#315 - Space Law
United States, NASA Headquarters.
At this moment, in stark contrast to the jubilation at the Hive Laboratory, NASA in Washington was solemn.
"Dr. Connor, what are the results of the computer simulations?"
Charles, the director of NASA, had chocolate-colored skin. In this country with severe discrimination, his ability to reach such a high position was undeniable.
However, at this moment, the expression on Charles's face was very unsightly.
Dr. Connor heard the director's question and adjusted his glasses, saying, "According to the data from our computer simulations, this space station has a diameter of over 150 kilometers. If the internal ecological cycle system is complete, it is estimated that it can accommodate more than one million people."
"One million?"
Dr. Connor: "That's right, and that's our lowest estimate."
"Can they perfect the ecosystem? You know, our Biosphere project, which we put so much effort into, all failed."
Charles looked at the screen in front of him, which showed a rough 3D image of the Star Ring City.
Dr. Connor hesitated for a moment, "Director, we also don't have the ability to build a city in geosynchronous orbit!"
Hearing this, Charles glanced at Dr. Connor and sighed.
The entire Star Ring City used the optical stealth technology of the Hive Laboratory. Therefore, neither radar detection nor photography could see the space fortress in geosynchronous orbit. Unless Star Ring City actively exposed itself, no one could see it.
The model that NASA obtained was based on observations and simulations of the C-2 robots' work over a long period.
......
The White House.
After receiving the news from NASA, Trump convened another emergency meeting.
"Gentlemen, this is the latest news from NASA."
With that, Trump instructed his assistant to distribute a stack of documents.
The staff picked up the documents in front of them and looked at them carefully.
What is this? A model?
Although everyone was puzzled, no one took the initiative to ask.
"This is a city built in Earth's geosynchronous orbit!" Trump pointed to the top of his head, "It's right above our heads."
"How is that possible?"
"That's impossible, Mr. President!" One of the staff stood up to object, "According to the data on the documents, an artificial celestial body with a diameter of over 150 kilometers, even if we stand on Earth, we can see it with the naked eye."
Trump glanced at him and said lightly, "Sir, you asked a very good question."
He paused, "But, what if the people who built this city have stealth technology far beyond ours?"
"Pasa Islands?!"
Everyone instantly thought of this country and frowned.
"Mr. President," the chief of staff said in a deep voice, "Could this city be built by the Pasa Islands?"
"That's right, it's them!" Trump nodded.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
A city built in geosynchronous orbit, what kind of concept is this?
What's more, the city has a diameter of over 150 kilometers. Leaving aside the positions of both sides, this is simply a miracle in the history of human architecture.
The chief of staff pondered for a moment and looked at Trump, "Mr. President, even if we know that this space city was built by them, what can we do?
Congress has never been too supportive of space development projects. Every year, we invest a huge amount of money into NASA, but there is almost no return."
The chief of staff's meaning was very clear. Not to mention whether the United States could build a city in space.
Just proposing this plan would not be approved by Congress.
How much would it cost to build a city in space? Didn't you see that building a space station is still a joint effort of several countries?
How big is the International Space Station?
Less than a hundred tons. In other words, even compared to the Exploration-class armed transport ship, the International Space Station is far inferior, let alone compared to Star Ring City.
What is the concept of Star Ring City?
Putting the International Space Station in front of it is like putting a golf ball on a golf course, in fact, it is even smaller.
If the United States wants to build such a city in Earth's geosynchronous orbit, let alone whether it is technically feasible, this huge amount of engineering alone would be enough to bankrupt the United States.
Even Fang Cheng, with controllable nuclear fusion technology and anti-gravity technology, has the basis for implementing this plan.
In addition, with the abnormal production capacity of intelligent unmanned factories, he finally successfully built this space fortress.
Trump frowned after hearing the chief of staff's words. This didn't seem like his chief of staff's style. You know, his chief of staff came from the Marine Corps and has always been a hawk.
But this time, listening to his tone, it seemed a bit like admitting defeat.
"Mr. Chief of Staff," Trump looked at him with deep eyes, "They built a city in outer space, we really can't control it, but how can you guarantee that they won't use this city for military purposes?"
The latest novel is available at Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!
"Your meaning is?"
Trump quickly said, "According to international space law, no country in the United Nations may deploy military bases or militarized weapons in space."
Hearing this, the chief of staff's eyes gradually lit up.
"They built such a huge space city, naturally there is suspicion of using it as a military base."
"That's right!" Trump nodded, "In fact, this is exactly what I'm worried about."
"In that case, I think we need to convene a United Nations meeting on how to deal with this space city!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In fact, the space law stipulates that countries are not allowed to deploy military bases and military weapons is a bit nonsense.
This law is meaningless to small countries in the first place, because they simply do not have the ability to send satellites into space.
But for big countries, it is actually not very meaningful.
Even if it costs a huge price to build a military fortress in space, what can they do?
The larger the fortress is built, the more difficult it is to change its orbit with current technology. In addition, the supply is difficult. Even if a military fortress can be built, in terms of cost and efficiency, it is better to build an aircraft carrier.
This law is almost equal to nonsense.
Of course, from the perspective of preventing problems before they occur, I have to say that this space law is to maintain world peace.
After all, just because everyone can't do it now doesn't mean everyone can't do it in the future.
But this law must be a dead letter. The first country that can build a military base in space will definitely build it.
Just like the first country that can build an aircraft carrier will definitely build an aircraft carrier.
As for the reason?
Does protecting the earth count as a reason?
......
Fang Cheng, who was far away on Anru Island, naturally didn't know that Star Ring City was being targeted.
In fact, even if he knew, it wouldn't matter.
Because next, the Pasa Islands will carry out a space immigration plan.
This plan is launched in the name of the Pasa Islands government.
It aims to invite the first batch of humans from all over the world to live in the outer ring space of Star Ring City.
In this way, Star Ring City will have to be shown to the world, and naturally, it can no longer be kept secret.
