A general in army uniform asked, "If debris is generated on a large scale, especially after the destruction of the Tiangong space station, more debris will it definitely be generated, will it attack our satellites and cause our satellites to lose contact?" Without the support of satellites, our army will be very dangerous. ”

The general looked at Victor and waited for his answer.

"Generals, gentlemen from other departments, you are not studying the field of astronautics, so you know a little bit about this." Victor sorted out the language and said, "The plot of the film is indeed exaggerated, the director came to us during the filming process to ask for technical guidance, and after determining the feasibility, he magnified the crisis, so there is that scene in the movie." ”

"In fact, it is also a small probability event that these space debris hit the space station, and it may only happen once in a year or more, and even if there is an emergency, it may not be able to hit something."

As some military generals, even if they know some, their knowledge is limited, and as a person from the space agency, his role is this, so Victor is obliged to convey some basic understanding to them.

After all, when the time comes to submit the report of the meeting, everyone still needs to sign it, and such a big plan also needs careful cooperation, and maybe everyone will be questioned separately, he doesn't want to offend anyone.

Some reports often say how many satellites there are in space, and it sounds like a downtown area, and you always feel that scratching incidents will occur if you are not careful.

However, the density of satellites in space is not as dense as we think, and different satellites operate in different orbits and altitudes, so the possibility of such a chain reaction is actually very small.

Victor simply found a clipboard and explained it to them while drawing simple diagrams.

“…… Communication satellites generally operate in geostationary orbit and are more than 30,000 kilometers away from the earth, while the space station is only about 400 kilometers above the earth. ”

“…… After the satellite is shattered, most of the debris will still remain in its original orbit and revolve around the earth, which is why we need to hit a satellite in a specific orbit to attack the Tiangong space station, and this process still needs to go through a lot of calculations. ”

“…… In the process of human space exploration, a lot of garbage will be generated, such as the last stage of rockets, waste satellites, waste spacecraft, waste space stations, etc. But in the vastness of space, if you want to rely on natural probability to hit the aircraft, that probability is very small. ”

“…… Unless, it is artificial. ”

“…… And we know the plan in advance, so after we calculate the accurate impact orbit, we can change the orbit of the satellites in our nearby orbit in advance to keep them away from the vicinity of that orbit, so that we can ensure safety. ”

If it is destroyed casually, then there is no need to play with the human space industry.

In the history of human spaceflight, there has only been one incident of satellite collision with satellite, but the threat of space junk to artificial spacecraft has gradually emerged, but they do not affect the present, but affect the future.

After all, if the space junk is not disposed of, it will gather more and more, and maybe one day it will really be given to you in the movie that swept thousands of troops.

"That is, satellites of other countries near this orbit could be hit?" Another general asked with interest.

"Yes, if the debris is spread out large enough, it is very likely. However, this is carefully calculated, and these satellites are also added to the final calculations, because if they are affected, then the debris produced is also a threat. Victor explained.

Hearing Victor's affirmation, a general with a gloomy face said, "Then can we try to spread the debris as wide as possible, and then destroy as many satellites of other countries as possible, and even some of our abandoned satellites can be thrown in and destroyed, I think this is a very good opportunity, not only to eliminate our suspicions, but also to hit the opponent as much as possible." ”

His words resonated with a lot of generals.

Although they are still the boss of this world, with the successive development of the countries behind, their rights have been more and more restricted, and in this era, it is impossible to fight a big war.

To be honest, I'm used to being the first, but now I'm restricted by the little brother behind, and I can imagine my unhappiness.

"No, this absolutely not."

Victor knew what they were thinking, so he seriously refused, because the consequences were too serious.

"It's too dangerous, the situation in the universe is much more complicated than we think, and our calculations and simulations can't be 100% correct, so we have to try to narrow down the scope of influence and minimize the probability of accidents."

"Unilateral sniping of the Tiangong space station is already the limit of what we can do, if we want to expand the range of debris attacks, it is too easy to get out of control, and the International Space Station is not far from the orbit of the Tiangong space station, only a few tens of kilometers, and a careless scene will really appear in the movie."

"When the earth's orbit is full of spacecraft debris and space junk, no one will want to fly out of the earth again, and all we can do is wait for death on the earth!"

The more Victor speaks, the more stern he becomes, it's like going back to lecturing to the students when he was a teacher, about the rigor of technology, and the knock-on effect is terrible when danger occurs.

At that time, I just took out the danger probability and amplified it, so that they could remember it for a long time.

It's just that I didn't expect that today's group of soldiers actually planned to do it in this direction.

Noticing the change in Victor's mood, Lieutenant General Carter, who was presiding over the meeting, coughed and said, "Ahem, Deputy Director Victor is right, we all know the dangerous situation here, space is too far away from us, and it is really difficult to control something in time, so we will solve the matter of the Tiangong space station first, and talk about other combat plans later." ”

Victor also noticed, he put down the pen in his hand with some embarrassment and returned to his seat and said, "Since the task has been determined, then I will go down immediately to arrange the simulation calculation task, but we need the assistance of the National Supercomputer Center, because the calculation of this task will be very large." ”

"No problem, I'll call after the meeting and ask that side cooperate with you." Carter said, "Any more questions?" ”

"We don't have anything here," Victor replied.

Carter looked at the others, and the generals said it was all right, but Bretta, from the Tactical Technology Division, had a question.

"I think our plan also needs the assistance of Musk's spaceflight, and we need his manned spacecraft to conduct an unloaded test flight when we start the mission, and then dock to the International Space Station for a stay experiment."

"Why?" Kata asked. ”

Bretta paused and said, "One is to further indicate that we are on other missions, creating an alibi." Second, just in case, if things develop beyond our control, we must evacuate the personnel stationed on the International Space Station as soon as possible and let them return to Earth safely, after all, the lives of astronauts are still very precious. ”

"What about the astronauts and space workers on the Tiangong space station?" Victor asked with some hesitation.

Bretta glanced at him and said, "Hehe, they are not citizens of our country, they don't pay taxes for us, they don't contribute to us, they are not even our allies. ”

"I think we don't need to be responsible for their safety, what they want to find should be their motherland, that is, Huaguo."

"Blame them, blame them for being born in the wrong country."
