America.

Virginia.

Office 4C-956 of the Pentagon, with the name "Space Systems Office" hanging on the door of the office, is actually the headquarters of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in America.

Major General Robert, who was still drinking coffee just now (the head of the NRO is usually served concurrently by the general of the American Air Force), suddenly a phone on the desk rang.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"General, it's an emergency, please go to monitoring room No. 5 immediately."

"OK, I'll be right there."

Robert got up quickly, pushed open the door, and quickly went to one of the monitoring rooms.

In the monitoring room, there are a large number of electronic equipment and computers on display, and more than [-] staff members are still busy.

Arthur, the director of the office, pulled Robert to one of the computers: "General, just 67 seconds ago, a target flew into outer space from the middle of the Longerang Mountains in Hongshawady."

"What?" Robert's eyes widened. He quickly looked at the computer's satellite monitoring data and found that there was indeed a target with an extremely astonishing speed.

"Report, the monitoring target stays at an altitude of 647 kilometers in low-Earth orbit, and it seems to be correcting the orbit." Another staff member reported.

Robert couldn't help but swear: "Fack... 163 seconds? The average speed is Mach 11 per second?"

"..." Arthur didn't know how to describe his inner feelings, so he could only order: "Continue to monitor, and mobilize satellites to conduct a comprehensive monitoring of the central part of the Longerang Mountains in Hongshawadi."

"receive."

Robert, who calmed down a little, looked at the data in front of him, his face was already very serious: "Damn it! How did they do it?"

Suddenly, the staff of the electromagnetic wave signal monitoring team turned their heads and reported: "General, that satellite has transmitted a clear signal."

"Translate here." Arthur ordered quickly.

"OK."

After a while, the clear-coded electromagnetic wave signal sent by Hongshawadi-[-] was analyzed.

［洪沙瓦底太空战略部向全世界宣告：我方于西元2022年1月6日，上午11时21分，成功发射洪沙瓦底一号通讯卫星，该卫星重4.2吨……］
[Hongshawadi will take the principle of peaceful development of outer space and strive to contribute to the development of human civilization and the universe. The future of mankind is the sea of ​​stars, and the future of Hongshawadi is also the sea of ​​stars...]
[Special announcement: At 14:20 this afternoon, we will launch another geological exploration satellite code-named "Venus", please do not overreact...]
Snapped!Robert patted the printed translation on his desk.

Wang Defa!Don't overreact yet?
Facing an aircraft with a speed of more than ten Mach, it is estimated that no one can calm down.

At this time, the door of the monitoring room was roughly pushed open, and an old man in general uniform walked in.

Robert immediately stood up and saluted: "General Alexander!"

"How's the situation?" Alexander glanced at everyone sharply.

Robert swallowed his throat, and quickly reported the situation clearly
After listening to the report, Alexander frowned: "A launch vehicle with an average speed of more than ten Mach?"

"No! It's not a launch vehicle." Arthur, who was a professional aerospace engineer, shook his head and explained:

"The speed of this aircraft is from the ground to the Karman line, it is in a downward state, and it does not accelerate again until it breaks the Karman line. This is definitely not a launch vehicle."

Alexander frowned: "What is that? Could it be a shell?"

"Guys, do you still remember the Barbados cannon? I guess Hongshawadi used similar technology to launch satellites." Arthur reminded.

Alexander looked at Robert: "Is it the Barbados cannon that the Air Force cooperated with Maple Leaf?"

Robert nodded: "Yes, the Barbados cannon could indeed launch a load of more than 100 kilograms into low-Earth orbit."

"Is that satellite really 4.2 tons?" Alexander's expression became more serious.

Arthur shook his head: "No, it's not just 4.2 tons. Judging from the size we monitored, it's at least 6 tons. Maybe the other party didn't calculate the fuel they carried."

Hearing this data, Alexander's expression became even uglier.

As the head of the Pentagon, Alexander is not the relatively simple idea of ​​a male aerospace engineer like NASA.

Instead, they are thinking about whether the aerospace technology owned by Hongshawadi will pose a threat to America once it is transformed into military technology. This kind of typical Cold War thinking is basically the mainstream of the Pentagon.

Alexander thought for a while: "Robert, you organize a special team as soon as possible to assess Hongshawadi's aviation technology and the degree of threat it may pose to our mainland."

"OK." Robert nodded.

Under the command of Robert, the NRO quickly mobilized some satellites to monitor the Longerang Mountains in Hongshawadi, and organized professionals to conduct a careful analysis of the Hongshawadi-[-] satellite and its launch technology.

the other side.

Changi base at Sing Tao.

Inside the headquarters of the black ship in Southeast Asia, Tom also learned that Hongshawadi launched an artificial earth satellite half an hour ago through the radar set up at the base and the information fed back from the mainland.

This matter makes Tom feel extremely difficult now.

……

at the same time.

The world's major powers, or regional bullies, and countries with relatively strong aerospace technology have all discovered the satellite launched by Hongshawadi one after another.

For example, East Asia, Japan and South Korea have detected the satellite clear code broadcast of Hongshawadi.

As for a certain big eastern country, let alone the Hongshawadi-[-] was detected by its large-scale radar as soon as it was launched.

Also detected immediately, there is also the recently suspicious Tianzhu.

Then Lucia, Europe, Britain and other forces, as well as Australia, also detected the radar signal of the unidentified aircraft.

Through the clear broadcast of the Hongshawadi-[-] satellite, the forces all over the world capable of receiving outer space signals have also gradually learned about this matter.

Western Shu Province.

Rongcheng.

Inside a farmhouse in the suburbs.

The man with glasses looked at the internal bulletin in his hand, his eyes flashed brightly, and he raised his head: "Old Zhang, haven't your people noticed this project?"

The middle-aged man with a square face put down his teacup and shook his head: "No, none of the three major groups in Hongshawadi have announced this project. At present, their apparent aerospace project is the launch vehicle project of Hugang Base. It's the only space program that can be investigated."

"It's not simple, it's really not simple, that man is really not simple." The man with glasses now attaches great importance to Hong Sawadi.

Of course, Lao Zhang knew who the man in glasses was talking about. He rubbed his temples: "From the analysis of the aerospace department, this should be a project similar to the Barbados cannon."

"For a 4.2-ton satellite, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace the satellite with a warhead, right?" the man in glasses guessed viciously.

"This is a cannon, and its real purpose is to fire bullets." Lao Zhang suddenly said another thing:

"Now I suspect more and more that Hong Sawadi was the one behind the incident in Assam."

The man with glasses reacted instantly: "Those 300mm cannons?"

"Yes, after all, since the 90s of the last century, the major powers have basically not developed artillery with a caliber of more than 200mm, and it is even more impossible for Assam to produce a cannon with a caliber of 300mm by itself."

After listening to Lao Zhang's analysis, the man with glasses felt the same way.

The corners of the glasses man's mouth rose: "It seems that the second satellite in the afternoon is probably not just a satellite!"
