Chapter 264 Where are the polar orbiting synchronous satellites now?

“Look, Yang, I need to see samples, not the fancy speeches you describe.”

At Manhattan’s underwater supercomputing center, purified seawater used for cooling is distilled twice and transported to the ground for use as drinking water after cooling the equipment.

Normally, it is impossible to connect to the external network here, but because of major problems with the “Earth-Moon route”, and the fact that the original launch center in the Gulf of Mexico was hit by the “Double Eleven Tsunami”, it has actually lost its operating function.

In order to obtain data from the lunar experimental base and the space station experimental cabin more efficiently, the underground backup data receiving library originally prepared for the world war was temporarily opened by the “American Alliance” Science and Technology Management Committee. After updating the equipment, the “sea and air data docking” was completed for the first time on “Christmas Eve”.

Yuri Osterman, the office director who is responsible for receiving, statistics, and preliminary retrieval of experimental data, is not only an expert in cosmic ray science, but also the host of experimental projects for multiple kilometer-class space stations. Like Yang Shiren, he is also a top aerospace expert.

At this moment in his office, a holographic human head was communicating with him.

“Those ‘Great Walls Behind the Moon’ are one of the results, Yuri.”

“The same engineering effect can be achieved through mechanical automation and intelligence through algorithms. Conventional ‘artificial intelligence’ can also control engineering equipment in batches. This does not necessarily require brain-computer control technology, let alone ‘consciousness backup’ or ‘electronic immortality’. The ‘electronic Eden’ you described to me is just a description. I want to see evidence.”

“It will happen, Yuri. It will happen.”

“how to prove?”

“I need the communications key to the ‘Valley Base’ on the Mississippi River.”

“…”

“There are no strategic nuclear weapons there, Yuri. And the influence of the ‘TT series’ has been interfered with by humans. Only by finding the location of the blocked target code can it be directly demonstrated as an example. But now because of human interference, I can only prove it again. You have to understand, Yuri, there is no high-power data transmission center on the back of the moon. Everything needs to be processed and produced through the transformation of existing equipment and the minerals on the moon. The processing of the ‘Kreip Rock’ on the moon is too difficult, and I still need materials from the earth.”

“Okay, ‘River Valley Base’…”

Yuri Osterman pondered for a moment, thinking about the situation in the upper Mississippi River. Now that the “TT series” has been discovered, the panic-induced escape has caused the population in the Mississippi River basin to drop by 52%.

Coupled with the inhibitors, vaccines and neutralizers that suddenly became popular on the black market, the “TT series” did not create the same results as the “Rage series”.

It is unlikely that this plan can be replicated again now, because even if a “zombie incident” breaks out, there is no way to use nuclear weapons to destroy the evidence.

Everything is under the sun, and the ruling classes of major regional hegemonies around the world find it extremely difficult.

In particular, there is a mysterious dark force involved. Things like “Black Cat Man” are infiltrating from the ideological level. There are more and more resistance organizations represented by them. It is no longer possible to correct cognition simply by relying on propaganda.

Because a large number of urban and rural guerrillas have been formed, the possibility of direct rule and management has obviously been lost in areas where violent organs are not stationed.

A new undercurrent of thought is emerging among the grassroots, and there is no doubt that someone is fanning the flames.

If Yang Shiren had not been certain that there was something fishy about the film and television star Li Jie, Yuri Osterman would not have cooperated. After collecting intelligence from various channels, he also believed that there was indeed something fishy about Li Jie, the film and television star who filmed a live-action cartoon.

“Also, Yuri, it’s best to find the ‘Krok 01’ test subject as soon as possible. If we don’t synchronize the data quickly, I’m worried that its neural processor will release a large amount of proliferating consciousness. It will be very troublesome to level these contaminated consciousness data. Our experimental center in Wonu was destroyed, and it will be impossible to rebuild it in the short term.”

“At Darkseid, someone is selling a video of an experimental body. It’s a special broad-snouted crocodile. Could it be a parasite of Croco 01?”

“It’s impossible to be sure. My instruments on the back of the moon can’t analyze the entire appearance of the organism. I can only speculate that it is some kind of reptile, either a broad-snouted alligator or a rattlesnake. And once the ‘consciousness transmission’ is completed, if regular synchronization is not possible, what will happen is impossible to know.”

“Then why do you continue this experiment?!”

“My entire family has suffered a devastating blow! Why do you think I should continue this experiment? Listen, Yuri, if you want to continue your experiment, the funding from the American Alliance is far from enough! As long as I get the backup data distributed around the world and the funds, nothing can stop us!”

“I want to talk to the main control experimental body of ‘Brain-computer control technology’.”

