Soon, the altitude of the rocket reached two thousand kilometers, and the attitude of the rocket changed.
Some distance into the flight, the rocket's engine stopped and its auxiliary engine started.
After a while, applause sounded from the base control center.
The rocket's second orbital launch was successful.
Then, the rocket began to release the probe.
As before, every time the rocket releases a detector, the rocket will adjust its attitude.
After repeated releases and adjustments like this, all thirty detectors were successfully released.
At this time, applause rang out again in the base control center.
In the main picture, after the rocket releases the last detector, the rocket's main engine ignites again.
With the cooperation of the main engine and auxiliary engine, the rocket left the orbit at an altitude of 2,000 kilometers.
After making a big U-turn, the main engine increased its power. Coupled with the gravity of the earth, the rocket quickly flew towards the surface, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
On the right side of the main screen, thirty sub-screens have been added again, each of which displays a detector.
After these detectors detach from the rocket, the first thing they work on is the power system. After the detector's orbit is stabilized, the detector begins to unfold and all the detector's systems begin to work.
Like the images displayed by the previous six detectors, the real-time parameters of their detectors are displayed next to these images.
On the left side of the main screen, the sub-screen synchronized with the command and control center of the satellite launch center ended after the last probe was successfully launched.
What is now displayed are two lines of large characters warmly welcoming the successful launch.
In the 3D earth screen displayed on the left side of the screen, thirty-six green dots representing the detectors have been lit, and these dots are moving rapidly.
"Okay! Now the launch mission of the Satellite Launch Center is a complete success." Zhang Gaoming said and applauded.
For a moment, everyone in the base control center applauded.
At this time, the flying attitude of the rocket in the main screen was extremely weird. Sometimes it was accelerating head-first, sometimes it was like it was drifting, and sometimes it was flying sideways.
Seeing this, many people became confused.
Seeing this, Zhang Gaoming smiled and said, "This is a test!"
With this sentence, everyone understood what was going on.
"We can enjoy the testing and recovery of the second-stage rocket." Zhang Gaoming said with a smile.
In the main picture, although the flight posture of the second-stage rocket is weird, its height is rapidly decreasing.
Soon, the second-stage rocket entered the atmosphere.
Because the speed of the second-stage rocket was too fast, the second-stage rocket turned into a large fireball.
At this time, the speed of the second-stage rocket was rapidly declining, and finally reached a balance.
When the second-stage rocket was at an altitude of ten kilometers, the second-stage rocket exploded directly.
The sudden explosion of the second-stage rocket startled everyone in the control center.
Just when everyone was about to scream, a small semi-elliptical cabin rushed out from the wreckage.
The cabin quickly descended after breaking away from the wreckage.
At an altitude of five kilometers, the capsule deployed its parachute.
The parachute pulled the cabin down slowly, and finally landed accurately fifty kilometers away from the satellite launch center.
Less than three minutes after the capsule landed, staff drove to the scene in a car.
Six people got out of the three cars. The six people worked together to open the cabin and carefully lifted one person out of the cabin.
It can be clearly seen in the picture that this is a dummy, and this dummy is missing an arm.
"How is it? It's clear enough!" Zhang Gaoming said excitedly, "The ability to see so clearly is entirely due to the detectors just launched. Without these detectors, the SS-defense system cannot detect ultra-low altitudes. It’s even less likely on the ground.”
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Our detector was successful, but the final test of the second-stage rocket was not successful! The dummy's arms are missing. It is estimated that the dummy will not survive." Zhang Gaoming said with a smile.
Hearing what Zhang Gaoming said, everyone looked confused.
Seeing this, Zhang Gaoming explained with a smile: "That's right, this time the test was not only the maneuverability of the second-stage rocket, but also the emergency escape capsule. Obviously, the latter test failed, but a lot of data was collected. "
Everyone nodded again.
When Zhang Gaoming was talking, the picture synchronized with the satellite launch center disappeared, replaced by a large 3D earth and the surrounding space on the screen.
At this time, more and more small dots of different colors appeared in a specific direction in the space around the Earth.
