In fact, the concept of weapons proposed by Yu Qian was put forward by military weapons experts of the US federal as early as the 80s of the last century, because the design inspiration of this concept came from the "accidents" that were widely circulated at that time (the frozen urine column fell from the bathroom of the plane and killed a woman and a coin was thrown on the top floor of the Empire State Building to kill a pedestrian, which was purely fabricated), so it did not attract attention.

However, at the beginning of this century, the international anti-nuclear wave became more and more intense, especially after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan, people in various countries talked about nuclear discoloration, and in order to cope with the possible nuclear disarmament, the US military began to develop a space-based kinetic energy weapon system called the "Scepter of God."

The so-called God's scepter is a cylinder made of tungsten, titanium or uranium metal weighing several tons, and then used small rocket propulsion and free fall, so that the high-density metal rod has huge kinetic energy in the process of falling, and under the precise guidance of the satellite, the metal rod can hit the target at ultra-high speed.

This is a new type of strategic deterrence weapon capable of carrying out precision strikes against high-value strategic targets, and in the description of US military experts, it has the advantages of a wide strike range, short reaction time, strong defense breaking capability, strong survivability, and low environmental pollution, and can also occupy the humanitarian initiative in the general anti-nuclear trend.

However, the Scepter of God, which has so many merits, has not been able to obtain a large amount of research funding for a long time, and has instead been used by the United States as a smokescreen in the arms race, which only plays a role in confusing its opponents.

Why? In the final analysis, there is only one reason: the so-called space-based kinetic weapon system, which sounds high-end and high-end, has a lot of drawbacks.

Although theoretically, the Scepter of God has no infrared signal when it is launched, and the radar cross-section is very small, which is not easy to detect and difficult to warn; Although the theoretical flight time of the Staff of God is only a few minutes, plus the start of the track adjustment does not exceed twenty minutes; Although the weapon medium of the Staff of God is a heat-resistant metal, it is difficult to intercept......

But! The Scepter of God is extremely expensive to manufacture, extremely cost-effective, and extremely unexpected!

First of all, the metal rod rubs violently with the atmosphere during the fall, which will not only reduce the speed, but also affect the accuracy of the fall, taking the tungsten rod as an example, to make the tungsten rod weighing several tons accelerate to the expected speed during the fall, it is necessary to use a booster rocket to accelerate, the fuel that needs to be consumed during the fall process may be heavier than the tungsten rod itself, and to send so much fuel to the satellite orbit, the launch cost will be several times greater.

Second, satellites are not stationary objects, and if the satellites are far away from the target when they need to carry out a strategic strike, they need to enter a suitable orbit through orbital transfer maneuvers, which requires a lot of time and fuel, and unless the United States can launch a complete satellite network with a strike surface covering the whole world, the so-called "suitable for striking time-sensitive targets" is nothing more than a lie to defraud research funds.

In addition, although the Scepter of God in satellite orbit can avoid the range of aircraft and conventional missiles, it is still within reach in front of the high-orbit anti-satellite rockets of China, the Russian Federation and other countries, so the weapon system does not actually have the security boasted by the media.

If the Scepter is too fast, it is likely to make a small hole in the target like a bullet through a plank, and it will not be able to deal enough damage to large buildings, and if the Scepter of God is too slow, it will probably not be able to destroy the wartime command center located hundreds of meters underground. In other words, the Scepter of God is an unstable, uncontrollable, and uneconomical weapon.

But when this weapon concept is combined with Yu Qian's ability to possess gods, it will have a completely different effect, and if it is combined with the help of the Zero One base, it will produce earth-shaking changes.

Precision guidance is extremely difficult? Not a problem at all.

Even if the thermal protective coating and thermal control system cannot ensure that the friction between the missile and the air will not be damaged after entering the atmosphere, even if the friction generates extremely high heat and causes damage to the internal precision electronic components, the bounce is worn or disintegrated, even if the missile body will be affected by uncertain factors such as air flow and density differences, even if the missile body has no tail correction and no terminal guidance, there are also missile bodies that Yu Qian can control the fall.

Coupled with the simulation operation of the 01 base, Yu Qian only needs to look at the three-dimensional electronic map and the pictures taken by the reconnaissance satellite and move his fingers, and he can fine-tune the missile body to accurately land in the target area.

Uncontrollable damage? Again, this is not a problem, relying on the cooperation of the Zero One Base and Yu Qian, after the space-based kinetic energy weapon system is put into satellite orbit, only a few experiments need to be conducted, and Zero One can simulate and calculate the whole process of the next strategic strike based on the experimental data.

Of course, if this is the case, then the cost performance of this weapon system is still not high, with today's space transportation system, to send high-quality metal rods into orbit, the cost will be an astronomical amount, and after paying a high price, the return can be very limited, unless the Far Rescue Association itself funded, it is difficult for Yang Xiaoqian to persuade the national space system to spend a lot of money to build this space-based weapon system for Yu Qian.

But Yu Qian's ability is by no means limited to this, because Yu Qian can control his own metal with divine thoughts at an ultra-long distance, then after installing a booster rocket with strong thrust and sufficient fuel, the metal rod running in the satellite orbit can not only strike on the ground, but also strike at satellites and space stations!

With the current technology, it is impossible for any country or organization to evade or intercept such a fatal blow from a satellite launched by any country or organization!

In other words, as long as this conceptual weapon can be put into orbit, then the survival of the satellites of various countries depends on the thought of humility!

If you want to live, you will live, if you want to die, you will die!

And what does it mean for the satellite to be destroyed? The founder of the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University once said, "If we lose our communications satellites, then there is no bandwidth to speak of." ”

Once the long-range communication satellites are destroyed, the burden of long-range communication will be borne only by submarine cables and land-based communication systems, which will severely damage the country's communication capacity, and ordinary citizens will become "deaf" and "blind" without access to the Internet, television or even radio.

From a military point of view, although most military communications do not use or rely on satellite systems, after the loss of satellites, all the country's tasks must be carried out by non-satellite means, and the precision guidance capability of conventional missiles is almost completely lost.

Even the first power like the United States Federation, once it loses all its satellites, it will be as weak as a baby in the face of an unscathed China.

Therefore, Yu Qian's "sword" may not always point to the ground.

When his gaze turned to the sky, he raised his hand to be able to sword the sky!
