Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

Li Yang stood up from the experimental table and walked to the huge display screen, which showed the global satellite monitoring images of the Sky Eye system.

The Sky Eye System, as a global monitoring network developed by him through nanotechnology and electromagnetic wave technology after he traveled to this era, has successfully covered a quarter of the world's area and played a huge role in the development and testing of meteorological weapons.

But Li Yang knew that the potential of the Sky Eye system went far beyond that.

With a flick of his finger, the satellite image on the screen quickly shrank, showing the satellite orbits around the earth. Li Yang stared intently at these satellites in orbit, and had a bolder plan in mind. The Sky Eye system can not only be used to monitor global weather changes, but can also be further upgraded to become a true space-based weapon system.

What are space-based weapons?

Space-based weapons, as the name implies, refer to weapon systems based in space or near-Earth orbit. These weapons can be launched or dropped via satellites, space stations, or other in-orbit equipment to strike ground targets directly from space. Unlike traditional ground-based weapons, space-based weapons have the following significant advantages:

Global coverage: Since space-based weapons are deployed in space, they can achieve real-time coverage of any corner of the world using satellites in Earth orbit, and there are almost no blind spots in the strike range. Whether it is an enemy military base, city, or fleet on the move, space-based weapons can achieve precise strikes through precise orbit calculations.

Extremely high strike speed: Since space-based weapons can be projected directly from space to the ground, with the help of the earth's gravity, the strike speed of the weapons is extremely high, even reaching several times the speed of sound. The enemy has almost no time to defend or react.

Difficult to defend: One of the main advantages of space-based weapons is that they are extremely difficult to defend. Traditional air defense systems and anti-missile systems mainly target missiles or aircraft from the ground, while space-based weapons directly attack ground targets from space. The existing defense system has almost no effective means against space attacks.

Li Yang knew that space-based weapons would be the commanding heights of future wars.

Once this technology is mastered, Yan Country will have an unrivaled military advantage on a global scale.

Any military facilities, missile bases, aircraft carriers, and even enemy satellites on the ground will become targets of precision strikes. Such power will completely overturn the existing military structure.

Li Yang's eyes refocused on the screen. The development of space-based weapons requires the upgrading and transformation of the existing Sky Eye system.

The current Sky Eye system already has the ability to monitor the world, but several key issues need to be resolved in order to transform it into a complete space-based weapons system.

First, there is orbit control and satellite deployment.

The existing Sky Eye system satellites are mainly used for monitoring and data collection. Their orbital altitude and operation mode are not suitable for weapons deployment.

Li Yang needs to redesign the satellite's orbit so that it can cover a wider area and have the ability to adjust its orbit at any time to meet different strike requirements.

Each satellite must operate in a precise orbit to ensure that it can strike any target in the shortest possible time.

Secondly, it is the design of the weapon payload.

Li Yang already has several different weapon plans in mind. The simplest space-based weapon is to use a satellite to throw a high-speed metal rod from space to the ground - this is called the "Rod of God."

This weapon does not require explosives and can destroy any target on the ground simply by relying on the kinetic energy generated by high-speed impact.

According to Li Yang's calculations, a tungsten alloy rod about 6 meters long and 30 centimeters in diameter can reach a speed several times the speed of sound when thrown from space to the ground, which is enough to penetrate concrete or armor tens of meters thick.

In addition to the "Rod of God", Li Yang also plans to add directed energy weapons to the space-based weapon system.

This weapon uses high-energy lasers or microwave beams to directly strike ground targets, and can instantly destroy electronic equipment, destroy missiles, or even directly burn targets.

The advantage of directed energy weapons is that they have almost no delay and can complete the strike in an instant, making them the best choice for dealing with high-speed moving targets.

Finally, there is energy supply and sustained strike capability.

The operation of space-based weapon systems requires a lot of energy support, especially high-energy output systems such as directed energy weapons.

Li Yang plans to install new solar panels and nano-battery technology on the satellites of the Sky Eye system to provide sufficient energy for the weapon system through the endless solar energy in space.

At the same time, each satellite will be equipped with sufficient weapons payload to ensure multiple strikes without the need for frequent resupply.

Li Yang stood in front of the operating table, his fingers gently slid across the keyboard, and began to call up the satellite data of the Sky Eye system.

The current Sky Eye system still needs a series of upgrades and adjustments to fully meet the needs of space-based weapons.

First, he needs to test the satellite's orbit adjustment capability to ensure that each satellite can switch to the strike position in the shortest time possible.

"Engineer Chen," Li Yang turned to look at his assistant standing beside him, his voice low and calm, "We are going to start the upgrade plan of the Sky Eye system and begin testing the satellite's orbit adjustment capability."

