soon.
The "Salvage Plan" submitted by the Xiaguo Space Agency was approved by the higher authorities.
They plan to launch an Expedition 11 solid rocket between October 20 and November 15, carrying the Xuntian-1 space capture vehicle, to bring the small satellite back to Earth.
The entire "salvage" cost is about 50 million.
Of course, this expense is just a drop in the bucket compared to the potential value of the small satellite of the Gangya country, and the price paid is quite small.
The leaders and experts of the Xiaguo Space Agency are looking forward to bringing the small satellite back to the ground, organizing capable personnel, and conducting a thorough study in the hope of achieving significant results.
Just imagine, if the Xia State mastered the technology of miniaturizing high-frequency shortwave transmitters, in the military field, it could develop shortwave radars that would be difficult for potential hostile forces to interfere with, thereby gaining a military advantage in slaughtering the enemy in a possible war.
Just imagine, if Xia Guo could master more advanced signal distribution/control technology and apply it to the field of civilian communications, in the future, not to mention 5G communication technology, even 6G, 10G, 50G, and 100G communication technology would not be too technically difficult.
Imagine again, if Xia Country could master the high-energy battery technology with an energy density conservatively 100 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, Xia Country would immediately become the global energy hegemon in the future, and control the lifeline of the entire human race. The next world hegemon to replace the United States can only be Xia Country!
Therefore, Gambia's small satellite, weighing only five kilograms, carries almost infinite expectations from these leaders and experts, contains countless interests, and even determines the future geopolitical landscape of the world.
They can’t take it too seriously.
However, it is one thing for these leaders and experts to be full of expectations.
But things may not necessarily go as they expect.
…
October 17th.
A small country in Black Africa, Gambia.
Through the news from the diplomatic department, 47-year-old President Aro learned about a situation.
"Xia Country said that our Gambia's first space satellite has expired and has been scrapped?"
"And Xiaguo's space agency recently planned to conduct a space science experiment and bring our country's first space satellite back to Earth."
"The reason they chose our satellite is that its size and orbit are very suitable. They also hope to gain our consent in order to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the space sector."
Hear this.
A Luo frowned, looking very unhappy.
Without a second thought, he waved his hand and refused, saying, "No! Don't touch my satellite! It's our country's strategic space weapon! You can't bring it back to Earth!"
If he was brought back to the ground and accidentally found out by the people of Gambia and saw the true face of the so-called "strategic weapons", how could he continue to deceive people?
Can you sit down steadily in the position under your buttocks?
Besides, he has already made very confident statements in front of the people, saying that strategic weapons can be deployed in space for at least one million years. During the deployment period, no country will dare to provoke Gangbia. It can be said that it is Gangbia's important weapon for defending the country and protecting long-term peace.
But it has only been three months, what does it mean that the Xia people want to take it down?
Well, it is true that the small satellite has become so-called space junk, but it is still a strategic weapon in the minds of most Gambians.
It is still the strategic weapon in A Luo's heart.
So you can’t move!
Don’t take it down!
If you want to conduct space science experiments, look for satellites from other countries. Don’t set your sights on Gambia, don’t set your sights on Gambia’s “national treasure”!
In short, that small satellite must not be taken down.
…
The news was passed back to Xia State.
“???”
The leaders and experts of the space agency were all confused and looked shocked.
Space junk, strategic weapons, national treasures
They really couldn't imagine that President Aro of Gambia would connect these words together.
After a brief discussion and analysis, they immediately understood A Luo's concerns.
"Gambia may not understand the value of small satellites, or even have seen one in person. They simply had to do this to boost public support."
"The reason they're afraid of the satellite being taken down is because they're worried about being exposed and the truth being revealed."
"So, we can assure them that space science experiments will be conducted under confidentiality, avoiding any leaks to the outside world. We guarantee that not a single photo or video will be released. They can rest assured!"
In fact, considering the value of the small satellite, they originally planned to recover the small satellite secretly and list it in the highest confidentiality level.
However, these assurances had no effect. Gangbia still refused and even issued a stern warning: Do not touch Gangbia's strategic weapons in the slightest.
This gave the leaders and experts a headache. They didn't expect things to be so difficult to handle.
One expert even widened his eyes and asked, "Could it be that...Gambia is aware of the actual value of small satellites and that they are indeed so-called 'strategic weapons'?"
"impossible!"
Wu Wanzhou immediately retorted, "I heard that young man say that it was just an ordinary communications satellite, used only to send a 'hello' to the universe. It couldn't possibly function as a strategic weapon. A small five-kilogram object couldn't possibly be that exaggerated!"
"Old Wu is right. We've already investigated Gambia's situation. There are few people in the country who know what it's all about, including A Luo. He's not concerned about whether the satellite is in the sky, but whether he can keep his position."