“What the hell are you thinking?! Everything is out of control right now. We can’t even guarantee that our communication line will be usable tomorrow. How dare you risk being exposed and try this?!”

“Because I want to see the possibility of ‘Electronic Eden’ with my own damn eyes! No one would turn down eternal life!”

“Manhattan is not an option. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“How about the Arctic Circle?”

“Find a research station that doesn’t have a radar station nearby and give it a try. You need to get a polar orbiting synchronous satellite in advance, which is the safest way.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll place the order on the ‘dark web’.”

“So much the better.”

beep.

Without any warning, Yang Shiren and Yuri Osterman ended their call.

As the director of a department, Yuri Osterman still had some privileges. He unplugged a memory stick, demagnetized it, and threw it into the shredder.

After saying hello to his colleagues along the way and changing into a respectable coat, he entered a restaurant in the city center. He made a reservation and while waiting for the main meal, he posted a task on a “dark web” page using a special mobile phone.

Polar orbiting synchronous satellite, US$120 million, in orbit for one week.

This mission attracted a large number of private companies and organizations with launch capabilities around the world, but at that time, due to the global economic depression, there were basically no people on the offshore launch platforms to organize effective launches.

And this $200 million also includes one week in orbit, which means the satellite must be ready.

Although there are many backup satellites in major astronomical institutes around the world, they may not be used very often, especially after two nuclear strikes. Everyone is worried about the outbreak of a large-scale nuclear war. If a polar-orbiting synchronous satellite is to be launched, the regional powers must be notified.

If you don’t notify, who will know whether you launched a satellite or a nuclear warhead?

Even the private companies and organizations of super-rich families no longer have the glory they once had. The “West Osaka Zombie Incident” and the “Heian-kyo Insect Disaster” have now been linked together and become part of the “global spread of biological weapons.”

The shadow world is full of adventurers, scientists, engineers, investors, politicians… They form small groups one after another and then grab profits that are invisible to most people.

Ding.

While eating bacon, Yuri Osterman saw a new inquiry: three hundred thousand per kilogram.

Farke! !
Yuri cursed in his heart, then immediately replied: Eighty thousand per kilogram is the normal price!

Ding.

“You also said it was a normal price. Look at where are the polar orbiting synchronous satellites on the market now? These are all satellites in greenhouses.”

The other party replied quickly, which made Yuri Osterman feel very unhappy, very, very unhappy.

“One hundred thousand per kilogram!”

“No, I have to bypass all radar monitoring systems over the Pacific Ocean. The window is less than five minutes. One hundred thousand per kilogram. My supercomputer costs three hundred thousand a day to run it once, and that’s just the rental fee. One hundred thousand per kilogram, you might as well go and rob it.” “I’m talking about euros! Euro bearer bonds! Fuck!”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I fucking thought you were talking about the Japanese currency.”

“Fuck~~”

“Oh yeah~~ I like Euro bearer bonds! But I have to pay more. One hundred thousand per kilogram is not enough. I want one hundred and eighty thousand per kilogram.”

“You might as well go grab it!”

“Listen, I don’t know who you are, but there aren’t many people in the world who can bypass regulation and seize the window of opportunity to launch polar orbit synchronous satellites. Even if it’s a 300-kilogram satellite, the price is 80,000 per kilogram, which is only 24 million. There’s no need to take such a risk.”

“180,000 per kilogram… I don’t have that much cash.”

“I also like physical gold and other things, as long as it is precious metal, it’s fine. Of course, if it is a share of an oil processing plant or a hydroelectric power station, it’s also good. High-end technology is not a problem. In short, as long as it is valuable, I have no problem.”

“antique?”

“Those are all garbage. The copyrights of various entertainment and cultural works are also garbage. I don’t need them.”

“How about some shares in industrial conglomerates?”

“At least it’s like the ‘Daxing Group’.”

“A portion of Manhattan Industries’ equity, a portion of precious metals, a portion of crude oil, a portion of Euro bearer bonds, a portion of special material formulas and processing techniques. As long as you can propose something that I can satisfy, it can be traded.”

“Great, that’s settled. Let’s take the precious metals first, and forget about the crude oil. I don’t need it as raw material right now. The Euro bearer bonds will be placed in Edo in the Onumi area. As for the precious metals, just give me the coordinates.”

“I need to confirm your satellite launch capabilities.”

“I will send you the communication code of a satellite in orbit later. Once you receive the signal, you will be able to find the satellite’s orbit. It is not on the list of publicly launched satellites around the world in the past.”

“no problem.”

Both sides were very restrained and wanted to test their strength.

So far, they all seem to be quite capable.

