Chapter 62: Satellite Wreckage
It wasn't until the rocket flew out of the atmosphere that the signals transmitted back showed that everything was normal.
However, when the rocket flew some distance and released the satellite.
However, the signal between the satellite and the ground suddenly went out.
The people in the scientific research bureau are only responsible for the research and development of fuel and laser systems.
At this time, the staff of the launch control center were panicked, and the people of the scientific research bureau were even more helpless.
Zhang Xiaoli from the Scientific Research Bureau couldn't help but ask a staff member next to her at this time: "Have you ever encountered this situation?" ”
The staff shook their heads and said, "This has never been the case. ”
Another two hours passed, when the outside media and the public were celebrating the successful launch of the rocket.
The people in the launch center were at a loss at this time.
In the past two hours, numerous attempts have been made to connect to the satellite signal, but they have never been successful.
At this time, someone in the space center proposed: "In ten minutes, our space station will pass by the place where the satellite is missing, and we can notify the people in the space station to check the situation." ”
So the space center immediately sent this command to the space station.
Ten minutes later, a video was transmitted from the space station.
This video stunned everyone in the launch center, and for a time the entire launch center was silent and silent, and no one knew how to face such a situation.
I saw on the big screen, several satellites that had been released in outer space, as if they had experienced something terrifying, had broken into a large pile of wreckage and were suspended in the air.
It is clear that the launch ended in failure.
Da Ye did not speak, but walked into a conference room with his hands behind his back.
A moment later, several managers of the space center, as well as Li Shengdong and Lu Chuan from the Scientific Research Bureau, were called in.
The vast number of people here said: "This is the first time we have launched a rocket with a thrust of 3,000 tons, there has never been such a precedent in the world, even if it fails, I think it is excusable, I don't want to put too much pressure on everyone here, but even if we fail to launch, then we must find out the reasons, and then decide whether the rocket with a thrust of 3,000 tons is really not suitable for the aerospace field." ”
But just as these people were in a meeting, a staff member of a space center, sweaty, rushed in with a laptop.
"The space station has sent back a video taken up closer, and the video content shows...
From the face of this staff member, it can be seen that he seems to have seen some kind of horror scene that he does not know how to describe it.
He didn't finish speaking, and just put his laptop on the table and played it to everyone present.
This video is only a dozen seconds long, but it shows a very important content.
At the beginning of the video, there is still a pile of satellite wreckage scattered in space.
Then, when the camera in the video content zooms in, you can see the main body of several satellites, each with a circular hole in its body.
"What's going on?" The vast number of industries asked.
The staff who just came in replied: "According to all the data we launched, it is definitely not caused by the problem of the rocket itself, because when the rocket rushes out of the atmosphere, its main body has gradually detached, and it can be sent to this orbital position, which means that there is no problem with the thrust of the rocket and the launch process, and the problem can only be caused by the satellite." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lu Chuan.
Because the satellite equipped with a laser launch system was developed under his leadership.
And, at this time, many people looked at the broken round hole on the satellite, and naturally thought that it would not be caused by the small reactor inside that provided energy to the satellite.
And Lu Chuan didn't respond to everyone's eyes at this time, but still kept looking at the picture on the screen carefully.
After a while, Lu Chuan suddenly said, "This is caused by external damage. ”
Hearing Lu Chuan say this, everyone replayed this video a few more times.
When one of the shots was about to flash, Lu Chuan pressed the pause button.
He said to everyone: "Look at the hole in the main body of the satellite, if it is a problem with the satellite, then this hole should be blasted from the inside out, and if it is caused by the explosion of a small reactor, then this power can completely blow the satellite into powder, and we will not see these wreckage at all, and even the power of the explosion, we can see the scene of a nuclear explosion in the sky on the ground." ”
Lu Chuan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, because if this was the case, they really couldn't understand what external force could have caused such a situation.
Whether it is the mosquito trapping system on the ground or the skyfire system in space, the super laser emitting device on it is the research and development that Lu Chuan personally participated in.
So he couldn't be more aware of the damage the laser could have done.
So he said to everyone, "If I'm not mistaken, the hole in the main body of the satellite is caused by a laser fired from somewhere." ”
Hearing this, both Guangye and Li Shengdong had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Because they know that at present, in addition to the Great Xia Kingdom itself, the only one that can cause such damage to satellites in space is the laser system of the Eagle Sauce Kingdom.
Since the Skyfire system has not yet been announced to everyone, even the staff at the space center are not yet aware of it.
Therefore, the vast number of people immediately said to everyone at this time: "Please ask the staff of the Scientific Research Bureau to stay, the personnel of the space center will leave temporarily, we have important matters to discuss." ”
There were only a few people left in the conference room, including Lu Chuan.
Guangye asked Lu Chuan: "Can you really be sure that this damage is caused by a laser?" ”
Lu Chuan nodded, and said with a little doubt: "I'm sure that this is caused by the laser passing through the main body of the satellite, but this should not be caused by the laser on the Skynet system of the Eagle Sauce Country, because the power of that laser can completely melt the satellite." ”
Guangye asked: "Then you mean, there are still weapons in space that we don't know about, the Eagle Sauce Country?" ”
"According to the current situation, it should be like this."
Li Shengdong immediately said to the vast industry: "Commander, but if the situation is really like this... THAT ACT ... Isn't it the same as a declaration of war? ”
Guangye frowned and thought for a moment.
He sneered again: "When we tested the mosquito trap system, we directly knocked out one of their satellites, and at that time they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, it seems that this time it was a response to our previous behavior." ”
"Since they didn't announce it to the public last time, we won't announce it to the public this time, if we want to fight, we will fight them to the end." Li Shengdong said angrily.
Guangye stood up at this time and patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder.
"If that's the case, then in my opinion, this is the real battle between our Great Xia Scientific Research Bureau and their scientific researchers from the Eagle Sauce Country!"
