Chapter 242 The First Universe Treaty

In January 2056, the most important thing was not that the Chinese Air Force began to bomb the US mainland, but that is, the Chinese government officially announced that it had mastered a brand new aerospace technology that would remove space garbage for the future of all mankind.[..com]

In early January, China first carried out several space launches to prove that China has the ability to remove space garbage.

Subsequently, Huang Hanlin held the Seventh Oriental League Group Summit in Beijing, and the European Union, which had just joined, was led by Prime Minister Pino to attend the Summit.

At the meeting, Huang Hanlin presented evidence that no one could deny that China's efforts had achieved results and were expected to remove space garbage in low-Earth orbit within one year and resume space activities. Subsequently, Huang Hanlin formally proposed that China has the right to use the low-Earth orbit and will provide the right to use to allies for free. If other countries want to use the low-Earth orbit, they must purchase the right to use from China.

Obviously, most of the heads of allies expressed their support.

The problem is that Pino immediately raised an objection, believing that international law has long clearly stipulated that outer space is the wealth of the entire human society and does not belong to any country or group of states. Therefore, China has no right to take the low-Earth orbit for itself, nor does it have the right to prevent other countries from using the low-Earth orbit.

Huang Hanlin's reply was very direct: if the European Federation has the ability, it will remove space garbage in low-Earth orbit.

Obviously, Pino couldn't respond at all.

Subsequently, the Indian Prime Minister proposed that the right to use low-Earth orbit should be allocated according to the contributions made in clearing space garbage.

There is no doubt that this is just a change in Huang Hanlin's claim.

You should know that at that time, China was the only one who could remove low-Earth orbit space garbage, and Huang Hanlin had promised to provide the allies with free use rights.

As a result, the proposal of the Indian Prime Minister was opposed by many allies.

To put it bluntly, if we really want to follow the proposal of the Indian Prime Minister, other countries can only pay, and whoever pays more money will have more rights to use. Obviously, this is far behind Huang Hanlin's proposal, because China's free use rights will never be divided into levels according to the economic strength of its allies.

By this time, Pino had been excluded from the core issue.

Whether he agrees or does not agree, the result cannot be changed, that is, China will work hard to remove space garbage and will dominate all resources in low-Earth orbit. This means that if the European Federation terminates its alliance with China, the space activities carried out in the future will have to pay China based on the occupied low-Earth orbit resources, and the standards for determining the cost will be completely formulated by China.

To put it bluntly, China's move is equivalent to mastering the lifeline of the future development of mankind.

This is just like in the Internet age, other countries have to pay a server fee to the United States when using the International Internet, because of eight of the nine core hosts of the International Internet, and the other one is in Japan, and it is also managed by the United States.

Finally, the 38 member states of the Oriental Alliance Group signed the Treaty on the Development and Use of Low Earth Orbit in Beijing, also known as the Beijing Treaty or the First Cosmic Treaty, which determined the rights and responsibilities for the development and use of outer space and low Earth orbit in the situation of an international treaty.

Later, the Western world regarded this as the first unequal treaty against Western civilization.

Is this an unequal treaty?

Just as Huang Hanlin said to Pino, if Western countries have the ability, why not remove space garbage?

In order to remove space garbage, China has consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and has a heavy burden. Therefore, China has the right to enjoy the benefits it has obtained. Those countries that have not contributed will have to pay for the use of the usable outer space opened up by China.

Of course, the validity period of this treaty is ninety-nine years, and it stipulates that after the expiration of the period, it will automatically last for ninety-nine years unless China waives the period. However, China cannot extend the duration of the treaty for the second time, that is, after the expiration of the second ninety-nine years, only two-thirds of the Contracting Parties can extend the ninety-nine years again.

This regulation is also related to the actual situation.

Generally speaking, the maximum period of an international treaty is 99 years. If more than 99 years are, it will not have the legal effect as it should be. The problem is that according to scientists' predictions, if there is no human intervention, then space waste in the near-Earth orbit will only fall into the atmosphere and burn down one after another, which means that in the next two hundred years, it is basically impossible for humans to carry out space activities. It is precisely this way that the treaty gives China two 99 years of privileges, that is, almost two hundred years, and after that, the international community will decide whether to continue to grant China privileges.

Since you have rights, you have equal obligations.

At that time, Huang Hanlin promised to open up three low-Earth orbits covering the Eurasian continent within one year and complete all cleaning work within five years, with all costs borne by China, and China will unconditionally open low-Earth orbits for countries that have concluded alliance treaties.

