Chapter 182
It is naturally a very simple matter to obtain the permission of Starlink satellites with the ability of Xingtong, but considering that Ma Sien will launch a batch of satellites next month, there is no need to do it now.

Since the other party's Starlink satellite project is to be used to justify the name of the quantum computer, it must not keep a single one.

So Xu Lei finally decided to wait for Ma Sien to complete the launch mission, and then let Xingtong do it to let him experience what despair is.

As for the quantum satellites needed to obtain the authority of the opponent's satellite, you only need to say hello to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Because they previously launched a quantum satellite in order to study the quantum field.

Although its performance may not be as good as the ground quantum relay station developed by future technology, it is enough to think about it.

At this moment, Ma Sien Kaufman and the others, who are still working on launching the Starlink satellite, do not know that they have become a part of Xu Lei's plan, and the final result has already been determined.

-

October 3, Wednesday.

Dali Rover Island.

La Horn Space Force Base.

In the launch command center, Ma Sien, the president of the Space Exploration Technology Corporation, sits here to monitor the launch of the Starlink satellites.

From the display screen in the center, a huge Falcon-type rocket can be seen standing on the launch pad.

Waiting for the ignition to take off at any time.

Originally, according to the normal launch plan, these satellites would not be launched until at least the middle of this month, but due to Kaufman's request, Ma Sien had to adjust the launch time as much as possible.

Finally brought it up to today.

And within 24 hours, there will be two consecutive launches, sending more than 100 Starlink satellites into predetermined orbits.

It can be said that Ma Sien's mood is quite excited at this time. As long as the satellite works normally in the predetermined orbit, then the entire Starlink can play a role in officially interfering with electromagnetic waves on the quantum relay station deployed on the ground in the future.

Thinking of what happened to Truss, you can immediately regain this face, and you can imagine his mood.

However, when the launch time was approaching, Ma Sien suddenly noticed several figures walking in, and the leader was Kaufman.

Although he didn't expect Kaufman to come from Washington State on purpose, Ma Sien quickly reacted.

Hastily got up and took the initiative to greet.

"Sir Kaufman, why didn't you tell me in advance if you wanted to come?"

"I'd like to meet you in person."

While stretching out his right hand, the words in his mouth kept talking, full of compliments to Kaufman.

After all, Tesla is almost dying in name only now, and if its own space exploration technology company wants to develop well, it cannot do without cooperation with the military.

So Kaufman is still more critical.

In addition, Ma Sien needs to rely on Kaufman's power to deal with future technology, so naturally he will not be too indifferent.

On the contrary, Kaufman looked calm, and after the two of them clasped their hands together, he heard him say casually: "It's just a temporary decision. How is the launch mission of the Starlink satellite going?"

Kaufman is well aware of the importance of this matter, which is related to the future global structure. No matter how good Ma Sien promised, he really can't feel at ease.

So I temporarily decided to come here and personally pay attention to the process of implementing this plan.

In this way, in case of emergency posting emergencies, it is better to deal with them in time.

Ma Sien didn't mind much about it.

Anyway, the two of them have the same goal. As long as they can make the plan go smoothly and cause interference to the quantum relay station of the future technology layout, they will be able to get the bargaining chip for the negotiation, which can be regarded as a perfect solution to this task.

Faced with Kaufman's inquiry at this time, Ma Sien did not hide anything, and directly stated the current progress.

"Sir, you came a little late. The launch center has successfully completed a launch mission, and this Falcon rocket is about to take off."

"That's good."

"It seems that measures can be taken against the quantum relay station of future technology today."

After Kaufman listened to Ma Sien's report, his originally suspended heart gradually relaxed.

The voice just fell.

He found a seat at random and sat down, staring at the launch screen in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Ma Sien immediately understood that the other party would never leave without seeing the results, as if he didn't have enough patience to wait.

Mainly during the few days of waiting for the launch of the satellite, more and more forces announced their withdrawal from the technology sharing plan, and some of them joined the future technology quantum global network.

This made Kaufman deeply feel the crisis.

Now it is finally time to wait for the launch of the remaining Starlink satellites, and in any case, we will see results today.

After all, this is their only hope left.

As for the next time, Ma Sien will no longer care about Kaufman's situation.

Concentrate on your upcoming plans.

"Countdown to ignition."

"ten."

"six."

……

"ignition."

As the scheduled launch time approached, the Falcon rocket suddenly burst into a violent sound, and was quickly lifted into the air under the impetus of fuel.

