Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 221: Weapon production plan
Ten minutes later, more senior civilized officials gathered in the captain's room to discuss related issues.
Although people were very lucky to intercept the first batch of missiles, who knows if there will be a second and third batch.
In addition to the fact that the incident is so violent, even some civilians have some faint speculation in their hearts. Many people have seen the nuclear flash of a nuclear bomb, and the nuclear fusion engine has been activated urgently, and the Earth Age has also entered a state of motion. These traces cannot be concealed artificially.
The mothership is slowly accelerating. It’s not just a fixed target like the original one, but the consequence is that it is temporarily disconnected from the underground base on the planet, and the long carbon nanorope is retracted, and there is no other way. Conduct material exchange and personnel exchange.
The start of the nuclear engine is consuming a large amount of helium-3 resources, which are not many reserves, and Zhang Yuan is distressed to death. Fortunately, mankind has found uranium mines on the surface, otherwise there will be an energy crisis and die on this planet.
After the brief meeting, Captain Zhao was in front of the TV station, giving a serious war speech. There is nothing to conceal about possible wars. The war is about to start. You can never hide from the people who the enemy is, right?
"I officially declare that I have entered a state of emergency wartime!"
"...We must be sufficiently vigilant against this unknown enemy, and even carry out the same reciprocal revenge!"
"If you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace!"
Zhang Yuan stood in the audience, he was sending text messages to comfort his wife.
"Yes, there were no casualties, but the spacecraft was made a hole by high-dimensional debris, nothing else... I am fine too. There is not much loss, rest assured, there will be no follow-up missile launches for the time being. ."
"I don't need to go to the battlefield, you can rest assured."
But then again, people really don't know what this enemy is!
Don't even know what the other person looks like.
Some people say that there is an unknown technological civilization hidden under the ground, and some people say that it is an out-of-control artificial intelligence that has wiped out civilization!
Everyone knows that this step is impossible to retreat at all, even if there are not many weapons and no resistance, but taking a step back is hell!
People simply have no ability to leave this galaxy, nor is it possible to surrender to each other.
The noisy people are emotional, some people are still in a state of blindness, such a big emergency happened suddenly, and there is no time to react.
After the speech, Captain Zhao stepped off the stage and called a second emergency meeting.
Several high-level officials just sat in their seats and said nothing. All kinds of reporters who wanted to interview were temporarily driven out by the soldiers.
After the noise, there is silence.
"The general public already knows about this. War mobilization has to bother the Propaganda Department. It must not only maintain the stability of the people, but also ensure a strong morale... Especially, our industrial capacity is insufficient, and the production of weapons and equipment , May sacrifice the current quality of life."
"This is no problem, everyone should be able to understand." A leader of the Propaganda Department nodded.
Zhao Qingfeng saw that everyone’s emotions stabilized a little, and his expression solemnly said: "Let me ask you first, how long will it take for us to squeeze most of the resources and reduce the quality of life of the majority of the people? , Including nuclear bombs?"
In the face of life and death crisis, all industrial development plans can only be temporarily shelved.
One of the engineers gritted his teeth: "We have found a good uranium mine on the surface. If we tilt a huge portion of the resources, we can produce 6,000 centrifuges in half a year..."
"The atomic bomb can be detonated within one year, and the hydrogen bomb can be detonated within two years! The technical difficulties are not big, but there are still some difficulties in the industry."
"The shortest and the shortest is nine months."
I heard that it will take more than nine months, and the meeting room suddenly becomes lively again.
Nine months is too long, even a bit too long, no one knows when the other party will explode!
Maybe a few days later, a lot of nuclear bombs will be launched!
However, in this kind of space war, nuclear bombs are already the most conventional weapons. High-explosive bombs and TNT are simply something to laugh at.
According to the interstellar war that broke out within human civilization, there are three most conventional weapons: missiles, lasers, and electromagnetic guns.
Naturally, there is no need to say more about the missiles. Basically, they are nuclear warheads, hydrogen bombs, and helium-3 bombs. They are powerful and slow. They are suitable for handovers, but they are easily intercepted.
Laser focuses on defense. Small ones can defend against small drones, medium ones can defend against shells and missiles, and large ones can be deployed in space to attack booster rockets and anti-missiles. However, given the current industrial capabilities of the new civilization, it is very possible to manufacture laser weapons in a short period of time. Because laser weapons require some special crystals, these crystals are products of condensed matter physics, which are not easy to preserve for a long time and cannot be brought over from the earth.
It is not possible to make similar crystals overnight.
The manufacturing difficulty of the electromagnetic gun is slightly less than that of the laser, but the power of the electromagnetic gun is proportional to the speed of the shell. The faster the speed of the shell, the higher the requirements for the entire weapon equipment, especially the long acceleration pipeline, which is not too much for a few kilometers or tens of kilometers!
So the tonnage and volume of electromagnetic guns are often very huge...This is one of the reasons why the Earth Age did not carry these space weapons.
One of the military experts said: "I think the first goal can be to manufacture missiles and small electromagnetic guns... First of all, there must be adequate defenses to counter the enemy's ultra-high-speed missiles. Electromagnetic. The speed of the shells must be at least 100 kilometers per second to have a sufficient interception success rate."
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Understood...The research on nuclear bombs and electromagnetic guns is my responsibility."
"What about ~IndoMTL.com~ gas bombs? What about bio-chemical weapons?" Captain Zhao asked.
"No, the feasibility is too small."
A biologist was speaking, "We don’t have any research on life on this planet at all. I don’t know what poisonous gas they are afraid of...Like certain gases in the atmosphere, they are poisonous gases in themselves and can kill a lot. Most of the earth’s bacteria will also react with poisonous gas and neutralize them directly."
"Furthermore, there is a vast planet below, not the size of our spacecraft...Various typhoons have strong dilution capabilities. How much poison do we need to create to kill the creatures hiding in the cave? With the current productivity, it is impossible to produce a hundred years of poisonous gas."
Hearing this fact, everyone was in a state of desperation, and even Zhang Yuan didn't have a good idea.
His fingers tapped the tabletop lightly, frowning tightly. At present, human power is really terrible. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how smart he is, it is impossible to think of a good way.
He sighed softly: "If you give us another eight years and ten years, the situation will be greatly improved, but there is no if at all in this world..."