When writing the treaty text, the deadline was much relaxed, with the former being relaxed to two years and the latter being relaxed to ten years.

In fact, in less than a year, China opened up three low-Earth orbits covering the Eurasian continent, and also completed the cleaning of the equator, laying the foundation for the launch of geostationary satellites.

The speed is so fast, thanks to the anti-gravity field technology.

At that time, Chinese scientists discovered that anti-gravity field technology can not only offset the gravity field in a certain direction, but also strengthen the gravity field in a certain direction. After in-depth research, it was found that the so-called strengthening actually converts part of the energy into the potential energy of the gravity field acting on the object in a resonant manner, thus creating a strengthening phenomenon. This discovery provided great help for the later improvement of the gravity field theory, such as determining that the gravity field acts linearly, but in the universe, the gravity fields in each direction are equal (later discovered, not absolutely equal), so the gravity field is shown to act on the object in various directions. For example, the discovery proves that the gravity field is an energy field, and a wave-like energy field, which can convert gravity energy into other energy. This theoretical breakthrough laid the foundation for the subsequent breakthrough in aerospace power technology and opened the door for humans to fly to the universe.

However, at that time, the discovery of Chinese scientists was first applied to cleaning up space garbage.

The method is very simple, that is, on the orbit of space garbage, a more powerful gravity field is reversely applied, which slows the space garbage and then falls into the atmosphere and burns. Because the speed of space garbage must be higher than the first cosmic speed to fly around the earth. As long as the speed decreases, it will cause the flight orbit to decrease under the action of gravity (which should be the gravity pointing to the terrain), and eventually fall into the atmosphere.

Obviously, this avoids collisions with space garbage.

You should know that after global natural disasters, humans made the first effort to remove space garbage, using collision or indirect collision, and eventually ended in failure.

Theoretically, to clear a circular orbit with a width of ten kilometers from a height of 300 kilometers from the ground, you only need to let the cleaned satellite fly 4,000 to 5,000 times orbit, that is, almost half a year, and you can remove all space garbage passing through the orbit. If the number of cleaned satellites is increased, the cleaning time can be shortened. The specific relationship is that the cleaning time is inversely proportional to the number of cleaned satellites.

It can be seen that theoretically, as long as China can create enough cleaning satellites, it will actually take only one year to clean up all the space garbage in low-Earth orbit. Unfortunately, China cannot create enough cleaning satellites because the output of anti-gravity field materials is not large.

Anyway, what happened in January 2056, especially the First Universe Treaty, laid the first cornerstone for the post-war world pattern.

After this treaty, China's strategic bombing of the United States was the case.

After the Chinese fleet emerged, the bombing of the United States was no longer just bombers, but also carrier-based fighter jets. However, compared with bombers, fighter jets have much lower combat efficiency and can only strike coastal targets and cannot penetrate deep into the hinterland of the United States, so they are not the main strike force.

At this time, Mu Haoyang began to consider landing in the United States.

By the end of January, after evaluating the bombing results, Mu Haoyang believed that the US mainland could be attacked as early as the end of February and as early as the beginning of March.

Of course, the premise is to maintain or increase the bombing intensity.

The reply from the mother Qi Tie was very direct: There is no problem in maintaining the bombing intensity, and to increase the bombing intensity, you must open up new frontier bases or shorten the combat radius of the bomber.

The possibility of opening up frontier bases is not very high, because the islands in the Eastern Pacific are all near the North American continent.

In this way, the combat radius of the bomber can only be shortened.

It seems that this is one thing about opening a frontier base, because the purpose of opening a frontier base is to shorten the combat radius of the bomber.

Obviously, this is not the same thing.

In addition to establishing air bases on the islands, there are other methods, namely, methods that the Navy has used to splice several specially modified flat-deck supercargo ships to form a maritime base with a length of more than 1,500 meters to provide services to bombers.

The 1,500-meter runway is enough for strategic bombers to take off and land.

However, this kind of maritime base designed to support tactical fighter jets has many problems when supporting bombers. For example, there is no hangar that can accommodate bombers, so the bombers cannot be maintained. Moreover, there is too little space for bombers to park, and a maritime base can carry up to ten bombers. To this end, the Navy must improve the maritime platform to make it suitable for supporting bomber operations.

Fortunately, the relevant work has been carried out long ago and has entered the project implementation stage.
