Although the principle is correct and there is no problem with theoretical research, one of the biggest problems when it comes to practical use is energy! To accelerate a large number of charged particles to close to the speed of light and accumulate into dense beams, a powerful pulse power is required. After calculation, the energy required for the emission of a primary particle beam is equivalent to 30,000 1 million kilowatt power stations while providing power to the weapon system, which is almost impossible.

Therefore, after analyzing the spheres, Helwin believes that those spheres are nuclear explosion power plants! Only in this form can the power required to launch particle weapons! At the same time, there are ordinary nuclear power plants nearby to provide additional energy!

As for another issue, it is the influence of the earth's gravity! Light is not affected by the earth's gravity. Only gravity like the sun can make light bend, so laser weapons do not need to consider bending. However, particles are affected by the earth's gravity. Therefore, when emitted, they do not propagate in a straight line, but go on curves! If particle weapons are concentrated in the targets in space, they need precise control! It can be said that the Soviet Union must have made breakthrough progress in both aspects!

After saying so much, Reagan was just listening in a daze. He looked at William and said, "So, what big problem will we face?"

"All satellites in space will be dangerous when they pass through the Soviet land in the future. Once a nuclear war occurs, the Soviet nuclear warheads can land on our heads, and the nuclear bombs we fired in the past will also be stopped by this weapon!" William said: "The Soviets have gained an absolute advantage."

"Then are our current satellites threatened like this? Except for Big Bird 11?" Reagan continued to ask.

Although he is an outsider, the question asked by Reagan is extremely critical, which is something that only wise politicians can think of.

"Now, only Big Bird 11 is missing. Because the Soviets' technology is still in the experimental stage, only Big Bird 11, which has passed through this area, was hit. However, we have observed simultaneously that the Soviets conducted eight electron beam transmission tests on the Alliance, Salute and the Universe, which shows that the Soviets' progress in this regard is significant. If we do not invest money in research now, we may be behind."

Behind it! Among conventional air defense missiles, the Soviet Union had just experimented with ballistic missile interception not long ago. Although the Soviets used nuclear explosion to destroy it, the United States discovered through strict surveillance that the closest position of the two warheads was less than 100 meters. This is an old missile. If the latest technology is used to improve it, it is possible to increase the distance of ten meters by an order of magnitude. In other words, the interception of ten meters can be done!

Nuclear deterrence during the Cold War was based on secondary deterrence. After suffering nuclear strikes, our side still has the ability to counterattack. The premise of these is that both sides are only hit and not intercepted. In this era, intercepting ballistic missiles is still an unsolvable problem. Technical means are too difficult.

But now, the Soviets are already ahead. If the Soviets not only have advanced ballistic missile technology, but also have extremely advanced capabilities in intercepting ballistic missiles, then the United States will be completely out of the way.

"If we lag behind in these areas, we, the United States, will not be able to hold a protective umbrella for Europe, and our United States' dominance in the West will plummet. Mr. President, I solemnly remind you that you must pay attention to the Soviet Union's anti-missile advantages and the new progress of the Soviets in space." Defense Minister Weinberg said.

As soon as Weinberg came to power, Reagan kept cutting military expenses. Now, Weinberg is extremely depressed, so many people within the military are calling Weinberg a sinner in the army.

And now, there is finally a chance. If the president does not pay attention to the military, the United States will lose its dominance and everything will be lost! All the status laid after World War II will be lost! Once the entire West loses its leader, with a scattered sand and a unique European country, can they still resist the Red Revolution?

I'm afraid it won't take long to put a red flag on the entire West! The glory of capitalism over hundreds of years will be occupied by socialism.

"Yes, Mr. President, it's about our national security." said Poindexter, assistant to National Security Affairs, who had a deep sense of the crisis.

"Then how much investment should we need if we catch up in this regard?" Reagan asked. If he invested too much, he would not be able to afford it.

"It won't be too much, but it needs to be the same as the Manhattan project in the past," William said.

Isn't this called too much? Hearing this, Reagan's face changed.

The Manhattan Project is the original project of developing atomic bombs. In order to create atomic bombs before the Germans and end the abominable war, the "Manhattan" project, which is guided by the military, is astonishingly large in scale. This complex project has become a melting pot of American science and brings together a large number of scientists from all over the world led by Oppenheimer. The number of scientists is unimaginable. In some departments, there are even more people with doctoral titles than ordinary staff, and there are many Nobel Prize winners. This project used 539,000 people at its peak, with a total cost of up to 2.5 billion US dollars!

This was $2.5 billion that year! According to various factors such as inflation, at least $20 billion is required now! This will seriously affect Reagan's economic recovery plan, and may even delay such plans indefinitely.

However, he didn't know that this was just the beginning!

Moscow, the Kremlin, in a secret conference room.

Laughing kept coming, Ustinov, who had always been serious, had a smile on his face at this moment. He looked at Andre who had secretly returned to Moscow and said, "Andre, your plan is really good, and the Americans are really fooled! They are frowning now, discussing whether to invest funds in the bottomless pit particle weapons and laser weapons and other plans."

This is of course a deception plan! The idea of ​​the plan is under the responsibility of Andrei, and the specific implementation is chaired by Marshal Ogalkov, the director of the strategic deception plan. His plan is perfect. (To be continued.)
