Chapter 847: The Scythian Experiment Is Successful

The hall of the launch center was already crowded with people, and the atmosphere before the launch was very tense.

Due to limited manpower, not many people came from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Many people here were transferred directly from the Strategic Rocket Force. Anyway, they are also firing missiles and the process is the same.

At the same time, an optical fiber here is directly connected to the Soviet Union’s defense optical fiber system through Iraq and Iran, and can be connected to Moscow, Baikonur, and the Soviet Union’s early warning satellite and other systems. This also represents the breakthroughs made by the Soviet Union in electronic technology in recent years!

The countdown before the launch was quite tense. On the large screen in the center, the figure of the R7 missile outside appeared.

"Ignite!" Finally, when the countdown reached zero, the order came.

Ignition! The 20 RD-107 and RD-108 engines at the bottom of the R-7 missile ignited at the same time. In an instant, white smoke covered the entire launch pad. In the white smoke, the body of the R-7 missile slowly swayed, and then began to climb upwards! The blazing flames at the tail were so dazzling that they looked very gorgeous on the entire screen.

R-7 missile, launched successfully!

The missile continued to rise and gradually shrank. The high-speed camera could no longer capture this scene, so it gradually turned into a bright line on the big screen. At the same time, there was a simulated dotted line on the big screen. The overlap of these two lines meant that the missile was climbing along the predetermined route!

"Discard the boosters." As the order came, four huge boosters that had finished burning out in space fell off from both sides of the missile body. The separation of the four conical boosters was so spectacular if viewed up close!

After the booster was jettisoned, the projectile continued to rise, leaving the atmosphere and entering the dark outer space!

The launch of the missile has been completed. Now, it depends on the performance of the Scythian space laser weapon station in space!

In the space, the nearly 100-ton Scythian was still flying. Suddenly, its unfolded communication antenna received a radio message. The reconnaissance satellite captured the launch of a ballistic missile, which was now rushing out of the atmosphere!

It only had less than a minute left! After receiving this order, the Scythians acted quickly. The computer was calculating quickly. Just five seconds later, the black Scythians sprayed air from several nozzles to adjust their direction. Then, the tail engine began to ignite, and the hot flames shone in the dark space.

The engine ignited for five seconds, and then the Scythian's engine shut down again. At this time, it had completed the adjustment of its orbit and was in the direction where the ballistic missile was coming from!

On the sturdy lower body, the equipment that can generate high-energy lasers is running rapidly. The huge energy storage capacitor is storing electrical energy continuously. At the same time, the optical aiming system has begun to preheat, and the radar and photoelectric sensors are ready to be turned on.

The radar was turned on first, and electromagnetic waves filled the space. Soon, it captured the missile that was flying rapidly from a hundred kilometers away. At this time, the missile had reached the first cosmic speed, flying at a speed of up to 8 kilometers per second, leaving the Scythians only a dozen seconds to react!

After the radar captured it, the optoelectronic aiming system was turned on. The speed, altitude, position, and various data of the target were continuously fed into the central computer. The computer was running at high speed. Two seconds later, all the data needed for interception had been calculated. Then, the 1-megawatt laser from the A60 airborne laser weapon project instantly output a powerful laser! At this moment, the supercapacitor released all the stored electrical energy!

One advantage of laser weapons is that they don't take time to reach the target. The laser beam, which travels at the speed of light, reaches the target almost instantly, and hits the target accurately!

As the laser beam hit the warhead of the R-7, the heat-resistant shell of the warhead, which was originally able to withstand the high temperature of re-entering the atmosphere, softened, melted, and vaporized at this moment, and a hole appeared! At the same time, the vaporized matter and plasma produced by the irradiation generated stress waves inside the warhead, and the warhead vibrated at an extremely high frequency, and then it shattered!

In the ground-detected radar, the warhead has disappeared!

The orbit of the Scythians is on the side of the warhead. After the warhead broke into fragments, it did not cover the orbit of the West Asians. These fragments will become space junk and will fly in space for a long time before falling down.

The first experiment of the Scythian space weapon laser station to intercept warheads was a complete success!

When the news came, there was jubilation at the ground launch base!

"Comrade Ustinov, congratulations on the success of your space laser weapon." Andrei looked at his side in surprise. Defense Minister Ustinov was speaking to the person in charge of the experiment.

The other party is also called Ustinov? Andre looked at the two of them. This chief designer Ustinov looked very similar to the Minister of Defense, but he was about twenty years younger.

Could it be that they are father and son?

"We will definitely guard against arrogance and keep working hard. While we continue with our experiments, we will also further research higher-power laser weapons," said Chief Designer Ustinov.

"I think we can give Comrade Ustinov a Lenin medal for this achievement." Gorshkov said, "Comrade Marshal, if you are reluctant to say it because of our father-son relationship, I will propose it."

The two were indeed father and son! Andre's mind recalled the information he had read on the Internet in the future, and then he suddenly realized it.

At present, the main research task of Soviet laser weapons is undertaken by the famous "Astrophysics" Institute NGO. The project director of this institute is Igor V. Pitsyn, and the chief designer is Nikolay Ustinov. His father is Defense Minister Dmitry Ustinov. It is also for this reason that their project team has received full support in terms of financial resources, manpower and equipment.

Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together. The Soviet Union's laser weapons have made such great progress, which is inseparable from the absolute support of the country, but the United States does not have such conditions. Whatever they want to research, Congress will ask this and that, and often refuse to allocate funds.

"Do we have laser weapons like this that can be carried on ships?" Just then, Andre interrupted.
