Chapter 388: Reactions from all sides

After the press conference, which lasted for more than an hour, relevant content was also released on the official account, and the Shenwei plan that had been determined and put on the right track was officially announced.

That is, space-based weapons are about to enter service.

In addition, last night's successful experiment on ground targets will no longer conceal this information.

I chose to make it public.

In particular, the ground target scene after the bombardment of space-based weapons is released.

It is an official response to the rumors on the Internet about the fall of an unknown object.

And when these news quickly appeared on the hot search, netizens suddenly had a dumbfounded sense of déjà vu, but they didn't expect that just one day had passed, and the situation had changed so drastically.

It's even a little hard to believe.

It wasn't until everyone confirmed the situation that the mood was gradually replaced by surprise.

No one could have imagined that the lunar drilling device, which had made overseas people worry all day long, would be an amazingly powerful space-based weapon.

Originally, the biggest hot topic on the Internet was the meteor falling in the sky, but the first person to see the news after the release also ran to this topic area for the first time to explain.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, thinking that it was a prank deliberately made by some people.

After seeing the official announcement and video evidence, I really believe in it.

"Something happened, how did I feel like the sky had suddenly changed."

"It turns out that we have already developed space-based weapons, and we also use space-based weapons to build a lunar base, and anything that can be developed by Academician Xu cannot be underestimated."

"I thought it was a meteorite fall yesterday, but I was actually experimenting with space-based weapons."

"Is this the power of space-based weapons, it's really shocking!"

"During this period of time, we were worried that we would completely master space-based weapons, but unfortunately they couldn't imagine that space-based weapons had already been put into service through surface experiments."

"Space-based weapons are already being developed by all countries, so who can blame them for falling behind."

"With space-based weapons, our waists will be harder."

"Without the first use of space-based weapons, the Security Council will have nothing to say on that alone."

"There must be someone who can't sleep today, I won't say who it is."

……

As some netizens said, the official appearance of space-based weapons on the global stage to show their strength has brought about some people happy and some worried.

As soon as the overseas side saw the lunar drilling device, they immediately took action to stop it.

And in any way.

The ultimate goal is to slow down the research of such a device, for fear that it will actually conquer space-based weapon technology, and at the same time buy time for their own research and development of space-based weapons, so that in the future, at least everyone can have space-based weapons to deter each other.

Minimize the risks posed by space-based weapons.

However, they still underestimated Xu Yun's strength, the lunar drilling device can not only be used on the moon, but also deployed on the earth.

There is no need for R&D at all.

In this way, after the news of the complete success of the space-based weapon strike experiment against ground targets was transmitted, all parties looked at each other and were directly dumbfounded, but they really did not expect that the final result would be like this.

Meanwhile.

In the security building in the city across the ocean, in the office, Oakes looked at the powerful destructive power caused by the space-based weapon on the screen, and the whole person sat on the chair with a gloomy expression, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained all at once, and he didn't know what to do.

"No wonder they haven't responded during this time, and they don't explain the matter of space-based weapons on any official platform."

"It turned out that I was deliberately waiting for the space-based weapons to successfully bombard ground targets, so I could use this news to build momentum."

Since the other side dared to disclose the experimental results of space-based weapons, and even openly mentioned the announcement of the Shenwei space-based plan at the press conference, it shows that there is enough confidence not to be afraid of the voices of the outside world.

In this case, even if they continue to resist, it will not help.

On the contrary, it will worsen the relationship with the other side, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It can be said that in this war without gunpowder, they were completely defeated.

The thought stayed here, Oakes raised his gaze quite hard, looked at the henchman in front of him and gave the order regretfully.

"Let's stop talking about boycotting space-based weapons, because continuing in the current situation will only be counterproductive."

"Yes, sir."

Provenzano naturally had no objection to the order of his own chief, and nodded in response.

But then his expression seemed a little unnatural, as if he was hesitating to say something in his heart.

Oakes can still sit in this position now, and his mind can not be compared to you, and when the corner of his eye glanced at the back end of the look on his subordinate's face, he understood the situation.

So he took the initiative to ask: "Just say what you want to say, there are no outsiders here." ”

"That's the case, sir, although we underestimated the other party's research technology on space-based weapons, but this is also a good proof that our previous inference is not wrong." In the face of Oakes' questioning, Provenzano did not hesitate to say what he thought in his heart: "The other party has always paved the way for the development of space-based weapons, and the so-called lunar base is just a cover. ”

When Provenzano's words came to this, Oakes' eyes suddenly lit up and something came to mind.

Since the space-based weapon technology on the other side is so mature, it shows that this device was developed as a space-based weapon from the beginning.

Not for the construction of a lunar base.

In this case, it is said that the space-based weapons have been a complete success, but the lunar base is only afraid that it will be impossible to complete.

