"Haven't the results of the investigation come out yet?"

Xichang Satellite Launch Center, on an independent viewing platform.

Chen Nian asked Li Xiang beside him while looking at the Long March-9 rocket in the distance that was preparing for the final launch.

"No, and it is estimated that there will be no results anytime soon."

Li Xiang shook his head and replied:

"At first, the U.S. side thought it might be a simple shooting murder, but as the case progressed, they realized that the shooting was far more complex than they had imagined."

"The surveillance did not capture anything, the source of the guns could not be found, the ballistics analysis could not provide effective clues, the entry and exit records were normal, and the major gangs and underground forces were eager to prove their innocence one after another."

"In short, that killer is like a ghost, suddenly appearing and disappearing."

"There is even a suspicion that this is a resurgence of the Assasin sect, believing that the killer has melted into a steel-making furnace along with his tools after the mission is over."

"If only that were the case."

Chen Nian said helplessly.

Li Xiang also sighed helplessly, and then continued:

"yes, if that's the case, at least some clues can be found in the steel produced in the steelmaking furnace - in short, this is the importance of the Skynet system."

"If their CCTV system is as developed as ours, at least at that distance, they should be able to capture things."

"I have to say that this is an assassination with the right time and place, and the only reliable direction now is to explore the motives of the assassin."

"But here's another problem: we haven't even figured out the motive for the Laslaquera incident, and the smaller Musk incident is even more difficult."

Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded silently.

He was confused, the trend of this world had completely surpassed the experience of his previous life.

It seems that since the wave of massive mergers and acquisitions in the United States, the whole world has become magical.

On the one hand, China and most countries in the world have begun to engage in nuclear fusion and room temperature superconductivity, and even the latest Long March-9 rocket has used the first batch of superconducting process turbopump devices, realizing the convergence of aviation technology and superconducting technology.

On the other side, a group of militants are still shouting for Allah, and cowboys on the American continent are shooting with rifles for pastures

This is already an extremely magical comparison, but now, a mysterious organization has emerged that I don't know where it came from, and every action is precisely hit at the vulnerable point of the world pattern.

"Is it possible a coincidence?"

Chen Nian continued to ask.

"Of course it is possible, and it can even be said that 'coincidence' is the most credible explanation."

"Perhaps, according to the final investigation results, Musk just provoked a certain stunned young man in a bar, and then this stunned young man stole the gun hidden in the house and shot him a few times."

"Let's hope so, it's the best outcome for us."

Chen Nian said.

In fact, there are some mysteries hidden in his words that cannot be said explicitly, that is, I hope that this matter will not leave a tail.

Whoever it is, kill it, just don't get caught.

After all, judging from the current situation, Huaxia is still benefiting from this incident.

As soon as Musk died, the stock prices of all his companies plummeted instantly, and the departure of a banner figure will always bring a lot of opportunities, even if NASA intervenes strongly in the later stage and puts up a new flag for SpaceX, Musk's legacy should have been carved up.

A giant can't fall in such a short time, but if wounds begin to appear on the legs that support his body, then it is clear that it will be a great opportunity for hunters who want to "hunt" this giant.

The fabled Guinea Common Development Fund may take advantage of the chaos to continue to embed its "capital chips" in order to penetrate the most important industry in the United States.

And other capital forces will also besiege and fill in the gaps, snatching the ripe fruits as much as possible.

However, if we talk about the biggest gains, it is not the "capital" or "technology" gains.

Rather, it is a widening of the time difference.

Once again, the U.S. has been interrupted by the dominant strategy that it has managed to maintain, and in terms of leadership, they have almost hit rock bottom.

"That country is dying a slow death."

Chen Nian suddenly spoke.

Li Xiang glanced back at Chen Nian in surprise, and after being silent for a few seconds, he replied:

"Yes, this is also a judgment from the superiors."

"In fact, we've been carefully controlling the 'rate' of their deaths, both to avoid being too fast and triggering their alarm system, and to avoid being too slow to get them back on their feet"

"According to our estimates, in about one to two years, the United States will enter the first major plateau period."

"At that time, they will wage wars of aggression against small countries at any cost, so as to maintain the basic stability of their own countries."

"Some small countries are going to have a hard time."

Chen Nian nodded silently and did not answer again.

On the big screen, the launch of Chang'e-5 and Long March-9 rockets has entered the final countdown stage.

As the countdown to "3, 2, 1" ended, blazing flames erupted from beneath the rocket.

A large amount of white smoke then poured up-—— but it was not actually smoke, but water vapor formed by the vaporization of the cooling water under the launch frame.

The two people on the viewing platform looked at the rocket that was gradually rising into the air with a little nervousness, and even Chen Nian unconsciously clenched his fists.

After all, this is the first time that the LTV engine has performed an actual task, and it is normal to miss a thousand miles by a fraction of a second, and in the case of the maximum load, in fact, if there is a problem, it is normal

However, his worries were clearly unfounded.

The LTV engine is working more steadily than he expected, and judging from the monitoring data on the side of the screen, the environmental data of the rocket after launch fully meets the requirements, and the adjustment accuracy is even higher than expected.

A few minutes later, Chang'e-5, which has a much larger payload than Chang'e-3, entered the Earth-Moon orbit in a shorter time.

Subsequently, another standard Hohmann transfer orbit was put into orbit.

At the current speed, it will only take about 20 hours for Chang'e-5 to land on the moon.

