Instantly, the spacecraft, like an old car that had been kicked, flew into space, making a big splash and saving face!

The spacecraft ascended higher and higher... higher and higher... Under the astonished gaze of people around the world, it broke through the atmosphere and flew towards the other side of the starry sky.

India succeeded; at least they successfully flew out of the atmosphere!

According to orbital predictions, after the Indian spacecraft consumes its light, liquid oxygen, and kerosene fuel, it will become space debris floating in space... Without the working propellant to provide thrust, the spacecraft will have no chance of re-entering the atmosphere, and the astronauts will be trapped inside. However, before that, the astronauts will probably commit suicide in despair.

"By the Immortal God above, please think of a solution!"

The astronaut's curry-accented English came through the communication channel; he knew very well what was going to happen to him.

After realizing the situation was out of control, the people at Hindustan Space Corporation shrugged: This isn't our fault!

After shifting the blame, they comforted the astronauts, assuring them that India's space program would do everything in its power to rescue them.

Statistics revealed that... even the fastest usable rocket would take a month, and India's rockets would not be able to bring people back.

Almost immediately, the rabbit asked tactfully: "Do you need our help?" Out of humanitarian considerations, we can help!

Now, India is in trouble! Rabbit, are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?!

Half an hour later, the Indian government issued a statement saying that the launch failure was due to a problem with the screws manufactured by China, and that China should take responsibility for the incident.

The rabbit immediately retorted, "We have not exported any aerospace-grade screws to India!"

Good grief, I offered humanitarian aid with good intentions, but India actually tried to extort me. Oh well, it's not like a rabbit is stuck in the sky anyway, so I'll just ignore it!

An hour later, Lao Xian and the opposition started arguing, and it seemed that everyone was intentionally or unintentionally downplaying the existence of the astronauts.

Two hours later, at UNSC headquarters, almost everyone felt their heads were spinning after seeing the observation data.

"My dear King...we're in trouble!"

"What happened?" Trump appeared on screen wearing pajamas and a nightcap.

"Giant space debris launched by India could collide with our satellites, and there's a good chance it will be more than one..."

"Mazefak!"

Trump immediately swore. The US was just enjoying the excitement in India, but unexpectedly, disaster struck them in the blink of an eye.

"Can we shoot it down?"

"My King...this violates international law!"

"It's okay, India can't possibly shoot down our satellite anyway. If the satellite is destroyed, the loss will be deducted from NASA's budget next year."

Upon hearing that funding would be cut, the NASA official immediately shut up. He was joking, because if funding was cut today, he would be fired tomorrow, and his family still needed to eat!

Satellites aren't cheap, and besides, the US is a global superpower. While adhering to international law, I want to abide by the rules of the game. If you don't have the equivalent countermeasures when the rules aren't followed, then sorry, we'll shoot down the satellite.

Can India really declare war on the US? Besides, this isn't the first time the US has done something like this that doesn't follow the rules; they're quite adept at it.

"Recently, China has been stealing the spotlight a bit. It's time to let the world see our strength and let us be great again!"

The order was quickly issued, and the US began preparations.

The military-industrial complex has pulled out all the stops. If they successfully shoot down the satellite, whether it can be used in actual combat is another matter, but the promise is there. As for whether it can be put into service... that depends on the funding!

With ample funding, China could even build a kilometer-level space station. It's all just empty talk; they can just modify the data, it's not like they've done it before!

Keyword: Funding!

In response to the rapid action of the United States, ground-based anti-satellite weapons were launched.

India's spacecraft has lost power. If the US can't intercept space debris in fixed orbits, it might as well just dig a hole and bury it.

Chapter 340 Operation Begins (1/10)

On a quiet, unknown morning, an Indian spacecraft transformed into a dazzling firework, disappearing into the spectacular display.

As if it had never happened before, what the US did not expect was that even after destroying the super-sized space debris, the debris also affected Starlink, causing varying degrees of damage to several satellites.

Meanwhile, the rabbit's heavenly palace also welcomed a new type of large toy.

In response to the increasing amount of space debris in the universe, China has deployed new laser weapons to Tiangong.

With the in-depth application of grating stones, new radio frequency crystals have been developed. After all, with controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductors, energy is sufficient, so the power of lasers must also be enhanced.

The wavelength becomes shorter and shorter, and the energy increases.

From the initial 600-nanometer red laser and the 300-nanometer ultraviolet laser, the plan is now to deploy an ultra-high-energy X-ray laser of 0.1 nanometers on Tiangong, and in the future, a gamma-ray laser may be deployed on Tiangong.

"Ultraviolet laser, over 300 nanometers...tsk tsk..."

In the control room of the space station, the person in charge of the space station smirked. "Let's see who dares to cause trouble now." The power of the laser was getting stronger and stronger, and the rabbit finally felt a little safer.

At the same time, CNSC released the "White Paper on Space Development," welcoming countries that wish to cooperate to participate in space development and jointly create a better universe for love and peace.

Furthermore, the supplementary clauses state that CNSC's kilometer-class space station, Tiangong, is equipped with self-defense laser ablation devices, primarily intended to intercept incoming meteorites or space debris and protect the lives and property of personnel on space.

