I don't have a system but I have a hammer

Call ~

I let out a foul breath, rubbed the sore corners of my eyes, looked up at the three people who were waiting for the answer, and smiled...

"Just now your words reminded me that there are old and young people, and the same is true for satellites. The first one was launched in 1963 by the beautiful country, and then there are 94 satellites in total, right?"

The three of them nodded in unison, but the doubts between their brows did not dissipate much...

"I remember that the service life of each geostationary satellite is between 10 and 15 years. When the time limit is reached, the thrusters will push it to outer space, away from high orbits to avoid unnecessary troubles..."

"Then here comes the problem. Since the geostationary satellite will be far away from the high orbit due to its service life, the virus device on it will also be far away from the high orbit. In other words, the enemy will have to add a batch of virus devices to it every few years..."

"Because the time when the geostationary satellite is pushed away into outer space is uncontrollable, and launching a virus device alone is a waste of manpower and material resources, so I assume that this cycle is about ten years. A batch of viruses, the number is [-], and the old is traded in for the new..."

I took a puff of the cigarette, and my eyes sparkled with excitement...

"Then the question is, do you think the terminal has always existed, or is it like a virus, once every ten years?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, looked at each other a few times, lowered their heads and thought for a moment, and finally put forward their own ideas...

First of all, Mongolian women...

"If I were the enemy, I would naturally choose a once-and-for-all solution, because the terminal is the control core of the virus network, and it must be in a long-term active state, otherwise a new batch of viruses will come up, and it will be recalibrated, which is very troublesome..."

Second is Pingtou...

"I agree, because the virus will inevitably be monitored by satellites to detect geothermal reactions during the launch process. Once there is a mistake, it can be easily shot down by anti-aircraft missiles. The virus device does not matter, but if the terminal is destroyed, the loss outweighs the gain..."

Finally, the bald man...

"That's right, technology was not developed a few decades ago, and the enemy's launch of a virus device into space may not necessarily cause a geothermal reaction to be detected, but it is not necessarily the case now..."

I nodded, agreeing with the views of the three...

"That's right, I know the enemy very well. He knows that one day in the future, we will definitely find a rocket that does not belong to any country and carry an unknown device to launch into the sky, so he must not dare to launch the terminal and the virus together..."

"As you said, if the virus is gone, it will be a big deal to make it and re-launch it. It is impossible for every rocket to be intercepted, but the terminal cannot be wrong, so the best way is once and for all!"

"Of course, it is inevitable that the terminal will leave the high orbit one day with the end of the satellite's life, but in line with the principle of capital squeezing workers, he will definitely choose a geostationary satellite with the longest operating time as the target!"

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up...

The bald brother immediately added excitedly...

"In other words, as long as we find the geostationary satellite with the longest service life, we can find the terminal?"

But then Brother Pingtou frowned again and raised an objection...

"No, the upper limit of the lifespan of the geostationary satellite is 15 years. According to you, the virus terminal will inevitably need to be replaced..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the mocking sound of the Mongolian woman...

"Haha, you idiot, who said it must be a working geostationary satellite?"

After all, she turned her head to look at me meaningfully, and raised her nose as if showing off...

"If I'm right, you don't mean the longest-lived geostationary satellite, but the longest-lived geostationary satellite, right?"

I nodded approvingly, agreeing with her statement...

Now it's Pingtou's turn to be suspicious...

"The longest lifespan, isn't it..."

The bald brother let out a long breath, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, with a playful expression on his face...

"So do you know why among the three of us, your test scores are always at the bottom?"

Seeing Brother Pingtou still frowning in confusion, Brother Bald couldn't help laughing out loud...

"Forget it, let me give you some popular science. The first artificial satellite launched by Huaxia is called Dongfanghong-[-]. You should know that..."

"Ah~ It's a pity that we were very backward in battery technology at that time, so we were still using ordinary batteries for solar batteries used in households... This also resulted in its lifespan being only 20 days, which is not even one-tenth of that of other countries. !"

Feeling slightly emotional for a moment, the bald brother continued to add...

"But the mission of Dongfanghong-20 is not to explore space, but to lay the foundation for the future artificial satellite technology of the motherland, which leads to the fact that although its service life is only [-] days, the motherland still has to launch it into the sky... "

"And due to technical limitations, we couldn't build a satellite that was square and could maintain its own balance, so the shape of Dongfanghong-[-] was a sphere, and this was because it couldn't maintain balance..."

"In addition to the weight problem, if it is in a close orbit, it will easily fall due to the gravity of the earth, so we launched it into a high orbit..."

"The next thing is the interesting thing. Since its service life is only 20 days, our designers have not considered its follow-up problems at all, so it has no way to leave high orbit after the end of its life..."

"This is the main reason why, although it is useless, it has been flying for 50 years!"

After all, the bald man raised his head and looked at me, his eyes burning like a scholar who has found the truth...

"Actually, there are many similar cases like this. For example, there is a synchronous satellite in the beautiful country, which is still in high orbit because of a thruster failure..."

"So the satellites installed by the enemy with terminals can be seen at a glance. It is this kind of junk satellites that can fly for decades without leaving high orbits!"

clap clap ~

Applause from the three of us...

But the bald brother didn't show any pride on his face, instead he was expressionless and calm, as if he didn't care about compliments and flowers at all...

After a pause, he pressed his hands together and added...

"Of course the most important thing is that as far as I know, this kind of junk satellite only existed more than ten years ago, because at that time we didn't have the awareness of space junk, so most of the satellites didn't have reverse thrusters..."

"In this way, our scope has been greatly reduced. We don't need to worry about any of the 94 satellites. We only need to find junk satellites... and this number will never exceed ten, just destroy them all!"

Call ~

The moment the voice just fell, everyone, including me, had overjoyed and happy expressions on their faces...
