In this world, everything had to do with the United States.
Similarly, when everyone was ready to stir up trouble, America was also the first target.
It was really not easy to be the world's police in America.
Of course, in Qin Tian's view, this was a matter of course, a matter of course.
Didn't you secretly set me up when my satellite was in the sky?
Eating your satellite is just a crime tool. Exposing your little secret is a little punishment.
The Americans had no idea that their tools were being confiscated, and they had no idea that the female officers in Area 51's military base were about to face a underwear crisis.
On the east coast of the United States, in the Capital District, a military conference was also being held in the famous pentagonal building.
This was not a coincidence. It was almost the end of the year. Everyone needed to summarize their work for the entire year and calculate the budget for next year in advance. The military budget was of course the most important.
A long round table was filled with a group of high-ranking American officials, most of whom were military officers.
The one sitting at the head of the table was the President of the United States, John Xun. He seemed to be in a good mood.
As for the reason why he was in a good mood-" Mr. Miles, the satellite that the Chinese military secretly launched, has it been confirmed to have failed?”
"Yes, Mr. President." Miles, who was sitting on the left side of the president, answered calmly.
He was a four-star general, the commander of the North American Defense Command, and a trusted aide of President John Xun.
"The AMPTE/CCE satellite monitored the entire process of China Satellite 3's orbit," Miles continued."After the satellite exhausted all its fuel, it successfully reached low-Earth orbit. However, it was unable to accelerate to an orbital velocity of 7.8 kilometers per second, so it fell again.”
"Do the Chinese people know that it was the AMPTE/CCE satellite that interfered with them?”John continued to ask with interest.
"As long as these Chinese people are not stupid, they will definitely guess it. After all, this was the second time they had failed to launch a rocket, Mr. President.”Miles replied.
"Unfortunately, they can't do anything to us!”The Defense Minister beside Michael spoke up. The latter also had a relaxed smile on his face."There's no evidence pointing at us. Even if they guessed that it was the interference from the AMPTE/CCE satellites, they would not be able to retaliate.”
"After all, we have signed the Outer Space Convention, which forbids us from attacking other countries 'satellites!”he said meaningfully.
The Outer Space Convention was an agreement signed by almost all countries. The core content of it was to prohibit the militarism of space.
In other words, you can't attack other countries from space, and you can't attack any other satellites.
Although this part of the agreement was now useless, and everyone was thinking about the aerospace integration attack, at least on the surface, everyone still had to abide by this agreement.
"In that case, are we also in danger of breaking this agreement?”John rubbed his chin and looked at Miles.
"No, Mr. President."
Miles accurately scratched the President's itch, and he answered without any emotion.
"First of all, the ionosphere is not defined as outer space. Secondly, our Seaford Array is a civilian device, not a weapon. The goal was to improve global communication capabilities. If the aircraft of other countries are unfortunately affected, we are very sorry, but that is all.”
That's right, China's Celestial Satellite 2 and 3 failed to launch in succession, and the main culprit was this Seaford Array.
The Sieford Formation was also known as the Sieford Plan, or perhaps it was also known as the Needle Plan.
In the last century, wireless communication technology was not developed enough. The communication between the United States and the other continents of the world still relied on cables laid on the bottom of the ocean.
Then, the United States announced that it wanted to enhance global wireless communication capabilities and launched 500 million tiny antennae as thick as hair into the ionosphere.
This plan met with global opposition, so the United States stopped the follow-up plan. The 500 million hair-thick antenna did not affect the subsequent launch of spacecraft by other countries, so the Seaford project gradually faded out of sight.
However, after the birth of long-distance transmission technology, the United States secretly restarted this plan. They had launched several weather satellites, and the AMPTE/CCE satellite was one of them.
These satellites could use long-distance transmission technology to transmit electricity to a certain area in the ionosphere, causing the antennae in the area to be charged and gathered together to form a powerful electromagnetic cloud!
These electromagnetic clouds would not only interfere with the positioning system of the rocket or satellite, but the powerful electric charge contained in them would also be transmitted through the metal shell of the rocket to the interior, causing a short circuit!
With this system, the United States had become the ruler of space because they could control the success or failure of other countries 'satellite launch!
If he doesn't want your satellite to fly, all he has to do is move his finger and launch an electromagnetic beam.
Of course, this method also had a lot of limitations. The launch of high-energy electromagnetic waves would greatly reduce the lifespan of the US 'own satellites.
Moreover, if he used it too much, it might be caught by other countries. At that time, it might cause a huge incident!
Moreover, this method had a huge restriction.
For example, it could only be used on more critical military satellites, such as the China Sky Satellite series, which attempted to challenge the US space hegemony.
As for the Big Dipper Satellite, they couldn't be stopped.
As for the Sky Satellite series, they needed at least ten satellites to be able to play their true role. However, the launch cycle of satellites was very long. Only one or two satellites could be launched in a year.
As long as they interfered with a few of them, it would slow down China's progress for several years.
Of course, China could not be bullied as they pleased. The United States could not stop China's satellite launch forever. It was simply delaying China's satellite development progress.
As long as they could delay China for a few years, even if it was only for two or three years, it would be a waste of money. It would make China feel very uncomfortable and be controlled by others!
"I hope those Chinese people aren't stupid.”President John sighed lightly." This way, they will understand that everything is under the will of the United States!”
"I think they already know who is the master of space, Mr. President.”Miles replied expressionlessly.
