Americaka.

Virginia.

The Pentagon's 4C-956 office, with the name "Space Systems Office" hanging on the door of the office, is actually the headquarters of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in America.

The head of the company, Major General Robert (the head of the NRO is usually concurrently held by the American Air Force general), who was still drinking coffee just now, suddenly rang a phone on the table.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"General, in case of emergency, please go to the No. 5 monitoring room immediately."

"OK, I'll be right there."

Robert quickly got up, pushed open the door, and quickly went to one of the monitoring rooms.

In the monitoring room, a large number of electronic equipment and computers are displayed, and more than 30 staff members are busy.

Arthur, the director of the office, brought Robertra to one of the computers: "General, just 67 seconds ago, a target flew into outer space from the middle of the Longelang Mountains in Honsavady. ”

"What?" Robert's eyes widened, and he quickly looked at the computer's satellite monitoring data, and found that there was indeed a target with an extremely fast speed.

"According to the report, the monitoring target stayed at an altitude of 647 kilometers in low-earth orbit and was suspected to be in a corrective orbit." Another staff member reported.

Robert involuntarily burst into foul language: "Fack...... 163 seconds? Average speed of Mach 11 per second? ”

......Arthur didn't know how to describe his inner feelings, so he could only order: "Continue to monitor, and mobilize satellites to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the middle of the Longelang Mountains in Honsavady." ”

"Roger."

Robert, who calmed down a little, looked at the data in front of him, and his face was already very solemn: "Damn! How do they do it? ”

Suddenly, the staff of the electromagnetic wave signal monitoring team turned their heads and reported: "General, that satellite has emitted a clear coded signal. ”

"Translated." Arthur hurriedly commanded.

“OK。”

After a while, the clear-code electromagnetic wave signal emitted by Hungsavady No. 1 was parsed.

[The Honsavwady Space Strategy Department announced to the world: On January 6, 2022, at 11:21 a.m., China successfully launched the Honsavwady-1 communication satellite, which weighs 4.2 tons...... ］

[Honsavady will strive to contribute to the development of the universe by human civilization based on the principle of peaceful development of outer space, and the future of mankind is a sea of stars, and the future of Honsavady is also a sea of stars...... ］

[Special Announcement: At 14:20 this afternoon, we will launch the geological exploration satellite codenamed "Daystar" again, please do not overreact...... ］

Syllable! Robert slapped the printed translation on his desk.

Wang Defa! Don't overreact yet?

Anyone facing a flying machine with a speed of more than a dozen Mach is estimated to be calm.

At this time, the door of the monitoring room was rudely pushed open, and an old man in a general suit walked in.

Robert immediately stood up and saluted: "General Alexander!" ”

"How's it going?" Alexander's eyes swept over the crowd.

Robert swallowed his throat and quickly debriefed the situation succinctly

After listening to the report, Alexander frowned: "A launch vehicle with an average speed of more than a dozen Machs? ”

"Nope! Not a launch vehicle. Arthur, a professional aerospace engineer, shook his head and explained:

"The speed of this aircraft is in a downward state from the ground to the Kármán line, and it does not accelerate twice until it breaks out of the Kármán line, which is definitely not a launch vehicle."

Alexander frowned: "What's that?" Could it be a cannonball? ”

"Guys, do you remember the Barbados cannon of the past? My guess is that Honsavady uses a similar technology to launch satellites. Arthur reminded.

Alexander looked at Robert: "Is it the Barbados cannon that the Air Force cooperated with the Maple Leaf Country back then?" ”

Robert nodded: "Yes, the Barbados cannon could indeed launch a load of more than a hundred kilograms into low-earth orbit back then. ”

"Is that satellite really 4.2 tons?" Alexander's expression had become more and more solemn.

Arthur shook his head: "No, it's not just 4.2 tons, judging from the dimensions we monitored, at least 6 tons, maybe the other side didn't count the fuel carried." ”

Hearing this data, Alexander's expression became even more ugly.

As the head of the Pentagon, Alexander is not the relatively simple idea of NASA.

Rather, they are thinking about whether the space technology possessed by Honsawady, once transformed into military technology, will pose a threat to America, and this typical Cold War mentality is basically the mainstream of the Pentagon.

Alexander thought for a while: "Robert, you organize a special team as soon as possible to assess the aviation technology of Honshawady, and the degree of threat it may pose to our homeland. ”

“OK。” Robert nodded.

The NRO, under Robert's command, quickly mobilized a number of satellites to focus on monitoring the Longelang Mountains in Honsavady; At the same time, professional personnel were organized to conduct a careful analysis of the Honsawwady-1 satellite and its launch technology.

The other side.

At the Changi base in Star Island.

Inside the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Black Ship, Tom also learned that Honsawady had launched an artificial earth satellite half an hour ago through the radar set up at the base and the intelligence fed back from the mainland.

This is a matter of great deal for Tom right now.

……

Meanwhile.

The major powers in the world, or regional tyrants, and countries with relatively strong space technology, have successively discovered the satellite launched by Honshawady.

For example, in East Asia, Dongying and South Goryeo have detected satellite broadcasts in Honsawady.

As for a certain large country in the East, not to mention, the first time Honsavady 1 was launched, it was detected by its large radar.

The first time it was also monitored, as well as the suspicious Tianzhu recently.

Then there are Lucia, Europe, Britain and other forces, as well as Australia, which have also monitored the radar signal of unidentified aerial vehicles.

Through the satellite broadcast of Honsawawady-1, the forces around the world that have the ability to receive signals from outer space have also learned about this incident one after another.

Xishu Province.

Rongcheng.

Inside a suburban farmhouse.

The man with glasses looked at the internal bulletin in his hand, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he raised his head: "Lao Zhang, aren't your people aware of this project?" ”

The middle-aged man with a national character face put down the teacup and shook his head: "No, none of the three major groups in Honsavady have announced this project, and the current space project on their surface is the launch vehicle project of Hugang Base, which is the only space project that can be investigated." ”

"It's not simple, it's really not simple, that man is really not simple." The man with glasses now takes Honsavaddy very seriously.

Of course, Lao Zhang knew who the man with glasses was, and he rubbed his temples: "Judging from the analysis of the aerospace department, this should be a project similar to the Barbados cannon." ”

"With a 4.2-ton satellite, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the satellite with a warhead, right?" The man in glasses speculated maliciously.

"This is meant to be a cannon, and firing warheads is what it's really for." Lao Zhang suddenly said another thing:

"Now I suspect more and more that Honsawady was behind the Assam incident."

The man with glasses reacted instantly: "Those 300 mm caliber cannons? ”

"Yes, after all, since the nineties of the last century, the major powers have basically not developed artillery with a caliber of more than 200 mm, and it is impossible for Assam to produce a 300 mm caliber cannon on its own."

After listening to Lao Zhang's analysis, the man with glasses also felt the same way.

The corners of the glasses man's mouth rose: "It seems that the second satellite in the afternoon is probably not only a satellite!" ”