Some dots are single-color, some are two-color, and some are three-color.
The different colors of the dots represent different meanings.
"Well, let me explain, these small dots represent space objects such as satellites, probes, asteroids, etc." Zhang Gaoming explained.
"Understood!" someone shouted.
"What you are seeing now is the detection result of the SS-defense system deployed on the ground. Next, we will add the content detected by the thirty-six detectors." Zhang Gaoming said excitedly.
In an instant, many small dots of different colors appeared around the earth, and these small dots are still increasing.
"By the way! I forgot to mention that among the thirty detectors in orbit at an altitude of two thousand kilometers, three detectors stay at this altitude, and the others will go to higher orbits. These..." Zhang Gao Ming explained a little embarrassedly.
After talking for a long time, he missed such an important thing.
I only remembered it after looking at the parameters of the detector in the separate images.
These detectors are arranged in groups of three, and each group will be on a sphere of the same radius.
Thirty-six detectors are divided into twelve groups and deployed on twelve spherical surfaces with different radii.
Originally, it could only detect the space in a specific direction, and the area of the ground-deployed SS-defense system extending 10,000 kilometers into space.
After thirty-six detectors are deployed, the SS-defense system can detect space with a radius of 300,000 kilometers centered on the earth.
Listening to Zhang Gaoming's explanation, many people suddenly realized.
But technical consultants like Su Zhe and Ning Changsheng knew it from the beginning.
"The next step is to wait slowly until these detectors are deployed on the set orbits. Now I will show you the satellites of various countries in space and the detected space junk, etc." Zhang Gaoming said.
In the main screen, domestic and foreign satellites appear one after another, followed by space junk of different sizes and asteroids of different sizes...
Time passed by and it was time for dinner.
Su Zhe and his party hurriedly had dinner and hurried to the base control center.
Everyone continues to look at those satellites, space junk and so on.
When the time came to ten o'clock in the evening, four of the twelve sets of detectors had been deployed.
As a result, the detection radius of the SS-defense system has been expanded to 40,000 kilometers.
At this time, what is shown on the main screen is the space solar power station in the Chasing Light Project.
Some details of the space solar power station in the picture are clearly visible, unlike before.
Zhang Gaoming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It's getting late. Finally, I'll show you the beauty of the earth detected by the SS-defense system."
As Zhang Gaoming finished speaking, three polar bears, one large, two small, and three appeared on the main screen.
Three polar bears wander in the ice and snow of the Arctic...
When the camera turned, the picture showed a male lion fighting with a group of spotted hyenas. When the male lion rose and fell, a spotted hyena died.
Next, a bald eagle is shown standing on a steep rock wall.
Suddenly, the bald eagle spreads its wings and takes flight.
But the good times didn't last long, a warhead flew by, and the bald eagle quickly fell to the ground.
The scene changed again, and a kangaroo jumped freely and jumped onto the road.
A car speeds past and the kangaroo lies in a pool of blood.
The screen rotates, with countless ice floes floating on the water, and there are many penguins on the ice floes.
The penguins rely on each other...
Finally, a forest appears on the screen.
The picture zoomed in, showing a young giant panda lying motionless on the branch of a big tree.
…
At 10:30 in the evening, Su Zhe and his party happily left the control center.
Everyone took the elevator to the ground and took the tour bus to the satellite launch center.
Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing.
At this moment, everyone has a deep understanding of the SS-defense system.
As far as we know now, there is no need to question the detection capability of the SS-defense system, and there is no need to question its interception power.
The only question now is the ability to combine the two.
Although the current SS-Defense System is highly confidential, everyone hopes that the true strength of the SS-Defense System can be revealed to the world as soon as possible and let the world know how powerful the SS-Defense System is.
As soon as Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming returned to their residence at the Satellite Launch Center, their assistants surrounded them.
The five assistants all inquired about the Xuanwu Project and the SS-Defense System.
Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.
Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said: "You are so curious. We will tell you everything we can tell you. Asking you what we can't tell you is in vain."
