174: The shells belonging to the Qinglong space battleship are heading to Jupiter!
Shouldn't these two be protected at Shancheng Military Base?
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Are all the supplies loaded?”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang asked.
“Yes, everything has been loaded.”
Wu Jiang nodded.
Elder Wang stood on the bridge, looking at the Azure Dragon Space Battleship’s Electromagnetic Railgun, his eyes filled with excitement.
“Little Zhang, how many types of shells did you develop for this Electromagnetic Railgun?”
Elder Wang asked curiously. Currently, Elder Wang only knew about one type, the Nano-bugs bomb, and nothing else.
“Elder Wang, I have prepared three types.”
“One is the previous Nano-bugs bomb, one is an enlarged version of the Air-to-air Missile developed previously, which I call ‘Shell No. 1’, and the other is a Nuclear bomb.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said.
When the Azure Dragon Space Battleship was being built, Academician Zhang Yuanhang had already completed the design and construction of the bombs.
After all, having cannons without shells is useless.
“An enlarged version of the Air-to-air Missile?”
Elder Wang still remembered the Air-to-air Missile Academician Zhang Yuanhang had developed before; its power was extraordinary. Now, enlarged, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
“That’s right. Currently, one shell is equivalent to the yield of a hundred ‘Little Boy’ bombs that exploded in Japan.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said. Everyone present gasped.
“Little Zhang, is the Nuclear bomb you prepared also an improved version?”
Elder Wang hastily asked.
“Yes, yes!” Academician Zhang Yuanhang nodded, “Elder Wang, you all know about the Tsar Nuclear bomb detonated by the Great Bear back then, right?”
Everyone nodded.
At the same time, they thought to themselves: Could it be that Little Zhang has increased the power to the size of that Tsar bomb???
“The Nuclear bomb I developed is five times more powerful than the Tsar Nuclear bomb.”
“It's equivalent to the explosion of 300 million tons of TNT.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said.
Although this number is enough to make The Entire Blue Star tremble, in the vast and endless Space, this power can only be described as average.
“Gulp!”
Elder Wang and the others looked at Academician Zhang Yuanhang in disbelief. They hadn’t expected Academician Zhang Yuanhang to go so big.
He directly created a Nuclear bomb of such a large yield to be used as a shell for the Electromagnetic Railgun.
“Little Zhang, how many of these Nuclear bombs have been manufactured so far?”
Elder Wang asked.
“Only three have been made!”
“Later, resources will be mined from the moon to manufacture these Nuclear bombs.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang saw that manufacturing this Nuclear bomb caused too much environmental damage.
So he decided to produce them on the moon, and he wouldn’t have to worry about other forces causing trouble.
“Alright, Everyone, let’s go to a suitable place to test the firepower of this Azure Dragon Space Battleship!”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said with excitement in his eyes.
“Good, good!”
After hearing Academician Zhang Yuanhang’s introduction, Everyone present was eager to see the power of the Azure Dragon Space Battleship.
So, Everyone returned to their respective posts.
Wu Jiang turned to look at Academician Zhang Yuanhang and Elder Wang, “Academician Zhang Yuanhang, Commander, where should we conduct the test?”
Previously, the Capital had made a detailed plan to go out for three months of testing. But now that Academician Zhang Yuanhang and Elder Wang were on the Azure Dragon Space Battleship, some changes would be needed.
They couldn't just take Academician Zhang Yuanhang and Elder Wang for a three-month joyride!!!
Elder Wang turned to look at Academician Zhang Yuanhang, signaling that he would listen to Academician Zhang Yuanhang.
“Let’s go to Jupiter!”
“Sunlight takes about forty-three minutes to reach Jupiter. At the speed of the Azure Dragon Space Battleship, it will only take a little over seven hours to get there.”
“Jupiter is far enough from The Entire Blue Star and is within the Solar System’s asteroid belt, giving us plenty of meteorites to use for testing.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang felt that going to Jupiter's vicinity was very suitable.
