Unparalleled True Technology

Space-based weapons are a kind of weapon concept put forward by human beings when they are preparing to enter the space age.

At the current stage, this kind of weapon refers to a new concept weapon system composed of a weapon-carrying platform in earth orbit and the weapons launched by this weapon platform.

Satellites and space stations can all become launch platforms for space-based weapons. Space-based weapons are divided into two types because of their launch modes.

The first is space-based laser weapons, which emit high-intensity lasers from space-based weapons to strike ground targets or enemy satellites in space. The second is projectile space-based weapons, which launch substances with very high mass and density in space, accelerated by the earth's own gravity, and achieve devastating strike effects.

But new concept weapons are new concept weapons. So far, no country has announced that it has truly mastered space-based weapons. Whether it is a space-based laser weapon or a projected space-based weapon.

Major General Nick has a deep understanding of this, so when Wen Ming began to question his intelligence system, he said: In theory, it is really impossible to realize projectile space-based weapons at present, and we, including the United States, have no way to manufacture them. A real projectile space-based weapon. As for space-based laser satellites, it is even more impossible to realize at the current level of technology. I think you know this better than me.”

In the current field of laser weapons, if Wen Ming is said to be number one, absolutely no one can deny it. Because his umbrella company, or he himself, is the only one in the world that can manufacture conventional energy gun weapons and protect this defensive laser weapon.

Wen Ming nodded and said: Yes, it is completely impossible to launch a laser weapon that can hit a surface target from an orbit around the earth. It is indeed possible to send a tungsten rod, or other similar high-density mass objects into space, but again, no one can grasp its landing point.

The United States in another world has a space-based weapon program, which is a projected space-based weapon called the Rod of God. However, the research time of the Rod of God started in 2012, and the completion time was extended to 2025. With the military strength of the U.S. government, it will take more than ten years to realize this kind of weapon, and certain hopes are placed on the continuous development of science and technology. One can imagine the difficulty of manufacturing this kind of weapon.

At this time, the world is still in 2010, although Wen Ming, a time traveler and his daydreams have had a certain degree of impact on the world's technological level. But this kind of influence can almost be said to be on Wen Ming's body. The technological level of other people has not improved much.

The only research institute in Moldova where the real black technology broke out, all researchers died. And the technology they mastered was also obtained by Wen Ming. Even the U.S. Army, which obtained all the remaining equipment and materials in the ruins of the Moldova Research Institute, could not replicate Nether's manufacturing technology within five years.

Not to mention, that kind of ghost can't be controlled yet.

Major General Nick did not discuss possible problems with his intelligence system with Wen Ming, because he did not believe that there would be problems with his intelligence system.

But as far as I know, if you use tungsten rods to hit fixed targets, the current technology can still be achieved.

Hearing Major General Nick's words, Wen Ming laughed and said: In theory, it is true, because although the earth has been rotating and revolving, we have mastered the laws. Through calculation, it is indeed possible to make certain objects Falling from space to a certain area of ​​the earth.

but,

It's just a region.

Wen Ming paused for a moment, and then explained to Major General Nick: The power of projectile space-based weapons actually comes from their speed before entering the earth's atmosphere, because the earth has an atmosphere, and the atmosphere can cause resistance to space-based weapons. This, I think, should be a tentative question.”

Even if the air resistance can be reduced by controlling the shape of the tungsten rod when it is manufactured, and the kinetic energy consumption when reaching the ground can be reduced, if the speed before entering the earth's atmosphere does not reach a certain level, then even with the acceleration of the earth's gravity, It is also impossible to achieve the desired attack effect.

It's easy to speed up in outer space. The speed that cannot be achieved in the atmosphere can be easily achieved in space. But there is a problem, that is, the faster the speed, the lower the control.

Wen Ming made an analogy and asked, When you were driving, did you ever try to go through a 180-yard corner?

Major General Nick felt that Wen Ming was treating him as an idiot, but he had no choice but to answer: No, I have never tried to cross a right-angled turn at 120 yards.

Wen Ming said with a smile: Yes, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to control when cornering. If you can't drift, the car will crash and you will die. But even professional drivers who often play drift, they dare not use 180 yards. speed through a right-angle bend,

Although there is no such thing as cornering in space, but think about it, the speed of tungsten rods in outer space is calculated in Mach. At this speed, do you think that if you make a mistake, you can correct it in time? ?”

There is an old saying in China that a small difference can lead to a thousand miles. If there is even a small error in the distance from outer space to the earth, it is possible to be thousands of kilometers away from the target after landing.

Wen Ming concluded: Do you think it is possible to realize this weapon under the current level of technology?

Major General Nick was silent. He was very shocked when he saw the target person launch a satellite with tungsten rods. But the source of his shock is that money can really do a lot of things.

If the target person does not have 250 billion US dollars, how can it be possible to launch a satellite with tungsten rods?

But after getting the information and discussing it with Wen Ming, he felt that he was really naive. How could space-based weapons, such sci-fi weapons, be realized so easily?

That is to say. Major General Nick asked seriously: Do you think the target's space-based weapon is just a...'toy' to intimidate us?

Wen Ming nodded, and said: Yes, I think this is just a deterrent method, like someone holding a knife to rob, in fact, if the robbed object has a certain ability to resist, then it will be regarded as the other party holding a knife. A knife may not be able to hit him. Or in the process of your actions, the enemy has a gun, but the marksmanship is really bad, and the bullets can't hit you after shooting.

Wen Ming didn't know the cause and effect of his daydreams, what kind of corrections he had made to the world, and he didn't know whether the target's space-based weapon was a toy or not.

However, he had to make Major General Nick stop worrying, and use thunderous means to eliminate the target person.

Yes, what Wen Ming said are all lies that seem to be correct, because it involves the cause and effect of daydreaming, can it really be viewed with common sense?

Not to mention that the target person has the technology to control the precise landing point of the tungsten rod, but only the causal role of daydreaming, it is possible for the target person to be very lucky and drop the tungsten rod on Jurassic Island, or where Wen Ming is. Location.

Under such circumstances, how could Wen Ming let the target person use the space-based weapon as a talisman to exist for a long time?

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, so Wen Ming should strengthen the confidence of Major General Nick and get rid of the target person as soon as possible.

Major General Nick, who is completely ignorant of Wen Ming's 'sinister' thoughts, of course cannot be moved by Wen Ming's words.

I'm going to a meeting now, and I'll talk about it when I get back.

Obviously, Major General Nick is going to consult an expert he really trusts. 8)
