From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

When the international public opinion continued to discuss, the news had already spread back to China.

Compared with the international public opinion, the domestic public opinion is a bit ridiculous, because it has become commonplace to be reported by some media. No one believes that the SN3-R3 satellite was destroyed by some kind of ray weapon.

Therefore, most of the public opinion is ridiculed, "We actually have such an amazing weapon that can accurately destroy satellites at an altitude of 200 kilometers!"

"This news is really exciting. I think it should be a super ray fired from the ground, which belongs to the kind of weapon that cannot be avoided from a direct hit."

"It seems that our anti-satellite technology has matured..."

"In fact, you don't know. I have a gossip. We have really mastered the anti-satellite technology. This time it is just an experiment. Of course, the experiment can't take our own satellite as the target, so we aimed at a commercial satellite."

"This anti-satellite technology is an upgraded version of the electromagnetic gun. It is the real electromagnetic gun that emits electromagnetic light waves at the speed of light..."

"The code name of this weapon is..."

"..."

Wucheng, CSIC 701 Research Institute.

Li Hongshuo was browsing through the comments one by one in front of the computer. When he saw the last comment, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Why does this sound so familiar?"

"An electromagnetic gun that travels at the speed of light can directly hit satellites from the ground..."

"correct!"

"It seems that Academician Wang mentioned this kind of weapon, and asked if there is any theoretical support for it..."

A very strange idea suddenly appeared in Li Hongshuo's thinking head, "Couldn't this be the super weapon researched by Academician Wang?"

"Won't it really be said? Maybe it's really just an experiment? Take a foreign commercial satellite as the target?"

"However, 260 kilometers? Shouldn't it be a commercial satellite?" Many people with certain space knowledge can make similar judgments.

The altitude of 260 kilometers is really weird.

In the field of satellites, the altitude of military satellites is already very low, ranging from 500 kilometers to 800 kilometers.

Some satellites with special functions, such as meteorological satellites and GPS positioning satellites, have an altitude of more than 10,000 kilometers.

The height of commercial satellites is hard to say, but 260 kilometers is relatively low.

For example, the Starlink satellites of the famous space exploration company also have an average height of more than 380 kilometers.

In the range of 100 kilometers to 200 kilometers, the most common are military spy satellites.

The public 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...

Spy satellites!

...

Xihai University.

In Wang Hao's office, an investigator sent by his superiors was waiting. He was Huang Wenhao, the secretary of Mr. Xu from the Science and Technology Department.

The purpose of Huang Wenhao's coming to Wang Hao was to ask about the satellite. Of course they knew about the F-ray experiment, and they also had other sources of information. They knew that the damaged satellite was not at an altitude of 260 kilometers, but only at a height of more than 100 kilometers.

That's probably a spy satellite.

Of course, it doesn't matter what specific satellite was damaged, what matters is whether the matter is related to f-rays.

Wang Hao also just got the news, and he also felt a little puzzled. Of course, he couldn't give an accurate answer, "I don't know about this. The only thing that is certain is that we don't have any anti-satellite technology. In fact, we have been constantly research to correct the accuracy of F-rays, and 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 the past few days.

He Yi sorted out the information and came over.

After entering the office, he was a little confused when he saw Huang Kai. After the introduction, he realized that he was talking about the satellite. He immediately shook his head and said, "This must have nothing to do with us. It is probably their normal damage."

Then he took out the documents.

Wang Hao checked the information of more than a dozen experiments in the past, and then identified one of them. He compared the time and direction of the launch of the F-ray with the information released by the American Satellite Control Center, and found that the time of the launch of the F-ray and the time when the satellite was damaged , there is a difference of two minutes.

"The time is not right..."

Seeing the results of the comparison, He Yi hurriedly added something.

After he found out about the matter, he didn't feel anything at first, and then the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. What if?

They just did an experiment and destroyed other people's satellites?

This seems to be causing trouble!

It's a big deal!

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 connect the coordinates released by the satellite control center with the ground-facing position, and then calculate a function. The two functions are compared, analyzed and calculated, and a focus coordinate is obtained as a result.

The Z value of the focus coordinates means that the height is 131.73 kilometers.

This data is an approximate conclusion halfway through. He Yi looked at the whole calculation. Even if the mathematics level is poor, it is just a comparison with the mathematics department. He still understands what Wang Hao is doing.

He slowly opened the corners of his mouth, with an embarrassing 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 already 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 very remarkable.

If it is placed on a plane, two different straight lines can only intersect and be parallel, but it is different when placed in a three-dimensional space. In most cases, the two lines do not intersect.

Because there must be a deviation between the calculation and the reality, and the two-minute difference in launch time, coupled with the almost intersecting trajectories, is enough to show that the probability is not a coincidence.

Huang Kai hasn't understood yet, but Wang Hao and He Yi have already understood.

He Yi was sweating profusely.

Wang Hao said with a relaxed smile, "The information they released is really inaccurate. The coordinates are correct, but the altitude is wrong. The real altitude is about 131 kilometers."

Huang Kai came over in surprise and asked, "Calculated?"

"Calculated."

Wang Hao nodded.

Before Huang Kai's mind turned around, he subconsciously asked, "Is it related to the experiment?"

He Yi said with a painful face, "If it's irrelevant... how do you calculate it?"

