"The solar panels are turned on and the lithium battery supply is being turned off."

"The high-sensitivity lens is poking out, and the radar ship asks the commander for the detection range and coordinates."

"This is Akula, and Plan 1 has been teleported."

"I'm Qin Feng, and the satellite first self-examines the surrounding environment to confirm whether the current orbit is safe."

"The radar ship received it and is opening the attitude adjustment nozzle, ready to change the trajectory at any time."

……

There was a short and palpitating silence, and now the display screen was full of strings of data that made people look at it, and the detection dragonfly could not fly that high, and the camera was only pre-mounted on the rocket body, and it was impossible to add it to the satellite to occupy a valuable load. Therefore, the people in the submarine are equivalent to a black eye, and only the technical specialists in the radar ship can read the situation of the satellite at the moment from the constantly updated data.

But after all, it is not as intuitive and simple as the picture.

The higher you stand, the farther you look, this sentence only applies to the observation of the two sides of the satellite to the earth and space, and for the sides of it, it is the same as a person standing on the sea level, which seems to be able to see far away, but in fact the distance is limited.

Qin Feng pinned his hopes on this limited distance, and the satellite would not be able to see a single alien insect. Correspondingly, the swarm did not know that such a small man-made object had come to the vastness of space, so that it could gain a precious window of time for the satellite to conduct a large-scale physical examination of the planet.

If the satellite plunges headlong into the colony of the swarm in low-Earth orbit, then the time and effort will be like a drift, splashing a few small splashes and no sound.

"The direction of the high-sensitivity lens is facing the sun, and it is paused to turn on, waiting for the satellite to naturally shift."

"Understood! The current attitude change rate is 0.05 deg/s. ”

When the attitude angle reaches 0.4 degrees between a few breaths, the hot and scorching sunlight finally no longer looks at the precise lens, and at the same time, the data on the ground display recedes for a moment, and bright light begins to scatter outward from the screen.

The large, translucent curved body took up almost a third of the screen, and to its right was a vast void, a little too bright for the people in the submarine to get used to.

Soon people will be able to distinguish that the huge arc is the vast land where everyone lives, and the appearance of the earth seems to be coated with a layer of brilliance, which is far from the blue sphere that people remember seeing on TV as a child, only in terms of color.

The human eye needs to adjust to the process of adaptation, but the machine does not, and the main system has quickly analyzed every millimeter of the camera in the original sequence, and each millimeter corresponds to an area of 71,400 square meters, which is about the size of 10 football fields.

"No insects!"

I don't know how long I waited with bated breath, but an exclamation suddenly sounded on the radar ship, and soon, the submarine exchanged opinions on this phenomenon with the water remote sensing center thousands of miles away.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the radar ship was reporting to the Supreme Commander the results of the technicians' analysis.

"There is no problem with the Cosmos-2437 eye sensor and we can be sure of the authenticity of the images it has just transmitted and is transmitting. The wavelength of the cosmic background also conforms to the past law of the wavelength of the real universe. ”

Qin Feng's personal computer projected the upper half of the body of a middle-aged officer in a straight uniform and a soft naval cap. The latter is trying to dispel commanders' doubts about whether the space images are being interfered with, or even seen by electromagnetic incursions.

The middle-aged officer continued, "Your satellite can be sure that it is in a vacuum of swarm forces, according to our calculations of the radius of the earth plus the thickness of the atmosphere, it is impossible for the swarm to surround the entire outer space of the earth with their army, if they are really that large, then the day of arrival alone can cover the world's land and sea 2-3 layers thick." Therefore, Your Excellency the Supreme Commander, we are sure that your satellite is lucky. ”

Qin Feng didn't bother too much about this long-awaited result, and almost as soon as the officer's voice fell, he ordered the camera to be aimed at the earth.

At the same time, the remote sensing monitoring system on the satellite also began to operate, and the outline of most of Asia gradually became clear on the screen.

On the radar ship, there are people on one side who are responsible for measuring the situation on the ground, and on the other side, there are people who use other instruments mounted on the satellite system to carry out many observation activities beyond vision, and everyone understands that this moment is not easy to come by, without the need for reminders from the Supreme Commander.

"Atmospheric data collection."

