Because the confidentiality level of this skyspace aircraft launch mission was extremely high, even he only knew it was about conducting a low Earth orbit interception satellite simulation experiment, but as for the specifics...
his clearance was not high enough to be privy to that information.
The only requirement from above was to fully cooperate with Commander Huang.
“Report!
The Space-T company, which the Starlink satellites belong to, has issued an official statement!
They say all of the Starlink satellites in Earth’s orbit, a total of 22,467 satellites, have been hacked!
...
They have completely lost control!
They are advising all nations to immediately adjust their spacecraft orbits to avoid collisions!”
The commander’s eyebrows twitched.
He hurried over to the webpage and read the statement published by the Space-T space exploration company, owned by the world’s richest man, Jask.
He read it thoroughly.
Indeed...
The Starlink satellite system had been hacked, and control was completely seized and locked down, leaving even the Space-T company utterly powerless!@@@@
“Kevin Walker...”
With clenched teeth, the commander looked at the name at the bottom of the statement.
The Space-T company emphasized in the last part of their declaration—
[After technical analysis and source tracing, our company has now confirmed that the culprit behind the hijacking of 22,467 Starlink satellites is the young genius known as the strongest hacker on Earth—]
[Kevin Walker!]
Bang!
The commander slammed his fist on the table:
“It’s that kid again!
Are Jask’s satellites reliable or not?
Constantly hacked!
If they work and can fly, fine, otherwise come down earlier!
Don’t keep causing trouble for others!”
Before this incident,
These more than twenty thousand Starlink satellites had often been crashing around in Earth’s orbit, and many times there were near collisions with weather satellites and space stations.
As a result, countries around the world, including China, had no choice but to frequently activate their space station propulsion systems, adjusting the space station’s altitude to avoid the errant Starlink satellites, wasting a lot of fuel for nothing.
Apart from Mi Country, almost all nations around the world scoffed at Jask’s Starlink project.
The technology wasn’t that advanced, it caused many problems, and it even occupied a large portion of the near-Earth orbit, effectively becoming space debris!
“The Atlantic...”
The commander lifted his head, looking at the predictive trajectory map of the skyspace aircraft on the large wall screen.
When they lost contact, the skyspace aircraft was at an altitude of 240 kilometers, soaring past the America East Coastline.
Past the East Coastline was the Atlantic Ocean!
“We must find a way to notify the skyspace aircraft, to notify Commander Huang!
Tell them to abort the mission!”
“We’ve tried!
There’s still no response!”
“What about Jask’s side?
Can’t they regain control of the Starlink satellites?
Aren’t those their own satellites!?
How can they not control their own satellites!” the commander shouted.
“No good, Space-T company has already said, no way.” The reporting staff member was sweating profusely:
“And...
“I’m not opposed to simple, mindless, obedient Artificial Intelligence changing lives, but super Artificial Intelligence is just too much trouble.”
He smiled slightly, raised his hands, puffed out his chest, and looked at the magnificent Starship Rocket Launch Center before him:
“From today onwards, for hundreds of years, there will be no more super Artificial Intelligence in the world!
This virus has locked that possibility away!”
“How wonderful, hahaha, truly wonderful.”
Jask smacked his lips contentedly and shook his head:
“As I said just now...”
“I don’t like Artificial Intelligence.”
...
The secretary stood with her mouth half-open, listening to her boss’s bizarre statements.
But she was already used to it.
If this tall, robust man weren’t the richest person in the world, he would probably be considered crazy, a fraud, mentally ill, and sent to a hospital for treatment.
Jask leaned back against the railings of the Scenic Iron Tower, putting his entire weight onto it, and stared at the Starship Rocket bound inside the launch tower:
“Go find Supervisor Mike.”
“Mike?”
The secretary looked up, pushing her red-framed glasses that had slipped down her nose again.
Supervisor Mike.
He was the top manager of the entire Starship Rocket Launch Center, responsible for the usual rocket and satellite launches.
“What do you need me to find him for?” the secretary asked.
Jask pointed to the center of the launch base, to the rocket on the tower that was ready to launch:
“Tell Mike to launch the rocket!”
“Huh?”
The secretary hadn’t managed to push her red-framed glasses up fully when they slid down her nose again:
“What?
Why so suddenly?
Isn’t that rocket scheduled for a test flight in half a month’s time?
The preparations haven’t even started!”
“No problem, just add some fuel, and it can fly, rockets aren’t that complex.”
“But still!” The secretary finally pushed her red-framed glasses back up:
“But still!
There’s nothing loaded in that rocket!
What are we launching?
Where are we launching it to?
You can’t always just do whatever comes to mind!”
Jask shook his head:
“You just need to inform Supervisor Mike, he will know where it needs to be launched.
A few days ago, I already explained everything to him on this iron tower.”
Having said that,
he looked up at the blazing sun in the sky.
Looking towards the east...
Across the distant America East Coastline:
“Like fish in a pot, no help from the sky.
Lin Xian...”
He chuckled, squinting his eyes:
“I’ll see you in the sky!”
