Chapter 315 Space Kinetic Energy Weapon
"Finally, the desired effect has been achieved. If there is no accident, only nine such space kinetic energy weapons are needed to complete the impact on Pluto and force it to change its flight trajectory."

Thursday, June 2030, 5.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In a certain room of the headquarters building, Xu Lei looked at the [-]D virtual model in front of him with satisfaction, and sighed with emotion in a low voice.

Words are full of praise for this model.

During this week, except for eating and resting, Xu Lei was basically optimizing the model of the kinetic energy weapon.

It can be said that a lot of effort was put into it.

Even the research institute was temporarily handed over to Li Chengzhe.

As for the company's business needs to connect with the world and the complicated matters, it relies on Chen Shihe and Xingtong.

In short, all aspects are very stable, and nothing happened that needs to worry Xu Lei.

Because of this, Xu Lei was able to calm down and optimize the space kinetic energy weapon.

After all, he had just proposed a three-step plan for the Pluto disaster at the Human Security Alliance, and now it is an important stage of implementation. He, a congressman, should always appear in the public eye.

Only in this way can the public always maintain confidence and be willing to make their own efforts to complete these world-class projects.

That is to say, there are enough talents of all kinds in Future Technology, so even if Xu Lei doesn't show up, he can still maintain the stability of the situation.

At least this point Xu Lei is very relieved.

Otherwise, even if he stays in the room and optimizes the kinetic energy weapon, he can still give instructions to Xingtong at any time.

You must know that with Xingtong around, no matter what happens in the outside world, it cannot escape his eyes.

When the line of sight is projected onto the virtual model, it can be seen that the structure of this space kinetic energy weapon is very simple.

Yes.

very simple.

If compared with the Shenzhou interstellar warship, then this space kinetic energy weapon can be regarded as a child's toy at best.

In addition to having a very large metal body, the most conspicuous thing is the nuclear fusion power engine propeller that provides power.

Other than that there are no core components.

In fact, the idea of ​​space kinetic energy weapons was really complicated in the first version, with various components in it, and it was simply in accordance with the specifications of the star warship.

Because taking the Shenzhou as an example, if it is used to hit Pluto with full power, it can have the same effect as a kinetic energy weapon.

It's just a little bit more expensive.

But in the past few days of painstaking research, Xu Lei figured out the key point, and felt a sense of clarity.

The so-called kinetic energy weapons are like big trucks speeding by.

Mainly highlight a collision.

The most important thing is that the main body is hard enough, and the power of the propeller is strong or weak.

As long as these two points can be met, space kinetic energy weapons will definitely show great power.

With this brand-new idea, Xu Lei simply overturned the previous modeling and started over, finally using a hard metal substance as the main body of the weapon, and ensuring that it has a sufficient mass.

Coupled with the use of nuclear fusion power engines on interstellar battleships as propellers for kinetic energy weapons, it is simply a combination of strength and power.

Of course, the final simulation test results also made him very satisfied.

Enough to be applied in the impact mission of Pluto.

Besides, the flight orbit of Pluto is fixed, and at most it is accelerated under the action of planetary gravity, which is different from missiles attacking moving targets.

As long as the distance and speed of the two sides are calculated and the space kinetic energy weapon is launched in advance, the two sides will inevitably meet near the orbit of Jupiter.

No need for too many messy devices at all.

With its own flight speed, Pluto may be able to escape Jupiter's gravity and avoid the fate of becoming a Jupiter satellite, but as long as its orbit and speed change due to impact, it will be easily captured by Jupiter.

At that time, the latter two solutions do not need to be used to solve this crisis of human civilization.

Crucially, the simpler the device, the faster it can be made.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that enough space kinetic energy weapons can be produced in the next limited time.

However, this space kinetic energy weapon also has a big disadvantage.

That is, the mass of its metal body is too large, beyond the carrying range of the space elevator car.

Originally, the manufacture of space kinetic energy weapons should be similar to that of interstellar warships. After the components are manufactured on the earth and stars, they will be transported to the near-Earth space port by space elevators for splicing and assembly.

But since it exceeds the load capacity of the space elevator and cannot be transported by traditional methods, there is only one way left to choose.

That is, moving the manufacturing plant to space.

In fact, after the complete success of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei has decided to carry out a new round of expansion and transformation of the near-Earth space port, so that it has the ability to build a shipyard.

Thereby further improving the manufacturing efficiency of warships.

Let human civilization have a battleship formation as soon as possible, with absolute power in the solar system.

But right now space kinetic energy weapons are obviously more important, so it can only temporarily delay the manufacture of interstellar warships, and first use the near-Earth spaceport that is being transformed and expanded to complete space kinetic energy weapons.

