As usual, Liu Yi did not participate in these men's affairs. She took Xian Hua and Zi Hua to Xiao Song's palace. She would rather chat with Luo Yang than watch these men fight against the heavens. It was her duty to take things as they came.
Zheng Jianyi took Chen Weizheng, Chen Huaan, and Chen Huasi to the main control room, where dozens of monitors were lined up.
The commander-in-chief of the space defense was Shen Zhong from Shin Myung Province, and the chief of staff was Zhu Weiguang.
Seeing Chen Weizheng come in, a smile appeared on Shen Zhong's gloomy face, but it was quickly replaced by a gloomy expression. Chen Weizheng rarely saw such an expression on Shen Zhong's face, so he knew that the situation was serious.
Shen Zhong explained, "Currently, Apophis is only about 50,000 kilometers away from Earth. We estimate that the first wave of interceptors will be 40,000 kilometers away. Our large aircraft carrier is still not operational, so this time, we will use all the UFO fighters. Although their flight speed is good, their attack power is relatively weak. Each fighter can only carry five nuclear bombs. The first wave of 100 UFO fighters carries a total of 500 nuclear bombs. The pilots are the most experienced Russian soldiers in space. Their attack is mainly to push the asteroid out of its orbit. "
The screen showed the video sent back by the first wave of warships. They were flying towards the asteroid Apophis.
"The second wave is also a hundred flying saucers, made up of the UA Space Air Force. Like the Russian fighter jets, they hope to help the Russian fighter jets and try to move the orbit of Apophis in these two waves of strikes. If they can't do so, they will pin their hopes on the third wave." Shen Zhong lowered his head. He did not say anything else.
Chen Weizheng wanted to ask why, but he knew that Shen Zhong was in a bad mood, so he did not ask.
Zheng Jianyi said, "I'll take you to see the space carrier. It's in trouble."
"What's wrong?" Chen Weizheng asked.
"It can take off and sail in space, but it's too slow," Zheng Jianyi said.
"If it's too slow, let it walk slowly and turn it into an armed synchronous satellite in space. If Apophis passes by it, activate it to engage the enemy," Chen Weizheng said.
Zheng Jianyi said with a wry smile, "Then how many do we have to build? Building one is already an astronomical figure."
Chen Weizheng smiled. He had taken things for granted.
"Old Zheng, when Shen Zhong was talking about the third wave, his mood was very heavy. What happened?" Chen Weizheng asked.
"The third wave consisted of two hundred flying saucers, all Chinese pilots. Their flying saucers were not equipped with launchers. The whole flying saucer was a big nuclear bomb. Their responsibility was to crash the flying saucers into the asteroid Apophis and die with it. If the first and second wave of attacks didn't work, they could only place their hopes on the third wave. In theory, if these two warships self-destructed at the same time, the energy would be enough to destroy the moon. Dealing with an asteroid shouldn't be a problem. " Speaking of this, Zheng Jianyi said with self-blame, "It's all our fault. If we had developed the space carrier earlier, there wouldn't be such a problem. Our soldiers have to use their flesh and blood to protect our planet."
"For the sake of sacrificing so much, we dare to call the sun and moon a new sky." Chen Weizheng said, "Old Zheng, this is their duty. If that day really comes and you and I are asked to fill in, we will still have to fill in. Let's go and see the space carrier. "
After leaving the research institute, they took Zheng Jianyi's car and went straight to the manufacturing factory. It was Chen Weizheng's first time walking on the streets of Delhi. This was a well-preserved city full of antiques. It was once the capital of India, divided into old and new Delhi. Old Delhi had a long history. As the capital of ancient India and the main city of the ancient trade route from Northern India to the Ganges Plains, Delhi had left behind many historical relics and sites. The old city was once the capital of the Mughal Empire for a long time. After India got rid of the British colonial rule, New Delhi became the federal capital. Since then, Delhi had gradually developed into a metropolis, gathering all the people of India. Delhi was like other big cities in the world. With the expansion of the city, there were problems such as environmental pollution, traffic jams, and resource shortages. After the independence of India, the rapid development of Delhi caused the income of the residents to rise rapidly. However, Delhi lost its original cultural identity.
After the establishment of the new Song Dynasty, all the buildings after the 20th century in Old Delhi were demolished, exposing the historical relics and sites. Aiming at these relics, an open urban area was built with greenery, historical relics, and sightseeing paths. Walking in this area, it was as if they had returned to the Mughal Empire. The first garden mausoleum in the Indian subcontinent, the Humayong Mausoleum, the simple Akbar Mausoleum, and the white marble Taj Mahal. It was as if they were telling the story of history to everyone who walked by, the past glory and today's prosperity.
"What a beautiful city!" Chen Weizheng exclaimed.
"That's because you haven't seen it before. It's probably a synonym for dirty and messy," Zheng Jianyi said.
