Chapter Nine hundred and Ninety - Success is garbage, defeat is garbage
This is all due to the instigation of the Americans. No one expected that this large Chinese space station (foreign countries did not know it was an aerospace port) actually had a laser cannon and opened fire without saying a word.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency can only watch helplessly as one of its spy satellites worth 50 million U.S. dollars turns into space junk, and in half an hour it will become garbage among garbage.
Before Japan had time to immediately protest to China, Chinese news media had already announced that China had recently conducted a large-scale laser weapon experiment and successfully hit a target "space junk".
.
Space junk?
Damn space junk!
It doesn't matter whether the target was a Japanese spy satellite. Before the Japanese official protested, the satellite had truly become what the Chinese call "space junk" and was destroyed in the impact after losing control.
Destroy traces.
After the "Buzhou Mountain" plan was launched, China's attitude suddenly became very tough.
"Well done!"
“Effortless effort!”
In the attitude control cabin of the "Buzhou Mountain" skyport, Wang Xuejun and Meng Yinan, who had completed a one-hit kill, bumped fists to celebrate.
As for the Japanese protests, who cares!
"Something is not good!"
Astronaut Si Qiang, who was on the other side of the console, was staring at the screen in front of him with a solemn expression. His hands were rapidly typing on the keyboard, as if he was performing some kind of complex operation.
"What happened?"
Wang Xuejun put away his smile, stood up from his seat, and approached Si Qiang.
"Look at the prediction chart I just made on the screen. The Japanese satellite made an evasive maneuver before being shot down. Now it has drifted towards this space junk orbit. It is expected to collide in twenty minutes and then hit another one.
The cluster of debris will cause at least eleven chain impacts. After calculation, a total of 53,821 debris will be scattered within a diameter of 23,678 kilometers. In total, there will be as many as 179 flying objects that pose a fatal threat to the air and space port."
Si Qiang pointed to the flight trajectories of space debris calculated by computer data models, and wrapped the "Buzhou Mountain" skyport in extremely fine detail. The space debris included various meteorite fragments, artificial satellite fragments, and spacecraft.
Leaking solid and liquid materials, rocket and spacecraft explosions, debris generated during collisions, and even entire rocket engines.
"How could this happen? Can it be avoided?"
Wang Xuejun was a little anxious. He had just killed a thief-minded "spy" a second ago, but he didn't expect that the "spy"'s body would trigger a meteor shower in space, which was simply a super-large-scale super-high-speed shotgun.
"We can't avoid it! Our luck is really bad!"
Si Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. God knew that the Japanese spy satellite's remote control evasion could be so unlucky and cause such a terrible chain reaction. Even if Meng Yinan launched the attack one second earlier or one second later, such a coincidence would not have occurred.
With the help of powerful computing resources of supercomputers on the ground, it was repeatedly calculated that these space junks that deviated from the original direction completely blocked the forward and backward paths. Not only that, they also destroyed the safety of higher and lower orbits, making the China Space Administration known as "Buzhou Mountain".
"The safe low-Earth orbit arranged by the Skyport has also become dangerous.
The "Buzhou Mountain" space port is too huge. If it were shaped like the International Space Station, it would be possible to avoid a few hits from the cracks of the computer and hide in a safer orbit. However, in order to accommodate more
The spaceport for space vehicles is much clumsy.
Even though there are engines in every corner, they cannot be turned on casually. Once the power is unevenly distributed, it is easy to break the entire skyport into pieces like biscuits.
Space accidents are no small matter, they are full of serious murderous intent.
"Damn it!" Wang Xuejun's face became extremely ugly, and he continued: "Is there anything else we can do?"
"have!"
Unexpectedly, Si Qiang nodded, pointed outside the cabin, and said: "As long as we can turn on the repulsion shield, we can save the day. At least those small fragments can be completely ignored, but we may not be able to make it in time." He looked at it.
Looking at the time, the first round of impact will arrive in 57 minutes. This is an almost impossible task for a two-hour operation.
"Isn't it possible to use laser cannons to attack?" Meng Yinan intervened in the conversation between the two: "High-energy lasers can directly vaporize targets in space. Large debris can be pushed away using electromagnetic railguns. Coupled with buffer umbrellas, it should be able to cover the sky.
Move the port to a safe track."
Hearing the dense and dense attacks of space debris, the three people in the attitude control module did not panic. For them, this was completely expected. It would be strange that "Buzhou Mountain" has been calm during the construction process.
Among the astronaut training subjects on the ground, there is a project to deal with the attack of space debris.
