However, the cannon of the giant ship, it is not enough to have a giant ship, it must also be equipped with a cannon, after all, the truth is only within the range of the cannon.

This principle is not only true for many countries on the earth, but also for many civilizations in the universe, and the universe cannot be a warm family.

The competition for resources, ideological conflicts, racial antagonisms, etc., there are too many, too many places that are prone to friction and war, and the universe is a dark forest, if you want to live in this forest and get a good taste, you must have great power.

Once defeated, it may not be a land reparation, a strong civilization is unceremonious to a weak civilization, the entire civilization has been reduced to slavery, and the trafficked interstellar universe is still a good ending, and some even the entire civilization is wiped out.

Only those who have great power and become the top of the food chain can live a good life.

Whether it is the Han Wu Emperor spaceship or other spaceships, sooner or later it will have to go out of the solar system and towards the interstellar universe, and this powerful force is naturally absolutely indispensable.

This secret scientific research base on the moon is now tasked with researching technological weapons suitable for the interstellar space age.

Seeing this, many people will say, can't the current weapons on Earth be used in interstellar space wars?

From the most basic guns and ammunition to artillery and missiles, to the most powerful nuclear weapons, from tanks to airplanes and submarines, these are all-round three-dimensional weapon systems on land, sea and air.

Although the war in interstellar space may sound lofty, it is not a war yet, and since it is a war, these weapons that have been researched by mankind now should have an effect.

But in fact, most of the weapons possessed by the earthlings now have no effect in the interstellar space war, or their role is extremely limited, and they can't come up with any killer and trump card weapons at all.

Even if it is the most powerful weapon of mankind, the nuclear bomb, its role in space and in interstellar space warfare is extremely limited.

Because the interstellar universe is so vast!

Take nuclear bombs as an example, powerful nuclear bombs, especially hydrogen bombs, have a blast range that can easily destroy a megacity on Earth.

But even if it is a metropolis like the magic capital, its area is only more than 6,000 square kilometers, which is a very large super city on the earth.

But in space, this area is simply insignificant, you must know that in space, the speed of spacecraft is tens of kilometers per second.

If it is a space fighter specially used for attack, its speed can exceed the speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, such a terrifying speed, let alone an area of thousands of kilometers square, even if it is an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, it can fly out quickly.

It can even be said that the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion of the hydrogen bomb may not be able to have this speed, and it can't even catch up with the enemy, so what do you talk about destroying the other party.

What's more, in the environment of the universe and space, the space is very wide and the mobility is very strong, which is a real three-dimensional war, which is completely different from the form of war on the earth.

As for bullets, shells, missiles, and the like, not to mention these, the speed is so slow that it can't even catch up with the ass of a spaceship, let alone cause damage to the enemy.

Weapons in the interstellar space age must have several characteristics.

Attacks should be fast, preferably at the speed of light, as they are fast enough to lock onto and kill enemies in the vast void.

The universe is too vast, and even the speed of light is barely enough, and if you can't even reach the speed of light, it will be really difficult to hit the enemy.

In addition to the speed of the attack, the distance of the attack must be long, the guns and ammunition on the earth can attack a distance of several hundred meters, artillery shells can attack targets several kilometers or more than ten kilometers away, and missiles can attack targets hundreds of kilometers, thousands, or even tens of thousands of kilometers away.

But this distance is nothing in space, the unit of calculating distance in space is astronomical units, light years, in the face of such a long distance, these tens of thousands of kilometers are no different from the origin at all.

This weapon must be far enough away to be able to attack the enemy.

In addition to the above two characteristics, weapons in the interstellar space age must also have many characteristics such as high attack power and high attack frequency.

Only weapons with these characteristics can be truly used in interstellar space warfare.

This nuclear bomb is very powerful, and if it can explode closely, a dragon-level spaceship like the 'Emperor Wu of Han' will be blown to pieces.

