The group of people talked about the SS-defense system's defense against asteroids and the development of the solar system in the near future.
It is said that humans will build space cities in the future, need to transform other planets, etc.
But asteroids are a threat to these, and SS-defense systems should be deployed throughout the solar system.
Some people also joked that the SS-defense system can not only deal with asteroids, but also aliens.
…
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Zhe and his group of more than 20 people arrived at the base's control center.
Everyone sat in the temporary visiting area and looked at the big screen in the control center.
The picture on the big screen has switched to the launch site of the Satellite Launch Center.
The main screen is detected by the ss-defense system. The sub-screen displayed on the left side of the main screen is synchronized with the screen displayed on the large screen of the command and control center of the satellite launch center.
Displayed on the right side of the main screen is the relevant data of this rocket launch.
Zhang Gaoming stood nearby and explained to everyone while looking at the big screen: "The launch mission of this rocket is to send the thirty-six detectors deployed in space by the Xuanwu Project to the designated orbit. The rocket used for the mission launch is... …”
When Zhang Gaoming introduced the mission rocket, pictures and various parameters of the mission rocket appeared on the main screen of the big screen.
After introducing the rocket, the main screen changed from a huge rocket to a strange-looking device.
"Look, everyone, this is the detector we launched this time." Zhang Gaoming explained, "To be honest, this launch was a bit hasty. In order to cope with the two asteroids that are about to collide, we can only shorten the life of the detector. detector……"
The detector is not large in size and weighs more than 700 kilograms. It has a complete energy system, power system and detection system, etc.
Due to the rocket load and tight time, the life of the detector is greatly limited.
The main reasons are power system problems and energy supply problems.
The power of the detector is provided by a plasma engine, which requires a working fluid.
After the working fluid carried by the detector is used up, the detector loses power.
This is the motivation aspect.
According to common sense, spacecraft such as satellites and detectors can still fly in orbit for a long time even if they lose power. As long as other systems are good, they can continue to work.
But the detector launched this time has great limitations in terms of energy.
The detection capability of the ss-defense system is strong, but its detectors also consume abnormal energy.
The detector launched this time carries a solar power generation device, but the small amount of electricity generated cannot support the normal operation of the detector.
For this purpose, the detectors carry three sets of nuclear batteries.
Under normal circumstances, these three sets of nuclear batteries can support half a year.
After Zhang Gaoming introduced the detector launched this time, the main screen changed again.
Zhang Gaoming pointed to the big screen and said: "What you see is the second-generation detector. The design has been completed and is being manufactured. This detector..."
While looking at the big screen, I listened to Zhang Gaoming’s explanation.
The total mass of this second-generation detector reaches 25 tons. It has the functions of the first-generation detector and the second-generation detector.
And unlike the first-generation detector, the electricity generated by the power generation device of the second-generation detector can not only support the use of the entire detector, but also has a surplus.
The most critical thing is that the second-generation detector is equipped with a set of first-level death rays, which are modified first-level death rays.
In this way, the second-generation detector has the ability to detect and intercept, which is quite a miniature SS-defense system subsystem.
After introducing the second-generation detector, Zhang Gaoming sighed: "The second-generation detector is powerful enough, but the problem is the power problem. The heavy weight of the detector is still taken up by the working fluid. I hope that there will be a heavy-duty detector as soon as possible." Engines without working fluids such as photon aerospace engines.”
With that said, Zhang Gaoming looked at Su Zhe.
Everyone looked at Su Zhe expectantly like Zhang Gaoming.
Su Zhe said with a smile: "I will work hard! Develop a heavy photon aerospace engine as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, everyone applauded.
…
Satellite launch center command and control center.
Bi Yuankui, Zong Lanyue, Liu Fen, Wang Dong, Ma Ping and others sat in the temporary visiting area and looked at the large screen of the command and control center.
At this time, the launch mission is in the final preparation stage.
Zong Lanyue and the other five were very excited and sat together talking quietly.