You must know that there are strong expectations for the moon base around the world.

I want to see the birth of the first extraterrestrial base of human civilization.

In this way, as long as the other side announces the failure of the lunar base project at that time, or that there is no new progress for a long time, they will be able to use this as an excuse to guide public opinion well.

However, what they need to do most urgently is to develop their own space-based weapons as soon as possible.

If you want to have a voice in the world, strength is the last word.

If you don't master space-based weaponry and turn passive into active, then whatever you do is nothing more than a petty fight.

Nothing other than to make yourself appear more like a clown.

"You're right, I'm going to see how they respond to the moon base."

The thought stayed here, and Oaks suddenly regained his fighting spirit, stood up and threw out this sentence with a cold face, and then turned around and commanded Provenzano again in the next second.

"Make arrangements immediately, I want to see the Commander-in-Chief in the shortest possible time."

"Yes, sir."

Provenzano also seemed to think of something when he heard the voice, and after receiving the order, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately turned around and walked out of the office to arrange it.

And the reason why Oakes is so urgent to see the commander-in-chief is naturally for the research and development of space-based weapons.

Nibison, the head of NASA, came to him in the hope of promoting cooperation between multiple parties, and everyone could exchange technology and jointly develop space-based weapons.

At that time, although he thought that this was a very good solution, he did not do it immediately considering all aspects of the problem, but at present, other people's space-based weapons are about to be deployed in low-earth orbit, and the satellites will become precarious and unsafe at that time.

As long as it is something that Oakes is sure of, there will be absolutely no time delay.

Therefore, he immediately left the security building and went to meet with the Consul General alone to discuss the matter.

——

It is worth mentioning that Oaks is not the only one that has the idea of cooperating in the development of space-based weapon technology, and other forces and several members of the Security Council have expressed the same views in the following days and proposed joint cooperation.

As a result, with little effort, many overseas forces announced that they would send the most elite scientists to form a space-based weapon research and development team, striving to develop space-based weapons in the fastest possible time.

With this matter being successfully confirmed, the happiest of them all must be the head of NASA, Nibison.

Previously, he was assigned to be in charge of the research and development of space-based weapons, and the pressure was considerable.

Even in order to complete the task, he did not hesitate to ask for Oakes's help.

Now that he has successfully formed a space-based weapon research and development team, there is no doubt that the pressure on him is much less.

In addition, I learned that the so-called moon base was impossible to realize, and my confidence could be said to be more and more full.

In order to restart the moon landing program as soon as possible and reexpose them to the outside world, he also met with Musk for a long time to ask about the specific progress.

"To what extent the current lunar landing program has progressed, this mission is related to who is the hegemon in the aerospace field, and it can only succeed without any mistakes."

On this day, in SpaceX, Nibison came over to inspect and said these words with a serious expression.

For example, the research and development of basic weapon technology is being accelerated today, and as long as it is successfully conquered, there is no need to worry about the Shenwei plan on the other side.

Especially when the lunar base project is unfinished, and they successfully complete the restart of the moon landing, then everyone's eyes will return to them.

It is self-evident who is the hegemon in the field of astronautics.

"Rest assured, Commander Nibison, according to the current plan, we are absolutely confident that we will officially carry out a manned landing on the moon next year."

Musk, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, replied with a smile on his face, which can be seen that he is very confident in his space exploration technology company.

"That's good."

Then the two talked to each other for a few words, and Musk appropriately raised a question in his heart.

Hope to get a more definite answer.

"One thing I want to be accurately told by Chief Nibison, is it really impossible to complete the lava tube cave moon base on the other side?"

When Nibison heard this question, his face suddenly filled with smiles, and he immediately assured him with confidence.

"According to our inference, the so-called lava tube cave lunar base is just a cover launched by the other party for space-based weapon experiments, and it is nothing more than an attempt to confuse the public into secretly conducting research and development."

"Now that they have successfully experimented with space-based weapons, how can they go to great lengths to build a lunar base."

"In addition, humans have zero experience living on other planets, and to be honest, I don't think they have the strength."

"But according to what I know, the lunar rovers are still cleaning up the lava tube caves." Musk did not directly believe what Nibison said, but once again raised his own doubts.

At first, he must have hoped that Xu Yun's lunar base project would fail, so that the other party might be able to participate in his starship research and development.

As a result, before Xu Yun's lunar base was completed, a space-based weapon suddenly appeared.

Suddenly he felt at a loss.

Although he hoped that the moon base would fail, he always felt that this was not like Xu Yun's style.

Moreover, in the past few days, he will often enter the live broadcast room of the lunar overseer, and he can see that the lunar rovers are working seriously.

Cleaning up the wreckage of the lava pipe cave after it was bombarded.

And it's incredibly efficient.

At this rate, based on his reasoning, it probably won't take long to complete the cleanup.

