Chapter Eighty-Six: The Star Harbor

From a security point of view, it can be expected that from the moment the space battleship is really manufactured, most of the weapons it is loaded with are terrestrial weapons against the planet, rather than ship-to-ship weapons used for space operations, after all, in the absence of a real alien civilization attack, Blue Star will still continue to move forward on the road of unification, and Du Jin has already seen from the history of the Interstellar Federation on this side of the blood-imprinted world that if according to the normal development process, the nuclear war that is enough to set human civilization back a hundred or even a thousand years later is excluded, Complete unification is probably very difficult.

Only when the development of space colonization to a certain extent, different space countries will carry out large-scale wars, otherwise everyone will throw all kinds of space age weapons on the blue star, then ten more human civilizations will not be enough, and at that time, the satellites around the blue star are basically a dispensable ornament, if there is really a threat of war, these fragile threats let alone resist the artillery fire of those space battleships, even if they are gently scraped by these warships, they basically can't escape the fate of destruction. Of course, this is also reflected in the role of Starport as a planetary outpost.

After all, according to Du Jin's understanding, even if the Interstellar Federation, a basically mature space human civilization, the communication on the planetary colonies and even the connection between different planets are also realized through space satellites of different scales, after all, under the protection of the colonial starport, these satellites that are not too armed are not so easy to destroy, and their relatively "cheap" production and maintenance costs are still not negligible, of course, the connection between the planets first relies on the starport as the primary repeater, Then the relevant information can be handed over to the satellite for processing, and as for the communication between galaxies, even if it is a federation, it can only rely on the starship as a carrier for the transmission of information.

The injuries on Du Jin's body have almost recovered from nearly two hours of rest, after all, the Federation's advanced space-level medical technology, coupled with Du Jin's own recovery ability strengthened by black blood marks, those dark injuries and treatment sequelae are gone, after Du Jin put on the clothes prepared by the medical officer, Li Mengyan also opened the door of the lounge in time and walked in, looking at Du Jin who was wearing the crew uniform, she felt that the sense of disobedience on Du Jin's body had disappeared a lot at this time, after all, under the influence of Li Mengyan, As a scientific research officer, Du Jin has always been wearing a silver cabin experimental suit, and he was wearing a combat exoskeleton armor before, and there is a strong sense of contrast between him and the "non-combatant" in Li Mengyan's eyes, but Li Mengyan subconsciously prefers the latter's Du Jin.

After all, as an officer, in Li Mengyan's opinion, wearing combat armor is undoubtedly the most secure and trusting choice.

"Yes, it fits perfectly."

"Uh...... Thank you! ”

After a short exchange, Li Mengyan took Du Jin out of the medical hall, preparing to go to the connecting track between the starship and the maintenance workshop to leave the Xunyang, on the way Du Jin also met Ren Chao and Xiang Yuan, of course, including the inspector Xu Nianmeng, she was by Ren Chao's side at this time, and her aura was much more restrained than when Du Jin first saw her, for this woman who didn't seem to be much older than himself, Du Jin actually didn't have any disgust, after all, at that time, he and Li Mengyan directly asked the battleship to evade and leave the assigned mission area, not to mention Xu Nianmeng, if you think about it from another perspective, even Du Jin himself will ask the other party why he did this, although Xu Nianmeng's tone of words was a little more intense, but for this "impartial and strict" inspector, Du Jin did not have any bad emotions.

And judging from Du Jin's own perception, Xu Nianmeng seems to have some complicated emotions for Ren Chao, which can be seen from her eyes, but Du Jin just sees that it is not easy for this young man who has just fallen in love to recognize his own heart, and how can he have a keen insight into other people's emotional changes?

And Xu Nianmeng seemed to be more happy when he saw Du Jin and Li Mengyan, after all, if it weren't for Li Mengyan's early reminder and let Ren Chao, as the captain, unfold the shield in advance, I'm afraid that the damage to the Xunyang would be even more serious, and the second particle cannon might not only shatter a small opening in the observation window of the bridge, but it is not impossible to directly penetrate the entire bridge.

Particles are extremely small microscopic particles such as electrons, protons, neutrons and other positively and negatively charged ions, and particle beam weapons are a weapon that accelerates electrons, protons, neutrons, and particles to nearly the speed of light through specific methods, gathers into dense beam particles, and shoots directly at the target, killing and destroying the target with beam or other efficiency.

Among them, the killing mechanism is the killing mechanism of particle beam weapons, which is to use high-energy particles to transfer a large amount of energy to the target in a short time, and achieve the killing purpose through the strong interaction between high-energy particles and target substances, and there are three basic mechanisms. Ablation target. When it collides on the target, the particles and the material molecules of the target shell collide inelastically, and the energy is transferred and deposited on the target shell in the form of heat, so that the target shell instantly reaches a very high temperature, so that it quickly vaporizes and breaks, and the particle beam will also penetrate the target shell, enter the inside of the target, collide with the target material, and transfer energy to them. Let it melt and burn through, destroying the internal structure.

