Chapter 490 Security-Explanation
Code name, Nantianmen!
As soon as the name "Space City" attached to the space elevator came out, it immediately caused an uproar!
Another oriental name!
Considering that Master Yi himself has a very close relationship with Umbrella and is an extremely key figure, plus the cooperation between a large country and Umbrella, it is normal for such a name to appear.
After all, there are Western names like "Tracker" and "Sweeper" in front of it, and Umbrella itself is the same, so there is no other doubt.
And when various popular science and explanations about Nantianmen appeared, it was discovered that the arrangement of the name was quite in place!
The gate to heaven?
Indeed!
From now on, the space elevator will be the bridgehead for space exploration!
The construction speed of the first phase of the space elevator's synchronous orbit was completely beyond expectations.
Although all aspects have shown that when the gravity-free environment is relatively static, as long as the delivery is in place, the splicing is very fast.
The mass projector does not live up to expectations, and Umbrella's own module storage is sufficient.
But...
The most powerful orbital building in the history of human aviation was completed in such a short period of time, which still makes many people feel like they are dreaming.
"Nantianmen... is really a fortress!"
"Twenty thousand satellites were an exaggeration enough at the beginning, but this time this thing makes people feel like they have traveled through time."
"You remind me of Schuma. When Umbrella was founded, he was injured and fell into a coma. When he woke up, the world's style changed suddenly, including holography, VR, space, zombies, and the abyss. Then he began to doubt life."
"Haha, but he is lucky. He has a wife who loves him and has already started receiving treatment. He has also registered a new account in "Star World". Even if his skill level is not up to par, he is still an absolute ace. In the video of that fleet battle, he transformed into a Gundam and rushed into the fleet, killing seven in and seven out.”
"Good guy, after you reminded me like this, I remembered that "Star World" is not a purely competitive game..."
"I'm thinking about when I can start grabbing travel quotas. I don't want to settle down."
"Wait until the connection is completed..."
"..."
Amidst the many sounds, Umbrella's space elevator 'pendulum' was still moving steadily towards the earth, and the 'rope' pulled out from behind continued to lengthen.
At the same time, Umbrella's official website also switched to a live broadcast view of the pendulum's descent, and began to introduce the connection materials in detail.
"The new carbon fiber material we have developed is a perfect material that is currently combined with magic. All parameters are almost perfect, and even if there is damage, it can be repaired directly with repair fluid."
On one side is the perspective of the pendulum, and on the other side are the structural diagram and repair diagram of the connecting cable.
"After the connection is completed, the middle one of the five connecting cables will be continuously arranged with some maintenance robots to perform patrols and maintenance. At the same time, it will ensure that the connecting cable does not suffer other accidental damage. If one of the cables breaks, it can be safely repaired. Pull up another one with the maintenance orbit robot.”
Then there is the conceptual diagram of the connection between Penglai and Nantianmen.
"The other four connecting cables will become the support for the two space elevators, while transporting materials and tools back and forth."
In the concept map, the structural diagram of two large 'transportation freight elevators' also appears.
The connecting cables pass through the middle of the cargo box. The cargo box climbs directly on the straight high-strength cables, and each cargo elevator relies on two connecting cables to complete the basic fixation.
In addition to fixing the connecting cables that pass through the freight elevator, eight ropes are pulled out from the cargo box and connected to the two connecting cables like the suspension bridge to ensure the stability of the freight elevator.
Pure electric energy consumption, but also can control the output power and lifting speed.
When the specifications and concept drawings of the elevator cargo box appeared, many people who had been staring at it exclaimed.
"So big?"
"100*100*30?"
"Damn it, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is only more than three hundred meters long and less than a hundred meters wide."
"One floor is three meters tall, and 30 meters is 10 stories high!"
“Every time I run a 100-meter track, I feel like I’m going to kill someone.”
"I went to see SX Company's starship plan parameters. The starship is about 120 meters in height and nine meters in diameter. If it is placed diagonally, it can be put directly in without dismantling it, and it can also be stacked."
"Fuck!"
"This is the carrying capacity..."
"Even the mass projector is my younger brother..."
"I didn't feel it in the picture, but I didn't expect such a wide distance."
"..."
As you can see from the concept map, the pendulum will eventually be completely connected to the platform with the core of Penglai's "in" shape with the connecting line!
