The orbital space station’s counterattack!
Chapter 1331 The orbital space station’s counterattack!
"Location 0200, coordinates 176, quantity 36, type A1, threat: high!"
In the orbital elevator, the low-Earth orbit space station, and the orbital control and command center, the sound of CIC's rapid report was heard.
Deng Hai.
This East Asian Republic soldier, who was once the garrison commander of the L4 industrial colony satellite, has now been promoted to the commander of the orbital elevator low-Earth orbit space station garrison, responsible for ensuring the safe operation of the orbital elevator and the defense of the surrounding environment.
Deng Hai, sitting firmly on the command platform, was looking calmly at the red alert displayed on the main screen.
Just before the red alarm sounded, the warning from the orbital elevator island city had already been delivered to him.
"The performance of the Niyu team far exceeded our expectations."
Deng Hai nodded slightly and then gave the order.
"Activate the laser matrix and execute command B!"
"Understood! Activate the laser matrix, command B to activate the program and start injection!"
As the command programs pre-loaded in the system were activated by the key, a series of seemingly inconspicuous but actually lethal means of defending against any enemy intending to attack the orbital elevator and the orbital space station were quickly deployed on the three counterweight rings located below the low-Earth orbit space station and below its orbit - the laser matrix!
As we all know, in the air environment below the atmosphere, lasers will show signs of attenuation of power and reduced penetration due to various factors. However, if the laser is used in a space environment where there are not many impurities, it can be transformed into a very effective killing method.
The only drawback is the large-scale energy consumption required by laser weapons, which has prevented them from being used on a large scale.
However, in today's environment where solar power generation systems have been successfully manufactured and put into use, this threshold has quietly disappeared, allowing the East Asian Republic, which is looking for technical means to maximize the full utilization of the huge energy provided by the solar power generation system and ensure the safety of the orbital elevator, to suddenly notice this theoretical technology that has quietly become ready for large-scale use.
Therefore, in the process of gradually improving the orbital elevator, the Solar Energy Construction Alliance headed by the East Asian Republic and Orb did not hesitate to adopt the laser matrix as one of the defense methods to protect the orbital elevator and solar power generation system.
Under the rapidly opening baffles were bright and clear mirrors that served as laser matrix emission units.
Activated by the key, these mirrors quickly execute the shooting program, locking onto all the submarine-launched missiles that break out of the atmosphere, enter the re-entry phase, and attack the orbital elevators and relay segments.
"Laser matrix, lock completed! Please give the order!"
The weapons controller shouted out instructions.
"shooting!"
Deng Hai said in a deep voice.
During the last war, the orbital space station had been attacked by the enemy.
Since then, no matter what the reason, the East Asian Republic has been extremely concerned about the safety of orbital elevators and orbital space stations, and has specially promoted a number of technical teams to specialize in how to maximize the protection of orbital elevators, orbital space stations and solar power generation systems in various harsh environments in the future.
Now, the task is to verify whether the research conducted on these topics in recent years can achieve the expected results.
"Laser matrix, fire!!"
At Deng Hai's command, the light-transmitting mirrors suddenly burst out with high-energy rays that were either bright or invisible to the naked eye, covering the entire airspace where the orbital elevator and the relay segment were located.
Then, the aggressive submarine-launched missiles exploded in the sky like spring thunder, setting off waves of brilliant light, making the sky above the orbital space island city light up with bright, but then fading little suns. "Laser matrix. The first round of shooting is completed! The interception rate is 98%. The remaining missiles were intercepted by the repulsion shield, and the orbital elevator and relay section did not suffer any damage!"
the weapons controller shouted in surprise.
Although there are still a small number of missiles that cannot be intercepted, these missiles are simply unable to break through the orbital elevator and the relay section's last means of defense - the repulsion shield.
This is because the technical team of the East Asian Republic was studying the solar power generation system and discovered that when the orbital ring where the power generation system is located is in working condition, it will automatically generate a repulsive force that can push any debris from the outside world away from the operating orbit where the orbital ring is located.
Therefore, the excited technical team quickly studied and understood this discovery, and applied it to the orbital elevator and relay segment. Later, this new technology named repulsion shield became the ultimate means to protect the orbital elevator and relay segment outside the atmosphere (i.e., outer space above the Karman line).
Seeing that the defensive effects of the laser matrix and the repulsion shield were both verified, bursts of joyful shouts suddenly rang out in the command center of the low-Earth orbit space station.
"Concentrate! The crisis has not been resolved yet!"
Although Deng Hai felt a little happy, he remained calm and did not let down his guard.
According to the intelligence sent from the island city, the enemy's attacks are one after another.
He did not believe that the enemy's ultimate means would be to bomb the orbital elevator with missiles.
From the invaders who appeared in the island city and tried to create chaos, to the MS troops of unknown origin who suddenly appeared in the port, and finally to the disguised freighters and submarine fleets, all proved that the enemy was not simple.
Being able to gather such a large force and formulate such a huge battle plan without anyone noticing is definitely not something that those small mercenary forces can do.
"Order. Put the space station in synchronous orbit into full alert and pay attention to the movements in the surrounding space. Also, put the No. 1 turret into charging mode."
Deng Hai's order made the CIC and weapons controller stunned for a moment, and then they immediately took action.
Deng Hai noticed his subordinates' doubts, but did not explain. He just silently thought about the situation that might be encountered next.
From what we know so far, if the island city is not evacuated in time from the beginning and the entire city is not put on alert in a short period of time, then the invaders who sneak into the island city will inevitably be able to successfully create a considerable scale of chaos, causing the security department of the entire island city to fall into chaos.
Then, the MS troops that landed at the port marched straight in, as if they were in an empty city, and destroyed all the defense facilities of the island city with ease. They finally reached the control center of the orbital elevator, took control of the orbital elevator, and launched a destruction program.
of course.
The attackers also anticipated that the garrisons on the island cities would cause the situation to fall into a tug-of-war, so they deployed disguised freighters and submarine fleets in the open sea as a backup...
"Do not."
Deng Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, then turned gloomy.
"The disguised freighters and submarine fleet are not a backup plan, but part of the attack plan. Regardless of whether the battle on the island city is a tug-of-war, the disguised freighters and submarine fleet will inevitably launch an attack. So, what will be the attacker's backup plan?!"
Deng Hai's eyes subconsciously wandered around the main screen, and finally landed on a huge target that everyone seemed to have forgotten.
Junius No. 7!
Today is my grandma's birthday, so I came back late. I will update once for now. I will make it up tomorrow! Don't panic!!