It is worth mentioning that almost 2000 Starlink satellites have been successfully transported into the predetermined orbit at this launch center, so the technology and various processes are extremely mature.

Unless there is an emergency during the launch process, there will be basically no launch failures.

But this time they were lucky. The rocket successfully separated from the satellite after reaching the designated altitude.

And with the passage of time, after a series of technical operations to calibrate the orbit, the entire Starlink system is finally on track.

On the big screen in the command center, you can clearly see the real-time status screen of the virtual model of the entire Starlink project. In terms of grandeur, I think it is better than the ground quantum relay station of future technology.

Even if Ma Sien is the proposer of this plan, he is very excited to see such a scene at this moment.

Especially according to the original project plan, the entire Starlink system will consist of tens of thousands of satellites, and it can be said that the current progress is not even half.

But despite this, it has been able to play a role.

Reflect your own value.

Seeing that things have come to this point, Ma Sien will naturally not hesitate, and Dang even said excitedly to Kaufman: "Sir Kaufman, our Starlink is ready to start working on the quantum communication of future technology."

"Great."

"Then why are you still hesitating, Ma Sien, hurry up and act."

After finally hearing the good news, Kaufman couldn't resist shouting to Ma Sien immediately.

Thinking that the shame he got from Future Technology would finally have a chance to pay back, Ma Sien would not hesitate without Kaufman reminding him, and immediately ordered the technicians in charge of manipulating the Starlink satellites: "Start according to the original plan, Launch electromagnetic waves to the designated area."

"It's the boss."

After receiving the formal instruction, the technicians who had already been sitting at the operating table started to do it immediately.

Actively intervene in the trajectory of Starlink satellites and adjust their angles.

Make sure that electromagnetic waves are emitted in the correct area.

During the whole process, Ma Sien and Kaufman were almost paying attention to the screen changes on the central control screen.

Although I know that I don't know much about the relevant professional knowledge, I still don't feel relieved.

I don't know how long it took, but when the angle of the entire Starlink satellite was adjusted and was about to release electromagnetic waves, what everyone didn't expect was that the entire control screen suddenly went black.

The central control screen was plunged into darkness.

The real-time status screen of the Starlink satellites that was originally displayed disappeared.

Simply put, they lost contact with all Starlink satellites.

"what's going on?"

"Report to the boss, I don't know why all the Starlink satellites can't be contacted."

"No response to command, damn it."

"What are you all doing, why don't you hurry up and restore control of the satellite."

Listening to the control center that became chaotic in an instant, Ma Sien could no longer hide his inner panic, so he could only keep giving orders to the technicians, hoping to solve the emergencies encountered.

However, except for the continuous sound of voices mixed with surprise, there was no improvement.

No one expected that thousands of Starlink satellites would lose contact in an instant, which is simply impossible.

After all, with the design life of the Starlink satellite, it is not time to scrap it.

In this state, accidents will basically not happen, let alone thousands of satellites appearing at the same time, the only reasonable explanation is that they have been attacked by unknown.

The control authority of the satellite is taken away.

Originally, the launch of the rocket and the entry of the satellite into orbit went very smoothly, and there were no accidents in the middle, which made Ma Sien think that even God was helping him.

But when they could interfere and retaliate against the Quantum Relay Station of Future Technology, all the satellites lost contact.

It's just as much disappointment as hope.

The gap is really unacceptable.

And when a lot of thoughts kept flashing in Ma Sien's mind at this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something in the next second, and his face quickly became gloomy.

Can't help but drink in a low voice.

"This must be done by future technology. Only their quantum computers can seize control of the satellite."

"Yes."

"They must have done it."

Kaufman next to him, after hearing Ma Sien's words, was even more unbelievable with anger on his face.

"They dare to do this. This is a blatant provocation. Aren't they afraid of going to war?"

Perhaps it is because the Light of Future Technology has never had an active attack since its inception, which made them involuntarily underestimate the true capabilities of quantum computers.

Now that they saw thousands of Starlink satellites being easily taken away from their own hands, they felt a deep fear.

However, Future Technology dared to attack Starlink satellites, and still achieved this level, which completely exceeded Kaufman's expectations.

I thought that Xu Lei's blatant rejection of his technology sharing plan was bold enough, but it was nothing compared to the current situation.

In Kaufman's view, this is completely reckless.

However, the top priority is to find a way to restore the control of the Starlink satellites as much as possible, otherwise the losses caused by this will be incalculable.
