In the new century, mankind's competition in space is intensifying, and on the one hand, the United States has increased its own input, and on the other hand, it has obstructed the development of other countries and monitored the launch of satellites by other countries, just as they have done on the earth. Pen & Fun &www.biquge.info Ge Jork is NASA's official in charge of monitoring outer space, with a focus on Chinese and Russian satellites.

At present, among the more than 800 satellites in orbit, there are more than 400 in the United States, accounting for more than half. With these satellites, the United States can not only monitor the earth, but also effectively monitor space, in recent years, the aircraft launched by Huaxia are basically under the monitoring of the United States.

For the monitoring of the United States, Lu Yang took it into account when deploying the "Open Heaven" space-based weapon system, and through Pangu's simulation, Lu Yang was able to make the "Open Heaven" avoid surveillance. However, Lu Yang's consideration was not thorough, using this method, "Kaitian" can avoid the surveillance of satellites in orbit, but it is very likely to be discovered by aircraft flying to outer space.

It's like this time......

Jork was looking at the image he had just sent back from a lunar probe, showing a satellite he had never seen before. Judging by the size, the satellite's solar sail is 40 meters long, and the satellite itself is not small. Moreover, there is no mark on the satellite, and he cannot tell which country it belongs to.

"Could it be that it was launched by Huaxia?" Jork thought to himself, but soon he dismissed the suspicion. Several major satellite launch centers in China are closely monitored by the United States, and even Huaxia does not have the ability to launch such a large satellite into space quietly.

Jork guessed whether it would be a polar bear. However, he immediately denied that polar bears have the ability to launch, but they do not have the economic conditions. Jork thought about all the countries that could launch satellites, but there was still no result.

"Jones, what do you think this satellite is for?" Mr. Jork asked his assistant, Dr. Jones, who was an expert on satellites and had a lot of experience.

Dr. Jones looked at the picture carefully and shook his head: "I can't judge based on this picture alone. Moreover, judging the function of the satellite in this way is inherently a very risky thing. I think the most important thing now is to find out who this particular satellite belongs to. ”

"We need more pictures...... "Jork agrees.

Half an hour later, three satellites used for space reconnaissance in the United States captured a clear picture of "Kaitian", and the picture was transmitted back to NASA, and Jork and Jones were immediately stunned.

"Professor, this is not an ordinary satellite, but a weapon platform!" Dr. Jones was shocked when he saw the launch system of the "Open Sky".

After a brief moment of shock, Jork's face darkened, and he agreed with Dr. Jones's judgment that this satellite was clearly different from other satellites, especially its launch system......

"This must be the space-based weapon system of the Huaxia people!" Jork immediately made a judgment that if it was an ordinary satellite, Jork would not dare to draw such a conclusion, after all, there are many countries that can launch satellites. But if it's a space-based weapon, it's different. On Earth, in addition to the United States, only Huaxia has the ability, strength, and need to deploy space-based weapons, although he still doesn't know how Huaxia completed the deployment.

"Oh my God, when will Huaxia deploy space-based weapons into space right under our noses, and it's just above our country?" Jones stared at the picture with an unacceptable expression.

Jork sorted out the photos sent back by the satellite, shook his head and said: "I don't know how the Huaxia people did it, but apart from them, no other country has such ability." Jones, I'm going to report this to the White House right away, and the rest is not our business. ”

That evening, the White House received the news, and Ao Guanhai held a meeting overnight, bringing together relevant NASA personnel and government and military personnel to discuss the issue of space-based weapons. Without outsiders' knowledge, the Pentagon has been sped up.

"Professor Jork, please tell us what you know." After the meeting began, Ao Guanhai said in a deep voice.

Jork nodded, and turned on the huge monitor in the middle of the room, on which the photos taken by the satellite appeared.

"President, and other gentlemen, these are a few photos that NASA received this afternoon, and the photos show an unfamiliar satellite in orbit over our country. The first image was taken by a lunar explorer as it flew away from Earth, and then we took it with other reconnaissance satellites to get a clearer picture. As shown in the picture, from these photos, I judge from my professional experience that this is a space-based weapon launch platform...... "Jork elaborated on his findings and ideas.

In addition to O'Guanhai and the main ministers of the cabinet, there were also representatives of the military, and its head was Admiral Martin, who was also the person in charge of the United States space war.