Particle beam weapons are generally composed of a particle beam generation device, an energy system, an early warning subsystem, a target tracking and aiming subsystem, and a command and control subsystem, and the particle beam generation device is the core part of the particle beam weapon system, which is used to generate high-energy particle beams and gather them into a narrow beam to make them have sufficient energy and intensity. The particle beam generation device mainly includes particle sources, particle injectors, accelerators and other equipment, and the energy system is the power source of each component of the particle beam weapon, providing power for the weapon system, and is the "ammunition depot" of the particle beam weapon.

In short, if it weren't for Ren Chao's advance deployment of ion energy shields to offset the direct bombardment of most of the high-energy particles, then the entire particle shield and the surface armor of the Xunyang would be easily shredded like paper, it is conceivable that even if more than 90% of the particle beams are stopped by the ion energy shield, the remaining energy of less than ten percent or even lower can make the heaviest outer armor and particle shield of the bridge except for the ammunition supply compartment unbearable, you know, The seemingly transparent observation window of the bridge is actually made up of countless virtual screens with extremely high tightness and display specifications.

These virtual screens are enough to make human eyes unable to distinguish the gap with the real picture, and behind them, is a thick alloy explosion-proof wall, the outer layer is also prepared with special protective materials to make the outer layer of armor, it is not an exaggeration to say, according to the degree of solidity and cost, this outer layer of armor is absolutely beyond the reach of other parts of the hull, of course, this is also why the same attack and ion energy shield defense, the bridge is just a hole, However, there was a huge wound in the abdomen of the Xunyang's hull that almost caused the balance of the cabin life support system.

Several people greeted each other a few words, and then walked towards the entrance of the connecting track together, and the connecting track is also the same as the observation window structure of the Xunyang bridge, although it seems to be "transparent", but in fact it is no different from those alloy passages that block the view but have a sense of security, when looking at the scene of the Xinggang maintenance area up close, Du Jin found the gap between the actual scale and his fantasy, and there are dozens of warships of various sizes moored in the direction of his sight, estimated from the size, The Xunyang is like an elk in front of an elephant, and judging from its size and the equipment on the surface of the ship, you can see the armed strength of the Ganymede colony from the side.

Those gravitational traction locks that faintly emit a faint blue light firmly maintain each battleship in their respective harbor positions, and what makes Du Jin feel the most intuitive is that even if he does not prepare exoskeleton armor at this time, he can still feel the existence of gravity in his footsteps, although it is not comparable to the planetary gravity of the Blue Star, but there is no difference between it and the gravity in the Xunyang, you must know that the Xunyang began to have an artificial gravity generation device, and the Star Harbor can make such a large space have a stable gravity structure, Technology of this scale can only be said to have made Du Jin's cognition climb up a level in an instant.

At present, as long as the current human beings Xia Guo, M country and polar bear have sufficient say in the field of outer space gravity structure, even if those countries in the camp of M country have been advocating that Xia country is inferior to M country in all aspects of outer space, but from the actual results and reality, Xia Guo has basically completed the construction of the space station has already begun to use and research, and artificial gravity is one of the key research projects.

Nowadays, there are several concepts for generating artificial gravity on spacecraft. Some of them have little to do with reality, but others have the potential to come true, and the first theory is considered the most fantastic. According to the classical theory of relativity, gravitational force is the curvature of space-time, which is due to the action of huge cosmic objects such as planets or stars, the concept of which is to create a certain curvature of space and time inside the ship, which will help to create artificial gravity. However, it is unlikely that modern technologies will allow the implementation of such technologies. It should also be borne in mind that science does not yet have a mature theory of gravity. Currently, many scientists around the world are working on the development of quantum theory.

Gravity and acceleration, the second option is more acceptable for our reality - the creation of gravity by operating a rocket engine. Moreover, this option is much easier to implement. It's ideal for flying to distant planets. The principle is simple - the engine accelerates the ship in the first part of the flight, and then slows it down. Due to the difference in speed, downforce will be created on board, which will provide the necessary gravity, of course, the weightlessness in this case will not disappear completely, but most of the time the passengers will be able to consume in more acceptable conditions, similar to the gravity of the Earth.

Gravity and centrifugal force, the third edition is often featured in various science fiction films. Moreover, it can also be implemented on spacecraft. The idea is to create artificial gravity by giving centrifugal force to the ship, the weightlessness will remain in the center of the shuttle, and the shell will act as a living room, where the attraction due to rotation will work. You can even check how such a system works at home. For example, if you lift a bucket of water and start spinning at high speed, the water will not be poured out of the container, which should work given that there is no gravity in space. The only question was the realization of such a concept, for which it was necessary to create a sufficiently large ship with a huge outer ring.

Unfortunately, although the methods corresponding to these three theories can be "used" on the model in the laboratory, the theory and practice are completely different.