The space station will vaporize any "unidentified object" that is in its impact orbit. Countries launching satellites in the future should pay close attention to this to avoid any unpleasant incidents.

This time, we rabbits arrived first!

--------------------------------------

"The weather is nice today..."

Standing in the room, Zhou Mingrui looked out at the bustling port. Returning to the Xirang Base gave him a sense of profound change...

After four years of continuous construction, the Xirang Base is completely different from what it was at the beginning; it has been transformed into a "fortress."

Given the potential for a huge threat in the abyss, it's impossible for the rabbit to remain unprepared.

With continuous expansion, the Xirang Base has grown several times larger than before, and is now a fully militarized forward base.

The fusion power plant provides an inexhaustible supply of electricity to the entire Xirang base, with the surplus power used for seawater desalination.

Below the permanent bunkers are various types of missile silos, as well as land-based electromagnetic railgun systems, Phalanx CIWS... The garrison is on 24-hour combat readiness duty.

Two days ago, Pengkun-1, having completed its resupply, took off and departed from port, cruising at an altitude of 10,000 meters, becoming the eyes and ears of the Xirang base.

After a week of preparations, the second scientific expedition fleet set sail from the port.

Amidst the sound of ship horns, three Type 055L destroyers departed port one after another, followed by a Type 054L frigate, a replenishment ship, and finally a research vessel.

The Type 039 blackfish left port a day earlier than planned.

Putting everything else aside, the fleet at the Xirang base alone could easily crush the Kangaroo Kingdom, since every warship there has sunk at least one sea monster.

The fleet departed port one after another and sailed into the deep sea...

"Adjust the escort formation..."

The fleet quickly adjusted its formation, with the Type 054L corvettes and three Type 055L destroyers forming an inverted triangle shape, protecting the research vessel and semi-submersible vessel in the safest position in the center of the triangle.

The Type 054L corvette serves as the outermost barrier, in addition to the Type 039 corvettes underwater for anti-submarine warfare.

In the modern command center of Pengkun-1, the combat support team began to coordinate and command, and the fleet's movements were displayed in real time on the electronic sand table.

This operation can be described as the largest joint maritime operation ever undertaken by the Navy.

Thump~ thump~

The Type 039 conventional submarine, which departed a day early, was listening for any unusual sounds underwater, and its torpedo tubes were ready to fire 533mm heavy anti-submarine torpedoes at any time.

"Survate to periscope depth!"

Following the captain's command, the Type 039 conventional-powered submarine slowly surfaced. After reaching periscope depth, the periscope was raised, and the captain leaned against it to observe the state of the sea surface.

After looking around, no abnormalities were found on the water surface.

"Captain, we have received instructions from higher command that the fleet has set sail and is expected to rendezvous at noon tomorrow in the outer perimeter of the explored deep-sea area."

The 039 was sent out as a scout to first ascertain the situation in the designated sea area. After the fleet rendezvoused, they would then enter the unexplored sea area together to conduct a scientific expedition with military escort.

The submarines do not operate alone; the Pengkun, which patrols at an altitude of 10,000 meters, is their solid support. If any problems arise, the Pengkun will provide immediate assistance.

"Hmm...where are the other boats located?"

Upon hearing this, the first mate immediately began calculating on the nautical chart.

"Number 1, bearing 060, approximately 3 nautical miles from us; Number 2, bearing 150, approximately 2 nautical miles from us..."

For safety reasons, the Type 039 conventional-powered submarines are exploring in groups to facilitate mutual support.

Meanwhile, the sonar officer of the forward-deployed No. 1 submarine frowned, listening intently to the sounds from the seabed. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he kept sensing that there were unusual noises.

"Captain, there's an unusual noise at bearing 010, and the signal source is unstable..."

The captain of submarine #1 stepped forward, picked up the sonar, and listened. Although he didn't hear anything, out of trust in the sonar officer and caution about the unknown location, he gave the order.

"Immediately notify the other vessels."

......

"Captain, 1 has sent a message: Unidentified sound source detected, signal unstable, currently tracking..."

"Message sent to Pengkun... All personnel, Level 1 combat readiness, dive!"

Without hesitation, the captain issued the combat order. This is not Earth; every day is a real battle. We must be extremely cautious about any disturbance, or we will be irresponsible to all the crew members on the submarine!

"Message sent... Descend!"

Glug glug... The Type 039 submarine retracted its periscope and began to descend to combat depth.

The unidentified sound source is likely a sea monster, and the battle with it will take us into the deep sea... a place that does not welcome humans.

Upon receiving the message, Pengkun-1 immediately took action.

Inside the hangar, the Chongming tactical reconnaissance aircraft prepared for sortie.

Inside the hangar, the mobile platform carrying Chongming was flashing yellow light, and two pilots quickly ran towards Chongming.

Chapter 341 Decoy (2/10)

The pilot, carrying the golden helmet, and the electronic warfare officer quickly ran to Chongming's side. At this moment, Chongming's cockpit had already been opened by the ground crew.

After boarding, the two pilots checked the functionality of the instruments in the cockpit...

Just then, the platform carrying the Bluebird flew past Chongming... That's the good thing about drones; the launch process is much easier than that of manned aircraft.

After confirming that the instruments are functioning normally, the cockpit is closed.
