Chapter 1556: "Sowing" Plan!
"Base, base, I am Leshen, I am Leshen, I have entered the designated orbit, the external environment meets the conditions for the release of satellites, please do you implement the 'seeding' plan." Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the ground, in the hall of the Shuiquan Satellite Base, the communication sound from the "Le Shen" sounded clearly, and when they heard this voice, the hall naturally couldn't help but exclaim. And this scene was naturally broadcast in real time through CCTV's broadcast.
The "Sowing" program is a small branch of the "Lunar Plan", the main content of which is to rebuild the network of space satellites. Many countries with well-developed satellite networks, including China, China, Russia, and island countries, have participated in this plan. The previous satellites of these countries were destroyed by the spaceships of the Sending Star Civilization in the first round of attacks, so they urgently need to have their own satellites again in space, without satellites, they are like blind people!
The speed of building a satellite is very fast, and compared with the cost of launching a rocket, the cost of a satellite is not much, but if you want to form a complete satellite network at a time, you need not as simple as one or two, at least dozens of them. Combined, the satellites of these dozen or so countries are hundreds! With so many satellites, if you rely on rockets to launch little by little, you don't know how long it will take! You must know that although the current rocket technology is very mature, every time it is ready for launch, it still consumes a lot of human and material resources.
When they learned of the "Le Shen" plan to "go to the moon," many countries thought of launching satellites through the "Luna," which was a method that saved both effort and time. The only question is whether the Le Shen has the ability to launch multiple satellites at once. You know, launching in space, although you don't need to prepare as many rockets as you do on the ground, it's not an easy thing either.
Ordinary people may think that launching a satellite in space is an easy task. They have already flown to the altitude of the designated orbit, and the next thing to do is to throw the satellite out of the spacecraft, wouldn't it be good? What's so hard about that? But this is not the case at all!
First of all, it is not a trivial matter to stop on the designated track. The spacecraft flew out of the Earth's atmosphere, still moving at an average speed at high speed. Friends who know a little bit of physics know that in the gravityless environment of space, basically if there is no external force involved, this movement will not stop. To stop it, you need the engine to push it back, slow it down or even stop!
Those who like to watch sci-fi blockbusters can often see such scenes in movies. The astronauts wore thick spacesuits and walked in outer space. On their bodies, there will often be some smoke spewed out. These fumes are actually small jet engines mounted on them. In space, if you want to change the original orbit, you can only rely on the action force and the reaction force. At least in the technology that humans now have, that's the case!
And the volume and mass of the "Leshen" are so large that it is even more difficult to stop such a behemoth from a state of high-speed motion. The amount of energy required and the difficulty of the operation are much higher than that of an ordinary astronaut!
Secondly, releasing multiple satellites at a time in space is not a simple matter, it is definitely not as ordinary people imagine, the satellite can be "thrown" out, the timing of release, the adjustment after release, etc., all require a high degree of professionalism, and high precision is required, almost nothing!
This is also why, when the staff of the Shuiquan Ground Command Center heard this, they actually began to celebrate. Because this means that the Le Shen has completed the most difficult level to overcome, successfully hovering in the designated orbit!
On the "Leshen", a group of top scientists, including Cheng An and others, as well as the operators of hundreds of spaceships, were all in great shock at the moment!
They originally thought that for a giant like "Leshen" to stop in space, it would take a huge amount of energy and a huge vibration, but they were completely wrong, the whole process from high speed to stationary took less than a minute, and the whole process was very quiet!
"Oh my God, what kind of engine is this? How can it have such excellent performance? Seeing that the "Le Shen" stopped so lightly, Cheng An groaned in his heart and said. Only a professional like him knows the meaning of the scene just now!
"Le Shen" can carry out the seeding plan, I wish you success!
On the ground, the firm and powerful voice of the commander-in-chief came from the Shuiquan Launch Center, which represented the official start of the "seeding" plan!
At the same time, countless pairs of eyes on the ground watched this scene through the screen! On the huge hull of the "Leshen", there are high-definition cameras everywhere, and the scene of launching satellites can be broadcast live in real time. And this is also the highlight of CCTV live broadcast!
The "Le Shen" was silently suspended in the dark universe, and a moment later, a small hatch opened in the hull.
In fact, this door is about 60 meters wide and more than 20 meters high.
There are 685 large and small hatches on the "Leshen", and the use of different functions is also different, this hatch can only be regarded as one of the medium-sized hatches, mainly for cargo spacecraft to enter and exit!
The hatch opened, and a cargo ship slowly flew out of it. The spaceship as a whole is roughly in the shape of a cuboid like the Leshen, but if you look closely, you will see that the spacecraft is not a regular cuboid, and its long and wide cross-section is full of various uneven shapes, and it looks like steel bars are glued to it.
Of course, such a design is definitely not for the sake of novelty, but purely for practical application. This spacecraft was named "Hercules", which is the most basic cargo spacecraft on the "Leshen", and it is also the main model. Each spaceship is nearly 100 meters long and more than 30 meters wide, and the huge space inside can store up to 100,000 tons of cargo.
Yu Fei is from the Army Aviation Regiment of the Jinling Military Region and is a special-grade pilot in the regiment. Half a year ago, he received a secret mission and came to the secret base in Sichuan Province to receive new flight training, at first he was still wondering why the content of the training was completely different from usual, but it was not until later that he realized that he was receiving spaceship pilot training!
