The satellite data on the bulletin can be reminiscent of many things, and after careful analysis, it can be determined that the flower grower has mastered very high-end radar technology, which can detect satellites below 1,000 kilometers altitude.

This high-end radar technology, perhaps ground-based radar, may be satellite radar in space, and the most important thing is to be able to detect satellites, track and analyze satellite orbit data.

If you contact the light-pressure engine to install laser weapons, it will feel very scary.

"That's enough to make the light-pressure engine the most powerful weapon in space!"

"It is capable of delivering direct strikes against all satellites at a distance of 1,000 kilometers with almost no loss ......"

The light pressure engine uses annihilation particle technology, which can be said to be the technology of infinite energy, and the laser weapon installed on the surface of the engine naturally comes from the inside of the engine, and even the electrical energy on the ground will not be lost.

If you don't have any attrition, you can continue to do it all the time, and you can see how terrible it is when you think about it.

Conventional means of striking satellites are ground-based missiles.

Ground-based missiles are very expensive, and destroying a satellite with a few ground-based missiles may even outweigh the costs.

This is also one of the great advantages of laser weapons on the engine.

However, public opinion pays more attention to the light-pressure engine itself, "The light-pressure engine has this level of striking ability, it should no longer be called an 'engine', right?" It feels like it's already a helicarrier. ”

"There is no code name yet, but it is said that it will be called a space carrier."

"However, this level is really not an engine......"

"The aerospace carrier is an aircraft carrier in space, and after the aerospace carrier, the flower planter will have absolute deterrence and strike capabilities in space, and have the dominance and hegemony in space."

"The dominance and hegemony of space will also affect the dominance and hegemony of all military fields."

The advantage of space dominance is too great.

In the course of the historical development of the military-military field, the emergence of the air force, fighter planes, and other air weapons are a very important chapter.

In the past 100 years, aero engines, various types of fighters, bombers, and other aviation weapons have supported half of the development of weapons.

In modern warfare, air power often plays a decisive role in the outcome of war.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the competition in the military field has shifted from aviation to space.

Modern high-tech weapons often rely on space satellites, and the positioning of fighters and ships is very crucial, and a large number of advanced weapons also rely on satellite guidance to be able to accurately lock on to targets and strike.

If we can have dominance and hegemony in space and disable all of our opponent's satellites, we will be damaging the 'eyes' of our opponent's high-tech weapons, and it can be said that we will be able to determine the direction of a conventional war.

Of course, public opinion is only public opinion.

A whole bunch of speculative reports and claims aren't necessarily accurate.

Still, everyone is looking to the upcoming space test.

The day before the space test, Spacecraft Industries released information about the space test, and they confirmed that they would release a large satellite during the test, and they would also test laser weapons in space.

The last one caused quite a stir, but it did not surprise public opinion.

In the information released by Spaceship Industries, it was also confirmed that a live feed would be available during the test.

At this time, the big media outlets in some countries had already gotten the news that they had been given the rights to broadcast the space test process.

It will be broadcast live by major media outlets from 17 countries.

The first media in China will get the first-hand picture, and the host will get some relevant information, and conduct live commentary according to the information and picture.

In other countries, sub-broadcast rights are obtained through domestic media, and some simply carry out direct translation and retransmission.

At this moment, the lens of the first domestic media has come to the light pressure engine project base.

Journalists were allowed to enter the interior of the base and were allowed to shoot and interview from two kilometers away, and the light pressure engine could be clearly seen from the camera two kilometers away.

The light-pressure engine is simply too large.

The engine in the picture is as if it is in front of them, and it also shocks the audience in front of the TV and computer, and it is the first time they have seen the light-pressure engine so closely.

The wraparound capsule of the light-pressure engine has already been built, and it is difficult to call it an engine when it looks like a spaceship up close.

After the reporter came to the inside of the base, he could shoot in a certain area, and the main thing to shoot was the light-pressure engine, and the other equipment was scattered.

This area is already very close to the light-pressure engine, and during the space test, the nearby equipment will be moved, otherwise it will be damaged by the high temperature.

The reporter also met Zang Chunlai, who was being interviewed.

