For the next two hours, Chen Xin, Ling Wei, and Wang Xiaoyue watched the "Firefly" rover wandering around on Mars in the holographic projection.

But apart from finding some hematite and meteorite remains, there weren't many surprises.

Chen Xin is not in a hurry, anyway, the "Firefly" has installed a solar sail panel battery with high photoelectric conversion efficiency, which can adapt to the high temperature difference between winter and summer on Mars, plus a built-in metal battery, it can survive on Mars for at least more than ten years.

This time is enough for the Firefly to patrol most areas of the Martian surface.

Wang Xiaoyue and Ling Wei were also tired of seeing the same scenery on Mars, Wang Xiaoyue yawned and said, "Brother Chen Xin, I'm sleepy, go to sleep first." ”

Ling Wei also got up at the right time and said, "I'm also tired, sleep and sleep!"

Seeing the two of them tacitly understand each other and go back to their rooms, Chen Xin could only smile wryly and shake his head.

……

White House conference room, 9:30 a.m. ET, Washington, D.C.

The large-screen LCD TV was showing the footage of the leaders of China and Russia watching the separation of the Forbes-Soil Mars rover at the Capital Space Flight Control Center.

"According to our intelligence, you can see that this is Chen Xin, the main opponent of the United States of America at the moment, the divine envoy of the Somali Republic and the main person in charge of the Transwarp Group! It is his Chinese identity and consistent anti-American stance that have contributed to the cooperation between the Strategic Deception Bureau and China and the Russian Federation. ”

CIA Director David Petraeus freezes the television frame with a remote control. Then he circled the young face standing behind Putin and Elder No. 1 with a laser pointer.

He paused and continued: "At the same time, we also have reason to believe that Chen Xin is the mastermind behind the previous Somali piracy incident, the robbery of the aircraft cemetery in Tucson City, and the theft of the nuclear submarine at the Russian Severodvinsk shipyard. In addition, the mole we have placed in the Kremlin has also sent us an extremely important piece of information this time, Putin and Medvedev have officially decided to deliver each other's four decommissioned Typhoon-class nuclear submarines to each other free of charge in order to win cooperation with the Strategic Fooling Bureau. ”

"What?"

"How can a polar bear do that?"

"Do they dare to disobey the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?"

There was an uproar in the conference room, and only US President O'Guanhai, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and General Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had already learned the news in advance, remained relatively calm on their faces.

The meeting was an ad hoc enlarged meeting of the US National Security Council. In addition to the original members of the National Security Council. There were also representatives of the major chaebols and even arms dealers.

Originally, at the NATO summit a month ago, Oguanhai hoped to integrate the forces of allies to jointly deal with the threat of war.

As a result, O'Guanhai overestimated the appeal of the United States and the difficulty of the war. After the first flight of the aerospace aircraft was completed. The NATO summit was helplessly reduced to a farce-like political show. In the end, the meeting did not come to a valid conclusion on the Somali issue.

Although the plot failed, this did not mean that the United States of America needed to compromise with the war.

The United States of America is the most powerful country in the world by all accounts. Ao Guanhai could not accept that the United States would be reduced to a second-class power starting from his own president.

This is not only unacceptable to Ao Guanhai himself, but also unacceptable to many political and financial chaebols in the United States.

After more than a month of continuous follow-up observation of the Strategic Fool Bureau and Transwarp Group, Ao Guanhai is finally about to start his first move.

Of course, the premise is that he must integrate the forces of the various political factions and chaebol factions in the country to form a consensus, so that his next move can be carried out smoothly, not only for the sake of the future of the United States, but also for the sake of his own re-election as the next president.

Looking at the noisy people in the conference room, Ao Guanhai patted the table and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, give me peace!"

Mr. President's gloomy face calmed down the originally noisy conference room again, and Ao Guanhai said: "Gentlemen, we must admit that the emergence of the war is a great challenge for us in the United States, but it is also a very good opportunity to use metal battery technology to strengthen the leadership of the United States in the world." So, I hope to have the support of all of you. ”

"Mr. President, what do you think, please tell me!" said a representative of a California consortium.

The representative of the Rockefeller consortium also said: "As long as we can suppress the sudden situation in the war, we will give it our full support." ”

The core of the California consortium is the arms industry, and whether or not the United States wants to take action against the Somali Republic in the future, in the face of the powerful pressure of the aerospace aircraft in the war, it will certainly invest huge sums of money in the arms industry, and this will undoubtedly be a great benefit to the California consortium.

Needless to say, the Rockefeller consortium is its core industry, and the metal battery project of the war is undoubtedly digging his lifeline, although Rockefeller has also joined the metal battery research project jointly funded by the ten major chaebols of the federation, but even if the project is successful, the status of the Rockefeller chaebol in the United States will plummet, so we can imagine how deep the Rockefeller consortium's hatred for the war is sudden.

The two major chaebols of the federation took the lead, and representatives of other consortia also nodded their heads in support.

Ao Guanhai was obviously very satisfied with the statements of everyone present, and said with a smile: "Very good, since everyone agrees, the first step we have to do now is to pass a secret budget of about 200 billion US dollars in Congress for our new weapons research and development projects." Let's start with a report. ”

Ao Guanhai nodded to the White House secretary on the side, and the White House secretary directly distributed the text in his hand to everyone in the conference room.

Soon, many people present raised their heads and lost their voices: "High-power laser weapons?"

Ao Guanhai nodded: "This is a feasibility report on countering aerospace aircraft given by the expert group of the Ministry of Defense in the past month, and laser weapons are a project that everyone agrees on." ”

In this document, the United States will build four laser weapon base stations with a power of more than 100 million watts on the ground to intercept targets between 60 kilometers and 30,000 kilometers on the ground, in addition, such as the original Boeing 747ABL laser weapon carrier aircraft project, space-based laser weapon project and so on will be restarted.

PS: The monthly pass has fallen to the eighth again, and there is only a few votes away from the seventh, so I am in urgent need of support
