Less than five minutes after the Dream took off, an airwave crossed the Pacific Ocean in an instant.

At the same time, the U.S. long-range phased array radar in Japan also detected the unusual flight signal.

"The Okinawa base reported that the target azimuth is 026, the altitude is 30,000, and the speed is Mach 4.5, and it is still accelerating...... The Guam base reported a target azimuth 034, an altitude of 40,000, and a speed of Mach 6...... Hawaii Base Report ......"

Ten minutes after the Dream took off, US President O'Guanhai, who was about to deliver a televised speech at an important event, urgently canceled his speech and hurried to the Pentagon's underground command center.

After several previous battles, this time, both Oguanhai and Leon Panetta and others have become accustomed to the rhythm of the battle and are no longer surprised.

Okukankai said: "Leon, how is the situation now, can you judge the purpose of the other party's flight this time?"

Leon Panetta said: "Mr. President, according to the analysis that NASA has just transmitted, its orbit coincides with the orbit of the Forbes-Soil Mars rover!"

"Forbes-Soil Mars rover?"

Ao Guanhai's brows furrowed suddenly, what do these guys want to do?

Leon Panetta paused, and then said, "Mr. President, there's another intelligence ...... from the CIA."

"What information?"

CIA Director David Petraeus stepped forward. He said in a low voice: "Mr. President, according to the information we have just received on the Russian domestic front, this morning, the Russian ambassador to China, Ivanovich, accompanied by the senior management of the PLA, met with 'them'. ”

I don't know when "they" have become synonymous with this mysterious organization at the top of American society, and whenever they talk about this mysterious organization, the American high-level does not need to refer to them or the Transwarp Group, but directly refers to them.

Okukanhai's mouth pursed tightly, and his expression was stern, someone who was familiar with Mr. President. They all understand that at this time, Mr. President is in trouble again.

Two words slowly spit out from the mouth of the Oguanhai: "TheRussian!"

Russian!

The United States has been the most formidable enemy of the past half-century or so. Although the strength of the Soviet Union has declined after the collapse of the Soviet Union, this Arctic bear has once again shown signs of revival under the leadership of iron-fisted President Putin.

If you add a China that is rising at a high speed, technology, population, resources. These three factors come together. will truly challenge the hegemony of the United States in the whole world!

Why did the United States keep making trouble with Transwarp? Because they passed guò Somali pirates plotted an ambush on an American missile cruiser?

This is just a dispensable reason, and the real reason is that if the metal battery technology in the hands of Transwarp Group falls into the hands of China and Russia. The consequences of that future will be unimaginable!

Is it true that American hegemony is going to fall?

Ao Guanhai was a little depressed, as if he had seen the sunset of a powerful empire, and it also confirmed the rise of another powerful empire.

"Mr. President, Mr. President!"

Leon Panetta's call brought Okukanhai back to his senses, and Okunkai said, "Leon, what's wrong?"

Leon Panetta said, "Mr. President, what are we going to do next?"

Ao Guanhai thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Follow closely, if there is any new news, report to me!"

"Then the Russians ......"

Leon Panetta wanted to stop talking, the problem that Oguanhai could think of, how could he not imagine that the Chinese and the war situation were already very troublesome, coupled with a polar bear that was in decline but a thin camel bigger than a horse, the real challenge of the United States came.

Ao Guanhai's eyes narrowed, Russians!

But what is the future of the United States, but at this stage it is still possible to clean up the Russians.

Oguanhai turned to CIA Director David Petraeus and said, "David, we need to find something for the Russians to do! I think Ukraine is a good place!"

Although David Petraeus was only a soldier, he still had political sensitivity in this regard, and immediately heard the strings and said: "Mr. President, I understand, I will find something to do for Mr. Yanukovych!"

Ao Guanhai nodded, and said: "This time we don't want to come forward directly, hasn't Ukraine always wanted to join the EU? Let them go!"

"Yes!"

……

Chen Xin naturally wouldn't have thought that his move would bring a series of chain reactions, even if he did, he probably didn't care, Mao Zi had a problem, what did it matter to him?

