Six Hundred and Twenty Design Flaws

Brother Yi's question stumped Qiu Tianning, he sighed helplessly: "To tell you the truth, we can't think of any other way.

"It would be great if we could catch an alien." The expert said, "Let's also study the genes of aliens and create some genetic viruses."

The first brother almost lost his temper: "Even if we also hold the genetic virus of aliens in our hands, how can we still go to threaten the aliens, saying that if you dare to release the genetic virus, we will release it, so that they will not dare to release the virus?" ?”

"I mean, spread this base virus on the earth." The expert said indifferently.

"That's useless, it's just that the aliens are so great." The first brother knocked on the table dissatisfied, "From now on, don't mention this kind of taken-for-granted approach, what are you shouting for, laymen don't speak insider jargon .”

This sentence came out of Brother Yi's mouth, and it was already a very serious sentence. Even if that expert didn't understand the world, he knew that he had said something wrong.

The first brother can see that this expert has a certain understanding of the global political situation, but his understanding is only superficial. He probably knows that thanks to the check and balance of nuclear forces, the world can generally maintain a peaceful situation after World War II, so he came up with the following Virus-making-virus scheme.

If aliens are also on the earth, this plan may really be possible. The problem is that the aliens are far away from Jupiter, which is far away from the earth. Maybe the gene virus targeting aliens has not yet been sent to Jupiter. Zero, human beings have been extinct by the genetic virus that was dropped on the earth.

Taking a step back, is it difficult to research an antidote against a genetic virus with the ability of aliens?

The expert closed his mouth resentfully, and the first brother looked at Qiu Tianning: "Since we talked about the expedition plan, I also want to ask one more question, what does the military mean? Continue to implement the expedition plan or something."

Qiu Tianning said: "We believe that it is necessary to continue to implement the expedition plan."

"Tell me your reasons."

"The best defense is offense." Qiu Tianning said, "It's not that I'm being discouraged. No matter how you look at it, there is a big gap between us and the aliens. To put it simply, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build." , don’t say anything else, let’s just talk about the Beiyuezhou base, how much manpower and material resources did it take from scratch to now?”

"Once the aliens come over, it is likely to consume all the achievements of our efforts for several years in a day or two. This is not a loss on the earth. On the contrary, although the investment in continuing to implement the expedition plan is very high, But it’s much better than Beiyuezhou and Earth being in a mess.”

"So I think the advantages of continuing to implement the expedition plan outweigh the disadvantages. Even if it only slows down the hands and feet of aliens, we are still making money."

The first brother couldn't help sighing: "Fly to Jupiter in one year, and the whole army will be wiped out in half a day. This is a difficult decision!"

Qiu Tianning pursed his lips: "If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. Even if you keep it, you shouldn't keep guarding the Earth-Moon Element. It's best to go out."

"Where are you going?"

"It's still Jupiter." Qiu Tianning said, "The general staff has discussed this issue and thinks that a permanent base can be established near Jupiter by referring to the Beiyuezhou model."

"Are you kidding me? Just after taking Beiyuezhou, you hit Jupiter's idea? That's Jupiter, with such a big step, you are not afraid of talking about it?"

"The steps are a bit big, but it is necessary to do so." Qiu Tianning said very seriously.

The military once considered establishing a permanent base in the asteroid belt to serve as a bridgehead for humans to attack Jupiter, but although the idea was good, there were no conditions for its realization.

Ceres in the asteroid belt has water resources, and it is the only celestial body suitable for building a base. However, Ceres has its own orbit, and it is impossible to keep up with Jupiter all the time. If you build a base on Ceres, you will lose the strategic significance of advancing the base.

The only celestial bodies that can keep up with Jupiter are the satellites of Jupiter, but that is now the sphere of influence of aliens. Even if humans send hundreds of warships, they may not be able to snatch a suitable satellite from aliens. No matter how you look at it, this plan is crazy.

The first brother thought for a moment and said: "This plan has been put on hold for now.

Has the combat data analysis of the expeditionary fleet been completed? Tell me about the lessons learned. "

"We have summed up a few main experiences. First, warships are not as good as fighter planes. Although fighter planes have not played an important role, from the analysis of the battle process, the space carrier should have stronger combat effectiveness than pure battleships. Therefore, it is recommended that Beiyuezhou stop construction. 011 and 024 levels, fully build the space carrier."

"Similar to an aircraft carrier?"

"No, similar to the Kyiv class of the former Soviet Union, the carrier-based aircraft is the main combat force, but there are also a lot of weapons and equipment on board. If there is an accidental encounter with aliens, the naval gun battle can also be used to fight for the launch of the carrier-based aircraft. time."

"continue."

"Secondly, the missiles are too heavy and too large. We need lighter and faster missiles. The fuel does not need to be much, but they must have the ability to ignite in stages. In addition, conventional missiles are basically useless except for attracting firepower. It is recommended to vigorously develop the space version. Nuclear missiles, preferably all missiles with nuclear warheads."

"This is up to your military to decide, and equip the fleet as it needs."

"The other is that the structure of the warship is unreasonable and needs to be redesigned and modified. The existing 011 and 024-class warships also need to be returned to the factory for overhaul if necessary."

The first brother pricked up his ears when he heard it: "How do you say it? Tell me carefully."

He doesn't understand aerospace, but he knows that warships are the foundation of everything. As the head of state, it is necessary to understand this aspect in detail.

Qiu Tianning considered for a while and said, "The previous battleship design schemes were all very traditional rear-engine schemes, that is, placing the engine behind the battleship's buttocks."

"What's wrong with this design? Aren't spaceships and rockets designed this way?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not suitable for space battleships." Qiu Tianning said, "There is no gravity in space, so acceleration and deceleration are equally important. There is no problem when the engine is behind the acceleration. When decelerating, unless the buttocks rush forward, the deceleration is very troublesome. Expeditionary fleets will suffer." A big loss in this regard.”

Brother Yi thought of space battleships in many sci-fi movies: "Where do you put the engine behind the butt? Add a set of propellers to the head?"

"That's what I thought at the beginning, but I found out after asking a professional that there is no need to make it so complicated. The easiest way is to design a pair of short wings for a warship that can turn 180 degrees, like a bomber or an airliner. The engines are installed under the wings, and by flipping the wings, only one pair of engines is needed to switch between acceleration and deceleration by adjusting the direction of the propellers, and a larger flip angle can also take care of ascending and descending, and even the attitude engine is saved.”

The first brother suddenly realized, and uttered a sentence: "Change, change everything that should be changed, and we must never let our soldiers sacrifice on design flaws!" (To be continued...)
