Chapter 98: Courageous Action (Part II)

"You can say that, but not exactly, mainly from wealthy Jewish businessmen. Of course, most of these people are not citizens of Israel, for example, Warren Buffett in the United States is a Jew, and he alone donated 50 billion dollars. All of these people donated in their private capacities, with more than 1,000 people exceeding $1 billion, more than 50 people exceeding 10 billion yuan, and 7 people exceeding 50 billion yuan. They are either worldly tycoons, or they come from some big family that is not visible. The Rothschilds of Britain donated $270 billion. ”

"Damn, they're all rich."

"Does that need to be said?" Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Luo Jinyong and said, "In order to manage these donors, mainly to prevent the leakage of information, the Security Affairs Liaison Office has set up a 'Rich Club', which will reveal some news related to the Planetary Defense Council to donors from time to time, and occasionally organize some social activities to enhance mutual contact. How high is the threshold for joining this club? ”

"$100 million?"

"In this world, there are at least 100,000 billionaires who can come up with $100 million."

"How much is that?"

"Two billion dollars."

Luo Jinyong was secretly shocked and said, "The question is, what can the rich get for so much money?" ”

"The right to live. If the world is destroyed, no amount of money can save their lives, and the aliens obviously will not treat them well because they are the rich men of the human race. Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "You have to understand that the richer a person is, the more important his life is." ”

"That's right."

"Also, the global economy began to deteriorate two years ago, and the financial sector in particular is extremely turbulent, which is also related to action courage."

"It's strange that so much wealth is siphoned off at once, and the economy doesn't have problems."

"To be honest, we should be grateful to Israel, to the Jews. If it weren't for the ten trillion rolled out by the Jews, Operation Courage would have been dismounted long ago. ”

"Even if you don't have the courage to act, it's not necessarily worse."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and didn't say anything. At this moment, several huge numbers appeared on the big screen, which was the countdown to the beginning of Operation Courage.

The first to launch launch vehicles were the International Space Station and the Tiangong Space Station.

Hundreds of launch vehicles are lined up in a row, and the launch is pushed from both ends to the middle, ensuring that the station's center of mass does not change much when launched. Two launch vehicles are launched at a time, with an interval of only one second, ensuring that the super-nuclear warhead has enough time to maneuver.

Immediately, twelve unmanned space stations also began to launch launch vehicles.

Unlike the two manned space stations, the launch vehicle on the unmanned space station is launched from the outside to the inside in two spirals, with the same purpose of stabilizing the center of mass of the space station.

The scene is extremely spectacular, but as the camera zooms out, the shock is greatly reduced.

The footage must have been taken by a small orbital maneuvering spacecraft, which was moving away from the space station in order to avoid being caught in the tail flames generated by the rocket.

In less than three minutes, all 1,128 launch vehicles were launched.

At the end of the launch operation, Luo Jinyong glanced at Zhang Xiaogang. Zhang Xiaogang just nodded slightly, and Luo Jinyong didn't ask more.

The Houyi project was launched at the same time, a minute earlier to be exact. When the Tiangong space station launched the last carrier rocket, the four magic arrows all sent the third stage into low-earth orbit, making the four rockets mixed up with the more than 200 rockets launched one after another.

Because of the tail flames emitted by the launch vehicles in the thousands of degrees Celsius, the wide range of the waves, and the very high launch densities, the surveillance equipment deployed near the space station did not detect the four launch vehicles, or even the other three Arrow launch vehicles launched from the Siberian region of Russia. As for the reconnaissance satellites that were originally densely packed in low-earth orbit, in order to avoid colliding with the space station or the launch vehicle, and not to be disturbed by launch activities, they have long been transferred to other orbits, all thousands of kilometers away.

After the launch, the twelve unmanned space stations took the lead in braking.

Immediately, the frame structures on the International Space Station and the Tiangong space station automatically fell off, and then braking began.

The easiest way to re-enter the atmosphere is to brake, i.e. to reduce the orbital speed and then enter a descending spiral orbit under the influence of gravity.

Compared to the launch of a launch vehicle, this scene is even more spectacular.

The mass of the twelve unmanned space stations is more than 5,000 tons, the frame structure of the International Space Station is 18,000 tons, and the frame structure of the Tiangong space station is 13,000 tons. Because of the huge area, which is mainly flammable light alloys, after falling into the atmosphere, it will completely burn up before hitting the ground.