This once made him excited for a long time, after all, it is every pilot's dream to be able to fly a space fighter and fly freely in the vast universe. Although later, he learned that he was only piloting a cargo spaceship, which made him a little disappointed, but after seeing his spaceship "Hercules", this disappointment was quickly thrown aside by him!
"Hercules" is really too powerful, too bullish! Where is this spaceship? It's simply an aircraft carrier!
Yu Fei still can't forget the first time he piloted this Big Mac for flight training over the base, it was so shocking that he will never forget!
And now, Yu Fei's heart is even more excited! Because this is his first space mission! When he saw the magnificent beauty of space outside the porthole, he even had the urge to shout!
However, the good attitude he has developed after countless training sessions has allowed him to control his emotions well. He calmly slowed down the spacecraft, adjusted its attitude, opened the hatch and activated the release device......
Through the high-definition camera, it can be clearly seen that the belly of the "Hercules" spacecraft piloted by Yu Fei suddenly opened a hatch, and then hundreds of satellites were all "poured out" like dumplings!
Seeing this scene, whether it was the scientists who did not know the "seeding" plan, or the people who were ordinary melon-eaters, they were all dumbfounded at the moment.
"Isn't it, it's that simple to launch a satellite? How does this look a bit like an airplane dropping a bomb! One of the guys, who was munching on meat muffins and leisurely lying on the sofa in his living room watching the live broadcast, muttered to himself a little incomprehensibly. Directly in front of him, everything in the living room has disappeared, leaving only the vast universe, giving people the feeling that he is in the universe at this moment. However, for this scene, this netizen seems to have become commonplace, ultra-real 3D technology has been available for more than two years, from the shock at the beginning, to the adaptation later, and then to the habitual, I have to say that the acceptance of the Chinese people is getting faster and faster!
Looking at this huge "Hercules", throwing out hundreds of satellites like laying eggs, this cargo still doesn't understand, is it so simple to launch satellites?
But the next moment, he and many netizens who were watching the live broadcast let out an exclamation in unison!
I saw that in their sight, not long after leaving the "Hercules" spacecraft, those satellites flew away from their original positions as if they had independent consciousness, like industrious little bees, flying to their respective posts!
"Incredible, incredible, this ...... How is this done? Looking at the scene in front of him, Academician Cheng An, who was still in the command hall of the "Leshen", couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Cheng Yuan, we have installed a small super engine on each satellite, and at the same time installed a remote control program on it. In this way, when the satellites are launched, the super engine is activated and will push the satellites into the designated orbit. At the same time, the super engine installed on it automatically goes into standby, and when we need to change the orbit of the satellite, we only need to remotely control it on the ground, and it can be easily done! Seeing Cheng An's doubts and shock, a staff member who was operating beside him explained with a smile!
Many of these people are also from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so they naturally recognize Cheng An. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have let Cheng An stay in this central command room with a team of scientists. You must know that this place controls the flight of the entire "Le Shen", and idle people are not allowed to enter.
"Beidou-1 is in place, the communication is normal, the functional modules in the satellite are tested normally, and the orbit is normal!"
"Beidou-2 is in place, the communication is normal, the functional modules in the satellite are tested normally, and the orbit is normal!"
"Beidou-3 is in place, the communication is normal, the test of each functional module in the satellite is normal, and the orbit is normal!"
……
At the Shuiquan Satellite Observation Center, staff members continue to report strings of data. In just a few tens of seconds, all 108 "Beidou" satellites have been put in place and have begun to work according to the program. And on the ground, the signals from these satellites have also been received one after another!
A full 108 satellites form the new "Beidou" system! Compared with the previous "Beidou" system, this new system is more than ten times stronger than the original in terms of scale and function! And one hundred and eight satellites were launched at a time, which is also the country that has launched the most satellites in this "seeding" plan.
Even in the United States, in order to restore the "GPS" satellite system, it has only launched more than 50 satellites, and Russia is even more pitiful, with only more than 30 satellites. Such a quantity is only enough to complete the basic monitoring work, which is more than a little bit worse than the "Beidou" system.
However, this is also a matter of no choice, Huaxia has a lot of money, and in the last round of the attack of the Pai Xing civilization, there was almost no loss. The United States is different, tens of millions of people have died, the direct economic losses are hundreds of billions, and the indirect economic losses are more than one trillion. The price of launching a satellite is not low, coupled with the serious economic pressure it is facing, it is unprecedented that the United States can launch more than 50 satellites at one time this time. As for Russia, needless to say, although the polar bear still looks very strong, the domestic economy is already in tatters, and it is a miracle that it can survive. More than 30 launches at a time, which is still the premise that it promised to provide many precious mineral resources and technical support for Leshen Group!
As for the island countries, stick countries, the United Kingdom and other countries with worse strength, the number of satellites launched is even less, generally in the form of one or twenty, and some even only a few! Their economic strength is worse than that of these countries, and naturally they are not capable of launching more satellites!
And seeing this scene, ordinary people are naturally amazed, but after those scientists and military experts from big countries saw it, their hearts sank!
These are hundreds of satellites weighing several tons! Looking at the way they changed their tracks lightly just now, it was like they had life! If such a bulky satellite can do this, what about something lighter?
For example - nuclear warheads?
In fact, as soon as the super engine of Leshen Group was successfully developed, some people thought of this possibility, but now they have seen it with their own eyes, which confirms their idea even more!
