Chapter 20: Capitol Hill

The power outage in Yanjing, especially in Central, was definitely a big accident, and the investigation began almost immediately after the call. In order to reduce the impact, the investigation was carried out in secret, but not slowly.

The next day, when one of the air switches in the power control room failed, it caused a series of accidents that eventually caused a blackout, a process that was comparable to a butterfly effect that even the experts who came to evaluate it were incredible.

The accident ended quietly, except for the southbound train, there was one more dejected Humpty Dumpty!

Train name: Sunset Red.

The domestic business community is in full swing, the world technology is rising, and the black technology that is constantly thrown out can always refresh people's cognition, this is a magical company, magical like a big pocket of Doraemon, don't be bound by reality your imagination.

Behind the scenes, there is an undercurrent surging!

Zhou Xing knew that Qin Zhu Wei San would not give up so easily, and as former giants, Sodi and Hawkby would not accept defeat so easily.

The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and there is fire in hand, Zhou Xing is really not afraid.

He didn't know that thousands of miles away, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, on Capitol Hill, there was a hearing that was closely related to him.

"Captain Wood, please put your left hand here. Congressman Franklin, who was presiding over the hearing, motioned to Wood to put his hand on the Bible, "Please take the oath." ”

"I promise that all my words are based on facts, and everything is what I have seen with my own eyes......"

I haven't seen him for a long time, Wood's face is a little vicissitudes, his long stubble is full of sideburns, his hair is almost up to his shoulders, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and his head are deeper, like carving up, more clearly, his eyes are still the same, but a little less sharp, more indescribable melancholy, this kind of emotion should not have appeared in a C+ senior agent.

Chapped lips squirmed, and the routine oath was read word by word.

"Very well, could you please tell me about your mission in Africa some time ago. ”

Wood's brow furrowed into a pimple, he would have been very excited if he had come to Capitol Hill before, but now, only burnout and irritability.

This is the first time, especially after the accident of the Mississippi, the investigation, cooperating with the investigation, undergoing psychological testing, and continuing the investigation have become the theme of his life, not only the work of C+ has been stopped, but even the normal life cannot continue.

"Do you care so much about what you do?" Wood sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, I can't answer this question more than a hundred times, I'm sorry officials, what I know is in your hands, what is missing, I really can't remember!"

Wood was angry and wanted to scold, even if he went to jail for it, it would be better than endless interrogation, but when the words came to his mouth, that breath suddenly leaked.

And how!

"Wood, watch your tone!" Franklin said in a serious tone, "This is Capitol Hill, the highest decision-making body of the SU, no matter what you have been through before, I hope you can follow the process and explain it to everyone, as for what will be done after that......"

Franklin paused, and then it was really hard to say, although this matter was not known from the outside, it had long been rumored internally, there was a superman story in Africa, and it could be put on the Hollywood screen with almost no modifications.

Wood leaned back against the wooden lattice, "Okay, then I'll say it again......"

……

The night is like water, flowing into the sea.

The sea and sky are the same color, rippling in the moonlight, quiet and agile.

In front of the dock next to the pier, ripples went up against the tide of the sea, breaking countless waves.

The floodgates were wide open, tens of thousands of tons of seawater rushed in, and Zhou Xing brought glasses, which are glasses that can see clearly in the dark night, similar to infrared imaging, but much clearer than infrared effects.

Inside the dock, the Silver Star in the darkness was less elegant and more hideous, like a lurking giant beast, quietly sailing out of the dock and stopping on the shore.

From a distance, the exterior of the Silver Star has not changed much, only the hull has become narrower, but the next moment, the scenery around the ship becomes illusory, the picture is distorted, and then gradually shatters, revealing the majestic appearance inside.

The outer armor was made entirely of jet-black metal, and the deck was so empty that there wasn't even a boat island or even an observation room, and it was as flat as a football field.

At the bow of the ship, the outer deck is a triangular diamond, wrapped in the shape of a multi-faceted cone, extending to the outside of the hull, which is more than ten meters long.

"Open it!"

Zhou Xing on the shore was a little impatient!

Zorro swiped open the virtual control screen, and the triangular diamond-shaped armor slowly slid down, silently, and a thick black shadow finally revealed its true face. In stark contrast to the hull, the ramming angles are bright silver, and the trapezoidal structure is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, arching upwards to form a curved arc, and at the front is a triangular bumper with pointed spurs in front of it.

The lower part of the collision angle was covered with alloy teeth the size of a human head, and under Zorro's control, it trembled extremely quickly, turning into a ghost, and a low humming sound shattered the sea in an instant.

Zorro looked helpless, "Boss, if you want to cut the deck, the best way is to cut it, like your mainstream armor, it's not much stronger than tofu, and the effect is barely enough to get this kind of alloy tooth, but the process will definitely make people ......" Zorro's face twisted, as if he couldn't stand any stimulation and scratched his liver.

The two phases collided, the steel collided, even if the Akanti alloy was strong and strengthened with the carbon group, it was not easy to cut through a battleship.

Unlike ion cutting, the powerful energy will instantly disintegrate the deck, forming a molten scar, while the other positions are not affected, if you are willing to work hard, even the plasma state is not impossible, and the battleship will be easily cut in half, and the fracture will be level, as simple as a knife cutting tofu.

"You don't understand, you have to use a blunt knife to remember meat, not to mention that your thing is silent and not bloody enough!"

Zorro: "......"

"Is the video system I let you install all right?" Zhou Xing turned his head and asked him.

"Of course, the autopilot system also comes into play, and now you can control it with the control panel!" Zorro looked at this big toy with some helplessness, yes, it can only be called a big toy, this thing is similar to the battleship in some games, and it can be controlled by tapping on the control board screen.

Zhou Xing took over the control board, first enlarged the operation interface, turned on the control switch, and gently clicked the position not far away, and the silver star immediately started and slowly moved over.

It's really done!

Zhou Xing tested several other functions, the operation was smooth, compared to some domestic games, the experience was better, he nodded, very satisfied with this big toy.

"This autonomous driving system is still based on gPs, and here, without satellites, many things still can't be played. Zorro reminded in a whisper.

With the curvature of the earth, if you want to control it completely, you really have to resort to satellites.

In federal technology, it is a system similar to the Sky Surveyor, and the cost of arranging that thing is gratifying, and without the cooperation of other countries, don't even think about it, so the best way for the time being is to make satellites.

According to international law, whoever occupies outer space first is whoever owns it, but it saves Zhou Xing trouble, but the launch of satellites is more sensitive, and Zhou Xing does not want to use it for a while.

"Let's use it first, and when there is a suitable opportunity, I will entrust it to send a few to China. Zhou Xing squinted and stared at the undulating sea.