It won't be long before people from the Russian Far East to Australia will be able to witness the spectacular sight of the space station as it crashes into the atmosphere and burns.

Subsequently, to the west, people from all over the world could see it.

The frame structure of the Tiangong space station will eventually disappear over the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the frame structure of the International Space Station will disappear over the equator in the Atlantic Ocean.

If destruction followed, then human civilization also set off the most brilliant fireworks before the destruction.

It's just that the real test has just begun.

After the launch of the launch vehicle, it entered the control phase.

Each launch vehicle has a communication control line, which is handled by a five-person control team, so that the five nuclear powers have established a total of 1,128 communication control channels, and a total of more than 6,000 people, including other command personnel, are involved in the control work.

It's just that the number of people is not the key.

The most important thing is the computer that acts as the brain of the control system.

Each control system has a supercomputer that runs 10 billion times per second, every ten control systems form a parallel network, and the same supercomputer is responsible for comprehensive management, and every five or six parallel networks form an integrated management system, and all information is processed by a supercomputer that runs 100 billion times per second. The United States, China, and Russia have set up a fourth-tier control system, in which a supercomputer that runs a trillion times per second processes all the data of the integrated management system and manages the other supercomputers in the network. All the control information of the five countries is aggregated to Diego Garcia, which is aggregated and processed by the supercomputer that runs 10,000 trillion times per second, and then feeds the processed information back to the control centers of the five countries.

Such cumbersome control procedures have only one purpose: to keep each launch vehicle in a predetermined orbit and not to interfere with each other.

For the next hour, control centers will use information from the Hubble-2 telescope to lock onto a target for each launch vehicle.

There are as many fragments as there are launch vehicles, if not more, so every hit must be hit!

At this time, there was a situation in the control center, and several American officers and soldiers shouted in panic, and then rushed to Major General Howard.

Although Howard is officially the commander of the Doomsday Force, Stark did not arrange for anyone else to direct the coordination of Operation Courage.

Noticing this situation, Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong prepared to slip away.

Standing on the other side of the hall, Russian Commissioner Jankovich and Russia's Chief Scientific Adviser Zyuganov also noticed the situation and were also ready to leave.

It's just that Howard reacted faster.

Before the four of them could get out of the gate, the U.S. military guards guarding the gate blocked the way.

"What are you doing?" Jankovic walked in front, "Do you know who we are, get out of the way!" ”

The U.S. military guard stood motionless, neither speaking nor giving way.

Seeing Howard striding towards this side, Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said to Luo Jinyong: "Professor, you don't know anything. ”

Luo Jinyong nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

As Howard approached, Jankovic muttered to Zyuganov in a low voice.

"General!" The U.S. guards at the gate saluted Howard.

"Stand down." Howard let out a long sigh, glanced at Zhang Xiaogang and the other four, and said, "It seems that you already know what happened in Ludao, come with me." ”

Jankovic glanced at Zhang Xiaogang, looking a little hesitant.

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile, called Luo Jinyong, and followed Howard out of the command center. Although Jankovic and Zyuganov were very reluctant, Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong were not afraid, they couldn't be deserters. Besides, this is a U.S. military base, and the Doomsday Warrior Desert Island Ryuzhijian has not been able to escape, and where can a special commissioner and a chief scientific adviser escape, they can only follow hard.

"Zhang ......" Jankovic caught up with Zhang Xiaogang.

"What's the matter?"

Jankovic knew that Zhang Xiaogang was playing stupid. "You say, what are we going to do?"

"What else can I do, have a showdown with the Yankees." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Howard knows everything, it's useless for you to worry about being afraid." ”

Jankovic sighed and didn't pester Zhang Xiaogang anymore.

At this time, the commissioners and chief scientific advisers of various countries who remained in the command center already knew what was going on in the Dao, and they also knew what Howard wanted to call the Chinese and Russian personnel away for the sake of the Dao.

Zhang Xiaogang had already thought that if Howard wanted to deal with them, he would not take them out of the command center.

This is a U.S. military base, and there are dozens of armed U.S. military guards outside the door. Howard is not stupid, if he dares to move Zhang Xiaogang and them, China and Russia will definitely immediately turn against the United States.

Moreover, without the additional contributions of China and Russia, Operation Courage would never have been a complete success.

Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaogang was naturally calm.

After talking to Zhang Xiaogang, Jankovic figured out this truth, and he calmed down and no longer panicked as he did at the beginning.

Arriving at the office, and waiting for all four to enter, Howard closed the door.
