The atmosphere above the east coast of the United States, at an altitude of 230 kilometers.
The thrust reverser nozzle in front of the aerospace aircraft continuously sprays gas, and the thrust reverser slows down. In this thin atmosphere, the pearl-white aerospace plane flew over the coast of the United States and towards the Atlantic Ocean at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed.
Wei Cheng devoted himself to his best work and piloted this aerospace plane with no navigation, no signals, no guidance, no radar and no positioning.
He has confidence.
He was the first person to fly in the space shuttle since it came out of the factory.
noob.
This is the name he gave to this important weapon of the country.
"Since the real name and model are not revealed out of confidentiality, let's call it Xiaobai!"
This was what Wei Cheng said casually as a joke when he saw the aerospace plane for the first time. Unexpectedly, this name has continued like this.
Wei Cheng is the Dragon King's star astronaut and has carried out more than a dozen space missions. He has carried out all space missions except space excavation and has made great achievements.
It is precisely because of this, coupled with his superb piloting and flying skills, that he was selected by the country through many layers and eventually became the pilot of the Dragon Kingdom's first aerospace plane.
This is a unique honor.
at the same time.
It is also a unique responsibility.
He didn't know how many days and nights he spent in this narrow cockpit living with Xiaobai.
Depend on each other.
Xiaobai is the important responsibility and expectation given to him by the country.
Xiaobai is his life in Wei Cheng!
"Steady, Xiaobai."
Wei Cheng gritted his teeth and looked straight through the front glass of the aerospace plane, looking at the dark outer universe and the land, ocean, and clouds below that looked like plasticine watercolors.
As a professional astronaut and pilot.
Of course they have to undergo training in various extreme conditions, such as bad weather, loss of signal, no navigation, naked-eye flying, etc...
At the earliest, when pilots were recruited and trained in specialized academies, many students complained that training under extreme conditions such as weather or loss of navigation was understandable; but when all signals were lost and we were in outer space, all communications were lost. It is simply impossible for the terminal to malfunction, all satellites to go silent, and ground radio calls to be unavailable!
For any space mission, the country prepares and prepares again, simulates and simulates again, there is a backup plan after the backup plan, and there is a backup equipment after the backup equipment... This kind of complete loss of contact can only be accomplished with a pair of eyes. There's no point in training, it's just forcing people to do something difficult.
At that time...
What the instructor said to everyone is what he said to Gao Yang before this space mission:
"It is undeniable that 99% of the training we do now is redundant, just like the things you learned in your textbooks. Most of them look like they will be completely useless in life; the country will never need you. To calculate gravity, you don’t need to use alcohol lamps to prepare oxygen, and you don’t need to carry classical Chinese texts on your back on the battlefield.”
"However, life is inherently unknown. Who knows what will happen in the future? 99% of insurances in life are bought in vain, 99% of cautions are redundant, and 99% of physical examinations are false alarms. , 99% of household medicines will be expired..."
"But even so, why do we still do these things? Because what we need to prevent is the 1%!"
The instructor stretched out his index finger and looked around at everyone:
"Only 1% of the college students you recruited will eventually become pilots! And among these pilots, only 1% will eventually become astronauts! And the vast majority of astronauts in Dragon Kingdom will never become pilots in their lifetime. The chance of going to space is only 1% for astronauts who can actually go to space!”
"1%! 1%! 1%! If you don't work hard, you're not better than others, you're not better than others! Why do you become the 1%!"
Boom.
A shudder of recoil.
At an altitude of 210 kilometers, Weicheng's gaze is as bright as a torch! Staring at the dark universe and the blue earth!
He just works hard all the way!
Become one 1% after another! Became the only aerospace plane pilot in the entire Dragon Kingdom!
"I am the chosen one..."
Wei Cheng held the operating lever tightly:
"The only one too!"
call----
In the endless space.
In the farthest corner of the earth.
This aerospace plane, which had lost everything, flew towards the rising sun and the other side of the earth under Weicheng's determined eyes.
Fly towards.
Those outsiders who come from afar and do not belong to this world, this universe, this time and space.
…
Inside the equipment cabin.
Lin Xian, Huang Que, Gao Yang, and Chu Anqing stood in a circle.
"Liu Feng's space-time particle tracker can be used normally, so not only did we not lose the space-time particles, but we also have directional navigation. This has no impact on our original capture plan."
Huang Que turned his head and looked at Gao Yang:
--\u003e\u003e
"In another hour, we will meet space-time particles on the Atlantic Ocean border. It seems that the lowest speed of space-time particles is Mach 0.97, and it has not slowed down for a long, long time. This speed is very suitable for us. By then this speed will The spacecraft will also turn on its refrigerant engine and travel in parallel with space-time particles at a speed of Mach 0.97.”
