Chapter 217 Are we being attacked by aliens?
Chen Jue threw the javelin with all his strength. Due to excessive force, he was in a state of weightlessness and flew backwards. He managed to stabilize his body by relying on the safety rope on his back and one foot hooked on the ladder to escape from the cabin.
However, because the force is mutual, and the force of the previous burst is like a missile launch, Chen Jue used too much force. Although he used the lunar space station to stabilize his body, the orbit of the space station deviated from the preset flight angle.
The three astronauts in the space station were originally watching Chen Jue on the surveillance video, wanting to see what was so special about this special candidate that he could wear that thin aerospace combat suit and go out of the cabin to face the space environment.
Such a powerful person is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them.
However, when they saw Chen Jue suddenly jump up and launch a javelin, then fly backwards out of the surveillance screen, and then felt a violent shock to the cabin, several red alarms inside the cabin sounded, and the faces of changed drastically at this moment!
"Alert! Alert! Deviation from the scheduled angle!"
"Oh my god! He has led the space station astray?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Correct the navigation track!"
Seeing the alarm sounded, Wang Zihai, as the commander, hurriedly gave orders, and then the three of them worked together to input a series of program requests on the computer, coordinating with the ground base to activate the automatic orbit correction function of the lunar space station.
The monitoring hall of the ground base was also in an uproar at this moment, because Chen Jue's feat of launching the retractable javelin outside the cabin was being broadcast live on the big screen.
"Too powerful! He managed to derail the lunar space station with just one move? How much strength does that require!"
"Is this the way a special candidate thinks?"
"What is he going to shoot with the javelin?"
The staff in the base monitoring hall were thrown into a panic by Chen Jue's move. Even Liu Chengdong, who had been waiting here, was frightened by Chen Jue's move and his eyelids were twitching. He turned around to look at the smiling Mr. Zhong and asked, "Mr. Zhong, are we just going to let him do this?"
"Young people are normal to have a bad temper. Go check if there is any spacecraft flying nearby." Old Zhong said. He had no idea about Chen Jue's sudden attack. Instead, he wanted to know what Chen Jue was aiming at when he fired the javelin.
At this time, several auxiliary engines outside the space station began to work together at the same time, spewing flames, and it took dozens of seconds to correct the deviation angle of the space station.
Chen Jue, who had been outside the cabin, naturally felt the changes in the space station under his feet. His eyes were always fixed on the lunar exploration satellite dozens of kilometers away.
The environment in space is very different from that on Earth. Although there is no air resistance, it is still affected by the Earth's gravity. After the black javelin was released from the hand, it formed a curve in the dark space.
With a speed as high as Mach 5, it can fly a distance of 1,700 meters in almost one second, and dozens of kilometers can be traveled in dozens of seconds.
When the space station corrected its orbit and stabilized, Chen Jue saw through his [Clairvoyance] that the lunar exploration satellite with the Hongmu Group's sponsorship logo was shot through by the black javelin, and then exploded in space with brilliant fireworks, turning into countless space junk and debris .
"Was it the battery module that was hit that caused the explosion?" Chen Jue muttered upon seeing this. He felt refreshed as if he had collected some interest from the Hongmu Group. Then he slowly returned to the airlock and ended this extravehicular activity.
…
At the same time that Chen Jue shot up the lunar exploration satellite, on the other side of the ocean, a base of the Eagle Country Space Agency was plunged into an extremely strange atmosphere of silence.
Inside the monitoring hall of the base, hundreds of staff members opened their mouths, covered their heads with their hands, hugged their heads, and grabbed their hair, as if they had watched an extremely incredible scene.
In a private room separated by floor-to-ceiling glass behind the monitoring hall, a few foreigners who were celebrating with champagne no longer had the joy they had before. Instead, like the staff sitting in front of the computers with headsets on, they stared with their mouths wide open at the lunar satellite that had turned into cosmic dust on the screen.
“OMG!”
"Gift Crab!"
"#￥FK..."
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"What on earth was that black afterimage just now?"
"Are we being attacked by aliens?"
The hall was in an uproar. Several foreigners in the cubicle threw down the champagne in their hands and ran out in a hurry.
One of the familiar faces, Mr. John, the director of Hongmu Group, was twitching and his heart was bleeding. He pulled a high-ranking officer in uniform beside him and asked him, "Captain Smith! Explain to me, what exactly was going on in that scene just now?"
"Do you know how much financial and material resources our Hongmu Group invested in that lunar exploration satellite?"
"This life detection satellite is integrated with dozens of the latest functions. It also has a small landing robot. The total cost is as high as 800 million green coins, not to mention the tens of millions of dollars for the launch rocket!"
"After spending hundreds of millions of greenbacks, you're just going to treat a few of us board members to a little space fireworks?"
"Is this what you call a unique celebration?"
"I￥%#!"
Seeing John getting angry, the middle-aged white man in uniform couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. He quickly calmed him down and said, "Mr. John, please calm down. There will be ... I have arranged for my men to confirm it, and there will be an answer soon..."
"Smith! I have known you for many years, and you know my temper. I don't want to know the answer right now!"
"I want to know if there is any hope of recovering hundreds of millions of green coins? You know, I'm a businessman. There's no insurance company to cover us for this space business! It's all real money that our group paid out!" John was spitting and looked a little exasperated. He no longer had the elegance and grace he had before when he was chatting and laughing with others with a champagne in his hand.
"..." The senior executive of the base named Smith felt a little confused at the moment. He rubbed his nose bridge and then comforted the furious John.
Although there have been occasional crashes in the Eagle Country's rocket launch business in recent years, those were to verify immature new technologies, such as rocket launch recovery and reuse technology, which caused instability.
However, this was the first time they had encountered a satellite that had already been sent into low-Earth orbit and was starting to change its trajectory to the moon, and was considered to be a safe bet, but suddenly crashed.
"Have you found out the situation? What exactly caused the satellite crash?" Smith signaled John and others to stay calm, then walked to a staff member at the main control desk in the monitoring hall and asked.
"Boss! We're already investigating. The surveillance video has been sent to the video analysis room. We'll have the results soon."
"We checked the satellite's final signal and have ruled out various factors such as space debris and asteroid fragments. There is only one possibility at present... that is, it has been attacked by some kind of external force..." The staff at the main control desk shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, his face also full of disbelief .
"External attack?"
"What a gift! Could it be that alien UFOs really exist?" Smith's face twitched and he started cursing as well.
When the results from the video analysis room were sent to the big screen, everyone, including John and Smith, could clearly see the dark object that had just flashed across the screen.
It was a sharp metal object similar to a steel needle. After the staff continued to magnify and improve the resolution of the distorted image, everyone realized that it was actually a pitch-black javelin that detonated the lunar satellite!
"What???"
"A javelin?"
"What on earth is this!?"
"Is it some kind of latest high-tech weapon?"
"Hurry up and check the operation records of any spacecraft nearby when the satellite changed its orbit!" The monitoring hall was in an uproar again.
There was another flurry of activity, and soon the information of several aircraft that were approaching was displayed on the big screen.
From communication satellites to remote sensing satellites, and then to comparing the flight angle of the black javelin, the target was finally locked on the Flower Planting Family Space Station dozens of kilometers away.
At this moment, not only did the staff of all skin colors in the hall hold their heads in their hands, but even John, who had been cursing for a long time, shut his mouth.
As for Smith, his eyelids were twitching. He took out an encrypted mobile phone from his pocket, dialed an encrypted channel, and said to a person in charge on the other end of the phone, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir... I have a very serious situation to report... The rabbit over there... has developed some kind of satellite weapon that can be used in outer space..."
