The vastness of space.

A large constellation of up to 100 small moons is speeding towards the space station like a swarm.

The shrill sound of sirens continued to resound in the hall of the ground control center.

Critical moment.

Chief Engineer Yang of the Aviation Institute was making a phone call while asking the staff next to him to quickly record something.

Finally!

Just when the staff of the control center was preparing to urgently maneuver and change orbits, trying to avoid the dense area of the largest wave of small satellites.

Chief Master Yang put down the phone in his hand and immediately said:

"Quick!"

"Follow the instructions I just repeated, enter into the control window of the space station!"

"Turn on the space station's self-defense system!!"

A time when every second counts.

The staff member moved quickly, entering the long list of keys into the system.

At the moment when the space station's self-defense system was turned on.

The screeching sirens that rang through the hall disappeared without a trace in an instant!

This miraculous phenomenon amazed everyone present!

Is the space station's built-in protection system so powerful!?

As soon as it was turned on, the impact of that small constellation on the space station was eliminated!

However.

Scanned images from space soon appeared on the big screen, as well as video from the space surveillance and detection system.

"The system has detected that the space station is about to be hit by a large number of space flying objects!"

"The space station self-defense system has been turned on!"

"Drop!"

"Targeted Electromagnetic Storm Field Activated......"

Accompanied by a sound cue.

An invisible magnetic storm swept past the small constellation of satellites that were heading towards the space station!

Meanwhile!

A weird scene suddenly appeared in front of the big screen!

I saw that those huge numbers of small satellites lost power in an instant!

Immediately like a headless fly!

"Space Spacecraft Capture Assist System Activates ......"

"Drop!"

"The control analog signal of the spacecraft within the target range has been captured!"

Accompanied by a mechanical electronic beep.

Those small satellites that seemed to be fixed were soon under the traction control of analog control signals.

Drift towards the auxiliary module below the main module of the space station.

Two auxiliary modules with a diameter of 14.8 meters and a height of 10 meters soon opened a huge hatch!

Followed by.

Those small satellites, like marionettes, were controlled and brought into the hatch of the auxiliary module.

A few minutes later.

More than 100 small satellites were swept away!!

As if it had never existed at all!!

"This ...... This ......"

Chief Master Yang looked at the image that appeared on the big screen in a daze, and it took a long time to react.

"That's too strong, isn't it? Crouch...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem!! ”

He forcibly held back the swear words that blurted out, and his face turned red and coughed constantly.

It's not just him.

The people in the entire control center hall go up to the chief engineers of various departments and down to the ordinary staff.

Looking at everything that happened on the big screen, everyone felt shocked and inexplicable!!

I haven't seen what is going on yet.

The huge crisis that almost caused the space station to fall has just been solved!?

However, compared to the average staff.

Chief Engineer Yang and other senior engineers in front of the big screen vaguely understood part of the reason.

"Elder Yang, it was a magnetic storm just now, right!? And it's controllable! ”

An engineer who looked to be in his thirties still couldn't hide his shock.

Chief Master Yang nodded slowly.

"It's a magnetic storm!"

"Just now, the equipment in an auxiliary module of the space station triggered a directional strong magnetic storm field!"

"Those little satellites are just within range of the magnetic storm field."

"So it's all out of control!"

"Then the magnetic storm equipment was turned off, and another electronic warfare equipment that could simulate the control of satellites worked."

"Capture the satellites that haven't fully recovered from the magnetic storm!"

"It's really a genius design and application!!"

After finishing speaking, Chief Master Yang sighed with bright eyes.

After listening to his explanation, the people around him suddenly realized.

The principle of a magnetic storm is actually the 'solar wind'.

The sun releases high-velocity charged particles all the time.

It's just that the solar wind is relatively "mild" and is easily deflected by the earth's magnetic field, so it has little destructive power.

The impact on satellites and communications is also not significant.

But if a solar flare erupts, a strong solar wind will occur.

It is possible to damage man-made spacecraft such as satellites in space.

But it's all natural.

No one would have thought that the principle of solar wind could be used in such a way!

It's simple.

But they all know that in order to really apply it to reality.

There must be very big difficulties!

However, all this was realized by Su Che!

Arguably.

With this equipment, there will be no man-made spacecraft that can threaten the space station!!

"Hahaha......"

"Amei's reaction must be wonderful now!!"

"Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, not only did we lose more than a hundred satellites this time, but we didn't do any damage to our space station at all!"

In the command hall, I remembered bursts of hearty and happy laughter.

Chief Yang also showed a pleased smile.

With this huge hidden danger solved, the space station can finally operate in space with peace of mind.

Come to think of this.

He sent the good news to Sucher.

However, Su Che's reply made his eyes widen again.

"There's even a 3D printing mother machine in one of the modules!?"

"Just use these space junk for basic materials????

If the magnetic storm generator is the weapon of the space station, it represents destruction.

Then the 3D printing mother machine is the embodiment of the creation and rebirth of the space station!

As a top scientist of the level of Chief Engineer Yang, he naturally knows that there is a large 3D printing machine in Su Che's factory.

However, it is said that the 3D printing machine has not yet been perfected.

Therefore, it cannot be used frequently.

But according to Sucher's introduction.

The small 3D printing machine carried in the space station is a product of the technology of the large 3D printing machine machine.

Although the performance is nowhere near as good as that of the large one.

But in terms of reliability and stability, it's better than the big ones!

In the first two large experimental modules, a 3D printing mother machine about 20 meters long was installed in one module!

Let's be honest.

Although Su Che is called a 'small' 3D printing mother machine.

In his mind, this is definitely a behemoth!

Especially compared to the space station, the size of this printing machine is definitely not small!

With this printer machine.

Many of the necessary equipment for space exploration do not have to be launched from the ground in trouble!

Wouldn't it be more convenient to print directly from ready-made materials!?
