Chapter 409: Emergencies

Li Nan immediately became nervous.

"Chairman, let's go to the emergency shelter first."

Huang Haojie nodded.

At the same time, whether it was Ye Haisheng and others who were doing experiments, or Zhang Yunfeng, Liao Qingsong and others in the middle area, they all reacted quickly.

Inside the master control compartment.

The red police lights flashed wildly, and Zhang Yunfeng frowned and looked at the holographic display.

"Head, there's a big problem." Li Xuan, who acted as a monitor of the space station, said hurriedly.

"I know, Li Xuan, you are now monitoring the traces of the debris, learning from you to see the situation and prepare to activate the shield defense." Zhang Yunfeng immediately commanded.

"Roger."

Zhang Yunfeng picked up the communicator: "Qingsong received it, please return." ”

"Liao Qingsong received."

"You go to the upper floor and settle the researchers."

"Then the chairman ......"

"The chairman has his own arrangements and executes orders."

"Roger."

Zhang Yunfeng knew that Huang Haojie was a stand-in robot at this time, and he had nothing to worry about, so he issued an order to the other two staff members on the space station, and they went to the Qinglong-class spaceship.

The emergency refuge module of the new Kaohsiung space station is in the middle area, connected to the berthing area of the Qinglong-class spacecraft, and in the event of a forced situation, they can quickly enter the Qinglong-class spacecraft and escape from the space station.

After a while, 5 scientific researchers and Huang Haojie's stand-in robot appeared in the emergency refuge cabin.

And Liao Qingsong followed closely and arrived here.

"Everyone, please follow the previous safety regulations and put on outer space spacesuits." Liao Qingsong hurriedly said.

"Chairman, you also wear ......"

He suddenly became a little petrified because Huang Haojie opened the robot parts of his arm.

"Don't worry about me, it's a stand-in robot."

"Hehe...... "Didn't you say it earlier, you were really worried about the dead, Liao Qingsong complained in his heart with black lines.

After the scientific researchers were dressed, Liao Qingsong also stayed here, and Huang Haojie floated directly to the general control cabin.

After entering the general control cabin, he saw Zhang Yunfeng, Qin Xuexue, and Li Xuan who were busy.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Chairman, the situation is ......"

……

The timeline rewinds 34 minutes ago, that is, on March 26, 2020, at around 14:21 p.m. Peking time.

At 550 kilometers in the low earth orbit of the Blue Star, an artificial satellite numbered Starlink 66 suddenly lost control and fell towards the Blue Star.

If it is just a fall, it is not enough to make the new Kaohsiung space station like a great enemy.

During the fall of Starlink 66, SpaceX tried to correct the orbit, and as a result, a working Western Union meteorological satellite was reimbursed in the process of correcting the orbit.

You must know that the meteorological satellite of the Xizhou Alliance, which suffered an unwarranted disaster, is a large satellite weighing 14.7 tons.

This moment was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the weather satellite instantly disintegrated from a dozen large wrecks and countless small fragments.

The satellites operating in the nearby orbit are relatively dense, so under the chain reaction, three satellites were destroyed by debris in less than half an hour on 500~450 kilometers of low earth orbit.

Countless satellite debris is frantically slaughtering into low-earth orbit below 500 kilometers, and more than 30,000 pieces of debris with a diameter of 5 centimeters have been detected alone, not to mention those smaller ones.

The consequences are catastrophic, because when a satellite is destroyed, more debris is created, and it is a vicious circle.

The new Kaohsiung space station and the new Pakistan space station have an orbital altitude of about 450 kilometers, so they naturally bear the brunt.

Li Xuan shouted loudly: "There are 14 large fragments in the left orbit flying towards us at high speed, and they are expected to collide with us in 10 minutes." ”

"Again, 14 large pieces of debris are flying towards us at high speed in the left orbit, and they are expected to collide with us in 10 minutes."

"Learn, prepare immediately, activate the shield protection system in five minutes, and the right shield will not be activated for the time being." Zhang Yunfeng calmly commanded.

"Roger." Qin Xue replied seriously.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Meanwhile.

Blue Star's national space agencies also scolded, especially the Xizhou Alliance, which was reimbursed for two satellites, and they are now killing Elon?? Musk's heart is there.

"Mr. Leighton, the situation is very bad, now the entire area below 500 kilometers in low-earth orbit may be attacked by satellite debris at any time, especially the new Kaohsiung space station, the new Pakistan-China space station, the International Space Station, the three behemoths ......" Luke, the head of the satellite monitoring department, did not dare to continue.

Leighton certainly knows the dangers involved, and if the station is destroyed, the sheer size of the debris could turn low-Earth orbit into a dead zone.

Humans will not be able to safely pass through low-Earth orbit for at least the next decade, or will have to launch only in airspace where debris is relatively sparse now.

As soon as he thought of this, Layton couldn't help but squint his eyes, but then he suppressed the guess, after all, he was the person in charge of the Western Space Bureau, and this kind of nonsense without evidence could not be said casually.

Except for the Western Space Administration and the Solar Space Agency, other countries have a very ambiguous attitude towards this space accident.

Not only does he feel that his own satellite may be hit by debris, but he also hopes that the satellites or space stations of other countries, especially the Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium, will be destroyed.

Because they all know that if the space station is destroyed, the huge debris can block the low-earth orbit, so that the mass projectors of Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium are equivalent to being wasted.

They can use this time to develop their space forces, and maybe they can catch up.

NASA, Space Center Houston.

Maxwell frowned as he watched the footage of the geostationary orbit satellite, and the satellite radar tracking the debris.

The screen is densely packed with debris markers, and a large number of trajectory analysis reports.

Dr. Archimedes on the side reminded: "Mr. Mack, the International Space Station may be ......"

"I know, but what can we do?" Maxwell said with an ugly face.

"......" Archimedes was speechless.

The launch of the Boeing spacecraft into orbit in December last year was a failure, and now the control procedures are being revised and a full review is being reconducted.

As for Elon?? Musk's "Dragon spacecraft" was even more tragic during its launch in January this year, when the launch vehicle engine went out of control and the fuel tank blew the entire spacecraft into slag.

Now they can't count on it, as for asking for help from the Woolly Bear Space Agency? They are also helpless, and the trouble with the launch vehicle is that the preparation time is too long.

When they are ready to launch the rocket, the astronauts on the ISS will be cool.

The only way to save the astronauts on the ISS is to turn to the Space Development Commission for help.

"Oh buy karma!"

"A lot of debris rushed towards the new Kaohsiung space station."

The personnel of the satellite monitoring department suddenly exclaimed.

Maxwell, Archimedes and others hurriedly zoomed in on the picture of the new Kaohsiung space station through satellite monitoring, and suddenly a very clear picture appeared in front of everyone.

Maxwell even saw a huge piece of the wreckage of one of the satellites, which was rapidly crashing into the new Kaohsiung space station.

"It seems that the new Kaohsiung space station is in danger." Dr. Archimedes said with some concern, although the Mi Li family and the Eastern Tang-Galactic Alliance did not deal with each other, it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would die.
