Chapter 274: It is impolite not to reciprocate
Bao Changping, a well-known science blogger, quickly posted an analysis video on the matter on his personal social account.
"In fact, the United States has always had this habit. If you pay close attention, you will find that the United States often uses satellites to photograph important military facilities of other countries and then reports on them extensively."
"Does the United States have nothing to do? No, they have their own little calculations."
"It is precisely such high-precision photos that prove that the United States has very advanced technology in satellite monitoring."
"This approach is not only a provocation to us, but also a flex of muscle to the world."
"It's like saying that your every move is under surveillance by the United States."
"But don't worry, we should have expected these things."
"It's not just the United States. Several other aerospace powers, including China, also have such strength in the satellite field."
"I roughly calculated that the resolution of this picture is about 0.3m."
"It is really an amazing technology to be able to take such clear pictures at such a resolution."
"What's more, they may not have demonstrated the most advanced technology."
"In other words, they may have the ability to take clearer pictures, but they just haven't released them yet."
"To be honest, China may not be as good as the United States in related technologies, but the gap is not too big."
"I believe it won't be long before we respond to this incident."
After learning the news, Xu You looked at the picture carefully.
Through calculations, Xu You roughly figured out that the resolution of this picture is about 0.3m.
Xu You knew that such a resolution was definitely not the limit of US satellites.
According to Xu You's analysis, the United States should be able to clearly present images with a resolution of 0.1m .
But even so, their satellite imaging technology cannot compare with our latest technology.
Xu You is just waiting for us to respond to this incident.
Sure enough, just one day later, China responded to this matter.
Hua Xia’s spokesperson posted another picture on his Twitter.
And added a note at the end:
"There is an old Chinese saying: It is impolite not to reciprocate. Western friends should also take a rest. As long as you don't think about dominating the world, you don't need to work so hard."
At the end of this tweet, Blanchard from the United States was specifically @ed.
In response, this picture was taken of a US aircraft carrier.
The pattern in the photo is also very clear, even the details of the seams on the aircraft carrier deck are clearly visible.
Not only that, the biggest feature of this photo is that it is not affected by weather conditions.
From the picture, you can vaguely see the clouds above the aircraft carrier, but these clouds do not block the aircraft carrier and do not affect the observation of the aircraft carrier at all.
You can even see some pipes several tens of centimeters thick inside the aircraft carrier.
This shows that the satellite that takes this kind of picture has a certain degree of "perspective" ability.
Of course, this capability actually belongs to satellite remote sensing technology.
Not only can it penetrate the atmosphere to produce stable images, it can even, like a CT scan, see objects that cannot be photographed normally.
Even at night, images can be taken.
China's response photo far surpasses the US picture in terms of resolution and clarity, as well as the technology of crossing obstacles .
This made Blanchard's provocative behavior suddenly seem very embarrassing.
After seeing China's response, netizens in the United States couldn't help but discuss it on Twitter.
"What's going on? Why are the photos taken by China's satellite clearer than ours? We took the initiative to provoke others, but they beat us up instead?"
"Haha, as an American, I think Blanchard is a little funny. Stop your stupid behavior!"
"It seems that they have surpassed us in satellite imaging technology. I hope this is not our top technology."
"Yes, I believe this is just a demonstration picture. Next we will release clearer images to show China what the most advanced technology is!"
After learning the news, the United States also held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
"Didn't they say they couldn't reach this level? Why are the pictures taken by their satellites clearer than ours?"
"We calculated that the resolution of this photo is about 0.2m. Our satellite can achieve a maximum resolution of 0.1m. Their technology is still far behind ours."
"So, are we going to show off our best technology?"
"At this point, we have no choice but to do this. If we don't respond, I'm afraid the whole world will say that the US satellite technology is not as good as China's."
"Well, it's just a photo, let's publish it. No matter what, we must show that we are stronger than other countries."
Science blogger Bao Changping immediately updated the video after seeing the picture of Huaxia’s response.
In the video, Bao Changping looked very excited, and it was obvious that this response made Bao Changping in a very good mood.
"Well, I told you we would respond. It's only been a day, and we've already given a resounding response."
"Let's not talk about whether both sides have demonstrated their most advanced technology. Just from these two photos, I can responsibly say that our satellite is far superior to the US satellite."
"You can see intuitively that the images taken by our satellites are clearer than those taken by the United States."
"But if you look closely, you'll see there's a faint cloud in the image we took."
"This cloud may have appeared by chance, but we chose this image deliberately, so it is definitely not accidental."
"What does this prove? It proves that our satellite can penetrate the atmosphere and produce stable images."
"But there are no such traces in the images taken by US satellites."
"As far as I know, the U.S. satellite that took this picture does not have the ability to penetrate the atmosphere to take this kind of image."
"They would never dare to release pictures like those that are obscured by the atmosphere."
"It's like, they run up to our door, roll up their sleeves and show us their big biceps."
"And when we showed our muscles, they realized that our muscles were more developed."
"Not only that, we also showed off some kung fu skills that they don't even know."
"In this way, all the pressure will be on the US side."
