Chapter 285 [Controversy]
Vera stopped talking after speaking, Kane and several other senior staff members did not speak, she is a scientist, and it is difficult to judge technical issues.
The profession is not right, and they are very knowledgeable and do not talk.
But after a few seconds, another middle-aged scientific advisor with glasses in attendance immediately looked at Vera and questioned on the spot:
"It is true that the speed of laser weapons is the speed of light, but if you want to shoot down a vehicle that can break through the upper limit of the second cosmic speed, I think even if it is feasible, it only exists in theory, and it is unrealistic, not to mention that their Sky Blade fighter is so small, unlike ballistic missiles that are fast but can calculate orbits, even if there is the ability to change orbits at the end, it will not be frequent."
"But a fighter, its flight trajectory is like a chaotic system, you can't calculate where it will appear in the next moment, unless you control the fighter."
"Then the problem is, the laser weapon is a light-speed strike, but it is not light-speed destruction, the laser weapon needs a continuous fixed-point output to achieve the ability to destroy, the lower the output power, the higher the continuous output time, even if the laser irradiates the Tianjian fighter, it is also a very short time, and it will soon use maneuver to evade, it needs to be locked twice, which is equal to recalculation, and the influence of the atmospheric environment, haze can really prevent lasers."
"What's more, in order to achieve considerable damage effects, lasers need to reach megawatt-level output power, and at least a fixed point of continuous irradiation for no less than 1 minute, and where does the space-based platform have so much energy to provide consumption?"
Eagle Sauce's then Minister of Defense, Kane, and several of their senior staff members all looked at the scientist Balabala Chase silently, and seeing that he had stopped talking, Kane, Whitebeard Bolton, and several of them turned their heads in unison to look at Vera Lopez.
Whitebeard Bolton's brain hurts, and he can't interject, which makes him very distressed, but he really can only count on the scientists for this matter, so like the other high staff, he must endure them to continue to barabala.
Vera said: "That's why I'm trying my best to save the space-based platform, most of the disadvantages you mentioned are in the atmosphere, and the combat effectiveness of the Sky Blade fighter in the atmosphere will be greatly weakened, and the cruising speed will be below Mach 20. โ
"I think the material of the Tianjian fighter should be based on carbonylene alloy, it may be more expensive than the B-2, and it is not surprising that the US military cannot afford to spend it, let alone the Chinese?"
"The home field of the Sky Blade fighter is the high-altitude atmosphere, and only here can its greatest strategic value be released, that is, to destroy orbiting satellites and paralyze the enemy's communication capabilities, and secondly, whether it is a sea-based nuclear submarine or a land-based silos, ICBMs carrying nuclear warheads will break through the high-altitude atmosphere and eventually return to the atmosphere, and the Skyblade fighter can intercept ICBMs outside the high-altitude atmosphere."
"As for the air-based, it goes without saying, even if the Sky Blade fighter is restricted in the atmosphere, the generation gap in technology still makes all non-aerospace vehicles desperate."
"If the Sky Blade fighter does not enter outer space, it does not pose a strategic threat, as long as it enters outer space, where does the smog come from? What's more, in outer space, not only will the output energy level of the laser not be attenuated, but the solar wind in outer space carries a large number of charged particles, and the resulting inverse Compton effect also increases a certain energy level. โ
"Another thing you said is wrong, the laser energy level I said is not a megawatt output power, but a 10,000 gigawatt output power, you don't need to irradiate for a minute, one second is enough."
The middle-aged man's scientific advisor was noncommittal about Vera's previous remarks, but when he heard her last sentence, he was stunned and immediately scoffed.
"Tens of thousands of gigawatts of output? Even if the solar panels on the space-based platform are expanded by a hundredfold, they will not meet the energy level requirements of this order of magnitude, oh, maybe, charge it for a whole year, and finally hand in a shot, the time may be only 1 millisecond. โ
The middle-aged scientific advisor smiled sarcastically and turned his head away.
Kane and the others watched the two scientists talk to each other, and everyone looked at Vera Lopez again, I have to say that Vera is very arrogant, in her eyes, all the human race except for the few hundred people, everyone else's heads are a pot of paste, if it weren't for the need for appropriation, plus Marilyn Hewson's persuasion to come, she didn't want to stay here and waste time at all.
Vera put it succinctly: "What if the space-based platform had a fusion core reactor? โ
โWhat๏ผโ
โare you killing me๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ
The other two scientists who were invited to the meeting turned their heads to Vera Lopez in surprise.
"Could it be that the CFR controlled fusion research led by you has ......" The middle-aged scientific adviser wearing glasses raised his hand in astonishment to hold his glasses, but then shook his head: "Impossible, it can't be so fast, it is impossible for mankind to master controlled nuclear fusion in twenty years." โ
"Nothing is impossible, in fact, there is a 99% chance that the Chinese have mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, and they have also achieved incredible miniaturization, and the size of the Sky Blade fighter is unbelievably small. The power source can only be explained by controlled nuclear fusion, its range can cover the Earth-Moon system, and only the fusion core can maintain energy consumption. โ
Another scientific adviser who attended the meeting said that the middle-aged scientist with glasses did not say anything to refute it, which means that he acquiesced.
Even the aerospace plane has appeared, and it is still the kind that can be transformed into a mecha, and it is not a fantasy to say that the Chinese have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, otherwise it is impossible to explain what energy the power of the Sky Blade fighter depends on.
Superconducting batteries? It is true that the energy density is currently the highest in the world, but it is not possible. If it is power consumption, the engine of the Heavenly Blade fighter must be an electric propulsion engine, but the problem comes again, there will definitely not be such a monster-level thrust, and the ionic engine will not work at all.
Chemical fuels? That's even more unlikely.
Antimatter? It is also impossible, although it has been proven that antimatter is objective, but natural antimatter has never been found in nature.
Then there is only one explanation - nuclear energy!
Even the arrogant Vera Sister Paper didn't expect that the energy core of the Sky Blade Fighter was light.
It is impossible for light to be captured, light has no static mass, and it is impossible to produce thrust, otherwise it violates the conservation of momentum.
Therefore, using the elimination method, in the end, it was agreed that only nuclear energy is the most tenable.
At this time, the Secretary of Defense, who had always been silent, finally spoke, and he looked at the North American genius girl who was present.
"Ms. Vera, I want you to give me an accurate answer, can the CFR project you lead in Loma be successful?"
