"At present, all the personnel in the experimental area we have selected have been evacuated, and only the target in the center is left, and Academician Xu, you can launch space-based weapons to bombard at any time."

On May 15, 2027, in the control center of the space office, Lei Ming explained the situation to Xu Yun.

Thinking that he would be able to see the power of space-based weapons immediately, the whole person exuded irrepressible excitement when he spoke.

Xu Yun was also a little surprised that Lei Ming was ready for the ground target bombardment experiment so quickly, but it can also be seen from this point that the above attaches absolute importance to having space-based weapons.

At this time, in the control center, in addition to the two of them, Zhang Feng, who was also involved in the manufacture of the drilling device, was also present.

Both he and Zhou Mingwei participated in the bombardment of the lava pipe cave throughout the whole process, so they naturally have the right to know.

However, Zhou Mingwei's mind is still on the lunar base, and he wants to manufacture the core module of the lunar base and the corresponding equipment and components before the lava tube cave is cleaned up, so as to save time and delay the launch time of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle.

Therefore, for today's drilling device launch experiment, he did not deliberately participate in it.

"The No. 2 drilling device is normal and ready for launch."

Just as Lei Ming and Xu Yun were talking, Zhang Feng's voice mixed with joy suddenly sounded from the side.

Report on the status of the drilling unit according to the process.

He hadn't paid much attention to the Internet before, so he was very excited and happy after being told that the lunar drilling device was likely to be used for space-based weapons.

After all, if this thing is promoted, it is equivalent to mastering a very powerful hole card.

This must be very desirable for a real scientist.

It can be said that even if he didn't take the initiative to come over today, he would have found a way to participate in this special experiment.

Therefore, the designer of the lunar drilling device is Xu Yun, but he is indispensable to the complete manufacture of it, so it is still very affectionate for this special device.

Although he had seen how the device would behave on the moon, he was indeed a little curious about how powerful it could be in the face of ground targets.

Xu Yun listened to all the words of the two of you, and the corners of his mouth also rose slightly, and some news appeared.

To outsiders, this may seem like an incomparably important experiment, and its value will not be much less than that of a successful nuclear bomb test.

But for him, it's just a matter of providing instructions and quantum ciphers.

Remote launch is sufficient.

In a way, it's no different from playing a game.

And this has to mention the rapid development of quantum technology again, otherwise it may not be so easy.

At this time, Xu Yun will definitely not delay any longer, and it will be better to end this matter as soon as possible, so that he can focus all his energy on the core module of the lunar base.

"Then let's officially begin, start the launch process."

Xu Yun raised his gaze to look at Zhang Feng and Lei Ming, and after giving this order with a smile, he looked at the control and command main screen behind them, and sighed with emotion against the backdrop of emotion.

"After tonight, the whole world will tremble at this experiment!"

Although Lei Ming didn't have much contact with Xu Yun, he also read Xu Yun's details many times.

If he were to describe it in two words.

Then there are only legends.

Therefore, he naturally did not doubt what the legend said.

Especially when I think of some recent overseas performances, my heart can't help beating a lot faster under the excitement.

Even the only worries were completely gone at this moment.

In the past few days, when dealing with the test area, he is still worried about the power of this lunar drilling device, fearing that when it is used to strike at ground targets, the effect will be reduced, resulting in a gap between the destructive power that can be exerted and the theoretical real space-based weapon.

After all, the original purpose of the device was to facilitate the drilling of lava tube caverns in the moon.

But now seeing that Xu Yun is so confident, he is also infected by this confidence.

I always feel that today's experiment will definitely live up to his expectations.

As for Zhang Feng, not to mention, after cooperating with Xu Yun during this time, he has become a little fan brother.

I don't mind that I am much older than Xu Yun.

To be serious, if he wants to have the opportunity to become Xu Yun's student, then he will definitely be the first to agree unconditionally.

Anyone who hesitates is stupid.

So he also agrees with Xu Yun's sentiment very much, and believes that what is made in his hands will not disappoint.

Zhang Feng, who received the instruction in the next second, walked straight to the console and began to convey the command and password.

After a while, the hall remembered the sound of the command.

"The device has been successfully separated from the space station."

"The engine ignited successfully."

"Heading to the intended orbit."

……

After completing this, Zhang Feng turned around and walked over again, talking to Xu Yun with a relaxed face.

"According to the results of the calculations of the brain, the No. 2 drilling device will touch the ground at about half past eight in the evening."

After telling such a message, he seemed to think of something, and the next second he added:

"However, when the device passes through the earth's atmosphere, I am afraid that some people will see it, so today's experiment cannot be hidden."

The spectacular spectacle of launching weapons directly from low-earth orbit will certainly be seen by the cities surrounding the test area, and even monitored by overseas to see the special situation here.

As a strategically important experiment, it is certainly not desirable that information be leaked.

You must know that the hole cards are called hole cards precisely because they are unknown until they are revealed.

It is normal for Zhang Feng to have concerns in this regard.