At that time, the construction of the lunar base will also enter the next link.

But Nibison obviously has a different view, and immediately waved his hand at Musk's concern and replied: "This is just a matter of ears and eyes, creating a false impression to the outside world that the moon base is still under construction, and there will be absolutely no new progress in the future." ”

If you think about it carefully, Nibison's words are not unreasonable, after all, even if the lunar base is impossible, it will never directly tell the outside world about the complete shutdown.

Although Musk is still worried about this, he can only take responsibility for the restart of the moon landing that the company is responsible for for now.

In the following time, the two went to the spacecraft manufacturing area in person to inspect the spacecraft lander and other spacecraft used for landing on the moon.

As the clock ticked by, it was June.

In this almost half a month's time, Xu Yun also successfully completed the design of the space-based weapon orbital platform, and informed Lei Ming of the news as soon as possible.

……

"Academician Xu, you have given me another surprise."

On June 2, 2027, in the conference room of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, Lei Ming stepped forward as soon as he saw Xu Yun and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

In the past, although Xu Yun said that it would only take ten days and half a month to complete the design of the space-based weapon orbital platform, Lei Ming did not have any urging thoughts, thinking that even if it was completed in a few months, it would be normal.

After all, many of the projects are uncontrollable in the development process, and any problems are possible.

But he really didn't expect that Xu Yun couldn't use common sense to infer that just half a month after the space-based weapon ground target experiment, he was told that the orbital platform had been designed.

It's not a surprise what it is.

Speaking of the surprises he encountered during this period of time after coming into contact with Xu Yun because of space-based weapons, it can be said that he has encountered many more surprises than in the first half of his life combined.

Xu Yun looked at the look of thunder in front of him, and couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face.

Then let's get straight to business.

There was no waste.

"Chief Lei, is it a surprise, it's better to wait until we see the detailed design plan."

"The plan designed by Xu Yuan is really curious." Zhou Mingwei, who was also at the scene next to him, couldn't help but take over the conversation at this time and said with a smile.

And this sentence was also recognized by Zhang Feng, who nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Both of them are very aware of Xu Yun's strength, and they are naturally very curious and interested in the space-based weapon orbital platform scheme designed by Xu Yun alone.

Maybe you can get some new inspiration from it.

It helps to improve your own level.

Not even just the two of them, but even some other academicians and senior researchers of the group came over, and there was a sense of déjà vu that students were grabbing places in open classes in college days.

In this regard, whether it is Xu Yun or Lei Ming, naturally there is no refusal.

Although space-based weapons have been classified as key secrets, the manufacturing of the orbital platform is likely to be the responsibility of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and it can be regarded as familiarizing itself with it in advance.

After a short time, after there were almost a dozen figures sitting in the conference room, Xu Yun no longer hesitated.

When you are about to design your own plan on the conference room screen.

It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate everyone's better understanding, Xu Yun made a three-dimensional model animation in addition to the detailed design scheme.

This is mainly due to the identity of Lei Ming.

After all, among so many people present, only Lei Ming is not a scientist, and his understanding of such a highly professional thing must be limited.

With the help of a 3D presentation model, it will be easier to understand.

Soon, as a picture appeared on the screen, Xu Yun's voice also sounded in the conference room at the same time.

"What you see is the Shenwei space-based weapon system I designed."

"In the early stage, the Shenwei system will consist of 12 orbital platforms, which will be deployed in designated orbits, and each platform can carry five devices for precision strikes on targets."

"At the same time, for the platform that consumes the number of times, it can also be supplemented by docking through a special spacecraft."

According to Xu Yun's design, in the future, the twelve orbital platforms will form a powerful defensive attack system, whether it is to strike at ground targets or destroy satellites in low-earth orbit, it will become a very easy and simple matter.

In addition, considering the large engineering of the Shenwei system, there were only 12 platforms in the initial stage.

However, as time increases, the number of orbital platforms will further skyrocket.

As for the moon, since the first human base has not yet been completed, it will not be considered for the time being.

It should be said that with the gradual improvement of the Shenwei system, all human civilizations will benefit from it.

You must know that it is not uncommon for the earth to be hit by asteroids, and the most serious consequence is the complete disappearance of civilization, but with the defense of the earth by the Shenwei system, even if it really encounters an asteroid impact again, it can attack it and shatter the asteroid.

Minimize asteroid damage to Earth.

At this moment, everyone, including Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, was also deeply attracted by Xu Yun's design plan.

Even if I have been very familiar with Xu Yun for so long, in the face of this design plan that was only completed in half a month, I still can't help but feel my gap.

They are all academicians, but at a completely different level.

But if you want to talk about the most exciting thing at the moment, it must still be Lei Ming, because of his different identity, so he knows more about what such a space-based weapon defense system means.
