Chapter 110 The Instigator
"By then, I think your military department will have to arrange 50-100 security personnel there to deal with unexpected situations that may occur at any time."
Liu Shengzhan nodded. 1200 people staying on the moon for a long time would definitely require security personnel. If something unexpected happened, the loss would be too great.
"Okay, let's set it at 100. Among them, we will retain 10 astronauts with professional aerospace knowledge, and the others will be changed to ordinary combat sequence members. What do you think?"
"I'll follow your arrangements. But we're running short on time. The test feedback from the space elevator is perfect. After the construction is completed, a large amount of base expansion materials can be sent to the lunar base in batches with the construction engineers."
When Fan Ren said this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
This grand space age has finally arrived with the space elevator about to be officially put into use.
"There are two hours left until impact. Continue to monitor the space station. The air defense forces are ready. The supercomputer has successfully connected to the command data link. Prepare for the test launch!"
As the colonel who had previously reported to Liu Shengzhan spoke, a screen appeared on the big screen.
On the screen, a missile launcher was spreading out its support frame, while the 15-meter-long cylinder on its back was erected high, pointing straight to the sky.
"Target drone in position, ignite!"
Fan Ren saw a large amount of yellow gas suddenly spurting out from the tail of the missile, and then the missile began to shoot out of the missile tube.
Just as it left the missile tube, a high-temperature impact flame with a length of 10 meters was ejected from the tail. At this moment, the missile rushed into the sky like a wild horse.
"The Red 9 series of air defense missiles has a maximum speed of 1200 kilometers per hour and is equipped with a kinetic impact module. The maximum interception distance is 200 kilometers."
Liu Shengzhan introduced it to Fan Ren, and there was a hint of obsession in his eyes as he looked at the missile.
Fan Ren shuddered. This guy was the one with violence in his bones.
"The target drone uses our hypersonic drone, which is set at a speed of Mach 20. In the past, there was no chance of interception."
He paused, then continued, "However, the flight trajectory of the intercept target this time is constant, so the chances are much greater. It all depends on your super calculations."
Fan Ren nodded. He was very confident in the Xinghai supercomputer.
"The supercomputer has begun to take over the missile's attitude control and is expected to intercept the target in 8 minutes."
Liu Shengzhan's eyes became jealous. As a professional, he was very familiar with the data fed back by the missile on the screen.
With the Xinghai supercomputer connected to the data link, the missile's attitude maintenance and fuel control are much more efficient than before.
It works!
"20 kilometers from the target, interception and collision will be carried out in 1 minute."
Liu Shengzhan's breathing became heavier.
Due to the high speed, the interception moment was difficult to be captured by the camera. Everyone was focusing on the huge radar guidance map on the screen for observation.
"Arrived at the predetermined target track, radar acquisition, radar acquisition failed. Waiting for further feedback from the ground monitoring force."
Fanren laughed.
On the radar, two high-speed moving light spots suddenly disappeared. If there was no problem with the radar, then the interception was successful.
There was complete silence in the command hall until a few minutes later, when the colonel showed excitement on his face after receiving a phone call.
"Reporting to Commander Liu, the ground forces have found the fallen wreckage and intercepted it successfully!"
"Good, beautiful. Continue to monitor the falling space station, just keep this set of operating procedures and wait for the opportunity to launch!"
Fan Ren could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hall became slightly more relaxed because of this news.
He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Liu Shengzhan to the observation room on the second floor.
. Space Command.
Not only Daxia was paying attention to the falling process of the space station, but the instigators were also watching the process in real time.
"Reporting to the commander, a supersonic aircraft has been detected passing through the territory of Daxia. But..." Oro was sitting in the command hall of the headquarters, and his brows furrowed as he listened to the hesitation of the communications officer beside him.
"But what to say? Say it!"
The communications officer heard him shout and said without hesitation: "The hypersonic aircraft has a flight speed of Mach 20, but after 20 minutes of flight, the aircraft target disappeared from our radar at a speed of Mach 20."
After listening to this, Oro pondered for a while, his heart beating fast.
Why was the plan proposed by Mohan adopted? It is because the space station can reach a speed of Mach 20 after re-entering the atmosphere.
And it is precisely at this speed that no force on Earth can currently guarantee 100% interception success.
Moreover, even if the interception is successful, the power caused by one or two high-speed air defense missiles is very limited.
You should know that the main body of the falling space station weighs 10 tons. At a speed of 20 Mach, the kinetic energy brought by light inertia is more than 2000 billion joules.
The possibility of interception is almost 0.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Even if a missile interception test was successful occasionally, so what.
And in the capital of the United States.
Wells had no concentration in his office.
She had already received the news that the space station was falling along the planned path, and she was the one who issued the order.
But now there is less than an hour left until the final moment of impact.
Daxia still hasn't contacted us or made any response.
In recent years, Daxia has developed rapidly, and its high-tech strength has long surpassed that of the United States.
On this planet, the only one that can make her feel afraid is Da Xia.
'boom! '
The office door was pushed open by the secretary. At this moment, the handsome young white man no longer had the handsomeness and charm he had when he was flirting with her in private.
"President, President. The entire Daxia army is on level one alert."
Wells was stunned. Although he had already guessed that this was an inevitable outcome, he still couldn't help but be a little surprised when he actually received the news.
"Have their troops taken any other actions?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then his face relaxed a little.
"It has not been discovered yet. We have only issued a Level 1 alert notice."
"Then why are you panicking? This has been expected. Get out now."
Wells's confident and calm face reappeared and she waved.
She relaxed for the time being and decided not to take any action. At most, she could just come out and issue an apology statement as the president.
There are many examples of spacecraft falling into the atmosphere due to running out of fuel.
It was just bad luck this time that it crashed into their space elevator.
Besides, who told you to build the space elevator so high? The impact point is 200 kilometers above the ground.
Xinghai Space Base Command Hall.
Everyone stared at the big screen with bated breath as the radar captured a high-speed moving target.
Fan Ren stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, and Liu Shengzhan beside him also stood there with a serious expression.
"Order, anti-aircraft missiles ignite immediately!"
The colonel issued the order at the exact time, at a distance of 200 kilometers.
