Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

At some point, Director Sun and the others walked into the command center and were the first to give warm applause.

Then came the thunderous applause from the entire command center.

After that, the entire live broadcast ended without warning.

Suddenly it switched back to the studio of the Technology Channel.

The host smiled and said: "The capture work has been successfully completed. Thank you for your patience. After Dongfanghong 1 returns, it will be displayed in the museum. For specific arrangements, you can pay attention to the news."

The atmosphere in the studio suddenly became festive, and New Year pictures of the twelve zodiac animals appeared.

"The slow live broadcast of Nantianmen will resume tomorrow, and there will be a wonderful performance with the theme of the twelve zodiac animals, which is not to be missed."

Looking at the constantly changing zodiac signs, it feels like it’s time to celebrate the New Year. It suddenly changed from high-tech to such a style.

Many people were stunned.

ah? Gone?

No, what about that white capsule-type device? Please explain!

Especially those analysts from various countries feel the same as Cat's Claw.

Leader Zhou! You still treat us as outsiders!

But this is what Zhou Rui wants.

A glimpse, then no news, the rest is up to you to guess.

A team of experts from NASA in the Pentagon gathered together with military analysts, frowning.

"The progress was so fast. Within a few months, we went from meltdown capture to complete capture."

"This means that the data and technical secrets stored in any satellite are no longer safe."

"They probably won't touch civilian satellites. They will probably target our 'cheap dish satellites' and 'reconnaissance satellites.' This is simply shameless and despicable! This is an evil destruction of global order!"

"There is also a capsule-type unknown device. That shape is obviously designed to break through the atmosphere! It is probably a weapons test."

Not to mention 'Heaven's Gate', what's the difference between this and a spaceship?

Suddenly, a senior general turned his head and said to NASA Director Nelson: "Nielsen, why are we so far behind! Have you used all the funds you receive every year to buy coffee?!"

Nelson did not panic at all: "At least we definitely didn't use it to buy goats, and I want to remind the general that NASA's funding is less than 3% of military spending."

Ruanruan poked at the other party, and Nielsen changed the subject: "However, in recent years, our pressure has indeed increased, especially after the emergence of 'Tai Yi Gong' this year, I have submitted a new funding application."

"If we fail to increase investment in aerospace, this gap will be irreversible."

The general frowned and said: "Just relying on that 'Eye of Artemis'? A simple unmanned probe on the moon? The other party can already drive a ship and play Pac-Man above the orbit! You are wasting your time. !”

Hansen, the person in charge of "Artemis Eye", who was also sitting inside, wanted to say something, but Nelson quietly held down his legs under the table.

"Aerospace projects are not pasted plywood, and the response is not that fast. If you want a comparable project, the best time is to start it ten years ago instead of now. In fact, this is caused by years of insufficient investment in the aerospace field."

He may not be a scientist, but he is really an "American-style director". No matter what topic, he can always lead to the word "funding".

Slow? Then you can choose to add money.

Isn’t it okay to pay more? That means not enough is added!

But the Pentagon is beyond its capabilities

Stimulated by the "Crystal Fangs", it has been almost two years since the F22 production line was restarted, and tens of billions of dollars have been invested.

Not even a pack of nuts in sight so far.

There is also the B21 bomber that is targeting the "Kunpeng", which has just begun.

Yes, they can print U.S. dollars at will, but this right is not in their hands.

It’s not even in the hands of the United States. The Federal Reserve is a private central bank.

The discussion on the capture of "Heaven's Gate" and "Satellite" obviously will not end so soon. After the verbal exchanges, there are still suppressed discussions and enlarged meetings.

But what they didn’t know was that after the live broadcast ended, the excitement continued.

——————

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the central region, is a military training ground.

At this time, the wasteland is covered with various target facilities.

Scrapped tanks, fortifications, dummies, only the air defense system is real.

A dynamic cluster with the most advanced positional air defense weapons is simulated here.

All personnel retreated several kilometers away. Many observers held telescopes and more than a dozen cameras took pictures without blind spots.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle from the sky, and streaks of flames with long tail flames fell from the sky.

It was completely different from the capture device that fell at Jiuquan a few minutes ago. The speed of this thing was ridiculously fast, as if it didn't slow down at all.

The weirdest thing is that it has a mirror-like shell on its surface. Anyone who is familiar with the armament plans in recent years knows that this is the "four-image stealth technology."

China's radar technology has always been at the forefront, and land-based air defense is also a strong point, but at this time, everything is powerless.

The "four-image stealth" makes it impossible for radar to lock on, and the almost 90° direct insertion angle also makes all visual targeting systems powerless.

Obviously, dropping bombs from space is a good option, but it's a bit rigid.

As a test, this special return capsule built by Zhou Rui has a wide range of applications. The things tested this time were specially made a little fancy.

During the rapid fall, the capsule-shaped return capsule suddenly opened from the middle, and more than forty strange-looking drones flew out.

The fixed-wing shape and compact fuselage make them not afraid of the turbulence when leaving the warehouse. After a brief confusion, they immediately adjust their posture and go vertically downward.

The first thing to land was the return capsule itself, which directly exploded with a huge explosion, setting off a shock wave in the center of the position.

The return capsule itself was not very powerful, and could not compare with heavy aerial bombs of the same size. But the more than forty fixed-wing drones were different. They selected their own targets and launched suicide attacks like swarms. .

Pick up the biggest one and beat it.

After the intensive explosions, the observer on the observation deck held up his telescope and said, "What is the difference between this and a cluster bomb?"

The weapons expert on the side looked at the information in his hand and said: "First of all, the breakthrough capability has been qualitatively improved. No matter how powerful the bomb is, it will be 'zero' when it is intercepted. Let's put it this way, with the current technology, when it falls from the orbit , there is no such thing as "defense", and cluster bombs do not have such high tracking capabilities. "

"Secondly, the cost is low. Although it requires borrowing an orbital platform, the cluster bomb itself is expensive and requires bombers to drop it. Bomber breakout, airport construction, and early mobilization must be considered. The additional deployment cost is dozens of times the bomb itself."

"Finally, the response speed is fast, and the attack scope covers half of the earth. If there are multiple platforms in different orbits to support it, it will be easy to cover the whole world. In the future, we may not have the concept of 'out of reach'."

After a while, a person in the corner added:

"By the way, one more thing. Cluster bombs violate international conventions. This does not violate it."

The corners of everyone's mouths unconsciously twitched.

Good guy. What you said makes sense.
