Following Xu Lei's firing order, one of the heavy rail guns fired a tungsten alloy shell under the influence of nuclear fusion reaction energy and accelerated it to one thousandth of the speed of light.

At the same time, when the shell approaches the target, the fragmentation fuze is automatically triggered to explode, maximizing the killing range.

In the core command cabin of the battleship, Xu Lei, Yu Hongliang, Li Chengzhe and others saw that the meteorite was directly turned into pieces under the impact of the heavy rail gun. They couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva. They did not expect the power of the main weapon of the heavy hammer cruiser.

It's so scary.

According to this destructive power, if a sufficient number of heavy rail guns are deployed in the orbit of the planet, there is every hope of destroying Pluto.

By then Pluto will break into countless small pieces, and then burn through the friction of the Earth's atmosphere, and the rest will hardly cause much disaster.

Totally within the affordable range.

However, at present, the heavy rail gun can only be regarded as one direction, and subsequent careful demonstration and calculation are needed.

Furthermore, since we want to ensure the continuation of human civilization, we must formulate multiple response plans to provide double or even triple insurance on Earth and planets.

"This thing is so powerful. A meteorite of that size will be gone if you don't have it." Yu Hongliang, who was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, couldn't help but express his heartfelt emotion. When speaking, his eyes always stayed on the spot where the meteorite was hit.

on the screen.

I just feel that my choice to board the Shenzhou was a very correct decision.

Li Chengzhe, who was next to him, was not to be outdone and quickly took over the conversation.

"Dean, according to the feedback data, the Shenzhou's heavy rail gun has reached its theoretical power." Unlike Yu Hongliang, his entire attention was still on the data.

Although the heavy rail gun has not had the opportunity to be tested before, it has a set of theoretical power values ​​at the beginning of its manufacture. Only when it reaches this value can it be considered the main weapon of the heavy hammer cruiser.

Otherwise, it is a defective product.

In fact, when the Shenzhou began its main body docking, Xu Lei was somewhat worried.

I am afraid that the effect of the battleship's main weapon is not ideal.

After all, the heavy rail gun is likely to be used in the Pluto incident a few years later. If it does not reach the power value, it will inevitably affect the whole body and affect the overall situation.

Fortunately, it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary.

The heavy rail gun has produced very ideal results, fully meeting the Science and Technology Museum’s introduction to this second-level civilization technology exhibit.

To be honest, Xu Lei believed that even if the Shenzhou could not 100% replicate the overall performance of the Hammer cruiser, it could at least reach over 90%.

It is a very successful and great work.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that humans have entered a first-level civilization and mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Otherwise, if the technical means and battleship materials fail to meet the requirements, the resulting interstellar battleship will be nothing more than an ordinary spacecraft that is slightly larger in size.

Free navigation within the star system is simply impossible.

"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. Let's continue to move towards Mars and strive to complete the construction of the galaxy monitoring station as soon as possible." Xu Lei looked at Li Chengzhe, who was full of excitement, and praised him without hesitation, but at the same time he was not overly concerned about this matter.

What a waste of time.

Then he brought the topic back to business.

At present, Pluto is approaching the Earth every minute and every second. Under this urgent situation, the monitoring station on Mars must be completed as soon as possible to ensure that the flight status of Pluto is observed at all times.

Understand the status of Pluto in real time so that you can adjust your plan in a timely manner.

Mainly on the way Pluto flies towards the Earth Star, it will pass by several other eight planets, and what will happen is unpredictable.

Maybe it will be captured by a certain planet and make Pluto its satellite, so naturally everyone will be happy.

Humanity's crisis will resolve itself.

But if Pluto continues to accelerate, then humanity's response plan must also improve its progress.

This is equivalent to a two-party game process.

Especially in Xu Lei's plan, at least three response plans must be prepared to deal with the crisis brought by Pluto, so no time is allowed to be wasted.

Li Chengzhe naturally understood what the current situation was like. Now that the power of the heavy rail gun was confirmed, there was no need to waste time by continuing to search for targets for test firing.

After reacting, he immediately nodded sharply: "It's the dean."

From the inside to the performance, there is no dissatisfaction with this.

Speaking of which, when Li Chengzhe was still in charge of the artificial sun project, he was quite proud, thinking that they were the most likely to conquer controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Besides, their artificial sun was leading the world at that time, and they indeed had this proud qualification.

