From university lecturer to chief academician.

Chapter 370 Emergency, the satellite was hit by a ray weapon!

Wang Hao doesn't need to worry about the experimental method.

The current experimental participants include not only the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, but also representatives of the science and technology department, military science and technology representatives, and other institutions that cooperate with the research. They can all provide opinions and fully cooperate to complete the experiment goals.

The study of F-rays is the top priority, and the transmission distance is also very important data.

The research team held a meeting soon and worked out several feasible methods, for example, launching a balloon tens of thousands of meters high as the target of the F-ray attack.

For example, through detailed calculations, launch in the direction of the inclination of the ground, penetrate and strike targets tens of kilometers away.

No matter what the goal is, it is necessary to improve the direction and control the problem.

The research team came up with a good method, which is to design a balanced helical magnetic field channel outside the helical magnetic field to correct the direction of F-ray emission.

After the F-ray is released, it will be affected by the magnetic field, and the orientation can be corrected through the helical magnetic field channel, which solves the problem of F-ray offset to a certain extent.

"In theory, it will increase the accuracy by more than 90.00% five."

He Yi found Wang Hao and explained the solution.

Wang Hao was still very satisfied with the solution, and he signed the plan to allow the experiment to proceed quickly.

In the next half month, the experimental base began to continuously produce and release F-rays to obtain data and improve the layout design of the spiral magnetic field channel.

While waiting for the news, Wang Hao continued to devote himself to the research. He has not talked about the main direction with others. One is because the experiment has not yet reached a specific conclusion. The other is that he hopes that other people can diverge their thinking and come up with some new ideas. s things.

Once the main direction is explained, the research can be said to be fixed, and it is basically impossible to think of any novel ideas.

……

A week later.

On the other side of the earth, the American National Satellite Center Building.

In a satellite control room, a large group of people are staring at pictures on a large screen and exchanging opinions in whispers.

The picture shows a damaged satellite, and there is an obvious black spot on the side of the satellite and the solar panels above.

There was an official in a green suit sitting in the middle, his name was Adrian Davis, and a technician was explaining, "At 21:331 p.m. yesterday, this satellite code-named SY-[-], The connection with the ground was suddenly lost, and after the automatic detection device was activated, the main line panel of the return information was burned."

"At that time, SY-331 was 131 kilometers from the ground, and its position was above the no-man's land in West Tarik. The coordinates..."

"At first we thought it was just a signal transmission problem, but the communication was interrupted for half an hour. Later, we controlled the CPS-935 to circle around and approached. It was not until an hour ago that this photo was taken."

"From the photos, it looks like SY-331 was hit and damaged by some kind of ray that can penetrate metal equipment."

"Of course, there may be an internal problem, but the solar panels cannot explain it. We recommend that the satellite be recovered safely before we can draw a specific conclusion..."

"Recycle?"

The official sitting on the main seat was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Cooperate with the Space Exploration Corporation? Use the space shuttle? The investment is too high, and the time is too late."

Everyone knows that the best way to detect satellite problems is of course recycling.

However, satellite recycling is not a small project. Such worthless satellites usually crash naturally when their lifespan expires.

The current SY-331 motherboard is burnt out, and the battery used for emergency repair can only last about five days at most. The satellite orbit altitude is only about 130 kilometers. If it is lower, it will enter the atmosphere, and then it will crash quickly. It is impossible to recover it safely. It was too late.

Adrian Davis thought about it and said, "You said, is it possible that SY-331 was hit by some kind of weapon on the ground?"

Someone subconsciously said, "If it was a missile, wouldn't it just explode?"

At an altitude of more than 100 kilometers, it is not surprising to be hit by an 'anti-satellite missile'.

Although it has not been made public, some big countries are likely to have similar technologies, but similar technologies are a bit tasteless, because the orbits of many military satellites are at an altitude of 500 kilometers, and some even exceed [-] kilometers.

This kind of height can only be shot down by intercontinental missiles, but intercontinental missiles...

Isn't that just the cannon hitting mosquitoes?

Even if it hits with one hit, it feels like a big loss!

"Probably some kind of high-tech weapon, isn't it a ray that can penetrate metal?"

"What kind of ray specifically, there is no such ray at all..."

"Perhaps brand new, undiscovered?"