The Forbes-Soil Mars rover is currently in a near-Earth elliptical orbit with an ionospheric perigee of 150 kilometers and an apogee of 230 kilometers.

If you accidentally hit the flowers and plants, it may make China and Russia disgraced in front of the international community.

But this time, it will have a different fate.

The failure of Forbes-Soil lies in the rocket engine, when Forbes-Soil was launched more than a month ago, the ascent stage and the separation stage of the star and arrow were very smooth, but no one expected that when the probe was about to enter the transfer orbit, the engine above could not start, according to the judgment of scientists, it should be the high-speed particle flow that destroyed the control chip above.

This should be considered a small glitch on the ground, as long as the chip is changed slightly, but hundreds of kilometers away in space, this means that the years of hard work and billions of dollars of money by a group of top scientists are completely destroyed.

"But it is precisely because of the adventures of human space exploration that they have been like moths to fire again and again that they have achieved what they are today, and whether they succeed or not, they should be applauded for their adventurous spirit. ”

Chen Xin's words echoed in his mind, and he floated to the porthole to carefully observe the Forbes-Soil Mars rover not far from him.

The Forbes-Soil rover has a peculiar appearance, with the back half consisting of six spherical fuel tanks and engines, a ring in the middle, and an object similar to a mast structure in front of it, which houses the landing vehicle for Phobos and the Chinese Firefly 1 probe.

The solar panels of the probe have been unfurled, silently operating at high speed at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers above Earth.

Suddenly, the fuselage of the Dream shook slightly, and a silver-white ball ejected from the Dream like a cannonball, instantly integrating into the Forbes-Soil Mars rover.

At this moment, there are countless pairs of eyes on the ground staring closely at the Dream and Forbes-Soil that are flying in low-earth orbit.

Russian National Space Agency, European Space Agency, NASA, China National Aeronautics and Space Administration, India, Japan...... Korea...... Any country with a certain degree of space capability will not miss such a global feast.

In the past, the United States used the Space Shuttle to repair satellites and replace parts for the malfunctioning Hubble Telescope, but this time the Dream Spacecraft repaired the Forbes-Soil probe is much more meaningful.

"They should start handing over, I don't know what kind of method the war situation will use to repair the Forbes!" muttered an expert from the Academy of Space Sciences at the Capital Space Flight Control Center.

Due to the previous agreement, neither China nor Russia could interfere in the war, and China and Russia could only observe the actions of Dream and Forbes-Soil in outer space through Guò radar and ground-based optical detection devices.

Therefore, the number jù transmitted back by this restoration operation is closely related to two points of light next to each other and the corresponding radar number jù information, and people do not see any specific connection between the Dream and the Forbes.

But through the connection established between Guò and Gang, Chen Xin can feel the huge changes inside the Forbes probes.

The first thing that changed was its engine!

Although the fuel carried on the Forbes is not hydrogen and oxygen, it does not prevent the steel hammer from modifying the engine, the metal material that makes up the engine has become tougher and denser, and the engine tail spray has also been modified by the steel hammer into the pinhole fit of the Dream to increase the injection speed of the gas, which will save the fuel consumption of the engine according to the principle of momentum.

According to the calculations of the steel hammer, the improved engine can accelerate the Forbes-Soil probe to more than 30 kilometers per second, which is far more than the third cosmic speed, so it will have to reserve enough fuel to slow down when it is about to reach Mars.

Even so, Forbes-Soil will reach Mars in less than a month, which is many times less than the original estimate of more than 200 days.

In addition, a small microwave-sized drone is placed on it, and four miniature solid hydrogen-oxygen engines are installed on it, which can help it make a soft landing on the surface of Mars, and the solar cells it carries can help it move on Mars for more than ten years.

However, due to confidentiality considerations, the steel hammer did not modify the Firefly-1 and the Russian Phobos-1 landing vehicle, anyway, with the Firefly-1, the war will definitely get far more than the Chinese "Firefly-1" and the Russian Phobos landing vehicle......!
