Chapter 464 Insidious Strategy

A general wearing an army uniform asked, "If debris is generated on a large scale, especially after the Tiangong Space Station is destroyed, more debris will definitely be generated. Will it attack our satellites and cause our satellites to lose contact? There are no satellites." Support, our military will be very dangerous."

After the general finished speaking, he looked at Victor, waiting for his answer.

"Generals and gentlemen from other departments, you are not studying the aerospace field, so you have a little knowledge of these things." Victor sorted out his words and said, "The plot of the film is indeed exaggerated. The director was during the filming process He came to us for technical guidance, and after determining the feasibility, he magnified the crisis, so there was that scene in the movie.”

"In fact, it is a small probability event that these space debris will hit the space station. It may only happen once a year or more. And even if an emergency occurs, it may not hit something."

As some military generals, even if they know something, their knowledge is limited. As a member of the space agency, his role is these, so Victor has the obligation to convey some basic understanding to them.

After all, everyone will still need to sign the meeting report when the time comes, and such a big plan requires careful cooperation. Everyone may be asked individually. He doesn't want to offend anyone.

Some reports often say that there are so many satellites in space. It sounds like a downtown area, and I always feel that scratches will happen if I am not careful.

However, the density of satellites in space is actually not as dense as we imagine, and different satellites operate in different orbits and altitudes. The possibility of this chain reaction happening is actually very small.

Victor simply found a writing board and explained to them while drawing simple diagrams.

"...Communication satellites generally operate in geostationary orbit, which is more than 30,000 kilometers away from the earth, while the space station is only about 400 kilometers away from the earth. The gap between the two is quite large. Although the Tiangong Space Station has a higher orbit than the International Space Station The height is a little higher, but it’s limited.”

"...After the satellite is shattered, most of the debris will still continue to stay in the original orbit and rotate around the earth safely. This is why we have to hit satellites in specific orbits to attack the Tiangong Space Station, and This process also requires a lot of calculations.”

"...Many garbage will be produced during human space exploration, such as rocket stages, waste satellites, waste spaceships, waste space stations, etc., which are all space waste. But in the vast space, if you want to rely on natural probability to hit the aircraft, then The probability is very small."

"...unless it's man-made."

"...and we know the plan in advance, so after we calculate the accurate impact orbit, we can change the orbits of satellites in orbits near us in advance to keep them away from the vicinity of the orbit, so that safety can be guaranteed."

If it is destroyed casually, then there will be no need to play with the human space industry.

In the history of human spaceflight, there has only been one incident of a satellite colliding with a satellite. However, the threat of space debris to man-made spacecraft is gradually becoming apparent, but their impact is not on the present, but on the future.

After all, if space debris is not dealt with, it will accumulate more and more, and you may be like the sweeping army in the movie one day.

"That means other countries' satellites near this orbit may be hit?" another general asked with interest.

"Yes, if the debris is spread large enough, it is very possible. However, this must be calculated carefully, and these satellites must also be added to the final calculation data, because if they are affected by the wave, then there will be The fragments are also a threat," Victor explained.

After hearing Victor's affirmation, a gloomy-looking general said, "Then we can spread the debris as much as possible and destroy as many other countries' satellites as possible. We can even throw in some of our abandoned satellites and destroy them. I think this is a very good opportunity to eliminate our suspicions and hit as many opponents as possible."

His words resonated with many generals.

Although the United States is still the leader in the world, with the continuous development of subsequent countries, their rights have been increasingly restricted, and in this era, it is impossible to fight a big war.

To be honest, I was used to being the number one, but now I was restricted by the younger brother behind me. You can imagine how unhappy I felt.

"No, this is absolutely not possible."

Victor knew what they were thinking, so he seriously refused because the consequences would be too serious.

"It's too dangerous. The situation in the universe is much more complicated than we imagined, and our calculations and simulation results cannot be 100% correct, so we must try to reduce the scope of influence and minimize the probability of accidents. "

"Unilateral sniping at the Tiangong Space Station is the limit of what we can do. If we expand the scope of the debris attack, it will be too easy to get out of control. Moreover, the International Space Station is not far from the orbit of the Tiangong Space Station. It is only a few dozen kilometers away. Be careful and the scene from the movie will really appear.”

"At that time, the Earth's orbit will be filled with spacecraft debris and space junk. No one will be able to fly out of the Earth again, and all we can do is stay on the Earth and wait to die!"

The more Victor spoke, the more severe he became, as if he had gone back to when he was a teacher and gave lectures to students. He talked about the rigor of technology. Once danger occurs, the chain effect will be terrible.

At that time, I just magnified the probability of danger and told them to remember it.

I just didn't expect that this group of soldiers would actually plan to do this today.

Noticing the change in Victor's mood, Lieutenant General Carter, who was presiding over the meeting, coughed and said, "Ahem, Deputy Director Victor is right. We all know the dangerous situation here. Space is too far away from us. , it is really difficult to control things in time when something happens, so we will solve the problem of Tiangong Space Station first, and we will discuss other combat plans later."

Victor also noticed it. He put down the signature pen in his hand with some embarrassment and returned to his seat and said, "Now that the task has been confirmed, I will go down immediately to arrange the simulation calculation task, but we need the assistance of the National Supercomputer Center because The computational complexity of this task will be enormous."

"No problem, I will call them after the meeting to ask them to cooperate with you." Carter said, "Do you have any questions?"

"We don't have any more here," Victor replied.

Carter looked at the others again, and the generals all said there was no problem, but Buletta from the Tactical and Technical Department asked a question.

"I think our plan also requires the assistance of Musk Aerospace. When we start the mission, we need his manned spacecraft to conduct an unloaded test flight, and then dock with the International Space Station for stay experiments."

Kata asked, "What's the reason?"

Bretta paused and said, "The first is to further express that we are performing other tasks and create an "alibi." The second is to take precautions. In case things develop beyond our control, we need to respond as soon as possible. Evacuate the personnel stationed on the International Space Station and allow them to return to Earth safely. After all, the lives of astronauts are still very precious."

"Where are the astronauts and space workers at the Tiangong Space Station?" Victor asked hesitantly.

Bretta glanced at him and said, "Haha, they are not citizens of our country, they have not paid taxes for us, they have not contributed to us, and they are not even our allies."

"I think we don't need to be responsible for their safety. What they are looking for is their motherland, which is China."

"If you want to blame it, just blame them for being born in the wrong country."