"The technology will be so mature? Can it directly hit high-altitude satellites? The development speed is too fast!"

"I think it's most likely some kind of satellite weapon, not from the ground, but from above? The altitude of SY-331 is only 131 kilometers. If a certain satellite above can launch a ray weapon..."

"It's possible..."

A large group of people immediately discussed.

Of course, the discussion would not lead to any results. They contacted the higher authorities, but decided to release the news, but what they released was not the real content, but a slight 'correction'.

For example, the orbital altitude is corrected to 260 km.

For example, the code name of SY-331 was changed to SN3-R3 (commercial).

The final information released was, "The SN3-R3 satellite suddenly failed when it was traveling over the uninhabited area of ​​​​Tariq, and the main circuit panel burned out. It will start to lose control and fall into the atmosphere in four days."

"From the analysis of the returned photos, SN3-R3 was hit by some kind of anti-satellite ray weapon. After professional analysis, it may be an anti-satellite weapon secretly developed by a certain country."

"We will detect the location of SN3-R3 at any time, and disclose the specific crash location in time..."

……

The information released by the satellite center immediately attracted the attention of public opinion.

The sudden and serious failure of a commercial satellite is not something that needs special attention. There are too many satellites in space, and there will always be satellites that fail and crash.

But the analysis in it said that it was "hit by an anti-satellite ray weapon" and "may be a weapon secretly developed by a certain country."

Although the name of the country was not specifically mentioned, everyone knows where the Tarik No Man's Land is, and the anti-satellite ray weapons are very attractive.

Soon, a large number of media forwarded the news, and many people participated in the discussion--
"Are you sure the satellite was hit by a weapon? Sounds a little too sci-fi!"

"What country? Isn't it a flower grower?"

"I feel that the news is a bit weird. Does the flower grower have such a high level of technology? Or is it a ray weapon?"

"According to this statement, our satellites are not safe anymore. If there is a war, just raise the white flag..."

"The threat of this weapon is too great!"

"Why do I feel that this news is so unreliable? It's just talking about ray weapons, what kind of ray weapons? It didn't say anything at all! What's the principle? It looks like news that splashed dirty water."

"Agree upstairs, there are always similar news, but most of them are fake news."

"..."

There are various discussions in the international public opinion. Most people do not believe the authenticity of the news, mainly because the anti-satellite ray weapon sounds a bit too fake.

If the news is true, "a certain country" is also deliberately targeting satellites, which is definitely a major friction event.

But in fact, there is no news at all in other fields, only an announcement from the satellite center.

Even so, the heat of international public opinion is still only increasing, because the satellite was hit by a weapon, which itself is very topical.

Many international organizations are now researching space weapons, and the main targets of space weapons are satellites.

Satellites are so important to human technology.

In terms of technology, satellites are indispensable for communication and signal transmission. Ordinary people need to use navigation when they go out, which is also a function brought by satellites.

In a military sense, all kinds of high-tech weapons need to rely on satellite guidance and positioning. The party without satellite technology support will directly become blind on the battlefield.

If there is some kind of weapon capable of destroying satellites, it can even determine the outcome of the war.

In the field of research on anti-satellite weapons, many institutions initially manufactured missiles that can directly destroy satellites launched from the ground, because missile technology is mature and has a history of tens or hundreds of years.

However, as early as 20 years ago, most institutions gave up this path.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know the reason.

Not to mention using ground missiles to strike satellites hundreds of kilometers away, it is extremely difficult even to strike aircraft at an altitude of [-] kilometers. is 'unshootable'.

Even if the satellite has a fixed orbit, it is not easy to shoot it down. If a missile launched from the ground wants to hit a high-altitude target hundreds of kilometers away, it must use an intercontinental-level missile.

The minimum cost of each intercontinental missile is over [-] million US dollars.

Satellites are relatively cheap. For example, the Starlink satellites launched by the famous Space Exploration Company cost only 100 to [-] million US dollars per satellite, which is much lower than the launch itself.

Even if it is launched separately each time, the cost of a satellite does not exceed 5000 million U.S. dollars.

Using intercontinental missiles with a cost of over [-] million to hit satellites with a cost of tens of millions or less, there is still a high probability that they will not be able to hit...

This is obviously a loss-making business.

