It can be said that this is the first time that such a situation has occurred since the beginning of the new century, and it has caused such a sensation to fall into a state of panic in various countries on a global scale.

The impact was no less than that of the nuclear bomb.

The only difference is that although nuclear bombs are in the hands of a small number of forces, space-based weapons are indeed an exception.

Because apart from Xu Yun, there is no second person who has this technology.

If this matter is not handled as soon as possible, it may threaten the peace of human civilization.

Coupled with the operation of overseas netizens, the Security Council naturally quickly grasped the situation.

But they were slow.

Just as the four Yutu-3 lunar rovers on the moon were put into operation, the cabinet conference room, where the highest power was located in the special zone city on the other side of the ocean, was once again filled with members.

And in addition to Oakes, the head of the security building, Nibison, the head of the space agency, also attended the meeting.

Originally, at a meeting of this level, the discussion and research were all major matters.

But lately, it's been held more often.

Two of them were cell active agents developed for Xu Yun.

In a way, it is no different from private matters.

After all, although they were successfully inoculated with cell-active agents during the previous visit, it would take two years to get a sufficient number of imported agents.

But they can't help it.

It can only be said that the sun and the moon have changed, and they have also tasted the difficulties of limited technology.

And this time, the sudden and impromptu meeting, although it is related to the stability of the global situation, I still can't avoid Xu Yun to investigate the ultimate reason.

Who made this space-based weapon that makes people talk about it is also Xu Yun's masterpiece.

"This is what happened just a few hours ago, and I have reason to suspect that they are experimenting with their own secretly developed space-based weapons under the pretext of building a lunar base."

"Maybe this so-called live broadcast on the moon is also for the purpose of this weapon experiment."

"It's a way to show the world."

As the chief leader sitting in the middle took the lead in breaking the atmosphere, a secretary suddenly played a video on the screen in the conference room.

It was the drilling device that accelerated its rotation and flew towards the surface of the moon to hit the screen.

I have to say that this suspicion is very reasonable, and the damage caused by the drilling device to the lunar surface from the video alone has nothing to do with the well-known space mission.

It's more like experimenting with a new type of weapon.

It's just that the location of the experimental weapon was placed on the moon, and it was not carried out on Earth.

As these remarks were all spoken in the meeting, the other members of the audience could not help but be a little silent.

It is impossible to imagine that the other side is also researching weapons so quickly.

Completely exceeded expectations.

In fact, the concept of space-based weapons has long been proposed, referring to weapons launched directly in low-earth orbit.

Because it is difficult to monitor and intercept, it is also called the hand of God.

In recent years, the pace of research on space-based weapons has not stopped, and the development of space technology can also play a favorable role, but unfortunately this time it is not only the other people who are also lagging behind.

The most speechless thing is that it is not yet known whether Xu Yun, the developer of this space-based weapon, was developed as a space-based weapon from the beginning or as an ordinary drilling device.

If it's the latter, it's undoubtedly even more embarrassing.

It can be said that everyone is thinking the same thought in their minds at this moment, if only Xu Yun were their scientist.

In that case, where is the current bad thing?

But there is a difference between dreams and wishful thinking, and this possibility will never arise.

They still have to face the reality and come up with a response as soon as possible.

Seeing that the members of the House of Representatives in the conference room had no intention of speaking, as the leader-in-chief, he had to take the initiative to stir up the topic.

So he went straight to the question.

"At present, the emergence of space-based weapons has caused a lot of public opinion, and many regions are still asking us about the response measures, what actions should we take in response to the current situation?"

"Whatever you think, you can tell it."

Yes.

He directly gave the matter a given nature.

It is clear that the device developed by Xu Yun is a space-based weapon.

What a drilling device is just a rhetoric.

Seeing that his boss was almost named directly, it was naturally difficult for others to continue to pretend to be silent.

Organize the language a little, and soon someone finally broke the silence.

"Judging from the launch process and power of space-based weapons in the video, it is obvious that the technology mastered by the other side is very mature, and we must find a way to limit it, and we must not let it continue to study, otherwise the global situation will never change."

Finally, someone else opened the chatterbox, and immediately mobilized everyone's desire to speak.

As soon as this view was settled, there were dissenting opinions.

"This is different from the previous nuclear bomb situation, no one except them has mastered this space-based weapon, how can we ask them to stop the research and development, don't forget that the other party's cell activity agent and quantum cloud platform are what we need at the moment."

It may be because he told the actual situation at the moment, and he immediately got the approval of others.

"I hope that some people will see the situation at hand, and that a tough attitude will only be counterproductive."

"The sleeping dragon has really woken up, and I don't think anyone will dare to pluck its beard."

"Don't forget that there's still a space-based weapon that hasn't been released yet, and I don't want it to fall on us, that must be a very bad thing."

