On May 1, Labor Day, the Tianwen-2 probe was successfully launched in Wenchang.

On May 3, Tianwen-3 was successfully launched in Jiuquan, and on the same day, during the second landing of the Tianmu-4 exploration mission, the 1.5 million tons of hydrogen bomb used in the test explosion was placed at the predetermined location.

On May 5, Tianwen-4 was also successfully launched in Jiuquan, and a few hours later, the Kennedy Space Center launched a Falcon Heavy and launched two probes to Mars.

On the evening of May 6, the Jiuzhang spacecraft departed from the Wutu space station for the third time, preparing for the last short landing, and then stayed in lunar orbit to wait for the test explosion before landing.

Only two astronauts from the Yushu base remained on the moon, and the remaining two were arranged with experts in the space station, and they were on the back side of the explosion during the test explosion.

In Qiongzhou, the Long March 18 is preparing for the launch mission the next morning, preparing to send the "Zhurong" to Mars, and the launch site is another large number of ships gathered off the coast of Wengjia Bay.

Just when the whole world was marveling at the fireworks of Mars launch missions these days, and looking forward to the first blasting operation on the moon, a number of unexpected breaking news suddenly appeared:

"Aramco calls for a re-examination of the legality of the United Mining Company's use of hydrogen bombs for blasting operations."

"Aramco Representative to the United Nations: There are huge loopholes in the Outer Space Treaty, and it is recommended to launch a new round of meetings to revise it."

"John called on the world to push for the disarming of outer space and not to let space become the fourth battlefield of mankind."

"Former hexagonal officials have called for a new round of nuclear disarmament and the elimination of more nuclear weapons to improve world stability."

"Mass protest by environmental groups in Stockholm: absolutely no deployment of weapons in space in any form."

……

Four days ago.

Anthony's conclusions are so terrifying that David, who has always considered himself to be above earth, is difficult to digest.

He personally gathered his staff overnight, and recounted all the suspicious incidents about NX17 and XAP's financial expenditures, and with the great cooperation of hundreds of experts and the Intelligence Bureau, David finally accepted the conclusion that he was most reluctant to believe with a gloomy face:

NX17 is an attack satellite with nuclear reactor as the main energy source and laser as the main means, and the targets cover ordinary aircraft, ballistic missiles, satellites in orbit, spacecraft, etc., and is a super weapon that covers the entire earth from low earth orbit and even synchronous orbit without dead ends.

The crash of No. 2231 has also been almost confirmed, and the Air Force Intelligence Office has collected a pitiful amount of public information at the time of its crash, which, combined with the various events that followed, believes that it is extremely unlikely to carry out the claimed "new engine test", which is not strictly speaking.

The most obvious point is that the GJ-21 used in the test is a single-engine model, and generally airlines test new engines, and they will choose a twin-engine model for testing, and only one new engine will be equipped to prevent a crash.

At the same time, according to public information, the XW-9 series is a typical high-altitude high-speed engine, and the confirmed J20B is equipped with it.

There is also some orbital data at the time, NX17 happened to move to the sky above the Xinyuan base at the time of the 2231 crash, and according to the estimation of technical experts, there was exactly a few minutes of attack window, if this is also a coincidence, then it may not be too far-fetched.

The black hole of $15 billion in funds discovered through financial analysis has almost been explained, and the development of such a laser satellite, even if it is $50 billion, is not an exaggeration, and $15 billion is not to mention.

It makes sense, everything makes sense.

The NX17 is small in weight and size, and there is only one target aircraft that can be confirmed in the real interception case, but technical experts are 100% sure that its ultimate target must be a ballistic missile.

The NX2231 crashed at a speed of more than Mach 2, suggesting that the NX17 at least had the ability to intercept missiles during launch, and they must have conducted other tests in the past year, but they were too stealthy to detect them.

With the interception efficiency of the laser, whether it is a missile in the launch stage or a warhead that descends at the end, it can be destroyed as long as it locks under the attack at the speed of light, and although it is difficult, it is not out of reach.

Even if the NX17 doesn't work, the follow-up models that the Chinese people secretly studied will definitely be bigger and stronger, maybe the NX17 is just to verify the idea, and then make a really terrible big thing after confirming that it is correct, just like the "Steki DM".

The second signal recorded in the Hexagonal database, the one in December, NX17 has reached a synchronous orbit by continuously ascending its orbit.

At this orbital altitude, three evenly spaced laser satellites cover major areas of the globe and are capable of intercepting nuclear missiles in all directions.

Combined with the timing, it was the time for the Toshima nuclear power plant to be cleaned up, and perhaps they took the opportunity to conduct a real exercise, but the power was very low just to try the actual combat effect.

And this shows that NX17 is still active, and the Chinese people are at least part of the right thing, and the next generation may have been made.

Everything became clear: XAP was the contractor (or one of them) of NX17, and they probably accepted the laser satellite project long ago, or they may have been involved afterwards, in short, played an irreplaceable and important role in the manufacture of NX17.

After the NX17 was successfully manufactured, it was launched under camouflage by a private enterprise, who would doubt that the Chinese used a private company to launch a top-secret military payload?

Originally, their laser technology was on par with Aramco (?). And with such a big investment, maybe it has surpassed Ami now!

There should be only one NX17 so far, and other launch missions are traceable and can be ruled out, but this does not mean that the laser satellite project of the Chinese people has been temporarily stalled.

On the contrary, if NX17 fails, they should modify and launch new improvements to continue testing, rather than actively using it until last year.

At the very least, the NX17 proved that the idea and technical route were successful, so that there was no need to build more demonstrators, but to concentrate on creating a more powerful "complete body" that could intercept missiles over a large area.

The mass of the "complete body" should be around 80 to 100 tons, and once launched, it will not be able to pass the test like the NX17, which will inevitably cause a wide range of speculation.

There is absolutely such a possibility: after confirming the technical route, directly start mass production of two or three "complete bodies", and quickly launch them into a synchronous orbit is enough to protect the security of their own country, and then they will be able to establish an absolutely invincible good situation.

For at least 5 years, only one side in the world will have a powerful laser defense system, and military power will show a huge advantage in a way that overwhelms the others:

As a land nation with extremely deep depth, it is almost impossible to defeat after holding up a space umbrella, and can unscrupulously launch a nuclear threat or ...... Really start using nuclear weapons.

By the day the "full body" is announced, that is, when this ambitious nuclear blackmail program begins, then the whole world will be covered in a haze, and no one else will be able to turn over!
