Chapter 382: Space-based weapons, the world is in a panic
With the explanation of the official barrage, at this time, everyone in the live broadcast room understood and knew that the impact just now was not a lander crash, but a drilling device launched from a manned spacecraft.
And when he learned this and looked at the pit bombarded on the screen, he immediately gasped.
In the past, everyone was worried about what to do to complete the punching in the face of such a thick lunar soil.
Unexpectedly, the space office officials did not choose the inefficient and stupid method of lunar rover excavation.
Directly carry out the bombardment and punch the hole, once and for all.
This saves a lot of time and can improve the progress of the construction of the lunar base.
However, such a powerful drilling device really made countless people's jaws drop.
Totally beyond imagination.
It is important to know that the Moon has less gravitational pull than the Earth's environment.
It is difficult to exert the full power of the drilling device.
In this case, it just proves the power of this drilling device.
It is conceivable that if this is used on the earth, with the gravitational pull of the earth, I am afraid that the power will be increased several times in the end.
It may not be comparable to the power of a nuclear long-range missile, but the key is to launch it from low-earth orbit, and the probability of successful interception is very low.
In other words, if such a device is deployed in low-earth orbit, it is likely that it will hit wherever it wants to hit the earth.
After gradually reacting, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room appeared in a concentrated outbreak, and the audience's suppressed emotions in the past few days were completely ignited, as if blood was boiling in their chests.
In addition, the external official media also reported the results in a timely manner, and pointed out that the drilling device was designed by Xu Yun alone.
After the entry quickly appeared on the new hot search, people who had not watched the live broadcast also poured into the live broadcast room.
I want to see the crater that has been bombarded with my own eyes.
It can be said that it didn't take long to see that the number of people online in the live broadcast room of the moon overseer has exceeded hundreds of millions.
And this number is rising rapidly.
If you enter the live broadcast room at this time and pause the barrage to refresh and watch, you will find that everyone is very excited at the moment.
expressed their feelings at the moment.
"I knew that since I dared to launch the Long March 10, it showed that the official must have confidence and confidence."
"Now you see, who said that the mission failed."
"It's actually the most direct punching method, and the technology in it is too awesome."
"With a device that can unleash such power on the moon, it is no wonder that the first human lunar base was built ahead of schedule."
"It scared me to death, I thought it was really a lander crash."
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling and watching the live stream."
"The thickness of tens of meters of lunar soil is directly bombarded in place, and you tell me this power is a drilling device?"
"That's what space-based weapons in science fiction movies are."
"Anyway, it's cool today, this live broadcast is not in vain, it makes people have a sense of alien invasion of the earth."
"I don't know what about the pipe hole under the pit, but don't be destroyed by the bombardment."
……
When the live broadcast room became a mess, the Yutu-3 lunar rover, which had already reached the bombardment area, was not idle, and began to scan the situation in the crater without caring about the surrounding splashes of lunar soil.
Detect what's going on inside.
On the surface, the bombardment was undoubtedly a success, directly opening up the thick layer of lunar soil.
However, whether the impact force formed by the impact has affected the internal structure needs to be judged in detail, and it is important to know that this can be related to the subsequent repairs and the landing of the core module of the base.
If it causes the pipe hole to collapse, no matter how successful the bombardment mission is, it will have no effect.
It's a wasted opportunity.
The most important thing is that the Yutu-3 lunar rover has not yet found another suitable lava tube cave alternative, and even if there is a drilling device on the manned spacecraft, it will still be useless in the short term.
Fortunately, their luck was obviously good, and soon the Yutu-3 lunar rover brought good news.
——
"We succeeded."
"The drilling device hit the target accurately and successfully opened the skylight."
Seeing the moment the huge pit appeared on the surface of the moon, Zhang Feng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and shouted excitedly.
Although Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei behaved quite calmly, they did not blame Zhang Feng, who was happy at this time.
It wasn't until Zhang Feng's mood stabilized that Xu Yun spoke: "Immediately investigate the situation in the pit today." ”
"Whether it can be used as our first lunar base depends on the results of the data that has been detected." Zhou Mingwei also took the conversation with a calm face when he heard this, and echoed a sentence.
The words of Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei undoubtedly poured cold water on Zhang Feng.
Soon came to his senses.
The same face became serious again.
"Yutu-3 has arrived at the designated location and is probing the internal environment of the deep pit."
Don't dare to hesitate, and immediately start to act after speaking.
With the help of artificial intelligence in the deep sea and the speed of quantum computers, the data from the rover's exploration is quickly analyzed into a three-dimensional pattern that can directly see the full details.
After Zhang Feng saw this three-dimensional figure, his eyes immediately regained his luster and were replaced by joy again.
"The results of the detection are in, and the inside of the pipe hole has not been affected."
immediately reported the good news to Xu Yun and Xu Yun, and the excitement he showed was like a child.
During this time, they were also under a lot of pressure, and the outside world was not very optimistic about them drilling holes in the lava pipe hole, believing that it would be a very unsuccessful launch mission.