……

As some lawmakers feared, the manned spacecraft was carrying two drilling devices.

It was supposed to be used as a backup, but I didn't expect the drilling device to work so well, and the mission was successfully completed with only one launch.

The rest of the device must not be wasted, so it temporarily docked with the space station.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you really want to restart this drilling device.

It is completely capable of bombarding the ground.

And there is no possibility of interception.

Perhaps it was because of this reminder that a picture appeared in everyone's mind, and the entire conference room was silent again.

It seems that the meeting has reached an impasse.

In desperation, the commander-in-chief sitting in the middle looked around, temporarily stopped at Ochs's body and asked: "With the latest anti-missile system we are currently deploying, can we achieve 100% interception of this space-based weapon?" "Desperate to know the answer.

This sentence also aroused the curiosity of others present, and they all turned their eyes to it.

Before Oakes came to attend today's meeting, he had already learned the news of the successful experiment of space-based weapons on the moon, and he had made some preparations in advance to deal with it.

The purpose is to cope with the current situation.

was asked by his own leader, and it would be too incompetent if he didn't know about it.

It seems that the ability is not good.

So in the face of this question, he replied without hesitation: "I have asked military experts in this area before coming here, and the answer given is that it is difficult to successfully intercept it." ”

Although he didn't say it completely, no one present could hear the meaning.

It is almost certain that even the most advanced anti-missile systems will not be able to intercept such space-based weapons.

That is to say, as long as the opponent activates space-based weapons to carry out ground strikes, it will only be passively beaten.

Although Oakes didn't want to admit it, he couldn't ignore the fact that he was in front of him.

But the more this happened, the more he regretted it.

I knew that Xu Yun was such a legendary scientist, so when the International Congress of Mathematicians was held, he should have been forcibly detained.

But no one else can be blamed, only himself.

Who made Xu Yun at the beginning Although he showed a strong talent in mathematics, but after all, the age is there, and no one would think that Xu Yun can bring so much shock to the scientific community in just a few years, and he also spans many important fields.

"Isn't there any other way to intercept it?"

"It hasn't been found yet." Oakes replied again, and his whole face became very solemn.

Not even just him, even the general sitting in the middle had a similar expression.

Fell into silence and racked his brains to think of a coping plan.

In the current situation, there are only two ways to neutralize the effects of space-based weapons.

Either they have the strength to intercept this space-based weapon, so that they do not have to be afraid of the deterrent power. Either persuade the other side to immediately stop all research on space-based weapons and take the initiative to destroy the remaining drilling device.

It's a pity that if you look closely, it seems that neither of the above two methods can be done.

After all, this is not the same as it used to be.

In the face of so many constraints in various aspects, the only thing that can be done is to speed up the progress of research and development of space-based weapons.

As long as they also have space-based weapon technology, they can check and balance each other.

Maintain a balance similar to that of a nuclear bomb.

The thought stayed here, and the Commander-General's gaze immediately turned to Nibison, the head of the Aeronautics and Space Administration.

"Is there any hope that we can make such a device as well, that it is difficult to imitate?"

When Nibison heard this, his first reaction was to blurt out a complaint, thinking that he had not paid attention to the research and development of space technology in recent years, and even restarted the moon landing program to cooperate with SpaceX in order to ensure success.

Who gave the confidence that that that kind of space-based weapon could be developed casually.

Of course, he only dared to think about these words in his mind, and he would definitely not dare to say them directly on such an occasion.

So the words were changed when they came to their mouths.

"This space-based weapon of the other side can be launched in planetary orbit, and the power and accuracy are shocking, and it will be very difficult to study without detailed technology."

He may have learned Oakes' way of speaking, and he is equally tactful in his answers.

It just shows that the research is relatively difficult, and it is not that the research cannot be done.

Two inquiries in a row received unsatisfactory answers, and the general who was sitting in the middle at the moment also had an extremely ugly face.

It seems that in his tenure, there has never been such a complex and difficult problem to solve.

Nibison noticed this situation and felt that he had to do something at this time, otherwise it would be too unlucky to be punished and removed from his post for this.

After a little hesitation, he finally took the initiative to add:

"But we don't have any good news, the current restart plan for the moon landing is going well, and we can even send astronauts to the moon before the other side."

If you put it in the past, this news can really bring joy to everyone.

But now there is no mood to pay attention.

After all, everyone has come up with space-based weapons, so what's the use of landing on the moon first.

Even to put it mildly, when the other party directly launches the drilling device, there is no way.

So he just nodded and said no more.

Seeing that he didn't get the effect he wanted, Nibison was a little unhappy, but he could only continue to remain silent and choose to keep silent.

At this point in the discussion of space-based weapons, there is still no feasible response plan, which inevitably makes others anxious, and I don't know how long this meeting will last.

That's it.