But the key is that this nuclear bomb needs a carrier, either with rockets or directly with fighters, and it is definitely not easy to attack the enemy's space warships and spaceships at close range.

Because every space battleship and spaceship, it is like an aircraft carrier in the starry sky, and it is even more powerful than an aircraft carrier, I don't know how many times.

It can carry a large number of space fighters, and it can also be equipped with many small space warships and spaceships to escort it, and it is definitely not easy to get close.

In addition to nuclear bombs, if you want to destroy a dragon-class spaceship like the 'Han Wu Emperor', with the current level of science and technology on the earth, other weapons basically do not pose a substantial threat to the 'Han Wu Emperor'.

The weapons used on the planet are, after all, the weapons used on the planet.

Some people will say, this is not good, that is not good, so what kind of weapon can be used in interstellar space?

At present, there is only one that is more likely and the easiest to research, and that is laser weapons.

Laser weapons are weapons that use high-energy lasers to accurately fire at targets at long distances or to defend against missiles, etc.

This laser weapon has the speed of light to attack, which is fast enough and far enough in terms of attack range to carry out precision attacks.

Of course, this laser weapon is not a mainstream weapon now, because the power of laser weapons is still a bit unsatisfactory.

In addition, because of optical weapons, laser weapons have no way to be used in all-weather combat, limited by heavy fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain, and the laser emission system is a precision optical system, which is also seriously affected by the atmosphere, such as the absorption of energy by the atmosphere, the energy attenuation caused by atmospheric disturbance, the thermal halo effect, turbulence and the attenuation caused by beam jitter.

Because laser weapons require a lot of electrical energy, they will also be subject to the problem of high-energy storage batteries, and often this laser weapon must also be equipped with a power station to power it, which is too inflexible and the frequency of attacks is too low.

This is also the reason why laser weapons have never been able to become the main weapons of war on the planet.

But this laser weapon is actually the predecessor of the energy weapon, its powerful attack speed, ultra-long attack distance, which determines that it belongs to the interstellar space age weapon.

The environment of interstellar space is a near-vacuum environment, which will not be affected by rain, snow, fog, atmosphere, etc., and can have a very good combat environment.

As for energy consumption, this is not a big deal at all, space warships and spacecraft are often equipped with nuclear power plants, and if you master the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, you don't have to worry about energy at all.

As for the space fighter, it is completely sufficient to have an atomic matrix battery, and the energy problem can be easily solved.

Coupled with the speed of light attack speed and ultra-long attack range, it is the most common and universally applicable weapon in interstellar space warfare.

Of course, the current laser weapons on the earth are still very low in power and low in attack frequency, and as a weapon in the interstellar space age, it still needs to be upgraded.

Otherwise, it would be a fool's dream to destroy a dragon-level spaceship or space battleship of the level of the 'Emperor Wu of Han' with the current laser weapons on Earth.

Standing still, you can attack desperately, and there is no way to inflict substantial damage on such a huge spaceship and space battleship.

You must know that the steel plate of the shell of the 'Emperor Wu of Han' spaceship, its thickness is several meters, this is just a spaceship, not a special space battleship, if it is the shell of a space battleship, it will be thicker.

And often space warships and spaceships will also have energy shields and magnetic field shields on them, and the power of laser weapons is not enough to tickle people.

If you want to become a weapon in the interstellar space age, its power must be strong enough, giant ship cannons, giant ship cannons, only cannons can pose a threat to giant ships, if you want to sink the giant ship with a pistol, it is estimated that the pistol will be scrapped, and the giant ship will not have any.

The reason is the same, the current laser weapon is similar to a pistol, the power is too low, the attack distance is not enough, it can't do any damage to the giant ship, and the laser weapon must be turned into an energy weapon, and it can be turned into a cannon to be able to pose enough threat to the giant ship.

And now, this secret scientific research base on the moon is mainly tasked with researching energy weapons.