Everything was on track, and Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's done!"

He stretched out his hand and high-fived Li Xiang, who said with a smile:

"The things sent this time are all carefully selected.Six months, when the lunar base is completed, our astronauts should go up."

"At that time, the conquest of the moon by mankind can be regarded as an official step."

"Next year, it's not far off."

Chen Nian replied.

His mind quickly flashed through the list of equipment and resources he had seen before about this moon landing, and in there, there were actually a large number of canned braised pork.

It seems that the astronauts sent by Chang'e-6 next time are really going to spend a happy time there.

And at the same time, in a resort hotel in the Seychelles.

Two men dressed in beach-resort casual attire are lying on recliners, discussing what is on the TV.

Huaxia's Chang'e-5 launch mission this time went very smoothly, and it is another big step forward for human civilization."

The man in the straw hat spoke.

Hearing his words, another bald head replied:

"Yes, they've been doing a good job in this matter."

"I have to say, this is indeed an excellent race, we used to think that white people are really good genes, and now it seems, things are not that simple."

"Genetically speaking, the yellow race is not very good, but they seem to have chosen the right cultural route from the beginning."

"And this cultural route also gives them more time to evolve-—— but fortunately, we found out quickly and did not choose the wrong direction."

The straw hat man laughed, paused for a few seconds, and after listening to the host's broadcast in the news, he continued:

"So that's my initial point, and I remember at the time, you were a staunch opponent."

"So I said, it's not right for the ass to decide the head, you can't think that just because you're white and I'm a yellow person, I have a private message in this matter."

"Actually, how could I be selfish? At this point, the boundaries of race no longer exist."

"Now I believe in you, you are indeed a well, excellent person."

The bald man said this with some hesitation, as if because he couldn't find a better adjective to describe the straw hat man in front of him.

However, the straw hat man behaved so well that he didn't resist this ambiguous title, he just nodded slightly, and continued to talk along the topic.

"Either way, our plans are going well."

"The operation in the Middle East has successfully pushed China to solve the problem quickly, while the operation in the Americas, although it has not been effective for the time being, it has just not been caught."

"Our fighters are really professional, and we should give them a reward."

"It's natural."

The bald man replied.

"However, if you want to talk about the reward, it will have to wait until he gets back here, and he has more finishing touches to do."

"One Musk's departure obviously can't make SpaceX completely fall apart, and we have to add another fire."

"The launch of Artemis II is about to start, and we need to blow up their recovery rockets."

"It's not going to be easy. There are too many uncontrollable factors in the process. ”

The Straw Hat nodded approvingly.

"The biggest challenge ever-—— have all the supplies been put to the bottom of the sea?"

"Yes, beacon signal detection is normal."

Talking about this topic, the bald man's expression became serious.

Obviously, he doesn't have much confidence in what he will do next.

"The issue of resupply is actually secondary, according to the plan, our fighters will need to lurk underwater for more than 16 hours, and after the mission, it will take another 14 hours to return."

"This is almost beyond the limits of the human body, if the mission cannot be successfully completed, the only way waiting for them is to 'sink to the bottom of the sea'."

"It's really tragic, for a better future, they don't hesitate to sacrifice their precious lives."

"I've often wondered, what's the difference between us and those guys in the Middle East?"

At this moment, the straw hat man's eyes were also a little erratic.

Yes, what is the difference between oneself, including the organization to which one belongs, and those fanatical believers?

The same is to achieve a supreme goal, the same to control members with "faith", the same unscrupulous means

In a way, they're just as crazy.

The Straw Hat Man sighed deeply.

"At the very least, we know what we're doing, and we know what we want will come to pass."

"Will it?"

The bald head asked subconsciously.

"Of course it will, and it has to be realized."

"Historically, humanity has missed too many opportunities, and many times, we have already stepped on the fast track with one foot, but in the end we have lost the opportunity because of the competition in front of this road."

"World War I, World War II, Cold War. It's really stupid. ”

"Now, for our fourth chance in nearly two hundred years, will humanity miss the same opportunity four times? I don't think so. ”

"So, what we have to do is just create the conditions for this opportunity as much as possible-—— we must do whatever it takes to bear all the infamy."

"I understand."

The bald head lay down again, and his tone became relaxed.

"Speaking of infamy, it seems that until now, no one has actually found out who we are, does that mean that one day we need to take the initiative to stand up?"

"Forget it then."

The straw hat man smiled and waved his hand.

"We are not an organization like Spark, and we don't need to be in a public capacity to address human concerns."

"It's enough to do our thing quietly, and maybe one day in the future, when people re-examine this period of history, they will find that many key nodes were created by us."

"At that time, our names will be revealed, well, I'm quite looking forward to it."

"Perhaps, in fifty years, that day will come?"

"Fifty years? I don't have 50 years to live. ”

The bald man muttered.

He closed his eyes, raised his hand to block the slightly harsh light of the seashore, and it wasn't long before he fell into a deep sleep.

The sea breeze in the Seychelles was as gentle and tranquil as ever, and neither of them caught anyone's attention from start to finish.

Tourists passing by them don't take a second look, because the appearance of these two people is indeed just ordinary middle-aged tourists.

It's no different from other vacationers on the island.

However, absolutely no one could have imagined that the two of them were the real protagonists of the recent international news.

They may be the most successful speculators in human history, or they may be the best traders in the world.

They are good at working in the smallest places to achieve maximum impact.

And their attempts continue.
