s: I was confused in the last chapter.
The description of Leibu No. 1 was wrong.
The kinetic energy weapon system launcher is on the left, and the command cabin is in the middle.
It has now been changed.
Leibu No.1.
The functional areas of Leibu-1 are roughly divided as follows, based on its "mountain" shape.
The vertical column on the left is the space-based kinetic energy weapon system.
Hey, to put it simply, it is a cannon.
Well, it is an electromagnetic gun. .
The vertical column on the right is space-based directed energy weapon systems such as laser cannons, heavy metal particle cannons, and plasma cannons.
These weapons are concentrated in the front, with the service cabin, equipment cabin or ammunition cabin in the middle, and the energy cabin at the rear on the right, which contains a 300,000-kilowatt fourth-generation fast neutron breeder nuclear reactor and thermoelectric conversion generator set.
The rear compartment on the left is the battery cell, which is filled with 500 tons of the highest-grade Silver Dragon batteries.
Together they form an energy system that provides energy for equipment and weapons throughout the space station.
Whether it is directed energy weapons or electromagnetic guns, they are both large energy consumers and cannot be used just by relying on external solar panels.
The front and middle sections of the middle vertical section are the command module, intelligence module, communication module and living module, and the power module and fuel module are behind.
The missile weapon systems are on both sides of the horizontal line at the back.
There are a total of 128 units of vertical launch systems on them.
They are actually modified from the vertical launch systems on warships.
The name of "Leibu No. 1" naturally comes from Chinese mythology.
In ancient legends, "Leibu" is one of the departments in heaven responsible for conquering and fighting evil.
In addition, although "Leibu No. 1" is a space station, because it is powered and can move freely in space, it can also be used as a hanging silk version of a space battleship.
Alas, actually the Heavenly Army itself also has this intention, which is why so many weapons are added to it.
Although the current power is not enough, and the life support system is not enough to support long-term navigation, and it can only move in relatively close space areas, it is still possible to be used as an experimental product.
Although Leibu No. 1 is as big as three frigates, due to its extremely high degree of automation, the number of people on board is not many.
There are only 112 people, which is not as many as a frigate.
This is because it is a technical verification product.
Due to the establishment of many technical personnel, the number of people will be reduced to about 60 when the mass production model is released.
However, although there are few people here, its establishment level is very high, at the regimental level, and the station commander is a colonel.
It is equivalent to the Navy's nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers were busy in the command cabin of Leibu No. 1.
Their uniforms are different from the four military services that have already appeared: Army, Navy, Air Force and Rockets.
They are uniforms with black and silver gray as the main colors.
Their armbands are also unique.
The bottom pattern is an abstract rotating galaxy, with a military emblem in the middle that reads "Space Soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
Yes, they are space troops, an independent branch of the military that is not under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army.
This branch was established two years earlier than the Rocket Force, but its existence is still unknown.
They have a deceptive name outside: the Second Air Force Service Force.
This is the name written on their uniforms and armbands on the ground. .
Therefore, they are also called "Er Kong" among those in the know.
Well, in fact, the space force itself has a deep connection with the Air Force.
A considerable number of current officers and soldiers are transferred from the Air Force.
Initially, these space affairs were also managed by the Air Force, so it was normal for them to be under the name of the Air Force.
In fact, some people originally proposed to directly establish the "Heavenly Army" and make them officially the fifth military branch of New China.
However, this suggestion was rejected by our beloved President Wen.
The reason is that the conditions are not yet mature.

In Wen Desi's view, there is not even a space battleship.
The Heavenly Army is just a piece of cake and does not live up to its name.
Of course it is not necessary.
Despite the small number of space soldiers serving on Leibu No. 1, they are all of high rank.
There are no ordinary soldiers, and even the handymen are non-commissioned officers.
There is no way, the confidentiality and professionalism here are very strong, ordinary soldiers cannot play it.
The station commander, Colonel Su Luoyun, looked at the dilapidated Singapore Fortress on the screen with joy.
The powerful optical observation system mounted on Leibu-1 made the fortress very clear on the screen.
He smiled and said to everyone: "Fortunately, the Air Force does not have enough ammunition, otherwise it would not be our turn."
"Stationmaster, what are you planning to use?"
a second lieutenant said jokingly.
Su Luoyun said: "Of course it is the golden cudgel system.
