Chapter 103 Space kinetic energy weapon

"How to do it?"

"This is an alien's kinetic energy weapon! Even if it is a super hydrogen bomb, there is no way to do it!"

"Even if the asteroid striker is built, it can only slightly change the orbit of the God of Death. It is almost impossible to capture it!" said the experts.

"It's still possible." Du Xingyu became serious. "Asteroid Impactor still needs to be built. Strictly speaking, the asteroid Impactor is also a space kinetic energy weapon, the same as the God of Death."

"But we cannot create a massive kinetic weapon like the God of Death, so we need to build multiple asteroid impactors to force the God of Death to slow down and change the direction of movement."

"Now that you have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, it is possible. But, how do we capture the Death Star?" someone asked.

"This is where the plan needs to be modified." Du Xingyu used a technology simulator to simulate hundreds of times before the meeting and came up with a feasible plan.

"Our original plan was to use an asteroid impactor near the orbit of Mars to force the God of Death to change the direction of movement. Now we need to extend the defense line to the orbit of Jupiter!"

"Use Jupiter's gravity to control the Death Star?" Astronomers soon guessed his idea.

Jupiter is the largest and fastest-rotating gas giant planet in the solar system. The fifth farther away from the sun occupies 70% of the planets in the solar system!

Moreover, Jupiter's gravity is 2.5 times that of the Earth. Many asteroids will be pulled by Jupiter's gravity before flying to Earth and then swallowed it! During the formation of the Earth, Jupiter blocked meteorites, comets and asteroids for the Earth many times.

"Yes." Du Xingyu said, "It is indeed difficult to capture the God of Death by our technology alone. But we can change the orbit of the God of Death through the asteroid impactor, so that it can use Jupiter's gravity to capture it when it flies into the orbit of Jupiter and become a moon of Jupiter."

"In this way, our spacecraft or space warship can go to the God of Death to study, and at the same time, it can also solve the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death to the God of Death."

"The premise of all this is that the kinetic energy weapon of the God of Death is indeed dormant. Moreover, alien civilizations will not interfere with our movements." Someone said.

"This is also our temptation." Du Xingyu also thought of this problem. "If our plan can go smoothly, it means that our enemies are not willing or do not have the ability to project more powerful armed forces to come to Earth."

"Even if we cannot capture the God of Death, we can use the asteroid impactor to knock the God of Death into Jupiter! Destroy it directly! This can minimize the risk of its impact on the earth!"

"I agree!"

“I support it too!”

"At present, this plan is indeed better than before. If it goes well, we can get more information about potential enemies - but the average distance between Jupiter and Earth is 780 million kilometers. This means that our asteroid impactor will be launched to a place 780 million kilometers away and accurately impact it!"

"Not only does the momentum need to be met, but the time must be at least four and a half years ahead of the previous plan. Is it too late?" Someone worried.

"If all parties cooperate fully, there will still be a chance." Du Xingyu had calculated a long time ago, and he said: "Under ideal conditions, we still have eight years to complete the manufacturing of space warships and asteroid impactors."

After the meeting, the Human Guardian Alliance readjusted its crisis response plan. For the outside world, they did not announce the news that the alien civilizations were found on the planet of Death.

All parties agreed that since all mankind has united and has just achieved some results, there is no need to create panic now.

Because of this, cooperation between all parties has become closer.

...

Du Xingyu has more things to do, and the plans for space defense and solar system satellite networks have been further advanced. New detection satellites fly to areas further away from the solar system to find traces of enemies.

And he himself is the main designer of space warships and asteroid impactors, and his work is heavy.

"Asteroid Impactors are space kinetic energy weapons, and their structure is not complicated. The main difficulty lies in high-power nuclear fusion thrusters." Du Xingyu thought carefully, "That is to say, as long as the design of the ultra-high-power nuclear fusion thruster can be completed, the asteroid Impactor can be manufactured."

"As a kinetic energy weapon, its mass must be large. The ideal state is to be made of large-mass metal creations. Prepare the shell first."

Du Xingyu first arranged an asteroid impactor project, and he planned to use space elevators and spacecraft to transport supplies to the moon.

The "main" of asteroid impactors is produced in the newly built space weapons factory on the moon, a giant, solid chunk of metal.

In terms of thrusters, Du Xingyu plans to study them with the thrusters of space warships.

