Chapter 1207 Laser Anti-Satellite Experiment and Space-Based Weapons

It is approaching the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival travel has already started.

The Spring Festival travel, also known as the Spring Festival transportation, is a large-scale high transportation pressure phenomenon that occurs in China around the Spring Festival. It is centered on the Spring Festival and lasts for about 40 days, from the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 25th day of the first lunar month of the following year.

Some migrant workers return home for the Spring Festival, while others travel during the Spring Festival.

With the changing times, not everyone spends the Spring Festival at home, and traveling has become a fashion trend of the times.

The Spring Festival was also officially turned into a peak tourist season at the turn of the millennium.

Most of the people who choose to travel are urban residents.

The business of various tourist attractions and tourist cities will be much better during the Spring Festival than usual.

The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River is a national 5A-level tourist attraction rated by the National Tourism Administration.

Traveling along the Yangtze River has become a golden waterway for tourism.

The laser cannon base, where air defense forces are stationed.

Unlike other air defense forces that use air defense missiles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the air defense forces here use laser cannons, which are specifically used to fight against satellites, ballistic missiles, and high-altitude flying objects.

Even high-speed objects such as satellites and ballistic missiles can be countered, let alone aircraft.

As early as December, this laser cannon base had been built and deployed with 12 laser cannons, each with a 360° rotation function.

At this time, in the command and operations room, technicians were inputting parameters.

On the large screen, the trajectory of a satellite is displayed at any time, with a red dot flashing continuously and a trajectory drawn.

All operating parameters are fixed.

This satellite is an experimental satellite launched in the 1980s and has long exceeded its service life.

"Launch!"

Following the order from Beijing, the commander of the laser cannon base issued a combat order.

As the technician pressed the red button.

A laser cannon emitted a dazzling laser beam, and in just a few seconds, the experimental satellite in space was destroyed.

In the air, another satellite took photos of the destruction of the experimental satellite.

Soon, the photos were transmitted back to the ground control center.

At the Southwest Ground Control Center, Liu Tao looked at the photos and nodded slightly.

This also means that these laser cannons have the ability to destroy any artificial satellite, space station, space shuttle, and spacecraft in space.

Since even satellites can be countered, ballistic missiles and high-altitude flying objects are even more out of the question.

I think today's anti-satellite experiment will make some hot-headed people calm down.

In the past, nuclear balance ensured mutual destruction, but now it is not necessarily the case.

I can destroy you, but you may not be able to destroy me!

This is a huge advantage!

Liu Tao is still very satisfied with the test results of the laser cannon.

Some satellites in space that have passed their service life can also be used to train the air defense forces of the laser cannon base and increase practical experience.

At this time, tourists who were visiting the Three Gorges Dam and taking pictures and enjoying the natural scenery in the Three Gorges waterway suddenly saw a beam of light appear in the sky. The beam was so dazzling that it shocked everyone even for a few seconds.

Some tourists even took photos and shared them on WeChat Moments, online forums, and social networking sites.

Soon, the news spread all over the world.

For a moment, the world seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

Even some American soldiers who were about to go berserk seemed much calmer.

Wenchang Launch Site, Qiong Province.

The Long March 5 carrier rocket stood upright on the launch pad.

In the distance, countless tourists were waiting to witness the launch site.

The Wenchang Space Launch Site will announce the launch mission two months in advance. As long as there is no temporary emergency, such as typhoon days, the launch mission will be carried out on time.

This is also a major feature of Wenchang tourism.

To travel to Wenchang is to eat Wenchang coconut chicken hot pot and watch the space launch.

At this time when the Chinese New Year is approaching, most of the people who come to Qiong Island for tourism are from the north.

Qiong Island, because there are many people from the northeast living on Qiong Island, Qiong Island is also called the fourth province of the northeast.

At this time, Liu Tao personally came to the Wenchang Space Launch Site and looked at the tall Long March 5 carrier rocket.

To be precise, it should be the satellite carried on it.

It was announced that this is a resource exploration satellite, but in fact, this satellite weighs 25 tons and is equipped with laser weapons.

This is a space-based weapon to be deployed in space, that is, a space weapon.

This is not the first time that space-based weapons have been deployed, but missiles were deployed in the past, and this time laser weapons are deployed.

Space weapons include weapons for space attacks and weapons for attacking space. The former refers to weapons deployed, used and launched in space, regardless of whether their attack targets are the atmosphere of space or the ground; the latter refers to weapons that attack targets operating in space or passing through space, regardless of whether they are launched on land, at sea or from the air.

And this space-based weapon is equipped with a laser weapon, which is both a space attack weapon and a weapon for attacking space.

It can be used to intercept launched ballistic missiles, take-off aircraft, and destroy enemy satellites in space.

This is part of China's national strategic defense system, which includes land laser cannon bases, sea-borne ship-borne laser cannons, airborne airborne laser cannons, and space-based laser weapons in space.

It is expected that China's national strategic defense system will be built in 20 years.

And because of the special nature of space-based laser weapons, this satellite uses a large number of new materials to ensure that the satellite can serve in space for 35 years.

Finally, it's time to launch.

As the countdown continued, when the countdown reached "1", the launch commander shouted "ignition", and the Long March 5 carrier rocket ignited, like an earthquake, and the huge thrust pushed the Long March 5 carrier rocket into space.

This launch scene is very spectacular, making people excited and excited!

The launch site has become a beautiful landscape, which is not just based on publicity, but is really exciting.

Even if the whole process is so short, it is worth waiting for a day or two, just for the shock of the moment.

When the Long March 5 carrier rocket was about to launch for 30 minutes, the star and rocket separated, and the satellite entered orbit.

This also means that the launch mission was a complete success.

After the satellite enters orbit, the control of the satellite will be handed over to the relevant departments.

Liu Tao did not stay in Qiongzhou for long. That night, he took a special plane and took off directly from Wenchang Space Launch Center to Beijing.

The plane landed at Beijing Airport, and then he took a special car back to the courtyard.

This year, he will spend the Spring Festival in Beijing, and will not start working until the seventh day of the first lunar month. Of course, there are some activities that require him to participate in during this period. (End of this chapter)