Other weapon systems are not suitable.
Moreover, the weapon system of our Lei Department has not been tested in practice.
It is a rare opportunity now.
The superiors also want to see the golden hoop system.
How effective is the hoop?”
"Great, it's finally our turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, several of the guys cheered.
Obviously, they are responsible for the Golden Cudgel System.
"Golden Cudgel" is the nickname of the kinetic energy weapon system.
Su Luoyun then turned to the major next to him and asked politely: "Director Wen, you are the designer of Leibu No. 1, what do you think?"
Although Su Luoyun was a colonel, in front of this young major But he doesn't have the airs of a Shangguan at all.
Major Wen Zebin nodded and said with a smile: "Using kinetic energy weapon systems is the most appropriate choice at this time, station commander.
Directed energy weapons are not suitable for attacking targets in the atmosphere.
The missiles configured on the mine are also medium-sized, and nuclear warheads are not It’s appropriate.
Conventional warheads are not effective against hard targets like fortresses.”
He was also very excited at this moment.
As the main designer of Leibu No. 1, he also wanted to see the power of his work.
Wen Zebin has now completed his doctoral studies and obtained the rank of Space Force Technical Major.
He currently works at the Space Force Equipment Research Institute as the director of the 17th Design Office.
As the first actual test of Leibu-1, a technical verification model, many members of Wen Zebin and his design team, as well as design and maintenance personnel from the equipment manufacturer came to ensure the success of the test.
These extra people crowded the originally spacious command cabin of Leibu No. 1.
"Stationmaster, the posture adjustment is completed and the orbit is now stable," Major Xu Cheng, the navigation chief, reported.
"Duanmugeng, are you ready?"
Su Luoyun turned to the major in charge of target intelligence.
"Okay, stationmaster.
The basic coordinates of the target have been input and are also linked to the battlefield data link.
The posture adjustment of the Golden Cudgel during flight will be provided by the drones and reconnaissance airships over Singapore to provide real-time correction data."
"Zhao Huai" Su Luoyun turned to another lieutenant.
"The golden cudgel is in place and the aiming is completed," Lieutenant Zhao Huai, who was in charge of the gun position, quickly replied.
He is the leader of the team that controls the state of kinetic weapons.
Other groups then reported in turn.
"Now that everything is ready, I give the order to launch."
Su Luoyun gave the order.

"Launch" Lieutenant Zhao Huai reached out his right hand excitedly and pressed the launch button.
At this time, the muzzle shield of the electromagnetic gun had been opened, and a blue-green arc light flashed inside.
A conical shell with a tail fin with a diameter of 100 centimeters and a length of 6 meters was traveling at a speed of 9,000 meters per second.
It was shot out in the direction of the Singapore Fortress.
At this moment, half of the vertical launch missile at the rear of Leibu No. 1 was opened, and sixty-four missile-like objects were fired out like a barrage of cannons.
They are slightly larger than the cannonballs just now, with a diameter of 100 centimeters and a length of 7 meters.
Of course, these are indeed missiles.
After they leave the launch port, the rocket engines at their tails ignite and start working.
Then they adjust their posture in space, gradually accelerate, and rush towards the earth at an increasingly faster speed.
Yes, Leibu-1 is equipped with two space-based kinetic energy weapon systems.
One is a guided artillery shell.
The artillery shell does not need to carry power and uses an electromagnetic gun to give it an extremely high speed.
The other type is missile-like artillery shells, which have their own power.
The former can achieve higher muzzle velocity, low ammunition cost, can be fired as hard as a cannon, and can form sustained firepower, but it requires an electromagnetic gun and can only be installed on large vehicles.
The latter, on the contrary, has a lower speed and high ammunition cost.
It can launch multiple missiles at a time to form a dense strike, and can also be mounted on small vehicles.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Now we are testing them together to see which one works best.
This was not over.
The electromagnetic gun's servo mechanism immediately began to operate, and the automatic ammunition feeder's manipulator sent another shell to the catapult.
After adjusting the position, an ejection rod was extended to the tail of the cannonball.
After it was fixed, the manipulator was released, the barrel was closed, and the cannonball floated quietly in the air.
The electromagnetic gun of Leibu No. 1 is a reconnection cannon.
Among various types of electromagnetic guns, this type of electromagnetic gun has the best efficiency.
