Rebirth of a technological powerhouse

Chapter 271 Space Test
The entire station was completely destroyed.

Thick smoke billowed into a sea of ​​flames.

Although there are many weapons and equipment in this station, in Cai Jin's eyes, these weapons and equipment are no different from broken copper and iron.

More than a thousand mercenaries and CIA agents were buried here, not even a complete body was left.

In fact, because Cai Jin interfered with information in this area, no news even came out here.

Only after the satellite passes here and sees the sea of ​​fire can it be reconnaissance.

Cai Jin was still angry.

These CIA's shady mice only play tricks and tricks, which is really disgusting.

Cai Jin wished to wipe out all the rats in these stinky gutters.

But he didn't make another move.

If these mice are eradicated, wouldn't the Arab League take advantage of it for nothing.

If this is the case, the weather here is calm, and naturally the weapons will not be easy to sell.

This is an important arms market in the world. The annual arms business can reach almost 6000 billion yuan, which is a considerable business.

I don’t want to be able to do this kind of business forever, but I have to do it for 20 years no matter what!
So, holding back his anger, Cai Jin returned to the Future Technology Group.

America is holding a meeting.

Principal officials are being questioned.

There is no way, the past few years have been too bad, terribly bad, and all parties are making trouble.

Buchan and the others had gloomy faces.

In the past few years, they have made mistakes in everything they do, and they have to accept interrogations every now and then, and they are disgraced.

Counting up and down 250 years, I can't find a session that is more embarrassing than them.

This time, the questioning is even more powerful, it can be said that it is the most powerful in recent years.

This time is even the third impeachment case, and the investigation is the fifth investigation.

Their deadly enemies came with great momentum, and the latest public support rate was as high as 75%, while their support rate was less than 10%.

Their deadly rivals, every speech is full, the mountain is roaring and the tsunami is roaring, and there is a tendency to become a saint.

"Mr. Buchan, tell me why the government spends so much money every year, but the situation doesn't improve any more." A congressman was full of anger.

His family, killed in Norfolk, left him alone.

He hated Buchan and others, and felt that it was their incompetence that caused such a catastrophe to decommission the International Space Station and cost his family members their lives.

Others also expressed their outrage.

In the past few years, everyone has had a hard time.

The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates until now, and has repeatedly broken through the sky, but it has not achieved the expected effect. No matter whether it is short-term or long-term, no one buys U.S. debt. High prices usually mean that everyone's money is constantly depreciating.

The same dollar can obviously buy a lot less things.

Not to mention, the decommissioning of the International Space Station has created a big basket, and the losses have been extremely heavy.

According to the previous US dollar value statistics, the direct loss and indirect loss are nearly ten trillion US dollars.

Not to mention, a lot of money will need to be invested in reconstruction later.

Even now, there is endless debate about whether to rebuild.

Because instead of spending a huge price on construction, it would be more cost-effective to build another city in a farther place.

Anyway, the old and beautiful land is sparsely populated, and there are plenty of places to build another city.

A large number of warships were destroyed, and it was not because of the war, but because of the crash of the International Space Station, which caused the navy's strength to be greatly weakened, so that many places had to be abandoned, resulting in a power vacuum in these places and giving them to others in vain.

The remaining aircraft carriers and warships are simply not enough to maintain vast ocean control.

This is simply a fatal blow for maritime countries.

For a long time, the strength of a maritime country depends on the strength of its navy, because the interests of a maritime country come from the interests of the sea, the safety of routes, and the tolls of routes.
The weakening of the navy means that the maritime countries are weakening.

In terms of geography, in fact, North America or even the entire North America and South America are actually just islands compared to the entire Eurasian plate.

Buchan and others felt overwhelming pressure.

These accusations are like knives piercing their hearts.

There is no doubt that once this huge pot is shouldered, the political life of each of them will come to an end.

Under such circumstances, relatively speaking, the news that a mercenary or a stronghold was destroyed would not cause any disturbance at all, and no one would even pay attention to it.

