Chapter 207: The Icon is in orbit
That night, Wang Yue drove to a former government airfield in the south of Tripoli, took the MiG-25 fighter out of the system space, and placed it in an abandoned hangar.
Plug in the external power supply, refuel, external status checks, runway status checks, tow the MiG-25 fighter to the runway with a broken pickup, open the cockpit canopy, put on that spacesuit-like flight suit, and awkwardly board the fighter.
Then, the first thing Wang Yue should do is to fasten his seat belt, but this plane does not have a seat belt, you only need to press the lock button on the chest, you can directly connect the flight suit and the seat together, no way, the speed is too fast, the height is too high, the ordinary anti-load suit is not good at all, if that is the case, it is estimated that a big overload action, the pilot will have to hang up. Of course, that's just for ordinary people, as far as Wang Yue's perverted physical fitness is concerned, even if he doesn't wear an anti-load suit, it's no problem, and the reason why he is wearing a flight suit today is completely because he is not at ease with Mikoyan's plane.
Then, after making sure that the internal power supply of the cockpit had been turned on, Wang Yue turned on the internal display screens of the fighter one by one, and all the systems were turned on in order one by one for the final pre-flight inspection, especially the inspection of the wings, ailerons, and weapon systems to ensure that they could work normally.
Today, because of the special reasons of the mission, the MiG-25 fighter does not have missiles, but only a conformal fuel tank, a laser launcher, and the cannon is also in a full state.
After this series of preparations was completed, Wang Yue turned on the fighter's ApU system and started the engine, and at this time, the MiG-25 fighter completed all preparations for takeoff.
Visually checking that the engine was working normally, Wang Yue gently pushed the button on the operating lever to refuel the MiG-25 fighter, the engine was fueled, the color of the nozzle tail flame gradually turned blue, and the fighter began to taxi, no tower issued a take-off order, and after confirming that the nearby meteorological conditions were normal, the plane began to accelerate on the runway, and after a while, it flew into the sky.
Adjust the direction, climb, soon the height reached 40,000 meters, the whole process is very smooth, the performance of the NK32 core engine is very strong, the engine has no abnormality, even the vibration is very light, Wang Yue did not feel the slightest discomfort, the life support system works normally at an altitude of 40,000 meters.
Continue to climb, after reaching an altitude of 50,000 meters, the flight control system prompts to turn on the booster rocket, the booster rocket ignites, and the MiG-25 fighter begins to climb upwards at an angle of 85 degrees.
The gravitational force decreased, the speed of the aircraft increased, and the consumption of rocket fuel was also reduced, and soon the altitude reached 85,000 meters, and the flight state was suitable, and the flight control system automatically stripped the first-stage booster rocket, and then the second-stage rocket ignited, and the aircraft accelerated again.
9,500 meters, 9,800 meters, 100,000 meters, 100,000 kilometers, 100,000 kilometers, 100,000 kilometers, 110,000 meters, the second stage rocket is flamed out.
The automatic stripping flight control system prompts, and it is recommended to flatten.
Wang Yue entered the command to the flight control system and executed the leveling.
The altitude then dropped somewhat, about 100,000 and 100,000 meters to maintain, and at this time the flight speed has reached an astonishing Mach 11, it is normal to think about it for a while, the air resistance at this altitude is almost negligible, only a small acceleration is needed to maintain the speed of the aircraft, and the fighter has approximately reached the state of a space vehicle.
Just now, when the flight altitude reached 110,000 meters, Wang Yue released the "Shengxiang No. 5" in space, and placed it in an extremely close orbit two hundred kilometers from the ground, in order to prevent it from being discovered by ground observation equipment, the release position was close to the wreckage of a huge sounding balloon.
In other words, the bald eagle is engaged in a private "aerospace company", but you are engaged in a private "balloon company", if the bald eagle knows, I don't know if it will be angry?
Think about it, too, in the current state of technology, what satellites can do, can also be done with a sounding balloon network, and if you get it right, the use is no worse than satellites, the key is that you don't have anything to do at this altitude, missiles are not very easy to use, space-based weapons are not very easy to use, and no matter which means are used, the exchange ratio is too low.
It's as if it was a truth that the bald eagle was shooting balloons on its own land before, but it was still in the atmosphere, and now it has reached an extremely close orbit, and the bald eagle's air defense capability is directly a blind spot at this distance.