Utilizes space to the extreme.
Then there were popular science anchors.
"Actually, you have paid less attention to one thing, which is that another advantage of the space elevator compared to the mass projector is that it can also carry people, and it can carry some more sophisticated equipment to space by adjusting the acceleration.
"The resistance of the air is that the faster the speed, the greater the resistance, so the mass projector itself wastes a lot of energy. When Umbrella has enough energy output to support the launch of the mass projector, the operation of the space elevator is naturally no problem. In terms of frequency, I am afraid that the transport state can be maintained continuously. Relatively speaking, the need to power up the track is much lower than that of the mass projector.
"However, it should be noted that the center of Nantianmen itself must be stable near the synchronous orbit. If the mass of the transported goods is too heavy, the speed will also be reduced, and Nantianmen itself may also need to be adjusted to move upward..."
Various sounds, various exclamations.
Obviously the 'pendulum' has just reached the edge of the atmosphere, but many people have already begun to imagine the future online.
"But is it safe to put the track here? Will a plane accidentally hit it?"
"No civil aviation passes here, and didn't Umbrella say there will be maintenance robots on the middle one, and it may even carry a weapon system, which is above Penglai's head..."
"But there's nothing the satellite can do, right? The synchronous orbit is relatively stationary relative to the base on the ground because of its height and calculation formula, but satellites in low-Earth orbit have to orbit the earth more than ten times a day to ensure that they don't fall."
"Yeah, don't look at the Nantianmen itself is relatively stationary, and the modules seemed to be motionless during construction, but they also have a speed of 3 kilometers per second and are synchronized with the earth's rotation. Low-Earth orbit satellites usually have a speed of 8 kilometers per second. ”
"If there really was a collision, the speed and destruction would be simply terrifying."
"..."
When the topic turned to track safety, many people calmed down.
In fact, this topic has been mentioned in the past few days, but it has not been 'released' at that time, but now it is before our eyes.
However, Umbrella’s official website also responded accordingly at this time.
"Currently, our company owns the largest number of low-Earth orbit satellites. After our long-term calculations, we have found that there are currently no satellite orbits operating at the connection location. In fact, the spatial location of low-Earth orbit is quite vast. Our company's elevator orbit is not eye-catching. The probability is extremely low..."
At this time, a group of people in a satellite control tower also saw Umbrella's announcement.
Many people also had a subtle smile on their faces.
"Yes, the probability of collision is extremely low."
"But after special calculations, an uncontrolled scrapped satellite accidentally hit us, so we can't be blamed."
"Everyone has the right to use the space environment!"
"The technical difficulty of making a satellite hit a connecting cable is still very high."
"Thanks to their communication technology between satellites, the probability has increased a lot."
"Let's begin..."
With the control of this satellite console and after rigorous calculations, several satellites in space that were about to be scrapped slightly changed their orbits and began to adjust continuously!
Collision is difficult, but it doesn’t matter. A satellite can make more than ten turns every day, and each turn is adjusted according to the error. Sooner or later, it will be able to collide...
Chapter 668
Umbrella has 20,000 satellites in the sky, and its monitoring capabilities are naturally strong enough.
It may not be discovered immediately in the short term.
But when the first satellite quickly passed through the orbital area and passed by more than 30 kilometers away, it immediately captured the trace.
Then Umbrella officials issued another announcement
"It was previously discovered that two beautiful weather satellites and a mineral satellite deviated from the orbit and passed 32 kilometers within the orbital area at the closest distance. Is this an intentional act on your part?"
Directly hit her face directly in front of her!
This caused the public opinion that had been at the forefront to explode instantly.
"I just said there might be a problem before, but the result happened immediately?"
"Isn't it? Is this intentional by Da Meili?"
"Space is not yours. If you create such an orbital area, others will blame you for crashing other people's satellites."
"Didn't you say there was a response? How to deal with it?"
"What else can we do? Of course we can just blow their satellites down. Have we forgotten the 'accidental collision' when 20,000 satellites were launched? Umbrella even 'lost money'."
< br>
"Haha, I remembered it as soon as you said that!"
"Yes, Umbrella is not afraid of these..."
"Brothers, if the satellite is destroyed, there will be debris. Then won't the large number of debris increase the probability of a strike?"
