Space-based weapons are a weapon concept put forward by mankind when they are preparing to enter the space age.

At this stage, this weapon refers to a new concept weapon system composed of a combination of weapons in Earth orbit and weapons launched by such a weapon platform.

Satellites and space stations can become launching platforms for space-based weapons. Space-based weapons are divided into two types because of their firing patterns.

The first is space-based laser weapons, which fire high-intensity lasers to strike ground targets or enemy satellites in space. The second is a projectile space-based weapon, which launches a very high mass and density of material in space, and uses the Earth's own gravity to accelerate it to achieve a devastating strike effect.

But a new-concept weapon is a new-concept weapon, and so far, no country has declared that it has truly mastered space-based weapons. Whether it is a space-based laser weapon or a projection space-based weapon.

Major General Nick has a deep understanding of this, so when Wen Ming began to question his intelligence system, he said: "Theoretically speaking, it is really impossible to achieve projection space-based weapons at present, and there is no way to create real projection space-based weapons, including us in the United States." As for space-based laser satellites, with the current level of technology, it is even more impossible to achieve, and I think you know this better than me. ”

In the current field of laser weapons, if Wen Ming says that he is the first, absolutely no one can deny it. Because his Umbrella Company, or rather himself, is the only one in the world capable of making a conventional-grade energy gun weapon and guarding this defensive laser weapon.

Wen Ming nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to launch a laser weapon that can hit a target on the surface from the orbit around the earth, it is completely impossible to achieve it from the current stage." As for projection space-based weapons, although it is true that tungsten rods or other high-density objects of the same kind can be sent into space, it is still the same sentence, and no one can grasp its landing point. ”

The United States of the other world has a space-based weapon program, a projection-type space-based weapon called the Scepter of God. However, the research on the Staff of God began in 2012 and was completed until 2025. With the military strength of the US Government, it will take more than 10 years to realize this weapon, and there is a certain hope that in the continuous development of science and technology, it can be imagined how difficult it is to manufacture this weapon.

At this time, the world was still in 2010, although Wen Ming, a time-traveling person, and his daydreams had a certain degree of influence on the technological level of this world. But this kind of influence can almost be said to be acting on Wen Ming's body, and the technological level of other people has not improved much.

The only Moldovan institute where real black technology broke out, all the researchers also died. And the technology they have mastered has also been obtained by Wen Ming, even if the US military has obtained all the remaining equipment and materials in the ruins of the Moldovan research institute, it is impossible to copy the manufacturing technology of the Netherworld within five years.

Not to mention, that kind of nether is not yet in control.

Major General Nick did not discuss with Wen Ming possible problems with his intelligence system because he did not believe that his intelligence system would have problems.

"But as far as I know, if tungsten rods are used to hit fixed targets, the current technology can still be realized."

Hearing Major General Nick's words, Wen Ming laughed and said: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case, because although the earth has been doing rotation and revolution, we have mastered the laws of it, and through calculation, we can indeed make certain objects fall from space in a certain area of the earth." ”

"But it's just one area."

Wen Ming paused for a moment and said to Major General Nick: "The power of projection space-based weapons actually comes from its speed before entering the earth's atmosphere, because the earth has an atmosphere, and the atmosphere can cause resistance to space-based weapons. I think this should be an experimental question. ”

"Even if the shape of the tungsten rod can be controlled when it is made to reduce the air resistance and reduce the kinetic energy consumption when it reaches the ground, if the speed before entering the earth's atmosphere does not reach a certain level, then even with the growth rate of the earth's gravity, it is impossible to achieve the desired attack effect."

"It's easy to speed up in outer space, but speeds that can't be achieved in the atmosphere can be easily achieved in space. But this brings us to the problem that the faster you go, the less control you have. ”

Wen Ming made an analogy and asked, "When you were driving, did you try to cross a right-angle bend at 180 yards?" ”

Major General Nick felt that Wen Ming was taking him for a fool, but he had to reply: "No, I haven't tried 120 yards over the right angle." ”

Wen Ming smiled: "Yes, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to control when cornering, and if you don't drift, that will be the end of the car being destroyed and killed." But even a professional driver who often plays drifting doesn't dare to use 180 yards to cross a right-angle corner,"

"Although there is no such thing as a corner in space, but if you think about it, the speed of tungsten rods in outer space is calculated in Mach, at this speed, do you think that if there is a mistake, it can be corrected in time?"

"There is an old saying in China, it is said that the difference is a thousand miles, and the distance from outer space to the earth, as long as there is even a millimeter of error, it may be thousands of kilometers away from the target after landing."

Wen Ming concluded: "Do you think this weapon is possible to achieve under the current level of science and technology? ”

Major General Nick was silent, and he was shocked when he saw the target launch a satellite carrying tungsten rods. But the source of his shock is that money can really do a lot of things.

If the target person is not $250 billion, how can it be possible to launch a satellite carrying tungsten rods?

But after getting the information and discussing it with Wen Ming, he felt that he was really too naïve, how could a science fiction weapon like a space-based weapon be realized so easily?

"That is." Major General Nick asked seriously: "Do you think the space-based weapon of the target person is just a ...... 'toy' used to intimidate us?" ”

Wen Ming nodded and said: "Yes, I think this is just a deterrent measure, just like someone robbing with a knife, in fact, if the object of the robbery has a certain ability to resist, then even if the other party holds a knife, he may not be able to beat him." Or in the process of your operation, the enemy has a gun, but the marksmanship is really bad, and the bullet will not hit you after the shot. ”

Wen Ming didn't know what kind of correction his daydream cause and effect had made to this world, nor did he know whether the target person's space-based weapon was a toy or not.

However, he must make Major General Nick stop worrying and use thunderous means to eliminate the target.

Yes, Wen Ming said that these are all lies that seem to be correct, because it involves the cause and effect of daydreams, can it really be viewed with common sense?

Not to mention that the target person has the technology to control the exact landing point of the tungsten rod, just to say the role of daydream cause and effect, it is possible to make the target person very lucky, and smash the tungsten rod on Jurassic Island, or where Wen Ming is located.

In this case, how could Wen Ming let the target person use a space-based weapon as a talisman and exist for a long time?

can't prevent thieves for a thousand days, so Wen Ming wants to enhance Major General Nick's confidence and solve the target as soon as possible.

Major General Nick, who didn't know Wen Ming's 'sinister' thoughts at all, was of course impossible to be moved by Wen Ming's words.

"I'm going to have a meeting now, and I'll talk about it when I get back."

Obviously, Major General Nick is going to consult an expert he really trusts.