After nearly half a minute of silence, Oakes finally couldn't hold it anymore.

After a little hesitation, he decided to speak his mind.

"I think the only way to do this is to refer this matter to the Security Council, to question it on their behalf, and it would be better to limit the development and use of such space-based weapons."

In fact, he didn't really want to make suggestions, and last time he said his opinion because of the cell activity agent, he was ignored, but in the end, everyone did what he proposed.

It's a waste of time to toss back and forth.

However, the impact of this time is relatively widespread, and if this is not solved as soon as possible, I really don't know how many people will suffer from insomnia.

And I have to say that his words also made everyone's eyes shine, and I really think it is the most appropriate after going through it in my mind.

Their strength alone is no longer enough, but it is completely different for the Security Council to intervene, not to mention the support and vision of so many overseas people behind it.

The thought stayed here, and the Commander-in-Chief quickly made a decision.

Looking at everyone calmly, he openly stated: "The other side is secretly developing space-based weapons and experimenting with them, which is abandoning the peace and disregard of human civilization, and the Security Council should immediately ask it to stop researching." ”

"In addition, increase the news media coverage of this incident so that everyone knows the harm."

It can be said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring, as if they have completely forgotten what they have done before.

With these words ringing in the conference room, it can be regarded as a temporary end to this emergency meeting, and the next thing that needs to be done is to implement this matter concretely.

……

Maybe they were really scared this time, and they moved faster than before.

Almost the day after the meeting, there were a number of news reports on the extranet about the bombardment of the lunar surface by the drilling device.

In these news reports, there is no mention of the construction of the first lunar base and the drilling of lava pipe holes, and the incident is completely described as an experiment in space-based weapons.

Driven by this view, more and more people are joining in to demand an end to the development of such weapons.

It means that this will become the next nuclear bomb, which will seriously affect the safety and continuation of human civilization.

Of course, this kind of thing is commonly used on the website platform in China, but it can't make any waves at all.

First of all, in everyone's hearts, Xu Yun's position is unshakable.

In addition, everyone knows that Xu Yun's research and development of the drilling device is to test the lunar base, and it has nothing to do with the so-called space-based weapons.

What's more, even if space-based weapons are really developed, others have no right to care.

Besides, space-based weapons are secretly developed by many forces, and they want to be used as killer weapons in the future.

It's just that Xu Yun took the lead in developing it successfully.

Because when those overseas remarks came, netizens were immediately shocked by this shamelessness, and they were filled with righteous indignation to correct Xu Yun's name, but also did not forget to launch a counterattack.

Some people have even commented that they should ban the sale of cell active agents and deny access to the quantum cloud platform.

"Academician Xu obviously just developed a drilling device, how can it become a space-based weapon in those people's mouths."

"What are the people who say this afraid of?"

"I can't study it and I don't allow others to have it, right, this is definitely the biggest joke of this century."

"Whoever comes, it's a normal drilling rig."

"Why stop researching, in my opinion, we should put more arrangements in low-earth orbit."

"Let me see which place is the most troublesome, and directly stop their access to the quantum computer cloud platform."

"Don't even think about inoculating cell active agents."

……

"Our lunar surface drilling device, it seems that the impact this time is even greater than I imagined!"

On May 9, 2027, Zhou Mingwei, who had just returned from the launch center in the space office, browsed the news on the Internet, and then mentioned the matter to Xu Yun next to him with a wry smile.

Seeing the effect brought by the launch of the drilling device, Zhou Mingwei was worried about this, and also deliberately mentioned it in the control and command hall.

But at that time, he thought that at most, he would be taken out to make some articles, and the impact would not last long.

The turn of events turned out to be completely unexpected.

They had just finished dealing with the matter at the launch center, and they were going to make every effort to build the core module of the lunar base and lay the foundation for the official construction of the base, but they did not expect that the topic of space-based weapons was being discussed around the world.

Even to a certain extent, the power of the drilling device is exaggerated.

Of course, the main drilling device has not been released on the ground, and it is indeed impossible to accurately judge the specific power.

Xu Yun was sitting on the sofa making himself a pot of tea at the moment, and when he heard Zhou Mingwei complaining about this matter, he was also quite depressed and speechless.

Obviously, he was just researching an ordinary drilling device, but it turned out to be a space-based weapon.

Even the Security Council was alarmed.

In addition, he also knew something about the sounds outside, but it would definitely be impossible for him to stop the development of the drilling device.

At present, the first lunar base of human civilization has not yet been successfully built, and the number of bases will definitely need to be expanded in the future.

You must know that in his plan, it is very likely that this device will be used in the construction of Mars bases in the future.

Its performance and power are only going to get stronger.

As for others who have to say that it is a space-based weapon, then he is too lazy to explain anything, anyway, he does not mind letting such a device really become a space-based weapon when necessary.
