Chapter 125 Planetary Battleship

In the same year, 68-year-old Chang Weisi retired. Logically speaking, General Chang Weisi should have retired three years earlier, but due to his good health and the special circumstances of the Space Force, where a successor to the Space Force Commander was still being trained, he had no choice but to continue serving for another three years.

The first commander of the Space Force was highly regarded. At his retirement ceremony, General Chang Weisi frankly admitted, "I am full of confidence in future wars."

Chang Weisi's belief in 'victoryism' is not a rootless phenomenon, but a conclusion drawn from the rapid progress made by mankind in space exploration.

In the short span of four years following the end of the Mercury nuclear test in Rediaz, humanity acquired four more "and a half" planetary-level warships, in addition to the "Eternal Emperor Yan" and the "Eternal Snowstorm".

These are the US's 'Comet' planetary-class warship, the EU's 'Anchor' planetary-class warship, the Commonwealth's 'New World' planetary-class warship, and the Japan-South Korea joint venture 'Kokyu' planetary-class warship.

Why is it 'half'?

The remaining half is India's INS Ganga, a planetary warship built on the moon but unable to achieve a successful launch.

India once requested the Wallfacers' help, hoping they could bring the Ganges planetary warship from the lunar surface into a near-lunar orbit. This way, after escaping the moon's gravity, which they could not overcome despite their best efforts, the Ganges warship could soar through the universe.

Luo Qing agreed.

When his physical body appeared at the Tranquil Sea base on the moon, Luo Qing looked at the strangely shaped, chaotically structured planetary spaceship, used his spiritual power to capture it, and slowly pulled it into space.

But Luo Qing made a mistake. There aren't many things in this world that could cause him to make a mistake, but the Indians are one of them.

During the gentle towing of the "Ganges" warship, the Japanese-made hull structure could not withstand the weight, and the entire warship broke apart from the waist. The fracture extended from the hull into the interior of the spacecraft, creating powerful stress that tore apart the American controlled nuclear fusion engine inside the warship. The storage area for the "propellant fuel" also leaked. This nuclear fuel leak quickly caused the French shipboard control platform to malfunction due to nuclear radiation. After the shipboard control platform failed due to nuclear radiation, the Russian "propellant thrust nozzle" also malfunctioned due to the loss of computer control. This malfunction further caused a severe thrust imbalance in the entire "Ganges" spacecraft, resulting in a massive tear in the hull. The German-made oxygen supply system leaked a large amount of solid fuel that had not yet undergone oxygen production. Subsequently, high temperatures and flames engulfed everything.

By the time Luo Qing realized what was happening, the 'Ganges' warship following behind had become a pile of wrecked shells leaking nuclear radiation and exploding with high temperatures.

Luo Qingren was completely numb.

With a single sword strike, he extinguished all the flames, detached the fuel compartment from the spaceship, and threw it into space. Luo Qing had no choice but to throw this lump of steel dung back to the moon.

This has drawn strong protests from Indian netizens, who believe that the Wallfacer's violent pulling caused the destruction of the spacecraft.

This in turn triggered severe cyberbullying.

Indian netizens even brought up the old grudge from more than 10 years ago, when Luo Qing destroyed their aircraft carrier Vikrant during a joint Pacific exercise.

The response to these netizens was a star-shaped nuclear bomb.

A star-shaped nuclear bomb was suspended over New Delhi, with a MOSS display screen mounted on the bomb's screen. The star-shaped nuclear bomb will be detonated once MOSS detects that there are more than 10 abusive messages against Luo Qing on the Indian internet.

There are currently 24370 entries.

This hard-line approach to dealing with cyberbullying quickly silenced all the dissenting voices from Indian netizens.

Of course, it's unlikely to actually explode, but if someone dares to hurl 100,000 insults, Luo Qing wouldn't mind giving them a minor punishment.

