Chapter 408: Look at my mood
“30,29,28………… 3,2,1。 ”
"Get into the attack range!"
The technician's debriefing was so loud that by the end of the countdown, the high-definition cameras installed on the attack laser weapon satellite had already transmitted the implementation footage back to the command hall of NASA's headquarters.
Three pillars of blue light in a row burst out from the second-generation guardian energy jet on the attack laser weapon satellite.
The high-definition, high-speed camera barely captured three pillars of energy.
The distance of 15 kilometers was instantaneous, and the three pillars of blue energy had already hit Pablo's space-based weapon satellite before some people in the command hall could exclaim.
The U.S. Secretary of Defense, who was engrossed in watching all this, frowned, because the three pillars of energy did not cause penetrating damage to the space-based weapon satellite. It's like three drops of water melted into the sea, without splashing waves visible to the naked eye.
But the US Secretary of Defense, who has been in a high position for a long time, did not ask questions because of this, he did not believe in Wen Ming's technology, but believed that Wen Ming did not dare to joke with the United States on this matter.
Wen Ming also saw this scene, just like the picture he expected when he designed the second-generation guardian, because the energy intensity of the second-generation guardian when it fired the laser was castrated, it was simply unable to cause penetrating damage to space-based weapon satellites with very high strength and sufficient thickness of manufacturing materials.
But for a device that requires a very high level of precision, such as a satellite, does it really need penetrating damage, or direct blow-up?
A hair-thick aluminum alloy wire can cause the launch of a rocket to fail, and how can an instrument like a satellite really be intact as it appears to be after being attacked by three energy lasers?
"Zoom in on the target satellite picture."
The head of NASA issued an order to enter a synchronous orbit with the target satellite, and the high-definition camera on the attack laser weapon satellite has always kept the distance between the two sides within 15 kilometers, providing a clearer picture to the ground command center.
There were three blackened holes on the target satellite, and because of the light, it was impossible to accurately observe how deep these three holes were.
"Based on the analysis of the attack simulation data, we believe that the depth of the attack is 20 centimeters."
Technicians, who have the hardware parameters of the Pablo space-based weapons satellite, reported: "The attack position is the launch assembly of the target satellite. According to the damage images, it can be inferred that our attack laser weapon satellite has caused enough thermal damage to the target satellite, resulting in the gasification and ionization of the surface material of the target satellite, and because the speed of gasification and ionization is too fast, a small area of explosion has been produced. ”
"The energy rays contain plasma, which produces X-rays, which are inferred to have caused damage to the electronic components inside the target satellite."
"In our opinion, the target satellite has lost its full functionality."
This inference caused a not-so-strong cheer in the ground command center of NASA headquarters, and more people did not show anything, just because from the outside, the damage to the target satellite was not great.
A lieutenant general who came to NASA with the US Secretary of Defense frowned and said: "I still think that if we put missiles on satellites, the attack effect will definitely be better than now." ”
The lethality caused by a physical attack by a missile is definitely more obvious than that of a laser weapon. If the missile had hit the target satellite just now, the target satellite would have been blown up into space junk by now.
Wen Ming laughed and said, "I don't think you have the same attack speed as my second-generation guardian space missile. Moreover, are you planning to treat this attack satellite as a disposable product? ”
The sales of Wenming's products are equivalent to his interests, and at this time, he must refute them.
The lieutenant general glanced at Wen Ming, and he didn't know what the reason was, his attitude was not very good, and said, "But can you guarantee that Pablo's satellite has been destroyed?" ”
Wen Ming glanced at the Minister of Defense, who did not say anything, spread his hands, and said, "I can't guarantee it, but what I can guarantee is that we will be able to attack again." ”
After saying this, Wen Ming gestured to Dr. Lanxi, and the other party was not in the mood to pay attention to the argument between Wen Ming and the lieutenant general, but according to the predetermined plan, he controlled the second-generation guard on the satellite from the ground and started the second attack.
It's almost exactly the same as the previous attack, but the results are very different.
Perhaps because the protective layer on the target satellite has been destroyed, the gasification and ionization explosions produced by the three energy beams of this attack are much stronger than those produced by the first attack.
Through the high-definition camera, it can be clearly seen that the target satellite is mutilated due to the explosion, and the blown up piece is rushing farther into outer space at a very high speed, farther and farther away from the earth.
Wen Ming knew that the overall situation had been decided, not only was the sales of the second generation of Guardian Future guaranteed, but his last cause and effect had also been solved.
"Don't worry too much, even if those space junks fall to the earth, with their volume, they will be directly vaporized by the atmosphere and will not cause any damage."
Of course, this explanation is not for the people of NASA, who know not much less than Wen Ming, but for the lieutenant general who does not like Wen Ming. There are also some meanings, which are addressed to the US Secretary of Defense.
The lieutenant general did not answer, but continued to look at the command screen as if he hadn't heard.
At this time, the target satellite, which has suffered secondary destruction, has already appeared visible damage to the naked eye. If at this time, the target satellite still has the ability to attack, it can only mean that the level of Pablo's satellite manufacturing is higher than that of NASA.
However, this is not possible.
The Secretary of Defense was relieved to hear the analysis report given by NASA experts and asked: "You say that this kind of satellite has the ability to attack only twice?" ”
Professor Lanxi, as the main developer of this satellite, glanced at Wen Ming and said: "It should be every 24 hours, with the ability to attack six times, just now because we attacked a space-based weapon satellite that we have never seen before, so each attack used the energy of three attacks." If we are facing ordinary civilian satellites, whether they are meteorological satellites, communication satellites, or GPS positioning satellites, our satellites only need one attack to destroy the function of the target satellite. ”
Just like experienced butchers, they can kill with one sword, but if it is the first time to kill a pig, how can they kill with one sword?
The Minister of Defense asked, "What about our energy storage technology, and our solar panel technology, that can increase the frequency of attacks?" ”
Obviously, the US Secretary of Defense is not satisfied with the energy reserves of six attacks in 24 hours, because if there is a war, they will certainly not fight civilian satellites, although civilian satellites are also one of the targets, but military satellites are their main targets.
Military products have always had higher requirements for protection. If another country's military satellite has an anti-energy attack coating or armor on it, 6 attacks may not be able to destroy a satellite.
Of course, there may not have been before, but the US Secretary of Defense is well aware that when they announce this operation to the world, other countries will inevitably develop effective protective measures in the shortest possible time.
Professor Lancey couldn't answer this question, so he could only look at Wen Ming again.
Wen Ming, who had been ignored for a long time, didn't take the initiative to answer, he could put down his body and please the people who were useful to him, such as those technicians at NASA. But when he put down his body, others still ignored him, so why did he greet him with a smile?
US Secretary of Defense, is it remarkable?
As the richest man in the world who plotted the choice of the next US president, Wen Ming did not have any pressure in his heart.
Now, he is no longer a person that the US Secretary of Defense can easily suppress.
Noticing Lancy's eyes, how could the US Secretary of Defense not understand that the key person to solve this problem was Wen Ming?
Therefore, he asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Wen Ming, do you have any good opinions?" ”
Wen Ming also laughed and said, "Our company has already started to study the third generation of guardians, but the research process cannot be guaranteed. Because when I'm in a bad mood, I don't like to do research very much. ”
