Chapter 485: Failed to penetrate enemy armor

“…… emergency, now implement the 041 emergency response plan. ”

“…… Everyone went to wear spacesuits, thirty minutes. ”

“…… Lower the protective plate of the window to protect the landscape window, this time there were large pieces of debris in the impact. ”

“…… Activating the No. 7 blackout procedure to save electricity, we may lose a large area of solar panels. ”

"Reporter Li, Zhang Camera, don't be stunned, come with me, let you leave just now, you don't leave, it's too late to regret it now."

Yang Nianming announced the order loudly, and the others also moved quickly, they had received this kind of training when they were on the ground, so although they were a little shocked and nervous, they also knew what to do.

These two are two space rookies, who would have thought that they could encounter such a thing when they came to space for an interview, and for journalists, I really don't know whether to say it is a good thing or a bad thing.

So seeing that these two were still standing here, Yang Nianming quickly led them to the nearest safe house.

Yang ...... Squad Leader Yang, is it okay for us to do this? Can the space station withstand the impact of a cloud of debris? After sitting down in the safe house, Li Danwen had time to ask Yang Nianming.

"No problem," Yang Nianming said while sorting out her seat belt, "Other space stations will definitely not work, but our arc space station can, if we can't deal with this thing, what kind of permanent spaceport will be built." ”

"That's it, it's estimated that some external facilities will definitely suffer, especially the solar panels, and I don't know how much damage will be done."

"This is incredible," Li Danwen said in surprise.

"It's nothing," Yang Nianming went to tidy up the cameraman's seat belt after tidying her up, and when he saw the camera next to him, he asked, "Is this machine turned off?" ”

"It's off, it was closed when I came in just now." The videographer replied.

"That's okay, there are some things that can't be filmed here, so you can just take a look, don't shoot them."

Yang Nianming sat down himself as he spoke, and also fastened his seat belt.

"That's for sure, the station already told us when we came, and we want to listen to your arrangement." Li Danwen retracted his gaze to the side and said, "Anyway, squad leader Yang, can we only wait for the collision like this?" ”

"Yes, we would have been able to raise and lower the space station to avoid the debris swarm with a few hours' notice, but the discovery was too short to be in time." Yang Nianming turned on the monitor on the wall and continued, "If you want me to say, there should be some defensive weapons on the space station, so that it can also shatter the fragments, but the company didn't install it because it seemed to have to consider the international impact." It's ......impossible to say anything like this when something like this happened this time."

Yang Nianming, who was talking, suddenly saw the strange eyes of the two, and explained, "Cough, this is my own idea, but it is not the company's decision, otherwise I wouldn't have told you, no." ”

The two of them could only smile awkwardly, and Yang Nianming also felt that Xin Qi turned off the video equipment when he came in, otherwise the reporter's mouth, coupled with the video evidence, might say something.

Although they were sent to cooperate, it was better to be careful.

After he turned on the monitor and reconnected with the ground, he found out that according to the debris cloud operation data sent from the ground, there were too many, even if there was a weapon, it couldn't be defeated, and hard resistance became the best choice.

"Two, hold on, get ready for the onslaught in 12 minutes."

Yang Nianming remembered that when they were training, the teacher said that this kind of space station is hard and space junk has not happened before, especially in the past few years, there were two particularly serious ones.

There are several institutions on the earth that specialize in observing space junk, and the largest of them is the radar network of the intercontinental missile defense system of the United States, but not every piece of space junk is closely tracked.

At present, the total number of objects in space has reached nearly 20,000, and this is still the whole, if you count the debris, it is even more, and there are less than 2,000 aircraft that are actually working, which means that those space junk are almost dozens of times more than those of normal working spacecraft.

Although we also have thin air in outer space to slow them down, so that these space junk can be turned into meteors and returned to the earth, the natural consumption of space junk is too slow, and there are still thousands of tons of space junk still in orbit, which is the danger.

At that time, there was only the International Space Station in orbit, and it encountered this situation, the orbit of space junk coincided with the International Space Station, and the ground command center discovered it too late to change the orbit.

All the astronauts on the space station have also gathered and begun to prepare for the worst-case scenario, if it is really irretrievable, then all of them will enter the manned spacecraft and prepare for escape.

This incident was the worst-case outcome, when all the astronauts had already entered the manned spacecraft and were ready to abandon the space station and return to the ground, but fortunately the worst did not happen, and the space junk flew past the ISS, only 200 meters away from the nearest debris of garbage.

After this incident, the space agency raised the orbit of the ISS a lot, trying to prevent this problem from happening for the third time.

But the year before last, it was hit, and that time it was the panoramic observation module of the International Space Station.

A millimeter-sized piece of space junk that could not be tracked at all hit a crater directly into the glass.

Therefore, space junk can only be avoided by changing orbits in advance, and if it can't be avoided, it can only be resisted.

I knew it in advance, so I avoided it, and those two times I didn't know it in advance, and when I knew, it was too late. So I blocked the luck, and the astronauts were all white-faced, and they were lucky not to be hit.

The other was also lucky, the debris that hit it was very small, and only hit one crater.

The sealed cabins of modern space stations are constructed with mesh-shaped monolithic wall panels, and in order to protect against the impact of small space debris and micrometeors, thickened skin is used, and protective plates are added to key parts.

However, because space launch is extremely sensitive to weight, the weight must be light, and due to the cost control, the shell uses various types of aluminum alloy in a large area, although other models of aluminum alloy are being developed in the research and development, but ...... It's still aluminum, not titanium.

Therefore, their protection capacity is also limited, and the protection of small fragments is okay, but once the volume of the impacted object reaches a certain size, such as the size of a fist, the protection is no different from paper.

Of course, arc light aerospace had to learn this kind of lesson, so Dong Chen took out the material formula found in the radiation world, which was the material specially used to build the space station shell in that world at that time.

The painting style of the radiation world has always been so rough, and the way to deal with space junk in the United States is to be tough.

They didn't clean up more and more space junk because space junk is actually a barrier to filter out cats and dogs who want to come up but can't.

If the United States clears the orbit and has a safe space orbit, then any country can go to space, then what absolute status does the United States have.

Other space powers have not cleaned up space junk, so they may also have this kind of consideration.

Although the materials of the universe are infinite, there are only a few materials at the doorstep of the earth.

And decades later in the game, the materials used by the United States to deal with space junk were used by Dong Chen to build the current space station.

When Arc Space released the data on the debris cloud, all the satellites in the shrouded orbit moved in an attempt to get out of danger.

Those who are far away have enough time to change tracks, but those who are close are not far behind, as long as they escape to the edge, they may be safe, and if they are lucky, they will escape from the sparse edge.

And the closest is not them, it is Huaguo's Tiangong space station and the international space station.

Bretta was not satisfied that Arc Space was able to find the debris so quickly, and even more so with the release of the data, but he couldn't help it for the time being.

However, he was very happy when he looked at the live broadcast of the arc light screen that had been black, and he was even happier when he looked at the real-time operation data map provided by the arc space, because the debris cloud above had already come into contact with the Tiangong space station.

But it didn't take long for his smile to freeze on his face, and his emotions began to spiral out of control.

Because after the debris cloud passed through the space station, the signal of the space station still exists.

Just as he was about to say, "It's all fake," the black screen of the live broadcast lit up again.