Since it is a space warship, its kinetic energy must be much stronger than existing spacecraft, so a brand new nuclear fusion thruster is also needed.

On the technology simulator, Du Xingyu opened a brand new technology branch - space warship.

"There has been consumed 10 million energy points to open the branch." The technology simulator prompted.

Under the branch, Du Xingyu could see many dim images, various space warships, and they were divided into various levels.

Planetary rating: Space warships with ability to strike and fly within a single star system.

Star rating: Space warships with strike and flight capabilities in one and multiple star systems.

Galaxy-level: A space warship with strike and flight capabilities within a river galaxy.

...

Each level of space warships is divided into many types.

The explanation of the technology simulator is: "Space warships do not have a real standard level division, so they can only be roughly estimated. The nuclear fusion-powered warships you can develop now are all planetary warships. Even if they are planetary warships, there is a huge gap because of the differences in power, weapons and other technological equipment."

Du Xingyu clicked on the planetary warship and continued to watch.

The warships here also have countless sub-branches, such as planetary cruisers, planetary battleships, planetary supply ships, planetary destroyers, planetary work ships, planetary supply ships, planetary landing ships... and the top existence among planetary warships - planetary star destroyers!

The so-called star destroyer is the combat power of a warship that can destroy a planet!

Of course, humans do not have the ability to manufacture this super warship yet.

Du Xingyu's heart was full of longing. Only with such a space fleet can humans take the first step of star civilization!

The previous rockets, spacecraft, space stations, space elevators, etc. were all small-scale fights, and in the final analysis, they were still playing near the earth.

"The first R&D goal is to choose the first generation of planetary cruise ships!" Du Xingyu quickly set the goal.

Planetary cruisers, with sufficient power, will have the ability to freely enter the atmosphere, which is very suitable for construction on Earth.

Secondly, although its firepower is not as high as that of the battleship, it is faster and more suitable to go deeper in the solar system to find the earth and deal with the Death Star.

The capacity of the cruise ship is also excellent enough.

It is also the most standardized combat power among planetary space warships. Du Xingyu wanted to build a more powerful warship, but humans do not have the industrial level and technological strength yet, so they can only start with standard warships.

Technology Simulator: "Does 10 million energy be consumed to start the simulation of planetary cruisers?"

Du Xingyu: "Confirm!"

Technology Simulator: "Star-level cruise ship simulation has been started!"

From Du Xingyu's perspective, various planetary cruiser models and custom model groups have appeared.

Among them, there are three main models recommended by the technology simulator.

The first is a torpedo-shaped cruiser. This cruiser is closer to a rocket and its thruster is at the tail. This one is more convenient to manufacture and is easier to enter and exit the atmosphere.

The second type is a flat cruiser with an upper surface area close to an isosceles triangle. It looks like a sharp arrow, and the overall design is more technological.

The third type is the shape of a flying saucer, just like a UFO that appears in a science fiction movie.

The three shapes have their pros and cons, and Du Xingyu can also choose other simulation directions.

Given that this is the first research and development, not only him, but also has limited manufacturing experience in humans, Du Xingyu chose the second model recommended by the simulator, an arrow-shaped space warship.

"The estimated length of the warship is 788 meters, the maximum hull width is 345 meters, and the total mass is more than 30,000 tons..." Du Xingyu began to plan the overall model.

Judging from the appearance, this first-generation planetary cruiser is three times larger than the largest Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States, but its total mass is much smaller.

In order to consider the issue of atmospheric flight, planetary cruisers must fully adopt new carbon fiber and nanomaterials to reduce the mass of the hull so that the thruster can push it out of the atmosphere and escape from planetary gravity.

"There are many problems with the design of the hull. What is even more difficult is the nuclear fusion propeller of the space warship and the design of space weapons..." Du Xingyu discovered that even if he could obtain a lot of information and help, this thing was not something he could develop in a few months.

The most suitable way is to work with top experts around the world to give advice, use technology simulators to overcome difficulties and eliminate unsuitable solutions.

The world's top military weapons experts, engineers, and the most powerful aircraft carrier designers from several major powers were summoned to China to start a new project - the research and development of the "Blade Wing" planetary space cruise ship.

"Materials and structure are the first step that the team needs to consider." Du Xingyu said at the meeting of the core members of the project team, "As for space weapons and nuclear fusion thrusters, I personally participate! I hope everyone can do their best to come up with a plan in the shortest time!"