Zang Chunlai, general manager of the Spacecraft Industry Corporation, was interviewed by reporters on behalf of the company.

Standing in front of the camera, with a faint smile on his face, Zang Chunlai nodded to the photographer to make sure that he could start shooting, and then said, "We have been preparing for this high-altitude test for more than eight months. ”

"The test will be divided into several parts, including take-off, lift-off, release of satellites, just like information that we have made public, and laser weapons will be tested at a certain altitude."

"For us, the release of satellites is the most important thing."

"The engine carries a 16-ton satellite, which should already be the heaviest satellite in human history, and the larger the satellite, the more functions it can achieve."

"After this test, we also hope to cooperate with more enterprises and institutions, and will provide large-scale satellite launch services......

Zang Chunlai keeps talking about the content suitable for satellites, mainly because the satellite launch service will be the point where the light pressure engine can achieve stable income.

Earnings are still very important.

Since the establishment of the light-pressure engine project, they have been investing heavily in a steady stream, and they also need to return some funds to support subsequent research.

For example, research and procurement of small ships that can achieve a variety of performances.

Small ships are not cheap.

The budget for the R&D and procurement of various small spacecraft will inevitably reach hundreds of billions.

Their ultimate goal is to make a profit, and the first point of stable income must be grasped.

However, the reporter does not care about the release of satellites, because public opinion has been discussed for a long time, and for a light-pressure engine, the release of large satellites is very simple.

The reporter is concerned about another question, "Many people think that the current light-pressure engine can no longer be called an engine, it should be called an aerospace carrier, right?" ”

"I can't say that right now."

Zang Chunlai shook his head and said, "I know a lot of people say that, but in fact, we haven't completed the space test yet, and it's not perfect. ”

"We will continue to add the cabin and improve its internal structure, increase the equipment to achieve various functions, and improve the internal system."

"There's still a lot of work to be done."

"But one thing is certain, after this test, we will start the construction of the space carrier."

The follow-up reporter asked several questions of public concern.

Some can answer, Zang Chunlai said a few words, and if he can't answer, he smiles and keeps silent.

Space tests of the light-pressure engine are about to begin.

Spaceship Industries has released some of the content to the public, but in fact there are many things to be tested, and the release of large satellites is only one of them.

Releasing and recovering small ships, testing gravitational field equipment and gravitational shield equipment, testing laser weapons, and so on are the focus of the tests.

The engine climbs to hundreds or thousands of kilometers, but it is the least difficult.

Another important test is manual operation.

In the process of testing, the tester (pilot) in the main control room manually operates the optical pressure engine to take off and take off, and completes a series of controls such as the release of satellites and small spacecraft, including the launch of laser weapons, which is also one of the key points of the test.

The space test completes a series of missions lasting more than 24 hours.

At the same time, the test screen will also be provided in stages.

Half past eight in the morning.

Space tests are ready to begin, the first domestic media has been connected to the scene, and the camera lens is aimed at the light-pressure engine.

Here's the picture provided by the engine block.

The host said, "The lens is only 5 kilometers away from the light-pressure engine. ”

"It's the best way to see the engine taking off."

"5 kilometers is already the closest distance, and the camera lens must be protected from heat, and the engine will create a large amount of light pressure and light heat during take-off, which will affect the surrounding 10 kilometers ......"

The camera panned and it was connected to the inside of the capsule.

The most impressive thing in the main control cabin is a large screen, in front of which sit three testers, dressed in clothes similar to spacesuits, but they look much lighter, and it is obvious that they can move their limbs freely.

Many people held their breath when they saw the TV picture, and it was the first time they saw the picture inside the light-pressure engine compartment, and it was still aimed at the main control compartment.

The main control cabin, under the large screen, there are buttons and equipment everywhere, several seats are very exquisite, plus three testers sitting in danger, the picture is full of science fiction.

"This is the inside of the light-pressure engine compartment? Very impressive......"

"It's a spaceship!"

"The big screen seems to be aimed at the sky directly above, which means that the top of the engine is the front, so I really want to sail towards space......"

"Those devices look amazing, I don't know what they do, if only there was an introduction."

"How is that possible? It's good to see what it looks like inside. ”

The screen of the main control compartment ends with the tester in the middle pressing a button.

