Chen Yue had long predicted that controlled nuclear fusion technology would be the entry technology for interstellar warfare. There is no point in developing military technology until it has mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Because as long as you can reach the enemy in the solar system, you must have mastered the technology of interstellar voyage and mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion. And the enemy, who has mastered the technology of interstellar voyage, may be harmed by himself at the level of nuclear fission or chemical energy?

Wearing armor, riding horses, and wielding bows and arrows, the ancient army could not be the opponent of the modern army, no matter how strong the armor was, no matter how handsome the horses were, and how sharp the bow and arrows were. Modern armies will not even appear in the field of vision of ancient armies at all, and a single missile can kill thousands of ancient soldiers.

If Chen Yue had developed military technology before mastering nuclear fusion technology, his behavior would be tantamount to an ancient soldier forging a divine weapon to try to fight a modern army.

At this moment, the large-scale development of Mars has come to an end. The follow-up is just a matter of upgrading iteratives. Under the premise of operating 100,000 spaceships to ensure the supply of resources and energy, Chen Yue can already recover some of the computing power.

At this moment, this part of the computing power is directly invested in the research and development of military science and technology.

"With my relatively mature scientific level of mastery of controllable nuclear fusion technology, the weapons of interstellar warfare in space at this moment should be roughly divided into three aspects.

First, kinetic energy weapons.

Kinetic energy weapons are mainly various projectiles and shells. It does not have its own power, and its course is determined once it leaves the launcher.

The kinetic energy weapon of the interstellar age, the driving force is obviously not chemical energy, it should be electromagnetic acceleration technology, that is, electromagnetic cannons.

But with the electromagnetic cannon, I can now accelerate the projectile to hundreds of kilometers per second, and the damage is enough. In addition, the projectile of the electromagnetic cannon is too small, and even if it is charged inside, the energy of the explosion is too small compared to the starting energy, so there is no need to add to it. Well, it's still based on the pursuit of speed, mainly relying on kinetic energy to kill. ”

Analogous to the Earth Age, it was Chen Yue who decided to build only machine guns and not artillery.

"Second, it's guided weapons.

Guided weapons have their own power, and after leaving the launch pad, they can accelerate and change course on their own. This type of weapon is collectively known as interstellar missiles.

Chemical propulsion obviously doesn't work, it has to be ionic propulsion. However, ion propulsion consumes too much electricity, and batteries are not good, and fusion reactors are still necessary. But a fusion reactor, a small missile can not be placed, or...... On a fission reactor?

Fission reactors can be made smaller and can be put inside missiles. In addition, interstellar missiles do not pursue long-term effects, but only pursue high-speed bursts in a short period of time, and fission reactors can meet the needs.

Then it is so decided, guided weapons will build nuclear fission power, ion propelled missiles. ”

"The third type of weapon is mainly a variety of light weapons. Laser cannons, gamma ray cannons, etc.

This class of weapons is advancing at the speed of light, and it is impossible to warn and defend until faster-than-light weapons are mastered. This type of weapon is very important and should be vigorously developed. ”

The technical accumulation of the laser cannon weapons mastered by Chen Yue comes from the accumulation of inertial confinement routes when developing controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Facts have proved that controlled nuclear fusion technology ultimately depends on magnetic confinement, and the inertial confinement route does not work at all. However, the study of inertial confinement routes has greatly improved Chen Yue's laser technology. Now it's time to use it to build a laser cannon.

"By the way, there's got to be a fourth weapon. These fourth weapons are collectively referred to as special weapons.

I could have built a trigger-type bomb, camouflaged it, scattered it directly in space, and once an enemy ship was detected, it would automatically activate and explode directly over it.

Well, this weapon can be named a space mine.

Or make some metal fiber bombs, once they explode, they will scatter countless fine metal fibers, invading the hull of the enemy spaceship, causing a short circuit in the internal circuit of the enemy spacecraft.

These four weapons can also be combined with each other, for example, interstellar missiles can also launch special weapons, electromagnetic cannons can also be, in short, the forms of interstellar warfare are ever-changing, and I can flexibly combine them. ”

"That's pretty much it for weapon styles. The technical level is about the same as mine, and no matter how much it changes, it is nothing more than a variant of these four weapons. So now, I have to think about it, what to do on the defensive side? ”

If you can master these four weapons, so can your enemies. When the enemy strikes him with these weapons, how can he defend himself?

In order to develop military science and technology, Chen Yue specially built 20 large-scale scientific research bases to carry out research and development, and also built two supercomputers to carry out war simulations in supercomputers.

In addition to the hardware such as spaceships and weapons, the software aspect is also very important.

The so-called software is naturally tactical, commanding, and the like.

The simulated warfare carried out in this supercomputer undertakes the mission of hardware research and development and software improvement at the same time.

Chen Yue directly focused on two things, and set up two camps in the simulated battlefield. The main pursuit of the two camps is the complete destruction of the other, and the means of war are used to the extreme.

Intrigues, traps, raids, broken tails, car protection, long-distance intersperses, nuclear contamination, electromagnetic storms......

The two camps are not dead.

Chen Yue racked his brains to think of all ways to destroy the enemy, and when he came up with a way, he immediately manipulated the other camp, racking his brains to think of ways to resist and fight back.

After being counterattacked, he began to think about ways to resolve it......

And so on and so forth. Chen Yue's level of war command and decision-making has risen rapidly under these circumstances.

Gradually, in a space war, how to distribute forces between the defensive and offensive ends, how to ensure logistics, how to protect bases, how to deploy the formation in space so that it can be attacked as little as possible, in order to give full play to the maximum attack, how to attack the enemy's rear route, how to cut off the enemy's logistics, how to force the enemy to start a decisive battle, and how to find a respite in an unfavorable situation......

Chen Yue is learning and growing rapidly.

At this moment, Chen Yue even felt that his biggest advantage over ordinary social intelligent civilization was not in the development of science and technology—although he also had a great advantage, but in terms of war, his advantage seemed to be greater.

A huge fleet commanded by an arm, fast and accurate decision-making, unimaginable data processing capabilities, and unimaginable rapid learning and iteration capabilities that ordinary people can't imagine, 10,000 staff officers combined can't compare to one-ten-thousandth of their own deduction ability......

"Could it be...... I was not born for scientific research, but for war? ”

Chen Yue sighed secretly.
