Let you make props, what the hell is this space elevator? - Chapter 574
c574 Mid-Autumn Festival fireworks
Chief Luo was lying on the sofa in the office at this time. His son and daughter were all at their posts, and his wife had left long ago. He had nowhere to go during this Mid-Autumn Festival, so he simply didn’t go home and stayed in the office.
He now wanted to test the ball lightning attack equipment, but Jiang Chen did not agree, which made him even more depressed.
Didi——
The message prompt on the personal terminal rang.
Chief Luo picked up the terminal out of boredom, looked up, and immediately sat up when he found that the message was from Jiang Chen.
When he saw Jiang Chen asking him to go to the moon, his whole body became energetic.
The little old man who was just decadent suddenly became energetic.
“Xiao Zou! Help me prepare Baidi, I want to go to the moon!”
Meanwhile, the Space Exploration Rocket Launch Center.
“Are all system states normal?”
“Report, everything is normal!”
At Mark’s signal, a person from the launch center began to say: “This is the rocket launch pad, and we are ready.”
“Start the ignition program now!”
“The rocket’s engine has ignited normally.”
“Countdown begins, launch in 10 seconds.”
“Launch! The Explorer takes off from the ground, and the rocket thrust is normal.”
Mark stared nervously at the big screen in front of him, watching the rocket get higher and higher.
“The rocket lifted off normally and has broken away from the earth’s gravity and entered its intended orbit.”
There was no joy on Mark’s face.
Because entering the predetermined track is only the first step.
And the next most critical step is——
Change track.
Launching satellites is just a cover-up. Their real purpose is to seize more low-Earth orbit space through orbit changes.
Now in low-Earth orbit, there are all Jiang Chen’s masterpieces – quantum satellites, so Mark has to find a way to seize the satellite’s position.
Now basically whoever is stronger can seize the position.
When their satellites descend to low-Earth orbit altitude, if there are other quantum satellites in the position at that time, they will take emergency evasive measures and move away from their original positions when they recognize each other’s position.
In this way, the original position of the quantum satellite belongs to them.
In low-Earth orbit, space is limited and every position is as precious as gold. He knew that to successfully seize these spots, he would need to devise a clever plan.
Prior to this, a professional team supported by Yingjiang began intense work. They first collected detailed information about Jiang Chen’s quantum satellite, including the orbit, location, and avoidance measures that could be obtained.
Then, they set out to design a new satellite, which not only has highly flexible orbital changing capabilities, but is also equipped with advanced reconnaissance equipment that can monitor and identify surrounding quantum satellites in real time.
The team spent nearly two years developing the satellite, carefully tuning its power system and communications equipment.
They also named the satellite “Explorer”, which means the free exploration and occupation of low-Earth orbit space.
Mark set the launch time of the Explorer for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The main reason was that he knew that at this time, the people of the Dragon Kingdom were celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and had no time to notice the movements on their side.
When the explorer reached low-Earth orbit altitude, it quickly deployed its reconnaissance equipment and began scanning for surrounding quantum satellites. Soon after, it discovered one of Jiang Chen’s quantum satellites, located at a key location.
At the ground control center, Mark issued the order: “Explorer, execute plan Alpha.”
After the engineer heard the order, he immediately executed it.
The explorers began to send false signals to Jiang Chen’s satellite, simulating the drift of a satellite. After Jiang Chen’s satellite recognized this situation, it quickly changed its orbit and left its original position according to the predetermined avoidance measures.
Yes!
Everything went as they expected!
It seems that the previous research was not in vain!
This is the moment Mark in Ground Control Center has been waiting for! He knows that as long as they seize the position of quantum satellites, they can build their own new space-to-ground communication network.
Now that the opponent has given up his position, the key now is to grab it!
Under the engineer’s instructions, the explorer immediately adjusted its orbit and flew to the position just vacated by Jiang Chen’s satellite, successfully seizing this critical low-Earth orbit position.
Mark breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was just the beginning, and that he and his team must remain highly vigilant and continue to compete for more positions to ensure that the Explorers can successfully complete the mission.
“Mr. Mark, this time the satellite successfully seized a favorable position for us. Do we need to shorten the launch window now?”
Mark is overjoyed now. The first satellite has been successfully launched, so the second one must speed up the process.
“Try to shorten everything as much as possible. We need to launch as many satellites as possible before the opponent makes any move.”
At this time, MOSS had already reported their situation to Jiang Chen.
“It changed course, right? I knew they had bad intentions. Has Commander Luo arrived at the designated location?”
【Has been reached. 】
“Okay, let Cheng Ying set off. Remember to tell Chief Master Luo that he cannot go out and must stay in Baidi.”
