Chapter 1613 Heaven-Defying Combat Power

"It seems that the effect is not bad."

Just as the crew members on the Qinling were shocked by the scene of the gun salvo, Lu Zhou and many officers of the First Fleet Command who were far away at the space base at Lagrange Point also witnessed the scene. The rain of bullets poured towards the asteroid belt like a waterfall.

There are a total of 67 targets, and the simulated air pirate's automated artillery array is deployed fan-shaped in the asteroid belt area with a width of 10 kilometers, relying on meteorites and asteroids as shelters.

However, even with asteroids and meteorites as cover, it only took less than a minute to destroy all the targets.

Immediately afterwards, according to the script of the exercise, Qinling rehearsed a series of subjects such as coverage strikes on moving targets beyond visual range, and long-distance raids on space ports.

Seeing the green dot that appeared and disappeared on the radar, and the astonishing test data, all the officers in the headquarters held their breath in shock.

That appearance that has never seen the world makes people confused for a while, who is the native-born future man.

"It's more than good!" It took a long time to pick up 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 shaking, "I dare It is asserted that once such a technology appears on the battlefield, it will definitely crush starships that do not have a warp drive! Even in the face of aliens, we have the confidence to compete with them!"

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Don't talk too much, if there are aliens, they can touch the earth, they must start tens of thousands of years before us, or they must have mastered similar super-light technology ...No matter what kind of situation it is, it is not so easy to deal with."

Regarding Lu Zhou's words, Commander Sun Liwei just smiled noncommittally, without giving any comments.

After seeing Qinling's performance in the experiment, he can be said to be extremely confident about the future of the First Fleet. If they were overwhelmingly powerful against other fleets in the solar system before, then after possessing the second-generation controllable fusion and warp speed navigation technology, they are like gods now!

From the Lagrangian point to the asteroid belt, it took less than three seconds!

Strategically, this rapid deployment capability allows one fleet to play the strategic deterrent role of several fleets.

From a tactical point of view, this jumping cruising method can not only avoid the tracking of radar and radio telescopes, but also change the battlefield position in an instant, whether it is to escape the range of the opponent's fire tracking, or suddenly flash into the opponent's Afterwards, throw a round of naval guns preemptively, and these unconstrained tactics will become possible.

Of course, if there are any weaknesses, this warp speed navigation technology is actually not without weaknesses.

For example, the hyperspace channel can only be opened normally when the starship is located between two massive celestial bodies. For example, the influence of Z particles on the curvature of space can be superimposed with the vibration state of other Z particles.

That is to say, as long as the approximate course and direction of the target starship are mastered, warp speed navigation can theoretically be "intercepted". Even this technique is not too difficult at all, it only needs a higher power device similar to Z particle oscillator.

However, this kind of difficulty is only for Lu Zhou.

For other regional alliances on Earth, even Pan-Asian cooperation that has mastered warp speed technology, it will take a lot of time to light up this branch technology on the warp speed navigation technology tree.

Therefore, at least at this stage, there is nothing wrong with Commander Sun's judgment.

The First Fleet, which 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 also directly increase by more than a thousand times from the original 0.5~1AU.

However, compared to Commander Sun's optimism, it is not that no one has the opposite opinion.

Staring at the test data on the holographic screen, an officer of the staff department pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but express his concerns.

"I admit that Qinling's firepower is indeed strong enough if you just look at it this way. But I think that a single firepower output method will eventually have a negative impact on its overall combat effectiveness. If there is no guided weapon—"

"There's 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 too absolute, at least with the current technical conditions, no missile can catch up to hyperspace Go inside the passage, it will not be possible for a long time in the future.”

Warp speed navigation is not a matter of installing an engine, which not only consumes a considerable amount of energy, but also involves a series of complex space curvature calculations.

It is absolutely impossible to integrate a series of complex devices such as the second-generation controllable fusion reactor, the Z particle oscillation device, and the sensors and quantum processors responsible for calculating the course on a missile, with the current technology.

Let alone now, Lu Zhou can confidently assert that even if it is pushed back a hundred years, it may not be possible to find a way to produce this weapon.

...

After the live-fire exercise, Qinling returned to the spaceport at Lagrange Point Space Base.

Seeing such a beautiful answer sheet, Commander Sun Liwei finally handed over the Qinling to Lu Zhou with confidence, and let him do the experiment on the hyperspace channel freely.

For the sake of convenience, after boarding Qinling for a circle, Lu Zhou asked Captain Deng to send him back to Tianzhou, and then returned to Jinling by air-space shuttle.

He has a lot of work recently, so he doesn't have much time to waste.

Leaving aside the space elevator, in addition to improving the warp drive, there is also an interplanetary highway system waiting for him to study. Although the latter two are technically related to a certain extent, neither of them is something that can be easily handled.

Not only does this involve a considerable amount of computation.

More patience is needed...

In this way, another month passed, and it was already June in a blink of an eye.

Sitting in front of the workbench in the laboratory, facing the dazzling pile of parts in the holographic blueprint, Lu Zhou scratched the hair on the back of his head with some headaches.

"It's really a headache..."

It's okay to improve the warp speed engine, the problem is mainly in the calculation and selection of the hyperspace channel. His current level of informatics is LV10, and with the help of Xiao Ai, he optimized the calculation module of the warp speed engine and integrated a multi-core quantum processor into the engine, which basically solved this problem.

However, the star gate of the interplanetary highway...

How to use a few fixed straight lines to connect the planets whose positions change in real time really stumped Lu Zhou for a while.

Taking time out of his busy schedule to glance at the calendar, just as he was about to feel how time flies, a pop-up window popped up next to him for a communication request.

Seeing that the communication request was from Academician Ge, Lu Zhou did not neglect, and turned off the holographic composition system in front of him, then put on his personal terminal and went to the lounge next to him, and pressed the switch button button.

As soon as the video call was connected, Academician Ge Huaizhi's face immediately appeared in front of him. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, his old face was flushed, his eyes were full of excitement, and he almost wanted to crawl out of the video window.

"Lu, Academician Lu!"

"What's the trouble again? So anxious."

"No, it's not trouble! Yes, it's a good thing!"

Lu Zhou, who sat down on the sofa, looked at the excited and incoherent old man with a face full of tears and laughter.

Just about to give him the first glass of water, after pouring the water, I realized that Academician Ge Huaizhi floating in front of me was just a holographic projection, so I had to drink it myself.

"What's the matter, don't worry and talk slowly."

"It's a space elevator!"

Taking a deep breath, he finally calmed himself down. Looking at Lu Zhou excitedly, Academician Ge Huaizhi continued in a trembling voice.

"Our first phase of the project has been completed!"
