Chapter 33: All First-Class Top Secret?
Aerospace Industry Group, Cheung Chau Branch.
At this time, the rocket launch center was full of people, but there were no staff in the entire control room, and everyone waited quietly.
"The countdown to the first launch experiment of the Cheung Chau-3 launch vehicle has begun, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, ignition!" The sound of electronic announcements echoed from the rocket launch center, and everyone looked at the huge electronic screen in the center of the control room.
On the screen, the endless sea suddenly began to boil, and a huge alloy steel frame surfaced, revealing a white launch vehicle, which was different from ordinary rockets, and there were three positions for the head to carry instruments.
As the rocket ignited, a long dark blue flame erupted from the tail of the engine, and the launch vehicle began to slowly rise into the air under the huge thrust of the engine, and as the speed became faster and faster, it finally left a bright trail on the blue sky.
"The launch vehicle entered near-earth orbit and began to adjust the rocket's flight attitude." The sound of electronic radio came out again.
The flank engines at the tail of the launch vehicle on the screen are activated, adjusting the flight attitude of the launch vehicle in preparation for entering the orbit around the earth.
"Entering the predetermined orbit, the power compartment is disengaged."
"The flight attitude is smooth, and the fuel tank is disengaged."
"Research Chamber 1 separates and unfolds the solar panels."
"Research Chamber 2 separates and unfolds the solar panels."
"The No. 3 core warehouse is separated, and the flight attitude of the core warehouse is adjusted."
"The intelligent robotic arm leaves the warehouse and starts the position docking."
"The docking of the positions is complete, the first part of the space station is working well, and it is starting to fly around the earth."
From the launch of the rocket to the successful flight of the first part of the space station around the earth, it lasted 2 hours.
No one cheered in the entire space control room, and everyone was still looking at the huge electronic screen, unable to recover for a long time.
All the launch processes of the rocket are all controlled by Alpha Intelligence provided by Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., and even the space control room was only notified this morning for this launch mission.
Wang Zhishan was the person in charge of the new launch vehicle research project and the initiator of the rocket mission, from the overall printing of the rocket to the completion of the rocket launch, it was only a short 48 hours!
Prior to this mission, they had printed many models of rocket engines for research, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was a completely new idea for them to offer almost every model of rocket engine.
After a series of rigorous tests, the industrial-grade 3D printer printed rocket with excellent performance to prove itself perfectly, Wang Zhishan almost every test will overturn an original rocket launch program, the current rocket launch plan, almost all launch vehicles are ready to use industrial-grade 3D printer printed launch vehicles.
And this launch is a bold attempt.
Artificial intelligence combined with launch vehicles!
The key to the success or failure of the launch of the launch vehicle is, to a large extent, in the stage from ignition to liftoff to low earth orbit, the aerospace industry group spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the launch vehicle guidance system, and finally perfected it to the current point, but even if the guidance system has been extremely perfect, it still needs extremely professional personnel to operate.
After the control system of the launch vehicle is installed with Alpha Intelligence, all the steps are controlled by artificial intelligence, completely abandoning the role of the control center, which is a bold attempt under the suggestion of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd.
Originally, Wang Zhishan thought that it would take at least a few launch debugging to succeed, but he didn't expect the learning ability of artificial intelligence to be so strong, just by copying all the operation data of the previous operators, he perfectly controlled all the operation processes of the launch vehicle, and in just two hours of launch procedures, Wang Zhishan, as the person in charge, clearly knew how many advanced skills there were.
"The progress of science and technology is so rapid that we old men can't keep up with the times." Wang Zhishan let out a long sigh, with a deep loneliness on his face.
He participated in the construction of the whole process of the control center, and spent countless energy and efforts for this control center, but an artificial intelligence of only 13M size, after just a few hours of learning, can be comparable to the control center built with billions of dollars, although this may be an exaggeration, but from now on, the control center is no longer indispensable for the launch vehicle.
"Mr. Wang, this rocket..."Lei Jianhua, the person in charge of the control center, couldn't help but ask Wang Zhishan.
Wang Zhishan put away his lonely look, turned his head to look at Lei Jianhua, and looked around again, countless eyes around him were focused on him, full of puzzlement and doubt.
Without the guidance and guidance of the control room, how did this launch vehicle send the station's two research bays and a core module into low Earth orbit?
"With the overall printing of industrial-grade 3D printers and the guidance of artificial intelligence, we are entering a new era!"
"From today, the concept of the space control room needs to be changed, and we will no longer provide specific guidance for the launch vehicle in the future, but play the role of an integrated information center, responsible for processing comprehensive data on the operation of spacecraft in low-earth orbit."
After a pause, the look on Wang Zhishan's face brought a little heroism: "In the next three months, we will launch more than 40 launch vehicles, and strive to achieve complete space station assembly within three months." β
"40? Oh, my God! Many people exclaimed incredulously when they heard the news, considering that in the past, it usually took four or five months to prepare for the launch of a launch vehicle.
