Chapter 934 Red Star Project

The last time the experiment was conducted, a 1-megawatt laser weapon was used, and the experiment was a complete success! This made the Scythian designer Nikolay very happy, so he started developing a more powerful space laser weapon.

From 1 MW to 2 MW, the power of the laser has doubled, and the performance has undergone a complete transformation. For example, if a 1 MW laser weapon can burn a hole in a satellite in space, then a 2 MW laser weapon can directly burn and blow up the satellite! At the same time, this laser weapon also has the ability to attack ground targets!

For example, the ballistic missile just launched can be destroyed as long as it is successfully locked!

At the same time, a higher-power 5-megawatt laser weapon is also under development.

From 1 MW to 2 MW, in order to increase the power, the Astrophysics Design Bureau has made great efforts. This cannot be a direct enlargement, otherwise the weight will be too large! Even with various methods, this laser weapon in space has continued to increase its weight by 5 tons, reaching a perverted 100 tons!

Fortunately, the last experiment also verified the effectiveness of the Energia rocket. It is capable of sending 105 tons of payload into space, so this 100-ton space weapon is still within the tolerance range!

Of course, the subsequent 5-megawatt laser is estimated to exceed the limit of 105 tons. However, the new Dhahran Space Base will soon be put into normal space launch missions. It is closer to the equator, and when the Energia rocket arrives there, it has been demonstrated that it can accurately send spacecraft weighing more than 120 tons into low-Earth orbit!

So, don’t worry about being overweight for now.

As the countdown began, the atmosphere at the entire Baikonur launch site became more tense.

On the launch pad, the Energia rocket stood quietly! When the ignition command came, the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engines below and the liquid oxygen and kerosene engines on the booster ignited together, and the blazing flames enveloped the entire launch pad! In the sky-high flames, the Energia rocket rose from the ground!

After the failure of the N-1 rocket, Soviet rocket designers had learned enough lessons from the failure, and the second Energia launch continued to be successful!

When the rocket accurately sent the Scythian-E into orbit, everyone cheered.

"Congratulations, Comrade Nikolay, the second Polar satellite has entered orbit accurately again." Along with the cheers, Nikolay, who was in a corner of the launch hall, heard a voice in his ear.

Nikolay turned his head and spoke to his old acquaintance, Logino-Loginsky. Although both of them knew what was launched, the propaganda to the outside world was that it was the second Polar Satellite, an ordinary exploration satellite.

"Yes, our space laser weapons have taken another step forward." Nikolay said, "What about our space shuttle? Has the progress been greatly accelerated as well?"

Of course Nikolay knew that Logino was in charge of the Buran space shuttle. This space shuttle was originally planned to make its first flight in 1985. However, as the situation became tense, the research and development of this space shuttle was also progressing rapidly.

"Yes, if possible, we will be able to launch it next month." Logino said: "At the same time, a new generation of space station will be launched, which can dock four Buran ships at the same time."

A new generation of space station! With the experiments of the first and second generation Salyut space stations, the Soviet Union's space station technology gradually matured, and the third generation Mir space station was already designed in 1976.

Mir, it has a good name! In fact, it is a combat space station!

The Polar, which is the Scythian space laser weapon, the Blizzard, can actually carry a weapons cargo bay, a real space weapons station, plus a space station in space, transformed into a combat space station. This is the Soviet Union’s real plan to occupy space, code-named the Red Star Project!

Historically, the Red Star Project was real. The United States used the Star Wars Project to fool the Soviets, and the Soviets actually developed a space military project in response to the Star Wars Project. This massive project included military space stations, orbital laser weapon platforms, small space fighters, heavy modular launch vehicles, and space shuttles, among other weapon systems, forming a preliminary set of offensive and defensive space military forces.

If the Soviet Union succeeded, it could destroy the enemy's space force, intercept its intercontinental missiles, launch attacks from the sky to the ground, and completely gain control of the space!

The consequences are also regrettable. Before its disintegration, the Soviet Union had initially built a space military power system, but it also consumed a huge amount of national strength. At the same time, it encountered people like Gorbachev and had to abandon all its advantages!

But now, unlike in history, the Soviets are gaining clear strategic advantages!

Andropov came to power a few years earlier, ended the bureaucratic ills of the Brezhnev era, punished a large number of corrupt officials, and the atmosphere in the entire Soviet Union began to improve.

At the same time, continuous economic reforms further improved Soviet productivity, and people's living standards also reached a new level.

Due to the Soviet Union's continuous external expansion, it also gained huge benefits. Apart from other things, the gains in the Middle East made the Soviet Union's financial situation extremely good.

Under these conditions, the Soviet Union certainly had the ability to support the development of various high technologies! Although the Star Wars plan was a plan concocted by Marshal Ogarkov to bring down the US economy, at the same time, the Soviet Union did put a lot of effort into research in some aspects.

This is the new Red Star Project. The main idea of ​​this plan is to completely master the power of space control by relying on the achievements made by the Soviet Union in space over the years!

With the combat space station in space as the base, space shuttles and laser weapons cruise around. The space shuttles can capture the opponent's spacecraft and carry weapons bays to destroy the opponent's weapons, while laser weapons can destroy the opponent's space satellites and equipment on the ground.

If you master outer space, you will completely master the world!

So far, the only breakthrough is space laser weapons, and other aspects are also being intensively developed.

"Comrade Nikolay, you are here." At this moment, a staff member hurried over and said to him, "There is a new situation in space. Please go to the control center immediately."

Next to the launch hall is the measurement and control center. At this moment, there is a tense atmosphere in the measurement and control center.
