I have a little black hole

Deep Space Laboratory also has a deep accumulation in the field of optics. Like Xiong Antai, Zhang Hanxiu also considered the issue of space weapons. His idea is laser weapons. Whether in science fiction movies or in reality, laser weapons are big killers. .

"Like the boss's electromagnetic rail gun, laser weapons can also be classified as energy weapons, and our company's technical advantage is that it has a nuclear fusion reactor that can provide stable and sustainable energy.

And our company also has a very outstanding performance in the field of materials science. We are leading the world in materials such as superconducting materials and high-energy batteries, which provides a solid foundation for our agreement on the development of laser weapons!

Because laser weapons do not have various restrictions in the atmospheric environment in space, there is no embarrassing situation that they can only be used on the earth and can not carry out all-weather operations. They can launch attacks at any time!

'Origin', let us briefly introduce the relevant situation of laser weapons!Zhang Hanxiu started to be lazy again while continuing to introduce.

His words also made everyone laugh, this guy is so lazy and arrogant,'origin' as the company's artificial intelligence, in charge of the company's large number of tasks.

Like the company’s various meeting records and related paperwork, it is done by it. When the meeting encountered various company-related problems, everyone will call it to introduce it to everyone when it is unclear. Zhang Hanxiu The task given to it is too simple for it, so of course it will not refuse such a job.

"Okay Director Zhang! The science mission started.

Laser weapons (English: LaserWeapon) are weapons that use high-energy lasers to accurately shoot long-range targets or to defend against missiles. They are divided into two types: tactical laser weapons (THEL) and strategic laser weapons.

It has fast, flexible, precise and anti-electromagnetic interference and other excellent performance, and can play a unique role in photoelectric countermeasures, air defense and strategic defense.

The disadvantage of laser weapons is that they cannot be operated in all weather, limited by heavy fog, heavy snow, and heavy rain, and the laser launch system is a precision optical system, and it is also seriously affected by the atmosphere, such as the absorption of energy by the atmosphere, energy attenuation caused by atmospheric disturbance, and thermal halo. Effects, turbulence, and attenuation due to beam jitter.

Because laser weapons require a large amount of electrical energy, it is difficult to achieve large-scale applications until the problem of energy storage devices that are difficult to miniaturize (such as high-energy batteries) is resolved.

Of course, the above two problems are just like what Director Zhang said, they basically have no impact on the laser weapons that our company will develop.

Because our company's requirements for laser weapons are to be used in space operations, that is, they are inclined to strategic laser weapons, and there are no such interference systems in space.

As long as our company's nuclear fusion reactor technology goes one step further, it can be miniaturized and mobile. After the energy problem is not a problem, our company's high-energy battery level can also initially support strategic laser weapons.

The so-called tactical laser weapon uses laser as energy, directly kills enemy personnel, destroys tanks and aircraft like conventional weapons, and the strike distance is generally up to 20 kilometers.The main representatives of this weapon are laser guns and laser guns, which can emit a strong laser beam to attack the enemy.

The strategic laser weapon is a laser weapon used to attack strategic missiles or satellites, with a range of hundreds to thousands of kilometers and a laser power of more than 10 million watts. This is the direction of our company’s research and development, as large as the universe. Under the environment, the range and power of laser weapons are as high as possible!

If it can be developed like the main laser weapon of the death star in the Star Wars movie, then our company can have enough confidence when facing danger!

There are two aspects of laser destroying targets: one is perforation and the other is spallation.

The so-called perforation is that the laser beam of high power density melts the surface of the target material sharply, and then vaporizes and evaporates, the vaporized substance is sprayed outward, the recoil force forms a shock wave, and a hole is penetrated in the target material.

The so-called spallation is that after the target surface absorbs the laser energy, the atoms are ionized, forming a plasma "cloud".The "cloud" expands outward to form a stress wave that propagates deep.The reflection of the stress wave causes the target material to be broken, resulting in "lamellar" damage.

In addition, plasma "clouds" can also radiate ultraviolet or X-rays, destroying target structures and electronic components.

The destruction mechanism of laser weapons is:

1. Thermal damage.When the target is irradiated with a strong laser, the surface material absorbs heat and is heated, producing softening, melting, and vaporization until ionization. When the deep temperature of the target material is higher than the surface temperature to accelerate the vaporization, the internal pressure increases and an explosion occurs.

2. Mechanical destruction.When the plasma irradiated by the laser produces vaporization and ionization, the plasma is ejected at high speed, and the resulting recoil force will deform and break the target.

3. Radiation damage.Plasma can radiate ultraviolet or X-rays, destroying electronic components inside the target.

The characteristics of laser weapons are: energy concentration, fast transmission speed, high hit accuracy, fast transfer of firepower, anti-electromagnetic interference, repeated use many times, and high operational efficiency.

Laser weapons are mainly composed of lasers that produce light sources and beam directors that have tracking, aiming, and launching functions.

The energy of highly concentrated laser is also very concentrated.For example, in our daily life we ​​think that the sun is very bright, but the laser light emitted by a giant pulsed ruby ​​laser is 20 billion times brighter than the sun.

Of course, the laser is brighter than the sun, not because its total energy is greater than the sun, but because its energy is very concentrated.For example, the laser beam emitted by the ruby ​​laser can penetrate a 3 cm thick steel plate, but the total energy is not enough to cook an egg.

Lasers have many unique advantages as weapons.First, it can fly at the speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second, no weapon has such a high speed.Once it takes aim, it hardly takes any time to hit the target immediately, without thinking about advance.

In addition, it can concentrate more than one million times the energy of nuclear weapons in a very small area and in a very short time, and it can change directions flexibly without any radioactive pollution.

With so many advantages, I think Director Zhang’s suggestion is correct!

However, its research and development tasks will not be easy. The charging speed determines the firing speed of laser weapons. The high-temperature resistant materials determine the number of firings of the barrel. The performance requirements for targeting and detection equipment are also very high. These problems are all What needs to be solved!

Only after these shortcomings are resolved, can the laser weapon be used as a mature space weapon in our company's future spacecraft!

My introduction is complete, thank you all!"
