super robot clone

Chen Xin didn't have time to think about the ideas of other countries. After taking the two women to visit the living quarters, the three returned to the cockpit and began to further test the performance of the Dream. ..[]

Dream's engine was turned on again, without the shackles of gravity, Dream only needed to turn on a small afterburner, and its flight trajectory began to climb continuously under the dumbfounded eyes of engineers from aerospace measurement and control departments around the world. From 3 kilometers to [-] kilometers, then to [-], [-], [-]... Finally, Dream slowly moored into the geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of more than [-] kilometers.

Here, Dream is facing the sky above the equator, running in the same direction as the earth's rotation, with a cycle of 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, which is consistent with the time of the earth's rotation. The orbital speed of the satellite is about 3.1 km/s, which is equal to The angular velocity of the Earth's rotation.

At present, most of human communication satellites are deployed in the geosynchronous orbit. Generally, only three communication satellites are needed to realize global communication except for the two poles.

"God, how did they do it? How can such a small body store so much fuel?"

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable."

At present, the aerospace aircraft under development in various countries in the world can only operate in low-Earth orbit space. If you want to enter geosynchronous orbit, you need to make great progress in both material technology and engine technology.

Qiao Ting has been fighting with Ling Wei before, but this is just a way for her to adjust her psychological pressure.

After all, Chen Xin suddenly released such a large satellite today, which is really surprising.Now the people on the ground are probably in a mess long ago, but she has no way to pass the relevant news back to the country.

However, she never let go of the details that should be paid attention to. Even though Qiao Ting has a good impression of the war, she is still very clear about her mission.

After entering the geosynchronous orbit, the Dream AI gave 80.00% of the fuel remaining. Even though she was used to some incredible technologies of the war and ignorance, Qiao Ting was still shocked for a while.

Looking at the earth from here, the topography and landforms on the earth can no longer be distinguished. This azure planet is like a magnificent sapphire quietly suspended in the space.

Ling Wei and Qiao Ting leaned over to the porthole, looking dazedly at everything in front of them.Except for those American astronauts who landed on the moon in the Apollo program more than 40 years ago.No one had ever observed the moon from such a height, and Chen Xin was the first.

At this moment, both Qiao Ting and Ling Wei suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Ling Wei murmured: "I used to say how much human activities have affected the earth, but now I look at it from here. The earth is still a blue planet."

Qiao Ting said: "Yes. Compared with nature, human beings are really too small."

"Okay, don't worry about the two of you, now the flight test of the Dream is over. Next, let's test its weapon system!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Chen Xin said to Qiao Ting and Ling Wei with a smile.

Qiao Ting was taken aback: "There are weapons on board the Dream?"

Before boarding the Dream, Qiao Ting circled the plane a few times, trying to find out what weapons were installed in the Dream, but she couldn't see it.

Of course, Qiao Ting doesn't think that the Dream has no attack power at all. At least installing nuclear warheads or electromagnetic pulse bombs in the aircraft's bomb bay is enough to pose a huge threat to other countries.

But now they are in the geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of more than 3 kilometers. Generally, it is enough to throw bombs in a low-earth orbit of several hundred kilometers. There is no need to run so high.

Chen Xin seemed to understand Qiao Ting's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Of course the Dreamer carries weapons, otherwise, if it hits some space junk, it will be a tragedy. Don't worry, this set of weapons is used to clean up space junk. .”

"Clean up space junk?"

Qiao Ting was about to ask, when the intelligent AI system on the Dream said: "The energy storage of the high-energy laser cannon has been completed, the power of this launch is 20 megawatts, and the target distance is 3 kilometers. It is a scrapped Russian weather satellite. , confirm the lock?"

Qiao Ting and Ling Wei also came over to see how powerful the legendary laser weapon is.

To be precise, there are many types of laser weapons, such as space-based laser weapons, airborne laser weapons, ground-based anti-satellite laser weapons, and tactical high-energy laser weapons.The Dream is undoubtedly equipped with the legendary space-based laser weapon. In outer space, without the interference and weakening of the air medium, the power of the laser weapon will be greatly improved. On the contrary, nuclear weapons, which rely on shock waves and radiation to kill weapons, are nothing effect.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States once conducted a solid-state laser experiment, and a 10-kilowatt laser beam is enough to destroy ordinary shells in a quarter of a second.

At present, the average output power of laser weapons in major countries in the world is at the level of kilowatts or 10 watts, which can damage photoelectric detection equipment, target indication equipment, and temporarily blind or permanently blind the human eye within [-]km.

Of course, there are not no large laser weapons. The United States once modified a Boeing 747 as a test carrier for abl laser weapons, which can be used to intercept enemy ballistic missiles in the boost and ascent phases.

It is a pity that the technical difficulty and cost of this plan are too high. If we maintain a combat fleet consisting of 7 aircraft, it will cost at least 10 billion US dollars to modify one aircraft, and the modification cost of all 7 abl aircraft will cost nearly 70 billion US dollars. US dollars, while the operation of the entire fleet may cost a total of 360 billion US dollars.

Due to the current limited laser power and the prospect of reaching a practical state is far from being seen, the U.S. Department of Defense cut off this costly project in 2009 and turned it to technology verification.

Qiao Ting did not expect that the first time she experienced a high-power laser weapon test was in a geosynchronous orbit of more than 3 kilometers.

At this time, a picture taken with a high-resolution optical telescope appeared on the big screen in the cockpit of the Dream. damaged.

Qiao Ting soon saw a bright light spot appeared on the surface of the weather satellite. She knew that this was just a low-power laser used for calibration, and its energy consumption was limited. What is the power of megawatt laser weapons?

"Confirm lock, ready to launch!"

"Target confirmed, launch!"

As soon as AI's voice fell, Qiao Ting only felt a flash on the screen. Before she could react, the weather satellite that was originally intact suddenly fell apart and was divided into several parts at once. According to the pictures sent back, a group of misty particles appeared near the weather satellite. I don't know if it is the product of re-condensation of the metal on the weather satellite after being evaporated by the high temperature of the laser cannon. (To be continued..)
