Deep Space Fleet

Chapter 221 Weapon Production Plan

Ten minutes later, more high-level 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 follow-up second or third batch.

Coupled with the fact that the incident is so big, even some ordinary people have some vague guesses in their hearts. Many people have seen the nuclear flash of the nuclear bomb, and the nuclear fusion engine has been activated urgently, and the Earth Times has also entered a state of motion. These traces are all It cannot be concealed artificially.

The mothership is slowly accelerating, not just a fixed target like before, but the consequence is that it has temporarily lost contact with the underground base on the planet, and the long carbon nanorope has been retracted, and there is no way to exchange materials and personnel exchange.

The start of the nuclear engine is consuming a large amount of helium-3 resources with a small reserve, which makes Zhang Yuan feel distressed to death. Fortunately, human beings have found uranium mines on the surface, otherwise there may be an energy crisis and they will die on this planet.

After the short meeting, Captain Zhao was in front of the TV station, giving a serious speech on war. As for the possible war, there is nothing to hide. The war is about to start, so we can't hide from the people who the enemy is, right?

"I officially announce that we have entered an emergency wartime state!"

"...We must be vigilant enough against this unknown enemy, and even carry out the same retaliation!"

"If you seek peace through struggle, then peace will survive; if you seek peace through compromise, then peace will perish!"

Zhang Yuan stood under the stage, he was sending text messages to comfort his wife.

"Yes, there were no casualties. It's just that the spaceship was made a hole by the high-dimensional debris, and nothing else... I'm fine too. There's not much loss. Don't worry, no follow-up missiles will be launched for the time being."

"I don't need to go to the battlefield, you can rest assured."

But having said that, people really don't know what this enemy is!

They don't even know what the other person looks like.

Some people say that there is an unknown technological civilization hidden underground, and others say that it is an out-of-control artificial intelligence that has wiped out civilization!

Everyone knows that this step cannot be retreated at all. Even if there are not many weapons and no ability to resist, taking a step back is hell!

There is simply no ability for people to leave this galaxy, nor is it possible to surrender to each other.

The noisy crowd was emotional, and some people were still in a state of confusion. Such a big emergency happened suddenly, and there was no time to react.

After the speech, Captain Zhao walked off the stage and held a second emergency meeting.

Several high-level officials just sat in their seats without saying a word, and various reporters who wanted to interview were temporarily driven out by the soldiers.

After the uproar, there was silence.

"Now the common people already know about it. The war mobilization work has to trouble the Propaganda Department, not only to maintain the stability of the people, but also to ensure a strong fighting spirit... In particular, our industrial capacity is insufficient, and the production of weapons and equipment may would sacrifice the current quality of life."

"There is no problem with this, everyone should be able to understand." A leader of the Propaganda Department nodded.

Zhao Qingfeng saw that everyone's emotions had stabilized a little, and said with a solemn face: "Let me ask you first, how long will it take for us to produce space weapons, including nuclear bombs, by diverting most of our resources and reducing the quality of life of most of the people?" ?”

In the face of life and death crisis, all industrial development plans can only be put on hold temporarily.

One of the engineers gritted his teeth: "We have already discovered a relatively good uranium mine on the surface. If a huge part of the resources are used, within half a year, six thousand centrifuges can be produced..."

"Within one year, an atomic bomb can be detonated, and a hydrogen bomb can be detonated within two years! There are not too many technical difficulties, but there are still some industrial difficulties."

"The shortest and shortest is nine months."

Hearing that it will take more than nine months, the meeting room suddenly became lively again.

Nine months is really too long, even a bit too long, no one knows when the other party will make a big move!

Maybe a few days later, another bunch of nuclear bombs will be launched!

However, in this kind of cosmic war, nuclear bombs are already the most conventional weapons, and high-explosive bombs and TNT are simply laughable things.

According to the interstellar wars that broke out in human civilization, there are three most conventional weapons: missiles, lasers, and electromagnetic guns.

Needless to say, missiles are basically nuclear warheads, hydrogen bombs, and helium-3 bombs. They are powerful and slow. They are suitable for short-handed handover, but they are easy to be intercepted.

Lasers focus 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, based on the current industrial capabilities of the new civilization, it is very likely that laser weapons can be produced in the short term. Because laser weapons need some special crystals, these crystals are products of condensed matter physics, which are not easy to preserve for a long time, and there is no way to bring them from the earth.

To actually manufacture similar crystals cannot be accomplished overnight.

The manufacturing difficulty of the electromagnetic gun is slightly less than that of the laser, but the power of the electromagnetic gun is directly 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, several kilometers, tens of kilometers are not too much!

Therefore, the tonnage and volume of the electromagnetic gun are often very large... This is one of the reasons why the Earth Age did not carry these space weapons.

One of the military experts said: "I think that the first goal can be to manufacture weapons such as missiles and small electromagnetic guns...First of all, there must be sufficient defensive means to counter the enemy's ultra-high-speed missiles. The speed of electromagnetic artillery shells At least one hundred kilometers per second must be achieved to have a sufficient interception success rate."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Understood... I will be in charge of the research on nuclear bombs and electromagnetic guns."

"So, what about gas bombs? Biochemical weapons?" Captain Zhao asked.

"No, the feasibility is too small."

It was a biologist who spoke, "We don't have any research on the life on this planet at all, and we don't know what poisonous gas they are afraid of... Like some gases in the atmosphere, they are poisonous gases themselves, which can kill most of the earth. Bacteria also react chemically with poisonous gases and neutralize them directly."

"Besides, there is a vast planet below, and it's not as big as our spaceship... All kinds of typhoons have a strong dilution ability. How much poisonous gas do we need to produce to poison the creatures hiding in the cave? The current productivity , even if it is possible to produce a hundred years of poisonous gas."

Hearing this fact, everyone was in a state of helplessness, even Zhang Yuan didn't have a good idea.

He lightly tapped the table with his fingers, frowning tightly, the current human power is really too bad, it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how smart she is, it is impossible to come up with a good solution.

He sighed softly: "If you give us another eight or ten years, the situation will improve greatly, but there is no such thing as if in this world..."