In this conference, the questions related to all aspects, the transcripts handed over in the past few years are undoubtedly unsatisfactory, and almost none of them are satisfactory.

Even if it was a firefight, it was out of control. In addition to bringing some benefits at the beginning, hundreds of billions of dollars, a large amount of arms, and nearly mercenaries were invested later, but they had to shake hands and make peace. Benefit.

Instead, it was burned by the fire.

This is simply unforgivable, this operation is simply too low!
As for the competition in other fields, the advantages are constantly being lost.

Their advantages in the high-tech field can be said to have disappeared by now, and all the measures taken have failed. Facing technology, any measures are pale and powerless.

NASA has received a lot of funding, but apart from the launch of large launch vehicles and the global selection of astronauts to land on the moon, there are no other achievements.

Not to mention the approval ratings in opinion polls, those in power are dissatisfied and angry with these people.

As a result, in this meeting, there were all kinds of anger and dissatisfaction, but no corresponding measures could be taken.

And news related to this meeting spread all over the world very quickly.

It sparked heated discussions around the world.

The reconstruction of Norfolk has attracted much attention around the world. Everyone wants to know what plan the United States will come up with, but it has embarrassed countless people. After several months, there is not even a decent plan. There is no plan, or at this point, they are still arguing and unable to reach an agreement.

Even, some voices came out that if they want to abandon the entire surrounding area of ​​Norfolk and this place, naturally there is no need to invest a lot of money in governance and reconstruction.

As for the pollution issue, countless people have paid attention to it, but they have never mentioned it.

The whole world has conducted comprehensive research and interpretation on this. Many people have expressed their disappointment with this performance. That lighthouse is gradually falling and collapsing.

And because of the limited funds, no matter how advanced the remote farming technology is, there is a feeling of 'a clever woman can't cook without rice' at this time, which is no longer the hustle and bustle of previous years.

For a while, the entire Internet seemed more peaceful, without so much hostility, and there were not so many confrontations and wars.

Cai Jin didn't pay much attention to those bad things.

When he returned to the company, he immersed himself in scientific research.

A series of robots were created by him.

Even, Cai Jin plans to go to space for testing himself.

On this day, Cai Jin decided to go to space in person to test a large space robotic arm.

Everything is moved into the cargo hold.

Cai Jin wore a mecha and entered the cockpit.

With this mecha, even in the most unfavorable situation, he can rely on this mecha to return to Earth safely.

For aerospace fighters, it should be said that the space shuttle is more appropriate now.

The powerful vertical propeller pushed it up, and then, as if for a moment, a light blue arc lighted up from the rear of the space shuttle, pushing the huge fuselage forward.
It easily disappeared into the darkness, and it didn't take long to enter the clouds.

The speed keeps increasing and the height keeps rising.

The acceleration of electric propulsion is much slower than that of chemical propulsion. If it is a rocket launch, it usually takes about ten minutes from the start of ignition to entering the predetermined orbit.

And this kind of electric propulsion will take several hours.

It seems to be flying obliquely, but if you look at it from observation, it is actually some arcs!
To be honest, the acceleration of this kind of space shuttle is not high. In fact, there is no need for space suits to protect the aircraft.

Not to mention a mecha, but Cai Jin is timid and afraid of death, so wearing a mecha, it is best to be fully prepared to deal with the most unfavorable situation.

For the sake of safety, Cai Jin will wear mechas throughout the process.

This mecha has been optimized and upgraded by Cai Jin several times, and it has reached a very good level. Even in space, he will not receive strong radiation, and strong radiation will be blocked by the mecha.

Moreover, the thrusters of the mecha can allow Cai Jin to return to Earth safely.

Even supporting Cai Jin to go to the moon is not a problem.

For example, in an emergency and he cannot return to the earth temporarily, then he can go to the scientific research station on the moon.

