Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 104: Dongda's Actions in Nanhai
"VSA-224 satellite orbit raise"

With the Dongda orbital spacecraft monitoring system as intelligence backup, any changes in the target satellite's orbit will be transmitted to Wei Jiang as soon as possible.

"Hmph, run? Is it too late?"

The ridiculously low maneuvering power of artificial satellite orbital engines is nothing compared to the manta ray's anti-gravity power.

Anti-gravity power can directly offset the gravitational effect of the blue planet, which has huge advantages over ordinary man-made aircraft.

Compared with flying in the atmosphere, the acceleration of manta rays in space orbit is stronger than that of flying in the atmosphere because the gravity of the blue planet is smaller and the reaction force it can release is stronger.

「Altitude 197km」

The manta ray's flight altitude continued to rise, and the orbital altitude of the VSA-224 reconnaissance satellite was synchronously updated on the manta ray's display screen.

"257km"

Comparing orbital lift efficiency, manta rays win!
This was the first time to hunt a target in space, an experience Wei Jiang believed had never been attempted by humans before.

The manta ray drew a curve and caught up with VSA-224, 217km.

The distance between the two sides is still narrowing!

During the chase, the manta ray came to the sunlit side of the blue planet. The beautiful sight of the giant blue planet below was still shocking when seen again.

While Wei Jiang was chasing the reconnaissance satellite, the manta ray's flight path was also within the observation range of all parties.

The extraordinary flight trajectory stunned all astronomical observers.

Extreme lift! Far exceeding the maneuverability of human spacecraft.

"Estimated encounter with target satellite in 1 minute and 28 seconds"

A space chase is taking place within everyone's observation field of vision.

The first interstellar war that everyone is looking forward to, involves the Ugly Eagle military reconnaissance satellite and the black aircraft.

"Deputy Commander, the target's mobility is too strong. The satellite is likely to be lost."

The deputy commander of the Ugly Eagle Space Force Command stared straight at the screen in front of him.

Our satellite tried its best to change its trajectory to avoid it, but the red line behind it was extending too fast, making all our efforts in vain.

The distance between the red line and the blue line keeps getting closer, and the two lines will soon fit together.

The situation they least want to see is about to happen.

The satellite is 280km away from the blue planet, and they can't do anything on the ground.

This feeling of powerlessness was very unpleasant, and the deputy commander tightly grasped the corner of the table next to him with one hand.

The Ugly Eagle Space Force has an annual budget of tens of billions of dollars, which is more than the total annual military expenditure of some forces.

The reality is cruel. Facing the target spacecraft, Ugly Eagle's more than ten years of space investment seems so powerless.

At this point, there wasn't much they could do.

VSA-224 reconnaissance satellite, the technical details on the satellite are directly related to Ugly Eagle Defense.

Stopping losses in time has become something they must consider.

"Help me contact the Pentagon Building, immediately, right now."

The current situation has exceeded the decision-making authority of him as the deputy commander.

In just a dozen seconds, the decision was made from the Pentagonal Building.

"receive."

After hanging up the phone, the deputy commander shouted to the engineer in charge of satellite terminal control at the front.

"Delete all data on the VSA-224 computer and uninstall confidential programs!"

"We must not let these things fall into the hands of the other party! Quick!"

"time is limited."

After the deputy commander gave the order, everyone started moving, except for the engineer who was monitoring the satellite's power output to buy time for others.

The complexity of the satellite system design of a reconnaissance satellite costing $50 billion is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary computer terminal.

The engineers were a little flustered as they wanted to delete all the data in the satellite terminal.

They have never performed similar work tasks in their previous careers.

The data and programs stored in the satellite terminal could not be deleted in batches for the time being.

"The spacecraft has 25 seconds left to approach the satellite."

An engineer in the operations room sounded the alarm at the right moment.

Everyone is racing against time. The advanced reconnaissance satellite costing $50 billion cannot be saved, and information security cannot afford to make any more mistakes.

"13 seconds!"

"Damn it! There is still one-third of the reconnaissance data that has not been deleted. Hurry!"

"Where are the secret programs and algorithms? Quick."

"5 seconds!"

When the monitoring engineer reported the time of 5 seconds, the person in charge of operating the computer in the operations room broke out in sweat.

The speed at which my ten fingers danced on the keyboard broke everyone's record, and every second was precious.

"The reconnaissance shooting data has been deleted!"

"Good! The program is good."

Dudu! Dudu! Dudu!

A shrill alarm sounded in the operations room. The deputy commander had just asked a question when he noticed big red alarms flashing on several monitors in the room.

"Satellite destroyed! Alert!"

"Satellite destroyed! Alert!"

"VSA-224 reconnaissance satellite signal lost"

The operations room suddenly fell silent; the satellite was gone!
The Ugly Eagle advanced reconnaissance satellite was destroyed, and the forces on Blue Planet with observation capabilities received the intelligence at the first time.

