When it comes to mechanical and thermal weapons, Eve’s eyes are bright, and then he asks: “Professor, what are the pros and cons of the development of these three weapons? The development of kinetic weapons should not be good, right? Will kinetic energy weapons be eliminated in the future?”

Yang Yuping replied after thinking about it for a while: “In fact, the most commonly used thermal weapon at this stage is the kinetic energy weapon. Therefore, the most familiar to mankind Thermal weapons are actually kinetic energy weapons.”

All firearms and artillery are actually kinetic energy weapons.

“The most obvious feature of kinetic energy weapons is that they have high initial velocity, kill targets with kinetic energy, and have strong armor piercing capabilities. However, they also have shortcomings. They are greatly affected by environmental factors. Ways to adjust the direction…”

Yang Yuping explained: “In fact, the Earth environment is very unsuitable for kinetic energy weapons. The reason is also very simple, because Earth’s atmospheric density is high. , Will slow down under the air resistance and eventually lose its lethality.

“However, don’t think that kinetic energy weapons are the first thermal weapons that humans come into contact with. You think that such thermal weapons are very backward.

“In fact, in space warfare, kinetic energy weapons can play a greater role.

“The reason is also very simple, because in space warfare, there is usually no atmosphere, and In other words, the air blocking the bullet is gone.

“Therefore, in space warfare, we can usually regard the initial velocity of a kinetic energy weapon as the hit speed. The faster the initial velocity, the more lethality of the kinetic energy weapon.

“To sum up, kinetic energy weapons are an optional development direction in the future, and the pursuit is the ultimate initial velocity and shell quality.

“With the diversification of warheads, a very powerful space warfare weapon system can be developed.”

Everyone listened to the explanation of the old professor, and their hearts suddenly became bright.

In fact, for most people, there is a misunderstanding in the subconscious that kinetic energy weapons will be eliminated in the future.

However, space warfare has given kinetic energy weapons a larger stage for performance because of the different environments.

“So what about missile weapons?”

Eve then asked, Yang Yuping said just now that there are three development directions for future space warfare weapons, and second is missile weapons.

Yang Yuping replied patiently: “Missile weapons are also a future development direction of space warfare weapons.

“In fact, mankind’s early mastery of missile technology is already very proficient in the future. It is indeed possible to continue research in this area.

“Missile weapons, under normal circumstances, have a slow initial velocity, but they can continue to accelerate during launch, and can change direction after launch.

“Compared with kinetic energy weapons, The range of missile weapons will be relatively far. However, missile weapons also have shortcomings. Because of their low initial velocity, they are easily detected by the enemy during launch and may be intercepted. “

Eve went on to ask: “Where is the laser?” How about laser weapons? “

“Laser weapons are relatively new weapons. They sound more sci-fi, but laser weapons also have advantages and disadvantages…”

Yang Yuping went on to explain the feasibility of laser weapons development Sex: “The most obvious feature of laser weapons is that the rate of fire can be regarded as the speed of light, so it can be regarded as launch or hit, which is a type of weapon that is difficult to avoid.

“However, laser weapons also have shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that it consumes huge energy and has almost no mass. It is easy to dissipate energy in space. This leads to a longer range of laser weapons in space warfare. Short.

“Among the three weapon systems, kinetic energy weapons, missile weapons, and laser weapons, missile weapons have the longest range, laser weapons have the shortest range, and kinetic energy weapons are medium-range.

“Therefore, under normal circumstances, we would think that laser weapons belong to edge warfare weapons in space warfare.”

Eve frowned thoughtfully and asked: “The three In the weapon system, which one is better?”

She prefers MEKAMecha. She likes the Divine Boat, but she will not abandon MEKA, so when considering the weapon system, MEKA Also taken into consideration.

Yang Yuping seems to have seen Eve’s careful thoughts, said with a smile: “If it’s your Mecha, I suggest to be equipped with laser weapons, preferably a plasma light knife, to engage in battle. That’s the environment for taking advantage of Mecha.”

What are the advantages of Mecha?

It is clearly comparable to human mobility.

If it is a distance of several hundred kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers, there is simply no difference whether the body grows into a spaceship shape or a Mecha shape.

Mecha’s role can only be manifested in close combat.

Therefore, if Mecha wants to play a role, the goal is to fight at close range, then laser weapons are the best choice.

Moreover, it is not a launching laser weapon, but a plasma light knife type weapon. Holding a lightsaber to fight is the development direction of Mecha.

Eve asked again: “Professor, will we vigorously develop laser weapons?”

After Yang Yuping was silent for a moment, he replied: “No at this stage, because laser weapons A huge energy support is needed. Although we have built a solar furnace, and the solar furnace can provide inexhaustible energy for human civilization at this stage.

“However, for the future space war, the current stage The energy provided by the solar furnace is actually not enough.

“Therefore, at this stage, our energy technology cannot support the large-scale deployment of laser weapons, and can only be used as a supplement to other weapon systems.”

Eve then asked. : “Are there other shortcomings of laser weapons?”

“If there are shortcomings, there may indeed be other shortcomings in the future, that is the problem of energy shield…”

Yang Yuping Thinking about it, he replied: “The laser weapon is a bit fast, and it hits almost instantly.

“However, laser weapon has another obvious disadvantage, that is, it has no quality.

“The lack of quality of laser rays results in poor inertia and poor penetration of energy shields.

“Therefore, although laser weapons have a high hit rate, they will be Energy shield technology restraint.

“However, for humans at this stage, energy shield technology is too far away.

“If you choose laser weapons in the future, then it will be laser weapons and energy shield technology. The competition between the two sides is the competition of the total energy of the two sides. “

Eve looking thoughtful of nodded, then asked: “Then we should develop kinetic energy weapons or missile weapons? “

“This has not been finalized yet. However, you can explore both types of weapons. The development of weapon technology is not about developing one weapon and completely abandoning other weapon systems. “

Yang Yuping looked towards the distance and said, “Which kind of weapon will be developed more advanced in the future, which kind of weapon will be used.”

“Moreover, we can also change the weapon system according to the battle environment.

“In space warfare, more kinetic energy weapons are used, while in planet warfare, missile weapons are used as the Lord. Laser weapons serve as a supplement to other weapon systems. “Yang Yuping thought about and expressed his opinion.