Therefore, many institutions researching anti-satellite weapons hope to develop space weapons, that is, launch weapons into space as a special satellite, and use a strike method similar to an "ion cannon" to target satellites strike.

Now the Satellite Center mentions 'anti-satellite ray weapons', which makes people a little confused.

There are all kinds of opinions in the public opinion, most of them think that it is "everyday splashing dirty water", and there is no point of discussion.

However, the insiders who really knew the situation still held a meeting to discuss it, because the black dots appearing on the two straight lines on the satellite graphics looked really strange.

However, most people are still prone to self-damage, or the collision of space junk.

"Ray weapons are just an idea. In fact, everyone knows that the possibility is very low, very low."

"We don't have this kind of technology, and there is a high probability that florists will not have it, and neither will other countries."

"That requires very high-end technology. It is basically impossible to release it from the ground. The only possibility is from space. However, we have a complete space detection system and have not found any satellites with weapon functions..."

"In space, whether in terms of detection means or the number of satellites, we have an absolute advantage..."

This is the mainstream view.

A scholar put forward an unexpected point of view, "Is it possible that it is related to the study of strong annihilation force?"

"Strong annihilation force?"

"Yes, that is an area beyond our control. The research on strong annihilation force is currently the exclusive technology of florists. They have been doing this research. No one knows how it is going."

"Although the probability is extremely small, and I can't think of the specifics, it is always a possibility..."

Since it is possible, we need to explore it.

So after the meeting ended, some investigators went to the former director of the new technology research department of Los Alamos Laboratory in Ruiyi, and now the head of the International Annihilation Theory Research Organization--
Empoli Cooper.

……

Swiss iodine.

The experimental base of the International Annihilation Theory Research Organization.

Empoli-Cooper waited until the investigator. He thought that the other party was here to care about the progress of the experiment, so he continued to introduce, "All parts of the equipment have arrived, and we are debugging them separately."

"After this round of debugging, the various parts of the equipment can be combined together. In theory, a strong annihilation force field can be created."

"If everything is normal, it will only take about a month..."

Empoli Cooper was a little excited when he said that. He has been doing this job since he came to Ruiiod.

Now the work goal is about to be completed, and everyone in the experimental base is very much looking forward to seeing the 'dark space'.

That was so fascinating.

"At that time, we can conduct a lot of research, including the characteristics of strong annihilation force, including some other..."

Empoli Cooper's words became more and more professional, which also made the investigator feel a little headache. He couldn't help interrupting him and said, "I didn't come to ask this."

"what?"

Empoli Cooper froze.

The investigator said, "Mr. Cooper, have you followed the latest news? Satellite damage, ray weapons?"

"You said that?"

Empoli Cooper immediately realized that he had heard someone say it two days ago, and he said sarcastically, 'It's ridiculous.In contrast, I am more willing to believe that Wang Hao's team has developed an anti-gravity moon landing spacecraft'.

Now hearing the inquiry from the investigator, Empoli Cooper asked in puzzlement, "Why are you talking about this?"

"Some people think that it may be related to the study of strong annihilation force."

"..."

Empoli-Cooper opened his mouth slightly in surprise, didn't say a word for a long time, and finally covered his stomach and laughed, "What did you say? Ray weapons are related to the study of strong annihilation force? You mean, strong Can the annihilation force have the function of penetrating space, directly hitting satellites at an altitude of several hundred kilometers?"

"Haha, it's so ridiculous..."

The investigator's face darkened, and he immediately emphasized, "Mr. Kubo, I didn't say this, I was just in charge of questioning."

"Well, well, of course I'm not laughing at you."

"Hahaha~~~"

"Sorry, I really can't hold back. If I tell this matter, I believe everyone in the base will be very happy today..."

"Hahaha……"

"Well, I will answer you formally now, it is impossible! There is no possibility at all. This matter has nothing to do with the study of strong annihilation force!"

"Hahaha~~~"

In the end, the investigator left with a dark face, and he didn't think that the matter of the satellite had anything to do with the strong annihilation force.

He just came to ask questions!

This is his job!

laugh?
what's so funny!

"This nasty, disgusting, disrespectful, ugly Empoli Cooper..."

"I really hope it has something to do with the strong annihilation force. It's better to be directly related. When the time comes, laugh? Is he the one who should cry?"

"Oh~~~"
