As the saying goes, trouble always comes in a timely manner.

As soon as the foreign commander had finished the secret phone call, he received an inquiry from the Wujian building at the headquarters.

The failure of the launch of a new intercontinental missile, which is still in the testing stage, is actually not a big deal, who made it a test object. Moreover, the military can not pay a penny for this kind of test product, and it belongs to the arms company to pay for the military uncle to practice.

However, why did the missile used for testing temporarily change its original target and turn its head to the mysterious aircraft that took off from the territory of China? What's more, it didn't succeed yet, and turned around and knocked out the military's hidden satellite hidden under the table, which nominally has nothing to do with the military, but in fact has provided technical support for the military's overseas covert operations many times.

The message conveyed by the headquarters personnel was very simple, asking him to immediately rush to the headquarters to report in person, and the commander, whose face was as heavy as water, could only accept the order, and turned around and dialed the secret phone again.

His attitude was clear: Fack, let me do what I did, and don't expect me to clean up the mess alone.

And in areas he didn't know, the troubles were much more than that. The communication satellite destroyed by the missile produced a large amount of debris, most of which sputtered away in the direction of boundless deep space, and some of the debris streams very "coincidentally" affected the two United States satellites in the nearby orbit, causing them to be completely damaged.

One of them belongs to the polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite system of the United States - this system provides high-quality meteorological and environmental data for both the military and civilian sides of the United States, and the damaged one belongs to the important node of this satellite system - responsible for meteorological data monitoring in North America. Until there are new weather satellites to replace them, tens of thousands of commercial enterprises and research institutions will lose specialized climate support in North America. The other satellite belongs to CNN, the largest professional news television station in the United States, and tens of thousands of users will not be able to watch CNN programs for a period of time.

As a matter of fact, such a thing as an intercontinental missile bombardment of a space target cannot be concealed at all, and the military's official information may not be available, but a sufficient number of astronomical stations and various scientific research institutions witnessed the whole incident, and in fact, quite a number of astronomy enthusiasts with certain observation equipment are also eyewitnesses, but this group of civilian witnesses has an extremely strong demand for dissemination.

A few minutes after the missile destroyed the communication satellite, a folk god uploaded a video of the whole process on social platforms - most civilian astronomical telescopes can now be connected to external cameras, so the pixels of the whole video are still quite clear, and professional astronomical cameras are used for visual shooting.

As a number of related videos were posted on the Internet, the topic of "intercontinental missile attack satellites" quickly became a hot topic. In addition, at a time when the world situation is fragile and sensitive, the people's reaction to this incident is very strong, and the emotions are still progressing: First, I asked whose missile is this? Whose satellites? Speculation and conspiracy theories soon turned into widespread concern about the imminent start of World War III.

The entry of large media groups has made the whole thing continue to escalate. Ten minutes after the incident, CNN, as the affected pond fish, reported the news very quickly, interrupted the original news broadcast, and began to broadcast the news. Because the topic of the whole thing was hot enough, other major media did not miss it, and they all followed up with the report as soon as possible.

Twenty minutes after the incident, CNN released a new monitoring video, which was quoted and forwarded in a short period of time. In this video, there are not only clips of missiles attacking satellites, but also footage of multiple unidentified aerial vehicles with tail flames resembling rockets flying out of the atmosphere. After the video was played, the host also quoted expert analysis: The real target of the missiles should be these aircraft. As a result, there is another topic of debate in this melon-eating conference: What are these flying machines? Who did this to you? What are you going to do?

Do you have a lot of question marks in your little heads?

Thousands of miles away, there is the calm before the storm.

Chen Wenhao's gaze moved away from the light screen and looked at Yan Guoping, who was walking quickly, "The report has been sent?" ”

"No problem, send it directly to the assistant of the Wu Bureau, I just called to confirm that I received it."

"It's hard work, the announcement on the official website can also be sent."

Yan Guoping did not hesitate, he answered and went to arrange, the plan is at this stage, any hesitation and indecision is a superfluous emotion, as the old saying goes, the arrow has to be sent on the string. It stands to reason that the trivial matter announced on the company's official website does not need the CEO of a business department to be personally responsible, but at this moment, Yan Guoping's approach is undoubtedly firming his choice.

Soon, without any publicity and promotion, the homepage of the official website of Infinite Future Company silently refreshed a new announcement:

"This morning, the latest model of Infinite Future's spacecraft made its first deep space test flight, and the spacecraft is currently operating along the established route and is in stable flight status. In the next step, the company will start the space station construction program. ”

Many domestic technology media and self-media people are particularly fond of evaluating and analyzing the product technology of the infinite future system, for the simple reason that the number of clicks is particularly high.

Therefore, compared with the official websites of most companies, the number of daily IP visitors often hovers in the double-digit dilemma, and the attention of the official website of Infinite Future Company is not at the same level at all. Such an announcement was quickly carried to social platforms by good people and quickly sparked heated discussions.

The people's association power and brain power are endless, and soon some people will associate the information disclosed in this announcement with the topic of discussion on the foreign Internet.

At this moment, global public opinion is about to explode.

As the center of this storm of public opinion, Chen Wenhao is in the command hall, but Xiaoka will continue to feed back various reactions from the outside world to him, but he is the person who knows the overall information best.

The bell rang, and the call from the top of the air traffic control bureau:

"Mr. Chen, I have seen your company's report. This matter is far beyond my purview, and I have reported it as soon as possible. Speaking of this, his words were a little hesitant, "Anyway, from my personal point of view, I still admire your company's technology and courage." As a technocrat in the Air Force, especially in the most technical aviation industry, he has always admired technology. And every day after Infinite Future entered the aerospace industry, it seems to be refreshing his cognition. He could have avoided making this call, but in the end he did.

Just ten minutes later, Chen Wenhao connected another call.

It was Commissioner Short, the liaison representative of the national security department. He didn't have a high sense of presence before, and he would attend various important events but basically only listened to them, and did not communicate too much with corporate executives, as if he was deliberately downplaying his presence.

The voice of Commissioner Short was still as cold as ever, polite but rusty, "Mr. Chen, are you in Yidong Park?" ”

After receiving a positive reply, he continued to speak in the same tone, "Please stay in the park and do not go out, a special team has been temporarily formed, and will take a military plane to you, I hope to communicate with you in person about the specific details of this operation." ”

"Yes, welcome."