"Then it's time for you to come into play, Gao Yang. We've been working hard for so long, and whether this plan will succeed in the end depends on whether you can use the rice cooker to capture the space-time particle."
Gao Yang nodded and gave a thumbs up, indicating that he was fine.
"You two."
Huang Que turned his head again and looked at Lin Xian and Chu Anqing:
"Lin Xian stood behind Gao Yang, assisting Gao Yang; An Qing stood in the passenger cabin, serving as the hub linking the equipment cabin and the cockpit. No matter what happened here or what happened over there, you would be contacted in time and responsible for running errands. "
Lin Xian and Chu Anqing also nodded.
Now, some time has passed since the accident in which all network communication equipment was lost. The aerospace plane operated smoothly under Weicheng's superb driving skills, which also made everyone feel relieved.
It seems that, as Huang Que said, for professional pilots and astronauts, this is just one of many emergencies, and there is no need to panic.
Lin Xian walked to Gao Yang's operating console, looked at the complicated operating lever, and supported the back of the seat.
What he is worried about now is not that Wei Cheng is not good enough.
But...
Kevin Walker.
Without VV's suppression of him, Kevin has become lawless in this era. Hijacking the X-37B American unmanned space plane in high-altitude orbit is like searching for something.
Will he interfere?
It will definitely come.
Huang Que knew this, but still acquiesced in VV's death and used VV's death as a guarantee for "refusing to return".
So, where does her confidence lie?
Is there still a back-up plan?
"Wait! What is that!"
Liu Feng's scream suddenly came from the cockpit.
He had been sitting next to Wei Cheng. In order not to interfere with Wei Cheng's concentration on driving, he never said anything during this period. He only reported the position and distance of the space-time particles to Wei Cheng at a fixed time.
Something was obviously wrong with that voice!
"What's wrong?"
Oriole walked over.
"Look at the sky! It's not...it's in the universe! In the space above us! There are countless shining things flying towards us!"
Everyone heard this.
They all leaned on the portholes or switched the cameras on the outside of the aerospace aircraft to project the images in.
"Fuck!!" Gao Yang's face turned pale!
"Oh my god... what is this?!" Chu Anqing was also shocked to the point of turning pale: "This... this is! Meteor shower!?"
"wrong."
Lin Xian looked at the monitor in front of him...
space.
In space higher than their altitude.
Back and forth, left and right!
Countless light points were approaching them quickly!
Too much……
As far as the eye can see, it looks like stars!
Hundreds and thousands!
Thousands!
These light spots are not ordinary light spots, they are very big...the head reflects the sun's rays, but the tail emits a strange blue light.
Seeing the familiar blue light, Lin Xian understood instantly:
"Argon electric Hall thruster! Because it is an ion flow of argon, it is blue. There is only one thing in the universe that can use so many argon electric Hall thrusters——"
"[Starlink Satellite!]"
He frowned.
It’s really a wave of ups and downs. Before I was thinking about how to guard against the aerospace plane hijacked by Kevin Walker, I didn’t expect that Jask’s Starlink satellite fell directly!
No wonder the reflected light just now looked so familiar. VV hijacked thousands of Starlink satellites at the World Hacking Competition and drew a five-pointed star for Chu Anqing in the sky.
And now!
Thousands of Starlink satellites are falling from the sky, trailing strange blue light! Hit their aerospace plane!
This is more frightening than the black clouds...
The stars are falling!
"What the hell! What's going on!"
When Gao Yang heard Lin Xian say that the Starlink satellite had fallen, he jumped up with a roar:
"You mean, the tens of thousands of Starlink satellites of the world's richest man fell down? How can you hide from this? This is too much! It's a saturation attack!"
"Quick, quick, get out of the way, let me see!"
Gao Yang used his body to push Lin Xian away and rubbed himself in front of the monitor.
On the monitor screen, the picture being taken by the camera on the top of the aerospace plane is displayed——
"Oh my god..."
Gao Yang was so shocked by this shocking scene that he was speechless.
The sky is filled with blue light! Starlink satellites filled the sky with blue light! It stared at him from high altitude and smashed it down fiercely!
There were at least thousands of satellites that fell, completely covering the entire space above the space plane!
This is the real big hand of blue light that blocks out the sky and the Five Fingers Mountain falling from the sky!
Let this little aerospace plane have nowhere to hide! No place to hide!
Now there are thousands of Starlink satellites falling at high speed, and the distance is very close, only dozens of kilometers away.
r\u003e But in front of the satellites falling at high speed, this distance is nothing. Even those satellites are still trying their best to accelerate, not stingy with fuel.
"Hide quickly!"
Gao Yang screamed:
"Hurry and hide, Brother Wei! If this thing is to be smashed down, we'll be doomed! There are so many Starlink satellites like fishing nets! If one of them hits us, we'll be doomed!"