Anyway, the final version of the space kinetic energy weapon after many optimizations has a relatively simple structure, and it is relatively easy to manufacture nine units with all our strength.

What's more, at the moment, the power of the world is concentrated together.

At this time, Xu Lei's thinking was running quickly, going through all the thoughts that flashed through his brain, and then he was going to go to the research institute to inform about the situation of space kinetic energy weapons.

This is also good for early production.

"Star pupil."

"Name this model Taishan Space Kinetic Energy Weapon, and save it and upload it to the research institute."

"Open the viewing authority of scientific researchers."

"Also let Cheng Fei prepare the car, I'm going to the research institute."

After finally giving such an order, without waiting for Xingtong to respond, he simply changed his clothes and walked outside.

In the three-step plan to deal with the Pluto crisis, Xu Lei has too many things to be responsible for.

For a project like the manufacture of space kinetic weapons, he will certainly not personally participate in it, and upload the relevant models to the research institute. At that time, relying on Xingtong's explanation to master it will not be a big deal for scientific researchers.

After all, it is a very simple structure.

However, since space kinetic energy weapons need to be built in space, they can only be controlled by scientists, and space robots complete the main process.

What's worth mentioning is that Xu Lei hoped that the naming of Mount Tai would give full play to its overwhelming advantage and strive to get rid of Pluto like Mount Tai.

For Xu Lei, the planetary defense orbital gun and the underground dormant base are the most important plans.

Because the collision between the space kinetic energy weapon and Pluto was completed near the orbit of Jupiter, there was at least a year and a half of buffer time for human beings at that time.

Even if the final impact is unsuccessful and Jupiter fails to successfully capture Pluto, humans still have the opportunity to make new plans, so that there will be no all-losing scene.

Not so with planetary defense railguns and underground dormant bases.

If the planetary defense heavy orbital gun cannot completely destroy or crush Pluto, then once it collides with the planet Earth, it will be a devastating blow to mankind.

And there is no way to salvage the situation.

At that time, if the impact is too violent, the underground dormant base may be affected, and human civilization will lose the last fire.

Although the three-step plan is currently being implemented all over the world, they have chosen suitable locations to dig and build underground bases, but this kind of base does not yet have the function of dormancy.

It still needs to wait for Future Technology to produce a sufficient number of dormant capsules and transport them to various bases.

Because of this, in terms of the current total population of human beings, at least 80 billion biological hibernation chambers need to be manufactured to ensure that all people can sleep deeply.

Although the influence this will bring will be astonishing, Xu Lei is very clear that this cannot be done at all.

All he can do is to lead the company to produce as many stasis chambers as possible in the remaining eight years.

As for the rest, they can only hope that Yu Taishan's space kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense orbital guns will play a role.

In this way, the underground dormant base is also dispensable.

Xu Lei's positioning for the underground dormant base is to preserve the last fire of human civilization. Naturally, it is impossible to make everyone have hope of survival.

……

With Xingtong's notification arrangement, Cheng Fei moved very quickly.

Almost as soon as Xu Lei came out of the headquarters building, the prepared car stopped in front of him.

"Mr. Xu."

"Go to Ping County." Hearing Cheng Fei's greeting, Xu Lei said casually.

As soon as the voice fell, he sat in the back row of the car.

Perhaps it was the Pluto crisis that put a lot of pressure on Xu Lei, and he hadn't been out in the past few days, which made him almost speechless after the car started.

I remember that when Cheng Fei first entered the future technology, the two of them would communicate like friends on this occasion, which was very relaxed and comfortable.

But now the sun is turning and the stars are moving.

Although Xu Lei and Cheng Fei have not changed, Pluto is like a mountain pressing on everyone's hearts, no matter how confident they are in future technology, they still can't be happy.

After all, this effect is subtle.

I always feel that something is on my mind, and I can't help not thinking about it.

I am afraid that only when Pluto is truly resolved will the smile reappear on everyone's face.

Fortunately, Cheng Fei is also aware of the responsibility on Xu Lei's shoulders, so he will not feel any dissatisfaction with it, and he often prays that everything will go well for Xu Lei and lead mankind to overcome this catastrophe.

However, when he learned that Xu Lei was going to the Fusion Institute of Future Science and Technology in Ping County, he still asked in a procedural manner: "Mr. Xu, do you need to inform the Institute first?"

Xu Lei slowly raised his gaze, and said a few words: "There is no need for notification, don't affect their work."

After speaking, the upper and lower eyelids fought and quickly fell asleep.

