"Some people say that the Shenzhou is not equipped with a weapon system. Unfortunately, in this flight test plan, there is indeed an optional plan for the display of the weapon system. Since you want to see it so much, let's wait and see."
As Fang Zhenguo spoke, he pointed to the largest screen in the Airshow Center.
This is a huge screen, as big as a giant screen in a movie theater.
Everyone at the scene followed Fang Zhenguo's fingers and looked at the giant screen.
Not only the audience participating in the air show, but also how many people all over the world are paying attention to the Shenzhou.
Some are broadcast live on video, while others are observed via satellite.
For some countries with strong scientific and technological strength, they did not pay attention to the pictures taken in the East China Sea at all.
Because they know very well that the source of the live broadcast signal released by the East China Sea must have been processed and will not reveal the secrets of the Shenzhou.
Therefore, at this time, it is not known how many detection satellites are staring at Shenzhou.
These detection satellites transmit the observed pictures back to the center of the ground in fact.
Unknown scientists all over the world are analyzing the data of Shenzhou.
However, the information that can be obtained from the analysis of the shell is too little.
In the building of the White Eagle Congress.
"How fast is this thing?" asked the congressional chief, pointing to satellite footage.
There are very few data that can be analyzed from the pictures taken by satellites, but speed is the easiest data to measure.
The secretary looked at the information in his hand, and replied: "In the atmosphere, the limit speed of this spacecraft has reached Mach 3, which is about 3600 kilometers per hour."
"Mach 3, that's not fast. Our fighters can easily reach this speed." Hearing this data, the chief of the White Eagle Congress felt that it was too slow and not surprising at all.
The secretary quickly explained: "This should be because of the first test flight. They did not test the limit speed. And according to the explanation of the scientists, the Shenzhou flew over the air show center at a lower altitude.
"If such a large spacecraft flies at supersonic speed in the troposphere,
The sonic boom will shatter all the glass of the building below. "
When the sound barrier is broken, the sonic boom caused is also destructive.
However, when Fang Yuan broke through the sound barrier, the destructive power of the sonic boom was not obvious.
The reason is simple, because the volume is too small.
But the Shenzhou is 100 meters long, and the area of friction with the air is thousands of times that of Fang Yuan, so the power of the sonic boom caused is naturally much more violent.
Therefore, if the Shenzhou breaks through the sound barrier at low altitude, it will cause very serious harm to people on the ground.
Shenzhou rushed out of the troposphere and entered the stratosphere before breaking through the speed of sound and continuing to fly to outer space.
"What about now? What is the speed of this spaceship now?" The chief of the White Eagle Congress continued to ask.
"The current data is relatively high, reaching 16 kilometers per second, about Mach 50." The secretary replied.
The secretary paused, and then added: "However, the Shenzhou has already flown out of the atmosphere. As long as the engine power is maintained, it can continue to accelerate. In fact, the speed data is not very important now, and the acceleration and limit speed data may be more important."
"Where did this thing fly to?" The chief of the White Eagle Congress looked at the picture taken by the satellite. The background was the deep cosmic starry sky, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"The test flight of the Shenzhou has been going on for about an hour. At this time... it has arrived near the Earth's synchronous orbit. It is about 36,000 kilometers away from the ground." The secretary answered every question raised by the president seriously.
"The interpreter just now said that they are going to demonstrate the weapon system. When will it start?" The chief of the White Eagle Congress was a little impatient.
"It should be soon..." The secretary was not too sure. Since a translator and simultaneous interpretation were needed to know what Fang Zhenguo was talking about, there was still some delay in real-time understanding.
...
Not only the White Eagle Congress, dozens of countries around the world are paying attention to the spacecraft that flew out of space.
Waiting for the display of the weapon system promised by Fang Zhenguo.
"What weapon system is it?" Everyone in the air show center in the East China Sea was staring at the screen while discussing in low voices.
"Maybe it's a space-based nuclear weapon silo?" Some people discussed it, and some speculated.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
When Shenzhou entered geosynchronous orbit, the much-anticipated scene finally appeared.
In the picture, the belly of the Shenzhou is slowly opened to both sides, and a huge gun barrel protrudes from the belly of the machine. The black gun barrel seems to be grinning like the god of death, just looking at it makes people feel chills down the spine.
"Cannon! It's the muzzle!" In the air show center, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"It turned out to be a cannon? What kind of cannon is this? Why is there such a big cannon barrel?" The air show center suddenly boiled.
"With a barrel, could it be a kinetic energy weapon?" Some people began to speculate.
"Isn't it possible? Using kinetic energy weapons in space, the shells will burn up after entering the atmosphere?" Some people began to question.
"Haven't you heard of the Rod of God?" Someone began to show off the rumored space-based weapon.
"I've only heard of God being retarded." Someone immediately retorted.
When the picture was presented, the audience at the scene were all excited.
A large group of reporters surrounded Fang Zhenguo and asked urgently, "What is that barrel? What kind of weapon is that?"
Fang Zhenguo smiled mysteriously, and said: "I just said that I can show the weapon system of the Shenzhou, and I didn't say that I will answer your questions. However, I can tell you the name of this weapon 'shipborne space-based rail gun'."
"Shipborne space-based railgun!"
Everyone who heard the name at the scene showed mixed expressions of shock and bewilderment.
The name is unexpected, but within reason.
"Space-based railguns? Doesn't space-based mean weapons installed on satellites or space stations?" Some viewers who didn't know why began to ask questions.
However, Fang Zhenguo did not answer any questions.
The information he can disclose is arranged in advance by the headquarters, and he will not say a word except for the information allowed by the headquarters.
The audience at the scene began to argue excitedly.
"Space-based weapons, I remember they are installed on satellites?" Many viewers who participated in the air show asked the same question.
"Who stipulated that space-based weapons must be installed on satellites? Satellites are not suitable for equipping weapons at all. Satellites themselves have no mobility and no defense. There are more than one or two countries with anti-satellite missiles." ..."
Some viewers who knew something about space-based weapons began to express their opinions: "So, it is not realistic to install space-based weapons on satellites, and it is still possible to install space-based weapons on space stations.
"However, the space station has no mobility, it is just a target, the more powerful the weapon is installed, the faster it explodes.
"Therefore, the only real space-based weapon is shipboard. Shipboard space-based weapon is the future development direction of interstellar warship weapons."
