Chapter 854 Simulating satellite offensive and defensive performance

Yang Chen quickly stepped forward to take a look at the finished artificial satellite.

This is an artificial satellite rewarded by the system that exceeds the previous generation technology by several generations. It is a super artificial satellite that integrates multiple functions and can both defend and attack.

According to the system introduction, this kind of satellite uses the solar power generation technology rewarded by the previous system, which can theoretically ensure that it will continue to operate in orbit forever.

However, in actual operation, parts and systems will definitely have problems over time, and new satellites must be replaced to meet actual needs.

The reason why Yang Chen came here specifically was to see if the artificial satellite had been produced.

These satellites are weapons that Yang Chen uses to teach Tesla a lesson. He uses the offensive power of satellites to destroy the low-cost satellites of the Starlink project, restore purity to space, and bring peace to all mankind and the earth.

Listening to Zhang Baoguo's introduction, Yang Chen nodded very pleased and said, "Can it simulate the actual use effect now? I want to see it."

Zhang Baoguo nodded and replied with a smile: 'Of course. Director Yang, please invite me here. I will ask them to simulate it now to show you the effect. ’

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and followed Zhang Baoguo to the computer.

The engineer responsible for operating the computer quickly ran the software from scratch to simulate the working scenario of the satellite in space.

Such as taking photos, retracting solar panels, telescopic robotic arms and other operations.

Among them, the telescopic robotic arm is its aggressiveness.

Don't underestimate these two robotic arms. As long as instructions are given through the system on the ground, they can attack any object in space.

Imagine that Yang Chen's artificial satellite encountered the low-cost satellite of the Starlink project. Yang Chen's artificial satellite stretched out two robotic arms to dismantle the satellite of the Starlink project. What would it be like?

Yang Chen immediately ordered: "Show me a process of dismantling other satellites."

The operator nodded and immediately simulated the process of the YC00001 satellite tearing apart other satellites.

Satellite YC00001 uses the solar power generation technology of Runhai Photovoltaics and is equipped with newly invented batteries from the battery factory under Yang Chen's name. Both technologies were awarded to Yang Chen by the system and lead the current generations of human technologies.

The four batteries that come with the satellite will be fully charged through solar power generation, which can meet the normal consumption of the satellite and provide power for orbit changes at critical moments.

In addition, the satellite also carries up to 500 kilograms of hydrazine fuel.

What does so much fuel mean?

Even if there is no solar power to provide electricity, these fuels are enough to maintain normal operation of the satellite for 20 years.

These fuels are not usually used, and may only be used when forced orbit changes are required to provide power in a short period of time.

Because normal track repair only needs to use the power provided by its own solar battery, no fuel is needed.

Fuel is only needed to provide explosive power when forced orbit changes are required in a short period of time, or even when chasing a target over a short distance.

But no matter what, there is absolutely no problem for the YC00001 satellite to work normally in space for 30 years.

Unless Yang Chen feels that the technology of the YC00001 satellite is too backward and needs to be recycled and replaced with a more advanced satellite, it can leave space.

In the picture, the YC00001 satellite was operating normally, and an unknown satellite appeared next to it.

The operator issued an interference signal instruction to the YC00001 satellite, and the satellite would automatically interfere with the signal of the target satellite and block the connection between the target and the ground.

The purpose of this is to prevent the ground from knowing who destroyed their satellite next.

Even if they guessed that the YC00001 satellite was responsible, there is no evidence.

In the second step, the operator issues an orbit change command to the YC00001 satellite.

The satellite immediately changed its orbit using its own electric power + the power provided by hydrazine fuel and pursued it for a certain distance to approach the target satellite.

At this time, the two satellites are in the same orbit, within the reach of the robotic arm, and they are in a relatively stationary state because they have the same speed.

Then the operator gave the order, and the YC00001 satellite extended its robotic arm and cut off the solar panel of the target satellite. Then the equipment for receiving signals and taking pictures of the target satellite was also removed.

After completing the attack, the robotic arm retracts and returns to its original position for normal operation.

At this time, the signal interference device is turned off and everything returns to normal.

However, the target satellite fell apart and gradually deviated from its orbit due to loss of power support.

The entire attack process takes less than a minute to complete, at the cost of consuming the hydrazine fuel that comes with the YC00001 satellite, which is equivalent to shortening its original normal operation life.

Therefore, unless it is necessary to do so, Yang Chen does not want to take the initiative to attack other people's satellites.

After all, the total cost of launching a YC00001 satellite into space would exceed 100 million meters of gold.

The total investment in the Starlink project reaches 30 billion meters, but it requires launching 42,000 satellites into space. The average total cost of each satellite from research and development to launch is only more than 700,000 US dollars.

Could this be a satellite?

It's just a pile of scrap metal.

Normal people can imagine that the so-called Starlink project is just to seize low-Earth orbit, not really to provide so-called free calls and Internet access.

What if a satellite with such a high cost is attacked by others?

Don't worry, satellites also have built-in defense capabilities.

The first is its own signal jamming device. Since it is a system-rewarded technology, it has led the current world level for many generations. As long as the signal jamming device is turned on, no signal will pass through within 10 kilometers around it.

So, if someone wanted to attack the YC00001 satellite, they would not be able to select the target in the first place.

Unless they directly release nuclear weapons to attack indiscriminately in space, covering the possible location of the YC00001 satellite with a broad strike surface.

But no one would be stupid enough to use a weapon of this level to attack a satellite, right?

Secondly, the satellite has its own early warning function.

If another "celestial body" approaches within 10 kilometers, the satellite will automatically send an alert to the ground.

Ground staff can react at their own discretion.

If it is discovered that there is a possibility of a collision between an "unknown celestial body" and the YC00001 satellite, the operator can issue an emergency orbit change command to avoid the possible collision.

Finally, it is also the ultimate self-protection method for YC00001, which is to release micro-satellites to actively meet the target's attack.

Satellite YC000001 is equipped with four micro-satellites. These micro-satellites are usually responsible for assisting in weather forecasting and other functions.

If there is really no way to hide the main body, some functions can be abandoned and the micro-satellites can be released to suicidally protect the main satellite and directly collide with the target.

You must know that everything in space is moving, and even a bird can destroy an aircraft in the event of a head-on collision.

So, don’t underestimate this tiny micro, it can really play a big role when necessary.

After seeing the performance on both offense and defense, Yang Chen was very satisfied with the YC00001 satellite.

Yang Chen quickly asked: "Mr. Zhang, how many pills do we have now?"

Zhang Baoguo quickly replied: "Currently, YC00001 has been tested many times and can definitely be launched safely. YC00002 has already rolled off the production line and is about to enter the testing phase. The production of YC00003 is nearing completion, YC00004 has been officially put into production, and YC00005 has already It has passed the review and is ready to be put into production. YC00006 is now on the schedule and ready."

Yang Chen smiled with great satisfaction, what he wanted was this efficiency and rhythm of doing things.

At this time, Zhang Baoguo came up with a bolder idea.

If we can add laser weapons to satellites, we can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

Since there is no medium in space, ordinary weapons cannot be used.

At present, the weapons generally recognized internationally are laser and electromagnetic weapons.

Of course, laser weapons are the best. The speed of light is fast enough, there is almost no delay, and it is not interfered with. It propagates in a straight line and hits wherever you point it.

If laser weapons can really be installed on satellites, Yang Chen's dominance of space will be just around the corner.
