Chapter 456: Heaven's Net
After the successful launch of Spark.
There was sudden applause in the launch control room of the base.
Li Qingye also applauded the Dandelion project: "You have completed an amazing project and set an example for the opening of a new era."
"It's all thanks to the company's strong support." Su Changli's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited.
Although he was full of confidence in the Dandelion project, this was after all the first actual test launch. Su Changli was naturally very excited that the launch mission could be successfully completed in one go.
Li Qingye patted him on the shoulder and said, "Changli , you have to keep up the good work. The Motor Island Satellite Manufacturing Company is already producing death ray satellites. You have to strengthen communication with each other and try to deploy the death ray satellites into low-Earth orbit as soon as possible."
"I understand! I will arrange this as soon as possible!" Su Changli nodded.
He certainly knew the company's huge demand for large-payload spacecraft.
For a giant satellite like the Death Ray Satellite, which has a net weight of 480 tons, the previously designed Apollo launch vehicle has no way of transporting it to low-Earth orbit.
As for the plan of segmented transportation and on-orbit assembly, it was directly rejected by the Space Business Department because the risk was extremely high.
Death ray satellites can only be launched and deployed as a whole. Although some cobalt rods need to be replenished for later maintenance, that also requires strict management and operation.
In fact, 32 death ray satellites have been deployed in the Earth's low-Earth orbit at this time.
However, these death ray satellites are not launched through the mass projector of the Dandelion project, but transported to low-Earth orbit through the aerospace transport aircraft of the aerospace mothership.
After all, those aerospace carriers are just sitting there anyway. In order to avoid wasting resources, the Space Business Department uses these aerospace carriers as launch platforms.
Through these aerospace carriers, the Space Division successfully launched 32 death ray satellites.
By the way, the death ray satellite is managed by the Space Division, while the aerospace carrier is managed by the External Security Division.
The main reason is that there is no other way. As the company grows in size, its organization also expands. Now the earth can no longer stop the pace of Homo Sapiens.
Li Qingye left the Dandelion Project base and headed to the satellite manufacturing company in the central part of Mada Island.
On a high-speed subway train.
Bagheira reported to him: "Sir, this is the June briefing just sent by the Field Operations Department."
Li Qingye took the tablet and started browsing through it quickly.
The above content is about some important situations around the world.
For example, in order to deal with insects stealing secrets, all major forces have listed insect extermination and prevention as core tasks, and a large number of insect-proof safe houses and safe areas have been built.
In this way, the major forces did hide some confidential information.
However, according to Chen Jianxiong's assessment, the current Sapiens company still has a huge advantage in intelligence.
This is mainly due to another core technology that has not been leaked - magnetic field radar technology.
After several upgrades and modifications by researchers in the Science Division, the company's magnetic field radar technology has become increasingly accurate.
How precise is it?
It is possible to determine the approximate elemental composition of each cubic centimeter on the surface and within 50 meters below the surface, or within 1000 meters underwater.
At 50 to 500 meters underground and 1000 to 5000 meters underwater, it is at the cubic decimeter level.
At 500 to 3,000 meters underground and 5,000 to the deepest part of the seabed, it is at the cubic meter level.
And those heavy elements are easier to detect because their magnetic fields are out of tune with the bulk of the elements around them.
For example, elements such as lead, gold, platinum, tungsten, uranium, and plutonium, after being enriched by humans, have a more obvious magnetic field.
Even if America was cunning and used the insect-proof safe zone to transfer some strategic equipment to a new secret base, there was still no way to keep it secret.
Although deuterium is easily confused with water and liquid hydrogen, deuterium needs to combine with lithium to become a solid state, which is a very significant magnetic field feature.
In addition, if heavy hydrogen is to be used as a weapon, there must be another thing around it - an atomic trigger device.
Inside the atomic trigger device, there are plutonium and uranium elements with more obvious magnetic field characteristics.
Therefore, no matter how strict America's defenses are, it will be of no use. Insects can be killed and isolated safety zones can be established, but there is no way to avoid the magnetic field monitoring satellites in the sky.
Therefore, Sapiens still has the first-mover advantage at this time.
In addition to the information about the safe house, Li Qingye also saw information about the huge investments made by various major forces in life extension technology and biochips.
For example, the brain-control chip invested by Musk has recently received a lot of investment and has designed more radical experimental plans.
Although Musk's laboratory has also designed insect-proof safety measures, over 500 live and dead pigs have come in and out over the past half month. Commercial investigators from the field division do not need to go in to find that the intensity of the experiments inside has increased more than ten times.
As for life-extending drugs, large pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer have announced various breakthroughs with great fanfare.
Li Qingye smiled and shook his head: "The PPT is well done, the Americans are first-rate at forging things!"
He could see at a glance that these big pharmaceutical companies were committing fraud and had made breakthrough progress. Their fraud technology had indeed made breakthrough progress.
If it were so easy to develop, the average human lifespan would have exceeded 100 years long ago.
Obviously, this is America's way of appeasing people. Those lower-class people who have received a happy education or self-satisfied immigrants will believe their lies.
And those smart people saw through the trick .
When turning to the last few pages of the briefing, Li Qingye suddenly paused.
[On June 27, the first year of Xinghe, at 14:32 in the afternoon, a yacht capsized and sank in the Huangpu River, killing all 57 people on board... List of victims: Wang...].
"What a shame! Bagheira, please send a condolence letter to the relatives of the victims for me."
Bagheira shook his head: "Sir, the entire family of the victims is on the yacht, so there are no relatives."
"Oh? That's a pity... The price of iron ore has indeed been a bit high recently. We can't let our partners suffer losses. Let's adjust the ex-factory price of iron ore back to the price at the end of last year!"
Bagheira nodded and said, "I will notify Emerald Mining to lower the price."
"He who knows the times is a hero! I am still too kind." Li Qingye put down the tablet.
The train just happened to have arrived at the city where the Motor Island Satellite Manufacturing Company was located.
He came to the subsidiary's manufacturing base.
The manager of the subsidiary company quickly replaced him with a full set of radiation protection suits. After all, there was a workshop for assembling cobalt rods here, and if the chairman was accidentally hurt, he would be held responsible.
After listening to the report from the factory manager, Li Qingye learned that they were developing the Death Ray Satellite Type 2.
This is a design that has been further optimized based on the Death Ray Satellite Type 1.
Its core optimization direction is to modify the previous weight-reduction design of QQ Soso.
After all, the previous weight-reduction design of Koukousousou was to reduce the launch weight. Now that we have aerospace transport aircraft and mass projectors, there is no need to reduce weight.
After all, weight reduction design will ultimately reduce the overall mass of the satellite.
Therefore, the factory directly increased the total weight of the Death Ray Satellite Type 2 to 1,000 tons and equipped it with thick and comprehensive protective armor.
The cobalt rod protection cabin was reinforced again, and a gamma ray version of the electric propulsion system was installed. This electric propulsion system can use the electricity generated by the cobalt rods to maintain the operating orbit in the altitude range of 300 to 400 kilometers in the low-Earth orbit for a long time.
