"It seems that the effect is pretty good."
Just when the crew on the Qinling were shocked by the scene of the naval gun salvo, Lu Zhou and many officers of the First Fleet headquarters at the Lagrange Space Base also witnessed the rain of bullets pouring toward the asteroid belt like a waterfall.
There were a total of 67 targets. The automatic artillery array that simulated air pirates was deployed in a fan shape in the asteroid belt area with a width of 10 kilometers, relying on meteorites and asteroids as cover.
However, even with the asteroids and meteorites as cover, it only took less than a minute to destroy all the targets.
Immediately afterward, the Qinling practiced a series of subjects such as covering attacks on moving targets beyond the visual range, as well as long-distance raids on the spaceport, according to the maneuver script.
Looking at the green dots on the radar and the amazing test data, the officers in the command center all held their breath in shock.
That look of inexperience made it hard for people to figure out who was born and raised in the future.
"It's more than good!" After a long time, Commander Sun, who had recovered from the shock, clenched his fists excitedly. Even the white hair on his temples couldn't help shaking. "I dare to assert that once such technology appears on the battlefield, it will crush the starships without warp engines! Even if we face aliens, we have the confidence to compete with them! "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't be too confident. If there are aliens, they either started tens of thousands of years earlier than us, or they must have mastered similar faster than light technology … In either case, they are not easy to deal with."
Commander Sun Liwei just smiled and did not give any comment on Lu Zhou's words.
After seeing the performance of the Qinling in the experiment, he was extremely confident in the future of the First Fleet. If they were only overwhelmingly powerful to other fleets in the solar system before, then now, with the second-generation controllable fusion and warp speed navigation technology, they were like gods!
From the Lagrange point to the asteroid belt, it took less than three seconds!
From a strategic point of view, this kind of rapid deployment ability could allow their fleet to exert the strategic deterrent effect of several fleets.
From a tactical point of view, this kind of warping method could not only avoid the tracking of radars and radio telescopes, but it could also change the position of the battlefield in an instant. Whether it was escaping the enemy's firing range or suddenly flashing to the enemy's back to launch a preemptive strike, these unimaginable tactics were all possible.
Of course, this kind of warp speed navigation technology was actually not without weaknesses.
For example, the hyperspace channel could only be opened normally when the starship was between two massive celestial bodies. The influence of Z particles on the curvature of space could be superimposed with the vibration of other Z particles.
In other words, as long as the general route and direction of the target starship were known, in theory, warp navigation could be "intercepted". In fact, this kind of technology wasn't too difficult at all. All they needed was a higher-power device similar to the Z particle oscillator.
However, this "no difficulty" was only for Lu Zhou.
For other regional alliances on Earth, even including the Pan-Asian Cooperation that had mastered warp navigation technology, it would take a lot of time to light up this branch of the warp navigation technology tree.
Therefore, at least at this stage, there was nothing wrong with Commander Sun's judgment.
The power projection range of the First Fleet, which had mastered warp navigation technology, would completely increase by an order of magnitude, and the maximum combat radius would directly increase from the original 0.5 to 1AU to more than a thousand times.
However, compared to Commander Sun's optimism, it was not that no one held the opposite opinion.
Staring at the test data on the holographic screen, an officer of the General Staff thought for a long time, but he finally couldn't help but speak out his concerns.
"I admit that the firepower of the Qinling is indeed strong enough. But I think that a single firepower output method will eventually have a negative impact on its comprehensive combat effectiveness. If there are no guided weapons — "
"There is no need for guided weapons at all."
Lu Zhou looked at the officer, smiled, and said, "Although I am not an expert in the military field, and this sentence may be a bit too absolute, at least with the current technical conditions, no missile can chase into the hyperspace channel, and it will be impossible for a long time to come."
Warp navigation was not something that could be done by installing an engine. Not only did it consume a considerable amount of energy, but it also involved a series of complex space curvature calculations.
It was absolutely impossible to integrate a series of complex devices such as a second-generation controllable fusion reactor, a Z particle oscillator, and sensors and quantum processors responsible for calculating the channel on a missile with current technology.
Not to mention now, Lu Zhou could confidently assert that even if it was pushed back a hundred years, he might not be able to find a way to produce such weapons.
…
After the live-fire exercise ended, the Qinling returned to the spaceport at the Lagrange Space Base.
Seeing such a beautiful answer sheet, Commander Sun Liwei was finally relieved to hand over the Qinling to Lu Zhou, letting him do the experiment on the hyperspace channel.
For the sake of convenience, after Lu Zhou boarded the Qinling and circled around, he asked Captain Deng to send him back to the Tianzhou, then he took the space shuttle back to Jinling.
Recently, he had a lot of work to do, so he didn't have much time to waste.
Not to mention the space elevator for the time being, in addition to improving the warp drive, there was also the interplanetary highway system waiting for him to study. Although the latter two were related to a certain extent in technology, neither of them could be easily done.
This involved a considerable amount of calculation.
It also required enough patience …
Just like this, another month passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already June.
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.
"This is really giving me a headache …"
Improving the warp drive was easy, but the main problem was the calculation and selection of the hyperspace channel. His current information science level was level 10. With the help of Xiao Ai, he optimized the calculation module of the warp drive and integrated a multi-core quantum processor on the engine. This problem was basically solved.
However, the stargate of the interplanetary highway …
How to use a few fixed straight lines to connect the planets that changed their positions in real time really puzzled Lu Zhou for a while.
He took some time to look at the calendar. Just when he was about to sigh that time passed so fast, a communication request popped up next to him.
As soon as he saw that the communication request was from Academician Ge, Lu Zhou did not neglect. He turned off the holographic composition system in front of him, then put on his personal terminal, walked to the lounge next to him, and pressed the connect button.
As soon as the video call was connected, Academician Ge's face immediately appeared in front of him. He seemed to have something to say. His old face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He almost wanted to climb out of the video window.
"Lu, Academician Lu!"
"What kind of trouble are you in? Why are you in such a hurry? "
"No, it's not trouble! It's a good thing! "
Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the old man who was so excited that he was incoherent.
He wanted to give him the first glass of water, but after pouring the water, he realized that Academician Ge Huaizhi floating in front of him was just a holographic projection, so he had to drink it himself.
"What the hell is going on, don't worry, speak slowly."
"It's the space elevator!"
Academician Ge Huaizhi took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down. He looked at Lu Zhou with excitement and continued in a trembling voice.
"Our first phase of the project has been completed!"