"I have always wanted to see the whole process of rocket launch, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The key is to sit in the command and control center and watch." Ma Ping said excitedly.
"Yes! Me too!" Bi Yuankui nodded quickly, "In the past, I only wanted to see it on site, but then I knew I could watch it in the command and control center."
"Well, we are all benefiting from our research center. If we were not the boss's assistants, we would have such an opportunity!" Zong Lanyue said with a smile.
"It's true." Wang Dong looked around, "Look around us. The only ones who can come to the command center to visit the launch are ordinary people, and we are the only ones."
"Indeed!" Liu Fen thought for a while and said, "The Penglai space city we planned will be launched soon."
"It's going to be faster. I'm worried that our imagination can't keep up with the development of science and technology." Bi Yuankui said.
"Yes!" Liu Fen nodded, "I believe that after the Tamu Gobi space portal plan is completed, our Penglai space city can be built."
"Yes!" Zong Lanyue nodded, "But it's a pity that we can only stay here. It would be great if we could follow the boss, then we can see more interesting things."
Liu Fen carefully looked around and said to Zong Lanyue seriously: "It's better for us to know some things ourselves. We can't talk nonsense on such occasions."
"Liu Fen is right! Some things really shouldn't be said carelessly." Bi Yuankui looked around.
The five of them knew the whereabouts of Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming, as well as the SS-defense system and the Xuanwu plan.
They know it, but they can't talk nonsense.
A few people were chatting, and a staff member announced that everything was ready.
At this point, it's time for the rocket to launch.
On the big screen, the rocket is erected at the launch site.
At this time, the command and control center was quiet.
Suddenly, the staff shouted a countdown.
10, 9, 8…
After the staff shouted "fire", a blue flame burst out from the bottom of the rocket.
The rocket rose slowly in the thick white fog.
Slowly, the speed of the rocket is getting faster and faster.
After a while, only a small bright spot could be seen on the ground.
…
SS-defense system subsystem base ten kilometers away from the satellite launch center.
In the base control center 100 meters underground, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and a group of more than 20 people looked at the big screen.
The sub-screen on the left side of the large screen is synchronized with the screen displayed on the large screen of the command and control center of the satellite launch center.
The screen sometimes displays small bright spots shot on the ground, sometimes displays engine flames shot by the rocket's own camera, and sometimes displays simulated animations.
In any case, the overall flight picture of the rocket cannot be seen.
But the main screen in the middle is different.
The main screen shows the whole picture of the rocket's flight. Whether it is the rocket body or the flames and exhaust gas emitted by the rocket, you can clearly see it in the screen.
And on the right side of the main screen, all rocket-related parameters are displayed.
Such as height, coordinates, speed, size, etc.
As time goes by, the relevant parameters change in real time.
At this time, Su Zhe and the others mainly looked at the main screen. After all, the main screen was more intuitive.
Soon, the rocket's four boosters separated.
At this time, you can see that in the left split screen, you can see four boosters moving away quickly, but these four boosters quickly disappeared from the screen.
Only the first-stage rocket engine and the flames ejected from the engine are left in the picture.
In the main picture, the process of separation of the four boosters is clearly visible. After the separation of the four boosters, they are getting farther and farther away from the main part of the rocket.
When only the main body of the rocket is left on the main screen, four sub-screens are added to the right side of the main screen. Each screen contains a booster. These boosters are rapidly lowering their altitude.
At the same time, there are relevant parameters next to the four sub-screens.
Zhang Gaoming said with a smile: "Look carefully, after the four boosters separated, their descent trajectory and landing point have been revealed. Of course, there are errors, but they will be corrected in real time."
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Careful people can compare the main screen and the sub-screen on the left and find that the two screens are synchronized.
If the picture on the left is only a partial picture, the main picture is a God's perspective.
After a while, the first-stage rocket engine shut down, followed by the separation of the first-stage rocket and the ignition of the second-stage rocket.
The split screen on the left is a combination of real-time images and animations showing the separation of the first and second stages of the rocket.
