Soon.

The "Salvage Plan" submitted by the Xia National Space Agency was approved by the above.

They expect to launch an Yuanzheng-11 solid rocket with the "Survey No. 1" space catcher to bring the small satellite back to the ground between October 20 and November 15.

And the entire "salvage" cost is about 50 million.

Of course, this cost is only a drop in the bucket compared to the potential value of the small satellite of the steel country, and the price paid is quite small.

The leaders and experts of the Xia National Space Administration are looking forward to bringing the small satellite back to the ground, organizing capable forces, and conducting a good study in the hope of making significant gains.

Just imagine, if Xia Guo mastered the technology of miniaturization of high-frequency short-wave transmitters, in the military field, it would be possible to develop short-wave radars that are difficult for potential hostile forces to interfere with, so as to gain a military advantage in slaughtering the opponent in a possible war.

Just imagine, if Xia Guo masters more advanced signal distribution/control technology and applies it to the field of civil communications, not to mention 5G communication technology in the future, it will not be too difficult to talk about 5G communication technology, that is, 6G, 10G, 50G, and 100G communication technology.

Just imagine, if Xia Guo masters the high-energy battery technology with a conservative energy density of 100 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, the future Xia Kingdom will immediately become the global energy hegemon and grasp the survival lifeblood of the entire human race, and the next world hegemon to replace the Stars and Stripes can only be Xia Guo!

Therefore, the five-kilogram small satellite of Gangbia has placed almost infinite expectations on these leaders and experts, contains countless interests, and even determines the geopolitical pattern of the future world.

They can't take it too seriously.

However, it is one thing for these leaders and experts to be full of expectations.

But things don't necessarily go the way they want them to.

……

October 17th.

The small country of Black Continent, Gangbia.

Through the news from the foreign department, the 47-year-old President Arrow learned of a situation.

"Xia Guo said that our first space satellite in Gangbia has expired and has been scrapped?"

"And Xia's space agency recently plans to do a space science experiment, preparing to bring my country's first space satellite back to the ground."

"The reason why we chose our satellite is because the size and orbit of the satellite are very suitable, and it is also to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in the field of space, and we hope to obtain our consent."

Hear here.

Ah Luo's brows furrowed, and his expression was very displeased.

He didn't think much of it, so he waved his hand and refused: "No! Don't touch my satellite, that's my country's strategic weapon in space! Can't bring it back to the ground! ”

If he is brought back to the ground, accidentally known by the people of Gambia, and sees the true face of the so-called "strategic weapon", how can he still fool around?

Can you sit down steadily under your buttocks?

Besides, in front of the people, he has already said very much, saying that strategic weapons can be deployed in space for at least a million years, and during the deployment period, no country will dare to provoke Gambia.

But it's only been three months, what does it mean that the people of Xia Guo want to take it down?

Well, it is true that the small satellite has become the so-called space junk, but it is still a strategic weapon in the hearts of most Gambians.

It is still a strategic weapon in his Ah Luo's heart.

So can't move!

Don't take it down!

To do space science experiments, go to find satellites of other countries, don't fight the idea of Gambia, don't fight the idea of Gambia's "national treasure"!

In short, that small satellite must not be taken down.

……

The news was transmitted back to the Xia Kingdom.

“？？？”

The leaders and experts of the space agency are all black lines at one end, and they look like they have been thundered.

Space junk, strategic weapons, national treasures

They really couldn't imagine that President Arrow of Gambia would associate these words.

After a little discussion and analysis, they immediately understood Arrow's concerns.

"On the side of Gangbia, he may not know the value of small satellites, and he may not even have seen the real objects of small satellites, but he has to do such an operation in order to enhance the needs of public support."

"The reason why I am afraid that the satellite will be taken down is also because I am afraid of revealing the stuffing and being exposed to the facts."

"In this way, we give them a guarantee: space science experiments will be carried out under confidential conditions, avoid leaking any information to the outside world, and guarantee that not a single photo or video will be transmitted, so they can rest assured!"

In fact, considering the value of small satellites, they originally planned to secretly recover small satellites and include them in the highest level of secrecy.

It's just that these words of assurance have no effect, and the Gambia side still refuses, and even sternly warns: It is not allowed to use the slightest strategic weapon of Gambia.

Now the leaders and experts had a headache, and they didn't expect things to be so difficult to handle.

One of the experts even opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be ...... On the side of Gangbia, it is clear that the actual value of small satellites is indeed the so-called 'strategic weapon'? ”

"Impossible!"

Wu Wanzhou immediately retorted: "I heard that young man say that it is just an ordinary communication satellite, just used to say 'hello' to the universe, it is impossible to have the function of a so-called strategic weapon, a small object of five kilograms, it cannot be so exaggerated!" ”

"Wu Lao is right, the situation in Gangbia, we have already investigated clearly, there are few people in the country who know the goods, including A Luo, what he cares about is not whether the satellite is in the sky, but whether the position under the ass can sit firmly."

"In my opinion, verbal guarantees are useless, and some substantial benefits must be presented to impress Arrow, so I will send a report to the top and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help solve this problem."

Director Yang Wei said.

Although his meaning is very vague, everyone understands what it means, it is nothing more than throwing money.

……

"What? Xia Guo said that he could give us 10 million in economic aid to improve our infrastructure? The condition is that the two countries cooperate to capture small satellites and abandon strategic weapons? No way! Our strategic weapons are priceless and worth at least a trillion! ”

"Financial aid can be increased to 30 million? Gangbia is a big country, is there a lack of such money? ”

"In addition, I will be personally subsidized with an additional 20 million yuan to improve the living conditions of the presidential palace, with a total of 50 million yuan, which is ...... This...... You promise that you will keep it secret, and you will pay one billion in compensation if something happens? Well, space cooperation between the two countries, I reluctantly agree. ”

A Luo finally compromised, 20 million yuan, equivalent to 3 million star knives, is really not a small amount of money, of course, if all 50 million yuan goes into his personal pocket, the amount will be even more considerable.

As for Gambia's national treasure, the space strategic weapon, it is just a space junk, and it is more real than a fancy bill in the pocket, and smart people will choose it.

In this way, the goal of the Xia National Space Agency has been achieved.

Next, they just need to wait for the right time, choose the appropriate launch window, and launch the "Sky Survey 1".

……

It's at this critical juncture.

Lin Guoming suddenly received a call from the Gambia Embassy...... The person who made this call was his acquaintance Daura Keba, who was the deputy ambassador of the Gambia embassy and could speak Xia fluently, Lin Guoming invited him to dinner many times, and also stuffed him with a lot of money, and the relationship between the two sides was very good.

However, Daura Kaiba's call this time was a "sealed" phone, because Lin Guoming knew too much about the small satellite, in order to avoid him from doing bad things, under the instruction of A Luo, all those in the know, it is best to know each other, keep their teeth closed, and keep their mouths tight.

"What?"

Lin Guoming was taken aback, what the hell was going on, why did he suddenly seal his mouth?

He hurriedly knocked on the side, patiently asked, and lured the benefits to find out a rather shocking news.

His Majesty's annunciator actually attracted the attention of the Xia National Space Agency, and they planned to "fish" the announcer back to the ground for scientific experiments.

"Not good! It's going to be bad! A phone call must be made and His Majesty Rivey must be informed immediately! ”

Lin Guoming sighed in his heart, and quickly took out his mobile phone.
