Chapter 298 Low-Earth Orbit Armed Defense Platform

After Tang Rui strengthened the two core components, he returned to the laboratory to continue assembling the equipment to accumulate sources.

As long as he has the source point in his hand, he will not panic.

No matter how big the problem is, there is a system to cover it, so there is no need to be afraid.

the next day.

On the Mogadishu side, the heads of the aerospace departments of various countries around the world, as well as some academies of sciences, were ushered in.

They're here to watch the space elevator go.

There are even many people who want to be the first passengers to take the space elevator.

Unfortunately, none of them had a chance.

The first batch of people to take the space elevator has been selected, that is, the six domestic astronauts.

They are not only the first batch of passengers, but also the staff of the future airport space station.

After a simple ceremony.

Astronauts board the space elevator, sit in safety seats inside, and wait for the elevator to start.

"Bah..."

With the closing of the airtight door, the countdown starts.

When the countdown reaches zero.

The person in charge in the control hall presses the start button.

The four electric propulsion engines start.

The space elevator, fixed on eight cables, takes off directly and climbs upwards.

At this moment, the several astronauts inside only felt the seat below shake, and then returned to stability.

There was no sustained vibration.

And the acceleration is not very fast, basically within 2 G, even if you are not a professional astronaut, there will be no problem unless you have high blood pressure or heart disease.

soon.

The space elevator rises to the Karman line.

Arriving here, the cabin is in a state of weightlessness, and at the same time the space elevator starts to accelerate again.

Acceleration was not performed before, mainly due to air resistance.

A square space elevator wants to rise at supersonic speed, how much thrust is needed, and how much air resistance is required.

Totally unnecessary.

The distance of 100 kilometers in front is basically a sightseeing elevator, and the electric push engine does not really work.

After coming to outer space, there is no air resistance, and the electric propulsion engine starts to increase power.

But in order to ensure the comfort of the passengers in the cabin.

The acceleration is not increased in an instant, but slowly, so that the cabin is always kept in a 2-3G environment.

In this way, the speed can be increased and the comfort can be guaranteed, so that ordinary people can also take the space elevator to outer space.

Forty minutes later.

The space elevator arrived at the location of the airport space station and slowly docked. Several astronauts inside walked out of the cabin in spacesuits and entered the aisle connected to the space station.

"Report, we have arrived at the airport and everything is going well."

"Okay, the space station components have been launched and are expected to arrive in twenty minutes."

"clear."

Below the space elevator, representatives from various countries were very excited.

The space elevator test run was perfect.

The next thing is to speed up the construction and build the spaceship in outer space of the earth at the same time.

The specific situation has already been discussed in various countries.

Even the operation plan for the unbuilt space elevator has been drawn up.

Just follow this plan.

within ten months.

They can build a spaceship and escape from the earth.

After a while.

Representatives from various countries watched the assembly of the airport space station and the spacewalk of several astronauts on the ground.

Although the space station can automatically dock to form a circle.

However, some devices still need to be connected manually.

But these are small things.

Everyone's most critical problem of nodding in space has been solved, and the rest is up to them.

The production drawings of the life support cabin have been made public all over the world.

All countries are insane, 24-hour non-stop manufacturing.

Even so, countries are still constantly transforming factories and continuing to expand production lines.

As for the spaceship, they don't need to make the core components, but other accessories do.

Therefore, during this period of time, all countries have focused their energy on industrial upgrading. In order to manufacture spacecraft accessories, no country will have reservations.

None of us need help or supervision.

As long as they are given relevant production materials and some equipment that they cannot manufacture, the rest do not need to be supervised, and they will work hard.

next month.

With global cooperation, eight space elevators have been put into use one after another.

The materials distributed by various countries are also sent to Mogadishu by freighter, and then sent to outer space by space elevator.

Tang Rui didn't care about these things.

He also tinkered with a lot of things during this month.

Some have been sneakily launched, some have been built but not launched, and some haven't even been built yet.

But there is one thing that was just made today.

That is the Earth Orbit Armed Defense Platform.

The previous researcher's design was rejected by him, saying that the firepower was insufficient, so half a month ago, they submitted a brand new design, this time the firepower was very good.

An electromagnetic orbital main gun with a caliber of 2560 and a length of 680 meters can also extend the electromagnetic channel through the magnetic control system.

The shells fired are also specially made nuclear shells.

A shell weighs more than 25 tons.

In normal mode, the ejection speed of the cannon is 3000 kilometers per second. In special cases, the destruction mode can be used to increase the speed by three times, but the cost is the damage of the main gun.

Such a shell was fired.

If it falls on the earth, it will really have the same effect as in the movie, a city will be instantly reduced to ruins.

But this main gun is for external defense, so don't worry about its muzzle facing the earth.

But if the operation is wrong, or the system is wrong, it’s hard to say. After all, the smarter things are, the more troublesome it is to fix problems.

In addition to this main gun, there are more than two hundred long-range, medium-range and short-range weapons.

Including Electromagnetic Cannon, Laser Cannon, Plasma Cannon, Near Defense Cannon and so on.

In addition to these artillery, there are various missiles.

However, missiles are useful in special circumstances. In most cases, missiles are basically just a decoration in outer space.

Inside the entire armed defense platform, there is also an ammunition production line that can produce ammunition for electromagnetic guns and near-anti-aircraft guns.

Although it is impossible to achieve complete self-sufficiency, as long as there is a stock of raw materials, weapons and ammunition basically do not need to be replenished from the ground.

buzz buzz...

The new production hall dome opens.

The armed defense platforms that have been disassembled one by one in the city are assembled by aircraft one by one and transported to outer space.

The reason why Tang Rui built it at this time was not for fun, but to deal with the upcoming asteroid and meteorite rain.

The gravitational force of black dwarfs has long affected the solar system.

It's just that it doesn't have an impact on large-mass planets yet, but the impact on the asteroid belt is very huge.

According to scans by space telescopes.

In the asteroid belt outside the solar system, an unknown number of asteroids have already de-orbited and are currently heading towards the inner solar system.

Among them, the orbits of several asteroids overlap with the orbit of the earth, and the fastest one will come outside the earth in 20 days.

So in the next period of time, outer space will not be peaceful.

In previous years, only a few meteor showers can be enjoyed.

This year everyone can see enough.

after an hour.

The low-Earth orbit armed defense platform, spliced ​​​​in outer space, looks like a tack.

After all, the barrel of the main gun is too long.

The lower base needs to install a production line, and the outer ring needs to be a pseudo-gravity living area, so it can only come up with such a shape.
