Interstellar Energy Tycoon

in space.

Hit by a high-energy laser.

Starlink satellites one after another evaporate directly into a gaseous state, leaving no slag.

According to the efficiency of destroying two or three per minute.

It won't be long before all these ceramic tools in space will be finished.

Space company was severely beaten to seven inches. It took many years to build the Starlink system at a cost of tens of billions of dollars. The company's important profit tool was just disposed of as garbage.

Stern warnings are useless.

Asking for cooperation is also useless.

Promise to standardize the use of low-earth orbit, reduce the risk of collisions, and ensure that similar collisions will not happen again. I hope Xingyuan Group will show mercy.

but……

Useless.

More than 40,000 Starlink satellites are all classified as 'space junk'. Since they are garbage, they will naturally be dealt with. If we want to eradicate them, we will not leave a single one.

In the face of such a destruction efficiency, even if Iron Horse ordered to replenish Starlink satellites, at most one or two hundred satellites can be replenished into space a day, and the speed at which they can be destroyed by lasers is more than ten times the speed of replenishment, and the cost is even more incomparable. The cost of irradiating it is at most tens of dollars, while the cost of a Starlink satellite is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The cost is tens of thousands of times different.

In front of the real space hooligans, Starlink satellites are like cute little friends, being punched and blown up one by one, and they have no power to fight back.

The iron horse was about to vomit blood, smashing things in the office, this was the first time he was bullied like this, this was something he had never experienced before!

what to do?

Find the company's experts and discuss it.

Three solutions were proposed.

One is to use laser to laser, send a ten-ton laser satellite into space with a rocket, then aim at the energy relay satellite of Xingyuan Group, and then launch a laser with a power level of 200KW to kill that satellite. Power Relay Satellites! Even if they shine on each other, they will die together!

But the cost of this solution is more than 1 billion knives, which is relatively expensive.

The second plan is to ask the military to help, launch two to three anti-satellite missiles, and kill the energy relay satellite of Xingyuan Group! The cost does not exceed 100 million knives.

However, there is a risk of attack failure, and Xingyuan Group's satellites can also intercept missiles with lasers, which may not necessarily achieve their goals.

Instead, it will cause a space chaos, resulting in mutual losses.

But as long as Xingyuan Group's space energy facilities are still there, it can re-launch the spacecraft at a very low cost and quickly occupy the space, while Ugly Country cannot restore the infrastructure in space without spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

That is to say, a war of attrition cannot be waged at all, nor can it be waged.

It can only be left to Space to figure out a way to deal with it.

Iron Horse and the experts really thought of a low-cost and relatively reliable method.

This plan is nothing new, in fact, it is still a tactic of touching porcelain in space.

That is to say, let the Falcon rocket send dozens of Starlink satellites into space. The surface of these satellites must be painted with a laser-reflecting coating, or covered with a layer of glass, and then arranged in a neat queue, all heading towards the An energy relay satellite crashed into it and launched a suicide attack!

Even if the few Starlink satellites in the front were burned by the laser, the dozens of satellites in the back could always keep approaching, and finally achieved their goal with a bang.

Cost no more than fifty million knives.

It is equivalent to or even cheaper than the energy relay satellite of Xingyuan Group, and it is completely worth exchanging.

In the same way, using this method, crash the Xingyuan Group's light sail reflector, kill their photovoltaic array, and completely destroy the Xingyuan Group's space energy facilities!

Hahaha, although it will cost billions or tens of billions of knives, it is very worthwhile, because Space will have the opportunity to replace Xingyuan Group, and also establish a set of space energy facilities belonging to Space. The huge benefits of thousands of trillions of dollars belonged to his Iron Horse.

Think here.

Iron Horse became excited, and the doll's face was full of evil smiles, seeing a huge business opportunity.

"Hehe, Xingyuan Group, you forced me to do this!"

"Since you want to fight, then I will fight with you to the end!"

"Laser weapons are not without weaknesses, and high-speed impact is the kingly way."

"This rare opportunity was given to me by you, so don't blame me for being rude!"

Then, with great enthusiasm, Iron Horse will devote itself to the business of space bumper cars, to create a bright future for Space, to bankrupt Xingyuan Group, and to bring the big cake of space energy to me. In the arms of the Iron Horse.

Do it!

Let's see who is stronger?

Let's see who can have the last laugh?

On May 15th, a Falcon rocket lifted off, carrying sixty modified Starlink satellites named "Victory Boxer" into space.

Turn on the Hall electric propulsion engine again, and head straight for the energy relay satellite.

In the ground control center, watching the live broadcast on the big screen, the iron horse folded its hands, its face was flushed, a smile was drawn on the corner of its mouth, and the excitement in its heart was uncontrollable.

near.

