While international public opinion continued to stir, the news had already spread back to China.
Compared with international public opinion, domestic public opinion is a bit funny, because it has become commonplace to be reported by some media with dirty reports. No one believes that the SN3-R3 satellite was destroyed by some kind of radiation weapon.
Therefore, most public opinion is ridiculing, "We actually have such amazing weapons that can accurately destroy satellites at an altitude of 200 kilometers!"
"This news is really exciting. I think it is a super ray fired from the ground. It is the kind of weapon that cannot be avoided if it hits directly."
"It seems that our anti-satellite technology has matured..." "Actually, you don't know. I have some gossip. We have truly mastered anti-satellite technology. This time it is just an experiment. Of course, you cannot use your own experiments. A satellite was the target, so we aimed at a commercial satellite.”
"This anti-satellite technology is an upgraded version of the electromagnetic gun. It is a real electromagnetic gun that emits electromagnetic light waves at the speed of light..."
"The code name for this weapon is..." ""
...
Wucheng, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation 701 Research Institute.
Li Hongshuo was browsing the comments one by one on the computer. When he saw the last comment, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.
"Why does this sound so familiar?"
"An electromagnetic gun that reaches the speed of light and is fired from the ground can directly hit satellites..."
"correct!"
"It seems that Academician Wang has mentioned this kind of weapon and asked if there is any specific theoretical support..."
A very strange idea suddenly appeared in Li Hongshuo's thinking mind, "Isn't this the super weapon developed by Academician Wang?"
"You can't really be right, right? Maybe it's just an experiment? Use a foreign commercial satellite as a target?"
"But, 260 kilometers? It shouldn't be a commercial satellite, right?" Many people with some space knowledge can make similar judgments.
The altitude of 260 kilometers is really weird.
In the satellite field, the altitude of military satellites is already very low, ranging from 500 kilometers to 800 kilometers.
Some satellites with special functions, such as weather satellites and GPS positioning satellites, have altitudes exceeding 10,000 kilometers.
It’s hard to say the altitude of commercial satellites, but 260 kilometers is relatively low.
For example, the Starlink satellites of the famous Space Exploration Company have an average altitude of more than 380 kilometers.
In the range of 100 kilometers to 200 kilometers, the most common ones are military spy satellites.
The publicly disclosed altitude of the damaged satellite is 260 kilometers. The data looks a bit strange. Coupled with the "strange" announcement issued by the satellite control center, it is probably not a commercial satellite, but... a spy satellite!
...
Saikai University.
Waiting in Wang Hao's office was the investigator sent by his superiors, Huang Wenhao, who was the secretary of Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The purpose of Huang Wenhao coming to Wang Hao was to ask about the satellite. Of course they knew about the F-ray experiment, and they also had other information channels. They knew that the damaged satellite was not at an altitude of 260 kilometers, but only more than 100 kilometers away.
There is a high probability that it is a spy satellite.
Of course, it doesn't matter what satellite was damaged, what matters is whether it is related to f-rays.
Wang Hao had just received the news and was also a little confused. Of course, he couldn't give an accurate answer. "I don't know this either. The only thing I'm sure of is that we don't have any anti-satellite technology. In fact, we have been constantly using it recently." Research to correct the accuracy problem of F-rays, and it is more than 100 kilometers..."
He shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Professor He to ask."
Wang Hao simply called He Yi and asked him to come over with the experimental data of recent days.
He Yi came over after sorting out the information.
After walking into the office, he was a little confused when he saw Huang Kai. After the introduction, he realized that they were talking about satellites. He immediately shook his head and said, "This must have nothing to do with us. It is probably just their normal damage."
Then he took out the information.
Wang Hao checked the information of the past dozen experiments, and then found one of them. He compared the time and direction of the F-ray emission with the information released by the Amerikan Satellite Control Center, and found that the time of F-ray emission and the time of satellite damage , there is a difference of two minutes.
"The time doesn't match..."
When He Yi saw the comparison results, he quickly added something.
