Chapter 204 The satellite suffered, 10 million kilometers
The global meteor shower continues.
As time passed, people came out of the initial anxiety and fear, and they were no longer afraid.
Su Zhe reacted from the shocking scene at the beginning.
The fast-falling meteors, the piercing roar, the more you see and hear more, it's just the same thing.
Looking at the countless flickering red beams in the sky, he smiled and looked down at the screen of his laptop.
The screen is rapidly shifting, showing either a space station, a satellite, or other man-made objects in space, or the wreckage of an asteroid that has been hit by a red beam.
During this time period, the red beams emitted by the SS-Defense system were aimed at two types of targets.
One category is the debris of asteroids that are too large.
According to the developed scheme, the corresponding space can only enter asteroid debris of a certain size.
The other type is aimed at asteroid debris that threatens some man-made objects such as space stations, satellites, and probes.
As long as there is a threat, it will be destroyed, no matter how big or small.
At this moment, the space solar power station is in a synchronous orbit of more than 30,000 kilometers, and the asteroid wreckage that threatens the sky solar power station has been destroyed in advance.
Both space stations are in the interception area of the SS-defense system, and there are some satellites and probes in the interception area, as long as they are in the interception area, there is no need to change orbits at all, as long as the original orbits are maintained.
These threatening asteroid wreckage were destroyed early by the colored beams fired by the SS-Defense system.
Compared with the interception area, satellites and probes in the blind spot area can only rely on their own maneuverability to avoid the asteroid debris flying in.
The satellites and probes in orbit were inspected through the SS-defense system, and it was found that there were not many satellites and probes that had been destroyed.
However, this is the early stage, and the relevant satellites and probes have lost power, so it can only depend on luck.
You know, the impact of this asteroid wreckage lasted twelve hours.
Although the intensity of the impact varies, no matter how weak it is, it is stronger than the meteor showers of the past.
Watching, Su Zhe looked at the picture of a satellite being hit by an asteroid.
He took a closer look and saw that it was a communications satellite of a communications company.
Just after reading this, another of the same communications satellite was hit.
The telecommunications company has nearly 3,000 communications satellites in orbit.
Almost all of these communications satellites are in low-Earth orbit.
In addition, these communication satellites are small in size and have little power, and their ability to constantly change orbits is extremely poor.
He estimated that not much of the nearly 3,000 communications satellites would be left in the end.
Just thinking about it, one more such communication satellite was hit.
The communications satellite was destroyed head-on by the wreckage of an asteroid with a diameter of three centimeters.
Relatively speaking, artificial satellites in space are very fragile, and slightly larger asteroid debris can destroy artificial satellites.
At present, there are more than 6,000 artificial satellites in space, and it is not known how many will be left after this baptism of asteroid wreckage.
When Su Zhe was concerned about the space station, satellites, and probes in space, his parents and grandfather chatted while munching melon seeds.
I'm used to the meteor shower that goes on and on. ….
After a while, uncles, aunts and uncles living nearby moved stools to participate in the chat.
Su Zhe listened carefully and found that after two rounds of science popularization between him and his grandfather, these uncles, aunts and aunts talked like that.
I also know the relationship between the solar system, the earth, and the moon, and know how these meteor showers came about and how they were formed.
Minute by minute, the time came to half past eleven in the night.
The uncles, aunts and uncles who were chatting began to carry stools home to sleep.
Although the meteor shower continues, it is not interesting to watch it for a few hours.
After Su Zhe sent his grandfather Su Da Niu home, he came back to wash
Lay in bed.
Go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow to watch the final moments of the meteor shower.
Besides, I have to run to relatives in the next few days, and I have to go to school after the Lantern Festival.
At that time, the positron collider and the associated experimental station were also completed.
The next step is to do verification experiments and develop new technologies......
The next day, Su Zhe was woken up by an alarm clock.
After a brief wash, we went to the open area in front of the door.
It's 5:50 a.m., and the meteor shower is over in 10 minutes.
At this time, Su Zhe smelled a strange smell from the air, faint.
It is not known if it is the remnants of the asteroid debris after it burned up in the atmosphere.
As for whether it is or not, just look at the content posted in the discussion group.