【receive. 】
MOSS controlled the Chengying robot, carrying ball lightning attack equipment, and slowly approached the Explorer satellite.
In the silence of deep space, the Chengying robot floats near the Freedom Explorer satellite. Its surface is covered with a special space alloy and reflects the faint starlight.
It held a strange-looking gun in its hand.
MOSS silently monitors the progress of the Explorer satellites and analyzes various data.
When MOSS detects a potential threat approaching the Explorer satellite, the sensors of the Chengying robot immediately enter an alert state, and the ball lightning attack equipment program also starts, preparing to quickly respond to any possible danger.
MOSS controls the Chengying robot and slowly approaches the Explorer satellite. The MOSS system continuously analyzes the data and strives to maintain control of the situation.
General Master Luo was so anxious when he saw that Cheng Ying had not done anything, that he dialed Jiang Chen’s number.
“Academician Jiang, when will the experiment start? I can hardly hold it in on the White Emperor. If I could get out with a gun, I would get it myself.”
Jiang Chen:……
Did he not expect that the old man would still be so passionate despite his age?
“Chief Master Luo, wait a minute. MOSS needs to obtain the data of the other party’s satellite, so it is constantly testing. Moreover, we have to deal with it, and it is impossible for Chengying to appear openly in front of others.”
“What should we do?”
“Don’t worry, as soon as we find the other party’s detection blind spot, we will take action immediately.”
Commander Luo took a deep breath and relaxed a little. He understood that at this critical moment, calmness and patience were the most important, and he was determined to wait for the right time.
After a while, MOSS finally sent a message.
[Academician Jiang, you can take action now. 】
“Act now.”
Following Jiang Chen’s command, MOSS directed Cheng Ying to adjust the angle and use ball lightning attack equipment to aim at the Explorer satellite.
MOSS accurately adjusted the angle to ensure that the lightning could accurately hit the satellite.
A dazzling ball of light burst out from the front of the ball lightning attack equipment. Its glow illuminated the surrounding sky, like the sudden burst of a star. It crossed the dark night sky like a meteor and ran straight towards the explorer. satellite.
Under the approach of the light ball, cracks began to appear in the shell of the Explorer satellite, and its electronic chips began to hiss as current was injected.
In an instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck the core of the satellite, and arcs of electricity erupted on the surface, making a harsh crackling sound.
The satellite’s chip began to burn, releasing flames and black smoke, creating an eye-catching sight. At this moment, the Explorer satellite lost contact with the ground launch center and its functionality was completely destroyed.
On the moon.
“Look, it looks like a firework over there!” Mai Mai shouted loudly in the headset, and everyone in the public channel looked into the distance.
In the distance, a firework suddenly rose.
People on the moon and the space station were all attracted by the sight before them.
The lucky audience who was invited even said there——
“I didn’t expect that we can watch fireworks during the festival on the moon! Isn’t this arranged by Director Guo?”
“No, Director Guo is reluctant to spend money to set off fireworks for us. I think it should be Academician Jiang!”
“Academician Jiang? Is this true? It’s so spectacular. I will remember today for the rest of my life!”
“Although these fireworks are a little smaller than those on Blue Star, they feel completely different!”
Guo Fan was extremely embarrassed when he heard the comments from these viewers.
He did not expect that he would be called stingy to his face. Although this was indeed the case, Guo Fan was still surprised by the bold speeches of these audience members.
He could only say euphemistically: “Actually, the funds are not enough this time because we sent a lot of mooncakes, which is why we didn’t buy fireworks.”
“Really? But I don’t believe it when Academician Jiang is here.”
“Yes, as long as Director Guo has Academician Jiang’s help, he will definitely not be poor! Behind Academician Jiang, there is an official father!”
Director Guo really wanted to cry. The audience this time was definitely paying for their phone calls, and everyone was slapping him!
At this time, Jiang Chen didn’t know that Guo Fan would have such thoughts.
He was enjoying the fireworks with his family on Baidi.
“These fireworks are different from those on the ground, but they are still beautiful!” Li Lan had never seen fireworks burning in the sky and couldn’t help but look at them a few more times.
“If you like this, we can watch it several more times in the future!”
Anyway, it was not his own satellite that was blown up, so Jiang Chen didn’t feel bad at all.
On the blue star.
“What’s going on! Why did the satellite suddenly lose contact!”
“You ask me, I ask who is going to go! When this satellite lost contact, there was no warning at all!”
“Didn’t you find any clues in the surveillance video?”
“It would be strange to find it! There are no clues at all!”
“Where’s the data! What’s the data on the satellite? Get it out quickly!” Mark shouted eagerly.
He couldn’t believe that the satellite that had just occupied its position was now scrapped!
People in the Space Exploration Company immediately became busy.