"It seems so..."
"..."
And while everyone is paying attention, many people are still making different voices and discussing it.
Dameili also seemed to have discovered the problem "behind the scenes".
NASA held a public press conference to explain specifically.
"This is definitely not our intention. We have always supported the Nantianmen project. This is the bridgehead against alien visitors, so it is impossible to do this!"
Then a reporter asked a NASA spokesperson.
"Then how do you explain these satellites?"
The NASA spokesperson who had been prepared sighed and said
"These satellites are originally old satellites, their orbits are already unstable, and they often undergo slight changes, and we are no longer able to adjust them."
The NASA spokesperson sounded a little regretful.
Then immediately a reporter from Neon Sankei Shimbun asked
"Then since you can't solve the problem, do you agree with Umbrella to shoot it down directly to protect its own orbit?"
This question can be said to be very sharp.
Now Neon is almost completely siding with Umbrella, and Neon's attitude can be clearly felt even if there are beautiful troops stationed above.
Here in the beautiful House of Commons, there are some idiotic MPs raising some compensation issues every day!
Neon can also smell crisis.
After being so beautiful, I still want to eat meat!
In this situation, when faced with two eldest fathers, Umbrella would naturally be chosen.
"No, absolutely not! Although the satellite is no longer controllable and the propellant is exhausted, it is still our sacred and inviolable property and is still working!"
He made a strong statement at first, but then he slowed down a little
"Space is actually very vast. Isn't it still a few dozen kilometers away? According to the new rules we formulated before, accidental collisions in space will be borne by both parties involved. This is a regrettable accident."
The new rules mentioned by the spokesperson were proposed during the emergency consultation to limit the number of satellites when the Umbrella mass projector was first launched.
"Umbrella proposed it at the beginning. After all, they had too many satellites at that time. This was actually beneficial to them and they agreed to it. Now, we can only pray that we will not be so unlucky. Okay..."
It can be said that the spokesperson of NASA was using Umbrella's own words to block their mouths. Although he expressed regret, there was still a smile on his lips.
After the press conference was broadcast, it also caused an uproar.
"Out of control? But still working?"
"No, it's too obvious."
"It was an accident that one came close, but how can you say that several came close?"
"Although it is more than thirty kilometers apart, at the scale of space, this is no longer safe."
"But this was Umbrella's original suggestion, and they relied on the launch speed to get everyone to nod."
"This..."
"Umbrella's space elevator project should have been prepared very early. Why didn't I think of this?"
"Hey, I really can only pray this time, there is no other way."
"Shoot yourself in the foot."
"..."
Under all these voices, Umbrella did not specifically accuse the beauty.
It just keeps announcing new orbit changes of those satellites.
The connecting cable to the space elevator gets closer every time it passes.
At this time, according to the approximate position of the pendulum, although the gravity pendulum has entered the atmosphere and is still falling slowly, the line behind it is hanging there!
"Damn it, this is directly above Penglai!"
"Now it's just hanging by that pull. If the track breaks, Penglai will be hurt if it hits it from this height, right?"
"Suddenly I felt a little bored."
"Yeah, there's a high probability that Da Meili did it on purpose, but there's nothing we can do about it, hey."
"Are beautiful girls so unpopular? Why do they blame them whenever something bad happens?"
"Because they are really like that..."
"..."
The live broadcast of the Umbrella track connection project, which was originally going well, now had a vague feeling of a happy event turning into a funeral.
An invisible cloud hangs over the entire Blue Star!
Many overseas bases in Damei are taking action frequently and are undergoing some adjustments.
At the same time, it also directly announced the test launch of the nuclear submarine's Trident to test the missile performance.
Normal detection test, hope not to misread it!
If it weren't for the old Morgan to forcefully use his influence to make an appearance at the organization's meeting, and then start to leverage the big beauty.
At present, I really won’t conduct such an ‘excessive test’.
The space elevator is definitely an extremely important project for Umbrella, and the gravity pendulum may also threaten Penglai.
If this is not controlled well, a full-scale conflict may break out!
But old Morgan had already hooked up with Enzo, and some of his preparations and ideas were completely different, and his methods were much more radical.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as Wang Yi provoking himself...