"The scope is too broad!"
Wei Cheng looked up through the front windshield and saw that his face was also pale:
"The range is too wide! There is no way to avoid it! Our radars and scanners are all damaged! There is no way to avoid such a dense impact! And the speed of these satellites falling is really too fast! The speed is still accelerating! Like a shooting star!"
"No...even faster than meteors! They have propellers behind them to accelerate! It won't take long before they hit us at an altitude of 200 kilometers!"
"What... what to do! Senior Lin Xian!" Chu Anqing took a step back and took Lin Xian's arm.
She had just looked up through the porthole and was frightened.
Who would have thought that such a dense number of satellites would rush down and crash down.
That weird blue light is like the eyes of the god of death, and countless gods of death are falling from the sky!
"This...can't be avoided."
Liu Feng is a rigorous science student. He knows that at such a relative speed and such a dense satellite array, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a hail of bullets.
If Wei Cheng was given a radar, he believed that with Wei Cheng's technology, he would be able to avoid the falling satellites.
but!
Now this aerospace plane is blind!
Even though Wei Cheng is an ace pilot, he only has two eyes looking straight ahead, and he can't think about the future. Not to mention that these satellites were still smashed from the sky!
"I have a solution."
Lin Xian quickly ran into the cockpit and looked at Wei Cheng:
"Start the working fluid engine!"
"Now?"
Wei Cheng didn't raise his head, drove seriously, and asked:
"Lin Xian, at this distance, even if we turn on the refrigerant engine, we can't escape such a dense rain of satellites. More importantly, we are now in the deceleration stage. If we rashly turn on the engine to accelerate, our orbiting speed will It will increase again and will definitely miss the alpha substance at the 100km rendezvous point.”
"By then, if we slow down any further, it will be too late, and we will definitely miss the alpha substance!"
"No, not accelerating forward."
Lin Xian shook his head and pointed downward:
"[We accelerate downward and dive! Pull those satellites into the atmosphere!]"
Hearing Lin Xian's words.
Liu Feng suddenly realized:
"I understand! I understand! Lin Xian plans to drag the falling satellite into the atmosphere! The satellite is so fast, even if the atmosphere is very thin at 100 kilometers, but at such a fast speed, it will still be as atmospheric as a meteor Friction and burning!”
"I have studied [Meteor Showers]! I understand meteors very well! The height at which meteors generally burn is 80 kilometers to 140 kilometers! The vast majority of meteors have burned up or even disintegrated in the atmosphere at 80 kilometers!"
"As for something as fragile as the Starlink satellite, once it falls into the atmosphere at such a fast speed, it will burn up or disintegrate within a few dozen kilometers! It can only reach an altitude of 60 kilometers at most!"
"And don't look at how fast they are now. As soon as they enter the atmosphere and encounter air resistance, they will slow down quickly! They can't catch up with the aerospace plane that turns on the engine! As long as we fly the aerospace plane to dive to an altitude of 60 kilometers , it’s safe!”
"We don't need to avoid these Starlink satellites at all! Just like Lin Xian said, pull them into the atmosphere! Pull them into the dense atmosphere! Let them turn into [meteor showers]! Burn up above us!"
"Genius...Lin Xian! You are truly a genius!"
Liu Feng was so excited that he almost stood up, but the seat belt restrained him.
He said quickly:
"Although there is no way to merge with space-time particles at an altitude of 100 kilometers, it is the same at an altitude of 60 kilometers or 50 kilometers! Moreover, our aerospace plane has wings, which will be more flexible in the atmosphere, making it easier to capture. , it’s just a loss of capture time!”
"Commander Huang!" Wei Cheng shouted: "Please give instructions immediately!"
Huangque nodded:
"Do as Lin Xian says!"
boom----
Against the falling stars, the Xiaobai aerospace plane finally started its working medium engine.
A pillar of fire like a rocket shoots out from the tail.
The huge pushing feeling took everyone who had already sat back in the passenger cabin and dived towards the earth's atmosphere.
You chase me.
This is a race between a space shuttle and thousands of Starlink satellites.
"Altitude dropped! 180 kilometers... 150 kilometers... 120 kilometers... 100 kilometers... Breaking through the Karman Line! 90 kilometers! 80 kilometers! Our altitude continues to decrease!"
"The fallen Starlink satellites also entered the atmosphere and began to burn! The speed dropped sharply! Visual inspection shows that most of them have begun to disintegrate! Liu Feng and Lin Xian are right... Starlink satellites are far from as strong as meteors and will be resisted once they enter the atmosphere. Break up with the heat!”
Wei Cheng reported the altitude to everyone while piloting the aerospace plane.
At this time.
Chu Anqing and Lin Xian fastened their seat belts and pressed against the porthole, looking toward the sky.