After all, the real world does not have the various bonuses in the science and technology museum, and its time will not stand still. People who work and think for a long time will definitely be tired.

Also, because of the role of the Science and Technology Museum, Xu Lei's brain development is higher than that of ordinary humans.

So it is possible to integrate so much technical knowledge.

Although this can make his thinking sharper and he can solve various troubles in a short period of time, it is a greater burden on his body every time, causing him to need to sleep for a longer period of time, and his food intake has increased significantly.

At first Xu Lei didn't care about it, thinking that it would not cause too much impact on himself, but with the research and optimization of new technologies, especially the construction of the space kinetic weapon model this time, he clearly felt the problems in his body.

To put it simply, the fragile carbon-based body is almost unable to support the energy needed by his brain.

After understanding this situation, while he was more eager for technological exhibits to improve his physical fitness, he was less daring to purchase new technological exhibits.

There is a very tangled state of mind.

In the final analysis, he was worried that if he received new technical knowledge, it would further increase the burden on the body, and even lead to brain death due to exhaustion of brain energy.

This is what Xu Lei absolutely does not want to see.

For this reason, he can only try his best to find exhibits suitable for his current state, and then choose slowly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even he, the cheap museum owner, does not know how many booths there are in the upper space of the Science and Technology Museum.

Simply put, there are simply too many to count.

Faced with a large number of various science and technology exhibits, it will take some time for Xu Lei to choose the most suitable one, so when he is free, he will go to the upper space of the Science and Technology Museum.

This time I have been busy modeling space kinetic energy weapons for so long, and now that I have finally completed it, it is inevitable that I will feel tired when I relax.

Cheng Fei saw Xu Lei falling into a deep sleep through the rearview mirror, but took the initiative to slow down the speed of the car, wanting him to take advantage of the time on the road to rest for a while.

You must know that Xu Lei is the spiritual pillar of all mankind today. If something goes wrong now, it is related to the future of the entire human civilization.

Ping County, where the Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is located, is only about [-] kilometers away from Binjiang City, but it took nearly twice as long to arrive this time than before.

Originally, when the car was stable, Cheng Fei wanted Xu Lei to sleep more, but thinking that Xu Lei must have important matters to deal with when he came to the research institute at this time, he naturally did not dare to delay the progress of the entire project.

So he tentatively called softly: "Mr. Xu, we have arrived at the research institute."

"Mr. Xu."

It might be because Xu Lei slept relatively lightly in the car, but when Cheng Fei yelled the second sentence, he woke up.

"I actually fell asleep." Xu Lei rubbed his hazy eyes, and was surprised when he came back to his senses: "Is it already here?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Cheng Fei hurriedly got out of the car and offered to help Xu Lei open the door.

Because Xu Lei voluntarily did not inform the institute of his itinerary when he arrived, no one knew of his arrival yet, and all the researchers were busy with their own affairs.

It seems to give people a very busy feeling.

In this regard, Xu Lei did not let Cheng Fei follow him, and arranged for him to go back to Longfor High-tech Park for the time being, and then walked alone to the building where Li Chengzhe was.

This time I successfully solved the modeling of space kinetic energy weapons, and I will definitely stay in the research institute to preside over the implementation of the three-step plan for the next time, and it is possible not to return to the company for a few days.

So naturally there was no need to keep Cheng Fei waiting.

You must know that Xu Lei specially set up a place to live in the research institute for this reason.

It was not the first time for Cheng Fei to send Xu Lei to the research institute, so naturally he would not have any objection to his orders, and he would come back in advance when Xu Lei needed to return to the company.

Entering the main building of the research institute, the researchers who met head-on saw Xu Lei coming and greeted him one after another, their eyes full of respect and admiration.

But who is Xu Lei?

He has long been used to being paid attention to, and he didn't feel any discomfort about it. Instead, he smiled back very usefully.

Then, according to the instructions of other people in the hospital, I came to the laboratory where Li Chengzhe was, and listened to him muttering to himself excitedly.

"This is the real epee without front, it's really exquisite."

Hearing this, Xu Lei thought that the other party might have made a new research breakthrough, so he no longer hid himself, and suddenly walked over and asked curiously: "Vice President Li is so happy, could it be that he has made some new research breakthrough?"

"Dean, why are you here?"

When Xu Lei suddenly interrupted his rhythm, Li Chengzhe was stunned for two seconds, and then joy reappeared on his face: "By the way, Dean, your latest space kinetic energy weapon modeling is so perfect. With it We can definitely knock Pluto off course."

After hearing Li Chengzhe's words, Xu Lei couldn't help being a little dazed. He didn't expect that the other party was watching the space kinetic weapon model he had just asked Xingtong to upload.

