#445 - Chapter 445: Global satellites attacked? Aliens attack? The Strategic Research Institute appe
Outer orbit.
A satellite is moving rapidly.
Its design is very sci-fi, unlike any known satellite: a deep lead-gray color, with a massive cylindrical body and a large umbrella-shaped structure at the top, covered with high-performance solar panels that convert sunlight into kinetic energy.
Most ordinary satellite solar panels have a two-winged appearance.
This umbrella shape absorbs more solar energy, providing powerful propulsion.
Whoosh!
With electricity converted into kinetic energy, the satellite's flight speed is extremely fast.
Before long.
A North American satellite is detected.
The armed satellite decelerates, and the lower part of its cylindrical body changes, extending a long cannon barrel.
Armed satellite.
Locking!
The next moment.
An invisible high-frequency pulse is released.
The North American satellite, as if a sitting duck, immediately erupts with a large number of sparks.
Instantaneously scrapped!
The same scene is playing out in various locations in outer orbit, with over a thousand armed satellites conducting a comprehensive sweep.
......
A Su-30MKK, equipped with an electronic warfare pod, has approached Okinawa, where the US military is stationed.
Meanwhile.
After learning about the current situation from the Secretary of Defense, the President contacted senior Chinese officials via a secure line.
We can't take the blame!
And we certainly can't start a war over this!
Currently, China is suppressing North America with its electronic warfare pods.
"I guarantee that North America is not involved... Who is responsible? We will investigate..." The North American President tried his best to explain.
At this moment.
It is late at night in North America.
Suddenly, the roar of engines is heard outside, and a group of people quickly jump out of a car.
The villa door is being banged on loudly: "Mr. President! Something's happened... Something big has happened!"
The President, who was on the phone in his study, immediately ran downstairs upon hearing the shouts.
"What's going on?"
"Our satellites... have been attacked?!"
"What?!"
Little did he know.
The person he hung up on, who was obviously angry during the previous call, now had a smiling face.
An hour later.
The President's motorcade arrived at the Pentagon, heading straight for an intelligence control center.
The Secretary of Defense.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Combatant Commander.
And several military scientists.
All are present!
"Mr. President!"
The Secretary of Defense's face was livid: "Two hours ago, over a thousand satellites were attacked, including all surveillance satellites, and... the GPS system!"
What?!
Everyone's expression changed.
The GPS system cost over 30 billion US dollars to build.
This is not a matter of money, but rather that GPS has irreplaceable value in the military and civilian fields.
Once it is destroyed...
The consequences are unimaginable!
"How many satellites... do we have left?" the President asked through gritted teeth.
"Less than two hundred..."
"What?!"
"The remaining ones... are all civilian satellites."
"..."
The President almost fainted: "Who did it?!"
"It!"
The giant screen on the wall displayed a satellite.
"There is a satellite that captured an image before the attack, but there is only one image." A military scientist said.
"What... is this?"
The President was dumbfounded.
Clearly!
The main body is cylindrical, with a huge umbrella unfurled at the top, and a cannon barrel extending from the tail.
This shape...
Is different from any known satellite of any country in the world.
The design is extremely sci-fi.
It looks a bit like a flying vehicle from a science fiction movie.
"Which country is it from?!" The President roared as he came back to his senses.
"I don't know..."
"Mr. President, a call from China!"
"Put it through!"
The President picked up the microphone.
The other party spoke fluent English: "Mr. President, I am very sorry! We have withdrawn our fighter jets. We have discovered... that the attack did not come from North America. Just now, another one of our satellites was attacked and destroyed!"
The President didn't have the mind to pursue the matter further: "Do you know who it is?!"
"I don't know."
On the phone, the other party's voice trembled: "We had over a hundred satellites, and now... only a few dozen are left!"
Damn!
The President was furious.
China has a total of hundreds of satellites, and now only a few dozen are left.
What about North America?
Out of more than 1,700 satellites, less than 200 remain!
Why is the loss ratio greater for North America?
"Shoot down those satellites!"
The President gritted his teeth: "Take them down, get their wreckage, and we'll know which country they're from!"
"Mr. President, China... does not have space warfare capabilities." The other party said helplessly.
"This..."
"Sorry, I also have an emergency meeting!"
The call ended temporarily.
The President looked at the group of military bigwigs: "Can we take them down in space and obtain the wreckage?"
A group of senior military officials looked at each other and all lowered their heads in silence.
Space warfare?
Currently...
Earth's technology is not quite sufficient.
"No matter what method you use, take down these satellites!" the President ordered.
"Yes!"
Then we can only find a way.
......
Countries are in chaos.
China is the same.
If you are very calm, what will other countries think?
Except for a very few insiders, other senior Chinese officials were in a state of chaos. At the same time, the Internet army under the Strategic Deception Bureau also posted the news on the Internet, fearing that the world would not be in turmoil.
Various media outlets and the Internet successively exposed the matter.
Countless speculations abound.
Some even said that aliens were attacking Earth.
No way!
Related satellite images were leaked by someone.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an alien weapon.
In fact, for Chen Hao, there could be countless possible designs for the armed satellite's appearance. The reason for using this kind of design... is to make it have a huge visual difference from the various satellites that already exist on Earth.
The purpose is very simple—misdirection!
China time.
The attack was launched in the morning, and rumors were flying all over the place at noon.
In the evening.
Zhang Zhong accepted a television interview.
'I'm just a Navy Major General, not an astronomer.'
'But... anyone with eyes can see that this thing doesn't look like it's from Earth. But if you want to say there are aliens...'
'After the aliens attacked the satellites, there were no further actions?'
'I personally think...'
He 'followed public opinion' on the one hand, dragging aliens into it.
After all.
The shape is too sci-fi, which does exceed everyone's cognition, and many rumors say it is aliens.
On the other hand, he 'logically' refuted the claim that it was an alien attack.
The main idea is to create a confusing and complicated situation and further complicate the doubts.
By the way, he also mixed in various conspiracy theories.
Whatever nonsense you want to say, just say it.
Whatever you can do to divert attention, just do it.
"Everyone!"
Ground station control room.
After watching Zhang Zhong's nonsense on the news, Chen Hao turned his gaze to the people around him: "This operation is top secret. Once it is leaked... you should all understand the consequences. I don't need to say more, right?"
Everyone nodded with solemn expressions.
They originally thought that launching a heavy-lift rocket to send more than two thousand satellites into the sky was the most exciting feat.
But...
President Chen didn't care at all and went to sleep.
It wasn't until this morning that they understood that the purpose was to take over global surveillance!
What a grand plan!
It's simply unprecedented!
The key is that the trick of suing first is to make a gesture of going to war with North America...
Amazing!