Wang Zhishan smiled, but did not explain anything.
Next, the Eastern Space Control Center continued to launch relevant components of the space station into low-earth orbit at the speed of one carrier rocket in three days, and this launch speed beyond ordinary people's understanding was not only NASA, but also the always friendly country E was full of question marks.
You must know that the launch vehicle engine of country E is also an important pillar industry of exports, relying on the foundation left by the big brother when there was no separation, country E is one of the best in both military and heavy industry, and when it was jointly sanctioned by NATO rockets, it did not earn foreign exchange by exporting arms and heavy industrial products, whether it was aircraft engines or rocket engines, these are key export industries, and in the past, the aerospace industry group did not purchase less there.
Now all the purchase orders have stopped, not to mention, the rocket launch is a few days back and forth, and they are about to catch up with the rural vegetable market to buy vegetables, one, three, five, two, four, six scattered, launching a space station is the same as going to the town to buy vegetables in the village, when is the rocket launch so untechnical?
ββ
NASA Space Control Center.
At this time, there were not only NASA people sitting in the control center, but also many astronauts from the member countries of the O Union.
"How the hell did they do it, three launch vehicles have been launched in just one week, and they simply haven't assembled so many launch vehicles this month!" The head of the space bureau slammed the report in his hand onto the conference table and scolded loudly.
The person in charge of the O-League Space Center took a long puff of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the information fed back by RB, they are likely to have mastered an extremely advanced printing technology, according to the current information, they can now complete the overall printing of the rocket engine, and the use of olefin-3 polymer materials, the performance of the rocket engine is far beyond the conventional engine, and the cost is extremely low, it is estimated that it is only one-tenth of the conventional rocket engine, or even lower!" β
After a slight hesitation, the person in charge of the O-League Space Center took out a small USB flash drive from his arms and gently pushed it to the desk of the NASA director: "This is the material related to olefin-3 polymer materials stolen by our spy personnel, and we have determined after preliminary research that at least more than 96 composite materials can be applied to existing space engines, which can improve the performance of the engine by at least 40%. β
"Your spies can infiltrate it?" The head of the FBI asked in surprise.
So far, they have sent no less than seven or eight waves of intelligence workers over, and almost all of them were arrested within a few days of stepping into the door of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd., even Pol, who is known as the "light of spies", was silent when he was arrested, and it was not until the spy exchange list sent by Asia that they knew that this legendary spy had been arrested.
The person in charge of the O-League Space Center did not intend to reveal the way the spies obtained intelligence, and ignored the FBI's questioning, but said solemnly to the person in charge of NASA: "We can't let them develop like this, low earth orbit is a valuable strategic resource, if they are allowed to continue to launch rockets according to the current situation, now they are only launching the assembly parts of the space station, and if they launch any guidance satellites in the future, it will be really dangerous!" β
"Of course I do! But the most critical thing now is that we can barely detect the progress of their rocket launches! The person in charge of NASA replied with some irritation.
The person in charge of the O-League Space Center was silent for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "With the accuracy of your global positioning system, can't you detect it?" β
"Yes, they seem to be using some kind of automatic guidance program, every time the rocket is launched, the control center and the launch vehicle have almost no signal communication, and the launch of each launch vehicle is not the launch site of the satellite with a wide field of vision in the desert Gobi, but the high-risk launch area of the near-earth sea area, and each launch vehicle is assembled underwater, even if the accuracy of our satellite can reach less than 5 meters, there is no way to face the vast ocean!" The tone of the head of NASA was a bit gnashing.
Country M has always maintained a dominant position in the aerospace field, but now it cannot even guess the launch means of its opponents, which is unbearable for the arrogant ones.
The military influence of launch vehicles is too great, today they can carry a satellite, tomorrow they can carry a nuclear bomb, the ideologies of the two countries are themselves opposite, and no one knows how long the current peaceful situation will last.
"We must put pressure on them, whether it is technology sharing or capital involvement, we must master the relevant core technologies, otherwise when the war comes, we will only be left in ruins!" The head of the O-League Space Center suggested.
The head of NASA sneered at this: "Technology sharing? Don't be naΓ―ve, we were about to fight with them about the original 5G technology, and finally they shared the technical solution? As for capital intervention, they themselves are capital markets that are not open to the outside world, so it is difficult to rely on the small openings left over from your colonization, can a large amount of money really be involved? Don't be naΓ―ve! β
"Then start a war!" The head of the O-League Space Center is categorical.
These words silenced all the participants in the meeting, and everyone restrained their relaxed expressions and looked at the person in charge of the O-League Space Center intently.
The head of NASA and the head of the FBI looked at each other, and then asked seriously: "Are you representing your space center, or are you representing the parliament?" β
"I represent the Space Center, and I represent the Parliament!" Without the slightest hesitation, the person in charge of the O-League Space Center replied cleanly.
