Chapter 266 The Sword of Damocles, the Sky Won’t Fall
Musk was confirming the missile destruction plan, but Ma Tian ignored it and went to the Hexagram Satellite Launch Center to change the next wave of satellite launch plans.
The next wave of 126 satellites will be ready to go up to the sky this weekend. The original plan was to continue to seize the satellite coordinates applied by Musk, but according to the discussion at the meeting just now, it must be changed.
Even so, when 7 rockets were launched into the sky again at the weekend, it still scared the Eagle Sauce.
Musk, Becker Cobb and others hurriedly called to inquire, and they were relieved when they learned that it was just a satellite launch and did not seize Musk's coordinates.
"Mr. Hua Shuwen, please tell us in advance when you launch the satellite to avoid some trouble!" Becker Cobb was full of anger and almost exploded.
His term as chairman of telecommunications will definitely end this year. He does not ask for further progress, but only for a stable retirement. Now, it seems that Ma Tian has been making trouble, and it is questionable whether he can retire safely.
"The coordinates will be announced in advance for each launch in the future. Don't worry, we are not launching missiles to attack you, so you don't have to be so scared!" Hua Shuwen shrugged his eyebrows and didn't want to pay attention to this foreigner.
However, for the sake of world stability, the satellite coordinates must be announced in advance, otherwise other countries will do the same, and the future will be chaotic.
This time it was not announced, and it was also deliberately to scare the Eagle Sauce, so as not to make them feel that they have no temper.
"Okay, thank you." Becker Cobb smiled and was completely relieved.
Another week later, the Hexagram Launch Center launched another 7 rockets and launched 126 satellites.
This time Hua Shuwen announced the coordinates to the world in advance, which did not cause any panic, but once again brought shock.
[Is the speed of this satellite launch too fast? ]
[Ah, is Ma Tian going to grab all the low-orbit satellite coordinates? ]
[Baga Yalu, Kameda, our country must also launch satellites quickly. 】
…
Musk was also called to a meeting with a serious face to discuss what to do about this matter. Ma Tian’s speed of launching satellites is really terrible.
No one knows where Ma Tian’s limit is. More than 500 satellites were launched this month, which means 6,000 satellites a year.
“How is the missile plan? Hasn’t it been put on track yet?” Becker Cobb was anxious. He was desperate now.
He thought that it was because they did not "show their fists" in time to destroy the 125 satellites that caused Ma Tian to launch rockets recklessly.
“The missile plan is still being perfected and it will take at least one month to start.” Tissier Barber, the person in charge of missiles, replied.
“There is no time. If we delay it any further, Ma Tian will doubt our technology and become more reckless.” Becker Cobb was really convinced. Is this missile department a group of pigs? It took two weeks to make a plan, and it will take another month.
"I'll try my best." Tissier Barber was also very depressed. Becker Cobb spoke without hesitation, as if it was easy to use missiles to hit satellites. Let's not talk about the technology first, just talk about the launch cost. Will the government subsidize it?
A pile of debts.
"I don't care how you are not united internally. You must prepare to shoot down Ma Tian's 125 satellites next week. This is the most important thing. Anyone who blocks it is equivalent to betraying our United States." Becker Cobb almost roared.
"Okay." Tissier Barber finally agreed.
...
Facts have proved that it is still reasonable to say that the Eagle Sauce is bad, but not the Eagle Sauce. On Thursday, Tissier Barber announced the missile plan, and this Saturday, the 125 satellites of Ma Tian will be shot down.
The whole world is paying attention again. 125 missiles hitting 125 satellites is also the first case in the world. Such a large battle has to make many people think more.
Countries such as the United States and romantic France are paying attention to it openly and secretly, wanting to see what kind of "answer sheet" the Eagle Sauce will hand in this time.
Tianyu Xinghai, Hua Shuwen also came here by special plane.
"Ma Tian, the plan of the United States has been confirmed. At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, they will launch 125 missiles at the same time to destroy our 125 satellites." Hua Shuwen said while looking at Ma Tian's face.
"Well, it's weaker than I thought!" Ma Tian grinned and showed a smile, not hiding his contempt for the Eagle Sauce and others.
The cost of launching 125 satellites here is no more than 6 million, but they chose to destroy them with missiles.
Although the specific cost is unknown, it is definitely far more than 6 million, and using missiles is the most destructive way, and it is also the lowest way in Ma Tian's opinion.
"Huh, it's okay, after all, there is no such precedent. They can shoot it down with missiles, which is already a pioneering work. Ma Tian, if it were you, what method would you use?" Hua Shuwen said while looking at the sky in the distance outside the glass.
"Laser!"
"?" Hua Shuwen suddenly turned his head to look at Ma Tian, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he said in disbelief, "You have such laser technology?"
Ma Tian did not speak, and walked slowly to the screen, asking Tianji to display the first wave of 126 satellite images of the earth on the screen.
"I am responsible for designing these 126 satellites. They have been operating in low-altitude orbits in a 777 matrix, with a total of 6 groups. Assuming, I mean assuming, each satellite is equipped with a 30-kilowatt laser and forms a laser phased array, then it can achieve an energy strike of 1,600 kilowatts against a target 200 kilometers away, and an energy strike of 800 kilowatts against a target 300 kilometers away."
"800 kilowatts is enough to destroy everything!" Ma Tian looked at Hua Shuwen and said loudly.
Hua Shuwen's pupils were getting bigger, "Ma Tian, you haven't equipped those 126 satellites, have you? Don't mess around, there will be trouble!"
"Yeah!" Ma Tian nodded, but Hua Shuwen was stunned.
"Ma Tian, tell me all your plans, I can't let you mess around, otherwise you will get into trouble." Hua Shuwen came back to his senses from the shock and said quickly.
"All of their 125 missiles will be intercepted by the lasers on the satellites. That is to say, unless Musk and his team have other technologies, they will never be able to destroy the 125 satellites we launched. This is the real problem I gave them!"
"Anything else?"
"The Sword of Damocles, the first wave of 126 satellites launched will be the Sword of Damocles hanging on the earth, which can achieve a destructive strike on any coordinate of the earth!" Ma Tian said slowly.
Tianji also displayed the simulated destruction video on the screen in time and showed it to Hua Shuwen.
Taking the most famous cities in the United States as an example, if 126 satellites form a phased laser array, then within 30 seconds, a beam of light will descend, like the sharpest cutting knife, cutting and exploding at the same time. Within 2 minutes, a city of tens of millions of people will become a ruin.
After watching the video, Hua Shuwen collapsed in his chair. He didn't expect Ma Tian to play so big.
"Ma Tian, if you do this, I don't know what the situation will become!" Hua Shuwen spoke after a long time. With his vision, he didn't know how things would turn out.
"The sky won't fall!" Ma Tian looked at the sky in the distance and said.
He didn't know what would happen in the future, but he knew that the United States no longer had the confidence to speak to them in an arrogant manner.
