Chapter 614: Deterrence and Warning, the Engine Can Destroy the Satellite!
"Not only the satellite code and image, but also the orbit of the satellite?"
"No way, how did they know the orbital data?"
"The photos are all clear!"
"Judging from the photos, it should be an AI image fed back from the radar signal, is it accurate?"
The high-level officials discussed nervously, and immediately contacted the satellite center for confirmation, and quickly got a reply, "We checked the data of 21 satellites, and the images and orbit data are very accurate." ”
"There are four of these satellites whose orbits can be adjusted. The orbital data is current, indicating that the data was detected within seven days. ”
The result made top officials even more nervous.
The bulletin lists 29 satellite codes, images and orbital data.
Some satellites orbit very close to the so-called 'space military control zone', with the farthest not exceeding 500 kilometers, while others will enter the 'space military control area'.
These include two conventional military reconnaissance satellites belonging to Ameriken and a newly-launched low-earth orbit-spy satellite, all three of which will pass over the light-pressure engine test base because they are specifically designed to reconnoiter the test base.
As a result, several satellites were marked, including satellite images, orbital data.
The only thing that is not marked is the code, because there is only one number in the satellite code, and it is naturally impossible for other countries and institutions to know.
Now that the bulletin has released images and orbital data from so many satellites, it means that they probably have detailed data on all the satellites at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers.
The results of this inference are terrible.
Normally, satellite photographs and orbital data at an altitude of several hundred kilometers can only be obtained by means of military-satellite tracking.
The use of radar monitoring to obtain satellite images and trajectories cannot be done by existing technologies.
Most of the satellites with higher orbits in space can only be used for ground detection, and it is too difficult to target satellites in the same space, because satellites are too small and too small in space, whether it is positioning detection or tracking, the difficulty is too high.
Ground-based radar detection is even more impossible.
Various major countries have also built large-scale radar base station facilities on the ground to monitor satellites in space, but even the most advanced technology and huge radar base stations will not exceed 200 kilometers at an altitude of 200 kilometers.
This is mainly due to the fact that the atmosphere can interfere strongly with signals from the ground to space.
Therefore, if you want to get the image and trajectory data of a satellite, you can think of using other satellites to track, and only through continuous tracking can you calculate the orbit data.
Now the announcement is a large number of accurate satellite data, including data from military satellites labeled 'unknown', which means that they are not publicly available.
All the top officials know what it means.
When the accurate orbital data of the satellite is known, the satellite can be destroyed by ground-based missiles, and the altitude of several hundred kilometers is not too high for ground-based missiles, and conventional medium-range missiles can be used.
The speed of the missile is very fast.
The average speed of medium-range missiles will exceed kilometers per second, and the average speed of high-performance medium-range missiles can even exceed Mach 8 and nearly 3,000 kilometers per second.
In other words, a medium-range missile on the ground, from launch to a climb of several hundred kilometers, only takes ten minutes to be enough.
Of course, the missile trajectory will not be so accurate, but the deviation can also be compensated for by a saturation attack, and for a satellite with a definite trajectory, two or three missiles will be enough.
Relatively speaking, the trajectory of the satellite has been locked, and even if it can be controlled, it is too late to dodge.
To dodge the satellite, it is necessary to detect the missile first, and after learning that the satellite is locked and attacked, and then manually control it, the control is not as simple as operating a car, and there is no time to adjust it in ten minutes.
Therefore, the release of so much accurate data can be regarded as 'space deterrence' in itself.
The question is, how exactly do they do it?
High-level officials immediately discussed, "Could it be that there is an internal leak?" ”
"There are spies?"
"We must conduct internal and external investigations, careful investigations!"
"This is unlikely, their spies are rare, is there a possibility that they have mastered ultra-high-end radar technology?"
When this point of view was raised, everyone was immediately silenced.
Ten years ago, there would have been a lot of opposition to it, and they didn't believe that the flower growers could master any high-end radar technology, and that it was high-end enough to be able to detect satellites in space in detail.
Right now......
The flower grower has mastered so many unimaginable high-end technologies, and one more ultra-high-end radar technology seems to be no big deal?
