Chapter 547 There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!
Furry Bear Country.
Federal Space Agency, inside the conference room.
Director Perry sat at the head of the conference table, holding his chin with one hand, looking around and asked.
"Three days have passed, and we still haven't found out why our satellite lost contact?"
Three days ago.
The eight satellites in orbit were operating normally when they suddenly lost contact and no news has been heard since then.
Until now, there is still no news.
The staff present all lowered their heads.
Someone answered with a lack of confidence.
"Reporting to Director Perry, since we are unable to contact these satellites, we do not know their specific status at the moment."
"So... up to now, it is still unclear whether these satellites were attacked by unknown forces or by anti-satellite weapons from other countries."
The incident happened so suddenly that they had no time to react.
By the time the emergency response was completed, these satellites had already lost contact.
They tried every possible means, but to no avail.
Even now, there is still no news.
In fact, many people present knew that these satellites had probably been destroyed long ago.
As for why it was destroyed...
Perry looked at the person who spoke and his voice deepened.
"Unknown attack?"
"What? Do you think aliens attacked our satellite?"
The crowd was speechless.
Alien attack?
Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, it is clear that other factors are more likely.
For example, the United States!
said Losev, director of the FAA's Satellite Safety Division.
"Director Perry, the Federal Intelligence Agency has previously discovered that NASA has established a special department in the United States, but has not disclosed it to the outside world."
"At the same time, when President Putin visited Dragon Country, the Federal Intelligence Agency exchanged some intelligence with the Dragon Country Special Security Agency."
"According to the people from Longguo Special Security Agency, NASA established a special research team on anti-satellite weapons a long time ago."
"If they have been investing a lot of manpower and material resources in research over the years, it is estimated that some results have been achieved."
"So, this time our satellites and Dragon Country's satellites were attacked by unknown entities. It is very likely that it was caused by Eagle Country's anti-satellite weapons!"
Losev has been under a lot of pressure these days.
As soon as the Federal Aviation Administration's satellite was attacked, the satellite security department immediately activated the emergency plan and conducted a comprehensive investigation into the cause.
But what is regrettable is that.
There has been no result.
This morning they contacted the Dragon Kingdom and exchanged some information.
Regarding the satellite attack, both sides pointed the finger at the United States.
Perry looked at Lozev and his expression improved a little.
"There is some news after all."
"In fact, everyone should know that the countries that most want our satellites to be destroyed are just those few countries."
"And the only country that possesses such strength is the United States."
He sat back in his seat, looking very heavy.
"We had expected that the United States was secretly developing anti-satellite weapons, but we did not expect that their progress would be so fast."
"It's only been a few years, and they have been able to attack our satellites without anyone noticing."
Attacking a satellite is not as simple as hitting a target with a land-based missile.
Although the orbits of satellites launched into space are fixed, space is too vast. In order to accurately capture a satellite, it is necessary to track it in real time and carry out precise strikes.
The difficulty involved is extremely great.
At least……
The Bear Country is currently unable to achieve such precision.
Come to your senses.
Perry asked.
"Minister Lozev, does the Satellite Security Department have any countermeasures to counter the enemy's attack?"
This was an attack from the other side, that's for sure.
Having tasted the sweetness, the United States will inevitably carry out such an operation again at some point in the future.
How to prevent their second attack is the first thing to be solved.
Luo Zefu's face looked a little ugly and he shook his head.
"I'm so sorry, Chief Perry."
"Although the Federal Aviation Administration is also conducting research on anti-satellite weapons, the progress is not smooth."
"If you want to easily counter the opponent's attack, I'm afraid..."
The Federal Aviation Administration did develop an anti-satellite weapon, but the test results were not ideal.
Not only is it impossible to accurately hit satellites in orbit, but the deviation is also significant.
Perry sighed.
"It's a pity that the previous technology was lost. Otherwise, the anti-satellite weapon technology we have now must be more advanced than that of the United States."
Back in the fifties.
The Russian Empire launched a satellite carrying anti-satellite weapons into space and successfully detonated it.
The fragments of the explosion successfully destroyed the established satellite, damaged the components on the satellite, and caused the satellite to cease working.
But later on, the country was divided due to internal strife and external struggles.
This technology disappeared for some unknown reason, resulting in a direct gap in this field for the Bear Country.
After thinking for a long time, Perry gave the order.
“Increase investment in anti-satellite weapons and recruit more talents for research.”
"Although we are far behind the United States, we cannot give up catching up."
"In addition, we will focus more on some major satellites. We will strengthen vigilance and conduct multi-faceted monitoring."
"For the remaining less important satellites, manpower can be reduced. Also, some of the work of these satellites can be transferred to the main satellites."
This is also a helpless move.
The Eagle Country is in the dark, while they are in the light.
No one can tell when their next attack will be.
All they can do is protect those vital satellites as much as possible!
Of course.
If the United States really chooses to attack the military satellites of the Bear Country, it would be tantamount to declaring war directly on the Bear Country.
By that time.
The Bear Country doesn't need to hide anymore...
Lozev nodded and agreed.
But at the same time, he asked again.
"Director Perry, now that our satellites and Dragon Country's are both under attack from Eagle Country, we are in the same camp. Why don't we cooperate with Dragon Country?"
"Their development in aviation over the years is obvious to all. They have rich experience and advanced technology."
"Maybe they have a solution?"
In the past, the Dragon Country could not even compare to the Sakura Country in the field of space.
but now.
They have satellites launched one after another and they also have their own space station.
Due to various reasons, the Russian Bear Country has shown a slight decline in this field in recent years.
If we can cooperate with Longguo and concentrate our efforts on major tasks, the research and development of anti-satellite weapons may be smoother.
Never thought.
Perry shook his head and sneered.
"Longguo's aerospace is indeed developing rapidly, but they are far inferior to us in anti-satellite weapons."
"Not only is there no relevant experience to draw on, there is not even the opportunity to set foot in this field."
"By cooperating with them, do we want them to steal our technology?"
"Lozev, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests..."