But from the establishment of the Future Science and Technology Fusion Institute to the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology and the construction of fusion power plants to change the domestic energy structure, it was like a loud slap on his face.

For the first time in my life, I had doubts about my years of research.

It wasn't until he got the opportunity to participate in the construction of a fusion power station and learn about nuclear fusion-related technologies that he truly admired future technology from the bottom of his heart, expressed envy of Xu Lei's abnormality, and finally only had deep admiration.

.

Especially after becoming the deputy director of the Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute and participating in the interstellar battleship manufacturing project, he became more and more aware of the gap between himself and Xu Lei.

I fully understand why future technology can grow to a level that can reverse the fate of human civilization in just a dozen years.

So now he will never have any doubts about Xu Lei's orders.

And as the Shenzhou continued to fly toward Mars, the scene of the heavy rail gun destroying meteorites under the operation of Xingtong was also shown in the live broadcast room, allowing the audience to truly understand the power of the heavy rail gun.

You must know that many people do not have a deep concept of asteroids, they are just larger meteorites.

Seeing how easily the railgun destroyed a large meteorite with a diameter of more than 500 meters, I suddenly felt that destroying Pluto was not a problem, so that the last trace of fear of the crisis of human extinction disappeared unconsciously.

Many people even expressed their intention to purchase products from Future Technology Company to support them and help Future Technology create more interstellar battleships.

After everyone's emotions were completely ignited by the performance of the heavy rail gun, they suddenly became more excited and excited.

I don’t feel at all that it’s already late at night on Earth and Star.

I just kept expressing my excitement at the moment through barrages.

"It is indeed an interstellar battleship. It is so powerful."

"Suddenly I felt that even if Pluto came, I could still be crushed by it."

"This piece of advice is posted separately. I will save it and read it slowly."

"It's still a real punch. No matter how good the special effects team is, it can't produce this kind of effect."

"Everyone should eat and drink. Isn't it just a slightly larger asteroid? There are future technologies to worry about."

"I hope everyone will buy more future technology products. It is everyone's responsibility to build star battleships."

"Although it's late at night, why am I not sleepy?"

"Staying up late is harmful to your health. Of course such a wonderful live broadcast will last all night. It's almost dawn here."

…

…

Since it will take almost a day for the Shenzhou to reach Mars, Xingtong intelligently controls the flight according to the predetermined route, so there is no need for Xu Lei and the others to control it too much.

So I occasionally watch live broadcasts when I’m bored.

Even Xu Lei was thinking that if he had known that he would be so idle during the flight, he would have taken Chen Shihe to Mars with him.

This way you can also play poker and have some entertainment.

But one thing that made Xu Lei feel good was the special meals on the battleship.

It tastes great.

The two-day space flight experience was fleeting.

Monday, April 15th.

As the orange-red planet grew larger and larger in the field of view, Shenzhou finally successfully reached the vicinity of Mars.

When the speed gradually slowed down, it finally stopped above the orbit of Mars.

Due to the special characteristics of the Shenzhou, it is definitely impossible to land directly on the surface of Mars. At this time, the role of the six landing ships parked on both sides of the ship's hull is reflected.

Just as Xu Lei was preparing to arrange for the landing ship to land, a signal from the Mars military base suddenly appeared on the battleship's main screen.

"This is a Mars military base. I am astronaut Ye Junmin. Welcome Shenzhou to Mars."

"The landing position coordinates have been transmitted."

"We will coordinate with you at the target location."

Xu Lei looked at the familiar figure appearing on the screen, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

When the space elevator was spliced ​​and completed its first operation, it was transporting Ye Junmin and several other astronauts to the moon to implement the base plan.

Now, in the blink of an eye, Ye Junmin has grown up completely.

Have the ability and perseverance to work hard on Mars and work hard for the Mars military base project.

After hearing this, Xu Lei immediately responded: "Shenzhou received it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered Li Chengzhe: "Open the starboard side of the ship, let the astronauts prepare, and take the three landing ships on the starboard side to land on the surface of Mars and take the equipment down."

And before Li Chengzhe could answer, he turned around and looked at Xingtong's mechanical body.

"Xingpu."

"You should go down with them too."