"Microwave radiometers have obtained data on sea surface winds and salinity."

"Thermal infrared and microwaves have failed to penetrate the sea surface and are switching to visible remote sensing."

The tight-knit and orderly atmosphere always hovered over the radar ship, and it was a battle without gunpowder, and the result was even more decisive than the swords and swords of life and death on the battlefield.

Almost no one would think that satellites would last long, and almost everyone was mentally prepared for the next second signal interruption.

"The Magnetic Satellite is live, Commander."

"Well done!" Qin Feng clapped his fist high-fives, and at the same time commanded: "When encountering a threat, you can aim the gravitational suction port in the corresponding direction, and the strong magnetic force can not only be used on the ground, but also in space." Don't be too conservative. ”

Qin Feng had long thought about the defense means of the satellite system, but due to the limitations of the rocket's carrying capacity and technical conditions, the plan submitted by the R&D department failed to pass the demonstration. Technical barriers could not be broken overnight, so Qin Feng had to turn his direction and use the existing equipment on the satellite to formulate defensive measures.

Although it is very likely that the self-defense measures set by racking his brains will be vulnerable under the claws of the alien insects, even if the mantis arm is used as a car, Qin Feng has to fight hard.

The Akula ocean-going submarine is returning smoothly and quickly according to the predetermined plan, and it is planned that it will activate the maximum thrust auxiliary device when entering the deep ocean and return to the East China Sea at full speed, when the reconnaissance dragonflies that act as a relay station for surface and underwater signals will not be able to maintain a high load of data transmission at the same rate. This also means that for a short period of time, the Guangling base will only be able to locate the location of the submarine, and will not be able to carry out complex information exchange. It's the same with radar ships.

Lady Luck seemed to favor the day until the Akula submarine entered the Sea of Okhotsk and the satellite was still running steadily in space.

"The Cosmos-2437 probe has completed its exploration of the East Asian continental shelf and is making observations further south along the line from the Sulawesi Sea to the Banda Sea." This was the last good news Qin Feng received before entering the deep sea realm.

In fact, submarines will propel faster when they are half-floating on the surface of the sea, but if this is the case, they can only take a boat, so why bother diving into the depths of the ocean where electromagnetic waves are difficult to penetrate?

After crossing the Kuril Trench from the Sea of Okhotsk, the submarine is already in a state of approximately losing contact with the outside world, and winter storms on the sea surface will not affect it in any way. The Akula was well silenced, but even after the thrust assist was working strongly, the muffled noise still inevitably harassed everyone's ears.

Thousands of miles away in space, there is a deaf-like silence, and the satellite with the model "Eye" emits a scarlet shimmer, which is the energy overflow that the magnetic device is warming up. From the moment the magnetic system was officially activated, this warm-up showed no signs of stopping, and only when the temperature reached a threshold did the system have a very short cooling period.

In order to obtain more comprehensive information, it is useless to rely on the deflection of the high-sensitivity lens, and the satellite must change its current orbit appropriately. Qin Feng had already given the radar ship enough authorization, so this "duckweed in space" began its first leap to the safety point - maneuvering and changing orbits.

The Attitude Adjustment Thruster sprayed a mixture of compressed gas in different directions, so that this small piece of insignificant duckweed was firmly stabilized in its new position, and in a few seconds, a large amount of new data would continue to pour into the radar ship's database.

"Warning! A new signal is coming! ”

The dull radar ship suddenly sounded the mechanical reminder of the system, and the people who were staring at their own matters were suddenly startled.

"Look at the control!"

At the moment of emergency, the officer on duty grasped the crux of the problem at the first time.

"The control is still there!"

"The new signal is transmitting data on its own! No pause! ”

For a while, the team in charge of all aspects of the satellite's functions reported the anomaly in front of them, and the progress bar of data transmission suddenly jumped out of multiple screens on the radar ship, and the panicked technicians subconsciously stopped it, but found that it could not be stopped at all.

The officer on duty set his sights on the emergency disconnection gate on the wall, and at this time a difficult decision was made in front of him, the physical disconnection of the link, and the satellite would be shut down and restarted; If you let the unknown signal transmit data, who knows what will reach the radar ship?