The satellite attack occurred at an altitude of 290 km, which is beyond the comprehension and common sense of most humans.

Ugly Eagle, the absolute number one in human aerospace industry, had a high-value satellite destroyed by attacks from other forces, and was completely unable to fight back in the process.

At this moment, all the major space powers on the blue planet fell silent.

The world is about to change.

At the University of Tokyo, I was looking at the space orbital object monitoring report displayed on the big screen.

5 seconds ago, the Red Star black aircraft collided with the Ugly Eagle VSA-224 satellite, and the target disintegrated!
Todai observed the emergence of no less than three new observation targets.

"Send a message to Red Star immediately to confirm that Red Star is safe!"

The safety of Red Star is more important to Dongda than letting the VSA-224 satellite disintegrate.

The satellite communication process was very fast, and an engineer reported loudly:

"Red Star reported that everything was normal and the satellite had disintegrated."

Tang Wu let out a long sigh, and joy finally showed on his face.

The VSA-224 reconnaissance satellite was launched a few years ago and has been shooting at the Dongda area.

Dongda has been fed up with this satellite for a long time, and today justice has finally come from heaven and forced this satellite to retire early.

"Well done!"

Inside the secret command room, other engineers smiled simultaneously.

There are only a small number of people involved in this mission, and each person has been carefully selected to ensure that the mission will not be leaked.

The first surprise or shock after joining the group was that the black aircraft actually maintained a cooperative relationship with our company!
When they learned this information, their first reaction was disbelief!
The black aircraft is obviously a flying equipment that exceeds the level of contemporary human technology. How could Todai be related to it?
After passing messages to each other several times, the familiar Chinese content made the engineers understand that there must be a shocking secret!
"Report! Red Star Feedback will continue to attack VSA-237 satellite."

It was so easy to disintegrate a satellite of Ugly Eagle. Tang Wu had no doubt at all about Red Star's ability to complete the attack mission.

"Continue to provide intelligence support!"

After the first time, Tang Wu believed that the following process would definitely go very smoothly.

The red stars in space are busy, and Dongda University will not be idle either.

"Notify the Nanhai Fleet to get ready!"

"Wait for my order, rush aboard the broken ship! Control all the monkeys on the ship in the shortest possible time!"

There was a commotion in the sky and everyone was paying attention. Dongda must not fall behind in its plans.

The reason why Hongxing has been busy for so long is just to gain space and time for Dongda.
-
A red alert appeared again on the control room display. The VSA-237 reconnaissance satellite disintegrated after colliding with the target aircraft!

The second advanced satellite is destroyed! -
50 billion dollars!
Today, Ugly Eagle’s cumulative losses are close to 200 billion US dollars!
"Damn it! We have to negotiate with the other side!"

"Our satellites are like vases hanging in the sky, which will break if they are touched by the other side." "Tell me, gentlemen, what can we do?"

Two satellites were attacked and disintegrated in succession, and the deputy commander himself fell into frenzy.

They were unable to do anything about what was happening before their eyes.

Everyone else in the operations room was silent, and no one could give an answer at this time.

Who to negotiate with?
They simply cannot establish a communication channel with each other!
"Deputy Commander, the Pentagon Building requires you to answer the phone."

A lieutenant soldier ran up to the deputy commander and carefully informed him.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the lieutenant soldier. Stimulated by the feeling of powerlessness, the deputy commander was furious.

"Take it for me! Now!"

In orbit 421km high, Wei Jiang looked at the satellite wreckage that was cut into two halves by the manta ray's wings.

The main body of the Ugly Eagle reconnaissance satellite is cylindrical in shape, with a diameter of about 3 meters, and a solar wing attached to each side of the cylinder.

Wei Jiang took a lot of photos while destroying the satellite.

Wei Jiang sent these photos to Tang Wu via the East China University of Technology's military communications satellite.

The Dongda military should be able to use these photos. It is necessary for Dongda's current satellite industry to learn from the Ugly Eagle's satellite design.

In other words, the Dark Star battle suit he was wearing could not protect Wei Jiang's body in space, otherwise Wei Jiang really wanted to dismantle some things from these satellites and take them back.

Didi Didi~

When he heard the prompt tone, Wei Jiang realized that it was already 5 a.m. Dongda time.

Wei Jiang looked down at the blue planet below the orbit. The chicken head of the East China Sea had just crossed the terminator and entered the sunlight side.

It’s almost dawn at Dongda University.

Of the 23 satellite orbit data displayed on the Manta Ray cockpit screen, five have turned gray.

Wei Jiang's work over the past two hours was successful in destroying 5 satellites.

Hunting the target in the planetary orbit had a very large range, and Wei Jiang did not waste any of the more than two hours.

