As the North American "Defense One" website reported the news, on the same day, the North American side lifted the ban on a series of top-secret plans for "space-based weapons," and its spokesman openly admitted that it had begun to put forward the idea of such weapons as early as the end of the last century.

And as early as 2012, the Woods Foundation launched the development of the "Scepter of God" space-based kinetic weapon system, and the North American United Technology Corporation received funding to lead the development, and plans to complete the global deployment of the system by 2024, which is built on two low-orbit satellite platforms 1,000 kilometers above the ground.

One satellite is responsible for communication and locking on targets, and the other is carrying a large number of "God's Scepter" kinetic energy bombs weighing several tons and about 6 meters long.

In fact, North America has been secretly developing space-based weapons for a long time, but that is just rumors and speculations from the outside world, and there is no official confirmation.

But this time it was different, the Woodhorn not only publicly admitted and lifted a large amount of previously strictly classified information, but also announced the upcoming first test, and the location was chosen.

For a while, the world was in an uproar, and the popularity of the Internet continued to soar.

"Lao Mei is really shameless, on the one hand, she accuses other countries of developing and deploying space-based weapons, but on the other hand, she secretly did the same thing, and now she is blatantly exposed."

"The double standard of US imperialism has let the world see its true face."

"As early as 15 years ago, the 'National Defense Strategy Report' promulgated by the United States clearly listed outer space, sea, land, air, and cyberspace as the five major spaces that need to maintain absolute superiority, and space-based weapons obviously reflect the ambition and perseverance of the United States to seize the 'supremacy of heaven.'"

"Do you believe their spokesperson saying that this is the first public test? Anyway, I don't believe it, I must have tested it many times behind my back, otherwise it would have been announced so confidently? ”

"Hey, do you think the recent mysterious explosion in Russia's Arkhangelsk Oblast is the old American space-based weapons doing something?"

"It shouldn't be possible, if the space-based weapon is that powerful, it is simply a chicken rib, although the power of that mysterious explosion is extremely terrifying in people's eyes, but the space-based weapon is said to be comparable to a nuclear weapon, so it is not worth mentioning compared to the mysterious explosion, it is not in an order of magnitude at all."

"The probability of impossibility is high, but it's not impossible, the energy level power can be adjusted, and the mass of the metal rod that is beaten down is a little smaller, isn't it?"

"So, it's really possible."

"I don't think it's very likely, if this is confirmed, Lao Maozi will definitely fry his hair, although Eagle Sauce always likes to do things, but there are still limits."

"Who knows......"

It is worth mentioning that before this, North America basically kept the space-based weapon program strictly secret, and the reason why it was so high-profile this time was more to ease the external pressure, which mainly came from the impact of the electromagnetic weapons unveiled by Tianqing Technology Group.

Although it was only an electromagnetic gun, no one would believe that it was just that, and what was not announced behind the scenes was probably a series of electromagnetic railgun plans, land-based defense electromagnetic railguns, ships, and so on.

That's where the pressure lies.

In fact, the unfounded speculation of some melon-eating netizens is really wrong, although the Wu Jiao Agency confidently said that this is the first time to test space-based weapons and it is still a global live broadcast, but in fact they have secretly tested it many times.

Actually, it's not difficult to understand, if it's the first time, there are too many uncertainties, in case you mess up and overturn, this X not only didn't pretend to be successful in front of the world, but was laughed at by the whole world, and the face was lost, and no matter how thick Eagle Sauce's face was, it was a little unbearable.

North America, Lockheed Martin Headquarters.

"What do you say? Ms. Marilyn, you came to me to tell me that Loma is also going to launch a space-based weapons program? Here, Vera is in an office, and she is wearing a white lab coat, which has a bit of a bewitching beauty.

However, Vera looked at the head of Loma Company sitting at the desk with questioning eyes at the moment.

