"The latest launched satellite? Why is it emitting such a bright light?"
"Could it be burning?"
"No, it’s definitely not burning, but, how can it emit such intense light? It’s even stronger than the light produced by burning."
Glares was somewhat puzzled by the situation, he adjusted the best focus through the astronomical telescope and carefully observed.
He soon found that the light was soft and natural, with very little color difference, as if it was a segment taken from a strong light source, rather than the fierce burst of light that comes from burning.
"It’s a bit like sunlight, looking at the color, it seems to contain ultraviolet light."
"It has strong penetration but should not have much effect on electronic devices."
"What’s going on here?"
Glares couldn’t figure out the situation, so he simply opened up a social networking site and immediately saw a lot of related discussions.
In Country E’s internet, many people were talking about the ’star’. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Ordinary people saw a very bright star in the sky and then captured it with their phones or other devices, posting it online. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Some of the astronomy enthusiasts were more professional, but there were also those who were not professional at all, directly saying that a meteorite was about to hit the Earth.
Of course, there were also some professionals explaining that it was the latest launched satellite, and confirmed that it was launched by the Aerospace Bureau of Z country, used for realizing space shuttles and establishing cosmic channels.
This statement was quite shocking abroad.
There had been a lot of discussions about space shuttles domestically for a long time. There were also related discussions abroad, but since it wasn’t their own country’s technology, it was merely mentioned and marveled at.
Now they had actually seen it, the so-called ’space shuttle’ and ’channel-establishing satellite,’ the satellite was even right in front of them, visible to the naked eye, and the impact was completely different from just seeing it on the news.
Domestically, public opinion was the same.
’The brightest star in the sky’ had become a hot search topic on public discussion, quickly taking the number one spot on the rankings, with related discussions everywhere, and a pile of captured images posted online.
Most photos were dazzling, but since the light spot was relatively small and not taken with professional equipment, they were not good, showing only a small bright spot.
But there were also images taken with astronomical telescopes, showing the filled light and a close-up look at the neighboring satellite equipment.
These images were direct explanations.
A lot of discussions were directly related to the satellite, "I watched the news this morning, they said a satellite related to space shuttle was launched, didn’t expect it to be this kind of satellite."
"This is magical, a star was literally built in the sky."
"The Aerospace Bureau did release an announcement that the satellite would emit strong light, never imagined it would be this intense."
"A man-made star, that’s amazing."
"Today’s technology is so high-end, one day when the sky is full of stars, maybe half of them will be man-made."
"In a few more decades, we won’t need lights at night. A thousand of such stars would at least match a full moon, right?"
"The future will have no darkness!"
"I should write a song called this name, maybe within my lifetime, I’ll get to see that day."
Apart from the discussions about the satellite’s light, there were many technical discussions, "The light is coming from ten thousand kilometers near the sun, transmitted by the Energy-Gathering Satellite, actually, the brightness is only one one-hundred-thousandth of that around the sun."
"Not even one one-hundred-thousandth."
"We can make a simple calculation, the concentration of light emitted by the sun and its distance from the sun are directly proportional. Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the sun, whereas the Energy-Gathering Satellite is only 100,000 kilometers away, a difference of fifteen hundred times, so is the light concentration."
"We are not sure what fraction of the satellite’s received light is from the Energy-Gathering Satellite, but let’s simplistically say it’s one-tenth, the difference is then fifteen thousand times!"
"One fifteen-thousandth of the sunlight’s intensity from 100,000 kilometers above the sun’s surface, placed at 600 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, is what we are seeing now."
"So, you can imagine how terrifying the sun is."
In fact, the light energy converter on the high-power Z-wave satellite received less than one percent of the light concentration.
The calculated results in public discussions needed another division by ten to be close to the real results.
How powerful the concentrated light on the sun’s surface is beyond human imagination, and it’s impossible to even get a glimpse of it.
Even looking at the sun for a long time on Earth could cause visual damage.
If one were to look directly at the sun at close range, the briefest moment would damage one’s vision, obviously, the intensity of sunlight can only be explained by data.
In a series of discussions, of course, there were also talks about the satellite’s purpose - to establish channels for space shuttles.
However, the specific method for constructing the channels had not been directly revealed because the Z-wave technology itself was not public.
Therefore, there were a lot of discussions in public opinion, most of which were related to the establishment of channels, based on publicly conducted space shuttle experiments.
The process of space shuttle experiments was not complicated, and after many analyses, a rough idea could be guessed.
