Chapter 157, Laser Weapons

"I think don't worry about it too much, just add a laser weapon system to the city of the sky. Without any weapon system, our city in the sky may be destroyed by space junk soon, and the huge investment will completely It’s not in vain, and people in space and so on are also facing great danger.”

Li Fu thought for a long time, and finally decided to install a laser weapon system for the city of the sky. The city of the sky is a huge investment, and it is also the bridgehead for Fuyun Group to enter space. Without any protective measures, it is really too unsafe .

The others nodded after listening to it. Li Fu had already made up his mind, so there was nothing for everyone to object to.

"I think this matter is listed among the company's top secrets. Our weapon system should not be exposed as much as possible. After all, there will still be a lot of trouble. After our company can obtain the license to manufacture weapons in the future, it will not be exposed again." It's reasonable and legal."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Bin added that there is still no consensus on whether things in outer space should abide by the law, so it is better not to say anything about it. In the future, the law will gradually improve, and the company will continue to develop. Maybe in the future You can obtain a license to produce and manufacture weapons.

You must know that the Fuyun Group has obtained the license to produce aerospace aircraft. In addition to being used to travel to and from space, the aerospace aircraft is actually used for combat. Once the situation changes, the aerospace aircraft will soon be able to Converted into an aerospace fighter to defend China's interests.

"Well, it must be classified as top secret, and the fewer people who know it, the better."

Others also nodded. The current Fuyun Group holds a lot of high technology in its hands, plus various foreign policies, etc., and the interests are very important, so it has classified various internal information , Many secrets are only known to a few people.

Even the company's CEO Fang Zheng has no right to access the secrets of science and technology. The strict separation system between administration and scientific research is implemented, not only these secrets, but non-scientific personnel in the company cannot enter the scientific research center at all. The purpose of all this Naturally, it is to protect the company's technology.

Having made a decision, Li Fu first suspended the Sky City project and led the team to prepare for the research of the laser weapon first.

The question of why lasers can be used as weapons must have confused many people.Many times when we are attracted by the amazing ability and dazzling appearance of something, it is easy to lose sight of the most basic "why".

In essence, a laser is a light source just like ordinary light.To understand how a laser becomes an aggressive sword in the human hand, it is first necessary to understand how it differs from the light sources of everyday life.

Let's start with the all-too-familiar incandescent lamp, which emits light that scatters in all directions, like ripples on the surface of water, with "peaks" and "troughs," or highs and lows.

Assuming our eyes are capable of detecting every single ray of an incandescent lamp, you'll see plenty of "peaks" and "troughs" passing you by.They actually have different frequencies and different colors, but when mixed together, they appear as white as the sun we see with the naked eye.

Next, let us recall the "household appliance" commonly used before the 90s-the flashlight.Is the light emitted by the flashlight more concentrated than the light emitted by the unshaded incandescent lamp? According to the direction of the flashlight in hand, most of the light is concentrated in the same direction.However, these relatively concentrated rays still have different frequencies, and they also appear white due to the mixture of multiple colors.

Compared with the light of incandescent lamps and flashlights, the concentration of laser light is much higher, and its light has the same wavelength and single color.The peaks and troughs of the laser light waves represent a synchronized wave, which means that different light waves can run in parallel without interfering with each other.

This light is emitted in only one direction, so it can be tightly packed and remain concentrated after traveling great distances.Lasers can produce beams of extremely high energy, which are 1000-1 times more powerful than ordinary incandescent light.

Different lasers can produce light with different wavelengths, from infrared to visible to ultraviolet.It is now known that light is actually a moving energy.Since the laser can generate very dense energy and can be transmitted with little loss in long-distance transmission, it can project a large amount of energy to long-distance objects.This is why lasers can be lethal weapons while incandescent light cannot.

However, for laser light to be produced, its light delivery requires an unconventional method.The English name of laser is LASER, that is, laser, and its name is composed of the English initials of "radiation produced by stimulated emission of light amplification". The name has fully expressed the main process of manufacturing laser.In other words, lasers emit light by stimulating the release of photons, or particles of light.