Open the discussion group on your phone and take a look.
Sure enough, the smell was caused by the remnants of the asteroid wreckage that had burned away.
This strange smell is present all over the world.
However, the relevant units have done air sampling in different locations and areas of the country.
The current analysis results are that these odors are harmless to humans, but it is recommended to wear a mask when going out.
Su Zhe sniffed carefully and looked up at the sky.
The meteor shower continues, but not as dense as it started out.
Occasionally, a red beam of light flashed.
He knew that these red beams were aimed at the debris of asteroids that threatened the space station and satellites.
As time passed, the last meteor flashed in the sky, and the time came to six o'clock in the morning.
The meteor shower is over, and the massive impact of asteroid debris generated by the collision of two asteroids on Earth is over.
At this time, the sky was a little cloudy.
Su Zhe looked at it for a while, saw that there were no more meteors falling in the sky, and walked towards his room while looking at the speeches in the discussion group.
At this time, what was being discussed in the discussion group was that after the meteor shower, the artificial satellite in space suffered a heavy blow.
Of the more than 6,000 artificial satellites in space, only 800 remain.
Back in the room, log in to the SS-Defense system with your laptop, look at the data, it's not bad.
The losses of satellites and probes in high orbit are not too great, but the losses of satellites and probes in low earth orbit are heavy.
Of the more than 3,000 communications satellites of that communications company, only a dozen are now left, and all the others have been destroyed.
The reason why it is not bad is that of the more than 500 satellites owned by the country, only one-tenth of the satellites that are about to be decommissioned have been destroyed. ….
The reason why these more than 50 satellites were destroyed was, in the final analysis, that these satellites did not have much fuel left.
After several orbit changes ran out of fuel and was destroyed in the case of loss of power.
As for the satellites of other countries that have suffered heavy losses, the reason is the same, they were destroyed after losing power.
After all, the satellites of other countries are not like their own satellites, and the asteroids in the interception area of the SS-defense system are intercepted, so that fuel is saved to deal with the blind spot area of the SS-defense system.
Fortunately, the two space stations in low earth orbit were saved, after all, these two space stations are too important.
Su Zhe checked the real-time footage of some satellites and probes destroyed by asteroid wreckage.
As he thought, these satellites and probes had already made many maneuvers before they were destroyed, and they had no fuel when they were destroyed.
While they were looking at it, the discussion group began to discuss the finishing plan.
Although most of the wreckage of the two asteroids after the collision washed into the Earth's atmosphere and burned up, many of them flew in different orbits of the Earth.
Some of these wrecks will fly in the Earth's orbit forever, and some will hit the Earth.
However, the impact time of these asteroid debris hitting the Earth is very scattered and long-lasting.
Some are a few days later, some are dozens of days later, and some are longer.
Then there is the debris of an asteroid that flies into the distance after two asteroids collide.
Through the scanning of three survey telescopes, the SS-defense system was analyzed.
When an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers collided with an asteroid with a diameter of 150 kilometers, two-thirds of the resulting debris flew to Earth and one-third to other places.
And the debris of an asteroid flying a third elsewhere would be a new threat.
It is likely that the debris will hit other asteroids, changing the orbits of other asteroids.
Truth be told, it's a ripple effect.
If we don't intervene in the future, humanity is likely to face more disasters.
The experts in the discussion group were very efficient, and it took less than an hour for the relevant plans to come out.
For asteroid debris in the space between the Moon and the Earth, asteroids, and old and new space junk.
These will all be cleared.
The small size is directly ionized, and the large volume changes its orbit, either by burning up in the Earth's atmosphere, or by not hitting the moon and making it a part of the moon.
As for asteroid debris beyond the lunar orbit and threatening asteroids.
A similar approach will be taken, but given the long distance, it will be necessary to deploy the SS-defense system in space.
According to the original plan, the deployment target of the Xuanwu program was a space with a radius of one million kilometers with the Earth as the center.
At present, this range does not guarantee the safety of the planet.
After the discussion of the experts of the discussion group, the radius of effective detection and effective interception of the Xuanwu program has increased tenfold.
A space with the Earth as the center and a radius of 10 million kilometers.
