Chapter 290 Launching a Satellite
Shi Xuan happily sat down on the seat in the center of the base, looking at the big screen in front of him, with "Penglai" explaining next to him.
The aerospace plane was directly controlled by "Penglai" without the need for a pilot. It was slowly driving out of the cave dock and came to the sea near the island, floating quietly.
Because the stealth mode has been activated, even if the detection satellites of other major powers in the sky pay attention, it is impossible to find the space plane, not to mention that no major power will waste extremely important satellite resources to check the situation of such a remote country of Kiris.
The aerospace plane takes off on the water very lightly, like an ordinary plane, straight into the sky.
The speed of the plane increased rapidly, and soon there appeared a conical cloud with the plane as the central axis, starting from the front of the wing and spreading evenly around the rear. Shi Xuan knew that this was the plane breaking through the sound barrier.
For the technology of human beings on earth, it is not too difficult to break through the sound barrier. Several major countries have developed many supersonic aircraft, but the aerospace aircraft made by "Penglai" is much easier than theirs. It's an understatement to boost the speed above the speed of sound.
The aerospace plane continued to increase its speed. From the data displayed on the screen, Shi Xuan saw that it quickly reached a high speed of 8 times the speed of sound, and then cruised steadily.
"Penglai" next to him explained: "In fact, the speed can be increased, but this speed is enough, and it would be a waste of energy to increase the speed."
Shi Xuan nodded, he didn't have to worry about these professional skills, and he couldn't be more at ease when handing them over to "Penglai".
The aerospace plane continued to climb higher, and the sky gradually changed from blue to cyan, then dark cyan, and finally dark purple again.
The higher you go, the fewer and fewer molecules in the atmosphere, so the scattering ability of the atmosphere will decrease sharply. If you fly higher, the scattering effect of the atmospheric molecules in the sky will be almost invisible, and the sky will appear black and purple. , and finally the atmospheric scattering completely disappears, and the sky will be flooded with darkness.
"Okay, reaching the predetermined altitude, the satellite is ready!"
Penglai introduced to Shi Xuan, the belly hatch of the aerospace plane opened, and a small rocket slowly protruded out.
The front part of the rocket is loaded with satellites, and the rest of the journey needs to be accelerated by the rocket to send it into a pre-designed orbit.
Soon, the rocket was ignited, flames were ejected from the tail, and the rocket body flew forward instantly with the satellite.
In a blink of an eye, the rocket moved away from the aerospace plane and reached the predetermined orbit.The rocket body was detached, and the front shield was separated, and the satellite was released, and the solar panels were deployed.
"Okay, the first satellite is placed, let's move on to the second one."
Penglai has produced five satellites, which need to be placed in different orbits in order to cover and detect the whole world, so it is necessary to go to other locations to release rockets.
If it is in other countries, for such a complicated event as launching a satellite, many scientists must monitor various data at the launch center and make various fine-tuning through the equipment at any time.For Shi Xuan, who is assisted by extraterrestrial intelligence and technology, it is very relaxed, drinking a drink leisurely in his seat, while watching the aerospace plane launch satellites on the big screen.
At the same time, at the Citigroup Strategic Missile Defense System Command Center, Admiral Jefferson was leaning on his office chair, humming a Western ballad, and was in a good mood.
Today, his daughter, who often lives in the east, brought her grandson and granddaughter to visit him. It has been half a year since they saw each other, which made him look forward to the family dinner at night.
The thick wooden door of the office opened, and Mihir, a secretary with wavy blond hair, walked in quickly with a nervous expression, "General! There is the highest alert signal!"
"What!" Jefferson stood up abruptly.
The Missile Defense System Command is an extremely important department. Although it has to maintain vigilance all year round, it rarely receives real warning signals. This is the first time Jefferson has encountered this since he became the head of this department.
"The captain of the USS Howard, which was cruising at the equator in the South Pacific, made an emergency call. The Aegis system on board detected a rocket operation signal at the edge of the atmosphere! Relevant data and information have also been transmitted to the oa system!" Mihir Very nervously, he handed the iPad in his hand to his boss. The URL of the relevant system had been opened on it, requiring Jefferson to enter a password to log in.
Jefferson quickly took it, entered the password in a hurry, entered the system, and immediately saw the urgent red message that needed to be dealt with.
He took a quick glance at the relevant data, and quickly pressed the button to agree. The data will be sent to the president and combat units that can launch intercept missiles. Once it is confirmed that there are missiles approaching the mainland of Citigroup, these combat units will have the authority to launch intercept missiles.
Jefferson's face was livid, and he said to the beautiful secretary in front of him, "Call the president immediately!"
Mihir had been prepared for a long time, and immediately dialed the special phone and handed it to him.
"Mr. President! Urgent information. A rocket signal has been detected over the Pacific Ocean. It is suspected that there is an unidentified flying object. It cannot be ruled out that it is a strategic missile!"
"What!" Citi President Ao Ba Niu was also shocked, "Organize and intercept immediately!"
"All grassroots combat units have been authorized to intercept missile attacks in the direction of the homeland as soon as they are discovered."
"Could it be a nuclear weapon?"
"It has not been determined, and this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"We must ensure that the interception is successful, and we must never allow the attack to reach Citi's homeland at any cost!"
"Please rest assured! We have sufficient interception capabilities! The missile defense system has all entered a state of war, and we will never let any aircraft approach our mainland!"
"Which country launched the flying object? Huaxia or Beixiong?"
"Temporarily unknown, it is already under monitoring and deduction! I believe there will be news soon!"
"Find out immediately, I want to know all the news!"
Ao Ba Niu hung up the phone, cursing and saying: "Damn it! Which damned country is out to stir up trouble!"
After thinking for a while, he said to the secretary-general next to him: "Call the secretary of state here for me!"
Similar situations are also happening in such powerful countries and regions as Huaxia, Beixiong, and Europa. The important leaders of the world have been alarmed by Shi Xuan's action of launching a satellite...
Shi Xuan, the initiator of all this, did not know the reaction of these high-level officials. He was still leisurely watching the air plane continue to launch other satellites in the underground base.
The first satellite soon began to work normally. At the upper right of the big screen, a large area of the originally dark world map was illuminated, including Kiris, Nanyang, Australia, and a large area of the South Pacific. Bright.
"From now on, I can implement all-round high-precision monitoring of this area, and I can also control weapons and equipment to fight in these areas."
"Great!" Shi Xuan was very happy. This meant that as long as he sat here and passed Penglai's remote control, he could command the biochemical warriors to enter Nanyang Kingdom.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "To what extent can such high precision be achieved?"