After reaching the airspace at an altitude of 20 kilometers, the engine output power of the space shuttle gradually increased, and at the same time, the nose of the space shuttle also began to rise significantly, and began to gallop towards outer space along a trajectory tangential to the earth
Looking at the receding planet outside the window, Cai Jin's pupils slightly enlarged with a shocking expression.The azure sea and thick clouds gathered together, and the player's lights were like stars in the cold night, connecting with the morning glow on the edge of the horizon.

It took him a while to digest the shock in his heart, and then he sighed softly: "...Only standing here can you feel the fact that the earth is round most intuitively."

In fact, the earth is not a sphere strictly speaking, it is more appropriate to say that it is an ellipse.

The equatorial radius of the earth is 6378.137 kilometers, the polar radius is 6356.752 kilometers, the average radius is about 6371 kilometers, and the equatorial circumference is about 40076 kilometers.

Just to the naked eye, the earth is a sphere!

At this time, the space shuttle has broken through the 100-kilometer limit, and soon reached an altitude of 160 kilometers. This is also the lowest altitude that can orbit the earth-a 160-kilometer orbit.

At this point, although the exosphere has not yet left, the air resistance has been so weak that it can be ignored.

Arriving here can also be said to have successfully entered orbit.

At this point, in a state of weightlessness.

Cai Jin unbuckled his seat belt, floated to the porthole, and saw the boundless space in the distance at a glance, the vast and boundless space.

Turning his head and looking to the other side, a huge blue planet appeared in his field of vision.

"Earth!" Cai Jin couldn't help holding his breath.

So, so beautiful!

Although this scene is often seen on the Internet and on TV, and even his space shuttle has photographed the earth in space countless times, but when he actually left the earth on the space shuttle and saw it with his own eyes, the shocking feeling touched the soul.

The blue planet is constantly shrinking!

The distance between the space shuttle and the blue planet is getting farther and farther.

"Earth, the sun!" Cai Jin looked behind the earth, and in the distance, there was a planet like a burning flame - the sun!
The space shuttle is stable in a space orbit of 400 kilometers.

"Start working!" Cai Jin knew that it was time to work.

Then, the hatch was opened, and various types of space robots were tested first.

The space robots are initially tested in-vehicle and then out-of-vehicle.

With the data accumulated by the previous space maintenance robot, the space test of the robot went very smoothly.

It took only a few hours before and after, and it was completed.

In terms of performance, it performed quite well.

People in space, in a state of weightlessness, cannot compare with those on earth. No matter how much you train, this aspect will eventually be greatly affected.

But robots are different. These robots are not affected by weightlessness and can operate autonomously or under the control of astronauts.

"The next step is the large space robotic arm!" Cai Jin started to work on the large space robotic arm.

This large space mechanical arm doesn't look long, but that's because it is contracted. Once extended, the arm length will reach an astonishing meters!

This length is quite extended.

And the arm strength will reach an astonishing 100 tons!
Releasing satellites and capturing satellites are overkill for this large space robotic arm.

"Space is really dangerous. In addition to strong radiation, those meteorites, micro-celestial bodies, and space junk are all great threats!" Cai Jin secretly said.

If the earth is used as the reference system, in this earth orbit, the speed is quite fast.

No matter how small an object is, it can cause huge damage.

Space debris or asteroids as small as 10 centimeters can pose a deadly threat.

The larger the aircraft, the greater the probability of encountering threats. The defense of these space debris, asteroids, and meteorites requires more attention.

Like the current Chinese space station, the early warning range reaches 5 kilometers above and below the orbit of the space station, and 100 kilometers before and after the orbit of the space station. Once a threat target is found, the space station will either switch orbit to avoid it, or use robots to sweep the target.

In the past, people did not pay much attention to space junk, but with the development of spaceflight, the threat of space junk to human spaceflight has shown exponential growth.

Whoever has stronger preventive capabilities will be safer in space.

Like China's "large-scale strategic aerospace airborne platform", some countries do not take it seriously because they believe that as long as they master advanced anti-satellite technology, then this is actually no different from a target and can be easily destroyed.

Shield and spear have always been relative, and there is no one-size-fits-all.
