Chapter 925: Revenge Is Not Delayed Overnight, Things Are Getting Serious

The key to modern warfare lies in information warfare. All kinds of communications, reconnaissance, and navigation all rely on satellites.

Without the support of satellites, the battlefield can only play a passive role.

The attack of the United States on Laosa is the best example. In this war, the whole world realized the importance of satellites.

Before the war started, the United States mobilized all satellites to conduct a full investigation of Laosa’s military bases, which provided great help for the United States’ subsequent combat operations.

In modern warfare, without satellites, you can only "take a beating".

For many years, the United States has actively developed outer space reconnaissance and spy satellite technology to gain huge resource advantages.

Many countries do not have effective countermeasures, which allows the United States to monitor and photograph other countries’ military bases without scruples.

In this case, a new technology, anti-satellite capability, has been spawned in the global military development.

At present, only China, the United States and the polar bear have real anti-satellite capabilities.

In 2007, China conducted a primary anti-satellite missile test using an abandoned satellite for the experiment, and the experiment was very successful.

As time goes by, China's anti-satellite missile technology has made greater breakthroughs and reached the world's leading level.

Of course, having this technology does not mean that we can stop and wait for the old capital.

Aerospace Science and Technology is still thinking about improving related technologies as much as possible.

On the one hand, it can greatly improve the performance of anti-satellite missiles, and on the other hand, it can see whether the cost of related missiles can be reduced.

After all, Venustech's strength in reducing costs is obvious to all.

"The weapon that best represents our anti-satellite capabilities is the Kinetic Energy 3 missile. The biggest advantage of this missile is that its range can reach 36,000 kilometers and it has a strong ability to strike satellites."

"However, the production cost is a bit high, and the deployment is relatively not so flexible."

"So I want to cooperate with Venustech in this regard."

Qian Junfeng directly shared his ideas with Cao Yang.

After all, everyone should cooperate well. If you don't even understand the situation, how can you cooperate? It will definitely not work.

However, Cao Yang had his own ideas. He said, "Anti-satellite missiles are one direction. Aerospace technology has done well in this regard."

"Let's cooperate a little and promote some improved models."

"But I am more interested in laser weapons."

"Qimingxing Technology plans to carry large laser weapons on special satellites, which can directly launch laser beams at target satellites or ground targets and kill with high energy."

Laser weapons are not something special.

Many countries have been researching them many years ago.

Both China and the United States are among the best.

But it is obviously not that easy to carry laser weapons on satellites.

Qian Junfeng also knows the advantages and disadvantages of this aspect.

Compared with traditional missiles, the advantage of laser beams is that their delay is almost negligible, and they will not be affected by factors such as wind direction during flight.

The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, while the altitude of a low-orbit satellite is about 200 kilometers, the altitude of a medium-orbit satellite is about 500 kilometers, and the altitude of a high-orbit satellite is more than 1,000 kilometers.

Therefore, when the satellite laser beam is launched, it hits the target almost instantly, and the opponent has no chance to react at all.

However, such a good weapon must have its problems, otherwise it would have been equipped on a large scale long ago.

"Laser weapons require strong kinetic energy, where does the energy of the satellite come from?"

"Also, when launching the laser beam, how to ensure that it can hit the target at a long distance?"

Qian Junfeng mentioned a very critical issue.

On the ground, there are various ways to solve this problem.

But in the sky, this problem is not so easy to solve.

"These two questions can be answered together. The power of the laser weapon naturally comes from the solar panels mounted on the surface, and a micro high-energy battery is placed inside."

"With the current technology of Venusstar Technology, there is no problem with the high-efficiency solar panel technology. The gallium nitride solar panels we use on the space station are a good source of energy."

"Instead, the next step is to solve the problem of high-energy battery technology."

"However, how to ensure the storage and efficient output of the battery while ensuring that the size is not too large is very difficult, and it is inseparable from the design structure of the satellite itself."

"However, in terms of battery technology, our Nanshan battery is definitely one of the best, and it can be said that a solution can definitely be found."

"It's just that the high-energy batteries produced in the early stage may not be so ideal."

"As for the aiming and positioning of the laser beam, it also requires various satellites to accurately position the ground. In this regard, our Starlink satellite system can play a big role."

Cao Yang's eloquent talk immediately aroused Qian Junfeng's interest.

It was not until the Chang'e space station was officially assembled and began to prepare for emergency evasion that they turned their attention back to the scene.

"Mr. Cao, although this time it was a close call, the US's behavior is disgusting. How are you going to fight back?"

Qian Junfeng knew that Cao Yang would definitely not give up.

Everyone had just discussed such a sensitive topic, so naturally they didn't mind continuing to have in-depth discussions now.

"We at Venusstar Technology were testing an interference satellite some time ago. We will adjust the orbit of this satellite and let it go towards one of the GPS satellites later."

Obviously, Cao Yang's revenge was not overnight, and he was going to go directly to the GPS satellite.

The space part of GPS consists of 24 working satellites, which are evenly distributed on 6 orbital planes, with 4 satellites on each orbital plane.

In addition, there are 4 active backup satellites in orbit.

Such a distribution ensures that more than four satellites can be observed anywhere in the world at any time, and can maintain a geometric image with good positioning solution accuracy.

As long as one of the satellites is interfered with, the GPS signal in a part of the area will be abnormal.

This will definitely give the United States a big impact.

In the future, if you want to deal with the satellites and space stations of Venusstar Technology, you have to think carefully.

Cao Yang did what he said. When the official announcement of the completion of the formal establishment of the Chang'e space station was made on the same day, the interference satellite began to act.

A GPS satellite completely lost all signals within more than two hours of the Venusstar Technology interference satellite approaching.

This matter immediately became a big deal.

After all, the information that this satellite was approaching the GPS satellite was very clear to the United States.
