"So I think this new way of striking might have a direct relation to energy beams,"
"Z-wave, it’s the energy beam!"
"In other words, the mystery of energy beams has already been mastered, and it can enhance energy’s characteristic to be used as a method of attack?"
The last statement was confirmed by relevant agencies.
During the experiment, it wasn’t shown where the energy beams were fired from, but there are international space monitoring systems that even include outer space, mainly below an altitude of 400 kilometers. Any major activity can be detected.
When people really started looking for it, it was like searching for anomalies in monitoring footage. A group of analysts could always figure it out.
Moreover, it’s no secret that a lot of Z-wave Generators have been launched into space domestically.
Hundreds of satellites looking the same were sent into space, with high-resolution images of every aspect of the satellites available.
Internationally, it was quickly analyzed that the source of the strike was these satellites, and this experiment was directly related to these frightening satellites.
"So to say, energy beams can be used to strike targets, and these satellites are the energy beam generators!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"These satellites look exactly like the devices that are paired with the newly ascended space station to complete space shuttle experiments!"
"Not only can energy beams aid in completing space shuttle experiments, but they can also be used to attack targets. The targets can be electronic circuits, operating engines, and even—"
The last point remained uncertain, until the Institute of Mechanics issued a new research and development progress announcement.
The Institute of Mechanics announced new nuclear reaction ignition technology, "We have developed a new type of ignition technology, called ’Z-wave ignition technology’."
"Driven by Z-wave, it increases the activity of the nuclear device to ignite the reactor directly without affecting it."
"Through experimentation, it has been confirmed that Z-wave can be applied not only to nuclear fission reactors with an enrichment over 50 but also to nuclear fusion reactors!"
"Z-wave ignition technology helps us to greatly reduce the efficiency and cost of ignition in our research on controlled nuclear fusion."
If this research announcement had appeared on its own, it wouldn’t have caused much of a stir because Z-wave is a new term, and even if it has been connected to energy beams, it would only mean the discovery of a new type of radiation that can be used for nuclear reaction ignition.
But now it’s different.
Because it has been determined that Z-wave beams can be controlled, and there are hundreds of Z-wave Generators in space, they can be used to strike space, sea, and ground targets, and the strikes are extremely precise, which is terrifying to think about.
An enrichment over 50 in nuclear fission reactors? What does that make you think of?
Large vessels’ power systems!
Weapons of high lethality against humanity!
In any case, all of them share a common feature—they are almost always in a fixed position.
Even large vessels usually don’t exceed speeds of 40 knots. Compared to the size of the vessels, they’re almost equivalent to fixed targets.
Which is to say—
Upon deeper thought, it causes a chill to run down one’s spine, as the Z-wave Generators are in space and hence, both ground and sea targets are effectively fixed.
International public opinion seemed to come to a halt because the implications were too shocking.
If it were any other experimental demonstration, maybe it would lead to unfavorable consequences, like many organizations getting involved and investing large amounts of funds to increase research and manufacturing scale.
But Z-wave is different.
Z-wave, which is the energy beam, has already been discovered, and many organizations were already investing heavily in its research and development. The Institute of Mechanics has the most profound research internationally; they, however, managed only to detect leaked energy beams by using an Anti-Energy shield, and inherently, had no control over them.
Even when an Anti-Energy shield is used to stimulate energy beams, the timing of the stimulation is not consistent. They are striving for control, hoping to shorten the duration of constrained energy activation, but progress is exceedingly slow.
Many organizations found themselves at a loss for where to start because they had been diligently researching but discovered significant gaps in related developments.
What to do now?
With the emergence of new methods of attack, traditional vessels, fighter jets, and courier services can all be categorized as ’conventional’, and ’conventional’ in the face of new methods of attack essentially means they’re ’fixed targets’.
Many organizations realized they were experiencing attacks from another dimension.
This was like a group of ancient people who were accustomed to defeating their enemies primarily by horseback archery, suddenly discovering that their opponent was a tank battalion.
Although they had indeed been trying to develop tanks, at best they could only produce rudimentary landmines that self-detonated on the spot, and even those were not particularly powerful.
What to do now?
——
At home.
The main reason for the decision to conduct this experiment was the accumulation of over a hundred Z-wave Generation Satellites.
Meanwhile, on the ground, over a thousand Z-wave Generators had been installed, each capable of covering a radius of fifteen hundred kilometers.
This was sufficient.
The Z-wave Generators were the best countermeasure devices, and at the same time, the hundred Z-wave Generation Satellites also had a certain proactive capability.
Now the discussion was about the spaceship project.
Domestically, there was hope to initiate the spaceship project through cooperation, which would reduce funding while speeding up the manufacturing of spaceships.
In the process of cooperation, there was also hope to enhance the technology in certain areas.
For example, high-end manufacturing.
For example, materials.
And so on.
Technical development is multifaceted and not limited to advanced technology alone; the launch of the spaceship project was an excellent opportunity.
When many top institutions worked together on a very large project, it could bring great benefits both economically and technologically.
This was mainly because holding core technologies in hand, as the lead organization in the project, meant having control over the research and development initiative.
One month later, many institutions came forward to express their desire to join the research and development project for the spaceship.
International opinion turned to—
"The spaceship project is extremely important; it is a key step for humanity toward space exploration."
"Spaceships will achieve space travel and could reach any planet within the solar system in a short period, expanding human space exploration beyond the vicinity of Earth."
"This is a very critical step for Earth’s sustainable development."
"When the resources on Earth gradually deplete, and its environment also gets affected, exploring the universe is the best choice." freewebnovel.cσ๓
"We can bring back resources from space to Earth and also look for planets similar to Earth to conduct space colonization."
"This is the grand direction for human development."
"Therefore, the spaceship project is currently the most important project for mankind—"
A significant number of discussions on this subject appeared in the international opinion.
However, other institutions that wanted to join the spaceship project would undoubtedly need to engage in a series of negotiations, and the method of cooperation was an issue.
For example, many institutions wished to access new technologies; even now, they still did not understand energy beams, and even for the basic concept of Anti-Energy barriers, they knew only the application but not the underlying principles.
Science, theory, is the most important.
It was like when ancient people invented gunpowder but did not understand its principles; without scientific growth, there was little progress for thousands of years.
Later, as science gradually developed, the principles of gunpowder were decoded, and development accelerated rapidly. Various kinds of gunpowder were researched and are still in use today.
With sufficient theoretical foundation, technology can develop quickly; without it, technological progress stagnates.
Other institutions naturally hoped to obtain related theories.
The only theory they currently had was related to anti-gravity technology. Even though they had made some progress in their anti-gravity research, the pace of advancement was painfully slow.