The reconnection gun combines the advantages of coil guns that can launch large-mass projectiles and rail guns that can launch ultra-high-speed projectiles.
It can also give the projectiles a higher peak acceleration force, and make the difference between the average acceleration force and the peak acceleration force not big.
This gives the projectile a uniform acceleration.
But it has a technical problem, that is, the cannonball must first be given an initial velocity before it can be accelerated in the barrel.
This means that the cannonball must fly through the middle of the coil.
If the cannonball is small, it is easier to handle.
If the cannonball is larger, it will easily fall down and cannot be kept in the middle of the coil, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
If you use a method of increasing the muzzle velocity to overcome the influence of gravity, you can only use traditional propellant, and the electromagnetic coil will be damaged when the propellant deflagrates.
But in space where there is no gravity, this problem is not a problem.
Therefore, the reconnection gun is most suitable for the gravity-free space environment.
In front of the ejection rod is a gunpowder piston, which is the kind of propelling device used in the "three-free grenade launcher".
It is silent, lightless and smokeless when launched.
Of course, the latter two are important in space.
If it is like traditional artillery shells Using propellant will cause damage to the electromagnetic coil in the gun bore.
Under the condition of weightlessness, there is no need to use high initial velocity to overcome the influence of gravity.
The initial velocity caused by the gunpowder piston is enough.
There was a slight sound of metal friction, and the second cannonball immediately ejected, passing through the middle of the coil exactly.
The loading speed of the missiles at the back was slower.
After more than ten minutes, the second round was launched again.
Didn't the vertical launch system only fire half?
Yes, the other half carried nuclear warheads and conventional warheads, which were not used this time.

In the later generations of the original time and space, there was a widely circulated saying, to the effect that "a kinetic weapon is a very simple thing, just an iron rod."
In fact, kinetic energy weapons are not that simple.
Their warheads are made of high-density, high-hardness, and high-temperature-resistant tungsten-carbon alloys.
In addition to the warheads, unpowered artillery shells do not need to be loaded with explosives.
They also have guidance systems, thermal control systems, and communications.
The system is more complex than a guided artillery shell.
Powered missiles also need a propulsion system, which is more complicated than missiles and not cheap.
The officers and soldiers in the command module were all staring at their screens and working nervously.
Especially Wen Zebin's group of related scientists and siege lions, they seemed even more nervous.
Due to the limitations of the characteristics of kinetic energy weapons, live ammunition tests had never been conducted, and everything was just theory.
Although they also used computers to conduct a large number of simulation calculations, everyone was unsure before verification.
Because some experts who oppose it believe that because its warhead is too fast, it may not have a fatal effect on targets such as large buildings.
At most, it will be like a high-speed flying bullet hitting the glass, piercing the target.
A "small hole" with a diameter of tens of centimeters.
If it were really like this, it would make people laugh out loud.
So we still have to try it to know how effective it is.
Because both missiles and electromagnetic guns are adjustable, these warheads are divided into different speeds to experiment with which speed can achieve the best strike effect.
Anyway, the Singapore Fortress is large enough and has enough targets to experiment with different postures.
In order to conduct this live-fire test, the General Staff and the Space Force mobilized dozens of reconnaissance aircraft and airships, dozens of satellites, and thousands of people for monitoring and evaluation.
The cost of this was much more expensive than those warheads.
After these warheads enter the atmosphere, the outer shell begins to generate heat by friction with air molecules.
The temperature of the heat-proof outer shell becomes higher and higher, and eventually it burns red and continues to vaporize.
The heat-proof shell made of this special ceramic relies on continuous vaporization to lower the temperature.
There is also a special asbestos insulation layer between the shell and the warhead so that the high temperature on the surface will not burn the warhead.
Without protective treatment, these warheads would not reach the ground at all and would become gray in mid-air.
Soon, the warhead entered the black barrier area, but this "black barrier area" is only effective for traditional radio communications.
For China, which has blue-green laser and quantum communication technology, there is no so-called "black barrier area" at all. ".
At this moment, the warhead has turned into a meteor, dragging a dazzling flame tail and falling to the ground.
The Singapore Fortress is about to experience its first meteor shower in history.
However, it was still daytime in Singapore and the "meteor shower" in the sky could not be seen clearly.
At this time, a meteor fell straight down.
"Boom" Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in the originally intact fortress area