After hearing what Fan Xiaoming said, the five assistants were so disappointed that they wanted to leave.
Fan Xiaoming coughed lightly and said: "You also know something about the ss-defense system. Just think higher. Let's put it this way! There is no upper limit to your future. No outsider in the world can take advantage of our labor. It worked.”
Suddenly, the five assistants were stunned.
Then, the five people laughed excitedly again.
Smiling and laughing, the five assistants left.
…
The next morning, Su Zhe and his party visited the recovered elliptical capsule and the dummy that had lost its arm.
After finishing lunch, Su Zhe and his group of more than 30 people got on the bus.
These people are all teachers and students of Lingzhou University of Technology.
The group of people took a bus to the Tamu Desert, more than 100 kilometers away.
They will meet more than 500 other teachers and students from Lingzhou University of Technology in a small town on the edge of Tamu Desert for a three-day visit to Tamu Desert.
On the bus, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, Wang Xiuqi and others were sitting together.
A few people started talking about the launch of Thirty-Six Stars in One Arrow yesterday.
Said that the launch was very successful.
Then several people talked about the final test, saying that the design of the escape cabin was not perfect and so on.
When talking about this, Principal Xu Zhengping was the most excited.
You must know that Xu Zhengping is an expert in aerospace.
Besides, Xu Zhengping is one of the leaders in manned lunar exploration and building a base on the moon.
As they talked, several people talked about the collision of two asteroids.
Xu Zhengping and Wang Xiuqi cooperated very well, and they kept talking to each other.
And the two of them looked worried.
It is said that the collision of a ten-kilometer-sized asteroid and a 150-kilometer-sized asteroid would be a disaster for all mankind.
He also said that human beings cannot take chances and must unite to face disasters.
The two talked as if humanity would be destroyed this time.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming listened carefully. No matter what Xu Zhengping and Wang Xiuqi said, they just didn't answer. At most, they just smiled.
They knew that Xu Zhengping and Wang Xiuqi were talking.
Regarding the Xuanwu Project and the SS-Defense System, after all, these two people watched the rocket launch at the command and control center of the Satellite Launch Center and did not know much about the SS-Defense System.
Seeing that Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were not fooled, Xu Zhengping and Wang Xiu changed their strategies.
"Well, I know there are some things that I can't say, but I want to know that after the two asteroids collided and developed in the worst direction, can we humans escape this disaster?" Xu Zhengping asked expectantly.
"Yes! We are worried that science and technology are about to develop explosively and mankind is about to fully enter space. I don't want mankind to be wiped out at this juncture." Wang Xiuqi said regretfully.
"Principal! Don't worry, even if it develops in the worst direction, we can still handle it." Su Zhe said with certainty.
"Teacher!" Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "Let me put it this way, even if the asteroid 150 kilometers in size hits the earth directly, we humans will not be wiped out."
"real!"
"That would be great!"
Xu Zhengping and Wang Xiuqi said excitedly.
After saying this, several people began to chat about the infrastructure construction of Tamu Gobi.
According to the plan, Tamu Desert will be a super factory that gathers all industrial product manufacturing.
Plus the Super Hadron Collider complex and the Space Gateway.
These require supporting infrastructure.
There are transportation, water supply, electricity, Internet, housing, etc.
Take transportation as an example, roads, railways and airports are all covered.
Both roads and railways go directly to Lingzhou.
According to the school's plan, a direct high-speed rail will be built between Lingzhou and Tamu Gobi, and a subway will be built underground in Tamu Gobi.
And freight railways and stuff.
In general, a large amount of money will be invested in the infrastructure construction of Tamu Gobi.
After talking about infrastructure, we talked about super factories.
The super factory will be completed starting from the lithium-sulfur battery production line and the entire electric vehicle industry chain.
At present, the automated lithium-sulfur battery production line is already under construction, and the preliminary plan for the entire electric vehicle industry chain plan has been released.
Starting from every part of the electric car.
Start with the raw materials.
While chatting, the bus arrived at Tamu Town, a small town on the edge of the Tamu Desert.