After Yuri Osterman finished his dessert, he checked some abandoned facilities of “Manhattan Industries” in the Onumi District. Since a series of strange events occurred, “Manhattan Industries” is abandoning a large number of biological and chemical laboratories in the Onumi District.

The space station berth originally set up in Miyagi Prefecture has actually been suspended at this time to prevent retaliation.

For the “American Alliance”, important assets can be transferred to the West Coast. Although there will be losses in the short term, it can be considered as capital preservation.

While this process is very uncomfortable for front-line scientists, senior experimental managers like Yuri Osterman can reap huge benefits from it.

Some obsolete equipment or replaced parts contain large amounts of precious metals.

Take “Manhattan Industries” as an example. In the superconducting test center, some areas are arranged with silver wires with a total weight of more than 20 tons. If you are not careful, it is normal to lose more than ten tons.

These silver wires can be recycled through high-powered winding machines, and in transactions on the “dark web”, a roll of silver wire can be used as payment.

If one ton is rolled, ten tons of silver wire plus some euro bearer bonds would be enough.

Now all major forces around the world are keeping their eyes on “firecrackers”, and God must be informed to avoid misjudgment.

Under such circumstances, the absolute strength of an organization capable of launching a satellite cannot be underestimated. Yuri Osterman speculated that the Li family on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had a child who was short of money, so they planned to make some extra money.

At this time, in the villa area at the foot of Baohua Mountain, Boss Li, who was fighting with Jing Wanqiu, was thinking that even in this situation, there were still people who wanted to secretly launch a satellite. Could this person be the leader of a terrorist organization?
However, the other party mentioned “Manhattan Industries”. Boss Li asked “Yaoyao 3.6” to check it out and found out that this “Manhattan Industries” was affiliated to the Ministry of National Defense and Military Industry of the “American Alliance” and was a state-owned enterprise of the “American Alliance”.

Pick out any project director, and he is either an academician or a member of the faculty of a top university in the “American Alliance”.

“Aunt, uncle, I really can’t do it anymore…”

“You’re useless. You have a tanned skin. What use is a dark-skinned hottie like you to have other than fantasizing about being pregnant like a pervert?”

“I’m sorry, sir, I’m just a useless piece of trash…”

Jing Wanqiu covered her face and burst into tears. She felt great just now, but soon she couldn’t feel it anymore. She felt like she was being tortured.

Jin Momo was not here today, so how could she be a match for her brother-in-law all by herself? The “dark-skinned hottie” only looked athletic, but she was knocked down by a stick and had no power to defend herself. Now she didn’t even have the strength to hum.

“Fuck you, get out of here, you’re nothing.”

“I’m sorry, uncle…”

Jing Wanqiu fled in panic, wrapped in a bed sheet and wiping her tears as she ran out of the door. Although the smell in the air still irritated her, she really couldn’t bear it anymore. It felt like salt was sprinkled on her wounds, and dysmenorrhea became a kind of benefit.

As soon as she returned to the house, Jin Momo and Gan Xingzhu returned home right after her. Today they went to observe and learn how to bathe and cut Niu Ji’s hair. Li Jie was very angry now, so he gave them two hundred thousand yuan and asked them to come over and do it himself.

After the anger subsides, we have to go to the “Baohuashan Secret Base” to directly launch a polar orbit synchronous satellite.

There are many advantages to not using rocket launches. With the “rain and snow” of the past two days, the five-minute window is enough for Boss Li to launch several rockets to 500 kilometers above the earth.

After letting “Yaoyao 3.6” send the key, ten minutes later, Gan Xingzhu and Jin Momo, who were still doing it on their own, found that Li Jie seemed even more excited.

“Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?”

“Well, it’s nothing, it’s just that soon I will be able to earn 48 million euros in five minutes.”

“Wow, brother-in-law, this is so cool!”

“So you have to work harder. Don’t be like your sister Wanqiu. What’s the point of practicing hard every day? After two stabs, you’re like a corpse. Don’t you think you’re useless?”

“…”

At the door of the room, Jing Wanqiu, wrapped in a blanket, stood through the crack in the door, looking inside with a resentful expression.

She thought that she had been doing all the hard work for a long time, and now Jin Momo and Gan Xingzhu came back to pick peaches.

After Jin Momo really couldn’t earn an extra hundred yuan, Boss Li finally breathed a long sigh of relief. He raised his hand and patted the obedient and sensible Jin Momo. She immediately turned over and lay on her back. This posture was taught to her by her eldest daughter, who said it was a “conception play” that could increase the hit rate.

Recently, seeing that the “Five Little Ones” are quite big, Jin Momo thought about getting three for herself to try.
