Chapter 641 The complete success of the test

The United States, Russia, and Europe feel strange these days. They find that China's high-power lasers are firing a bit frequently these days.

Aren't you worried that your body can't take it?

Through monitoring and calculations, all parties determined that Huaxia's laser weapon is a powerful laser weapon with a power of more than 1 megawatt and an attack altitude of 1000 kilometers.

Such a powerful power and attack range are enough to destroy most of the reconnaissance satellites and communication satellites. Just when they thought that it was Space X or which satellite that angered CNSA, they asked around, and there was no, and there was no one One of their satellites was destroyed by Chinese laser weapons.

Is it a laser weapon anti-ballistic missile test?

However, the satellite reconnaissance showed that no ballistic missile was launched. All parties speculated independently, but the results were not conclusive. We can only know one or two after the relevant departments of Huaxia make an announcement.

In fact, laser weapons are not unique to China. The United States, Europe, and Russia also have laser weapons.For example, the powerful laser weapons of the United States used laser weapons to attack a low-orbit satellite at the Starfire Optical Range in New Mexico in 2007, and now the United States has two ground-based laser anti-satellite weapons with a diameter of 3.5 meters and 3.67 meters. 1 megawatt, which is powerful enough to destroy military reconnaissance satellites in an 800-kilometer orbit.

Russian laser weapons are also very advanced. Various models, for example, one of the laser weapons is mounted on the chassis of various vehicles to detect, track and eliminate various drones within a range of 5 kilometers. It has been used many times In actual combat, very gratifying results have been achieved.There is also an airborne laser anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapon system 'A-60', which is designed to fight spy satellites.There are also ground-based laser anti-satellite weapons with a power of more than 1 megawatt, which can destroy military reconnaissance satellites in orbits of 1000 kilometers.

In Europe, several second-rate powers are also investing in laser weapons, and they are not much weaker. For example, Germany installed a laser weapon system on the navy's F124 'Saxony' class frigate.For example, France conducted a laser weapon test two years ago and destroyed 6 Space X satellites by mistake, which caused Space X to continue to protest.

It’s just that everyone knows that Huaxia is a world leader in laser weapons. As early as 10 years ago, Huaxia was equipped with ground-based vehicle-mounted chemical laser weapons with a diameter of 0.6 meters and a power of 0.1 megawatts. 600 kilometers of low-orbit satellites to attack.And there is also a laser weapon, which is specially used as a ground-based vehicle-mounted weapon to intercept missiles. Even Huaxia has developed a "laser weapon" that is a big killer, with an effective killing range of 3 kilometers, which can instantly destroy a large satellite. It can directly burn through the thickened warhead of ballistic missiles, declaring that medium and long-range missiles and intercontinental missiles are no longer threatening weapons.

At this time, when the outside world was speculating, Huaxia began to conduct the final stage of the experiment, that is, the experiment of the "energy shield" facing the attack of 2 megawatt laser weapons. Once this experiment is successful, it means " The energy shield' will protect against the world's most powerful laser weapons.

In Long Province, the power of the No. 3 laser cannon was adjusted to the maximum, and a very thick laser shot out, attacking the 'experimenter' satellite.

At the same time, the ground command center is monitoring the satellite at any time. When it sees the laser attacking the satellite, the satellite is still operating normally.

At this time, warm applause and cheers erupted from the ground command center, which represented the complete success of the 'energy shield' test, and represented that the protection capability of satellites or other spacecraft will be improved to a large level in the future .

The 2 megawatt laser weapon is now the most powerful laser weapon in the world, and it is only owned by China. It will take at least 10 years for other countries to successfully develop a 2 megawatt laser weapon.

Qin Yuanqing received the news at the first time. When he saw the good news, Qin Yuanqing showed a smile on his face. He completed the "energy shield" space test and passed the test, which means that the next "energy shield" device will be used On aerospace planes, and future military satellites.

The military also attaches great importance to this "energy shield" space experiment. After all, the establishment of the space force is also a member of the military. This is related to future military theory and military reform. It is necessary to explore and experiment one by one. This is undoubtedly what every military expert must pay attention to and study.

National defense construction has always been the top priority.

Without a strong national defense, no matter how good the economic construction is, it will not be able to keep the fruits of economic construction and be plundered by others. Look at those once prosperous and listed as developed countries. It turned into ruins, the people were displaced, there were broken eaves and walls everywhere, or economic turmoil. Under the economic crisis, the currency depreciated dozens, hundreds, and thousands of times, and decades of hard work were looted.