It's normal for the other party to have such a big reaction.

But since space kinetic energy weapons were mentioned, Xu Lei couldn't help but mention a few more words.

"You have checked the modeling of the Taishan space kinetic energy weapon, so you should know how it is manufactured. How is the new round of transformation and expansion of the near-Earth space port going? When can the manufacture of the Taishan space kinetic energy weapon start?"

"Now there is a division of labor involving global forces, so the progress is much faster than before." Facing Xu Lei's question, Li Chengzhe answered while thinking: "According to calculations, it will take another two months at most. It can be transformed and has the ability to produce warships and kinetic energy weapons.”

"Two months, it should be enough time." Hearing Xu Lei whispered to himself.

Delaying two months, switching to the original version of kinetic energy weapons may not be able to produce enough quantities on time.

The simplified version is absolutely fine.

Even if it is launched from the earth and stars one and a half years in advance, ten Taishan space kinetic energy weapons can be produced in more than six years.

After settling the matter of space kinetic energy weapons for now, Xu Lei shifted the topic to the underground dormant base.

"Has the global construction of underground dormant bases started?"

"It's started. Take our Binjiang City as an example. The location of the construction has been determined. It will officially start in two days. However, many overseas regions are not too enthusiastic." Li Chengzhe reported the situation he had to Xu Lei.

"Isn't it too high?" Xu Lei frowned.

Seeing the puzzled look on Xu Lei's face, Li Chengzhe hurriedly explained: "It's like this. Some areas believe that the impact of kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense orbital gun attacks are enough to solve the Pluto crisis. There is no need to spend a lot of money to build underground Dormant base."

After listening to Li Chengzhe's explanation, Xu Lei was not surprised, since they wanted to gamble, they gambled.

Anyway, the output of dormant cabins is limited, and the number of underground dormant bases in overseas regions has decreased, so dormant cabins can be used first in China.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei immediately said: "Don't worry about them, as long as they contribute to the other two projects."

"I understand the dean." Li Chengzhe nodded with deep satisfaction.

In Xu Lei's original plan, he planned to use the technical knowledge in his mind to create the dormant cabin first, and cooperate with Hu Xinren to complete the transformation and installation of the intelligent production line, first to increase the production capacity of the dormant cabin.

As for the planetary defense railgun, there is no problem with Sunan and Zhao Jingbin being in charge.

After all, they have helped a lot in the research of the starship's weapon system.

However, when Xu Lei was about to go to Hu Xinren's place, he saw Li Chengzhe took out another design drawing and asked for advice as he unfolded it: "There is one more thing I want the director to help with. This is what the research center has drawn together in recent days. The blueprint for the construction of the underground dormant base, is there anything wrong with it?"

It may be that the older generation still likes to draw drawings by themselves and rarely uses virtual modeling, so Xu Lei is a little different when he sees what Li Chengzhe is holding.

It wasn't until he heard that the above content was the design drawing of the underground dormant base, that he became very interested.

The underground dormant base mainly includes the centralized storage location of the dormant cabin and the area where the nuclear fusion reaction device is located. In addition, to avoid the impact of various severe natural disasters that may occur, the construction of the base does require special attention.

With detailed and complete drawings, all parts of the world only need to build according to the drawings, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble in the middle.

It really needs to be paid special attention to.

Immediately, Xu Lei cast his eyes over to observe carefully, and found that the design drawings were still very good, and some of the very special designs were even more remarkable.

It is enough to shoulder the heavy burden of ensuring the safety of the dormant cabin.

The only thing that makes Xu Lei dissatisfied is that this kind of underground dormant base is too petty.

That is, the interior space is slightly smaller.

Although it is convenient to build in this way, it simply cannot accommodate many dormant cabins.

According to this situation, I am afraid that a city needs to build multiple underground dormant bases, which has a big gap with his goal.

So after a little hesitation, Xu Lei simply used virtual modeling to re-perfect and optimize on the basis of this blueprint.

During the period, Li Chengzhe and several other related scientists also exchanged views respectively.

In the end, when the new design model was completed, it was immediately announced to the public, providing a template for the construction of underground dormant bases in various places.

During this process, Xu Lei also learned from other people that the construction of an underground dormant base still requires a lot of manpower. In addition, he had seen the proposal to temporarily close the virtual world before, and after many considerations, he decided to stop the investigation of ordinary people. Open virtual worlds and virtual games.

After this news was announced to the public, it naturally caused a big reaction.

Although most people express their support and are willing to work together with future technology to deal with the crisis brought about by Pluto, there is no shortage of protest and accusation speeches.
