As soon as mechanical and thermal weapons were mentioned, Eve's eyes lit up, and she took up the conversation and asked, "Professor, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these three development directions of weapons? It shouldn't be good to develop kinetic energy weapons? Kinetic energy weapons Will you be eliminated in the future?"

Yang Yuping thought for a moment before answering: "Actually, the thermal weapons that humans use most at this stage are kinetic energy weapons. Therefore, the thermal weapons that humans are most familiar with are actually kinetic energy weapons."

All firearms and artillery are actually kinetic energy weapons.

"The most obvious feature of a kinetic energy weapon is its high initial velocity. It uses kinetic energy to kill targets and has a strong armor-piercing ability. But there are also disadvantages, that is, it is greatly affected by environmental factors. After the bullet is ejected, there is no way to adjust its direction..."

Yang Yuping explained: "In fact, the earth's environment is very unsuitable for kinetic energy weapons to function. The reason is also very simple, because the earth's atmosphere is dense. After a bullet is ejected, it will slow down under air resistance and eventually lose its lethality.

"However, don't think that kinetic energy weapons are the first thermal weapons that humans came into contact with, and 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, that is to say, there is no air to hinder the bullet.

"Therefore, in space warfare, we can usually regard the initial velocity of a kinetic energy weapon as the hit velocity. The faster the initial velocity, the greater the 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 launch velocity and shell quality.

"Combined with the diversification of warheads, a very powerful space warfare weapon system can be developed."

After listening to the old professor's explanation, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

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

However, due to the different environments of space warfare, it gives kinetic energy weapons a bigger stage for performance.

"What about missile weapons?"

Eve continued to ask, just now Yang Yuping said that there are three directions for the development of weapons for space warfare in the future, and the second is missile weapons.

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

"In fact, humans have already mastered missile technology very proficiently in the early stage, and we can indeed continue to study in this area in the future.

"Missile weapons, usually, have a slow initial velocity, but they can continue to accelerate during launch, and can change direction after launch.

"Compared with kinetic energy weapons, missile weapons have a relatively longer range. However, missile weapons also have disadvantages. Due to their low muzzle velocity, they are easily detected by the enemy when launched, and there is a possibility of being intercepted."

Eve continued to ask: "What about lasers? How about laser weapons?"

"Laser weapons are relatively new weapons. It sounds more sci-fi, but laser weapons also have advantages and disadvantages..."

Yang Yuping went on to explain the development feasibility of laser weapons: "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 a type of weapon that is difficult to evade.

"However, laser weapons also have disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that they consume a lot of energy and have almost no mass. They are prone to energy dissipation in space, which leads to the short range of laser weapons in space warfare.

"Kinetic energy weapons, missile weapons, and laser weapons, among the three weapon systems, missile weapons have the longest range, laser weapons have the shortest range, and kinetic energy weapons are in the middle range.

"Therefore, under normal circumstances, we would consider laser weapons to be edge-to-edge weapons in space warfare."

Eve frowned and asked in thought: "Of the three weapon systems, which one is better?"

The direction of her thinking is biased towards the MEKA mecha. She likes the Shenzhou, but she will not abandon MEKA, so when considering the weapon system, MEKA is also taken into consideration.

Yang Yuping seemed to have seen Eve's careful thinking, and said with a smile: "If it's your mecha, I suggest that you equip it with laser weapons, preferably plasma light knives, and engage in edge-to-blade combat, that's the way to give full play to the mecha's advantages." environment of."

What are the advantages of armor?

Obviously comparable to human mobility.

If it is hundreds of kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers away, there is no difference at all whether the body grows into the shape of a spaceship or a mech.

Only in close quarters melee combat can the role of the mech be manifested.

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

And it's not a launch-type laser weapon, but a plasma light saber type weapon. Holding a lightsaber to fight is the development direction of mechs.

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

After a moment of silence, Yang Yuping replied: "Not at this stage, because laser weapons require huge energy support, although we have built solar furnaces, and solar furnaces can provide inexhaustible energy for human civilization at this stage.

"However, for future space warfare, the energy provided by solar furnaces at this stage is actually not enough.

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

Eve continued to ask: "Are there any other disadvantages of laser weapons?"

"If we talk about shortcomings, there may indeed be other shortcomings in the future, and that is the problem of energy shields..."

Yang Yuping thought about it and replied: "The advantage of laser weapons is that they are fast and hit almost instantly.

"However, there is another obvious disadvantage of laser weapons, which is that they have no mass.

"Laser rays have no mass, resulting in poor inertia and poor penetration of energy shields.

"Thus, although laser weapons have a high hit rate, they will be restrained by energy shield technology.

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

"If you choose laser weapons in the future, it will be a competition between laser weapons and energy shield technology, that is, a competition between the total energy of the two parties."

Eve nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then should we develop kinetic energy weapons or missile weapons?"

"This has not yet been determined. However, we can explore both types of weapons. The development of weapon technology does not mean that we must focus on the development of one type of weapon and completely abandon other weapon systems."

Yang Yuping looked into the distance and said longingly: "Which kind of weapon will be developed more advanced in the future, that kind of weapon will be used.

"Also, we can also change the weapon system according to the combat environment.

"In space warfare, more kinetic energy weapons are used, and in star wars, missile weapons are the mainstay. Laser weapons are used as a supplement to other weapon systems." Yang Yuping pondered and expressed his opinion.
