After conducting two experiments in a row, many reporters failed to grasp the specifics, because the targets appeared to self-destruct directly without being hit by any other external strike.
But they knew that the real core experiment had yet to come, because before the experiments began, the relevant departments had issued a notification stating that a large-scale weapons test was about to be carried out, and they even disclosed the location of the target and issued a series of warnings.
A large-scale test, definitely implies range and rapid deployment—for our country, it’s like a delivery with destructive capabilities.
This was the true core of the matter.
Indeed!
Next, the screen showed a delivery apparatus, and after a series of launch preparations, the commander announced the official start.
The delivery apparatus soared into the sky with great vigor, quickly shrinking to a tiny black dot, until it disappeared into the clouds, out of sight.
Normally, the fast delivery device would ascend to an altitude of more than one hundred fifty kilometers in a matter of minutes, with top speeds reaching seven kilometers per second.
This speed was quite terrifying, and not easy to lock onto with radar signals.
Very quickly.
The screen switched to a satellite perspective.
From the satellite’s camera angle, the delivery apparatus maintained its rampant stance, and many were awed by its valiant posture.
At that moment, the commander shouted the slogan again, "Prepare to strike!"
"3, 2, 1!"
Two-second delay.
"Bang!"
From the satellite’s perspective, a plume of smoke could clearly be seen erupting, but the burning wasn’t intense, and the fragments that fell into the atmosphere actually grew brighter.
A group of reporters were stunned, "What’s going on? Why did it self-destruct again?"
"Wasn’t the delivery apparatus supposed to strike the target? Or was the delivery apparatus itself the target?"
"This is too terrifying!"
"Exploding in place in space over a hundred kilometers away? How is that possible?"
"Could it really be self-destruction?"
Although some still mentioned the word "self-destruct," after the previous experiments, the self-destruction theory was obviously not tenable.
The experimenters did not offer a detailed explanation but proceeded to the next experiment, where a satellite appeared on screen, looking somewhat antiquated, a thirty-year-old satellite which by now was almost useless.
Obviously.
This satellite was the subject of the experiment, and it seemed to still be operating normally, as could be seen by the flashing red light on its exterior.
Once everything was ready, the commander issued the command once more.
"3, 2, 1—"
No explosion!
All that could be noticed on the screen was that the small red light on the satellite suddenly dimmed.
"Why did it suddenly go dim? What exactly happened?"
"Good thing it didn’t explode this time!"
"Was the experiment a success? Or was it not? I still don’t understand."
"What exactly is this experiment about!"
After the fourth experiment concluded, the experimental work was not completely over.
The experimenters launched a small anti-gravity propulsion device, which quickly ascended into space and then accurately captured the old satellite. Crew in space suits exited their vessel to secure the satellite on the platform above the anti-gravity device, and only then announced the completion of the mission and prepared to descend.
The last task was to recover the decommissioned satellite.
Though it was just an additional task, it still showcased some astounding technology that no other international entity could perform, such as accurately using a spacecraft to capture satellites in space. Normally, decommissioned satellites are either controlled to crash into the Earth’s surface or directly into the ocean.
So, looking at it from another perspective, if one could accurately capture a satellite in space, could they not also precisely capture other satellites? Including the space station orbiting at four hundred kilometers.
The thought alone was frightening.
Because satellites are entirely defenseless, capturing one accurately means all satellites below that altitude—including the space station at four hundred kilometers—could be accurately captured.
Upon deeper reflection, many found the high-tech display in the final phases of the experiment to be the most shocking.
Of course.
The previous four experiments were shocking as well, but the majority couldn’t comprehend why the targets would explode on the spot without any external force; the same was true for the delivery device that ascended into space.
That evening, the official announcement declared, "The Z-wave strike experiment was a complete success!"
Though the announcement had only a few sentences, the success of the experiment was significant news, meaning everything went according to plan.
At this time, many media outlets also reported on this, and in combination with the official announcement, it suddenly made sense— "Z-wave strike?"
"Could it be a completely new way of striking? Completely invisible? I wonder if radar can detect it!" frёeωebɳovel.com
"If radar can’t detect it, that would be truly terrifying!"
The process of the experiment was so magical that many didn’t understand what they had seen.
It was only now that a series of analysis reports came out explaining the whole content of the experiment, which was to demonstrate a brand new striking technology. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The first three experiments were understandable, but the last experiment made relevant institutions think of something—
Energy beams!
Researchers from the Institute of Mechanics stepped forward to suggest, "The last experiment is very similar to energy beam interference with electronic circuits."
