One Punch Star Annihilation

Vol 4 Chapter 695: Shipborne space-based railgun

"Some people say that the Shenzhou is not equipped with a weapon system. Unfortunately, in this test flight plan, there is indeed an optional plan for the weapon system display. Since you want to see it so much, wait and see."

Fang Zhenguo pointed his finger at the largest screen in the air show center.

This is a giant screen, the size of a giant screen in a movie theater.

Everyone on the scene followed Fang Zhenguo's fingers and looked at the giant screen.

It is not only the audience attending the air show, but the world does not know how many people are paying attention to the Shenzhou.

Some are broadcast live via video, while others are observed via satellite.

For some countries with strong scientific and technological strength, they have not paid attention to the pictures taken by the East China Sea at all.

Because they know very well that the live signal source released by the East China Sea must have been processed and will not reveal the secrets of Shenzhou.

Therefore, it is not known how many exploration satellites are staring at Shenzhou at this time.

The images that these exploration satellites will observe and the facts are transmitted back to the center of the ground.

Unknown scientists all over the world are conducting data analysis on Shenzhou.

However, the information that can be obtained from the analysis of the shell is too little.

Inside the White Eagle Congress building.

The chief of Congress pointed to the satellite footage and asked: "How fast is this thing?"

There are few data that can be analyzed through the images taken by satellites, but the speed is the easiest data to measure.

The secretary looked at the information in his hand and replied: "In the atmosphere, the limit speed of this spacecraft has reached Mach 3, which is about 3,600 kilometers per hour."

"Mach 3, this is not fast. Our fighters can easily reach this speed." The chief of the White Eagle Congress heard this data and felt that it was too slow at all.

The secretary quickly explained: "This should be the first test flight. They did not test the limit speed. Moreover, according to the scientist's explanation, the Shenzhou was flying over the airshow center in the lower air.

"If a spacecraft of this size flies at supersonic speeds in the troposphere, the sonic boom will shatter all the building glass below."

When breaking the sound barrier, the sonic boom caused is also destructive.

However, when Fang Yuan broke through the sound barrier, the destructive power of the sonic boom was not obvious.

The reason is simple, because the size is too small.

The Shenzhou is 100 meters long, and the area that it rubs against the air is thousands of times that of Fang Yuan, and the sonic boom caused by it is naturally much stronger.

Therefore, if Shenzhou breaks through the sound barrier at low altitude, it will cause very serious damage to people on the ground.

Shenzhou broke through the speed of sound and continued to fly out of the troposphere after entering the stratosphere.

"What about now? What speed is this spacecraft now?" The Chief of the White Eagle Congress continued to ask.

"The current data is relatively high, reaching 16 kilometers per second, about 50 Mach." The secretary replied.

The secretary paused and added: "However, the Shenzhou has already flown out of the atmosphere. As long as the engine power is maintained, it can continue to accelerate. In fact, the speed data is not important now, and the acceleration and limit speed data may be more important."

"Where did this thing fly?" The chief of the White Eagle Congress looked at the picture taken by the satellite. The background was the deep cosmic starry sky, and he couldn't understand it at all.

"The test flight of the Shenzhou has been going on for almost an hour, and by this time it... has reached the Earth's synchronous orbit. It is about 36,000 kilometers from the ground." The secretary seriously answered every question about the president's promotion.

"The interpreter just said that they are going to show the weapon system. When will it start?" The Chief of the White Eagle Congress became a little impatient.

"It should be soon..." The secretary is also not so sure. Since we need simultaneous interpretation to know what Fang Zhenguo is talking about, there is still some delay in real-time understanding.

...

Not only the White Eagle Congress, dozens of countries all over the world are watching the spacecraft flying out of space.

Waiting for Fang Zhenguo's promise to demonstrate the weapon system.

"What weapon system is going on?" In the East China Sea's air show center, everyone was staring at the screen closely while still talking in a low voice.

"Maybe it's a space-based nuclear weapon silo?" Some people discussed and some people speculated.

Time passed by every minute.

When the Shenzhou spacecraft entered the geosynchronous orbit, the scene that many people expected finally appeared.

In the picture, the abdomen of the Shenzhou was slowly opened to both sides, and a huge barrel was protruded from the belly of the aircraft. The black hole of the barrel seemed to be grinning, just looking at it made the back chill.

"Cannon! It's a muzzle!" In the air show center, someone suddenly exclaimed.

"It turned out to be a gun? What kind of gun is this? Why is there such a big gun barrel?" The air show center suddenly boiled.

"With a barrel, is it a kinetic energy weapon?" Some people began to speculate.

"Isn't it possible? Use kinetic energy weapons in space, and the shells will burn when they enter the atmosphere?" Some people began to question.

"Have you never heard of the rod of God?" Someone began to show off the hearsay of space-based weapons.

"I only heard of God mentally retarded." Someone immediately retorted.

When the picture was presented, the audience was so excited.

A large group of reporters gathered around Fang Zhenguo and asked in a hurry, "What is the barrel? What weapon is that?"

Fang Zhenguo smiled mysteriously and said: "I just said that the weapon system of the Shenzhou could be displayed, and I didn't say that it would answer your questions. However, I can tell you the name of this weapon, ‘Shipborne Space-based Railgun’."

"Shipborne space-based railgun!"

Everyone who heard the name on the scene showed a mixture of shock and stunned expressions.

The name was unexpected, but it made sense.

"Space-based orbital gun? Isn't the space-based orbiter referring to weapons mounted on satellites or space stations?" Some unidentified audience members began to question.

However, Fang Zhenguo did not answer any more questions.

All the information he can disclose is arranged in advance by the headquarters, and he can't say a word except the information allowed by the headquarters.

The audience began to argue with excitement.

"Space-based weapons, I remember they were installed on satellites?" Many visitors to the air show asked the same question.

"Who stipulates that space-based weapons must be installed on satellites? Satellites are simply not suitable for equipping weapons. Satellites do not have any mobility and defenses. There are more than one or two countries with missiles against satellites. ..."

Some viewers who have some knowledge of space-based weapons began to express their views: "So, it is not realistic to install space-based weapons on satellites. It is still possible to install them on space stations.

"However, the space station also has no mobility. It is just a target. The stronger the weapon, the faster it explodes.

"So, the only way out for real space-based weapons is ship-based. Ship-based space-based weapons are the future development direction of interstellar warship weapons."