The orbits of the Ugly Eagle's reconnaissance satellites vary greatly. In addition, the Ugly Eagle intentionally controls the satellites to avoid them, so it is difficult for the manta ray to achieve the same destructive efficiency as when attacking fighter jets in the atmosphere.

"It's time to go back and catch up on some sleep. I'm hungry."

"Continue tonight."

Ignoring the disintegrating Ugly Eagle satellite behind it, the Manta Ray dived nose down towards the blue planet.

In Nansha, Nanhai, several Dongda law enforcement ships sailed to Airen Atoll.

As the dawn sun began to appear in the eastern sky, more than a dozen motorboats were lowered into the sea.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen motorboats started their motors, and the buzzing sound became one.

The motorboats spread out and rushed from multiple directions towards the rusty, broken ship in front of them.

The hum of the motorboat's engine had already alerted the people in the broken boat.

Amidst the shouting and yelling, someone was yelling something inside the boat.

When the motorboat rushed to within 100 meters of the wreck, gunshots were heard on the wreck!

Biabiabia! Shooting!

"Charge! Never mind!"

The shooters inside the broken boat were pointing their guns at the sea, and their shots were fired more to warn and drive away.

Unlike in the past, today the dozen or so motorboats were not scared at all by the gunfire and were sailing at a very fast speed.

After more than ten seconds, the motorboat surrounded the wreck.

"Ah! Gah! Yahaluga!"

The people in the broken boat were shouting something in a mess, but the Dongda soldiers on the motorboat didn't care what they were saying.

Their mission today was only one: board the wrecked ship and disarm and arrest these people!

Threats and injuries are not within their scope of concern.

"on!"

"If they dare to shoot, kill them!"

The captain in command was not a coward at all.

They have the numbers, and there are several Dongda ships on the sea not far away to provide back-up.

If they still cannot complete the combat mission, these veterans feel ashamed to go back and see their comrades and leaders.

The boarding process was not smooth, and the people in the broken ship did not surrender easily.

The sky grew brighter and brighter, and gunshots finally rang out.

A fierce conflict arose.
-
The appearance of the savior caused Blue Star's already difficult-to-calm anger towards Little Hat to begin to explode.

People finally saw the hope of victory. From today on, in addition to the power of words, they also had armed forces standing on their side.

The wave swept the world, and the videos of the saviors and messengers spread across the blue planet and became legends.

The little girl Heidi suddenly transformed herself into a saint blessed by the savior.

Her life trajectory was changed, with so many local people surrounding her, taking care of her and protecting her.

Wei Jiang got up at noon and saw the news while resting on a chair by the swimming pool.

What happened at night temporarily froze the conflict in the area, giving the locals a chance to catch their breath.

Wei Jiang even saw photos on the Internet of a reporter interviewing the little girl Heidi.

Of course, another shocking news attracted more attention on the Internet.

A large number of fighter planes of the Ugly Eagle faction were wiped out, and the sky of the Blue Star changed!

The number one military force on Blue Planet suffered a disastrous defeat in public!

ding dong~

Wei Jiang saw a text message from an unfamiliar number. He clicked on it and found that it was a message from Tang Wu forwarded by Wuling's vehicle terminal.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"I have two things to inform you of. The Ugly Eagle held a press conference this morning. They made it known internationally that they sincerely hope to start negotiations with the parties involved in the aircraft."

Wei Jiang grinned and thought that whether to negotiate should be decided by Tang Wu.

Tang Wu told him the news, obviously intending to continue hiding behind the scenes, so negotiations were naturally impossible.

".Last night, we conducted a cleanup operation in Nanhai and towed away a broken ship that had run aground illegally. All this was thanks to your efforts."

Frowning after reading the second half of the message, Wei Jiang opened the subsequent browser and searched for keywords.

There are a lot of news about the shipwreck in the South China Sea, and there have been related news reports going back many years.

Wei Jiang could not find any news released today.

“Shouldn’t such good things be publicized?”

“The authorities want to keep a low profile?”

While he was sighing, he saw on Weibo that the Nanbu War Zone account had posted a message two hours ago, answering Wei Jiang's doubts.

"We must protect the marine environment and eliminate pollution!"

This fits Wei Jiang's stereotype of official military new media: they never speak explicitly and always keep half of what they say secret.

After confirming what Tang Wu said, Wei Jiang searched for related news on the Internet, but still could not find any relevant latest developments.

"Fei Houzi also handled it in a low-key manner?"

"You've accepted this grievance?"

Fei Houzi's performance is completely different from what it was some time ago.

Before, they wished that everyone in the world knew that they had friction with Todai.

I got really humiliated today and ended up being speechless.

"Humph! Clown."

After a few sarcastic remarks, Wei Jiang saw his father pushing a wheelchair from outside the villa.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

"I have something to do tonight and I have to go out."
