Chapter Eighty-Three: The Space Environment
At the end of the summer of Tian Yuan 31, the world's major leaders traveled to the Dawning Space Base and the Asgard Space Base.
According to the plan, the fleet will begin to enter the exercise process tens of millions of kilometers away after leaving Tian Yuan Star, allowing them to attack each other.
Although the rail-rail cannon and other weapons of mass destruction were replaced by gunpowder weapons, the power was still relatively objective. Carelessness can result in death or injury.
Even if the spaceship disintegrates, the Yuan Infant will not last a few days in space. The rescue time of the Transformation Period is only one month.
Although the power of the stars in space is strong, the radiation is even greater!
............
In the void, a fleet moves 'slowly'. The ship led by the fleet has a large, shiny cross symbol. This is the technology of the Ocean Group.
But in this spaceship, Murong Shan, the military commander of the Ocean Group, was conducting a pre-war mobilization meeting. The meeting was attended by military generals and staff officers from all sides of ASEAN, as well as ...... Scientific Advisors!
The direct involvement of scientific advisors in military warfare was the first feature of the Star Age. Let's not talk about anything else, what is wrong with the spacecraft, especially in the core power system, ordinary maintenance personnel are not useful. This is where the relevant experts are involved.
But the real experts are treasures, and there can't be too many, and it's impossible to just cram into a spaceship. Then a new profession was born: scientific advisors.
In fact, the position of scientific adviser has long existed within the Ocean Group. At the beginning, Zhang Hao was the first to be equipped with scientific advisers.
The original scientific advisors were the scholar type. They all have a general understanding of various science and technology, but they don't go deep enough. However, this general understanding is also enough, they exist as the scientific adviser secretary around Zhang Hao, so that Zhang Hao can understand the overall situation of the technological development of Dayang Group.
But later, as technology evolved, the role of a scientific advisor evolved, and the nature of the profession changed.
Until now, they have become 'comprehensive technical guidance and maintenance guidance' specialists. They know most of the technology (superficial) and can repair most of the faults - what can't be repaired basically loses the value of repair, so it's better to replace it with a new one.
They're not scientists, they're not researchers, they're not engineers, but they're a little bit of everything.
This is a typical understanding of everything, and everything is sparse. But in the development of space, such personnel have become a talent that is in short supply for all parties.
Taking spaceship technology as an example, a spaceship is a system project. No technician knows all the techniques. But scientific advisors can!
In fact, the scientific advisors themselves are not so easy. After they have an overall understanding of a systems engineering, they are likely to become top engineers, system integration representatives, and so on. The boundaries between them and scientific researchers, engineers and technicians are very blurred.
But the advantage is that because such people do not have contact with the core technology, their understanding is mainly superficial, and it is relatively easy to cultivate and they are not afraid of leaks.
For example, now, there is a scientific advisor in astronomy, Wang Hong, who is explaining space to everyone. For young and promising talents like Wang Hong, Dayang Group has cultivated too much over the years. However, the fact that I can speak here is enough to show that Wang Hong himself is extraordinary.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why we are competing for the moon of Jupiter this time is because the moon we have discovered, named 'Legendary', is indeed legendary enough. It has the conditions to develop into a space habitation and, of course, into an industrial zone.
That's why in this military exercise, we will allow real battles!
Please listen to me in detail, only by understanding the value of this satellite will you understand how much the Ocean Group has paid for this military exercise.
Because, this satellite was originally discovered by the Ocean Group. Later, the launch of probes and other works was also carried out independently by the Ocean Group. ”
Then, Wang Hong opened a document, and an ice-frozen planet that looked a little reddish-brown appeared on the screen.
"This is the 'Legendary' moon, which is larger than the moon in diameter, reaching 9,000 kilometers in diameter. In size, it is almost twice the size of the moon. However, because the satellite contains a large amount of ice, as well as a large amount of solid ammonia and carbon dioxide, its density is just over 2 points.
As a result, the gravitational pull of the legendary moon is only 1.3 per cent, almost one-eighth of the gravitational force on the surface of Venus.
If ......"
"Wait!" Shu Bennan, the military commander from the country of Qixia, spoke. The guards who followed Wu Fanghai back then have now grown into one of the heads of the Starfleet of the Kingdom of Qixia.
After everyone looked over, Shu Bennan asked, "Since this satellite is almost entirely full of water, what industrial value does it have?"
Wang Hong smiled lightly and slowly spit out three words: "Nuclear fusion!"
Then, Wang Hongcai continued: "According to our exploration, the proportion of heavy water on the legendary satellite is more than one thousandth! Yes, one thousandth. On the Tianyuan Star, the proportion of heavy water is less than 2/10,000.
It's close to Jupiter, and we think most of its heavy hydrogen comes from Jupiter, or from the early universe when Jupiter was formed.
According to our calculations, if all the heavy hydrogen contained in the legendary satellite is extracted, it can support our current needs for industrial development for 10,000 years!
