Manhattan.

"The United Nations has initiated a re-vote on Resolution (1884), adopted unanimously on 17 October 1963, to discuss the adoption of the latest amended provisions."

"Pursuant to the unanimous resolution adopted by the Permanent Members of the Security Council on 20 September 2017, Article IV of the Outer Space Treaty, adopted by resolution 1884, is amended as follows:

'Nuclear-weapon or any other anti-personnel weapon entity shall not be deployed in low-Earth orbit, on other celestial bodies, or in any other place or in outer space in any form; The prohibition of the establishment of military bases and weapons tests in low-Earth orbit, celestial bodies and other outer space shall remain in force, provided that the following shall not be subject to this provision:

First, based on the need for the peaceful development and utilization of space resources, the use of nuclear blasting devices of the same principle is required, after obtaining a license issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency, they may apply to a legally qualified nuclear energy agency or company for the use of a blasting device that mainly reacts to fusion, and use it under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and shall not be recognized as a weapon entity as provided for in Article IV;

Second, when encountering possible physical threats in space, such as asteroids, meteorites, and space debris, which may pose a threat to human life and the natural environment, or cause major property losses, and the legitimate nuclear-armed states need to retaliate after the joint agreement, it will not be regarded as contrary to the original intention of the establishment of the "Outer Space Jump";

Note: All of the above supplementary provisions are intended to facilitate the peaceful exploitation and utilization of space resources by mankind and to protect human safety in the atmosphere. ”

The Secretary-General then proceeded to the plenary voting.

With 164 votes in favor, 25 votes against and 4 abstentions, more than 85% of the votes in favor, the resolution passed!

Most of the votes against were Nordic countries that opposed it in the name of environmental protection, but Yukio Takasu, the representative of the island nation, also expressed his opposition to the use of nuclear bombs under any circumstances.

At the same time, the island nation was the only one of the nine non-permanent members to oppose it, allowing everyone to take their attention.

Not only did the protest inside the venue, but the Manhattan police outside the building had just stopped a demonstration, mainly for people from the island nation, to publicize the harm caused by nuclear weapons.

After the completion of the statistical declaration, the Secretary-General was clear about this, and his eyes deliberately stayed on Yukio Takasu for a while before the meeting ended.

After the meeting, Yukio Takasu also accepted a public interview with reporters, clenching his fists in front of the camera and shouting:

"The people of the world will never forget how terrible the harm nuclear weapons have brought to mankind, and any relaxation of restrictions on their use is dangerous, and we still call for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and the abandonment of the terrible strategy of mutual destruction!"

After talking in front of reporters, Yukio Takasu returned to the car and showed that he was already over 70 years old, and it was time to submit his resignation.

At this time, the attendant told him the news that the Toshima pollution investigation team, consisting of experts from many countries, had arrived in Edo, and a total of 13 experts from seven countries had arrived in Edo.

……

Qinling.

Separated by an area in the forest at the foot of the mountain, a medium-sized stadium-sized building was built with steel structure, but only with a frame.

If you look down from above with a drone, you can see that the structure has a Lelo triangle as a whole, which is extremely conspicuous in the dense forest.

In the prefabricated camp in the forest, Ding Biyun, wearing a blue engineering hat, was almost indistinguishable from the construction workers, and for several months he was in the forest supervising the construction of the first ground receiving antenna array of the day-by-day project.

The professor at this prestigious university had a dark skin on his face and a much thinner body, but his eyes still sparkled.

Just yesterday, a Long March-7A rocket put the first batch of experimental space power satellites "Chiwu-1" into a synchronous transfer orbit, which is actually a bunch of solar panels.

After the launch of the day-by-day project, the space agency "drove out" several chief engineers and set up a private company specializing in solar cells to produce the super-large, over-life, and high-efficiency solar cells required for the day-by-day project.

Subsequently, Xinyuan also injected capital into the company with the name "Kuafu", and produced the first batch of solar cells for testing in August:

K1 folding ultra-large area solar cell: a single unfolded size of 11.8*11.8 meters, an effective area of nearly 140 square meters, a power generation capacity of 56 kilowatts, a total weight of about 348 kilograms, and a power generation of 0.4 kilowatts per square meter.

With the carrying capacity of the Long March 7, the test satellite sent up this time has 8 K1 batteries, which are deployed in a ring after reaching the geostationary orbit, and the most critical microwave transmitter is in the middle, with a mass of 11 tons, a theoretical power generation capacity of 448 kilowatts, and a theoretical power transmission to the ground of 410 kilowatts, with a transmission efficiency of 91.5%.

In Ding's vision, the efficiency of mature solar arrays in the future will be increased by another 24% to 0.5 kilowatts per square meter, and the microwave transmission efficiency will be increased to about 94%.

However, in fact, the first verification test has been beyond expectations, Ding Biyun's original plan was to test and launch a satellite with a power generation of about 10 kilowatts for the first time, and a simple verification can be done, but Xinyuan Company believes that the scale is too small and of little value, and then the power of the test system has been increased to such a large size now, Ding Biyun himself is a little uncomfortable, and can only do his best to complete the development of space-based satellites and ground receiving systems.

"Chief Engineer Ding, the satellite said that it is ready, and now the angles of the eight solar panels are aligned, and the power generation is 454 kilowatts, which can be tested on the ground."

"Check the precautions first, or be careful."

"Yes!"

Ding Bijun attaches great importance to safety, and the receiving antenna array is one kilometer away from the control room, just to avoid excessive microwave radiation for personnel.

The microwave transmitter installed on "Chiwu-1" can accurately control the coverage area not exceeding 400 meters in diameter, which can not only avoid waste but also facilitate practical control, but also make the target area microwave radiation very large, although it is not fatal in a short time, but it is still a threat to personnel.

At the same time, the system also uses laser calibration, and the positioning of the microwave emitter is completed in less than half an hour.

After confirming that the laser calibration was okay again, Ding Bijun gave the order to start the test.

Less than a second after the signal was given, he felt a brief slight itch on his skin, as if it was being illuminated by the sun, and then it disappeared as if it were an illusion, and only the faint goosebumps could be felt.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to this, the antenna array on the ground reacted earlier than the human body, and the microwave radiation intensity meter and the power generation number, which were originally stable "0", immediately began to beat and quickly broke through the triple digits.

The morning at the foot of the mountain was full of coldness, but the originally cold metal antenna array began to heat up slightly, and although the heat per unit volume was very small, the infrared camera that had been set up long ago still captured the air as if it were suddenly boiling.

The fish that had not been expelled by the bird repellent scrambled to fly up from the gap in the dense forest, flapping their wings and fleeing without looking back, scattering in all directions with the antenna array as the center.