But the main picture is different. One shot to the end, the whole process is like someone taking a camera not far from the rocket. What's even more exaggerated is that all the details are perfectly presented.
Only the secondary rocket is left in the left split screen, as is the main screen, but another split screen pops up on the right side of the main screen.
The protagonist of the split screen is the newly separated first-stage rocket. Like the four boosters, the first-stage rocket is falling rapidly.
From the relevant parameters, it can be found that the first-stage rocket is falling in a parabolic shape, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
At this time, fire appeared on the side of the four boosters facing the ground, and they were falling faster and faster.
Its fall trajectory and landing point are constantly being revised, but they are basically consistent with the initial predictions, and there is not much error.
In the left screen and the main screen, the rocket begins to throw away its fairing simultaneously.
Soon, the two fairings detached from the rocket, revealing the neatly arranged detectors in the rocket.
The rocket continues flying.
According to the plan, the first target of the rocket is an orbit with an altitude of one thousand kilometers.
After entering orbit, the rocket will release six detectors in sequence.
After releasing the detector, the rocket will continue to climb and fly to an orbit with an altitude of 2,000 kilometers.
After entering orbit, the rocket will release the remaining thirty detectors.
While the rocket climbed high, the four boosters and the first-stage rocket landed one after another. According to the feedback from the satellite launch center, its landing point was exactly as predicted by the SS-defense system.
As time passed by, warm applause erupted from the base control center.
The rocket successfully entered orbit.
At this time, the rocket's main engine has been shut down, and the auxiliary engine is adjusting the rocket's attitude.
After a while, the rocket began to release the detector.
After the first detector was successfully released, warm applause rang out again.
The rocket has to reposition itself after releasing a probe.
In this way, six detectors were released and adjusted successfully.
After the rocket successfully released six detectors, the rocket's main engine was re-ignited, and the rocket left the orbit with an altitude of 1,000 kilometers and flew towards an orbit with an altitude of 2,000 kilometers.
At this time, the base control center burst into applause.
"Okay! Now the six detectors have been successfully released, and we will be able to take over these six detectors soon." Zhang Gaoming said excitedly, "Okay! Here we come."
As soon as Zhang Gaoming finished speaking, seven sub-screens popped up on the left side of the main screen.
The six sub-pictures correspond to the six detectors, and the remaining sub-picture shows a 3D earth with six moving red dots on the periphery of the earth.
Each red dot represents a detector.
"Of these six detectors, three remain in orbit at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers. The three detectors will continue to descend into orbit. Finally, these three detectors will arrive in orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers." Zhang Brilliant explanation.
The large screen displays a split screen of six detectors, and the six detectors are deployed simultaneously.
Its solar power generation devices were all deployed in a short time.
Soon, in the split screen showing the 3D Earth, the six red dots turned into green dots.
"Well, let me explain. The red dot means the connection is successful, and the green dot means the detector has entered working status." Zhang Gaoming said with a smile.
At this time, the motion trajectories of five of the six detectors changed.
Initially, six detectors were in the same orbit.
Next, two of the detectors will maintain the same orbital altitude, but in different orbits.
Finally, the three detectors will be evenly distributed on an approximate sphere with a radius of more than 7,000 kilometers.
The other three detectors will continue to lower their orbits, and will eventually be evenly distributed on an approximate sphere with a radius of more than 6,500 kilometers.
Zhang Gaoming looked at the five detectors in orbit and said with a smile: "The deployment of these detectors will take some time, but it won't be too slow. When these detectors are deployed, we will be able to detect the Earth-centered , a space with a radius of 300,000 kilometers.”
Everyone applauded and looked at the big screen.
The six successfully released detectors are already working, while the remaining thirty detectors are still on the rocket, waiting for the rocket to reach an orbit with an altitude of two thousand kilometers.
As time passed by, everyone stared at the main screen on the big screen.
In the main picture, the rocket engine is still spraying flames, and its height is getting higher and higher.
1500 kilometers, 1600 kilometers, 1700 kilometers...