The report on the destruction of the 'Ganges' spaceship was quickly released, and Luo Qing was exonerated. The destruction of the Ganges was purely due to substandard internal construction.

Of course, even though Luo Qing received an apology from Indian netizens, he did not withdraw the stellar-class hydrogen bomb. Unable to bear the mental torment, the Indian government ultimately chose to move the capital to New Delhi.

This farce has been a laughing stock for the seven major powers.

These five (crossed out) four newly appeared planetary warships, plus Russia's 'Eternal Snowstorm' and 'Eternal Flame Emperor' planetary warships, bring humanity to a total of six planetary warships!
All of this, from the construction of the first ship, the "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years," to the completion of the last ship, the "New Continent," took only six years in total.

This vibrant scene of life and flourishing diversity is still vivid in our minds, and the appearance of six planetary-level warships has greatly boosted the confidence of human civilization.

The space forces of various countries have finally acquired real 'space warships,' although they are only planetary-level. Of course, these six planetary computers are still human technology verification experimental ships, with scientific research attributes outweighing military attributes.

The US planetary warship "Comet" was equipped with experimental high-power laser weapons and experimental electromagnetic railgun systems. The high-power laser weapon could vaporize a tank model on Mars in a short time, while the electromagnetic railgun's single shot could also smash a tank.

The planetary warship "Anchor Point," which is part of the European Union with France and Germany at its core, is equipped with an experimental convergent prism weapon. This light-focusing weapon is the second type of "light-speed strike" weapon mastered by mankind, besides lasers.

Luo Qing was very interested in the convergent prism weapon mounted on the planetary battleship "Anchor Point" and even asked the "Anchor Point" to fire a shot at it.

Well, its power is only so-so; it can melt an iron meteorite target with a diameter of no more than ten meters.

While its instantaneous power is much stronger than that of laser weapons, the average power of the convergent prism weapon is far inferior to that of laser weapons with sustained output.

However, these two planetary-level warships, which are the only ones equipped with weapons, are currently in a phase where offense outweighs defense. The Comet and the Anchor can destroy each other, and it remains to be seen who will spot the other first in the vast expanse of space.

Regardless, Luo Qing believes that the path for humanity to develop advanced weapon systems is still long.

Besides these two spacecraft, the British "New World" and the Japanese and South Korean "Koguri" planetary warships, along with the "Emperor of Ten Thousand Years" and the Russian "Eternal Snowstorm," are purely research vessels used to verify the feasibility of future star-class warships.

After all, planetary spacecraft have limited potential, and rushing to equip them with weapons is not very meaningful. China, Russia, and the UK have all taken the approach of testing weapons in the vacuum of the moon, and then figuring out how to move them onto the spacecraft once starships are developed.

The space force has a history of more than 20 years. In future interstellar wars, humanity certainly cannot rely on individual national fleets to fight alone; a unified command must be established.

Before his retirement, General Chang Weisi launched a call to integrate the space forces of various countries. The six planetary-level spacecraft established a unified electromagnetic signal command system, and the concept of nation-state began to fade in these space forces.

Perhaps it won't be long before the influence of the Space Force as an independent force gradually becomes apparent.

Also in the same year, Thomas Wade, the former director of the Planetary Defense Agency (PIA) of the Planetary Defense Council, decided to go into hibernation. This director, who had served in the PIA for twenty years, was also highly regarded.

Galen, who once served as the rotating chairman of PDC, lives in Luo Ji's Nordic Eden and commented on Thomas Weld: "He is a cold man who carved out a path for civilization with iron and blood. The future needs people like him."

Since its establishment, the PIA department has promoted many influential projects, the most famous of which is the "Stairway Project" more than ten years ago. Of course, the "Stairway Project" is considered a failure, and the deviation of the Stairway Project aircraft from its course was an error that could not be ignored.

The PIA director, who spearheaded numerous forward-thinking initiatives, is now also going into hibernation to travel to the future.