"That's already history. What we need to do now is to not let Asteroid Apophis turn our beautiful home into history," Chen Weizheng said.
"Yes, our media made a series of the most beautiful scenery on Earth, called 'Our Planet', and it was broadcasted all over the world. People said, 'If this film is not the swan song, it is the horn.'" "That's right. A clarion call that ignited the fighting spirit of the people. " Zheng Jianyi said, "Our Chinese soldiers are ready to sacrifice themselves. The Russian and American pilots have no plans to come back. Before they set off, they swore that they would use their lives to protect our planet, our only home. "
After passing through the Delhi Gate, they arrived at the New Delhi district. This was a bustling commercial district. Compared to the old Delhi district, it was as if they had gone through a time and space tunnel. They had suddenly arrived at the 21st century from the 16th century. The visual contrast made Chen Weizheng feel a little uncomfortable. There were all kinds of small cars on the streets. Young people in all kinds of fashions were playing on the streets. There were all kinds of signs competing with each other. There were all kinds of strange advertisements. There were also tall buildings with strange decorations.
Chen Weizheng noticed a phenomenon. At the entrance of every building, there was an incense table set up. Next to the incense table were incense sticks and candles. Every passerby could burn incense and candles at will. There was no charge, and no one would stop them. Chen Weizheng asked Zheng Jianyi what was going on.
Zheng Jianyi told Chen Weizheng that now, not only Delhi, but the whole world was using all kinds of methods to pray for the space pilots, hoping that they would be safe. At the same time, they were praying for themselves, hoping that they could avoid this disaster. They were also praying for Earth. Even if human civilization was destroyed in this attack, as long as Earth was still there, there would be new civilizations on this planet. Perhaps after a few thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, the later civilizations would still know that there was a kind of human civilization that had been on Earth for thousands of years.
Chen Weizheng shook his head. Maybe it was not that bad yet. With a sigh, Chen Weizheng and Zheng Jianyi walked into the manufacturing factory.
The manufacturing factory was about 100 kilometers away from the city of Delhi. It took less than an hour for a high-speed car to arrive. This was a huge desert. Huge factories and long runways could be seen on the road.
Chen Weizheng was used to not understanding these things. He didn't even know how the flying saucer flew into the sky. He came to see the space carrier more to comfort Chen Weizheng. He suddenly understood Third Fatty Jin's actions when he first came to power. Every day, he would inspect the army, and the next day, he would inspect the farms. He didn't know anything about the navy's warships and the air force's planes.
Even a layman like Chen Weizheng found the problem. The problem was that the huge object in the manufacturing factory was not the battleship he had imagined, but a clumsy space station. It could only provide a space platform, but not a machine that could participate in battles.
Zheng Jianyi told him that the idea of this thing came from the United States' space carrier.
The space carrier was a large aircraft that used carrier-based aircraft as its main weapon and acted as its air base. It was similar to an aircraft carrier, but its range of activity was not on the sea, but in the sky.
In the past, the Americans believed that future wars would no longer be fought on the sea, but in the sky. In the future battlefield, the "space carrier" would be cruising in the sky under the protection of various aircraft such as satellites, early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, electronic warplanes, armed supply airships, etc. Therefore, the space carrier program was proposed at the beginning of this century. The manufacturing base of the new Song Dynasty only turned the idea of the Americans into a reality. The carrier-based aircraft also became a flying saucer.
In the imagination of the Americans, the spacecraft that would be carried on the "mothership" might include "suicide weapons" such as cruise missiles. It might also release unmanned and recoverable aircraft to hunt the target, or it might be manned aircraft that could strike the target accurately.
The "space carrier" that was being developed and designed by the United States, Russia, the European Union, South Africa, the former Japan, and the former India, was still limited to dominating the earth. They had never imagined that it could be used in space. The "space carrier" could be up to 300 meters long, 20 meters high, with a wingspan of more than 100 meters, and an unprecedented load capacity of 800 tons. Its maximum speed was 30,000 kilometers per hour, and it could fly safely in the orbit of the earth at an altitude of 200 kilometers above sea level.
When piloted, it could take off and land horizontally in a conventional airport, and fly at an unprecedented speed of more than Mach 5 in the atmosphere. It would only take two hours to fly from Washington, the capital of the United States to Tokyo, Japan. Flying in the orbit outside the atmosphere, its flying speed would be as high as 25 times the speed of sound, and it would only take 90 minutes to circle the earth once. It could almost reach any corner of the earth in real time and join the battle, leaving the enemy no time to react.
However, due to the limitations of technology, the design could not be realized until Chen Weizheng took the UFO back to the new Song Dynasty and dissected it. After that, he found a new power method and a new power material in Xinhe. Only then could the giant space carrier with a length of 900 meters, a height of 200 meters, and a wingspan of more than 500 meters be pushed into space. However, the speed in space was extremely low, and it could not even reach 25 times the speed of sound. It could only be a spaceport, not a fighting machine in space.