"..."

"..."

The three were silent together.

After a long time, Wang Hao and He Yi looked at each other and sighed in unison, "Their luck is too bad!"

"Our luck is too good!"

The previous sentence was said by He Yi, with a bitter and depressed tone. He was still worried about the impact of the incident. After all, he destroyed the opponent's satellite, which may cause certain consequences.

He Yi also explained, "This probability is more than one in a million, right? Just happened to let them catch up?"

If we calculate the probability, the probability of a satellite being hit is far less than buying a lottery ticket and winning 5 million prizes. A satellite with a length of more than ten meters is just a small point in space, and it can even be ignored directly.

Not to mention hitting by chance, even if you carefully observe and calculate, and then carefully check the direction, it is very, very difficult to hit.

Wang Hao's reaction was completely different from He Yi's. He smiled all over his face and said excitedly, "Their luck is indeed bad, but our luck is too good!"

"Professor He, have you forgotten? The purpose of our experiment is to verify whether strong laser irradiation will increase the release distance of F-rays. Now the results have been significantly improved!"

He Yi immediately reacted, "That's right! Normally, the F-rays released under extreme pressure have a maximum release distance of no more than 80,000 meters. Academician Wang, according to your calculations, 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 established experimental goals and came to a good conclusion.

only……

A satellite became the target.

"Does it matter?" He Yi immediately asked Huang Kai.

Huang Kai was silent just now because he was very shocked. When they discussed it, they just thought that it might have something to do with 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.

Hearing He Yi's question now, he immediately waved his hands and said, "The international community doesn't see it that way, of course there is no problem."

"Professor He, don't worry."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, feeling his brain buzzing, F-rays hitting satellites?

Also hit?

Even if it is just a coincidence in the experiment, it is very remarkable, indicating that the F-ray release distance 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 result, he prepared to leave overnight. He had to report the matter as soon as possible. Before leaving, he kept reminding, "This matter must be kept secret!"

"Stop talking about it, the matter of the satellite has nothing to do with us!"

"We don't even know..."

...

Just like the shock in Huang Kai's heart, the others were also very shocked when they heard the news.

The previous research on F-rays was only regarded as a new technology, and it will 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 a "new physics" research.

It's different now.

This is no longer a future technology, but a military technology that can be directly used, and it is a very effective high-end anti-satellite technology.

From the perspective of scientific and technological development, the release distance of F-rays can exceed 100 kilometers, so it is not a problem to continue to strengthen it to reach hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers, and there will be no technical difficulties in the middle.

If F-rays can be released over a range of more than 1,000 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.

Even if the anti-satellite factor is ignored, it only covers an altitude of less than 100,000 kilometers, and its instantaneous release, light-speed transmission, ability to destroy electronic equipment and the characteristics of F-rays igniting nuclear reactors are enough to make it an air defense weapon.

Of course.

Against ordinary missiles, the effect is not so good, but it can target incoming nuclear bombs, and it can also target all incoming fighters in the air.

Regardless of whether it is an early warning aircraft, bomber, or fighter aircraft, if it hits with a single hit within a range of 100 kilometers, as long as it is locked, there is no chance of dodging.

After all, no matter how fast the aircraft is, is it faster than the speed of light?

This weapon is really too important.

Therefore, the importance of research has been raised to another level, with the direct participation of the military science and technology department, and the full support of funds and auxiliary settings.

In addition, the experimental base also decided to relocate and put it in a more secret place.

Wang Hao is very happy that research has been given more attention. No matter how many departments participate, it will not affect him at all. Whether it is conducting experiments or booking research and development goals, it is all up to him to decide.

However, he did not continue to participate, but focused on researching theoretical issues, because without theoretical support, technical improvement is always limited.

With the current technology, it is almost impossible to let the F-ray release distance reach thousands of kilometers, and precise control of the release will be a big problem.

Therefore, theoretical issues must be improved.

Wang Hao recruited other team members and decided to conduct research on the official announcement direction.

They held an internal meeting anyway.

Wang Hao did not directly explain the experimental conclusions and the main direction of research and development, but let others talk about the work progress first.

Things are different now with the group.

Helen has parted ways with Paul Phil-Jones because of their different ideas about spatial performance, but they are not doing research alone.

Helen and Ding Zhiqiang became a combination.

Ding Zhiqiang was passive, but he was really afraid of this "senior sister" who was younger than him. Facing Helen's stern tone of invitation, he couldn't say no immediately.

Then, they studied together.

For Ding Zhiqiang, this can be described as 'suffering'.

Originally, it was easy for him to do research by himself, and he could play mobile games or watch movies when he had time, but Helen gave him a series of tasks.

Of course his IQ was not as good as Helen's, so he had to work overtime to complete his work.

On the other hand, Paul Phil-Jones is doing research with Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen's main direction is astrophysics, part of which is the content of cosmic microwave radiation.

Paul Phil-Jones believed that his space short-wave theory was related to the actual cosmic microwave radiation.

This is the connection between theory and reality.

"Our research suggests that cosmic microwave radiation is not a legacy of the Big Bang, but rather a medium of energy transmission in space."

"Space short waves are transmitted in the form of microwave radiation, and a balance of power is achieved in the universe, so that microwave radiation fills the entire universe..."