After he knew what happened, he didn't feel much at first, and then the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. What if?
They just did an experiment and ended up destroying other people's satellites?
This seems to be causing trouble! Big trouble!
At this time, Wang Hao took out a piece of A4 paper, did some simple calculations on the paper, and finally found some information on spatial coordinates, and then wrote a spatial linear function.
Then, the coordinates released by the satellite control center and the position facing the ground are connected to each other, and a function is obtained. The two functions are compared and analyzed, and a focus coordinate is obtained.
The Z value of the focus coordinate means that the altitude is 131.73 kilometers.
This data was roughly concluded midway. He Yi looked at the entire calculation. Even if his mathematics level was inferior, it was just a comparison with the mathematics department. He still understood what Wang Hao was doing.
He slowly opened his mouth, with an embarrassed expression on his face, but he still said, "...There is still a deviation, and it must have nothing to do with us."
His confidence is seriously lacking.
Wang Hao's calculations have explained everything. He wrote two three-dimensional straight line functions.
The two functions almost intersect!
This 'almost' means that there is a slight deviation, but 'almost intersecting' is also remarkable.
If placed on a plane, two different straight lines can only intersect or be parallel. However, it is different when placed on a three-dimensional space. In most cases, the two straight lines do not intersect directly.
Because there must be a deviation between calculation and reality, and the two-minute difference in launch time, coupled with the fact that the trajectories almost intersect, is enough to show that there is a high probability that it is not a coincidence.
Huang Kai hasn't understood it yet, but Wang Hao and He Yi already understand it.
He Yi's head was covered with sweat.
Wang Hao said with a relaxed smile, "The information they released is really inaccurate. The coordinates are correct, but the height is wrong. The real height is about 131 kilometers."
Huang Kai came over in surprise and asked, "Did you calculate it?"
"Calculated." Wang Hao nodded.
Before Huang Kai's mind could turn around, he subconsciously asked, "Is it related to the experiment?"
He Yi said with a face full of pain, "If it doesn't matter...how to calculate it?"
"The three of them were silent together.
After quite a while, Wang Hao and He Yi looked at each other and sighed in unison, "They must be so unlucky!"
"We're so lucky!"
The previous sentence was said by He Yi, with a bitter and depressed tone. He was still worried about the impact of the matter. After all, destroying the opponent's satellite might have certain consequences.
He Yi also explained, "The probability is more than one in a million, right? Did they just happen to catch up?"
If you calculate the probability, the probability of a satellite being hit is far less than winning a lottery ticket worth five million. A satellite with a length of more than ten meters is just a small dot in space and can even be ignored.
Let alone a hit by chance, even if you carefully observe, calculate, and correct the direction, it is very, very difficult to hit.
Wang Hao's reaction was completely different from He Yi's. With a smile on his face, he said with excitement, "Their luck is indeed bad, but our luck is also very good!"
"He taught
Professor, have you forgotten? The purpose of our experiment is to verify whether strong laser irradiation will increase the F-ray release distance. Now the results have been significantly improved! "
He Yi immediately reacted, "Yes! Normally, the maximum release distance of F-rays released under extreme pressure is no more than 80,000 meters. Academician Wang, according to your calculation, 131 kilometers? 131,000 meters!"
"Very good!"
"This is indeed a significant improvement!"
He Yi couldn't help but be very happy. They achieved the set experimental goals and drew good conclusions.
only.....
A satellite was targeted.
"Does this have any impact?" He Yi immediately asked Huang Kai.
Huang Kai had been silent just now because he felt very shocked. When they discussed it, they just thought that it might be related to F-rays, but basically they still didn't believe it.
He just came to ask symbolically, but he didn't expect it to be related to the F-ray experiment.
Now that he heard He Yi's question, he immediately waved his hand and said, "The international community doesn't see it that way, so of course there is no problem."
"Professor He, don't worry."
He took a deep breath as he spoke, feeling his head buzzing. F-rays hitting satellites?
Still hit?