It also allowed him to see the largest planet in the Solar System.
“Since Little Zhang said so, then let’s go to Jupiter!”
Elder Wang also agreed.
“Yes!”
Wu Jiang immediately ordered the Azure Dragon Space Battleship to head for Jupiter.
The Ion Engine and Nuclear Fusion Engine fully engaged. At this time, the pressure suits worn by Academician Zhang Yuanhang and the others began to work.
Counteracting the load for Academician Zhang Yuanhang and the others!
The Capital.
“Commander, something’s wrong.”
“Elder Wang and Academician Zhang Yuanhang have gone to the Azure Dragon Space Battleship.”
“Now the battleship has begun to advance towards Jupiter.”
The secretary rushed in, shouting loudly.
The Top Leader, who was handling affairs, was stunned for a moment and looked up in disbelief.
“Both Little Zhang and Elder Wang went up?”
The Top Leader asked.
“Yes, yes!”
The secretary nodded.
“Oh, this Elder Wang, even if Little Zhang acts recklessly, he didn't try to dissuade Little Zhang, but instead joined him in acting recklessly.”
“What if something happens to Little Zhang?”
The Top Leader stomped his feet in anger.
If he could, he really wanted to give his old comrade, Elder Wang, a good beating.
“Is there anything that can catch up to them?” The Top Leader asked.
“Commander, how could anything catch up to the Azure Dragon Space Battleship?”
The secretary reminded him.
Currently, the fastest flying object on The Entire Blue Star is the Azure Dragon Space Battleship.
“Oh, right, Commander, there’s also a Kunpeng Space Freighter modified with an Ion Engine.”
“However, that freighter might fall apart.”
The secretary remembered at this point and immediately said.
“What’s the use of that? Quickly contact the Azure Dragon Space Battleship for me. I want to talk to Elder Wang and Little Zhang.”
The Top Leader was incredibly grateful that Academician Zhang Yuanhang had previously developed a set of quantum entanglement long-range communication technology.
This allowed them to contact Academician Zhang Yuanhang now.
However, Elder Wang and Academician Zhang Yuanhang, far away in Space, had no intention of answering.
“Damn it!!!”
The Top Leader was so angry his teeth ached!
After seven hours of travel.
The Azure Dragon Space Battleship arrived in Jupiter’s orbit.
Looking at the immensely vast Jupiter, Everyone was awestruck.
“Jupiter is truly massive!”
Elder Wang said slowly.
“Yes, and Jupiter’s resources are also particularly abundant. Take Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons, for example.”
“It has water resources that The Entire Blue Star cannot even compare to.”
“Ganymede’s water resources are more than ten times that of our The Entire Blue Star.”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said.
Just then.
The Azure Dragon Space Battleship issued an alarm.
“Academician Zhang Yuanhang, Commander, Captain, a meteorite with a diameter of about thirty kilometers will strike in ten minutes.”
At this moment, a Crew member shouted.
This meteorite was not just big; it was exceptionally large.
Academician Zhang Yuanhang heard the sound, and his eyes lit up. Wasn't the target here?
“Order the Electromagnetic Railgun to prepare.” Academician Zhang Yuanhang said, “Prepare to fire Shell No. 1.”
“Let’s see the power of Shell No. 1!”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said with a smile.
“Yes!”
The order was immediately given, and the Electromagnetic Railguns on the Azure Dragon Space Battleship all turned their muzzles, aiming into deep Space.
“Shells ready!”
The Crew member turned to look at Academician Zhang Yuanhang.
“Fire!”
Academician Zhang Yuanhang said.
“Yes, fire!”
As the Crew member pressed the switch, in the blink of an eye, one Electromagnetic Railgun fired a Shell No. 1.
The remaining six Electromagnetic Railguns did not fire. If one Shell No. 1 destroyed the meteorite, then they wouldn’t need to act.
If not, then it would be their turn to fire!
After ten minutes, Shell No. 1 collided with the meteorite and exploded.
Immediately, a large spark flashed in the dark Space.