It's getting closer.

800 kilometers

500 kilometers

300 kilometers

In a few tens of seconds, the collision he was most looking forward to will happen. This wonderful space bumper car will soon stage a wonderful KO where the little guy defeats the big guy.

And the energy relay satellite has not responded yet, and it seems that it has not discovered the attack of the Starlink satellite.

"Okay, very good~"

"It is to approach silently, and then launch the deadliest blow."

"The top assassin is nothing more than that."

The distance is close to within 200 kilometers.

Steady.

The iron horse tapped the table with his fingers, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt stable in his heart, and the probability of a successful attack had increased to more than 80%.

But at this moment!

The energy relay satellite of Xingyuan Group suddenly activated the ion engine and made a large maneuvering evasion action.

Then a dazzling laser column mixed with red light hit.

With 100,000 kilowatts of power, even if the lenses and coatings on the surface of the Starlink satellite can reflect 99.9%, the remaining 0.1% is enough to heat and burn it.

The dozen or so "Victory Boxer" Starlink satellites in front were destroyed by lasers one after another.

However, the remaining forty or so left behind still gave Iron Horse the last glimmer of hope.

But there is a glimmer of hope. On that energy relay satellite, using an electromagnetic cannon, it suddenly fired a series of bullets with a tracer trajectory, accurately hitting the remaining Starlink satellites, smashing them into pieces, and then Under the irradiation of high-power lasers, these fragments evaporate into a gaseous state, leaving no slag.

Not even a piece of debris as large as 1 centimeter could get close to the energy relay satellite, let alone bring any damage.

In the ground control center.

The steel horse's eyes widened, and Huo Di stood up with an unacceptable expression on his face.

"This, this...how did it become like this?"

"Isn't laser the only attack method? Why can it still fire bullets and carry conventional attack weapons."

"Rogue, this is cheating and playing a rogue. It doesn't follow the rules at all, and it's not fair competition. I don't accept it. I can't accept this kind of cheating!"

"Protest, we will continue to protest and hold a press conference to expose the insidious behavior of Xingyuan Group. They are militarizing space and threatening the safety of all mankind!"

Iron Horse couldn't accept such a result, and his face flushed with anger, like a red-eyed gambler, it can be said that he was desperate.

But his press conference has not yet been held.

the other side.

However, Xingyuan Group has already held a press conference, invited hundreds of domestic and foreign reporters, and produced conclusive video evidence, recording in detail how Space’s Starlink satellites launched a premeditated space attack. The collision, the process that ended in failure, was extremely well-documented and caused an uproar among reporters.

Then Xiao Jingsheng, the person in charge of the "Space Junk Cleanup Department" of Star Source Group announced:

Star Group will increase the number of garbage-clearing satellites deployed in space from one to ten. In the next two days, all Starlink satellites in space will be destroyed. In addition, if Space Corporation continues to launch Starlink satellites, it will launch a strike during the rocket launch process, and will not allow any garbage to enter space, threatening the safety of Star Group's assets.

The statement has just come to an end.

The ten energy relay satellites that had been deployed in space in advance launched a "massacre" against the remaining Starlink satellites, destroying more than 20,000 of them in one day, and the Starlink system basically collapsed and became a massacre. history.

But this time, few global public opinion criticized, and most of them gloated. After all, who let Space’s sneak attack be caught, not to mention it, and the evidence was collected, and it was caught. Isn’t this what it deserves?

What's more, the reputation of the Starlink system is bad, and astronomy enthusiasts complained that ordinary people can't afford it and think it's not easy to use, but it has miraculous effects when it is used to mess up some small countries. Now it has finally been cleaned up. Yes, everyone clapped their hands and praised Xingyuan Group for its good work.

...

Space Corporation headquarters.

collapsed.

At this moment, the steel horse's face was full of ashes, and it was on the verge of collapse.

"Trap, it turned out that this was a trap that was set up for me a long time ago! I stepped into it without hesitation, but I just fell into their arms and found an excuse to do it."

"Xingyuan Group, you are too despicable, you are bastards! Your insidiousness makes me look like a brainless idiot, and makes me have the illusion that I will win."

"My star chain is over, my space business is going to be over, no, this is absolutely not possible, I am a great steel horse, I can't lose the opportunity to enter the universe, and I can't be restricted by the space for survival and development."

"Go to Huaguo. I will go to Huaguo now. I will go to Xingyuan Group to apologize and admit my mistakes, and seek cooperation opportunities. Even if I kneel and surrender to Li Xingyang, I can't be blocked on the ground!"

Iron Horse made a decision to go to Huaguo immediately.