The head of NASA fell silent, and the meeting fell into a brief silence, at which point the head of the FBI suddenly spoke: "Our nuclear submarine has sailed east of the western Pacific coast." β
After a pause, he added again: "Recently, our aircraft carrier USS Houston is also preparing to sail over." β
This time it was the turn of the person in charge of the O-League Space Center to be surprised, after all, this kind of move is undoubtedly a serious provocation, the nuclear submarine is okay, as long as it hides deep enough underwater, it is easy to say anything if it is not discovered, and once an aircraft carrier like the Houston sails to the offshore area of another country, it is undoubtedly a signal of war, both sides are superpowers, and once the exchange of fire is likely to turn into a large-scale war, after all, the position of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is too sensitive.
"Do you have enough support for your actions in the House of Representatives and the Senate?" The person in charge of the O-League Space Center asked tentatively.
The head of the FBI scoffed: "They wish they could use their feet when they vote now." β
"The number of parliamentarians representing the interests of oil companies accounts for more than 13% of the total number of parliamentarians, and the number of parliamentarians representing the interests of military enterprises accounts for more than 15% of the total number of parliamentarians. The head of the FBI explained with a sinister smile.
With a long smoke ring, the head of the FBI looked at the person in charge of the O-League Space Center and asked in a joking tone: "Since you represent the Parliament, then, are your Atmis going to sail over together?" β
The Atmiss is a strategic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the O League, and it is almost one of the hole card forces of the O League.
At that time, it was really life and death, and if you didn't accept it, you would do it.
Looking at the person in charge of the O League, who hesitated and did not answer, the person in charge of the FBI mocked: "I know that you are just talking, at the speed of your meeting, when those member states have finished arguing about the military budget, the sky and low-earth orbit are estimated to have been occupied by their guided satellites, so you can pray that your meeting can end in time before the nuclear bomb is launched!" β
The person in charge of the O League who was ridiculed did not go back, although the FBI's words were very rude, but this is indeed the current situation faced by the O League, the number of member states is too large, the demands of each country are inconsistent, and there are more or less differences in the economy and culture of various countries, and anything that wants to reach an agreement requires a lengthy meeting to coordinate, even as the head of the O League Space Center, the daily agenda is filled with all kinds of meetings.
"We can send special forces to carry out early infiltration, and the follow-up naval forces can be driven to Sri Lanka, and we have a certain influence in the Sri Lankan region, and we can borrow local ports, and at the moment we can only do this to this extent." After a moment's hesitation, the head of the O-League Space Center conveyed the opinion of the O-League parliament to the allies.
Talking about the specific details, the head of the FBI also restrained his ridiculous look and said: "Are the special forces going to cross the border?" Is it targeting central cities or lurking on the edges? β
One of the officers attending the meeting of the O League immediately replied: "We are ready to infiltrate from the southwest region of the other side, the southwest region is high and densely forested, there are a large number of primeval forests and plateau areas, most of which are sparsely populated areas, our people can land from Sri Lanka and cross the high-altitude areas to wait for opportunities to lurk into the southwest basin, Shudu is the first target, and Kunshi and Guishi can also be used as strategic targets." β
"Of course, the parliament will still not give up on the negotiations, and only if the negotiations fail, the special forces will leave Sri Lanka, and the navy will also blockade Malacca and the straits along the route, locking their navy in the eastern seas."
"The intensity of the war depends on their dedication to technical solutions!"
After the officers of the O League finished explaining, the FBI asked again in a deep voice: "Do you mean nuclear war?" β
"Yes, including chemical weapons, biological and chemical weapons, genetic weapons, nuclear weapons and all other effective means of destruction!" The O Alliance officer replied succinctly and forcefully.
The head of the FBI slowly stood up and smiled at the participants of the allies: "Your decision surprises me and does not surprise me, I am surprised that your parliament can reach an agreement so quickly this time and be able to commit to such a point, which is rare in the history of our cooperation!" β
"And I am not surprised that the technology of Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. is worthy of you to this extent, you know, in the FBI's internal evaluation, olefin-3 type, olefin-3 polymer materials, industrial-grade 3D printers and alpha artificial intelligence, these technical solutions are all listed as first-class top secret! So far, we haven't even gotten any information about the technical solutions, which is why we were so eager to get the Houston over. β
"We are losing the dominance of the world!"
Looking at the passionate allies in front of them, the participants of the O-League had strange looks on their faces.
As the FBI, which has the most powerful espionage capabilities in the world, they have not obtained any effective intelligence until now?
The participants of the O League know that Xiao Ri and Xiao Stick have obtained some technical solutions, and Xiao Ri directly got a full set of olefin-3 production line construction prototypes this time, and even Ah San also took a set of olefin-3 polymer material detailed documents.
Is it that the younger brother hid his private and didn't share it with the eldest brother? Or can't you even find a beautiful spy? Haven't you heard of the beauty trick?
Even if you are culturally confident, you should read the Art of War!