However, Xu Yun's face was still calm after hearing this, and he paused for two seconds and said with relief:

"Don't worry too much, I think everyone will know about space-based weapons soon."

"You said yes, Chief Lei?"

When he said the last sentence, his eyes turned to Lei Ming.

In fact, knowing that he had not made any response to various remarks from the outside world these days, he was just busy with the experiment of drilling devices to strike at ground targets, so Xu Yun thought of something.

It is speculated that the results of the research of space-based weapons will be directly and publicly announced by taking advantage of this experiment.

Since the outside world has been talking about space-based weapons, it is simply necessary to officially disclose the research on space-based weapons, and save others from guessing everywhere.

And through such a real experiment on ground targets, the contents disclosed are more realistic.

After all, simply talking about it is far less shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.

For this purpose, the process and results of the experiment are not afraid of being seen by others, but on the contrary, they are eager for everyone to find out.

Lei Ming heard Xu Yun's sudden question, but he didn't sell anything.

A smile appeared on his face, and he replied generously.

"Academician Xu is right, the above has decided to hold a press conference after today's experiment to officially announce our future planning and layout in space-based weapons."

"Thoroughly deploy space-based weapons as an important defensive force."

"If that's the case, then I'll be relieved." Zhang Feng nodded after listening to Lei Ming's explanation.

As long as you don't worry about leaking the experimental situation, you can completely let go of your hands and feet.

For the rest of the day, several people sat in the hall of the control center, waiting for the moment when the device was officially launched.

As the minutes and seconds passed, when the manned spacecraft carrying the No. 2 drilling device successfully entered the predetermined orbital position, the hall once again resounded with exciting sounds.

"Report to Commander Xu that the device has reached the intended orbit."

"The target is locked."

At this moment, Xu Yun sat on the chair and held his breath, hearing these two instructions shouted from the mouth of the engineer, he didn't see any movement in his body, he raised his eyes slightly and slowly spit out two words.

"Launch."

The second launch of the borehole device, although the target this time was the Earth and not the surface of the Moon, was still very smooth.

In addition, the launch of this device is not like that of rockets, and even the tradition of countdown is omitted.

Almost the moment Xu Yun's voice fell, the command had been transmitted to the device through the quantum communication network, and then you could see that the core of the device was separated from the manned spacecraft in the transmitted screen, and accelerated towards the earth through its own power rotation.

Soon it entered the Earth's atmosphere, and visually it really felt like an asteroid impact.

The last time the thunder was in the live broadcast screen recording screen to see the scene of the drilling device bombarding the target, and now I really witnessed the whole process of the launch of this device, and I only felt that there was blood boiling in my chest.

He couldn't help but whisper softly.

"This is the space-based weapon that all parties want to research, and the scene is really shocking!"

"yes."

"It's so much more spectacular than on the moon." Zhang Feng also stared at the screen at this time, took the thunderous words, and replied.

It was only now that he suddenly knew that such a device for drilling holes in the lava pipe of the moon would be used as a space-based weapon, and he might not feel anything when he was on the moon, but when the device came to Earth, it could be regarded as truly showing its own terrifying power.

The scene can only be described in four words.

Meteors fall to the ground.

And when they were deeply attracted by this scene, in the city closer to the experimental area, countless people stopped and even drove at this moment, looking up at the sky as much as possible.

The extremely fast-flying borehole mechanism, rubbing against the atmosphere, resembles a huge meteorite that has been burned.

It is extremely dazzling in the dark.

Even if it is just a small ball of light in everyone's eyes because of the distance, they know very well that this is not normal.

At least I've never heard of this before.

So everyone immediately took out their mobile phones to record and discussed with each other quite excitedly.

Some even blame it on aliens.

"Look at the sky, it looks like something has fallen!"

"It's so fast."

"Was it a meteorite landing?"

"It can't be an alien, I've never seen it before."

"Could it be that the legendary asteroid hit the earth, looking at the volume and speed, it is estimated that the power is not small, and I don't know where it will fall."

"Take a quick picture and upload it to the Internet, I'm sure this will definitely be on the hot search."

"Can you make a wish?"

……

For the fast-paced city in a big city, people will never stop their steps on the road, and it is impossible for vehicles to stop, otherwise they will definitely be greeted by countless drivers.

But at this moment, the scene presented is as weird as it gets.

Countless people stood at the junction of the road, very uniformly holding up their mobile phones and leaning their necks for a long time.

All kinds of cars stopped in place tacitly, only to see many people poking their heads out of the windows, extremely excited to enjoy this brief scene.

The point is that at this time, there is no one urging it.

It makes the whole city look a little weird, and those who don't know think something is wrong.

Xie Jian didn't pay much attention to the live broadcast of the lunar overseer in the past two days, after all, he has now entered the stage of cleaning the pipe hole, and the content of the live broadcast is that the lunar rover repeatedly cleans the lunar soil in the pipe hole, although now there are four perspectives that can be switched at any time, and the attraction has decreased a lot.

The scene of the bombardment of the lunar lava pipe cave by the launch of the drilling device a few days ago was too shocking, which greatly raised the threshold of the audience in the live broadcast room.

