0212 Space warfare requires big ships and huge guns
"This, this thing, in the Earth's orbit?"
The representative of a certain country stammered and asked, and everyone was shocked, obviously thinking of this question as well.
It can accelerate the mass of tens of thousands of tons to an average speed of millions of kilometers per hour, what would happen if it was fired towards the earth?
"Because of safety concerns, the Rainbow Bridge accelerates in one direction and will be deployed to the far side of the moon," Xia Ming had obviously considered for a long time.
Relying on the Earth's orbital cargo transfer system, the cost of flying to the far side of the moon is not high, with the moon in the middle, people on the earth have at least a barrier, although it is also a psychological comfort, and it is useless. The moon is shattered, and so is the Earth.
From this point of view, once human beings go to the Great Star Sea, the earth will be as fragile as an egg, and the security problem is extremely prominent.
Why Xia Ming is very disgusted with the ruling groups of various countries still clinging to their own vested interests, because in the new era, from the earth's orbit to the entire solar system, security issues will become the overriding number one problem for mankind, and to solve this problem, the national system on the earth cannot be solved, and the international organization composed of the state as the main body cannot solve it, and the earth's orbit is an example.
Before the Earth Federation was formed, an organization like the Star Federation, which was above the state, had to assume a considerable part of the responsibility of guarding outer space.
"It's still too unsafe, it's equivalent to putting a loaded pistol under your pillow, and if you're not careful, you're going to go off", the representative of a certain country shook his head vigorously, just deploying laser satellites and spike railguns in the earth's orbit, it makes people tremble, create such a world-destroying level thing, and still sleep peacefully at night?
"After the Rainbow Bridge is built, our ability to move around the solar system will be greatly improved. We can build robot mines and factories in the asteroid belt faster, export materials to the stargate faster and cheaper, and build space stations on Mars and Jupiter...... Most importantly, we are more confident in dealing with threats in the stargates. ”
Xia Ming said this, since you are the representatives of the UNOC, you should have enough understanding of the threat in the stargate and the expansion of human beings in the solar system. If at this time, he still needs to use his words to persuade and even clean the earth's orbit to coerce him as he did at the beginning, it will be a complete failure for him.
"Can the existing technology do it?" The representative of the United States asked very practical questions.
"The model is only the ultimate form, the original rainbow bridge, which was only one-tenth the size and the ejection weight was less than 1,000 tons, could be done with the existing space stack, ion engine and intelligent adjustment. It cost about $200 billion, and if it were to be built at full capacity, it could be completed in 10 months. ”
"The ultimate form requires another breakthrough in material technology, with a greater output of the Hertz fusion reactor and a complete revolution in the ion engine and circuitry, which is estimated to cost $2 trillion and can be completed within five years."
There was a toothache-like gasp in the venue, technology and time are still second, twenty trillion dollars!?
Xia Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone, haven't you carefully read the GEI's GDP estimates for each country this year?" Especially the space industry segment. ”
The representative of Huaxia is still Xing Tianmin, and nodded in agreement: "The space industry has brought great stimulation to the GDP of various countries, and the financial revenue has also risen sharply, but it was all spent in the Stargate War before, and everyone didn't feel much about it." ”
The representatives of various countries came back to their senses and nodded secretly. Joining the UNOC was initially a huge financial burden. However, with the formation of the space industry, the positive impact of this new engine on the national economy has gradually been revealed, and the stamina is like a torrent, which is more violent than the original Internet economy. At present, it is only the military and basic industries that are affected, and when it comes to all aspects of society, the power will be pushed together like a nuclear reaction.
To take a simple example, after the end of the Stargate War, space departments and private companies in various countries still have a large number of launch contracts, and have prepared corresponding materials and resources for this purpose.
Just like the United States made dumplings in World War II, when the war ended, there were still a large number of unfinished orders. Stopping orders immediately is an unacceptable loss for the factory and workers, and the government has to pay high liquidated damages, so they have to continue construction.
The UNOC also had to continue with these plans, and continued deliveries of hydrogen bombs were one of them. But at this time, the need for many supplies is not so urgent, and the UNOC has also relaxed restrictions, allowing space companies to handle the surplus on their own.
In the past few months, this is how the sudden outbreak of space tourism fever has come. You can go to space for 10,000 dollars, and you can live on the International Space Station for more than 100,000 dollars. Space hotels attached to the International Space Station have also appeared, and countless billionaires suffering from hyperia, as well as space projects of some countries and international organizations, have also taken this low-cost commercial express to the sky.
According to rough estimates, during this period, space companies in various countries have made billions of dollars on the extra money of space tourism. If the orbital launch technology matures, the industry will also become the norm.
The deputies exchanged words and asked Xia Ming some questions, most of which were technical.
The biggest difficulty is how to receive the cargo after ejection. Xia Ming explained that in the initial stage, a deceleration track will be built near the stargate, and laser deceleration technology will also be studied, through the installation of laser sails on the top of the cargo, and the use of mobile laser irradiation devices to slow down the cargo at the destination. Of course, if the ship is catapulted, it is up to the ship's own engine to slow down.
After two or three hours of Q&A and discussion, UNOC finally decided to work with Starlink to build the Rainbow Bridge. Starlink designed and provided the corresponding technology, and UNOC was responsible for organizing the construction. After completion, it will be operated by a non-profit public welfare company, and Starlink and UNOC will jointly manage it.
After getting the Rainbow Bridge plan, let's talk about the situation in the Star Gate.
Now that UNOC and Starlink are side by side, the biggest gain in the stargate, the giant ship of the mutant Borg's lair, is also open to the two.