Even if it is just a coincidence in the experiment, it is very remarkable, indicating that the release distance of F-rays has exceeded 100 kilometers, and it can also pose a direct threat to satellites.
This is definitely super anti-satellite technology.
After Huang Kai got the results, he was ready to leave overnight. He had to report the matter as soon as possible. Before leaving, he kept reminding him, "This matter must be kept secret!"
"Stop talking about it, the satellite thing has nothing to do with us!"
"We have no idea..."......
Just like Huang Kai was shocked, others were also very shocked when they heard the news.
Previous research on F-rays was only regarded as a new technology, and it would take a long time to apply it, maybe ten or twenty years, maybe even longer.
At the same time, the research is also directly linked to the strong annihilation force, and to a certain extent, it is regarded as "new physics" research.
It's different now.
This is no longer some future technology, but a military technology that can be used directly. It is a very effective high-end anti-satellite technology.
From the perspective of technological development, the F-ray emission distance can exceed 100 kilometers. If it continues to be strengthened to reach hundreds or thousands of kilometers, it will naturally not be a problem, and there will be no technical difficulties in the process.
If F-rays can be released over a thousand kilometers, they can pose a direct threat to most military satellites.
If it can reach several thousand kilometers, over ten thousand kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers, it will naturally pose a direct threat to all satellites.
This is the 'anti-satellite weapon', an absolute killer weapon. Even if anti-satellite factors are put aside, it only covers an altitude of less than 100,000 kilometers, is released instantly, conducts at the speed of light, can destroy electronic equipment and ignite nuclear reactors with F-rays, which is enough to make it a weapon for air defense.
Of course.
The effect is not that good against ordinary missiles, but it can target incoming nuclear bombs and all incoming fighters in the air.
Whether it is an early warning aircraft, a bomber, or a fighter plane, if it hits a target within a hundred kilometers range, as long as it is locked, there will be no chance to escape.
After all, no matter how fast the aircraft is, can it still go faster than the speed of light?
This weapon is really important.
Therefore, the emphasis on research has been raised to another level, with the direct participation of military science and technology departments and the full support of funds and auxiliary facilities.
In addition, the experimental base also decided to relocate to a more private place.
Wang Hao is very happy that research is being taken more seriously. No matter how many departments are involved, it will not affect him at all. Whether it is conducting experiments or setting research and development goals, it is all decided by him.
But he didn't continue
Participate, but focus on researching theoretical issues, because without theoretical support, technical improvement is always limited.
With current technology, it is almost impossible to release F-rays over a distance of thousands of kilometers, and precise control of the release will be a big problem.
Therefore, theoretical issues must be improved.
Wang Hao found other team members and decided to conduct research on the officially announced direction.
They still held an internal meeting.
Wang Hao did not directly explain the experimental conclusions and main directions of research and development, but first let others talk about the progress of the work.
Things are different now with the group.
Helen and Paul Field-Jones have parted ways because of different ideas about the expressive nature of space, but they are not doing research alone.
Helen and Ding Zhiqiang became a combination.
Ding Zhiqiang was passive, but he was really a little afraid of this 'senior sister' who was younger than him. Faced with Helen's stern tone of invitation, he failed to say no immediately.
Then, they studied it together.
For Ding Zhiqiang, this can simply be described as 'suffering'.
Originally, it was easy for him to do research on his own, and he could play mobile games or watch movies when he had time. However, Helen assigned him a series of tasks.
Of course, his IQ is not as good as Helen's, so he has to work overtime to complete his work.
On the other side, Paul Phil-Jones is doing research with Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen’s main direction is related to astrophysics, part of which is the content of cosmic microwave radiation.
Paul Field-Jones believes that his theory of space shortwaves is related to the actual existence of cosmic microwave radiation.
This is the connection between theory and reality.
"Our research suggests that cosmic microwave radiation is not a remnant of the Big Bang, but a medium for energy conduction in space."
"Short-wave waves in space are transmitted in the form of microwave radiation and reach a balance in the universe, so that microwave radiation can flood the entire universe..."
