Chapter 385 Listen to me, thank you

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Jane hurriedly entered the operating instructions, but she was shocked to find that all the instructions she gave were like mud cows sinking into the sea, and all sank into the vast space, but the thousands of Starlink satellites did not respond at all.

Even after she entered the final emergency stop command, the satellite kept its orbit-changing motors on, and slowly but surely deviated from the planned orbit.

"What exactly is going on!?"

Jane hysterically yelled at James beside him. The latter did not answer, but immediately resumed the communication between the sky and the ground, and began to calmly report the situation to the ground in cipher text.

What he reported was simple:
All space-based units, including but not limited to Starlink satellites, are completely out of control.

How exactly is this done?
Logically speaking, even if the other party cracked their own ciphertext, or even interfered with the operation command signal, such an effect would never be achieved.

Thousands of Starlink satellites need to be controlled at the same time, which cannot be achieved by simply interfering with and tampering with instructions. What it needs is a complete set of systems, and even the operation fitting model is unique.

Yes, the other party may be able to individually influence one or two satellites, or control dozens or hundreds of satellites, but without an operating system, it is impossible for them to achieve unified scheduling of the entire Starlink system.

It was almost like some kind of miracle.

James stared numbly at the signal display on the screen, and after a while, he suddenly realized.

The trajectory of those satellites is almost exactly the same as the trajectory after they issued the first operation command.

The other party did not interfere with the operation instructions at all.

They just intercepted their own instructions, and after using a certain method to deceive the system, they reissued the instructions that had already been executed.

But now, our own side has nothing to do about it—even if the control of the Starlink satellite is restored, who can guarantee that after the next command is issued, the operating data in it will not double again?

"Contact the ground."

James sighed helplessly.

"There is no need to continue to struggle. This is not a problem we can solve. We must communicate directly with each other."

"What do you mean? You mean we have to admit defeat??"

Jane looked at James in astonishment, who nodded and replied:
"At least they just doubled the data. If it is tripled, probably now, 80% of the Starlink satellites have crashed."

"We had to throw in the towel because we didn't even know how they did it."

"But."

"All right."

James interrupted Jane's rebuttal, and asked simply and directly:

"Other than that, do you have any other way?"

Tiangong space station, Tianhe core module.

Looking at the Starlink satellites gradually going away, Luo Yaping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two hours, they experienced the most tense moment since entering the space station.

The three Starlink satellites are approaching, and the orbital distance is only more than ten kilometers. As long as there is a little carelessness, the satellite and the space station will collide, thus completely destroying the space station that has condensed countless efforts.

They have already made all the preparations for the orbit change. As long as they enter the final time window and the situation has not changed, they will implement an emergency orbit change to avoid those satellites that obviously carry malicious intent.

But fortunately, the final result was within the expectations of the headquarters.

For some reason that cannot be discussed publicly, Ugly country's satellite actively avoided its own orbit, and it can even be said that it avoided its own space station far away with an extremely exaggerated maneuver.

"This time it's really a bit thrilling. The last opportunity to change orbit has already entered the time window. We should discuss with the headquarters and prepare in advance next time. The fault tolerance rate of this operation method is too low."

Hearing Luo Yaping's words, Ye Fuguang, who was sitting opposite, nodded slightly, and replied:

“After all, it’s the first operation, so it’s normal to be a little tight on time. After optimizing the process, the operation delay should be reduced to less than 20 minutes. By then, our fault tolerance rate will be greatly improved. "

"That's what I said, but I always feel that it's a bit risky. I can't completely control the situation in my own hands. After all, I still don't feel at ease."

Ye Fuguang gave him a funny look, and asked back:

"Take the situation completely into your own hands? Do you really treat other people's Starlink as your own? It's not bad to be able to do so."

"Think about our situation in the past? Their satellites just flew over in such a daze, and they ignored you when you communicated with them, and confronted them head-on? They are not afraid at all."

"Yes, they are just a satellite, if they collide, they will collide. We are a space station! Can we compete with them?"

"Aggrieved, like a rascal!"

"Before we thought about it, or we could just use a missile to shoot them down, but we can only think about it, and we can't shoot it."

"Because a dozen is equivalent to a declaration of war."

"What about now? Hey, what does it have to do with us that you changed your course?"

"Moreover, the current method of operation is the safest. No matter how hard we check, we won't be able to find out - we haven't changed the data!"

Having said that, Ye Fuguang smiled triumphantly and unpacked the heated pork rice with preserved vegetables in front of him, and carefully scooped up the food with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

He dared not speak while eating, otherwise food debris would fly into the living cabin, even if it had no negative impact on the equipment, it would pollute the living environment of the space station.

After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, he continued to speak:
"Let me tell you, the command will definitely let us stop the jamming later——we should delay for a while until all the fuel for their satellite's reorientation engine is exhausted before we stop."

"In the future, they will launch a batch, and we will interfere with a batch, turning all those satellites into waste, and see if they still do it!"

Hearing this, Luo Yaping said helplessly:

"Obey the order, obey the order, Brother Ye! Besides, who said we did it? You can keep in mind the external caliber. Their orbital accident this time is entirely due to a problem with their own system."

"Ham, I know, I'm an old comrade, don't you understand this? Isn't this just chatting and complaining among ourselves?"

While talking, Ye Fuguang ate the rice bowl in threes and fives, and after he packed the remaining garbage in a special storage bag, the communication system of the space station just received a communication message from the headquarters and Dragon spacecraft at the same time .

The content of the former is very simple, only one text:
"Cooperate with the Dragon spacecraft and the opponent's ground command system to resume Starlink operations."

The latter is a real-time call application.

Luo Yaping glanced at Ye Fuguang, and after seeing the other party nodding, she turned on the communicator and connected to the communication with Dragon Spacecraft through the public channel.

"Hello, this is Huaxia Space Station, Tiangong-[-]."

"This is the Ugly Dragon spacecraft. Have you received the notification from your command system?"

Luo Yaping paused for a moment, then said:

"We have been notified that our command has instructed us to do our best to assist you in restoring control of the Starlink system. What help do you need?"

Hearing this, Jane on the dragon spacecraft was already distorted with anger.

How can I help you?Don't you know what help we need?

Turning off your goddamn interference system is doing us the greatest favor!
But she couldn't express this idea directly, because in the previous communication with her own command, she had fully understood the current situation.

The other party did not leave any evidence, and the whole matter was handled cleanly, as if the orbit change accident of the Starlink system was really caused by the improper operation of one's own side.

It is impossible for them to admit that they have moved their hands and feet, and their own side cannot ask.

Because that is equivalent to completely exposing one's own weaknesses to the public.

Jane took a deep breath, suppressed the intense and turbulent emotions in her heart, and said:
"We need to use your system to perform navigation calculations on the Starlink satellites, and feed back the navigation data to us to readjust the orbit and attitude of the satellites. Please cooperate."

"understood."

Luo Yaping replied succinctly.

"Within half an hour."

Jane’s tone was a little blunt, but she still controlled her emotions.

Just as she was about to hang up the communication, Luo Yaping's voice suddenly came from the earphone.

"and many more!"

"Anything else?"

"Did you forget something?"

The other party's voice was brisk and indifferent. This tone seemed to be no different from myself a few days ago.

Jane was taken aback for a moment, then asked:
"Forgot what?"

"Forgot to say thank you to us. We have helped you so much, shouldn't you thank you?"

"."

Jane's fist was clenched instantly, and she looked distortedly at James, who calmly took over the microphone of the communicator, took a deep breath, and said in an extremely sincere tone:

"Thank you, Tiangong-[-]."
