Chapter 407 Emergencies
Li Nan immediately became nervous.

"Chairman, let's go to the emergency shelter first."

Huang Haojie nodded.

At the same time, whether it was Ye Haisheng and others who were doing experiments, or Zhang Yunfeng, Liao Qingsong and others in the middle area, they all reacted quickly.

Inside the total control cabin.

The red police lights flickered frantically, and Zhang Yunfeng looked at the holographic display with a frown.

"Boss, there is a big trouble." Li Xuan, who was acting as the monitor of the space station, said hurriedly.

"I know, Li Xuan, you have monitored the traces of the debris now, and learned that you will see the situation and prepare to activate the shield defense." Zhang Yunfeng immediately ordered.

"receive."

Zhang Yunfeng picked up the communicator: "Qingsong received it, please reply."

"Liao Qingsong received it."

"You go to the upper area immediately and settle down the researchers."

"The director..."

"The chairman has his own arrangements and executes orders."

"receive."

Zhang Yunfeng knew that Huang Haojie was a stand-in robot at this time, so he had nothing to worry about, so he sent instructions to the other two staff members on the space station to go to the Qinglong-class spacecraft.

The emergency refuge cabin of the new Kaohsiung space station is in the middle area, which is connected with the parking area of ​​the Qinglong-class spacecraft. Once there is an emergency, they can quickly enter the Qinglong-class spacecraft and escape from the space station.

After a while, five researchers and Huang Haojie's substitute robot appeared in the emergency refuge cabin.

And Liao Qingsong came here after him.

"Everyone, please follow the previous safety regulations and put on space suits for outer space." Liao Qingsong said hastily.

"Chairman, you also wear..."

He suddenly petrified, because Huang Haojie opened the robot part of the arm.

"Don't worry about me, this is a stand-in robot."

"Hehe..." If you didn't say it earlier, you were really worried about death, Liao Qingsong complained in his heart with black lines all over his head.

After the researchers were dressed, Liao Qingsong also stayed here, while Huang Haojie drifted directly to the master control cabin.

After entering the master control cabin, he saw Zhang Yunfeng, Qin Xuexue, and Li Xuan who were busy.

"What on earth happened?"

"Chairman, the situation is..."

……

时间线倒退回道34分钟之前，也就是2020年3月26日，北平时间下午14：21分左右。

At 550 kilometers in the low-earth orbit of Blue Star, an artificial satellite numbered Starlink 66 suddenly lost control and fell towards Blue Star.

If it is just a fall, it is not enough to make the new Kaohsiung space station feel like an enemy.

During the fall of Undead Starlink 66, the Space Exploration Corporation tried to correct the orbit, but in the process of correcting the orbit, a running Western Continental weather satellite was reimbursed.

You must know that the weather satellite of the Xizhou Alliance, which suffered an indiscriminate disaster, is a large satellite weighing 14.7 tons.

This was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the weather satellite instantly disintegrated into a dozen large pieces of debris and countless small fragments.

The satellites operating in the nearby orbits are relatively dense, so under the chain reaction, in a low-earth orbit of 500 to 450 kilometers, in less than half an hour, three more satellites were destroyed by debris one after another.

Countless satellite fragments crazily rushed towards the low-earth orbit below 500 kilometers. The monitored fragments with a diameter of more than 5 centimeters alone exceeded 3 pieces, let alone those smaller fragments.

This consequence is disastrous, because after the satellite is destroyed, more debris will be born, which is simply a vicious circle.

The orbital altitude of the new Kaohsiung Space Station and the New Bazhong Space Station is about 450 kilometers, so they naturally bear the brunt.

Li Xuan shouted: "There are 14 large pieces of debris flying towards us at high speed in the orbit on the left, and they are expected to collide with us in 10 minutes."

"Repeat, there are 14 large pieces of debris flying towards us at high speed in the left orbit, and they are expected to collide with us in 10 minutes."

"Study, prepare immediately, activate the shield protection system in 5 minutes, and temporarily disable the right shield." Zhang Yunfeng calmly ordered.

"Got it." Qin Xuexue replied seriously.

Time passed by minute by minute.

at the same time.

The space agencies of various countries in Blue Star also cursed, especially the Western Continental Alliance, which was reimbursed for two satellites. They now have the heart to kill Elon Musk.

"Mr. Layton, the situation is very bad. Now the entire area below 500 kilometers in low-earth orbit may be attacked by satellite debris at any time, especially the three behemoths of the New Kaohsiung Space Station, the New Bazhong Space Station, and the International Space Station..." Luke, the person in charge of the satellite monitoring department, didn't dare to speak anymore.

Of course, Layton knew the danger of this. Once the space station was destroyed, the huge scale of debris could turn the low-Earth orbit into a dead zone.

Human beings will not be able to safely pass through low-Earth orbit for at least the next ten years, or they can only launch in airspace where debris is relatively rare.

Thinking of this, Layton couldn't help squinting his eyes, but then he suppressed that guess. After all, he is the person in charge of the Western Air Force Bureau, and he can't just say such things without evidence.

Except for the Western Space Agency and the Sunland Space Agency, other countries have a very ambiguous attitude towards this space accident.

I am sad that my own satellite may be hit by debris, but I also hope that the satellites or space stations of other countries, especially Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium, will be destroyed.

Because they all know that if the space station is destroyed, the huge debris can block the low-Earth orbit, so that the mass projectors of Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium are equivalent to useless.

They can use this time to develop their aerospace capabilities, and maybe catch up.

NASA, Houston Space Center.

Maxwell frowned and looked at the images monitored by the geosynchronous orbit satellite, and the satellite radar tracked the debris.

The dense debris marks on the screen, and a large number of trajectory analysis reports.

Dr. Archimedes on the side reminded: "Mr. Mike, I'm afraid the International Space Station..."

"I know, but what can we do?" Maxwell said with an ugly face.

"..." Archimedes was suddenly speechless.

The Boeing spacecraft failed to launch into orbit in December last year. Now the control program is being revised and a comprehensive inspection is being carried out again.

As for the launch of Elon Musk's "Dragon spacecraft" in January this year, the launch process was even more tragic. The launch vehicle engine lost control, and the fuel tank blew up the entire spacecraft to slag.

Now they can't count on it. As for asking Maoxiong Space Agency for help? They can't help. The trouble with the launch vehicle is that the preparation time is too long.

Astronauts on the International Space Station will be cool when they get their launch vehicle ready.

The only way to save the astronauts on the International Space Station is to ask the Space Development Committee for help.

"Oh my God!"

"A lot of debris rushed towards the new Kaohsiung space station."

The staff of the satellite monitoring department suddenly exclaimed.

Maxwell, Archimedes and others quickly zoomed in on the new Kaohsiung space station through satellite monitoring, and a very clear picture appeared in front of everyone.

Maxwell even saw one of the huge satellite wreckage, which was rapidly crashing into the new Kaohsiung space station.

"It seems that the new Kaohsiung space station is in danger." Dr. Archimedes said with some concern. Although Mi Li's family and Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance did not deal with it, the death of the rabbit and the fox are inevitable.
