Li Xuan stared at the surveillance screen, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "There are still six minutes until the debris hits our space station."
"Repeat, there are still six minutes until the debris hits our space station."
Qin Xuexue's palms were so nervous that they were sweating, watching the time approaching minute by minute.
"There are still three minutes until the debris hits our space station."
"repeat……"
Drop! Qin Xuexue immediately pressed the start switch of the shield generator.
In an instant, the condensed matter shield generators in the five directions above, down, front, left and right of the New Kaohsiung Space Station were activated, and the five condensed matter shields instantly merged together to wrap up the New Kaohsiung Space Station, leaving only the right side intact.
In order to ensure the safety of the entire space station, the lighting systems in each cabin are automatically turned off. Now the entire space station is maintained in a low-consumption state, supplying all energy to the shield generator.
At 15:24, countless satellite debris collided with the New Kaohsiung Space Station. These satellite debris of different sizes are flying towards the New Kaohsiung Space Station at a speed of 7.2 to 7.8 kilometers per second, because the speed of the New Kaohsiung Space Station itself is 7.6 kilometers per second.
, although there is a slight angle between the two sides, the relative degree is still very scary.
Soon the first piece of satellite debris came into close contact with the shield generator. The extreme relative degree caused the satellite debris to instantly explode with terrifying kinetic energy.
However, in the face of such an insurmountable thing as the condensed matter shield, the satellite debris could only hit the stone with eggs. In an instant, countless satellite debris hit the condensed matter shield one after another.
The condensed matter shield steadily bounced or slid them away, or smashed them into pieces. After the remains of one of the solar panels were smashed into more than a dozen pieces, the fragments were sputtered in all directions again.
Zhang Yunfeng grabbed the handle of the bulkhead and felt waves of slight vibrations. Since the vacuum could not conduct sound, they could only see the impact outside through these slight vibrations and the monitoring screen.
"Li Xuan continues to monitor closely."
"receive."
"Learn to continue to maintain the shield."
"receive."
Zhang Yunfeng quickly operated the space station's motivation system. After all, part of the kinetic energy of these debris still acted on the space station. In order to prevent the space station from deviating from its orbit, he had to correct its orbit in time.
Seeing them busy, Huang Junjie did not give random orders here, because he was not familiar with the operation of the space station. It is best to be self-aware as a person to avoid harming others and yourself.
Use the buttons on the spacesuit to buckle the stand-in robot on the bulkhead, and then he will go offline.
In the holographic conference room of the Universe Opening Committee, Huang Junjie's projection appeared in it.
"Chairman."
"Mr. Huang."
"Huang Sang." Everyone greeted quickly.
Huang Haojie waved his hand and said: "I will waive the formality and continue the meeting."
Wang Tu quickly continued: "Now our space station and satellites don't have big problems. Even if some of the satellites in low-Earth orbit are lost, we can quickly replace them. The only trouble is the International Space Station."
"Wang is right. If the International Space Station is destroyed, the debris will form a barrier in low-Earth orbit, greatly increasing the risk of us entering space." Zhao Hongxing also looked grim.
"This must be the work of the Mi Li family. Seeing that they can't compete with us, they resorted to such a trick." Wang Guanghai said angrily.
"The plan for today is not to worry about whether it is a conspiracy, but how to solve the problem of the debris barrier layer." Zhao Hongxing continued.
Huang Junjie suddenly said: "Don't worry, at worst, we can install a shield generator on the projection spacecraft and use brute force to directly rush through the debris barrier."
"This method can be considered. I hope the International Space Station will not be destroyed!" Wang Tu said helplessly.
After all, installing a shield generator costs money and consumes some additional energy.
…
the other side.
NASA, Houston Space Center.
Maxwell and others stared at the surveillance footage in stunned silence. The surveillance personnel who couldn't believe their eyes replayed the impact footage again, but the result was still the same.
"What? How did they do it?" Dr. Archimedes bent down and looked at the surveillance screen carefully.
I saw countless fragments, seemingly blocked by an arc not far to the left of the new Kaohsiung Space Station.
Dr. Archimedes, who finally saw it clearly, kept mumbling: "It's incredible, it turns out to be shield technology."
Maxwell also saw that the new Kaohsiung Space Station used shield technology. Although he did not know the principle, the satellite debris had already helped them test it once.
If it hadn't been for this space accident, they wouldn't have known that the Dongtang people were hiding such black technology.
At the same time, he also had some vague speculations about the truth of this space accident. If the Dongtang people did not have shield technology, maybe their strategy would have succeeded.
It's a pity that the opponent's skills are too good. Now he has lost his wife and lost his troops. Not only has he failed to trick the Eastern Tang Dynasty, he may be trying to kill his own space station.
Maxwell's expression was extremely ugly. As an astronaut, he was very disgusted with the insidious and vicious politics of such great powers. You must know that there are still six of their astronauts on the International Space Station.
Regardless of whether their plan succeeds or not, these astronauts are destined to be a group of outcasts, and the void will be their graveyard.
Maxwell's mood at this moment was helplessness, anger, self-blame, and pain. This mixed feeling was unpleasant.
…
New Kaohsiung Space Station.
"Report, the debris swarm has moved away from our space station." Li Xuan shouted loudly.
"Phew! No danger." Zhang Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not relax his vigilance and ordered again:
"Li Xuan continues to monitor the fragments closely."
"receive."
"Learn to temporarily turn off the shield system."
"receive."
Drop! The five condensed matter shields of the New Kaohsiung Space Station were instantly closed.
Zhang Yunfeng immediately started the backup motor system and quickly charged the space station. They must always ensure that the energy reserve of the space station is within a safe range.
After the red alert status was temporarily lifted, Zhang Yunfeng quickly asked Liao Qingsong and Fang Haibo to come to the main control cabin to help.
Huang Junjie also finished the meeting and returned to the space station's stand-in robot. After a few words of encouragement to Zhang Yunfeng and others, he left for cabin 43.
Under this situation, he was not in the mood to continue conducting experiments on the space station.
After floating to cabin No. 43, Huang Junjie put the stand-in robot back into the storage cabinet, then went offline and returned to Shanmei, but he knew that this matter was not over yet.
At 16:47, the New Bazhong Space Station was also attacked by satellite debris. Fortunately, they installed shield protection, otherwise this time it would have been really disasterous.
During this period, two more artificial satellites were hit by debris, one of which was a Mao Xiong military satellite, and the other was a weather satellite of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Both of these satellites are large satellites, and more debris is sputtered in all directions in low-Earth orbit.
Faced with this terrible chain reaction, many countries that have satellites in low-Earth orbit have taken action, and from time to time satellites maneuver their orbits to avoid debris.
However, Space Exploration Company is really in big trouble this time. Xizhou Alliance was the first to make things difficult, accusing Space Exploration Company of indiscriminately launching satellites and taking full responsibility for this space accident.
Elon Musk also quickly came out to play the bitter card and shifted the responsibility to space junk or asteroids, saying that it was the asteroid or space junk that hit Starlink 66 that caused Starlink 66 to go out of control.