"Wow……"
Chu Anqing was so shocked that she had nothing to say:
"This...this is--\u003e\u003e
A real meteor shower..."
Lin Xian lowered his head, leaned next to Chu Anqing, and looked up into the sky.
That is……
Countless blue shooting stars.
Densely packed, like rain!
This will be the largest meteor shower in human history and will never be surpassed...
The Starlink project that Jask, the world's richest man, had planned for several years and spent tens of billions of dollars to build, shattered at this moment and turned into an oil painting in the sky.
It turned into the most romantic and thrilling meteor shower in history.
Liu Feng raised his head in the cockpit.
stunned.
Watching the stars fall in the sky...
"Qiqi..."
His voice was choked.
Qiqi said that she would turn into a star, look at him on the stage, bless him, and wait for the day when his cosmological constant is recognized by the world.
Liu Feng clenched his fist tightly:
"I will."
…
At this time, the aerospace plane has circled half of the earth, passed through the sunlight zone, and reached the backside of the sun.
Earth at night.
People on the land raised their heads one after another, watching the miracle that they might not be able to see in the second act for billions of years.
The entire sky was filled with meteors.
Fireworks, blue, trailing, light.
The night of the earth in 4.5 billion years has never been as beautiful and shocking as it is today.
"The crisis is over!"
Wei Cheng laughed, as happy as if he had cleared a game:
"We did it, we actually did it! We——"
suddenly.
The smile froze on his face.
Pupils shaking...
Eyebrows twitching...
"Then, what is that!"
Everyone looked up.
I saw a huge fireball in the sky, dragging a tail like a rocket engine, rushing towards them accurately and ferociously!
high speed!
The direction is accurate!
There is no way to avoid this distance!
"It's an American aerospace plane!"
Wei Cheng shouted:
"X-37B!"
He was so familiar.
This is something that the Dragon Kingdom astronauts have been jealous of for a long time.
I have dreamed about it countless times in my dreams!
The Xiaobai aerospace plane manufactured by Longguo is aimed at the American X-37B!
But……
Why is this aerospace plane here?
Because all radars and scanners on the aerospace plane have been destroyed...
Therefore, we waited until the American aerospace plane rushed into view before we could observe it!
X-37B rushes in quickly!
Working fluid engine running at full speed!
Comes with navigation and steering!
Aim hard at their aerospace plane!
This distance and this speed!
root! Book! hide! No! Pass! go!
The huge fireball is about to rush over!
The distance and altitude are only a few kilometers away!
Wei Cheng firmly pulled the steering column and turned!
But the burning aerospace plane was also turning!
It's like a demon descending from the sky!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Another flash of light rushed up from below!
Straight as an arrow!
Travel like light!
The number of Mark rings ejected from behind the object... is enough to indicate that the speed of this unidentified object is close to breaking through the first cosmic speed!
"Rocket?"
Lin Xian stared at the shadow that flew by in an instant.
Can't be wrong.
That's a rocket!
And even though it was fleeting, he could still clearly see the fonts printed on the side of the rocket——
【Space-T】
"It's Jask's starship rocket!"
Wei Cheng shouted:
"Why is its rocket here! And the target is-"
boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
Just two or three kilometers ahead, a huge ball of light like the sun suddenly exploded in the sky!
Red light, black smoke, scattered parts!
The Jask rocket suddenly appeared like a missile! Directly hit the rampaging fireball and the American X-37B aerospace plane!
The violent explosion caused by the collision of the two blew away the nearby clouds!
The steering rod that Wei Cheng held tightly to was rushed out from the edge of the fire ball and the ruins in the sky under the huge centrifugal force!
everything.
Become calmer.
That ball of fire, the X-37B aerospace plane falling from the sky, the starship rocket that rose from the ground and shot out halfway...
They were all left behind by the aerospace plane.
Wei Cheng's whole body went limp, he held the steering column and lay back on the seat.
No one spoke in the radio channel, only heavy breathing... No one had recovered from the shocking space chase just now.
Lin Xian looked through the porthole and looked at the sky behind.
\u003c--\u003e\u003e
br\u003e The fire has disappeared.
The thick black smoke was gradually blown away by the wind.
The aerospace plane and rocket parts that had just exploded and disintegrated in the field of vision... no longer knew where they fell.
The whole sky was as quiet as ever.
like……
It's like nothing happened.
Lin Xian recalled inexplicably that at the science charity dinner, Jask stood up straight facing him, slowly raised his right hand and pointed to the sky:
"Mr. Lin."
Jask smiled, stretched out his index finger, and pointed straight at the sky:
"See you in heaven."
suddenly.
Liu Feng's eyes widened, and he stretched out his right hand suddenly, pointing to the dark space above:
"Lin Xian! Look -"
"[Space-time particles!!]"