And around the legendary moon, there are many moons of Jupiter, which have sufficient mineral resources. ”
Only then did everyone gasp, and this time they really understood the value of this satellite.
Wang Hong continued: "According to our exploration, this satellite actually has a magnetic field! This is the only satellite in our galaxy that has a magnetic field.
What's more, among the planets we currently explore that have solid surfaces, the Legend Moon is one of the few planets that has the conditions to be transformed into habitable places.
Because of the magnetic field, there is a considerable atmosphere on the legendary moon, and the atmosphere is rich in oxygen and ozone.
The atmosphere on the legendary moon has a thickness of eighty kilometers. Because the gravitational pull of the planet is low, the atmospheric pressure is one-eighth that of Venus.
But the atmosphere is already impressive. If you don't take into account the temperature, such an atmosphere is enough for some plants to grow! enough for the normal activities of cultivators during the foundation building period!"
When the crowd heard this, they were more and more amazed. Sure enough, such a planet has the potential to be transformed into a place to live. It just needs to be warmed up. Heating up, what a simple thing.
Although only the Ocean Group is currently testing nuclear fusion technology, it is believed that it will not be long before nuclear fusion technology will become widespread. Because of the technology of nuclear fusion, the Ocean Group is not hidden.
Under such circumstances, the value of the 'Legendary' satellite is already immeasurable.
As for the cultivators of the foundation building period, they are embarrassed to say that they are cultivators on the current Tianyuan Star - the adult standard of the Dayang Group is 18 years old and has reached the Jindan cultivation; when both standards are met, they will be issued with ID cards, and if they don't reach them, they won't even have ID cards.
In this way, the Ocean Group has indeed paid too much for taking out the 'Legendary' satellite as a reward for this space military exercise. And everyone must also win the planet.
Seeing the firmness in everyone's eyes, the corners of Murong Shan's mouth twitched a little - in fact, Mr. Zhang said that the 'legendary' satellite was a bit chicken. We're targeting a planet found in the outermost part of the galaxy. And the battle for the legendary satellite, how can it be so simple!
It was an icy planet, about 30,000 kilometers in diameter, and Mr. Zhang named it 'Pluto'.
However, the value of the 'Legendary' satellite cannot be denied.
Knowing the value of this satellite, then it is natural to fight hard and strive to control this satellite in their own hands.
At this time, the fleets of ASEAN, the Western Alliance, and the Xuanhuang Group, according to the plan, will circle the sun and then sprint towards the goal. The first phase of the military exercises lasted for a year, during which reinforcements were allowed, among other things.
Time ticks by. After everyone unified their minds, they began to discuss the tactics of space.
At present, everyone's weapons, mainly gunpowder weapons, because of technological advances, artillery shells can travel at 20 times the speed of sound in space - there is no atmospheric obstruction, making artillery shells faster.
However, 20 times the speed of sound, it is only 10 kilometers per second. Fortunately, everyone's fleet is not far away - according to the regulations, around 500,000 kilometers. However, it can be adjusted according to the actual situation. After all, it's an interstellar battle, and it can't be tied like on the ground.
500,000 kilometers, the shells need to fly for 13~14 hours! This can fully simulate the battle in the starry sky environment.
According to the analysis of the data obtained from Xuanwu Mountain, the battle distance between the warships of the Xuanhuang civilization and the Honghe civilization at the beginning could reach as far as 10 million kilometers.
At a distance of 500,000 kilometers, in a space battle, it is simply close at hand!
Seeing that the countdown was about to end, Murong Shan stood in the command room, quietly watching the technicians calculate the attack route.
According to the detection, the current distance between the main force of the fleet and the opponent is 513,000 kilometers, and it is necessary to calculate the flight time, trajectory, and time consumed by the speed of light propagation of the shells, as well as the interference of the sun's gravity during the flight of the shells.
After 14 hours of flight, gravity really can't be ignored.
The gravitational pull of the sun in the orbital position of the celestial star accelerates by gravity of 0.006 m/s2, which is enough for the velocity of the shell to change/increase by 302 m/s in the vertical direction of the sun, and the displacement in the vertical direction can reach 7,600 kilometers - such an error, even aiming at Venus will miss the target! Let alone aiming at the spacecraft.
Even if it is a shell fired into outer space in a perpendicular direction to the sun, the shell will 'fall' and hit itself on the head after flying for a while.
At a speed of 10 kilometers per second, you can't break free from the sun's gravity!
Murong Shan's mind rolled over these materials, and when the countdown ended at this time, Murong Shan immediately ordered: Fire!
A 'war' with exercises but also competitive significance in the space age has broken out!
(For example, if Hesorkin has an explosion velocity of 8750 m/s, it is theoretically possible to create a bullet with a speed of 8750 m/s.) And the latest all-nitrogen anionic salt explosion is even more powerful. Relying on the force of the explosion, it is theoretically possible to create a bullet that can catch up with the comet. )