To complete the above process, the laser needs the following four basic elements: optical medium, a source of atoms that can release special wavelengths after being excited, this medium can be gas, liquid or solid; energy source, mobilize and pump these atoms, Make it in an excited state in the laser medium; reflective mirror, a complete mirror and a half-silvered mirror, they can make the emitted light rebound repeatedly in the resonant cavity of the laser medium, and finally escape; lens, large Some laser emitting devices have some kind of lens to focus the beam.

"The essence of laser is actually a process of energy storage and energy release. Because of the particularity of light, what we have to do is to concentrate as much energy as possible on one point and then release it. This is the power of laser. Nature."

Fuyun Group is located in a certain laboratory of the research institute in Yuantou Town, which has just been put into use not long ago. Li Fu in a white coat is facing a huge monitor with his back, and the working principle of laser weapons is being demonstrated on the monitor.

While explaining, Li Fu manipulated his virtual machine to draw different things on the monitor. The seeds of super civilization contain a lot of scientific knowledge and technology about energy weapons. What Li Fu just said is not just about laser weapons. The essence is the essence of energy weapons.

All energy weapons in the entire universe cannot escape this principle by accumulating huge amounts of energy, compressing the energy, and finally releasing all the energy at one point.

"At present, the most important lasers on the earth are as follows: solid-state lasers. The laser medium of solid-state lasers is a solid crystal, such as the famous ruby ​​laser or yttrium aluminum garnet laser, which can release light waves with a wavelength of 1.06 microns."

"Gas lasers, gas lasers consist of a gas or a mixture of multiple gases to form a laser medium. Such lasers include helium-neon lasers or carbon dioxide lasers, which can release light waves (infrared rays) with a wavelength of 10.6 microns."

"Excimer laser, the laser medium of excimer laser is a mixture of various active gases such as chlorine, fluorine and various inert gases such as argon and krypton. The argon-fluorine laser can release 193 nanometer ultraviolet light waves."

"Dye laser, as the name suggests, the laser medium of the dye laser is composed of fluorescent dyes, such as rhodamine. This kind of laser can tune out light waves of different wavelengths within a certain range. The wavelength released by the rhodamine 6G dye laser is generally in the range of 570- 650 nanometers."

"The carbon dioxide laser, this kind of laser is quite special because it is a powerful infrared laser developed by the military of various countries. It can be used to cut metal, and it is also the most likely to be used to develop laser weapons at present."

On the huge monitor, pictures flashed one after another, and these pictures explained in detail the working principles of various lasers and the laser light waves that can be generated, etc.

"In fact, there is another kind called free electron laser. There are many types of these lasers, but they can be divided into two types in essence, the principle of physical laser and the principle of chemical laser."

With the seeds of super civilization, Li Fu can do everything from a high position. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Li Fu often gives lectures to the scientific researchers of his company, so the scientific researchers of the company make progress very quickly. Liang, Chen Bin and others will not be awarded the title of academician of Huaxia at a young age.

"Brother Fu, I understand. We want to develop laser weapons. In fact, no matter what method and method we use, we are actually storing energy, compressing energy, and releasing energy. As long as we can do these three steps well, the laser Weapons are nothing more than very simple things."

A researcher of the Fuyun Group listened carefully to Li Fu's lecture, and kept thinking in his mind. At this time, a person with a very handsome appearance and fair complexion like a Caucasian stood up. His name was Bai Cai. He is an out-and-out man, but he is very handsome and very white, so everyone likes to call him "Little Cabbage".

Although he has the nickname of "Little Cabbage", Bai Cai is a genius. A top student who graduated from Yanhuang University, he can quickly stand out in the talented research institute. He grew up very fast by Li Fu's side. Now everyone Already one of the core personnel in the company's research institute.

"Xiao Baicai is right. We just need to grasp the essence of laser weapons and find ways to work hard in the three directions of energy storage, energy compression, and energy release. In fact, laser weapons can't help us at all."

Li Fu nodded. The core of energy weapons is actually so simple. The key is to what extent it can be achieved. Once an advanced civilization fires an energy weapon, it is very simple to destroy the planet.