Now it seems that the prophecy of the outside world has clearly failed.
"Now I think I can finally relax my tense spirit during this time, and I can definitely get a good night's sleep today." Hearing the result in Zhang Feng's mouth, Zhou Mingwei also rarely smiled at this moment.
Although Xu Yun didn't respond again, the smile on his face revealed that he was also happy at this time.
"Prepare to give the lander instructions to land, and then we need enough lunar rovers to clean the inside and surface of the pipe hole, and I hope to complete the construction of the lunar base as soon as possible." Xu Yun raised his gaze again to look at the screen in front of him, and continued to arrange the next things.
"Don't worry, I'll just leave the lander to me." Zhang Feng nodded and reassured after receiving the order.
This is not the first time that the lander has landed on the lunar surface, and it is carrying only three Yutu-3 lunar rovers.
You won't have any problems executing it.
Get these lunar rovers down sooner rather than later, so you can get to work in time.
You must know that with the four lunar rovers at the moment, it is not easy to clean up the deep pit in front of you.
It takes a long time to work diligently.
Xu Yun undoubtedly believed in Zhang Feng very much, so he didn't pay much attention to this kind of small task.
Meanwhile.
Along with the official report, it was specifically pointed out that the task of bombardment and punching of the pipe hole was successfully completed, and the audience in the live broadcast room could officially enter the supervision stage.
In addition, everyone was amazed when they learned that such a powerful drilling device was designed by Xu Yun.
I was once again impressed by Xu Yun's strong talent and strength.
It can be said that after this time, at least no one in China will question whether the lunar base can be completed.
And just when Zhang Feng began to command the lander to land, Zhao Hongyu, who witnessed the bombardment of the moon by the drilling device, also looked very complicated, but he didn't expect Xu Yun to design a spacecraft to such a terrifying level.
I don't know what I thought, I stood there and fell silent.
Temporarily handing over the command to Zhang Feng, Xu Yun rarely relaxed for a while, but he happened to notice the change in Zhao Hongyu's expression.
Anyway, the two of them are commanders, and because they carried out the launch mission of the Long March 10 together last time, they can be regarded as familiar with each other directly.
Moreover, the cooperation of this mission is also very good.
Faced with this situation, he was worried that there was something wrong with the other party, and without much hesitation, Xu Yun took the initiative to ask: "Why Commander Zhao, is there something wrong?" ”
Hearing Xu Yun's voice coming from his ears, Zhao Hongyu immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Yun.
After a slight pause of two seconds, he still voiced his concerns.
"I didn't expect the drilling device designed by Commander Xu to exert such great power on the moon, and now that the video is circulating, I'm afraid there will be many people who can't sleep."
At the end, I couldn't help but cry and laugh.
After all, because a spacecraft has brought so much panic to various forces around the world.
It's the first time I've ever experienced it.
Xu Yun listened to all of Zhao Hongyu's words into his ears, and immediately understood what the other party was worried about.
He was also a little helpless about this.
This sentence has been said by Zhou Mingwei before, saying that the power of the drilling device is too great, and it is very similar to the so-called space-based weapon.
But he had to explain.
The original intention of the drilling rig was to open a skylight for the lava tube caverns on the moon.
The ultimate goal is to build the first lunar base for mankind.
Didn't think about weapons at all.
As for what happens if it's a little more powerful, it's all about making sure that it can cope with a thicker layer of lunar soil.
The thought stayed here, and he felt the need to tell Zhao Hongyu about the situation.
"I've just developed a device for punching holes in the moon, and it doesn't matter to me whether other people can fall asleep or not."
"Your temper has an appetite for me." Zhao Hongyu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.
"We just need to build a moon base, and the rest has nothing to do with us, and even if it is a space-based weapon, what if it is used."
"No one else can interfere."
Zhou Mingwei heard the conversation between Xu Yun and Zhao Hongyu, and couldn't help but interject and said something very confidently.
He was right.
Now that the drilling device has been developed and the technology is mature, no one else can interfere with it whether it is used on the moon or the earth, and there is no courage to force it now.
It's nothing more than playing with mouth cannon internationally.
It doesn't make any difference.
Zhao Hongyu echoed this with a smile: "Lao Zhou's words are good, now we are not what we used to be in the world." ”
After speaking, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xu Yun again.
He has been the commander-in-chief of the Changhai Launch Center for many years, and although he does not know much about other areas of the outside world, he also understands that today's scientific and technological leadership is closely related to the young man in front of him.
One has to sigh again about the importance of talent.
In the following time, there were many fewer episodes, and the lander landed smoothly under Zhang Feng's command.
The three lunar rovers carried on board were successfully released, and directly and successfully connected to the artificial intelligence deep sea, it can be said that after completing this long-distance journey between the earth and the moon, they have not even had a little rest, and have already gone to the location of the lava pipe cave to start work.
Through the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer, four lunar rovers can be seen cleaning up the lunar soil splashed on the periphery of the deep pit.
At the same time, the title of the live broadcast room finally lives up to its name.