"What kind of ultra-high-end radar technology is it?"
The officials present could not think of it, and they immediately consulted technical experts in radar.
Institutions related to military radar research and development also discussed the content of the announcement, and they analyzed it faster than senior officials, and quickly determined that it was radar technology.
Satellite imagery already speaks for itself.
The satellite images were apparently synthesized using AI technology using radar detected signals.
After a detailed discussion, they came to the conclusion that "it is very likely that the flower growers have mastered the first-order radar technology." ”
"If you want to monitor satellites at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers, conventional radar can't do it."
"Our radar technology is the most advanced, and they can monitor satellites, and they must use higher-end technology, and all they can think of is first-order radar ......."
First-order radar, first-order electromagnetic waves.
When the results of this analysis came out, most people confirmed that the flower planters were the birthplace of the 'first-order technology', mastered the first-order material manufacturing technology, and they were the first to discover the first-order wave.
The first discovery was the first-order green light wave, and several first-order wave-related results were later released.
Other countries are also constantly researching, but the biggest result is only to create a certain frequency of waves, or light waves, or low-frequency infrared waves, and the highest-end ones only reach ultraviolet frequency.
Radar waves, which are high-frequency pulsed short waves.
The first-order high-frequency pulse shortwave, not to mention stable manufacturing, they are at most thinking about the concept.
So they can't imagine what the effect of the specific first-order radar will be, but if they want to say that they can detect satellites, they don't doubt it at all.
This is confirmed by the announcement now.
After the analysis was confirmed, the senior management of Ameriken suddenly panicked, initially it was an official of the Hexagon, and then the No. 1 decision-maker also felt panicked when he learned the news, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so they could only urgently convene a high-level meeting.
This also includes the International Relations Response Team, which serves Decision Maker No. 1.
The International Relations Response Group is not thinking about technology, not about how the other side will master the orbit of the satellite, but about the purpose of the announcement......
"Is it a deterrent?"
"It's supposed to be a deterrent, to show their ultra-high-end technology."
"It is related to the space test of the light-pressure engine, probably to ensure the safety of the engine in space, right?"
"That's how it should ......"
"How are we going to deal with it?"
This is a question for senior officials, who initially thought about controlling other satellite tracking and detection, but now they don't know whether to continue.
They just like to fight with certainty.
I don't know what's going on now, and I'm not sure at all, what if something goes wrong?
What if something goes wrong, the situation is out of control, and a war breaks out?
At present, conventional wars cannot be fought, and they are simply unable to deal with the threat of empty ships and flying saucers, and the other side can use empty ships and flying saucers to easily uproot overseas bases and aircraft carrier fleets, and even directly threaten the mainland.
When the time comes, how to deal with it?
Is it going to fight a nuclear-bomb war for the destruction of mankind?
……
Ameriken's high-level discussions concluded that the purpose of the announcement was to deter.
Actually, it's a warning.
The flower growers have no idea of deterrence at all, they have mastered the most high-end technology, and it is enough to use it to deter air ship flying saucers.
The announcement is now issued to warn all countries and institutions not to send other satellites to reconnoiter and monitor, because the space-based test of the light-pressure engine, time, speed, and trajectory route, only the satellites in the announcement are considered, that is, the test process will not interfere with the operation of the satellites in the announcement.
If other satellites enter the controlled area, deviate from orbit due to engine testing, or even crash due to a malfunction, they will no longer be held responsible for this because a 'warning' has been given.
Space tests of the light-pressure engine are open and are not afraid of being monitored at all, the altitude will not exceed 1200 km, and it will certainly be detected by higher satellites.
A single satellite cannot track and monitor the light-pressure engine, but it is impossible to take a large number of images of a designated area and analyze the test process, so there is no point in secrecy.
In addition, they are conducting public testing, and they will also conduct live broadcasts during the testing process, announcing some specific images and test content.
Spaceship, industrial companies just want the test to go smoothly, without any accidents on the way, and what goes smoothly is the best.
The reason why the space military control area is set is because the gravitational shield will be turned on during the test of the light-pressure engine, and two gravitational shield devices will be turned on.