Engineer Chen nodded immediately, walked to the console and started operating.

A few seconds later, the huge display screen showed the satellite distribution map of the Sky Eye system, and the orbits and operating status of all satellites were clearly visible. Li Yang stared at the screen, not missing any details.

As Engineer Chen pressed the start button, the orbits of several Sky Eye satellites began to shift slightly, and their orbital altitudes were gradually adjusted, moving from the original monitoring orbit to the new strike orbit.

A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Li Yang's eyes. He knew that this was just the first step.

"The orbit adjustment was successful, and all satellites have entered their new orbital positions," Engineer Chen reported, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Li Yang nodded slightly. The next step was to test the release capability of the weapon payload.

"Next, we test the throwing simulation of the 'Rod of God'," he ordered calmly.

A few minutes later, the screen showed a simulated launch of a Sky Eye satellite.

The satellite released a tungsten alloy rod from space, and the simulated ground target was an abandoned base in the desert.

The tungsten alloy rod fell from space at an extremely high speed. A few seconds later, a violent impact scene was displayed on the screen. The entire target base was destroyed in an instant, and the shock wave of the explosion swept the entire area.

"The simulated strike was successful and the target was completely destroyed," Engineer Chen said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Li Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light, the power of space-based weapons has begun to show. And this is just the beginning.

Li Yang stood in front of the window, looking at the mountains in the distance, and began to draw a blueprint for the future in his mind. The successful development of the space-based weapon system will completely subvert the existing military structure.

Whether it is the United States or Russia, all military forces will appear vulnerable in the face of space-based weapons.

They may continue to try to track the source of the weather weapons and try to crack Yan Country's nanotechnology, but by the time they realize the existence of space-based weapons, it will be too late.

Li Yang knows that future wars will no longer be the traditional confrontation between steel and firepower, but a game between space and ground. Whoever controls space controls the fate of the world.

"This is just the beginning," he whispered to himself, his eyes gleaming with wisdom and ambition, "The battlefield of the future will be a showdown between heaven and earth, and I will be the master of it all."

The wind gently blew the treetops outside the window, but the atmosphere in the laboratory became increasingly tense. Li Yang had already begun preparing for the next, even more ambitious experiment, and this time, the whole world would be shocked.

Li Yang stood in front of the laboratory window, his thoughts racing. The sunlight outside the window shone through the thick curtains onto his stern face, outlining his angular features.

For several months, he has been busy developing nanorobots and the Sky Eye system, and the joy of success has gradually been replaced by new ambitions.

The technology in our hands is not just powerful enough to change a certain country, but is enough to subvert the entire world.

However, Li Yang is not satisfied with this. As a time traveler, his responsibility is not only to achieve technological breakthroughs, but also to make these technologies truly useful to the country and to gain global discourse power.

At this moment, a new idea suddenly emerged in Li Yang's mind - to establish Yan Country's own scientific journal.

"Why should our technology be published in someone else's journal?" Li Yang said to himself with a cold look in his eyes. He turned around and looked at his assistant Chen Gong beside the operating table, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

At this time, Engineer Chen was busy organizing the experimental data of the nanorobot. When he heard Li Yang's voice, he looked up and was slightly stunned.

Li Yang's thoughts returned to reality. He knew that if Yan Country wanted to truly have a say in the international scientific community, it could no longer rely on those Western-dominated scientific journals. "It's time to change all this." He whispered, with an unquestionable determination in his voice.

Li Yang slowly walked to the chair in front of the table and sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

There are two undisputed peaks in the current scientific community: Science and Nature. These two journals almost monopolize the world's most cutting-edge scientific discoveries and technological advances.

Science was founded in 1880 and funded by American scientist Thomas Edison. Its original purpose was to provide a platform for American scientists to showcase their research results.

Since then, it has gradually evolved into one of the most influential scientific journals in the world, covering cutting-edge research in fields including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Its authority is reflected not only in the breadth and depth of its content, but also in its significant influence on the global scientific community - many Nobel Prize-winning research results were first published in Science.

Another peak, Nature, was founded in 1869 by John's scientist Norman Lockyer. With its rigorous review system and wide coverage of disciplines, it has become a palace for researchers around the world to submit their papers.

Whether it is the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA or the breakthrough in quantum mechanics, almost all scientific discoveries that have changed the world have appeared on the cover of Nature.

These two journals have become symbols for scientists around the world to showcase their achievements. Any research that can be published in them will attract worldwide attention.

However, Li Yang understood that such a situation was not good for Yan State.

Yan Country's technology has been at the forefront of the world, especially in the fields of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and military technology, and no longer needs to rely on these Western journals to prove itself.

Li Yang's idea gradually became clear: "We need our own scientific journal."