After the Xuanwu Project is over, this space will be cleared.
With a depth of 10 million kilometers, there is enough time to react to the threat of an asteroid.
This is only the first step, and when the conditions are ripe, the SS-defense system will be deployed throughout the solar system. ….
With the lunar orbit as the dividing line, after the two sets of plans for the internal and external came out.
The former is directly passed, and the SS-defense system begins to prepare for implementation, while the latter needs to be reviewed and approved by the relevant departments.
After all, there are too many aspects involved in the latter.
However, many experts, including Su Zhe.
It was believed that the latter plan would be passed.
You must know that the situation is not up to people.
After the two plans are decided, the asteroid collision event is over.
Next, the SS-defense system will be carried out in a step-by-step manner, according to the plan.
Su Zhe looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He put away his laptop, and as soon as he got up, his little sister Su Meiyun pulled his cousin Yang Weiwei to the room.
"Big brother! My sister-in-law and uncle came, and my mother asked me to call you for breakfast."
Su Zhe bent down to pick up his little sister, and said to Yang Weiwei with a smile, "You have dark circles under your eyes, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yang Weiwei nodded and said, "I watched the meteor shower all night."
Su Zhe smiled, hugged his little sister and left the room with Yang Weiwei.
I greeted my grandfather, father, and uncle who were sitting in the same hall, and I also greeted my mother and sister-in-law who were preparing a meal.
He took Xiaomei and Yang Weiwei to the open area in front of the gate.
At this time, the sun has already risen to the highest level.
However, the sky was a little gray, and there was a faint strange smell.
"Cousin! I still can't believe that the Xuanwu defense system has such capabilities, but the result is ......," Yang Weiwei sighed.
At the beginning of yesterday, he was frightened by two waves of meteor showers in the Americas and Europe.
The comment section is full of fearful and worrying remarks.
When he saw the real meteor shower, he was frightened.
The dense meteor shower, and the piercing roar, weighed him down.
He always felt that the end of the world was coming.
But reason told him that these meteors would not pose a threat to people on the surface.
The red beam shattered all the large asteroid debris.
"The results are in front of us, and we have escaped this catastrophe." Su Zhe smiled and said, "But we also have a price, there are only more than 800 of the more than 6,000 moons in space, and all the others have been destroyed by the asteroid wreckage."
"This ......," Yang Weiwei's expression was a little solemn, "What about our space station?"
He knew that the astronauts on the International Space Station and the National Space Station were back.
But the space station is much more important than those satellites.
"Rest assured, not only our space station, but also the International Space Station." Su Zhe said with a smile, "Compared to the satellites of other countries, we are not bad, only ......."
Yang Weiwei listened to the damage to the satellites of various countries, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and said: "It's good that we don't lose much, but other countries are miserable, especially the communication company, which has more than 3,000 communication satellites!" Now there are only a dozen left."
"There's no way around it!" Su Zhe smiled, "Who told them not to pay the relevant fees?"
I was reluctant to spend money, and that was it.
In his view, if he was willing to spend money, a large part of those damaged satellites would be preserved.
It is estimated that the other party thinks that we want too much, and it is better to relaunch a new satellite.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!" Yang Weiwei smiled, "That's right! How to deal with it later, it is impossible for all the asteroid debris to fall, if those asteroid debris cause a chain reaction again, then ......
"We've thought about it, ...... later," Su Zhe picked up what he could say.
Yang Weiwei nodded again and again when he heard this, and asked, "Cousin! You're involved in the Xuanwu Defense System, right?"
Su Zhe said with a smile: "I participated, I can't tell you the details now, when you are admitted to the university and participate in related projects, you will know all this."
"Yes! I understand!" Yang Weiwei nodded, "I will study hard, I will apply for Lingzhou University of Technology, and I will enter the Nine Heavens Research Center."
In the past six months, he and his classmates, to be precise, all the students in the school are in Lingzhou University of Technology.
Everyone takes Lingzhou University of Technology as their goal.
"Good! I'll wait for you!" Su Zhe smiled.
"Big brother! I'm going to go to university too!" Su Meiyun shouted.
"Good! My little sister is also going to university!"
My name is Master