After that, the picture returns.

The camera is back on the light-pressure engine.

Just like many people speculated, the light pressure engine made a loud noise, and the host introduced, "The engine has entered the warm-up stage and is ready to start." ”

At this moment, Wang Hao was sitting in the central control room, and next to him was Zhu Qiqiang.

At the edge of the control room sat a row of leaders.

Among them are Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhu, but in the middle position is Mr. Yuan, who is the top decision-maker, and his position is one level higher than that of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Xu.

Mr. Yuan personally came to the test site, which also represents the country's attention to the light pressure engine test.

Teacher Yuan was standing in the middle and asking the question of the gravitational shield, and the object of the inquiry was He Yi, who was in charge of the gravitational shield technology.

He had learned about technology before, but he was still very surprised.

He Yi said, "The current gravitational shield technology has a release distance of more than 80 kilometers, and the impact range is a hemispheric region of about 8 kilometers. ”

"During the test, two gravitational shield devices will be turned on to accelerate the flight, aiming directly ahead, that is, directly above, to ensure the safety of the engine."

"The effect of the gravitational shield is to create a force that shifts the matter in the area to the sides so that it does not fly head-on to the engine."

After hearing this, Mr. Yuan thought about it and said, "With gravitational shield equipment, laser weapons, and high-end radar, safety should be guaranteed." ”

"Are there any plans to install other weapons and equipment in the future?"

He Yi said, "We have discussed, or will install a weapon that can have explosive lethality in space, preferably able to create a very strong explosion." ”

"This is ......," Teacher Yuan wondered.

"Deal with meteorites!"

He Yi said, "It's not for the light pressure engine, but for a kind of protection of the earth, if there is a large meteorite crashing into the earth, the meteorite can be blasted in space, which can ensure safety to the greatest extent." ”

"This is also a means that the light-pressure engine lacks, and we have studied and discussed that it is also possible to install this weapon on a small spacecraft."

"It's just ......"

He Yi said regretfully, "The research and development speed of the small spacecraft is too slow, and it is a bit difficult to keep up with the progress. ”

Distance.

Teacher Zhu lowered his head depressedly, he felt that he should not come.

I was looking forward to the tests of the light-pressure engine, but the results mentioned the work of the space agency.

He Yi did not directly mention the space agency, but small spaceships can always make people think of the space agency's project, and the research and development of an anti-gravity spacecraft can't catch up with the light-pressure engine and the space carrier, what else can you say?

"Ah~~"

He could only sigh often.

When the object of comparison is Wang Hao's team, it can always make people feel very desperate.

Mr. Yuan continued to ask, "By the way, what should I do if other satellites enter the control area during the test?" ”

"Our plan is to deter and use gravitational shields to deflect satellites from orbit. ”

"Won't it cause technical information to leak?"

Teacher Yuan was puzzled.

He Yi felt that he had no way to answer, so he could only look at Teacher Xu and Teacher Zhao.

This aspect is discussed together.

Mr. Xu walked over and explained, "This is our decision after discussing it together. ”

"For us now, it doesn't matter if the technical news leaks are leaked, even if other state agencies know about the gravitational shield technology."

"It's also a deterrent in space."

"We have too many high-end technologies, and the light-pressure engine itself is a combination of high-end technology."

"No matter how much more high-end technology is, because we already have the ability to strike satellites in space, and the leakage of gravitational shield technology can also warn some countries and institutions not to take the initiative to provoke ......"

He was referring to 'satellite debris attacks'.

Without gravitational shield technology, other state agencies could use the method of damaging satellites to create a large pile of satellite debris that threatens the light-pressure engine.

This kind of attack can also be explained by 'the satellite was damaged by impact'.

In short, it can be justified as an 'unintentional scenario'.

When the light-pressure engine is faced with this situation, it can only dodge without gravitational shield technology, and there is a large amount of satellite debris in space orbit, which will definitely pose a threat to the normal navigation of the light-pressure engine.

When other state agencies knew about gravitational shield technology, they wouldn't do it anymore, because satellite debris simply didn't threaten the light-pressure engine.

They will only feel hopelessness that they cannot cope with......