If a satellite enters the gravitational shield area, orbital deviation or even a serious failure will definitely occur.
In addition, they will experiment with laser weapons in space, which will reduce their power appropriately and cover a range of thousands of kilometers.
Although the probability of a laser weapon hitting a satellite during the test is extremely small, there may be a satellite that is unlucky.
That's why they issued an announcement to warn against other satellites entering the area.
Although they kindly reminded other countries and institutions not to send other satellites to monitor and track, other countries and institutions did not understand it that way.
The announcement of the space military control zone has caused an international uproar, and public opinion has been discussed in a boiling vehe, and a large number of media have also reported on it.
Some countries and institutions have expressed their dissatisfaction with this, and some influential figures have also expressed their opinions, "Space is shared by all countries, and it is beyond the territorial scope of 100 kilometers away!" ”
"The establishment of military-controlled zones in space is inconsistent with international law and has no basis whatsoever ......"
The minimum internationally recognized altitude of airspace is 22.2 kilometers (12 nautical miles) above sea level, but some countries set this altitude at a higher altitude.
For example, the minimum altitude of American is 25.3 km (13.7 nautical miles).
The Paris Convention of 1919 and the Chicago Convention of 1944 both established the principle of "air sovereignty", that is, the sovereignty of States parties over the airspace above their territory.
As human flight activities enter outer space, the upper limit of the airspace has become unclear, and most international law experts advocate that outer space does not belong to the scope of territorial airspace, and some countries default to the fact that space of more than 85 kilometers does not belong to the scope of territorial airspace.
Some countries believe that more than 100 kilometers is the upper limit of their airspace, while some major countries believe that 200 kilometers can be counted as the upper limit of their airspace.
After the success of the Apollo manned lunar landing program, Ameriken proposed that the airspace of Ameriken should be from the ground of the territory to the lunar altitude of 380,000 kilometers.
In practice, however, they still have little actual jurisdiction over satellites and other orbital objects that pass over their homeland.
Of course, mainly because there is no way to govern.
The fact that the military-exclusion zone is now set at an altitude of 1,200 kilometers is indeed far beyond the default altitude of international law and major powers.
In the hot public opinion, a remark from the three countries of Afghanistan came up in a loud voice, "Setting the so-called 1,200-kilometer altitude has no meaning at all, and the flower grower has no jurisdiction at all." ”
"Even if they send satellites into the area to reconnoitre, what can they do?"
In this regard, the answer given by the announcement party is eight words, "You can try, and you will bear the consequences!"
At your own risk, nothing.
It's quite interesting to add 'you can try' in front of it.
What public opinion does not know is that many countries and institutions hope that the three countries can be a first-class bird to 'give it a try'.
Ameriken's high-level leaders are debating endlessly, not knowing how to respond, wanting to send other satellites to test it, and worrying about the consequences of a major conflict.
The satellite orbit data released by the announcement is a big killer with ultra-high deterrent power.
Some high-level representatives privately contacted the three countries, wanting them to come forward to 'give it a try', and even promised to provide some high-end satellite technology in the future.
At the same time, public opinion still revolves around the announcement.
A large number of experts also came forward to analyze the content of the bulletin and the light-pressure engine itself, "The bulletin indicates all satellite imagery and orbital data that pass by or approach the relevant area. ”
"This shows that the planters have mastered all the satellite data under 1,000 kilometers, and their detection method is likely to be ground radar, that is to say, they have mastered the ultra-high-end technology of detecting satellites with ground radar."
"It's very impressive space radar technology."
"In addition, they specifically released the military-affairs management-control area, which is likely to be related to the test itself."
"What is certain is that the light-pressure engine is equipped with laser weapons, and the air hundreds of kilometers away is extremely thin, and the power and range of laser weapons will be greatly improved, and the coverage can easily reach hundreds or thousands of kilometers."
"It has mastered accurate space detection technology, and has a laser weapon that covers ultra-long distances and can be used in space, and the light-pressure engine can instantly destroy satellites with a range of hundreds of kilometers in space......"
