"Mr. Maxwell, this is the satellite rocket launch plan sent by Dongdao."
Maxwell took it and looked through it.
This is an international practice. Generally, all countries will be notified in advance when testing a full-range launch vehicle. After all, the launch vehicle and the long-range kicker are two sides of one body.
If you don't notify in advance, you will be in big trouble in minutes. Of course, you don't need to notify when you are traveling in your own country. Once you cross the border, you must notify.
Otherwise, who knows what you are launching?
Dongdao has five launch plans this time. Maxwell frowned when he looked at the schedule of Dongdao satellite launch vehicles.
[April 12, Dongdao Huoshao Island - Tropic of Cancer 146.3~146.4 degrees east longitude.]
[April 13, Dongdao Huoshao Island - 7.2~7.3 degrees north latitude and 139.4~139.5 degrees east longitude.]
[April 14, Antarctic Circle 135 degrees west longitude - 47.2-47.3 degrees south latitude 135 degrees west longitude.]
[April 15, Dongdao Huoshao Island - 60 degrees south latitude and 105 degrees west longitude - 30 degrees south latitude and 120 degrees west longitude.]
[April 16, Dongdao Huoshao Island - 45 degrees south latitude and 75 degrees east longitude - 45 degrees south latitude and 3 degrees east longitude - 15 degrees west longitude of the Tropic of Capricorn.]
"Archimedes, take a look at the status of this report." Maxwell handed the document to Dr. Archimedes.
Dr. Archimedes took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise his glasses:
"The first three test launch distances were around 2,300 to 2,400 kilometers, and the last two distances actually reached 18,000 kilometers. This thing is definitely not as simple as a launch vehicle."
"We see the same thing, and the first and second landing points, don't you think it's very close to Guam?"
Dr. Archimedes looked at the document and compared it with the map. He immediately discovered that the first test launch point was about 1,160 kilometers away from Guam, while the second test was even closer, with a distance of only about 860 kilometers.
"What do they want to do?"
"They are threatening us." Maxwell spread his hands and said.
"Oh wow! This world is so crazy. A private company can actually launch such a thing?" Dr. Archimedes shook his head and exclaimed.
"Who knows whether they are a company or a country." Maxwell sneered.
"Then do you want to inform the other side of this matter?"
"Of course, this is necessary."
Regarding the launch plan of the Galaxy Consortium, all countries that received the notice felt extremely stressed and looked like they had seen a ghost.
After all, this satellite launch vehicle with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers is the standard configuration of the big hooligans, not to mention the distance of 18,000 kilometers, which can cover the whole world almost without blind spots.
Many countries near the landing point took action upon hearing the news and sent ships to the waters near the landing point to wait and see.
Among them, the three countries of MiLi, Sun, Land and Australia are the most active.
Because general rocket test launches require the data capsule to be recovered at the landing point, this thing is equivalent to the black box of the aircraft and records a lot of data about the launch vehicle.
Therefore, when conducting test launches on the high seas, one must be careful to guard against the possibility of leaks. Since it is the high seas, it is everyone’s sea, and others can also be here.
This is the plan of Mi Li's Sunland Land, which is to see if there is a chance to pick up the data capsule. If it can be picked up, it will disgust the Galaxy Consortium and Dongtang.
April 12th.
Dongdao Huoshao Island Satellite Rocket Launch Base.
Li Jie, the chief engineer of the Xiongfeng series, and more than a dozen observers from Huang Junjie's bionic robot are all in the Huoshao Island base.
Inside the launch silo of the base, a launch vehicle is ready.
This so-called satellite launch vehicle is the launch vehicle code-named "Xiongfeng 4" internally by Tianhan Security Company.
As for whether it is carrying something, whether it is a satellite or something else, that is unknown.
"Boss, the launch procedure has been completed and can be launched at any time." Li Jie came over to report.
Huang Junjie looked at the time. It was now 9:37 in the morning. He nodded to Li Jie aside:
"At ten o'clock in the morning, launch."
"OK."
The positioning system used by this Xiongfeng 4 launch vehicle is the Beidou system. Since it is an untested first-generation product, the reliability of this thing will depend on the test launch.
"Mr. Huang, is the payload this time empty or real?" Fang Dongliang suddenly asked.
"Of course it's true."
"What's the effect?"
"Equivalent to about 200 times that of a battle axe."
"200 times!" Fang Dongliang was also frightened by this number, which was a bit scary.
It's ten o'clock in the morning.
The manhole cover of the launch silo popped open instantly, and a Xiongfeng 4 carrier rocket soared into the sky with a light blue tail flame.
At the same time, the forces paying close attention to this so-called satellite launch vehicle have already pointed their satellite radar at the vicinity of Huoshao Island.
As soon as Xiongfeng 4 came out of the launch silo, various forces discovered it.
NASA headquarters.
Didi
[UFO found, location]
Maxwell looked at the situation on the satellite surveillance system:
"What's the speed?"
"2941 seconds per second." the monitor replied immediately.
"Mach 8.6! Keep tracking."
"ok."
the other side.
In the waters near the Tropic of Cancer at 146.3 to 146.4 degrees east longitude, the fleets of the Milijia and the Kingdom of the Sun were sailing about dozens of kilometers away from the landing point.
But what puzzled them was that there was no Galaxy Consortium ship near the landing point.
For Xiongfeng 4, it only takes about 13 minutes to deliver the express over a distance of about 2,400 kilometers.
Soon the time is almost up.
boom!
The Texas was less than twenty-seven kilometers away when it suddenly felt a loud noise.
Captain Hagens, who was at the bow of the ship, looked into the distance with a telescope. After a flash of light, a shock wave followed.
Captain Hagens was knocked to the ground by the shock wave: "Oh, buy it! Fake Squid!"
Ignoring his aching arms, he rolled and crawled into the cockpit and shouted to everyone:
"Go forward at full speed immediately, fast!"
"Head, we"
"I said immediately, do you want to die? Immediately." Captain Hagens roared hysterically.
"OK."
"immediately."
The Texas quickly moved forward at full speed.
The other three ships that came with the Texas also quickly followed.
As soon as their ship accelerated, a huge wave rushed over them. Only then did they realize Captain Hagens's wise move. If they had gone ahead at full speed just now, the consequences would have been disastrous.
The four ships drove their engines desperately, maximizing their horsepower. By the time the huge waves approached their ships, their power had weakened greatly, and the height of the waves was less than 20 meters.
As for why Captain Hagens knew that a huge wave was coming, he chose to rush towards it. Anyone who has experienced sailing knows that if he knows that a huge wave or tsunami is coming, the best choice for the ship is to head on.
Ships cannot outrun huge waves or tsunamis by running. The survival rate is the greatest if they can only go head-on.
In addition to the USS Texas, these ships are all military ships, and their structure and strength are higher than those of civilian ships.
Soon the Texas crashed into the huge waves and successfully survived the crisis.
However, Captain Hagens was not too happy: "Testing Department, report the test results."
"The power is estimated to be 100 to 120 tons, the core radius is 8 to 9 kilometers, and the area is about 300 square kilometers, affecting"
"No nuclear radiation neutron rays detected"
"What? This is impossible!" Captain Hagens stood up in disbelief.