"This is a defense contract worth tens of billions of dollars, and United Technologies can't afford it, and Loma has you, and we believe we can do better, and the CFR project is going unexpectedly well, and your contribution in it is irreplaceable for Vera. It is precisely because of this that we found the first project of controlled fusion, space-based weapon systems are the best choice, we are latecomers, but we can beat the joint technology and even get the entire contract order. ”

Marilyn Hewson spoke eloquently about the grand plan, and in a way, Loma's CFR program had the advantage of being a latecomer, allowing it to carry more kinetic bombs into orbit at once.

You know, the cost of space transportation is extremely high, which is also where Loma's competitiveness lies.

Marilyn Hewson said: "The Cape Woods is particularly obsessed with space-based weapons, a metal rod weighing several tons, smashing into the earth's surface at an extremely fast speed from outer space, destroying any matter in the field of vision, which is very powerful, comparable to nuclear weapons, but there will be no sequelae, green and natural, which is the biggest reason why the Woodhorn Office is obsessed with it." ”

"Comparable to nuclear weapons?" Vera smiled sarcastically and said bluntly: "Unfortunately, space-based kinetic energy weapons may not be as powerful as you imagined, Ms. Marilyn, even if it is the metal rod with the largest energy level, you can easily calculate the kinetic energy it carries with the formula of '1/2mv^2' with the knowledge of middle school physics, and its power is only more than 10,000 tons of TNT equivalent, less than half of the atomic bomb 'Little Boy' during World War II, and the cost of sending it into space is comparable to a 3 million equivalent hydrogen bomb." ”

Vera's hands were in the pockets of her lab robe, she stood still motionless, and said, "And don't forget another point, if I'm not mistaken, the most important substance in space-based weapons is almost exclusively available in Huaguo, and without it, no matter how beautiful space-based weapons are, it is empty talk." ”

Marilyn: "What substance?" ”

Vera: "Tungsten, 80% of the world's tungsten is in China, almost monopolizing this substance, not only tungsten, but even some rare elements needed for space-based weapons, all stored in China, even another newly discovered natural caryne is also in the hands of the Chinese, they also have carboxylene alloys. So what I want to say is that even if they are researching space-based weapons, even if they are one step behind, the Chinese will have a considerable late-mover advantage and have all the conditions to be ahead of North America. ”

Marilyn Hewson raised her eyebrows and did not say anything, Vera added succinctly: "We should not make space-based weapons, we should make weapons that can fight space-based weapons." ”

The head of Loma heard what she meant, and the complete expression of Vera's words should be: to be a weapon that can fight the space-based weapons of the Chinese country.

Because Huaguo has a greater resource advantage than North America, and at the same time, it is no longer necessary to question the technical strength of the other party, and it is necessary to face up to the technological development strength of Tianqing Technology Group.

So obviously, if each other is on the bar in the space-based kinetic energy weapon system, North America will lose in quantity first, and at the same time, the number of dollars means the strength of the power, you send a few tons of tungsten rods up, with the urine of the Chinese people, maybe he will launch a ruthless to send you a quality of more than ten tons of tungsten rods, then the power is really comparable to the atomic bomb.

North America is now leading only as a lead, and leading does not mean a final victory.

"Weapons to fight space-based weapons?" Marilyn Hewson couldn't help but look at the genius girl in front of her with puzzled eyes, the space-based weapon system is at least 1000 kilometers at an orbit altitude, and the higher the orbit, the more powerful it is, and the current missile can't hit such a high target at all.

Vera said calmly: "Give me another $7 billion and one year, a year and a half at most." ”

(PS saw the previous chapter and said, someone actually said that I copied book reviews, and I laughed at the time that I ate instant noodles in a mixed way...... Uh, no, it's a drama, cough cough, I laughed at the time, obviously the one who didn't know how to steal my outline and copy the book review? It's impossible, it doesn't exist, it's slander, don't say that my outline is leaked, go change the outline~~)