Then the Umbrella official website updated again
"It is already expected that a satellite will collide with the orbit next time. If it is later discovered that this incident was deliberately done by someone, then we will take drastic measures!"
Umbrella's speech also made the beauty who had been actively preparing feel a little solemn and confused.
A group of people gathered in a safe house and someone said strangely
"They really didn't take the initiative to take down our satellite?"
"When did Umbrella become so obedient?"
"This..., it won't really crash down, right? The scene might end badly."
Whether it is for the organization or for most of the beautiful people, this time is just a 'test', and they are not like old Morgan.
Therefore, the initial expectation was that Umbrella would take the lead in knocking down the satellite regardless of Big Beauty's warnings and dissuasion.
In this way, subsequent problems with satellite debris will not be blamed on them.
In turn, they can also occupy the moral high ground and have an inherent advantage in public opinion.
It's you who hit our satellite!
But now...
Why don't they seem ready to fight?
Can't tell which one is more important?
"This? Don't they really want to have a full-scale collision with us?"
"No way? They have always been very sensible!"
"Are you betting that we will adjust in the end?"
"Here, how about adjusting it?"
"Please, this is really a satellite that is about to be scrapped. The pusher has been used so far and there is nothing left. It really can't be changed..."
The beautiful team that was originally full of confidence and ready to occupy the high point suddenly seemed to be in a difficult situation.
Even many people in the organization felt a little confused.
This seems to be somewhat different from the plan...
Chapter 669: Confession
"Umbrella isn't going to knock down the satellite?"
"No, don't lose big for small things?"
"Is it difficult to hit directly because of temporary capture?"
"The out-of-control satellite is now undergoing orbital changes, which is difficult to predict..."
"Made, you damn beauty!"
"Yeah, aliens are coming to the door and you're still fighting among yourself?"
"This is the bridgehead against aliens!"
"..."
As time went by, as Umbrella said that the satellite was about to impact, there were also voices of criticism against Big Beauty from various quarters!
If some things didn't happen, it would be easy to say, but if it happened and caused serious consequences, it would be different!
In fact, don't look at the beautiful girls themselves who have always been arrogant and arrogant, but in fact, every step they take is carefully considered, and arrogance is also a manifestation.
But when you need to be timid at critical moments, you will be very timid.
The provocations that have always been made will be measured and tested little by little, and at the same time, they will be comforted.
This time it is actually the same. Our satellite is going to hit you, but we will not allow you to hit our satellite.
But 'not allowed' is just a word, just to occupy morality!
When the time comes when you really fight, it will be a conflict as big as Umbrella destroying a big beautiful satellite.
We had already shot down one before, but the matter was completely controllable whether it was a big deal or a small matter.
Moreover, the scale, timing, and circumstances of the conflict are all in Da Mei's own hands.
It is equivalent to obtaining a weak claim.
When the time comes, take the initiative and seize the opportunity!
But now...
If Temo Umbrella doesn't fight, his claws will be numb.
Now it has directly become that the beautiful satellite has deviated from its orbit and crashed into the cableway of the space elevator. If the fall of the gravity pendulum also caused damage to Penglai, then Umbrella may not have any problem in starting a full-scale war with the beautiful satellite.
Generally speaking, Big Beauty has the advantage of size, but Umbrella also has the ability to lift tables. At that level of intensity, there is no winner!
This actually made the beauty start to sit on the wax. In a panic, she started to ignore the NASA spokesperson and directly let the spokesperson of the authorities speak
"Considering the subsequent harm, Umbrella can destroy it under appropriate circumstances, but it must compensate the cost of our satellite."
The beautiful authorities directly slapped NASA in the face, but this change is also a bit funny.
Many people who watched were confused, and it was obvious that they could see the inner cowardice of the beautiful woman from this "forced compensation".
Da Meili doesn’t want to expand the scope of the conflict!
But obviously at this time, it's not them who have the final say.
It is unjustifiable in all aspects to do such a thing now when the alien threat is about to arrive.
Even Gaul made some strange condemnations.
In fact, the hatred between Gaul and Umbrella is even greater, but precisely because of that time after being defeated, he also gave in a lot for Umbrella, and it was normal to speak for Umbrella at some non-critical moments.
Looking at the beauty's contradictory behavior on the Internet, there are also various comments that are funny.