After more than 650 kilometers, the main rocket turned off and broke away from the "Elephant 5", followed by the ignition of the rocket engine on the "Elephant 5", and finally sent the "Elephant 5" to a sun-synchronous morning and dusk orbit 720 kilometers above the ground.
After fine-tuning, stabilizing the flight state, deploying the solar panels, adjusting the direction of the weapon, powering on, self-checking, and a series of actions, the "Sacred Elephant V" entered the state of combat readiness duty, and this position is also the initial deployment position of the "Sacred Elephant V", according to the alliance's original plan, one satellite can paralyze the entire Bald Eagle capital circle until the first wave of the alliance's strike arrives.
And now, after Wang Yue's modification, the "Sacred Elephant No. 5" can not only explode in outer space, but also strike at the capital circle below, which is equivalent to hanging a large six-ring revolver on the top of the bald eagle's head, and as long as Wang Yue is willing, he can also change the orbit at any time, and if it is operated properly, the entire North American continent can become his target.
In the era of the Alliance, controlling the "Sacred Elephant 5" required a large number of ground facilities and a whole control center and supercomputer, but now, Wang Yue can use a control station hidden in a small North American country and a terminal on the account to control this thing, which looks no different from playing a game, but it can control the lives of tens of millions of people at any time.
It's just that Wang Yue never dreamed that at the same time as the "Shengxiang 5" entered orbit, the NASA Space Weapons Warning Center in Alaska sounded the alarm, which made the monitoring personnel who had not heard the alarm sound for decades were numb, saying that we joined here to support the elderly, for decades, even the monitoring parameters have rarely changed, why did it ring, and the computing power of the main control computer seems to be only a little more than a billion times per second, right?
Fortunately, there is also an old professor who is about to retire here who understands the response logic of the early warning system, and quickly starts the monitoring and search module, and the ground observation station cooperates with the spy satellite to search and lock the suspicious location. Only then did it find that the "Sacred Elephant 5", which had been away from the original orbit for a long time, actually appeared in orbit again, not only that, but compared with the previous photos, it can be found that the "Sacred Elephant 5" has actually been upgraded, and only the external observation has a new solar cell system and propulsion system, and even a device similar to the active defense system has been installed in a frenzy.
The old professor's cold sweat came down, he had experienced the Cold War period, and he also knew that the reason why this early warning center existed was to deal with the alliance's "holy elephant system".
At the height of the Cold War, the Alliance's scientists put forward the concept of global electromagnetic suppression, and then came up with this "Icon System," planning to use 20 satellites to establish a global electromagnetic suppression system, and once a war breaks out, the Alliance will activate these space weapons and completely paralyze the military command system and civilian communication system of the Convention Organization, and for this reason, it will not hesitate to send 120 nuclear bombs into space.
One hundred and twenty nuclear bombs with a ten-ton tNt yield, this Nima is something that people can do? You say it's an electromagnetic suppression weapon system, but who believes it, even if the bald eagle gets the exact information later, he doesn't believe it, and he always believes that these nuclear bombs of the alliance will fall.
In response, Bald Eagle revised and expanded the "Space War Plan", and also put on a posture of carrying out an arms race to the end, but both Bald Eagle and the smart people of the alliance know that it is just a bluff, everyone has been fighting for decades, and who doesn't know whose bottom line.
I don't want to, there are really smart people who believe the nonsense of the bald eagle, and as soon as they come to power, they terminated the "Holy Elephant Project", and finally launched the assembled five "Holy Elephants" into orbit at the insistence of Marshal Yazov, to say that this is also no way, it is too heavy, the cost is high, each one needs five rockets, and then it is combined in space, and sometimes it is necessary to use spaceships.
The five "Holy Elephants" almost covered the core areas of North America and Europe, and according to the idea of the alliance military, it was enough for the minimum requirements, but this thing was a nuclear weapon, and if you wanted to use it, you needed to approve it wisely, so it was not used until the alliance avalanche, not to mention the use, and it did not even play the deterrent effect it should have.
Even, except for the Bald Eagle, the other countries of the Convention Organization did not know that the alliance had left the "Holy Elephant System", but whether they knew it or not, this thing existed, so the Bald Eagle has been thinking about getting rid of these satellites while setting up a complete monitoring system.
It took more than thirty years to finally get this done, and the flickering bear destroyed two, destroyed two with orbital weapons, and not long ago, even the last one fell into the atmosphere due to lack of maintenance.