"Admiral Martin, do you agree with Professor Jork's judgment?" Okuguanhai asked.

Admiral Martin looked at the picture carefully, and said with a very bad face: "I think there is a 99% probability that Professor Jork's conclusion will be concluded. This satellite is seven points similar to the Scepter of God that we are deploying, and its launch system is very obvious. ”

Ao Guanhai slapped the table hard: "Damn, did the Huaxia people go in front of us again?" ”

The thought of Huaxia deploying terrifying space-based weapons over the United States, everyone here shuddered, this is simply the sword of Damocles of reality. Although there are no space-based weapons that have been actually combated, if you think about it, you can also know that this kind of strategic weapon, which is equivalent to the destructive power of nuclear weapons, is absolutely not something that the missile defense system of the United States can intercept. In other words, if there is a war between the United States and China, China can carry out a devastating blow to the mainland of the United States at any time!

Why is the United States able to dominate the earth, isn't it because it can hit others, but others can't hit it? With military bases and allies all over the world, the United States has built a global missile defense system, even if it is China and the polar bear, it is easy to threaten the United States, this is the confidence of the United States. But now, Huaxia's space-based weapons have been deployed above their heads, can the United States still be able to guarantee its own safety?

"Admiral Martin, have we completed the deployment of space-based weapons?" Ao Guanhai asked again.

Admiral Martin said in a deep voice: "The satellite platform has been deployed, but the launch power and guidance problems have not been solved, and the deployment cannot be completed in the short term." ”

"Damn, is this the result of more than ten years spent by the United States and 30 billion US dollars?" Ao Guanhai couldn't help but be angry, "Our country's space technology has always been the most advanced, and the annual allocation is also the largest, but why let Huaxia deploy space-based weapons first?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Admiral Martin's face, and he really had nothing to say in the face of Ao Guanhai's accusations.

"President, maybe we don't have to worry so much, whether Huaxia's space-based weapons have actual combat capabilities is still unknown." Admiral Martin argued.

"Admiral, and all of you, I can't pin the fate of the rice country on this possibility." Ao Guanhai glanced at him and said to everyone, "Regardless of whether Huaxia's space-based weapons are deployed or not, the result is the same, and the security of the United States must be in our own hands." Admiral Martin, I want you to come up with a plan within three days to eliminate this threat! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Lu Yang didn't know that the "Open Heaven" space-based weapon had been discovered by the Mi people, and he didn't know that the Mi people were planning to destroy it. If he knew, he would definitely not be able to inspect the domestic desalination plant with the people of the Oceanic Administration so leisurely.

The next day, Lu Yang announced the acquisition of a factory in Tianjin that produced seawater desalination equipment, which is a state-owned enterprise under the Oceanic Administration, which is not large in scale and not advanced in technology.

This equipment factory was merged into Tianxin Marine Development Company, a new company established last year. The general manager of the company is Xiong Wenbo, 45 years old, graduated from Huaxia Ocean University. Xiong Wenbo originally owned a company engaged in the development of marine resources, which was acquired by Lu Yang last year. After Lu Yang's investigation, this person had quite unique insights into the development of marine resources and had a good management level, so he hired him as the general manager of Tianxin Marine Development Company.

Seawater desalination is Tianxin Marine's first major project, but it is definitely not the only one. Modern people know that the resources contained in the ocean far exceed those on land, and its development is related to the future of mankind. According to Xiong Wenbo's design, marine biological resources, chemical resources, seabed mineral resources, and marine energy are all within the business scope of Tianxin Marine Development Company.

In Tianjin, Xiong Wenbo, in his capacity as general manager of Tianxin Marine Development Company, announced that the company will build five large-scale desalination plants in Tianjin in the next two years, which can meet the water needs of both Beijing and Tianjin. As soon as the news came out, Tianxin Marine Development Company suddenly became the focus of attention across the country.

"Mr. Xiong, does your company belong to Tianxin Group?" A reporter asked.

"I'm sure everyone can guess that."

"When was your company founded? Is Tianxin Group going to enter the marine development? ”

"Tianxin Marine Development Company was established last year, and our first project was the Sand Desalination Project. I believe some friends should have heard that Sand Desalination Company has adopted our technology, and the output has increased by 3 times in just one year. ”

……

After this press conference, Xiong Wenbo became a celebrity in China, and the expansion of Tianxin Group was also talked about. (To be continued.) )