For scientists, what is really worth studying is actually Qianyi's temporary body, the planet suspended in the stargate, composed of strange matter similar to the moon.
However, Xia Ming said that it is the carrier of Xingmen intelligence, which is completely unanalyzable in terms of human existing technology, and any action taken rashly will trigger an unknowable reaction, and he suggested not touching it for the time being.
Xia Ming said it politely, but the UNOC knew that this was a warning, and the scientists of the Academy of Space Sciences, especially Professor Hawking, had to regretfully abandon the research plan. However, Xia Ming was too lazy to care about the strange planet through the telescope, and he couldn't care about it, anyway, they couldn't study anything.
The lair giant ship has been towed to the vicinity of the Siyuan space station of the Star Federation, connected together for joint research, the scientists of the two sides have cooperated very happily, and some new technologies in biology, biochemistry and materials have been discovered one after another, but they have not yet reached the level of breaking through human technology, just giving some references.
After communicating the scientific situation, the UNOC talked about the military aspect.
Younas is going to be rebuilt, and the UNOC wants to consult Xia Ming about what direction the future space war will be.
"It's not okay to stack people in the stargate, and stacking robots is not very reliable, so I still recommend that Younas accept the training program of our Starlink special services and use robots as an aid."
"In terms of combat equipment, the design and manufacture of space fighters and warships is imminent. I also saw it in the Battle of Stargate, and the first rule in space warfare is big! Only large ships can adapt to the harsh environment of space warfare, especially the existence of combat exclusion zones. The cannon can only deal effective damage to the target, and if the mutant Borg's lair moves, we have no ability to stop it at all. ”
Xia Ming talked about his heartfelt words, without any reservations. He genuinely hopes that Younas is on the right path and can fight side by side with Starlink. If it all depends on the Star Federation, it will inevitably push the Star Federation to the road of dominating mankind and establishing the Earth Federation, and this road does not meet Xia Ming's expectations for himself and the Star Federation.
After saying this, Xia Ming received a wry smile from Xing Tianmin and You Kuang at the same time in his field of vision, and he also knew that the UNOC would not accept this direction.
In the view of the UNOC, a small number of capable personnel have enough force to rule mankind, and this kind of existence, it is enough to have a star union, and the existence of the star union has to be accepted. It is too risky to create such an existence by oneself that is uncontrollable. If these people are all cultivated by the training program provided by Xia Ming, it means that they accept Xia Ming's concept, and who will Younas listen to when the time comes?
In front of Xia Ming, the representatives of various countries naturally did not say it directly, but only talked about some details.
There is no problem with the direction of the big ship and the giant cannon, but Xia Ming's distrust of the combat robot makes the representatives of various countries very disapproving. Didn't you just rely on power armor and robot stand-ins to make your fortune? Are you afraid that the UNOC will threaten your Star Alliance with its robot army?
That's right, the robot army does have fatal flaws in some aspects, such as the unreliable combat effectiveness under the impact of EMP. However, the Battle of Stargate proved that the opponent was a mutated monster, there was no advanced thinking and intelligence, and the performance of the battle robot in the decisive battle was still good.
Xia Ming naturally couldn't change their concepts, after all, there were no examples.
In the follow-up discussion, the design and production of space warships and space fighters, the military cooperation system between Younas and the Star Alliance, and other details do not need to be brought forward by Xia Ming. This trip to the United Nations headquarters is more of a symbol, symbolizing that the rift between Xia Ming and the UNOC after the Battle of Stargate has been repaired, and the two sides are still close partners.
"I don't know what the surviving Younas officers and soldiers will think, although they are voluntary, if they can be trained by the Star Federation to improve their consciousness and vitality, instead of relying on injections and on-site stimulation to survive, they should be happy. The UNOC rejected this plan out of wariness of the Star Federation, and did not consider it from their position at all......"
Shang Xin also accompanied Xia Ming to the meeting, which opened his eyes, and finally realized what kind of status Xia Ming is now, and how UNOC and Starlink have come all the way.
Based on the soldier's heart of a military family, Shangxin is very dissatisfied with the attitude of the UNOC in the training program.
Xia Ming is also very helpless, the improvement of self-consciousness means that the evolution of the self and the relationship with the organization will also change from the subordinate of the worker bee to the existence of equality.
As the armed force of the UNOC, Younas carries the organizational blood of human beings at the national level, emphasizing strict organization and collective will, which is naturally rejected by this kind of self-evolution.
It's okay, Younas goes in one direction, Starlink goes in one direction, and everyone makes up for each other.
Xia Ming no longer thought about this question, and asked casually: "What happened to those surviving officers and soldiers of Younas?" ”
After eliminating that fusion individual, Qian Yi was busy anchoring the exit, gathering high-dimensional space-time fragments, those people had been violated by thinking, whether there would be any problems, he didn't know.
He once asked Qianyi, and Qianyi said that after she supported the high-dimensional space-time fragments, her vision also went up to a higher level, and her perception of the chaotic strings was raised to the macroscopic level, and she couldn't grasp the extremely weak aggression. Of course, if Xia Ming designated, she could have focused and observed, but at that time, the remnants of Younas's officers and soldiers had already left.
Shangxin said: "I have listed this matter as a priority concern of Tai'an, and I have not reported it yet", "Tai'an" is a new GEI of Starlink, which is responsible for intelligence work, which is equivalent to Shangxin's partner.
"Continue to pay attention, four or five hundred people, I don't think there is no problem with anyone", Xia Ming casually explained, although this matter needs attention, it is not a big deal.
The big thing is that the Star Alliance will expand its army and build it into a space army with large ships and huge cannons...... (To be continued.) )