In the past, although the audience was asked to be the overseer of the lunar base project, there was only one lunar rover.
And it is still a mission to perform detection.
Today, there are four lunar rovers that can freely switch perspectives, which naturally brings a different sense of experience.
It is precisely because of this factor that the number of people online in the live broadcast room still shows no sign of decreasing after the spacecraft returns to the space station docking.
Everyone has become a qualified supervisor to supervise the construction of the base.
Even the barrage in the live broadcast room has become harmonious.
"I've finally become an overseer today, not to mention it's quite interesting to watch these little guys work."
"I'm so glad these little guys are so hardworking!"
"Rice artifact."
"Is there an all-nighter tonight?"
"I feel like these lunar rovers are working quite efficiently, if only they didn't sleep 24 hours a day."
"If you don't say that Xu Yuan is awesome, these scientific research achievements of his will at least advance our aerospace technology by 20 years."
……
But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, when the picture of the drilling device bombarding the moon was spread overseas, those who had questioned it before suddenly opened their mouths in shock.
I never expected such an outcome.
In this case, being slapped in the face became a trivial matter, and the key suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.
I can't help but think of the image of the impact of such a device on the earth.
As the influence grew, some people began to express their views on the Internet, proposing that such weapons should be banned.
The existing device will be mothballed and no further research will be conducted.
As soon as this kind of voice appeared, it was recognized by many people, and even ran to the account of the Security Council.
However, some smart people have pointed out that fortunately this device is in the hands of civilization and not other forces.
Otherwise, I am afraid it will be a disaster for mankind.
Because the time difference is the morning for overseas parties, in the face of such a hot topic, it is natural that more and more people are participating in the topic discussion.
So much so that no one knows what will turn out in the end.
"Oh my God, they did it."
"Did they develop a divine weapon, it's terrifying."
"The emergence of such weapons, like nuclear bombs, is devastating to human civilization."
"Why don't we have such weapons."
"For the sake of the future of human civilization, such weapons should be banned."
"I'm glad that this weapon is currently in the hands of civilization, otherwise it would be a disaster for humanity."
"It's just a normal spacecraft, not a weapon."
Compared with all kinds of chaotic voices on the Internet, Musk, who is staying at the headquarters of SpaceX at the moment, is in an extremely bad mood.
The whole face was completely gloomy.
Because he took over the lunar restart plan, his focus during this time was naturally on the Space Exploration Technology Company, and he did not care about other industries under his name for the time being.
Previously, he firmly believed that the launch mission of the Space Office could not be successfully completed.
It simply does not have the strength to open pores in such thick lunar soil.
So after the spacecraft docked, he also deliberately paid attention to the live broadcast, wanting to witness the other party's failure.
But the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is more cruel, not only did the things he was looking forward to not happen, but also let him see a shocking scene that he will never forget for the rest of his life.
After seeing that the opposite party directly chose the most brutal way, and still had such great power, his whole person was a little sluggish, and he had a sense of déjà vu that his brain was down for a short time.
I really can't figure out how that was done.
Especially after learning that such a powerful bombardment did not affect the lava pipe cavern inside, I was even more surprised.
This shows that their technology on the drilling device is mature and can be precisely controlled.
To know this kind of technology, they SpaceX can't do it at the moment.
In the face of this result, thinking of his previous vows, I can't help but feel like I've been slapped wide.
"Teblanc, you're saying it's impossible?"
At this moment, he sat in his chair and held back the anger in his heart, and raised his gaze to question Teblanc beside him.
And Teblanc's expression at the moment was not much better, his eyes fixed on the picture on the screen.
"How is this possible, when did they develop such a mature orbital drilling device?!"
Repeating this sentence in his mouth, his whole face could be said to be full of disbelief.
But the facts are in front of you, and there is no way to forcibly brainwash yourself.
By this time, Musk also understood that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and after taking a deep breath, he forcibly calmed himself down.
Analyze the current situation.
"I'm afraid they've already developed this drilling device, but it's already an orbital weapon, and I think they're going to have a lot of trouble going forward."
"That's right, boss, no one else will allow this kind of weapon to appear." Hearing this, Teblanc also thought of something, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Of course, Musk is talking, but he knows very well that his own strength alone will not play a role in this matter.
At present, it is still necessary to carry out the lunar landing restart plan as soon as possible and complete the space agency's lunar mission as soon as possible.
"The impact of this matter has nothing to do with us, it would be good if we could delay the progress of the other party, but we must also hurry up and strive to land on the moon before them."
"Don't worry, boss, there must be no problem with this." Teblanc was eager to save his impression in the boss's mind, and after assuring him on the spot, he added: "In addition, even if they successfully complete the punching, the construction of the lunar base will definitely not reach 100% progress, and this kind of immature base will have great safety risks for astronauts." ”
Listening to Tebrand's words, Musk naturally understood what he meant as a technical officer.
It's nothing more than a temporary success or failure, the key is to see who can have the last laugh.
However, his current state is really bad, how can he still be in the mood to continue to think about these things.