This world has never been a peaceful and kind world, but a world full of cruel and bloody forest laws.

The law of the jungle has never changed.

Space technologies like these will not be first applied to the civilian field, but to the military field, and will not be applied to the civilian field until one day it is almost the same.

This is true for new technologies such as controllable nuclear fusion miniaturization technology, anti-gravity technology, and plasma engine technology.

Even quantum computers, artificial intelligence, etc., are first applied to the military field, and then wait until the military technicians have explored and established a safe system to ensure national defense security, and then they are applied to the civilian field.

Following the complete success of this test, after completing the inspection of the satellite and charging the battery, the satellite will be put back into the predetermined orbit and used as a normal satellite. The aerospace plane will return to the surface of the earth from space under the driving of the astronauts.

Next, before the final test of "manned landing on the moon", the aerospace plane will carry out four test flight missions, and during this test flight, the 10 astronauts of the test flight team will all have the ability to operate and drive the aerospace plane. skills.

When the second aerospace plane is completed and enters service, five of the astronauts will serve as the flight regiment of the second aerospace plane. At the same time, 20 newly selected astronauts will join the two space planes. Aircraft, practical operations and missions, so as to step by step train astronauts with experience in space.

So far, in addition to the astronauts who have retreated to the second line, among the first-line astronauts, China has 45 astronauts who have entered space and performed space missions in space. This number far exceeds that of other countries, and as time goes by, The number of such astronauts will increase rapidly, and the aerospace team will usher in a blowout period.

On this day, Qin Yuanqing came to the astronaut training center. Today, the astronaut training center is conducting a selection competition to select outstanding astronauts for the construction of the "Double Ring Space Station" in space next year. Although the "Double Ring Space Station" adopts modular automation construction, However, this does not mean that all construction can be completed by module automation alone, and no human participation is required. In fact, this is not the case. Astronauts are still required to participate in the construction process, and some even have to be done by astronauts themselves.

After all, a lot of work is simply impossible to do with robots, mechanical arms, etc. A machine is always a machine.

"Commander, this group of young astronauts is much better than us old guys. They are full of personality and imagination, and they are very creative. They think about possibilities, and their ability to acquire new knowledge The ability to accept is obviously stronger than that of the first, second and third generation astronauts." Yang Liwei personally took Qin Yuanqing to watch the ongoing selection from a distance: "It is the fourth generation of astronauts. The ability to accept new things is not as good as that of the fifth-generation astronauts!"

Qin Yuanqing picked up the binoculars, looked at the astronauts who were undergoing training not far away, and nodded slightly.

After years of development, China's astronaut team has formed a very obvious echelon construction. Each generation of astronauts has clear boundaries, and each generation of astronauts has its own background and unique characteristics.

For example, the current fifth generation of astronauts are all post-00s. This group of post-00s lives in the era of China's economic take-off and has sufficient nutrition, so each of them is tall and big, generally taller than their predecessors. Physical fitness is also much better.And this generation, when they were studying, mobile phones and computers were very common. When they were in junior high school, smart phones were common, and tablet computers were not uncommon. They saw the world more widely. The ability to accept new things is also strong, and they are willing to accept new things, and even new ideas are always popping up in their heads.

Innovation is most vividly reflected in this generation.

As for the third-generation astronauts, Liu Yang and Wang Yaping both began to gradually transfer to the second line. In the future, they will also serve as commanders when they enter space, and they will train the new generation of astronauts on the ground.

So far, in the next ten years, the fourth-generation astronauts will be the intermediate force and the main force for building space stations, while the fifth-generation astronauts will be the main force ten years later.

Even at this time, the sixth generation of astronauts has begun to be launched, and the goal is to focus on the 10th generation, so that the aerospace team will continue to develop, endlessly, and spread forever.

Even Yang Liwei, who will retire in a few years, will quit his main job and turn to consulting, and continue to play his spare heat.

This is exactly the expression of the saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before die on the beach. The torrent of the times is always moving forward, and no one can resist the progress of the times.

Compared with the past, the facilities of the astronaut training center have been greatly improved. Quantum computers, artificial intelligence, holographic projection technology, realistic simulation technology, etc., are all used in astronaut training, and because of the anti-gravity technology, astronauts The training center has a dedicated training cabin that simulates the space environment in all conditions.