"Is Da Piao a coward?"
"Good guy, even Maple Leaf and Britain didn't speak for them. This time they have made people angry."
"A threat that can span the stars is about to arrive from outside. At this time, there is internal strife. Even the strongest allies will see clearly."
"I think through their beautiful speech, they may have initially wanted to force Umbrella to attack their own satellites, and in turn occupy the moral high ground. If they want to get Umbrella, they will really stop fighting!"
"Yeah, I'm surprised too. Is it true that I can't catch it when I change the track?"
"Hey, I really hope everything is okay..."
"..."
However, just when everyone seemed to be filled with indignation and accumulating anger, Umbrella's live broadcast camera also completed a burst of switching.
A track image of their connecting cable appeared.
From the picture, you can see several ‘cables’ connecting directly to the sky from the blue planet in the background.
The physical perspective of looking down gives people a sense of shock that far exceeds that of conceptual drawings.
This 'cable' will directly connect Penglai and Nantianmen!
Thirty-five thousand kilometers!
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the cable, and a large number of debris and fire flashed away!
In response, Umbrella's official website also silently performed the super slow playback of the previous footage again.
Using Umbrella's terrifying lens technology, after slowing down, you can see that a satellite is spinning and hitting one of the 'cables'.
Then, at a speed of several kilometers per second, it was instantly cut into two pieces by the 'cable'!
The friction sparks and sputtered debris during the cut formed the previous fire!
This sudden change immediately caused an uproar!
"Unharmed at a speed of several kilometers per second?!"
"What the hell kind of intensity is this!"
"Damn it! Bunker!"
"No wonder Umbrella's speech is so gentle, and the same is true for flights. They are not worried about feelings at all!"
"The plane hit and the plane was cut into two sections, right?"
"..."
It's not just the Internet that's getting emotional.
Some institutions and researchers who had been paying attention to the beautiful place also stood up in horror
"What!"
"Impossible! What the hell is this?"
"It's very difficult to stabilize. It should be like a tight rubber band! How can you be okay in the face of such an impact?"
"It turned out badly, I'd rather have knocked the thing off."
"..."
Faced with this situation, Da Meili also felt a deep pressure.
Originally supporting Umbrella's space elevator plan, in addition to the close alien visitors, another reason is that the position of the space elevator in synchronous orbit is almost fixed!
And so is the track itself, which will become Umbrella's weakness!
In the past, Umbrella was able to be strong because it could not grasp its weak points. The company's size was quite streamlined and there were few areas that needed to be defended.
The extra space elevator can be used as a threat from time to time.
This satellite change of orbit was actually a test. Originally, Umbrella was asked to shoot it down, which was equivalent to warning them to be careful in the future!
But now, people just let your satellite collide with it, and nothing will happen!
This means that all their original plans were ruined, and in turn, a lie was given to the other party!
What a cheat!
Now another excuse has been found, and the other party has not suffered any losses!
If it really knocks down the pendulum and the track, and then destroys Penglai, then it will be a complete confrontation.
Although it was quite different from the plan and it was like chasing a duck to land, the result was not completely unacceptable.
At least they had the upper hand, but they suffered heavy losses.
When the critical moment comes, you have to fight hard, even if you are beautiful, you are not afraid!
At least we were not wronged.
But now, I have bumped into each other again and again, and my excuse has been lost. The other party has found an excuse and has not suffered any losses.
This is ridiculous...
"They did it on purpose!"
Just when the beautiful group of people showed their faces of wanting to be stabbed, Umbrella finally spoke slowly.
A structural diagram was sent out, which was an animated picture of the space elevator track, and then it was painted red near the impact location and the sound channel was synchronized
"Our orbit was hit by a big and beautiful satellite and was damaged. We must give an explanation for this matter..."

Update completed...
I closed another chapter from the past few days. I searched for a long time and couldn’t find Hua Dian. I was about to have a neurasthenia...
I must have been frightened by the outspoken idiot a few days ago and have become more cautious. I am probably worried about the real business war, but I am really a loyal minister, 嘤嘤~
When this wave is over, we can develop the abyss, other worlds and starry sky as soon as possible. I'm scared...
The collision between the low- and mid-level magic world and modern firepower should still have its own merits. I can win by pressing mushrooms...