It's inevitable that being an overseer will be boring right now.

In particular, according to the official version, this process will last up to half a year.

According to his judgment, if the Lunar Overseer Live Room wants to return to the peak popularity of hundreds of millions of people online, it is very likely that it will have to wait until the core module of the base lands.

Today, he didn't work much overtime as usual, and after a brief dinner with his colleagues, he was ready to return to the rental room.

And just as they were walking on the zebra crossing and crossing the road, they suddenly felt their bodies being jerked down by a colleague next to them, and just as they wanted to ask what the situation was, a familiar voice was already heard in their ears.

And unlike usual, the voice is very excited right now.

"Wait a minute, Xie Jian, look at the sky."

"it!"

Hearing this, Xie Jian subconsciously thought that his colleague was playing a prank, and suddenly a little unhappiness appeared in his heart.

After all, they are on the road right now, and it is very dangerous to see that the green light time is about to pass.

Playing pranks at such times is clearly out of place.

Even a manifestation of stupidity.

But when he was about to snatch his colleague to the opposite side, he noticed that the other party had already taken out his mobile phone, and the excited expression on his face with his hands in the air did not look like he was pretending at all.

What made him even more frightened was that out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that other people were doing the same.

Subconsciously looked around, only to see that everyone in the field of vision took out their mobile phones and held them up in the air to take pictures, as for those vehicles, they were also firmly parked in place, and the driver and passengers poked their heads out of the window.

He even pulled the car door and walked out.

In the face of such an outrageous and strange scene, Xie Jian could guess that his colleague was not deceiving people even if he didn't believe it, and there was indeed a special situation in the dark sky.

The thought stayed here, how dare he hesitate for half a minute, and he looked up almost without thinking.

When the rapidly falling luminous object came into view, the whole person seemed to be knocked down like a chicken.

"Is this a satellite spacecraft crash?"

But as the voice of the colleague next to him came to his ears again, he suddenly thought of something.

He muttered thoughtfully and softly.

"How does it look so much like the scene of the launch of the lunar drilling device."

In the live broadcast of the moon that day, he can be said to have witnessed the bombardment of the moon lava tube cave base by the drilling device throughout the whole process, although there is a big difference from the scene in front of him, but he still remembered the picture in the live broadcast room that day for some reason.

And the more I think about it, the more I think it's possible.

However, he did not express his judgment, but silently admired this magnificent scene.

Until the object vanishes and comes into full contact with the ground.

At present, such a spectacular scene has attracted the attention of countless people, and I believe that it will not take long for the official announcement to be made, and if it is really the launch of the lunar surface drilling device that he is familiar with, it will definitely be directly said.

But for some reason, he also vaguely hoped that the scene in front of him was exactly what he had encountered before.

Although the special objects in the sky disappeared quickly, everyone still watched the captured videos repeatedly in their aftertastes.

Although the pedestrians and vehicles on the road moved again, it is still certain that this scene will never be forgotten, and its shocking images have long been engraved into the memory.

In addition, the next thing people do after this incident is to post the video.

I hope to share this extreme incident with others, and at the same time, I also want to get everyone's attention and see if I can find a suitable explanation from the Internet.

——

What was going on outside, Xu Yun and the others didn't know at the moment, because they were staring at the screen.

Look forward to the moment when the device comes into contact with the ground.

The first thing that can be determined is that even if it is launched from Earth, the accuracy of the device is still not affected, and in the last few seconds they can clearly see the various target objects specially arranged around them, which are used to detect the specific power of the bombardment.

But as the two officially collided together, there was a huge movement, and the picture they could see suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Apparently the cameras were damaged.

"The experiment has been successful, and I have sent someone into the center of the experimental area, and the results should be transmitted back soon." In the hall of the control center, Lei Ming forcibly pressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and said this to Xu Yun and Zhang Feng.

The astonishing accuracy of this device can be determined, and it can be said that most of the experiment is complete.

Even if it's ultimately less powerful than a space-based weapon, this device can be of great use.

Compared with Lei Ming's excitement, Xu Yun and Zhang Feng were obviously more calm, their faces were still relaxed, and they did not have the slightest doubt about the performance of their products.

Since this was not a nuclear weapons test, and ordinary personnel went over to check the results at any time after the bombardment ended, Lei Ming had already arranged for someone to be on standby.

It won't take long to drive directly to explore.

That's it.

With everyone's patience, it didn't take long for Lei Ming to finally receive the results of the investigation in his heart, and put the video taken by the explorers directly to the home screen.

"There's news."

"This is the image of the target area after being hit by the device."

And when the content of the picture entered everyone's field of vision, Rao was prepared or surprised, and couldn't help but gasp.

It is possible to see that the bombardment targets arranged around them have disappeared or have simply been reduced to fragments.

The huge crater formed by the bombardment in the middle seems to tell the power of the drilling device.

At this moment, Lei Ming finally put his mind at ease, knowing that the subsequent press conference would definitely be held very smoothly and give the world the most powerful response.
