Not even now, Lu Zhou can confidently assert that even if it were pushed back a hundred years, he might not be able to find a way to produce such a weapon.
However, compared to Commander Sun's optimism, it is not that no one holds the opposite opinion.
As soon as the video call was connected, Academician Ge Huaizhi's face immediately appeared in front of him. His old face turned red as if he had something to say, and his eyes were full of excitement, making him want to crawl out of the video window.
Lu Zhou sat down on the sofa and looked at the old man who was so excited that he couldn't laugh or cry.
When he saw that the communication request was from Academician Ge, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and turned off the holographic composition system in front of him, then put on his personal terminal and walked to the lounge next to him, pressing the connect button. button.
"No, it's not a trouble! Yes, it's a good thing!"
Lu Zhou was stumped for a while on how to use a few fixed straight lines to connect the planets whose positions were changing in real time.
However, even with the cover of asteroids and meteorites, it only took less than a minute to destroy all targets.
It is absolutely impossible with current technology to integrate a series of complex devices such as a second-generation controllable fusion reactor, a Z-particle oscillation device, sensors and quantum processors responsible for calculating the flight path into one missile.
It's okay to improve the warp drive, but the problem mainly lies in the calculation and selection of hyperspace channels. His current informatics level is LV10. With Xiao Ai's help, he optimized the calculation module of the warp engine and integrated a separate multi-core quantum processor into the engine, which basically solved this problem.
I was about to give him the first glass of water, but after pouring it on, I realized that the Academician Ge Huaizhi floating in front of me was just a holographic projection, so I had to drink it myself.
For other regional alliances on the earth, even pan-Asian cooperation that has mastered warp technology, it will take a lot of time to light up this branch of technology on the warp navigation technology tree.
For example, the hyperspace channel can only be opened normally when a starship is located between two massive celestial bodies. Another example is that the impact of Z particles on the curvature of space can be superimposed on the vibration state of other Z particles.
Staring at the test data on the holographic screen, a staff officer thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but express his concerns.
Regarding Lu Zhou's words, Commander Sun Liwei just smiled noncommittally and did not give any comments.
Looking at the elusive green dot on the radar and the astonishing test data, all the officers in the command headquarters held their breath in shock.
Taking a deep breath, he finally calmed down. Looking at Lu Zhou with excitement, Academician Ge Huaizhi continued with a trembling voice.
Just as the crew of the Qinling were shocked by the scene of the naval gun salvo, Lu Zhou and many officers from the First Fleet Command at the Lagrange Point space base also witnessed it. The rain of bullets poured towards the asteroid belt like a waterfall.
In other words, as long as the target starship's general course and sailing direction are known, warp sailing can theoretically be "intercepted". Even this technology is not very difficult at all. It only requires a higher-power device similar to a Z-particle oscillator.
This not only involves a considerable amount of calculation.
"It's a space elevator!"
The first fleet that has mastered the warp speed navigation technology will completely increase its power projection range by an order of magnitude, and its maximum combat radius will increase by more than a thousand times from the original 0.5 to 1 AU.
"It's really a headache..."
For the sake of convenience, after Lu Zhou boarded the Qinling for a while, he asked Captain Deng to send him back to the Tianzhou, and then took the space shuttle back to Jinling.
He looked like he had never seen the world, and for a moment it was unclear who was born and raised in the future.
…
After seeing the performance of the Qinling in the experiment, he can be said to be extremely confident in the future of the First Fleet. If they were overwhelmingly powerful against other fleets in the solar system before, then now, after possessing second-generation controllable fusion and warp navigation technology, they are like gods!
Sitting in front of the workbench in the laboratory, facing the dazzling pile of parts spread out in the holographic blueprint, Lu Zhou scratched the hair on the back of his head with a headache.
Warp speed navigation is not just a matter of installing an engine. It not only requires a considerable amount of energy consumption, but also involves a series of complex space curvature calculations.
Just like that, another month passed, and it was already June in the blink of an eye.
"There is no need for guided weapons at all."
However, this kind of difficulty is only for Lu Zhou.
Therefore, at least at this stage, there is nothing wrong with Commander Sun's judgment.
Leaving aside the space elevator, in addition to improving the warp engine, there is also an interplanetary highway system waiting for him to study. Although the latter two are technically related to a certain extent, neither is something that can be easily accomplished.
He took a moment to look at the calendar. Just when he was about to sigh that time flew by so fast, a communication request pop-up window suddenly popped up next to him.
Of course, if there are any weaknesses, this warp navigation technology is not without weaknesses.
"What kind of trouble are you running into again? You're so anxious."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't talk too much. If there are really aliens, if they can touch the earth, they must have traveled tens of thousands of years before us, or they must have mastered similar super-light speed technology." … No matter what the situation is, it’s not that easy to deal with.”
However, the stargate of the interplanetary highway...
From a tactical point of view, this jumping cruise method can not only avoid the tracking of radar and radio telescopes, but also change the battlefield position in an instant, whether it is escaping the range of the opponent's firepower tracking, or suddenly flashing into the opponent's target. If a naval gun is fired preemptively from behind, all these wild tactics will become possible.
Seeing such a beautiful answer sheet, Commander Sun Liwei finally handed over the Qinling to Lu Zhou with confidence, allowing him to freely conduct the experiment on hyperspace channels.
After the live-fire exercise, the Qinling returned to the spaceport at the Lagrange Point Space Base.
He has a lot of work recently and doesn't have much time to waste.
A total of 67 targets, automated artillery arrays simulating sky pirates are deployed in a fan shape in the asteroid belt area with a width of 10 kilometers, relying on meteorites and asteroids as bunkers.
"What on earth is going on? Don't worry, tell me slowly."
Lu Zhou looked at the officer, smiled and said, "Although I am not an expert in the military field, and this sentence may be too absolute, at least with the current technical conditions, no missile can catch up to hyperspace. If you go inside the passage, it won’t be possible for a long time in the future.”
"The first phase of our project has been completed!"
"It seems the effect is quite good."
Immediately afterwards, the Qinling followed the exercise script and practiced a series of subjects such as coverage strikes against moving targets beyond visual range, as well as long-distance raids on space ports.
"Lu, Academician Lu!"
"It's more than good!" It took a long time to catch up to Lu Zhou's words. Commander Sun, who recovered from the shock, clenched his fists excitedly, and the white hair on his temples couldn't help but tremble, "I dare It is asserted that once such technology appears on the battlefield, it will be a crushing existence for starships without warp engines! Even in the face of aliens, we are confident to compete with them!"
From the Lagrange point to the asteroid belt, it took less than three seconds!
More patience is needed...
Strategically, this rapid deployment capability allows one of their fleets to play the strategic deterrent role of several fleets.
"I admit that if you look at it this way, the Qinling's firepower is indeed powerful enough. But I think that a single firepower output method will eventually have a negative impact on its overall combat effectiveness. If there are no guided weapons-"