"Lasers can only hit limited targets. There are too many debris in the attack. How can we take care of it? Excessive energy consumption will also affect the operation of the space port. The same goes for the electromagnetic railgun. It will destroy the dynamic balance of the space station and the existing
It seems that the buffer umbrella can be used in orbit, but its defensive power is limited, and if you are not careful, it will become a new space junk."
Si Qiang selectively denied and approved Meng Yinan's plan.
When three people work at the same position, their division of labor and thinking perspectives in the control cabin will also be different.
"Let's divide the work, Xiao Meng, you use the laser cannon to eliminate the most threatening sights, and release the buffer parachute at the right time for defense. I will control the space port to maneuver and evade as much as possible. Si Qiang, help us keep an eye on the space debris.
Flight trajectory, tell Xiao Meng and me the most threatening debris in a timely manner."
Wang Xuejun made a decision immediately, and the tasks assigned were based on each person's strengths. Meng Yinan and Si Qiang nodded and had no objection.
"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, you guys are so heartless, and I'm still out there! Do you want me to be a shield? You're so cruel!"
The communicator in the control cabin heard the complaints of Mao Jiadong, who was crawling to the SEG installation location. He heard the conversation in the control cabin.
"The extravehicular operation plan is aborted! Prepare to recover Mao Jiadong!"
Major General Fan Liming in the command module immediately decided that it had become very dangerous outside the cabin and it was unnecessary to continue the mission of loading the SEG.
Recycling is a very easy task. Just pull the safety rope and you will be back in minutes.
"The ground command agrees to cancel the installation operation and can abandon the 'skyport' if necessary."
Both the astronauts and the SEG are hard-won, and the ground command would rather adopt passive defense than put any of them in danger.
As long as people are still there, the worst thing is reconstruction. The space agency has been mentally prepared to suffer huge losses from the beginning of the "Buzhoushan" project.
If you want to step into outer space, it will never be smooth sailing. The rise of a great power will inevitably pay a tragic price.
"etc!"
Wang Xuejun suddenly opened his mouth and interjected.
"Please tell me the reason, Wang Xueping."
Fan Liming was not angry. In the Kongtian Port, there were only different divisions of work and no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Therefore, when addressing each other, military ranks were automatically erased.
"There is an embedded external maintenance cabin between the SEG installation slot and Mao Jiadong to accommodate construction robots. If he can get to the installation slot in time to activate the SEG, that would be the best. If not, he can hide there nearby and
If the SEG is temporarily activated in the cabin, there will be no problem in forming a repulsive shield that is enough to cover the cabin, which is enough to ensure his safety."
Before the launch, Wang Xuejun spent a lot of energy to know every detail of the "Buzhou Mountain" skyport. His proposal was also a gamble, but he thought carefully before and after.
, the risk is not high.
"Mao Jiadong, what's your opinion?"
"I don't have a problem, I just do as Wang Xuejun said and I will fight!"
Mao Jiadong gritted his teeth, panted heavily, and speeded up his movements. If he could catch up in time and activate the repulsion shield before the first wave of space junk hit, it would mean that the Skyport would have a great chance of surviving this incident intact.
unexpected natural disaster
All construction robots have been recycled into the maintenance cabins of each node, and they are all precious labor force.
"Attention everyone, check your spacesuits and prepare to withstand the first impact. The 30-second countdown begins."
In the attitude control module, Wang Xueping, who was wearing a heavy space suit, was fully responsible for the response and defense. He was driving the huge space port with all his concentration, trying to penetrate the space junk like a runaway wild horse with the minimum loss possible.
It's like driving a submarine, carefully avoiding the depth bombs dropped by the anti-submarine fleet on the sea. If it takes one heavy hit, the entire army will be wiped out and the enemy will die without a burial place.
Due to limited manpower, all eight astronauts in the space port were assigned to their posts, and two astronauts were stationed in the carrier module to respond to the evacuated astronauts at any time.
In the end, Mao Jiadong failed to reach the SEG installation slot in time, so he had to give up and move on, hiding in the maintenance cabin that Wang Xuejun mentioned.
Fan Liming and another astronaut are on standby in the space port, ready to engage in emergency repair work at any time.
Meng Yinan tried his best to control the defense system to continuously activate green laser beams, and cooperated with Si Qiang to specifically attack the most threatening targets.
The cylindrical buffer parachute launch pod, which looks like a missile, detaches from the space port. After flying dozens of kilometers, it quickly opens a huge round parachute made of special nanomaterials with extremely strong strength and toughness to consume as much space debris as possible.
The impact force covers the "Buzhou Mountain" Skyport behind it.
A piece of debris as big as a finger hit an antenna at a very high speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, the kinetic energy was completely converted into heat energy, and the antenna was vaporized on the spot.
This disaster is far from over. "Buzhou Mountain" is paying the price for its growth——
