Escape The Solar System With Millennium Technology

Chapter 214 – Ion weapons and the first cable

The first is the design of ion weapons. Ion weapons are roughly divided into ion beams and ion clusters.

Both have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of ion beam is that it is fast and powerful, and the speed is approximately equal to the speed of light. In terms of power, there is nothing it can’t penetrate at this stage.

The disadvantage is that, like laser weapons, they are easily affected by the environment, and their power will become smaller and smaller as the distance is farther, but the energy lost is much smaller than that of laser weapons.

Another is that the attack range of the ion beam is relatively small, only the size of the muzzle of the ion beam.

The advantage of the ion cluster is that it has a large attack range and a long range. When the ion cluster hits the target, it will explode, and the high-temperature and high-pressure plasma will shoot around.

The firing distance of the ion cluster depends on the internal energy and the speed of the ion cluster. When can it not maintain the spherical shape and explode on its own, the internal energy depends on the amount of plasma injected into it during launch. The more plasma it takes to explode. The faster, on the contrary, the less plasma, the longer the explosion time, and the faster the speed, the farther the ion cluster will fly before the explosion.

In theory, the farthest can reach 1 million kilometers, but the power at that time can only destroy a car.

The disadvantage of ion clusters is that the emission time interval is long, and it takes 30 seconds to compress the ion clusters.

The flight speed of ion clusters is slow. Compared with the beam of ion beams, the speed of ion clusters is only about 50 times the speed of sound.

Faced with two ion weapons with different advantages and disadvantages, Wang Lei chose the latter because compared to the Valkyrie bomber, the ion group is the opponent’s best weapon. The flight speed of 50 times the speed of sound can be completely resisted, and the maximum speed is only The Valkyrie bomber at 35 times the speed of sound.

The area damage characteristic of hitting the target explosion can also detonate the bombs inside the Valkyrie bomber.

After determining the technical route, it was designed, which took Wang Lei half a month.

Generate high-temperature plasma, heat dissipation system, compress high-temperature plasma to form ion clusters, and then launch ion clusters at 50 times the speed of sound. Each of these links is designed to thousands of parts, materials, and Considering the resonance between parts and other factors, it is not easy to complete it in half a month.

After the design of the ion weapon is completed, it is designed to be reduced, and at least it can be installed on the body of the Titan Mecha.

It took nearly half a month for the reduction of the ion group weapon. After the design of the ion group weapon was completed, Wang Lei planned to take a break and watch the space elevator cable connection ceremony casually.

When I got on the elevator and came to the laboratory on the ground, I heard a muffled sound coming from outside.

“What are you doing out on Sunday?” Wang Lei asked.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Yang Chen and Ge Xucheng are testing the modified mechanical exoskeleton.”

Hearing Sunday’s answer, Wang Lei walked outside the laboratory building with curiosity.

Outside the building, I saw Yang Chen and Ge Xucheng, each wearing an unrecognizable military exoskeleton, where you punched and I punched each other.

The exoskeleton modified by the two of them looked very rough, and the large high-speed hydraulic rods were exposed naked, and it was obvious that the protective armor of the exoskeleton had been strengthened, which was very bloated.

Wang Lei stood aside and looked at it for a while, and it felt meaningless. The two sets of exoskeletons looked very powerful, but were actually useless. Although a large high-speed hydraulic rod was used, they did not increase the lever to further accelerate them. The punch speed is not as fast as the original exoskeleton.

Yang Chen and Ge Xucheng in the middle of the fight saw Wang Lei standing aside, and quickly stopped shaking their fists, “Boss, you have come out of retreat!”

“Not yet, I will come out to take a rest halfway, do you two go to Somalia with me to witness the completion of the earth’s first space elevator?” Wang Lei asked.

“Okay! Okay! Boss, wait a minute, we’ll be ready right away.” Yang Chen and Ge Xucheng said as they rushed toward the laboratory building.

“Remember to call Yang Keer!” Wang Lei shouted at the back of the two.

Ten minutes later, four people and one dog boarded the transport plane and flew towards Somalia.

At this time, in the space station above Somalia, a special towing module has been prepared, and the 70,000-kilometer graphene cable has been neatly arranged in space, ready to withstand thousands of tons of pulling force at any time.

In Kismayo, Somalia, the three of them looked at the base of the huge space elevator in front of them with their mouths full of shock.

Said it is a base, it actually looks more like a huge construction of more than 100 meters.

In the open space next to the base of the space elevator, four people and one dog are lying on the deck chairs specially prepared for them, wearing sunglasses and drinking juice, waiting for the connection of the space elevator cables.

Wang Lei looked at his watch and said, “Let’s start on Sunday!”

“Yes, master! The towing cabin is launched!” Following Wang Lei’s order, the towing cabin was launched toward the earth by a large electromagnetic gun at a speed of 20 times the speed of sound.

The graphene cable connected to the tail also flew quickly to the earth.

Soon the towing cabin entered the edge of the earth’s atmosphere, and the speed began to accelerate due to the gravity of the earth. With the rapid decrease in altitude, the top of the towing cabin began to rub against the air and a hot flame appeared.

The towing cabin against the flame is getting faster and faster, reaching 24 times the speed of sound, and it is still accelerating.

Except for Wang Lei, the others and the dog, looking at the rapidly growing fireball in the sky, couldn’t help but start to panic, especially Einstein, holding his head, buttocks up high, constantly whining.

“Boss, are you sure we will be fine?” Yang Keer asked tremblingly.

Wang Lei raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, “I’m still here, what are you afraid of!”

“According to the scheduled procedure, the ion thrusters on the three cables should have been activated and slowed down.” Just after Wang Lei explained, the fireball in the air gradually disappeared, and the speed of the towing cabin also dropped.

“Look! I’m right!” Wang Lei pointed to the sky, and it became clear that the larger and larger towing cabin arrived.

When everyone looked at it, they saw a slender towing cabin, behind which dragged a long rope that went straight to the sky, and fell quickly to the ground. When there was still a kilometer from the ground, the towing cabin was slammed by the black shell of the high temperature. Bounced to both sides, the four internal ion thrusters were activated to further slow down the falling trend.

At the same time, a thick and long mechanical arm protruded from the top of the base of the space elevator to catch the towing cabin.

After pulling it to a predetermined position, a large rubber wheel rolls up the graphene rope.

At this point, the first cable of the space elevator has been erected, and the next three will be connected by the small elevator along the first cable to the ground.
